She carefully tied a large ribbon at my back into a beautiful shape, then picked out shoes that perfectly matched my dress.
Time flew by, and soon it was nearly dinner time.
Holding Ronia’s hand tightly, I hurriedly walked toward the dining hall.
“Wow, Lady Bella! You look particularly beautiful today.”
“The purple dress matches your hair color very well! Your braided hair is also cute.”
Though it wasn’t like the grand balls, each person I ran into poured out compliments since I had gone to some effort to dress up.
“Hehe, thanks. Do I look okay today?”
“Of course. I doubt there’s anyone as cute as Lady Bella in the entire kingdom.”
“Aww, you’re exaggerating.”
“I mean it! I’ve never seen anyone so adorable in this kingdom.”
Feeling my cheeks flush at the sincerely oozing replies, I hurried my pace, bowing my head so people wouldn’t see my red face.
‘It’s a bit embarrassing, but I guess I’m getting used to this kind of reaction.’
Truthfully, being called cute or adorable by someone felt very awkward to me.
Ever since I reincarnated into Bella’s body, such events had become almost commonplace. In my previous life, I had never heard such compliments because I grew up without experiencing them.
‘What was I like in my previous life?’
Walking silently down the corridor, I recalled my past self.
The pale skin resulting from not getting enough sun, and a frail body due to malnutrition.
My unmanaged hair was always messy, and the clothes I wore were practically rags.
Because of that, I had never heard anyone call me adorable, and I had accepted that as a given.
‘Now everything has changed.’
Though I still couldn’t venture outside Rose Palace, my environment was filled with people who cherished and valued me, and food was abundant.
I had a room with large windows to soak up ample sunshine, soft bedding, and a vast personal garden. I also had access to plenty of books to read whenever I wished.
In just one year, I had undergone enormous changes due to experiencing things I never even dreamed of in my previous life.
‘I guess I’ve gotten pretty accustomed to receiving people’s affection.’
Once upon a time, I would instinctively doubt what others said, so considering the past, this was a great leap forward.
I’m still not adept at expressing myself, though.
Feeling secretly proud, I entered the restaurant, where Elga and Sione had already arrived and welcomed me warmly.
“You’ve arrived, Bella. You look adorable today.”
“Uh, thank you. Sione.”
“Looking all dolled up, you really do resemble Vlady’s daughter. Sometimes when I see that guy, my eyes hurt so much they tingle.”
Hmm, is that an innovative way to say my dad is good-looking?
I awkwardly smiled and handed Elga a gift bag containing cookies I had prepared earlier.
“Grandma, this is for you. I made it myself.”
“Oh, thank you. But I don’t like being called ‘Grandma.’ Just call me Sister Elga.”
“…That seems a bit shameless.”
“But look, don’t the young apprentices here look older than me? So ‘sister’ is more appropriate than ‘grandma.'”
While Elga was unfolding her illogical theory, Sione’s face scrunched up to an expression best described as sour.
She must have experienced this sort of situation more than once.
After handing Sione the cookies I had prepared for her, we all sat down in our designated seats.
There was some commotion outside, and then a stranger walked clumsily into the restaurant.
‘Who is that?’
I squinted my eyes and looked at the black-haired boy dressed in white and blue patterns.
He looked familiar, and sure enough, it was Raven.
“Wow, who is this? I can’t even recognize him!”
“I know, right? He looks like a completely different person dressed so neatly.”
Whispers and gasps erupted from those around us, and both Sione and Elga looked equally surprised.
I was no different, and found myself gazing blankly at Raven.
‘Is that really Raven?’
The boy I remembered had unkempt black hair and wore nondescript clothes typically worn by commoners.
But this Raven was completely different.
He was wearing much finer clothing, and had his hair neatly combed back.
Raven now exuded an air of a noble heir from a foreign land. Even his uniquely sharp and composed eyes radiated sophistication.
Amid the suffocating silence, Raven, who had been standing quietly, spoke in a voice tinged with displeasure.
“…Why are you all staring at me like that? Did something spectacular happen?”

Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
