The contents of the box were a small fan and a dance card set, just as the ladies in the park had mentioned. Ruela, without even shaking it, admired the beautiful fan with a sigh.

“It’s so beautiful. I’ve never seen such a cute fan.”

“It’s the idea of Her Majesty the Empress. A clever scheme to drain the enemies’ money.”

“A fan?”

“Yes. Fans usually have a standard size.”

“Yes. Everyone carries fans of similar size and shape.”

“So, the consumption of accessories wasn’t significant. As long as the colors were somewhat matching, it wasn’t too awkward.”

“Yes, that’s true. If you look at the items in the Karmoon Mansion, there were many dresses, but only a few fans.”

“That’s why they decided to popularize different sizes. Small fans, large fans, non-foldable Eastern-style fans, and so on. Not only that, but if you read the etiquette book, it also introduces gloves of different lengths, including lace gloves for summer.”

“The one who made the etiquette must be Her Majesty the Empress. Cozette helped with it too.”

Cozette smiled as if acknowledging, sipping her tea. Ruela, who had looked at the fan earlier, now took out the dance cards from the box and examined them.

“Are dance cards included in the set like this?”

“Yes. Her Majesty the Empress planned the set. If you look under the cards, there should be handkerchiefs as well.”

“Oh, really?”
As she said, it was true. Until just now, it was covered, so I couldn’t see, but inside the box, neatly arranged handkerchiefs were in place. Ruela took out the fan, dance cards, and a clearly matching pair of handkerchiefs from the box and laid them out on the table.

The fan, adorned with natural stones in a vivid peacock blue color on a light mint background, was so bright and dazzling that it reflected light brilliantly when shaken.

The dance cards had a design that could be hung on the fan, about the size of two finger joints, and similarly had small mint-colored gems embedded.

The handkerchief also had a coral-colored lace embroidery on a background of the same color as the fan, and small natural stones emitted light from the four corners.

“If you sell it as a set like this, who wouldn’t buy it?”

Cozette laughed aloud.

“It’s truly a set that captures people’s hearts, isn’t it? In reality, handkerchiefs are commonly made from the leftover fabric by the mansion’s seamstress. Even if you roughly put lace on the surface, it looks decent.”

“It seems like an item that doesn’t need to be purchased at all.”

“That’s right. But Her Majesty the Empress made even such unnecessary products tempting.”

“I’d like to meet her once.”

Ruela suddenly stood up and held the fan against the dress hanging there.

“It’s a set. I didn’t think mint color would suit it, but the color of the gem in the center matches the dress, so it seems like it was coordinated with the dress.”

The dress Cozette made was a greenish-blue dress.
The boat neckline dress, by design, was a simple dress with a snug sleeve that descended to the elbows, adorned with small ribbons. However, the harmonious combination of vibrant colors and scattered peacock blue gemstones on the chiffon created a unique and irresistible charm that captivated the gaze.

Certainly, it differed from the dresses seen at the Kamun Mansion or those worn by other noblewomen. Could it be described as more modern? Excluding lace or patterns, the simple design showcased a pinnacle of sophistication and elegance.

“With just a fan, you could be the star of the vibrant ball.”

Cozette stood up, received the fan, and attached it to the waist.

“When not in use, you can attach it to the waistband like this.”

“It’s really convenient. Last time I went to a party, I wanted to get rid of the fan because it was so uncomfortable. Watching people, even when men raise their shoulders and dance, they still hold fans.”

“Sometimes people entrust oversized fans to those around them, but it’s actually an inconvenient situation for everyone. That’s why these small fans have become immensely popular.”

“I’m curious. Even for convenience, it seems like people wouldn’t use large fans. How do you sell them? If only small fans are in fashion, there might be a moment when sales decline.”

“We made them connect to bracelets.”

Ruela’s mouth dropped open.

“Then do we have to buy bracelets as a set too?”
Cozette’s eyes drew an even larger arc than before.

“Of course.”

“You’re really amazing. You must have saved up a lot of money.”

“Imitating trendy products is quick. We exclusively sell etiquette books, and for this design, we were the first to sell it in our dressing room, but we didn’t grant exclusive rights.”

“Still, people are weak for the original.”

“Instead, if the quality is poor, people tend not to seek the original either.”

Ruela returned to her seat, waiting for Cozette to sit across from her before speaking.

“In Kuran, small hats are currently in fashion. The ones you made, Cozette, are like that, right? How about Elab?”

“If only one becomes a trend, the sales decline, so we make both popular.”
