Ruela, nodding at Cozette’s opinion, asked as if curious.
“But how do you find the leader?”
“There will be someone who manipulates the ladies. If you go and quietly observe, you’ll start to see the flow.”
While Shuna was stroking Ruela’s hair, she seemed lost in thought.
Deciding to put aside the conspicuous thoughts, Ruela returned to the fact that Velder’s obsession was beyond her imagination. However, avoiding Velder forever would be impossible.
Even if they didn’t meet today, she had decided to continue her social activities, so they would inevitably meet somewhere, somehow.
Still, now that she had officially become a member of the Ferros Guild, she wouldn’t be able to act recklessly as before.
She had already sent a letter explaining her visit to Velder’s mansion when she went to the Kamun Territory, so Velder couldn’t force her to explain the reason. No, she wanted to believe that he wouldn’t do that.
No matter how strong the power, wearing the cloak of royalty, she thought one couldn’t completely ignore the gaze of others.
In that case, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to imprint herself in the social circles as Cozette suggested.
Since the situation was like a hot potato on the fire, it seemed reasonable to make use of it.
“Alright, Miss. Do you like it? I learned it from Cozette yesterday.”
Looking at Ruela with loosely tied hair flowing down one shoulder, she sighed in admiration.
“It still doesn’t look like me, no matter how I look at it.”
“You did a great job with the fiery makeover earlier. How can you be so lovely? Thanks to your stove, it was very easy to finish.”
Meg praised Ruela’s stove with admiring eyes.
“If you need it in the kitchen, feel free to use it. I have several in my bags, so I don’t have to carry them around.”
“Miss’s bags?”
Not understanding what Meg meant, she blinked and asked.
“Yes, I have those sturdy bags.”
Cozette understood Ruela’s implication and burst into laughter.
“There’s probably no one else but you, Miss, who would describe such eminent figures as sturdy bags. Of course, it’s probably because you’re close enough to say such things.”
While fixing Ruela’s hair curls that had fallen down, Cozette asked.
“You said it was bothersome and you didn’t like it earlier, but now that you see it, you must think it was a good idea, right?”
“Yes. I made the right decision to listen. Of course, if I had to do it every day, I wouldn’t be able to bear it, but for just one day, it’s tolerable.”
“Go and mention Cozette’s name a lot. My exclusive designer’s room is planned to open first in the Kingdom of Kuran due to someone’s request, even before entering the capital of Helene. So, you have to help me.”
“Of course. I’ll go and proudly show off my exclusive designer today.”
“It seems like it’s time to depart. Have a safe trip.”
Cozette, finishing the adjustments on the dress, said.
Ruela descended to the lower floor with Shuna.
She couldn’t handle the vastness of the dress workshop alone.
“You might step on the hem and roll down the stairs if you’re not careful.”
The stairs from the third floor were narrow and steep, unlike the central stairs connecting the second and first floors, making it very inconvenient.
“Oh, Miss. Don’t say such things. Remember how surprised you were at Kamun Mansion before. Stop making jokes like that, even in jest.”
“Alright, sorry. I won’t do it again.”
It was when Ruela, feeling remorseful, apologized and set her foot on the stairs leading to the first floor.
“Oh, who is it?”
Hazan, who had finished preparing and was waiting in the hall, greeted her with an exaggerated shout.
“Do I look unrecognizable?”
When Ruela asked, posing in various ways in the middle of the stairs, everyone burst into laughter.
“If you go that far, it’s a disguise. I didn’t know Cozette was a master of disguise more than me.”
“Stop teasing. What if you get hurt rolling down the stairs?”
Kite came out from among friends and reached where Ruela was, holding her hand.
“Is it uncomfortable?”
To the unexpected question, Ruela laughed without extending her hand.
“Most of the time, people say things like ‘You look beautiful,’ ‘I’m surprised,’ or ‘I wouldn’t recognize you.’ Aren’t I supposed to say that?”
“Nothing new. Your beauty, as you always said, shines no matter what you wear. Now I’m more concerned about you wobbling along.”
Ruela held Kite’s hand and spoke while descending the stairs again.
“Yes, it’s uncomfortable. Cozette said it’s okay, but in fact, the heels are higher than what I used to wear, so my movements naturally become quieter.”
“I’ll ask Cozette to make the next one with lower heels.”
At Kite’s words, Ruela quickly nodded.
“That’s not possible. I should prepare the most suitable shoes for the dress ensemble. I don’t want to kick off that ensemble just to be more comfortable. It’s better to let Cozette handle it.”
“Why are you two whispering like that?”
Raphael, who seemed tired of waiting, urged them to come down quickly.
Kite, leading Ruela, went to where everyone was gathered and gave instructions for the upcoming events.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
