“My goodness, what’s all this?”

Following Tien to his room on the second floor, Luella looked at various wigs, glasses, and mustaches set aside, expressing her astonishment.

“It’s because I often have to do dangerous work that I’ve collected them little by little.”

Tien said, looking embarrassed.

“You brought all of these here?”

“I also bought many of them after arriving here. You can wear this dress, and… which wig would you like to wear?”

Luella looked at the clothes Tien had brought and shook her head.

“Umm… it doesn’t seem like Tien’s clothes are the best choice. Earlier, I saw a servant in the hall who seemed to be of similar build to me. Could I borrow his clothes? Even if I’m disguised, it would be less noticeable since it’s more ordinary than a noble’s outfit.”

“That’s a good idea. Ralph!”

As Tien called out into the hallway, a servant of similar age named Ralph quickly entered.

“Yes, Lord Tien.”

“What were you doing?”

“I was guarding the hall. Today is my turn to act as the butler.”

“Butler duty? Do you take turns with roles here?”

“Ah, to avoid employing unnecessary servants, the servants take turns performing butler duties.”

Although the question was directed at Tien, Hazen, who was listening nearby, picked out a few glasses and answered instead.

“Then what specifically do you do when you’re performing butler duties?”

“Supervising people coming in to work from outside, greeting guests, sorting letters, things like that?”

“It seems somewhat inadequate for butler duty?”

“The actual butler work is done by Raphael.”

Hazen replied instead, and Tien said to Ralph,

“Lend me your clothes.”

“Would the uniform be okay?”

Ralph seemed unfazed, as if this happened often.

“No, casual clothes would be better.”

At Luella’s suggestion, Ralph hurried out and returned shortly with brown trousers, a shirt, and a short jacket to wear over them.

“Lord Tien just bought me these new clothes, but they are too nice and look new, so I brought the ones I wear often.”

Luella accepted the clothes from Ralph, smiling contentedly.

“You did well. I mustn’t stand out today, so fancy new clothes aren’t necessary.”

After praising Ralph, Luella sent him to finish his work and quickly changed into the outfit in the adjacent dressing room.

“Ah, finally freed from the bloodstained dress. The designer is really coming, right?”

“I wrote a letter as soon as I woke up, even before washing.”

Hazen answered, and Luella could only tilt her head in confusion.

“Where did you send a request that you had to send a letter?”

“Elab.”

“You’re calling a designer from that far away?”

“It’s not that far. By ship, it’s only half a day away. Besides, there’s no one in this country who can make clothes for Miss Luella Rominin. You know that well.”

While it was a realistic point, Luella felt it was hard to call a designer by ship just for one outfit, and her face showed her embarrassment.

“I know that well. But I thought you would find a way somehow. I never dreamed you would bring someone from Elab. Will someone come?”

As Hazen placed a chosen wig on Luella’s head, she answered,

“Her Majesty the Empress’s friend and exclusive designer will probably be happy to travel.”

“The Empress of Elab?”

“Yes.”

“Such a great person is coming all the way here?”

“We have a close relationship. I explained the situation, so she will probably come as soon as possible. Oh, did you know that the Empress is Kite’s younger sister?”

Luella shook her head. It was a completely new story to her.

“No, I couldn’t even guess. I didn’t even know Elab was such a nearby country.”

“Ah! You said you were from another dimension?”

Hazen seemed to momentarily forget and mumbled to herself, and Tien, who was listening to the conversation, spoke anxiously.

“Don’t we have to start with education? She doesn’t know even the basics. At this rate, she’ll be found out as not Luella Rominin very soon.”
“I don’t need a geography lesson since I’m looking at the map right now.”

Luella had minimized the map on the game screen.

As there was no need to look at other regions, this was only the second time she saw the entire area, including a quick glance when she first opened the map.

“Ah, this is Elav. It’s really close to Curan. Are Elav and Hellane connected by land?”

“Yes, right above Curan’s border is the capital of Hellane. It’s fortunate that the Duke of Curan has placed monsters to prevent invasion. If they had thought to attack, they would have been robbed right away.”

Luella, who had been listening, chuckled.

“But it’s strange?”

“What is?”

“If I had those monster legions, I wouldn’t have just swallowed Curan. The capital of Hellane is right above, so I would have advanced and made Hellane mine.”

“You talk like Kite.”

“Everyone thinks it’s strange?”

“Yes, but I don’t know why they don’t do it.”

Luella pondered for a moment before voicing her opinion.

“Maybe the monsters’ control isn’t going as planned.”

“That doesn’t make sense. You’ve seen it, haven’t you? They made their territory along the border as if they were following someone’s command.”
