Chapter 84: Mercenaries 2

Rosalind stared at the array of different dresses in front of her. She blinked.

Then she turned towards the strict-looking lady standing not far away from her.

"The dresses "

"His grace wanted the future duchess to dress according to the occasion. The Awakening event is a big matter, not just to the Empire, but to the seven other empires. His grace wanted the best fabric and style for the duchess of the North." The woman wearing a black suit smiled as she approached Rosalind. Then she handed her a brochure full of paintings of different dresses.

"Please check which jewelry you are going to wear for the event. After choosing the style of dress and type of fabric that you want, we will custom make it especially for you."

"Miss Monoroe, I think this is a bit overboard," Rosalind uttered. She just woke up to find more than ten dresses in her small room. Miss Monoroe, one of the best seamstresses in the Empire, told her to check the catalog for the rest of the dresses as they would no longer fit the room.

Apparently, Miss Monoroe had been sending letters to the Marchioness. It was an invitation for Rosalind to visit the shop and get arrangements for her very own dress for the awakening ceremony. However, the marchioness did not send any response.

So, Miss Monoroe was forced to use her seal as someone from the Northern Kingdom to enter this place and get her measurements. nove(l)bi(n.)com

"Overboard? This is what the duchess of the North deserved. Here Why don't you wear this black dress? It will perfectly match your black hair and the Duke loved to wear black. This is going to be a statement of you becoming one with the North."

One with the North.

The sentence lingered inside her head for a few seconds.

"I am not good with clothes, Miss Monoroe, but if you say that black is a color that would suit me then please by all means."

The woman looked at her with surprise.

Rosalind nodded.

"Cousin?"

Rosalind and Miss Monoroe looked at the door where the beautiful Marie Lux stood. Next to her was another woman with stark white hair, Nella Lux Marie's mother.

"Rosalind," Nella walked in and greeted Rosalind. "I apologized for the unannounced visit, but we heard that Miss Monoroe was here to take your measurements." Without even waiting for Rosalind to say a word, Nella Lux was already holding Miss Monoroe's hand.

"Miss Monoroe, It is a pleasure to meet you. I have been a fan of your dresses for years. In fact, the dress that I am wearing "

"Was something that I made two years ago," Miss Monoroe responded cordially. "I remember everything that I have personally made."

Nella beamed, her eyes sparkling with joy "Yes, I was lucky enough to have met Miss Monoroe all those years ago. It was such an honor to wear one of Miss Monoroe's dresses."

"You are praising me too much Miss Lux," Miss Monoroe uttered. In this world, a married woman who came from a prestigious family had two options.

First, they have the option to retain their last names and even ask their husband to take the woman's last name.

The second option is for them to use both last names. However, many people who belonged to the Lux Family chose to use the Lux last name instead. After all, becoming a member of such a prestigious family was an honor.

But this was not the case when Rosalind married Jeames in their past life. She actually chose to use both of the last names as she did not want to hurt her very own husband. What a silly thought.

"Ah, mother this one I like it!" Marie's voice interrupted the reunion between Miss Monoroe and Nella Lux. "I want this dress for the blessing."

"Well then Miss Monoroe did not come here for you, Marie. If you want that dress, you must personally ask her to make it for you. Where are your manners?" Nella Lux smiled at Miss Monoroe. Then she batted her eyes and waited.

But even before Marie could utter a single word, Miss Monoroe already said, "My apologies, but I did not come here to make a dress for the young miss."
