"See? I told you Miss Monoroe would I I'm sorry, I thought Did I mishear Miss Monroe?" The smile on Nella's face vanished. "Did you just " Nella smiled. "Did you just say no?"

"Yes, Miss Lux. I am not here to make a dress for Miss Marie. I apologize "

"Miss Monoroe, Marie is going to be "

"Months ago, everyone thought that Miss Dorothy would become the next blessed one. But that did not happen. I believe everyone learned a very hard lesson Ms Nella, please do not let it happen the second time around." Miss Monoroe took a step back and closed the brochure that she was just showing to Rosalind. Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

"Since the future Duchess has already decided on her clothes, I would like to depart now so I can start making the clothes."

Rosalind smiled. Then she got up and bowed at the seamstress. In the society of nobles, having a good and nice dress is akin to having a nice sword. It could open up conversations and it can be used to judge one's status.

It was shallow. But society always believed in appearances and would always judge someone based on saidr appearance. Rosalind watched as Miss Monoroe left without even sparing another glance at the mother and daughter.

"Why would you do that?" Ms Nella scowled at her.

"Huh?" Rosalind finally took some time to look at the older woman. In the past, Ms Nella was not able to make a lot of appearances because Dorothy stole the spotlight back when she announced that she already received the blessing.

Ms Nella, Marie, as well as the other members of the Lux family who were called to participate in the awakening, had to go back to their own estates. When Dorothy married the crown prince, Ms Nella and Marie were there for the ceremony but they left almost immediately.

The last thing thate she had heard was that Marie died during the war and Ms Nella went missing. There were rumors that Marie had been captured by another Empire, but no one was able to prove it since, at that time, Rosalind had already lost her blessing and obviously, Dorothy cannot do anything without Rosalind's blessing.

"Why did you not ask her to make a dress for Marie?" Ms. Nella asked.

"Yes mother," Marie looked defeated. The Marie that she knew was always proud and arrogant, her nose was on the skies. But this Marie looked like she was carrying the world. Rosalind could not help but be curious, but it was none of her business. Right now, all she needed to do was leave this place and she would be able to avoid her horrible fate in the hands of the people that she used to love.

Once the mother and daughter left, she immediately called Milith and told her to put the dresses that Miss Monoroe brought away. Miss Monoroe said that the dresses were all designed for the North and that she could wear them while she was still in the Empire or on her travel to the North. After her arrival, Miss Monoroe is going to give her new sets of dresses that would suit well for the weather in the North.

As for the black dress that she is going to wear during the awakening ceremony, it would be something made of thinner and more comfortable fabric that was perfect for the weather in the Empire.

"It seems that we might have a little problem."

Rosalind's heart almost jumped out of her chest when she heard Huig's voice behind her.

"You " She glared at him. The man really had no presence whatsoever. "Would it kill you to stop doing that?"

"Your sister"

"What?"

"That knight serving your sister asked someone to approach a mercenary group from the slums."

"What did you say?"

"As of ten minutes ago, everyone in that group saw a painting of you their new job."

Rosalind immediately frowned. "What did you just say?"
