The Kingdom Enters the Social Season [Part 1]
“Francesca-sama‘s dress today suits her very well, right, Caitlyn?”
“Francesca-sama‘s dress today suits her very well, indeed, Catherine.”
Francesca and the twins were now at a large-scale evening party held at the royal castle. After exchanging greetings, the twins began praising Francesca’s dress.Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)
The elegant cream-colored dress and the silky delicate lace had accentuated Francesca’s femininity.
“Thank you. Catherine-sama and Caitlyn-sama‘s dresses are also wonderful.”
The twins wore matching dresses with bright emerald green and pale aqua stripes. It was a design that would remind people of the sea upon seeing it.
“All three of you look lovely. See, all the noble sons around are staring at you restlessly, aren’t they?”
Marion winked as she took a few drinks from the waiter and handed them to Fransesca and the twins in her usual ostentatious manner.
“Thank you! Marion-sama is very gorgeous as well, isn’t she, Catherine?”
“Yes, Marion-sama is gorgeous, Caitlyn!”
Marion looked surprisingly good in a wine-red body-hugging dress.
” ” ” “Fufufufufu” ” ” “
The four of them looked at each other and laughed.
“Emma-sama is really amazing. No one would have imagined that these dresses are a remake.”
“Emma-sama has been strange since the first time we met her, after all, Catherine.”
“Now, you two. There is no such... There is, indeed.”
“...Right.”
” ” ” “Fufufu” ” ” “
The four young ladies laughed together softly as they stood there in their beautiful dresses, catching the eyes of everyone at the royal palace’s evening party.
Gentlemen from inside and outside the Kingdom were looking at them from a distance as they were attracted by the obviously different atmosphere they radiated. They seemed very fresh and relaxed compared to other young ladies, who were worn out by the dress preparation day by day and burdened by the pressure of being in a place full of dignitaries from various countries.
“Alright, alright, enough chatting for now. The music has started playing, you know?”
Arthur took his younger sister’s hand. As Marion didn’t have a fiance, he, the older brother, naturally became her escort. The two would really stand out when they danced because of their heights.
“Lady Francesca, would you like to dance?” Prince Edward invited Francesca to dance.
“Y-Your Highness?!”
“I heard from Emma that Lady Francesca is very good at dancing. Emma couldn’t dance because of her body condition, but she told me she would like to see me dancing with Lady Francesca. So let’s practice until Emma... safely returns to the Kingdom.”
“Emma-sama mentioned that about me?! She still remembered what I said in passing in our first class... I will gladly accept, Your Highness! I must make Emma-sama happy.”
Francesca gently put her hand on the Prince’s outstretched hand. The Prince always looked cold, but only when he talked about Emma did his expression soften.
“Let’s dance too, Caitlyn♪”
“Let’s dance too, Catherine♪”
The twins held each other’s hands and followed behind the Bell siblings while the Prince and Francesca moved to the center of the ballroom.
