Ep 17.

I’m already fell in love

Anything under the name of Ternuegen is possible. Arne fully realized the meaning of what the Marchioness of Giena said. Cassian marked what he had done in the name of Grand Duke Ternuegen.

“[My son-in-law ordered dresses from every boutique in the capital for Arne? Oh, my. What’s going on? My daughter is loved~! What the hell is going on? If you’re choosing a dress, I’m willing to help this mother choose…]

Paw.

The light of the magic ball went out helplessly.

Eva seriously warned, looking at the horribly smashed magic ball in Arne’s hands.

“Arne, will you be able to handle it?”

It was the result of a quick judgment and desperation that my mother should be blocked right now even if there was a backlash. If I didn’t block my mother now, choosing a dress would have been indefinitely longer. Arne shrugged under Eva’s worried gaze.

“Can I survive today?”

Eva replied seriously.

“You’ll survive.”

Arne tried to escape and failed in a second.

~~~

Grace was a very promising designer. It has been half a year since she returned to the Northern Empire after studying abroad in the holy city of fashion in Gothenborg and opened a boutique in the capital, Grumium. She had a great ambition.

‘I’ll dress everyone on this street one day!’

A golden opportunity came for Grace, who had just gained fame step by step with her slow-building skills.

“[I’m going to order a dress from Grand Duchy of Terneugen, so please visit the mansion sometime tomorrow with all the dresses you can bring right away.]”

Those who heard the news were surprised by about two things.

The first was the fact that the Grand Duchy of Ternuegen contacted them and the second was that he asked for an immediate visit tomorrow. When ordering clothes from a typical boutique, it was not even described as being short-lived compared to giving at least a week.

“This fast? What’s the matter?”

“If it was a dress, would it be worn by the Grand Duchess……?”

Most of them complained that no matter how arrogant the Grand Duke of Ternuegen was but Grace had a different opinion.

What is Grand Duke Terneugen like? The most prestigious aristocrat in the empire except for the imperial family. Prince Ternuegen, what else is Cassian like? Among the nobles, he’s called the power of the empire, and he’s the most desirable husband of all the ladies.

He was so popular that she was sure that he made a river out of tears from the ladies’ from the sudden news of his marriage.

An opportunity to connect with the Grand Duke of Ternuegen, called the aristocrat of the nobility. A golden opportunity to knock on the walls of the high public house! You came to the public house without hesitation with such great ambition…..

‘…..what’s this?’

Grace broke into a cold sweat as she entered the room. The huge mansion second only to the castle, skilled users, and shoulders, which did not shrink despite the heavy and stern atmosphere, shrank as soon as they entered the waiting room.

It was bound to be.

‘Why is that person here?’

A woman sitting in the middle of the room and drinking tea gracefully. She was none other than a legendary designer, Skilla who had to book years in advance to get a dress.

She wasn’t the only one.

Designer Cletta, who recently trended a new style in the capital, and Peito, who does not usually work and designs as he pleases when inspiration comes to mind, each took one place. Not a single person like this, not a few people, but a room full of people.

‘This is crazy.’

The best designers in the Empire were all gathered here. Grace was already honored to be here by herself.

A view that can never be made unless it is a name Ternuegen. As Grace shed tears of emotion, the room was enveloped in strange air.

‘There’s another one.’

‘Did you call us again?’

‘What kind of arrogance or confidence is this…..’

The Three Great Designers of the Northern Empire, Skilla, Cletta, and Peito glanced at each other and turned their heads.

‘Skilla, why is she here? An imperial designer who won’t budge at all…..’

‘Cletta’s rising these days. What do you mean you’re flabbergasted by something that’s in fashion?’

‘Why is that designer here? The one with no professional consciousness….’

All the three in an unwelcome manner checked each other without talking. Some even thought it was an unpleasant occasion.

‘If the Grand Duke hadn’t asked for it himself, I wouldn’t have come.’

‘If it weren’t for the Grand Duke I received from, I would have gone a long time ago.’

‘I came here for the money, but I think I came to the wrong place.’

It was a time when everyone’s patience was at rock bottom with cold air.

“Now, Her Majesty the Grand Duchess and the Marchioness of Giena will come.”

At an exquisite moment, the door opened and four people appeared. Marchioness Giena and nanny Eva, as well as Arne, the protagonist of the whole affair.

The world changed as soon as the wavy silver hair shook, the slender, delicate face raised its head and the red eyes that seemed to have embedded rubies looked at everyone.

Yikes. At the same time, the three people who stopped breathing couldn’t blink.

‘Is that the person who will wear the dresses?’

She was beautiful even in a loose clothes. People who create beauty are particularly sensitive to inspiring beauty. The eyes of the designers, who were about to leave this unpleasant place immediately, changed. This was a must-have opportunity.

~~~

Arne in the room felt like a sodmaster. Blazing eyes directed at her.

‘If I stay like this, I’ll be eaten.”

As the crowd gathered, faced with piled-up dresses, the desire to escape to sleep awakened again. A strong hunch that I’ll regret if I don’t run away now! Not to be seen further, Eva grabbed Arne when she slipped back. It was a ghostly timing.

“Where are you going!”

“Let me go, Eva! This is too much.”

“Everyone goes through it at least once.”

“Just because everyone goes through it doesn’t mean you have to go through it.”

“Everyone goes through it.That’s how they grow up.”

“I’m already an adult.”

“You can’t do anything good in life.”

“You don’t have to do anything you don’t like.”

As Eva and Arne struggled with their voices down, Craven who came in late, sided with Eva and blocked the door. Then Marchioness Giena smiled satisfactorily and applauded.

“There’s a lot of people here. I’m so relieved. Our mission is very important.”

Marchioness Giena gave a rough explanation of the situation. This did not happen because the nobles, who are usually about the same size of the Grand Duchess, wear dresses that they ordered months ago.

“You know that in a few days, there’s an imperial party, right? So that our vision is making the Grand Duchess shines the most. Can you do it?”

Tight deadline, difficulty level! It was a serious request, but surprisingly, the designers’ motivation was burning. It was a model that had to be. Legendary designer Skilla was the first to come forward as inspiration pops up just by looking at it like this.

“I’ll just give it to you.”

“Yes?”

“Whatever you like, I’ll just give it to you. Please take it.”

Skilla gives a set, so other designers stormed out of their seats.

“Please picked my dresses!”

“I’d rather give you the money!”

“I’ll give my entire fortune!”

Arne panicked when she suddenly saw the designers competing with each other to wear their clothes. I didn’t invite you to buy clothes, but why do they all just give me clothes?

‘Is giving clothes a hobby?’

That can’t be true, but Arne wasn’t happy with the situation.

It was obvious that the more clothes would only increase the labor of trying them on. There was a sudden competition between designers.

“Where are you going to beat me? Get in line!”

“Oh, what do you mean? Why do I get paid here? It’s all fair.”

“Yes, all decisions are made by Her Majesty the Grand Duchess!”

“Get out of the way! I’ll dedicate my masterpiece to her!”

A sudden mess. Arne sneaked at the nanny.

“Can I go back now?”

“No.”

“………..”

Arne, who just wanted to lie in bed, held her head in agony. How did this happen? Then, Marchioness Giena clapped gracefully.

“Come on, I see your will. But it’s me who decides. And there’s one more person.”

Arne naturally thought that one person was herself. At that time, the Marchioness Giena broke everyone’s expectations and pulled a magic ball out of her arms. And the person connected is…!

“[Hohoho, everyone is so motivated that it’s good to see. I have a hunch that I could choose a very nice dress~]”

Why did my mother come out of there all of a sudden?

“[As expected, Agatha is the only one I can trust!]”

“Ho-ho. What are you talking about something like this? It’s nothing, Rosie.”

Agatha was the name of the Marchioness of Giena and Rosie was the nickname of Duchess Brillcht. They said hello just yesterday and today,the next day, the two became best friends. Arne sobbed, burying her face in one hand.

“Eva, when did the two of them get so close?”

“Yeah. I don’t know either.”

Designers with eyes glistening with madness. Haha the smiling Marchioness Giena and her mother. Arne screamed quietly.

Save me……..Craven, who was watching this scene eagerly, ate a popcorn from one side. It was a funny sight, like honey.

“Cheer up, boss!”

~~~

Preparations for the Imperial Palace party were going well thanks to everyone’s efforts.

“Try it.”

Arne bowed gracefully, slightly in the dress.

Many young people have been educated, but no one has mastered manners so quickly. Marchioness Giena admired the natural greeting, which made her wonder if it was the Northern Empire in the first place. I thought I’d hold on for a few weeks and teach.

“Great, perfect!”

Arne grinned.

I did everything well with my body. This was light compared to wearing and taking off a dress bordering on mental torture. Thsi was a little easier.

There was a satisfactory smile on the lips of the Marchioness of Giena who was watching Arne like that.

So it’s finally the day of the imperial palace party.

Arne woke up from dawn under the direction of Marchioness Giena and prepared for the party all day. And everyone who saw Arne with everyone’s sincere touch was happy with their hearts clasped.

“Wow, I guess I’ve been alive to see this scene.”

“It’s so beautiful.”

“I want to see you forever….”

The designers sobbing at the masterpieces they’ve created, and the maids looking at them. Arne doubted whether she was that much. Aren’t they all acting?

“This is enough for the Cassians to fall in love again.”

Marchioness Giena said who had not been able to speak for a while.

Arne wondered what that was about. Cassian had never been inlove for her in the first place.

‘Well, I’m suddenly feeling a little down.’

I don’t know why I feel bad, but I feel a little bad anyway. Still, everyone praised me, so my effort was worth it.

“Now, let’s show the Grand Duke!”

Erika, more excited than ever, led Arne. Standing at the door, Arne felt herself nervous and wondered.

‘Why am I nervous?’

I knew there was someone outside that door, but I’ve never pretended to feel this big.

Without realizing it, I’m nervous. And when the door opened, Arne bit her lips unconsciously.

The blue eyes darkened in an instant. As soon as Cassian’s eyes gazed down at Arne’s body.

For some reason, Arne was ashamed somehow.

The hair that was usually left to flow was turned up gracefully, and the cheeks with light makeup were more red than usual. And when I dressed up in a dress like this. I felt like a completely different person.

The dresses made by the three designers representing the Northern Empire, unlike countless designers, were incredibly delicate and beautiful in a short time. But rather than the dress that was made, the owner of the dress was more eye-catching.

“What do you say, Cassian? Isn’t it beautiful? Don’t you think you’ll fall in love again with her?”

I was awakened by the excitement of the Marchioness Giena. Cassian reached out to Arne, hiding his desire to see her continuously.

Cassian’s eyes suddenly darkened as soon as the small hands overlapped on his hands.

“Your godmother is saying something interesting.”

Cassian, who pulled Arne’s hand and kissed it looked up at Arne.

“I already fell in love with her since a long time ago.”
