Ekaterina’s POV
I’m not sure if it was worth the trouble Camilla and I went through.
My brother, on the other hand, is wearing a knight’s formal attire, which without hesitation, is even more gorgeous than the official attire of a knight.
In the end, I ended up creating two dresses. The week after the meeting, Camilla brought two preliminary sewing patterns. Since we had another event with the knights the day before the visit, we decided to order both dresses, since it would not be good to welcome the royal family in the same dress as the day before. I knew that Camilla was aiming for that.
Both were in the standard A-line shape. The skirt was made less wide, and the hem was pulled back a little. The main color is lapis lazuli, taking full advantage of the beauty of the Heavenly Blue, with blue the color of the spring sky, and summer’s zenith blue used only in some parts of the dress. The only difference between the two dresses was where the color is used and whether the lace was white or black.
The dress I’m wearing today is the white laced one, with the color of summer’s zenith blue peeking out under the lapis lazuli color on the skirt, and the blue of the spring sky on the sleeves and collar. On my hands are white gloves, and a large jeweled brooch on my chest.
The gemstone is something that did not exist in my previous life. It’s called the “rainbow stone”. On the lapis lazuli-colored fabric, it emits a sparkling lightーーit’s really glowing!
It’s not like it’s glowing, but it’s as if a blue light is trapped inside while swirling around. The way it looks, it’s like a rose of blue light is inside the stone.
In fact, the rainbow stone itself is not so rare, and the ones that glow dimly are sometimes used as lights. However, such a beautiful stone is very precious and can be sold for a high price as a genuine gem. This stone, in particular, was highly recommended by Aaron, who said that we would never be able to find anything like this again. It’s a museum class artifact of a gem.
The earrings are a pair of heavy and large sapphires, it is an heirloom passed down from the Yurinova Family…I’m afraid to think how much they would have cost in my previous life. Maybe even reaching a billion. Geez.
The design of the dress was simple, but as expected of a gem of this class, it had an incredible presence. How gorgeous.
…It’s a simple and elegant dress, but it has a miscalculation in which it clearly shows the lines of my body. If I wear this kind of dress with the shameful style of a villainous young lady, I’m sure I’ll be able to get away with it……Even though the dress does not expose my bosom or anything, it does give me a very sexy look, just like Fujiko Mine in a tight-fitting rider suit. I’ve never seen a 15-year-old look so dainty.
(E/N: Fujiko Mine is a fictional character in the manga series Lupin III. She’s a professional criminal, burglar and a trickster.)
Camilla seemed to have calculated those factors in, and so well at it and was thus very happy, “The eyes of the imperial capital are going to be glued on you, young lady!” I’m sure she’s very happy about it.
No, I didn’t ask for that, did I?
Taking my hand as I descended the stairs, Alexei said sincerely.
“You’re beautiful. You look like the Queen of the Night.”
The queen of the night is the goddess of the night, also known as the “spirit of the night”. Unlike the Europe of my previous life, this is a polytheistic empire, and although she is not a major deity, she is considered as one of the most beautiful goddesses.
