The next morning, the maid, Eliza, brought Martha the dress she was going to wear to attend the palace banquet.
The dress was completely different from the ones Martha had worn in her home country. The skirt was adorned with lace pleats and embedded with white diamonds, making it look luxurious and elegant.
In addition, the waist of the dress was cinched in and the top half wasn't a regular strapless design but rather a V-neck style.
When Martha saw the dress for the first time, her eyes were filled with shock.
She never expected that so many exaggerated designs could be combined together so perfectly without any hint of discordance. It highlighted Z Country's exotic charm flawlessly.
When Eliza arrived, Martha was still stunned by the dress. Seeing her expression, Eliza smiled lightly and asked if she had never seen such a dress before.
Martha nodded, still unable to hide her shock.
"I didn't expect so many exaggerated designs to be combined so perfectly."
"Quickly change into it," urged Eliza softly when she noticed that time was running out.
This dress was custom-made by Lady Eve as early as when she found Martha.
The dress was made according to Martha's stature, in order to make her appear gorgeously at today's palace banquet.
Soon Martha changed into a dress and came out of the changing room.
"The dress fits me well."
Martha said softly as there were traces of admiration in her eyes when admiring herself in front of mirror after changing clothes earlier on; She didn't expect herself to look this good wearing this gown!
The small diamonds inlaid on the dress could reflect a little bit of light under the lamplight as long as she turned around slightly.
After Eliza heard this, she smiled, "This is Lady Eve's custom-made dress for you, and it is all made according to your figure."
"Auntie is too kind."
Martha said with a smile, and obediently sat down on the chair of the dressing table.
She knew well that attending such an important event meant not only having exquisite attire but also having one's hair done properly too!
After seeing her actions, Eliza pursed her lips unconsciously, and waved her hand to signal the hair stylist who had been waiting in the room to quickly do Martha's styling.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and by the time Martha opened her eyes, she had changed her hairstyle.
Her hair was dyed golden yellow and slightly curled by the hair stylist, making her more noble and elegant now.
Martha saw herself in the mirror, her cheeks flushed slightly.
It was the first time for her to wear the dress here, and now though her hair had changed, she was not sure if it would be too exaggerating to attend a banquet like this.
Eliza, who was dressing up Martha at this time, immediately saw the embarrassment in her eyes, and comforted her softly.
"The palace banquet is a banquet held by the royal family. It is very grand, so the Lucas family must attach great importance to such a banquet."
