Even if Cordelia had a spare outfit, she would not be able to get rid of the alcohol scent, and that would definitely be a faux pas in front of the queen.
Victoria worried for Allegra but smirked, triumphant about Cordelia's embarrassing state.
Allegra said with a smile, "Cordelia, you should take care of it in the washroom! You're basically stationed there today, anyway. Another trip should be fine!"
Cordelia froze with a flushed face.
The guard came over to announce that they should get prepared to see the queen.
Someone mocked from the side, "Ms. Irwin, this is a royal event. I think you should attend events like this less in the future lest you make a faux pas and embarrass the Irwins!"
"Right? Someone who grew up outside just isn't the same as us who grew up in Southeast Aciatic."
"I heard that she lived in a basement in Jangasas before she came back to Southeast Aciatic…"
The heiresses whispered among each other, and Allegra looked even more victorious.
Victoria smiled mockingly, waiting for Cordelia's response like she was watching a drama.
Cordelia composed herself. There was a natural commanding air on her. She swept her gaze over everyone and stopped on Allegra.
"It's fine, Ms. Oliver. It's just a dress." She smiled. "But as you said, I have to take care of it in the washroom."
"Hah, then go on! What are you waiting for?"
"You." Cordelia's smile was cryptic.
Allegra paused, clueless as to what the woman was trying to do.
"You spilled the wine on me and dirtied my dress, Ms. Oliver. Shouldn't you accompany me to get changed?"
"Well…"
