Sonia was speechless.
As she turned around, she saw a glamorous girl not much older than her. On her blonde head, there was an eye-catching tiara.
She gaped.
“Vivian, t-that can’t be…”
“Yes, it is Princess Calint’s crown from the 19th century. Well, that’s enough of that. Let’s go in with Lady Adalyn. She still has to change.”
Vivian was not impressed by these priceless jewelry.
Coming from a wealthy family, such luxurious things had always been commonplace in her life. What she wanted to do most was to create designs that were unique and unusual.
When she went into the VIP lounge with Adalyn, she was surprised to see the usually calm and collected lady seemingly flustered.
“Lady Adalyn, are you all right?”
“Vivian, on your way in here, did you notice that every woman was dressed well?” Adalyn said with a disturbed expression.
Vivian was dumbfounded.
Sonia was speechless.
Finally, they realized that Adalyn was upset by these.
The two girls stood there, stunned, not knowing what to do. The dresses and jewelry they brought along today were better than their usual designs, but they compared poorly with those worn by the women they had just seen outside.
“Lady Adalyn, I would like to know what special occasion this is? Why are they dressed so glamorously?” Vivian thought for a while before asking.
Adalyn sat down and sighed. “It’s the birthday of the old Duke of Walken. I thought it was just an ordinary birthday party, but unexpectedly, they have made it so grand and even come to the Exerine Palace to hold it.”
Vivian did not comment on that.
She knew who the old Duke of Walken was. In the country of Yartran, this was the most elderly of all the Dukes. He was highly respected and had contributed greatly to the rulers of the Kingdom.
Because of that, the royal family held him in high regard.
Since this birthday was celebrated on such a grand scale, it could only mean that some representative from the royal family was expected to attend.
Vivian arrived at this conclusion.
“Lady Adalyn, if that is so, I think that you should not try to outdo them. There is a marquis and a duke attending this function. If you are dressed too well, you will bring them to shame.”
“Is that so?”
Adalyn, who was feeling quite worried, looked at the seventeen-year-old in surprise.
She is behaving differently.
Is this the girl who always acts innocently in school? Why is she suddenly showing such intelligence and sharpness of mind? How did she make such an acute analysis?
