Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis) novel Chapter 1064

Chapter 1064 Their Thoughts

Bailey sneered. When all is said and done, isn't it just to promote the country's embroidery? Yrinasion and Strassonian embroidery are Chanaea skills that have been passed down for millennia. It is the duty of every citizen to promote and glorify those traditions, including me. However, they really shouldn't have, under any circumstances, considered exploiting my wedding. “Back in the day, Yrina, the head of the Yrinasion embroidery, nurtured many disciples. Among them, her closest disciple, Yrinasion Muse, was renowned for her exquisite needlework. Thus, she was highly sought after by international socialites and noblewomen. This can be seen as showing Chanaea's embroidery to the world. All you need to do is promote it more. There's no need to use my wedding to do this.”

The two middle-aged women exchanged glances. One of them spoke. “You may not be aware, but ever since Yrina passed away, Yrinasion embroidery has been in decline, Ms. Bailey. Yrinasion Muse, who inherited her mantle, also disappeared without a trace three years ago. We can't find her whereabouts. I'm afraid Yrinasion embroidery is going to decline from now on. We can't afford to focus our energy on this anymore.”

Bailey slightly narrowed her eyes. I think I know what they're thinking. They want to abandon Yrinasion embroidery and elevate Strassonian embroidery. As the leader of Yrinasion embroidery has passed away, there's no one left to hold the fort. That has led to a visible decline in Yrinasion embroidery, and that's why they want to leave. These people never stop to consider who has been upholding the art of embroidery over the past few decades, spreading that skill far and wide. They're just a bunch of opportunists, all fawning over the Strasson family, trampling over the Yrina family in accordance with the Strasson family's wishes. Do they really think there's no one left in the Yrina family?

“Are you two suggesting that I have a Strasson tailor create my wedding dress and use my wedding as a platform to promote Strassonian embroidery? Is your goal to replace Yrinasion embroidery with the Strasson family's embroidery on the global stage?” asked Bailey.

The middle-aged woman spoke carefully. “Indeed, that's what we're thinking. However, to avoid criticism, we plan to hold an embroidery competition between the two families. Only the victorious party has the privilege of tailoring your wedding dress. Then, they'll become the recognized standard of embroidery craftsmanship, showcased to the world.”

Bailey slightly lowered her head, falling into silence.

Just a moment ago in the study, Artemis told her that he had invited Yrinasion embroidery's embroiderers over. She had originally planned to have both parties compete to select the best one.

As such, the two middle-aged women's proposal actually coincided perfectly with her plans.

However, she felt uncomfortable that those two women had ulterior motives.

“The Strasson family competing with the Yrina family? Where does your confidence come from that the Strasson family will definitely win? What if the Yrina family ends up winning? What will you do then?” asked Bailey.

The middle-aged woman laughed. “That's not going to happen. The Yrina family is scattered and disorganized. Their embroidery skills have long since become rusty. Unless Yrina is resurrected or her apprentice shows up, the chances of the Yrina family winning are quite slim. If they happen to take the lead by chance, they could turn the tide. However, in the end, isn't it up to you to decide who wins and who loses?”

Bailey sneered in her mind. So, they and the Strasson family plan to use me to win. I really don't know who gave them such great confidence, making them believe that I'll help. Even if I help, I'll only assist the Yrina family because... “It seems you hold Strassonian embroidery in high regard. So, you've decided to have Strassonian embroidery replace Yrinasion embroidery?”

The middle-aged woman offered a placating smile. “The legitimate daughter of the Strasson family has married into the Smith family of South East Aploth. Additionally, the legitimate daughter of the Smith family is soon to become the matriarch of the Hollett family of Golden Triangle. In other words, Strassonian embroidery has aligned itself with several major forces. With their assistance, our embroidery craftsmanship can also gain international recognition. Ms. Jefferson, you are a person with great love in your heart. I presume you wouldn't refuse to do such a good deed for our country and our people.”

Unable to suppress the mockery in her heart, Bailey let out a cold, derisive laugh. Since they want to court death, I suppose I'll play along. As long as I'm around, the international status of Yrinasion embroidery will remain unchanged. I won't let the Strasson family occupy something that belongs to another. “All right then. Since you two speak with such passion and fervor, it's got my blood boiling and my heart surging. Let's proceed according to your wishes, then. In three days, an embroidery competition will be held. The Strasson and Yrina family will each send a representative to participate. Whoever emerges victorious, I will have them sew my wedding dress. When the day of my wedding with Mr. Luther arrives, I will promote the art of Chanaea embroidery at the banquet. As for who will be in the spotlight in the end, it all depends on the outcome of the match. Whoever wins, I'll support them.”
