Chapter: 199

The four maids bowed their heads politely to Astelle.

“Lady, I have been ordered to serve you.”

“Yes. Please take care of me.”

‘I need some maids though.’

“First of all, put these things in order.”

Astelle pointed to the boxes in a row.

On the other side, Theor ran to the place where Astelle was.

“Aunt Astelle!”

Theor asked Astelle as he wandered among the boxes, “Aunt Astelle, what is this?”

“It is a gift from His Majesty,” Astelle answered in a dry voice.

And she asked Hannah, who followed her.

“Hannah, choose a dress for the ball and prepare it for me.”

“Yes, Lady Astelle.”

All the dresses received as gifts were common-sized dresses.

It didn’t fit Astelle’s body, so if she wanted to wear it to the ball, she had to try it on, measure it, and then mend it again.

Theor ran through the boxes, looked around, and ran to Astelle.

“Does His Majesty likes you, Aunt?”

“Yes?”

Astelle was surprised as she watched the maids arrange the gift boxes.

“Theor, what do you mean?”

“Doesn’t a gentleman send a present to the lady he likes?”

Where else did you hear this?

‘I don’t think it’s from a children’s book. Is it from my grandfather’s etiquette learning?’

Astelle laughed bitterly at Theory’s naive question.

“It’s not like that. I have to attend the ball, but I don’t have a dress, so His Majesty sent it to me.”
