Merria analyzed Karinaâs words, recalling her old social conversation skills.
It would be nice to meet you, and it would be nice to talk to you.
âItâs amazing to see the Princess Rackester, whom I heard only through rumors. What was she like?â
For Karina, who was the center of society, it was only natural to wonder about the âdark princessâ Merria.
Merria was also unfamiliar with her when she faced Karina, who had taken over the social world instead of her.
In the original, Karina didnât even appear at all.
I heard from Lilith that she wasnât so blinded by love and that she wasnât the type to do anything stupidâŚ
âBecause you donât know about people.â
If Karina later walked in the villainâs path, Merria was obliged to stop her from doing evil stuff.
Merria was confident that Karina, who should probably have lived in peace, was involved in the Imperial family, and made an unlikely relationship with Shannon.
âItâs better to make friends like this than to approach them out of the blue later on, right?â
Merria nodded her head and smiled broadly.
âOkay. Could you wait a minute? Itâll be over. I just need to check the fitting of the dress.â
âOh. Are you already finished with the fitting?â
When I brought up the dress story, Karinaâs eyes, which were originally big, became more rounded.
Looking at her reaction, it seemed that she was very curious about my dress.
However, it was common to show her dress in close proximity, but Karina, who she had never met before, seemed to be disappointed that she could not ask her to show it recklessly.
âWould you like to join me if you donât mind?â
As soon as Merria spoke to her, a smile broke out on Karinaâs face.
It was very beautiful to see her smiling with her eyes folded.
Karina, who had walked with me sideways, once again expressed her gratitude.
âThank you very much for allowing me even if itâs our first time meeting each other.â
âItâs not a difficult thing to do.â
âI know best that young ladies are sensitive to dresses. There werenât a couple of young ladies trying to steal the design of the dress I was going to wear.â
Karina laughed with a smirk on the corner of her mouth.
Merria couldnât understand why she was doing such a meaningless thing even if she wore the same clothes anyway, she would only be compared to Karina.
Karina nodded her head as her thoughts about Merria were revealed with her expression.
âI donât understand either. I donât think the clothes that were made for me would go well with them anyway. Why do they have to do that? Oh, I was just saying that Iâm not that cowardly person.ââ
Merria went into the room side by side with Karina, who smiled brightly after their brief conversation.
Karina did not head to the sofa, but continued to talk beside Merria.
âBecause Miolo told me that she was working hard on a Ladyâs dress with great care. Seeing that she was very elaborate, I was so curious that I couldnât stop following you. Iâm very interested in this dress she made.ââ
âI think itâs nice to be able to hear Lady Karinaâs opinion. Youâre the one who leads the social world.â
Meria said, offering Karina a seat first.
Even Lilith, who was stingy with her compliments in this regard, gave a generous appreciation of Karinaâs dress.
Merria thought it was just a good opportunity to listen to Karina.
Miolo, who was listening to the conversation between the two, said, laughing embarrassingly.
âI was so excited to talk about this and that because Lady Karina and I have the same taste⌠Iâm sorry, Merria.â
Miolo looked embarrassed because the two of them were caught talking about Merria.
âWhy was she embarrassed about it, wouldnât that be about the dress?â
Merria, who was tired of thinking, shrugged.
âRather, I started to look forward to it. Could you try it on right away?â
âOf course, Iâll show you around.â
Miolo called an employee who was waiting next to her.
The conversation between the three never ceased while Merria changed her dress with the help of an employee.
âYou two have known each other for a long time, havenât you?â
Merria asked Miolo and Karina, who talked intimately.
âItâs been quite a while. About four or five years ago?â
âWhen I first met Karina, I was worried if I had done anything wrong.â
Miolo nodded and shook at Karinaâs answer.
Looking at Miolo, Karina burst into laughter.
âYes, okay. Itâs my fault for not being able to measure Mioloâs passion as much as her nails who used to make dresses in the dressing room without customers.â
A few years ago, Karina, who was making a name for herself in the society, was fed up with her clichĂŠ-designed dresses, and increasingly began to pay attention to the creation of her own dresses.
She then met with Miolo, who runs a small dressing room.
âAlready famous designers have high pride and they hate others touching their work. However, it seems decent to conciliate with money. So I went all the way to Miolo, who was behind the line of designers.â
Karina looked for a designer to realize her ideal, and Miolo needed the opportunity to make her name known to the nobility.
âThe reason that my relationship with Lady Karina has continued to this day was due to our good match of taste. Everytime Lady Karina said what she wanted, I could think of many ideas and design new dresses for her.â
Realizing that they exactly needed each other, the two of them immediately joined hands.
Karina wore a dress made by Miolo to a social gathering, and the dress garnered so much attention, allowing Miolo to become a prominent designer in the capital.
The staff told Merria that her âtry-on dressâ was finished.
âItâs the first time youâll be seen wearing it? Itâs an honor for me.â
Karina, who heard that Merriaâs try-on was over, spoke in a reminiscent voice.
Standing still in the hidden curtains, Merria felt like an aspiring model for no reason.
Miolo was also a bit nervous and held both of her hands tightly.
