Villainess Is Changing Her Role To A BroCon-Chapter 197
Laiza then looked towards the back of the room.
There, the dress was placed on a trousseau. It was finally the day to take it out of the wardrobe.
So, I decided to ask Regina to leave because she would get a lot of fluffy hair on the dress.
“That’s a beautiful dress, I’m sure it will look great on the Young Lady.”
“Thank you. I’ve never been to a formal party before, so I must be careful not to embarrass Big Brother.”
Yes, tonight was the celebration of Alexei’s succession to the title of Duke of Yurinova. More than that, it was the big day of the banquet, which he was hosting to introduce me, his beloved sister Ekaterina, to the dukedom for the first time.
It was my first time attending a social event, and it was said that noble daughters usually make their social debut before entering the Magic Academy. However, I have lived a confined life until now.
Most of the attendees at the party had never seen me before. Of course, I had never been associated with any formal parties in my previous life.
I was, after all this time, mildly freaked out. It was a different feeling from entertaining a royal family. Anyway, I had no choice but to be prepared.
Laiza smiled.
“I think it’s best if you go to the celebration with a relaxed attitude, as if it’s natural to make mistakes. Being underestimated can make things easier at times.”
“I appreciate your words of encouragement. So, tonight, all I have to think about is greeting you all next to Big Brother.”
That’s right, next to Big Brother.
That was the key, of course. Anyway, I should just try to be as beautiful as I can. That was all I could think about.
It was a formal party, and I was the partner of Big Brother, the star of the show! What was I supposed to do if I didn’t get into the spirit! It was too much of a treasure for me, but I didn’t hesitate to make use of the family heirloom.
I decided not to think about the participants anymore. Sorry. I have my priorities. I just worked hard to make Big Brother think that I looked beautiful.
It was mainly Mina who did the hard work. A combat maid who could both dress and arrange my hair…Hats off to Mina for her broad skill set.
The feast would begin in the evening.
In this season, the summer sun was still bright, and the twilight was only just beginning to set in.
In Yurinova Castle, at the heart of the northern capital, the servants prepared for the banquet. In the kitchens, the cooks diligently set fire to all the furnaces, and in the gardens, the gardeners quickly lit the lamps.
The tableware and plates were polished and laid out, and the wine was being brought from the wine cellar. Everyone was busy, mindful of the time.
At that time, Alexei, Duke of Yurinova, went to Ekaterina’s room to accompany his sister.
There was a knock at the door of the room.
“Young Lady, are you ready?”
It was the voice of Ivan, my brother’s squire. Mina, my maid, walked over to the door and quickly opened it.
“Everything is ready. Come in.”
Ivan stepped aside and Alexei’s tall figure stepped into the room.
Then he stopped, as if surprised.
Ekaterina smiled at her brother, who stared at her silently with neon blue eyes.
“Big Brother, thank you for picking me up.”
It was as if she were a blooming flower.
