Chapter 109: Chapter 109 – Menswear

Sitting in the glass dome garden, Feng wrapped the beautiful blue roses into a small garland. Elle, who was sitting opposite her, was struggling very much, trying to wrap a vine with her slippery hands.

“let me.” she took it from her and helped wrap the vines together more sturdily.

“I’m scared....” Elle whispered, laying her head on the table. “Aren’t you?”

“terrified actually. I don’t remember half of what we learned.” Feng handed her garland back. “but I believe we will do well. Your brother tutored us, of course. We can’t fail him,”

She finally tied the vines together with a small ribbon. Her eyes wandered over to the slightly foggy garden.

The winter has passed.. they and spend six months here in this house.

Lady Hiliana’s residence was close by still and a lot of renovations going o so she conveniently decided to stay with her sister.

.....

Feng was more than happy, too. She wanted to make sure the twins got along with lady Perlin and duke Lineti.

To her surprise, they both got along with them very well. There was a very comforting aura around the newly formed family.

Even little Ethan revealed a gummy smile now and the when lady Perlin kissed his cheeks.

‘I call it love....’ she glanced at the two kids who were slightly taller playing ball with the duke. The taller, strict man seemed to have reverted back to his childlike self as he ran around with the ball in hand.

Ethan and Aiden raced after him as fast as their small legs can take them.

“I’m finally relieved.” She whispered unknowingly.

“why?” Elle glanced behind her at the boys. “Duke Lineti seems strict, but he is a kind man. Were you scared they both won’t get along with him?”

“hmm..” she did not explain further.

As a person who had heard the storyline of the game, she knew that Duke Lineti Parlov was a very powerful backer of Clarina. He was a heartless man who would kill anyone who brought tears to her eyes.

‘more like a watchdog that will bite anyone who crossed Clarina... wonder what will happen now?’

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Right after settling in, lady Hiliana got to know of Clarina’s betrayal at the ship. She was enraged, to say the least. She and lady Perlin sent out a huge force trying to find out who the accused girl was.

It’s been six months since then, but they got no words of the heroin.

‘she is most likely finding another strong character that will be her backer.. or maybe charming another guy....’ she fiddled with the rose petal making them bloom wide. ‘but she seemed different, unlike the actual script. It’s very weird..’

“there you are. Girls, it’s time. We have to leave in about three hours. We don’t have time to get ready,” lady Perlin hurriedly ushered them into the corridors.

“but duchess we have three hours!”

“not enough time,” she said with a bright smile. “today is the first day you are going to meet your potential teachers so you need to make a good first impression.”

Feng and Elle were both sent to their rooms to get ready for school.

‘school..... It feels so weird. A thirty-five-year-old going to school.’ she shook her head with a small smile. ‘at least it’s not a boring school. we shall learn magic.’ She thought, mentally cheering herself up.

“young lady.. I shall start with your hair,” Lana softly whispered.

“oh wait,” she leaned back on the chair and closed her eyes. “wake me up when it’s ready,”

Makeup time was sleep time. Because it took HOURS to get ready. She did not want to waste precious time on them, but since she was a lady now, she had to look the part.

After what seemed like eternity Lana softly whispered, “we are done... all we need is your necklace.’

“Lana, I’m going to school, not a ball,”

“no-no, you need to look presentable, lady. You are from the prestigious Rofles family. Many young ladies will look up to you.” she held up two. One was a huge choker with blue crystal, and one was a simple chain with a huge blue diamond pendant.

“this one,” she took the pendant. It actually went well with her frilly, wide-collared bodice.

The small ribbons were tied all over the side of her skirt, matching the blue diamond beautifully.

Feng Mei sighed. “done yet?”

“Done. I’ve never seen a lady so fed up about dress up. usually, they love it. I’ve seen young maiden’s eyes sparkle when they look at beautiful dresses and jewellery,”

“well, I prefer pants,”

Lana gasped in horror.

“pants are for men,”

Feng paused.... “so girls don’t wear pants?”

“no! my lady.”

Fem smiled widely. “you said something about trendsetting right?”

Lana knew this look. it was a look of mischief she had seen in her young brother’s eyes before he stole the cookie. “miss.....”

An hour later, she sat down biting her lips anxiously.

“calm down Lana, this looks wonderful,” Feng tried cheering up her maid, but she seemed too sad looking at the beautiful dress that was thrown carelessly on the sofa. “I’ll wear that next time, maybe. This is good for today.”

The suit she wore was borrowed from Alvin, so it was slightly loose. Poor Lana shed tears of sadness as she altered it for her.

The pants were brilliant blue with a stripe of red on the sides.

She pulled her hair up in a high ponytail and tied a single red ribbing to match her look. “They, all done. Let’s go,”

For the first time, she enthusiastically ran through the corridor. Lady Hiliana and lady Perlin were seen walking ahead dressed in their elaborate dresses.

“lady!” she shouted, running up to her.

“oh my.... that is something else...” lady Hiliana adjusted Feng’s collar.

“didn’t you like the dress I prepared? Oh, I should have gotten another one,” lady Perlin sadly whispered.

“no-no, I want to wear this because it’s comfortable.”

They both just gave her a look.

“No seriously, it’s very comfortable,”

Lad Hiliana shook her head with a helpless smile. “if looking like a boy is what you desire, do so as you wish, my dear. I won’t be coming with you all. My sister will take care of all formalities...”

“Why not?’ Feng held her wrinkled hands.

“It’s a rough journey... I always tend to get sick riding carriages.” She whispered ever so softly.

“Oh don’t worry then, we will behave ourselves.”

“Have fun too,” lady Hiliana pecked her nose.

“Yes~”
