I was in the carriage headed to the Royal Capital again . I probably won’t be taking this road for a while .

The yellow rape blossoms were blooming vividly in the fields . Once the flowers have finished blooming, seeds could be harvested to make rapeseed oil . At the beginning of summer, the new oils are delivered to the Royal Capital .

I grasped a letter with both hands .

d.i.c.k-san, who looked serious and handsome, handed me this letter at the carriage stop .

『This is something that I wrote to guarantee your social position . If something happens and you leave His Highness Ludens’ side, then use this . It won’t work against a n.o.ble, but I think it would be of use to you if you show this to a lower positioned Imperial Guard . I don’t want to approach such a troublesome place like the n.o.ble world, but I want to be of use to the brave Ojou-san who is heading there . Rest a.s.sure, I don’t have any ulterior motives . 』

(Fufu, you say really cool things, don’t you? I really want you to call me by my name, though . )

The carriage will arrive at the Royal Capital in the afternoon .

I will be heading towards His Highness Ludens’ side tomorrow .

What should I do today?

I put the letter I’d received from d.i.c.k-san into my shoulder bag .

I went to the Hen Inn as soon as I arrived at the Royal Capital, because this was the only place I was familiar with .

I wiped the sweat off my forehead, heaved the two black bags that contained everything I owned and walked towards the inn .

I’m so glad that the guards cherished me… When I left, they fought to carry my bags for me .

But, I have to do that myself from now on .

When I got to the Hen Inn, Master was used to seeing me there, so he silently pa.s.sed me the keys to my usual room .

I wrote a letter saying that I’d arrived at the Royal Capital and asked an uncle, who worked at Hen Inn, to deliver it to the Edenbach mansion with a little bit of money .

“Next, is the dress . ”

I wore the usual milk tea dress with the mint coat . I headed towards the clothing store on the main street .

I left the area where a lot of mixed commoners lived near the Hen Inn, and left the area where the Royal Palace and main departments were and headed towards the flas.h.i.+est area of the Royal Capital, the main street .

I left the area where a lot of mixed commoners lived near the Hen Inn, and left the area where the Royal Palace and main departments were and headed towards the flas.h.i.+est area of the Royal Capital, the main street .

I think they’ll provide me with clothes that woman secretaries wear tomorrow .

But, I’ll be working at the Royal Palace under the royal family and the high ranking n.o.bles, so I need dresses other than the one that would be provided to me . I can’t dress in shabby clothes . The only dress I have that would be alright to wear at the Royal Palace is only this milk tea dress .

I don’t need a trendy dress, but I do need a tailor-made one .

I avoided shops with gaudy ornaments hanging in them, and entered a refined-looking shop . My legs froze and I tried to get hyped up before opening the door .

Come to think of it, this is the first time I’m buying a dress…

The dress I want is something like what Ms . Dolcie wore; a composed design, a higher hem so that my ankles could be seen a little . A dress which opened a little at the neck and was easy to move in was good . I want a pretty coloured dress .

“I want you to show me some simple dresses,” I said and the uncle smiled and replied to me politely .

(There’s 5 dresses in front of me, but which one should I chose?)

Hmm, I wonder if I should just choose it like how I would choose vegetables? I went vegetable shopping with mother and Tom before .

So, I just have to look at the texture, elasticity and colour?

So, I just have to look at the texture, elasticity and colour?

When I looked at them closer, all the dresses were ready made so they had little weave and looked l.u.s.trous . The seams also had a pa.s.sing mark as well . It felt good to the touch . The parts which couldn’t be seen were made from more inferior materials, so that must be why it was cheap .

(What is this Ojou-san? People usually just chose dresses by the design . But she’s choosing them so seriously . She’s touching the cloth and looking at the sewing…… Is she from the same trade? I also have to up my game . ) (Uncle)

I don’t know the difference between the cloth and the design, but this might be cheaper than I thought if it’s like this… This shop is amazing! This shop was a purveyor to the Imperial Household, and yet they didn’t have a signboard .

“Ojou-san, how about this one?”

The uncle showed me another 5 dresses, I checked them, and tried on the one he’d recommended and bought it .

He adjusted the size and everything costed about 60,000 G… Now, I only have a small amount of money left in my purse .

The first dress I’d ever chosen and bought would be delivered to Hen Inn .

It was different from the dresses you could wear at an evening party or ball, and even though it was close to a ready-made dress . A dress was a dress .

People who usually bought this kind of dress came to the shop in a carriage with their guards or maids . It was impossible for me to hug the dress while walking through town .

My shopping was done and I walked excitingly around town while feeling accomplished .

My purse was lighter, but it was something that I’d bought with the money I’d made . I was satisfied .

I went to the Commercial Guild and withdrew some money .

I walked a lot and my feet were tired, however I felt like I could still walk . But, I ended up returning to Hen Inn by carriage .

I did withdraw a little bit of money . It was dangerous for a lady to walk alone while they’re dressed elegantly .

That evening, I smiled while feeling the dress that’d arrived in my room . I received word about when Roberto-sama would be coming .

I haven’t had dinner yet . I could only hope that his business finishes soon .

I heard that tonight’s dinner is chicken confit, I’m really looking forward to it .

(I hope that Roberto-sama’s business would be finished soon…)
