"Marquise Raban has gone to Tilia Territory. She'll be back today, but she won't be here until dinner, so I'll just have to go before then."

Julietta looked silently at the hands of the two who were deftly cutting the fabric.

"Shall we go out for lunch? You feel probably stuffy because you've been in the costume shop all these days."

"Will the n.o.ble princess go out to eat together with the staff working in the costume shop? No way!" Unlike Sophie who welcomed the chance, Amelie scolded Julietta for her carefree manner.

"Look, there's a wig. I can go out in disguise."

Julietta went to the drawer in the dressing room and took out the wig she had put at the bottom.

Julietta was about to put the familiar red wig on her head, and stopped. Even though Prince Killian had just walked in and out, wearing a red wig might bring a big problem if she came across him. She took off the wig, put it back in the drawer and took out the black wig she had worn from Bertino to Tilia Territory.

She thought she would have a decent disguise. Julietta left the dressing room wearing a veiled hat over a wig.

"How is it? Even though I just changed my hair color, I look like someone else, right?"

"Now that your face is known, shouldn't you be careful? What if there's someone who recognizes you?"

Amelie clicked her tongue in disapproval, but Julietta didn't care.

"Come on, you two get ready, too. We don't know when we'll get another chance like this. As I said before, change into new clothes. Let's go eat at the best restaurant in Dublin."

Amelie and Sophie laughed at her image of letting nagging go in one ear and out the other and pus.h.i.+ng forward as she wanted to make them recall the days when they were in the theater.

So prepared, the three set out for the most famous restaurant in the heart of Eloz Street.

The restaurant had four floors in total had different floors that could be used, depending on status. Entering the first floor available to the common people, Julietta rejoiced when she was guided to a window seat.

"I thought it would be hard to get a window seat because it's lunchtime, but we are lucky."

Amelie and Sophie were curious about the restaurant they had never been to before, so they looked around and whispered, fearing that someone could hear them, "When have you been to this place?"

Julietta replied, looking through the menu brought by the staff.

"It's my first time. I've never been to a place like this. Which do you like better, seafood or meat?"

Sophie was amazed when she saw Julietta who was asking the staff this or that and ordering while saying that she had never been here before.

"There is nothing you can't do. I think you would live well even if you were dropped on an island all alone."

"Clearly she is not an ordinary child."

When Amelie responded, Julietta laughed. She was so happy to a.s.sociate with people who only saw the good things she had.

"It's all the same in the places people live. I ordered her to give us the best food in this restaurant. I think it's best to ask if you don't know."

After finis.h.i.+ng the order safely, Julietta smiled and looked around the inside.

The restaurant was across from the Eileen Theater. It was so densely packed that no one could find a vacancy, as it was used by people who came to the opera or shopped.

"Nicole, long time no see. How have you been?"

Julietta had been waiting for food and was greatly surprised at the voice of a pa.s.sing woman and the familiar name, and looked back. Nicole, the former maid of Bertino mansion on the Harrods Street, was seated at a table a few steps away from their seats, and there was Anna, approaching the table.

"Why? Do you know them?"

Amelie and Sophie looked at Julietta, who was surprised by the unexpected encounter with the two girls who had been ejected from the mansion, and they also looked over them.

"Yes. They used to work together with me when I worked at the Harrods' mansion."

"Oh, well, you never thought of meeting them here, of all people. I'm relieved they won't recognize you, though."

There was no way they could hear each other's conversations because the seats were separated, but Amelie was worried and lowered her voice.

"It's not unusual to meet someone; this is a place where people can afford to make the most of their appointments," Sophie said, taking the food the clerk had just put in front of her.

"You know what? Men don't have to come to restaurants because there are men's clubs all over, but women don't have a place to go. In fact, how difficult is it for ordinary people to eat at a restaurant like this? Usually, a dining hall belongs to an inn, so women can't use it unless they're staying."

Amelie's grumbling stuck in Julietta's ear as she glanced back and forth to Anna's side.

"That's right. When I took a vacation on Harrods Street, I went to the theater to meet Amelie and Sophie. There was no other place to meet outside. I couldn't even afford a restaurant like this."

Julietta began to think quickly.
