How to Become a Person in a Novel World

Chapter 014: Boutique Madam Eline (Zamrud)

“Thank you for the banquet, Princess,” I said respectfully. After having breakfast together, we immediately left White Melati Palace. Actually, Princess Diamond I took us for a walk around the capital all day. However, I rejected her gently as Lily kept urging me to leave since this morning. She said she was ashamed to meet Princess Diamond I and Lady Muthia because of her attitude this morning.

I'm also thankful for the truth. On a walk with Lady Muthia this morning I almost misspoke. Who would have thought that Lady Muthia would be that kind? I had to lie to avoid her suspicion.

Em ... wasn't entirely lying anyway. The princess I mean is myself. In fact, I did help the Hilton– Family - which no one actually has– - to be as good as it is now.

“So, where are we going today?” I asked Lily. It's a pity that we went straight back to the dormitory. This free holiday will be better if we use it for outings.

“We go to the city center only,” replied Lily who still seems to have not risen up the spirit, “I would like to meet the princess and other lady. As expected, I am indeed not suitable for ascending to the upper class. I'll just be a figurine there.”

“Lily, don't despair just like that,” I can't just let it go. He was an important variable that was useful for solidifying my disguise. I'd be hard-pressed if he suddenly left the social fray. “Again, Lady Muthia and Princess Diamond I had no problem with it at all. You just need a little more habituation.”

“But ...,” Lily sad face. She is a very unstable girl, easily affected by the situation around her. The thing is, she is a girl who tends to give up easily.

“Quiet!” entertain me after giving instructions to the coachman to leave for the center of the capital. It's easy to change variables like Lily. However, I was not that cold girl until I could just leave my first friend.

“How about we stop by the boutique first?” askaku made an offer. Incidentally, there was a place I wanted to visit in the center of the capital. It was the intelligence command headquarters I led myself.

“You know the boutique in the city center?” lily asked doubtfully. Hais .. she underestimated me just because my label was a baron princess. If I told him my true identity, he would be shocked.

“Of course, I'm the daughter of the merchant,” I replied confidently, “I have one two connections here.”

“What's that turn?” Lily still looks doubtful, but tries to believe.

“Butik Madam Eline,” saysku lightly.

“Hah? What boutique?” ask Lily again.

“Madam Eline,” I answered him again lightly, “Ibuku has a good relationship with him. So, we can definitely get in there easily.”

“You're serious?” Lily still doubted me, that “Madam Eline, right?”

“Iya,” I nodded with a beaming face, showing my seriousness, “Look at me later if you don't believe.”

“...” Lily was silent.

I didn't lie when I said that my mother had a good relationship with Madam Eline who was famous in Diamond Kingdom. When the Emerald Kingdom and Diamond Kingdom agreed to trade cooperation, my mother found the young Madam Eline Salon. Seeing his potential, my mother helped him so Madam Eline was very grateful to us.

I have also been to his place in the Northern Territory since childhood. Madam Eline was already like a real aunt who was very close to me. She was also the one who dressed up my new appearance in the early episode.

“Welcome, Miss,” welcome a young girl when we get to Madam Eline Boutique. He looked at us from top to bottom. After I showed him a business card, he immediately looked down politely at me and let me back for a moment.

“Please rest first here,” the girl said before leaving, “I will be back soon.”

“Rosy,” call Lily with her skeptical face that has not worn off as well, “What is it?”

“What?” I said back to asking.

“Card earlier,” Lily clarified her question, “What card is it?”

“Name card,” I replied briefly with a smile on the face. Shortly after, a middle-aged woman came down to meet us. He showed great courtesy to me and Lily.

“Welcome, Miss Hilton,” welcome the woman politely. He is the director of the Madam Eline Boutique in the capital. We are not familiar. However, she had already seen my appearance as Rubia vi Emerald three months ago.

“For a long time no see, Madam Anne,” I am happy to meet her. She is a beautiful and humble woman. “It's a pleasure to meet you here.”

“I did too,” Madam Anne returned my smile with the same smile, “Nona's presence is happiness for me.”

“Madam, this is my friend,” I said introducing Lily, “Name Lilianne Orchid. She's very kind and beautiful. Isn't she suitable to be your latest design model?”

I gave a little code to Madam Anne. The woman understood immediately what I meant. He immediately asks his servants to take Lily to the dressing room, while Lily herself still does not understand what happened to him.

“Let's follow me, Miss,” take Madam Anne as soon as Lily leaves. We went up to the fourth floor. There was a large room, but it was closed. The walls and ceiling coverings are made from special so that they can withstand sounds from outside and inside.

“Let me repeat my welcome,” said Madam Anne after we both entered the room. He also menjura and tuking a little skirt dress with his left hand, while his right hand is put to the chest, then said, “Welcome, Princess Rubia. It's an honor to meet you back.”

“Let's just skip the formal session, Madam,” I reply with a regular small nod, “We must be careful while still in Diamond Kingdom. Just call me Rosica Hilton as specified.”

“I understand,” Madam Anne nodded in understanding. Madam Anne is not a citizen of the Diamond Kingdom. My mother sent him here to help us keep an eye on every political movement in the kingdom. She has lived here for many years, even having a husband from the capital.

“Alright, report the last investigation the scouts got!” tehatku later. Madam Anne immediately gave the files that were kept well in the room. There was a lot of information that I got regarding the political conditions that took place in the capital before I entered the academy. I asked you something we are most aware of, “How has been the movement of ‘Light Lion’ lately?”

Young Lion. That's the code we gave to the successors of the Diamond Kingdom that could potentially disrupt the balance of the continent, especially the Emerald Kingdom. We've been getting news about him since a year ago.

“Nothing special,” reports Madam Anne while sorting the sheets of paper on the table, “Young Lion moves passively as usual. The intensity of the presence in the Magic Tower did not increase nor decrease. He always comes at the brightest full moon.”

“Hm,” I read the document Madam Anne gave me, “Have you guys not found a way to know the activities she did in Magic Tower?”

“Sorry, Miss,” Madam Anne bowed in, “We still can't confirm. The Magic Tower puts a strong veil on the surrounding region every full moon rises.”

If only we had not detected the Young Lion's interaction with the Magic Tower, we would have ignored it. We are not willing to interfere with the succession affairs of the Diamond Kingdom. Merely, we have a bad history with the Magic Tower. That's why we can't just let it go.

“I understand,” I returned the document after I finished reading it, “It was not an easy thing. Those witches were not simple existences either. Be careful in moving. Everything will be difficult if until the Diamond Kingdom knows our movements.”

“We must be careful, Miss,” Madam Anne promised, “This operation is very concerned with the stability of the continent.”

“It's time we came back,” I also tidied the scattered paper on the table, “Let's go downstairs before Lily feels saturated.”

“Just relax, Miss,” Madam Anne revealed a smile knot, “That girl will not get bored at all.”

When we got to the ground floor, I saw Lily looking in the mirror. She twirled her body, enjoying how beautiful the dress she was wearing was. She was already naturally beautiful, but it became even more beautiful after the boutique clerks dressed her.

“Wah, Miss is perfect with the dress,” praise Madam Anne happy. I agree with him. The pink dress that Lily was wearing right now did fit her.

“Ah–! Madam!?” Lily immediately stopped and lowered her head. She was embarrassed to get the compliment. “I'm so happy here. But ... sorry. All these dresses are too expensive for me. I can't possibly buy it.”

“Oh, that's not a problem, Miss Orchid,” Madam Anne looked at Lily from top to bottom, then showed a satisfied face, “I'm the one who should thank you for wanting to be our model. So I got a new inspiration after seeing your match with the dress. You can take the dress for free. Think of it as our gratitude for your participation.”

“...”

Lily was speechless for a moment. She glanced at me for a while before asking to make sure, “Can I really get this beautiful dress?”

“Sure, Miss,” firmly Anne confirmed it, “Please accept our simple gift dress.”

“How about, Miss Hilton?” one of the boutique waiters asked, “We have a dress that matches his hairstyle.”

“True, true,” other sahut.

“Hm, then, Miss,” Madam Anne looks at me with a nosy grin on her face. I also felt the creeps for a moment. My premonition got worse so decided to leave soon, “Madam–”

“Let's follow us,” Madam Anne pushed me without giving me a chance to say a word. Lily even took a look at it. The girl's feeling had improved by now, whereas I could only sigh slowly. Honestly, I'm not a girl who dresses up for a long time.
