The Return of the Female Knight

CHAPTER 91

Elena, worried that Mirabelle was skipping breakfast to work on the wedding dress, put various easy-to-eat meals on a silver platter and headed straight for her room. No matter how important the marriage was, it was not at all as valuable as Mirabelle. Elena knocked on the door, but the sound of the sewing machine continued. Elena called out in a loud voice.

"Mirabelle, come out for a second. ”

Elena heard the sound of footsteps clanging, and after a while the door opened, revealing Mirabelle's smiling face.

"Oh, are you here?"

“You don't have to work so hard that you don't eat. ”

“But this is my sister's wedding, and I want to do my best. ”

Mirabelle's generosity was incredible, but Elena did not want her sister to faint from exhaustion. He held out the silver plate he was carrying.

“Eat a little while you work. ”

"Good . Why don't you go in and take a look? ”

Elena nodded, and entered the room with Mirabelle.

"Are you almost done?"

“Yes, I'm sorry it's too late. When the artist's spirit burned so suddenly, it was like your hand couldn't stop, right? ”

Mirabelle gave an apologetic smile, and Elena returned her own smile. She was grateful to be in Mirabelle's care.

"I hope you'll like it. It's not complete, but look. ”

Mirabelle led Elena with her hands towards the mannequin. When Elena looked at the dress, her eyes widened and she stopped walking.

"Mirabelle, this …"

He could not force himself to speak. Madame Mitchell praised Mirabelle as a genius, but Elena was unaware of that so far. She couldn't help but be amazed by her sister's genius once she saw the dress.

Thats stunning. Gold pattern with finely woven through fabric. Whoever wore it, Elena or not, would instantly become the most beautiful bride. Elena had a different sensation from when she first saw the dress at Madame Mitchell's store. He really felt like he was looking at a work of art.

"…This is amazing . How did you find this? "

Elena looked at the dress in admiration, Mirabelle looked relieved.

"It was just an idea, and Mrs Mitchell's help and experience helped me a lot. It wouldn't be complete without the financial help of brother-in-law either. ”

"Brother-in-law? You mean Caril? ”

When the Prince's name suddenly appeared, Elena turned to Mirabelle with wide eyes. Mirabelle began to explain slowly, looking like a child to be scolded.

“I want to make the dress more luxurious than it already is, so the material price is very high. Did you see how her skirt shone? "

"Yes . ”

"Actually .. it's all diamonds. ”

"What?"

Elena was shocked to hear the truth behind the wedding dress. He knew it was beautiful, but now he could not even imagine the cost. The price cannot be measured, not when the dress is decorated with precious diamonds. If any of them fall to the ground …

Elena touched her hand on her forehead.

"Diamond bride dress …"

“I just imagined it and knew it would be difficult to make it happen, but brother-in-law encouraged me to try it after hearing my story. ”

Elena knew the breadth of Carlisle's fortune, and she knew that it would be difficult for Mirabelle to reject Carlisle's offer. Elena did not expect Carlisle to make such a big investment on himself when the marriage already came without a dowry.

'This guy .. I really can't stop him. '

It's not just about price. Carlisle seemed to care deeply about the marriage. He was touched by his dedication to it, whether he said it was necessary or not. He continued to receive gifts from her one by one, and now it felt overflowing. Even the stone would eventually be split apart by the water droplets, and he couldn't help but feel appreciated by Carlisle.

"… Are you upset?"

Elena smiled in resignation.

“No, I have to thank him. I never thought I would be able to wear such a beautiful wedding dress. ”

"Yes, it will be the wedding of the century forever!"

Elena did not want something so grand, but when she saw the wedding dress, she suddenly felt that those words would be on the lips of the nobles.

“I'll take off the diamond and return it to her after the wedding, so don't worry too much about it. ”

"Yes thank you . ”

He was relieved by Mirabelle's words. Although Carlisle wasn't the type to accept something back, Elena was determined to make him take it this time.

“I'm sorry I got a diamond from brother-in-law without your permission. She asked me to keep it a secret .. and I wanted to make a beautiful wedding dress. I do it because I am selfish. ”

Elena smiled at Mirabelle's apology. The selfishness of her younger sister is in Elena's interest.

"I understand . You've worked so hard, sister. ”

“Yes, congratulations on your wedding. ”

Elena opened her arms and hugged Mirabelle tightly, and the warmth of her sister melted all the trouble in her heart.

Mirabelle then spoke softly.

"I will make you the most beautiful bride in the world tomorrow. ”

"Yes . ”

The tension slowly faded from Elena's body.

The day before the wedding passed quickly.

Elena received skin care at the mansion, and dinner was a meal that was also easy to digest. At night, Elena climbed into bed with Mirabelle. They talked to each other late into the night; maybe it was because they knew they couldn't easily do this anymore. Maybe they know a lot will change tomorrow.

That would be a new beginning.

Elena found herself in a hurry as she opened her eyes on her wedding day.

Starting in the morning, her hair and makeup were styled by an army of experts, and all the family maid servants were mobilized to help her dress from head to toe. Mirabelle, as well as Margaret, who had come to the mansion from afar, kept an eye on Elena. Finally, the preparation is complete.

"Yes God!"

Margaret wasn't the only one stunned. Many of the mouths of the maids and experts opened with surprise as well.

There had never been a more perfect bride, and Elena had a gentle glow about her that did not seem to come from this world. She was already beautiful, but today she was enchanted so brightly that everyone in the room was captivated by her beauty.

“You look amazing, Mrs Blaise. I've been to countless weddings, but I've never seen such a beautiful bride. "

Elena smiled faintly at the luxurious compliment.

"Even if you just say it because it's my wedding, I appreciate the compliment."

Margaret turned to the room, and all the women enthusiastically nodded.

"You're so pretty, madam."

"The best!"

As they all sang their praises, Elena was swept away by a new feeling of shame and happiness. His eyes turned to the young woman who had achieved all this and shouldered more work than any other — Mirabelle. He watched the scene with a satisfied expression.

“This is all because of you, Mirabelle. Thank you." Thank you."

Mirabelle replied with a bright smile and a little embarrassment.

"But you're a beautiful model. No matter how pretty the dress is, it wouldn't look good if it wasn't for you. "

The atmosphere warmed between them, when suddenly there was a rap on the door. Mary was the first one to get to the door.

"Who is this?"

Michael's voice replied in reply.

"The house master is here."

"Oh yeah. A moment."

Mary rushes back and tells Elena that Alphord is waiting outside. Since Elena had already finished dressing for the ceremony, she looked around everyone before speaking.

“Thank you for all your hard work since this morning. My father is here, so please return to your duties. I'll call you if I need help. "

The servants answered in a simultaneous choir.

"Yes, my lady."

Margaret looked at Elena in admiration. Even the most prestigious noble families could not easily declare a hierarchy among their servants. The servants had no reason to be loyal to the hostess.

"Then I'll wait outside. Please let me know when the Count is gone. "

"Yes thank you."

Mirabelle also asked Elena if she wanted to be alone with their father, and when Elena replied firmly, Mirabelle also left.

“I'll go now. See you later, brother. ”

"Yes." Yeah."

When the room was finally empty, Alphord entered. Despite wearing a beautiful suit, she did not change much. The elaborate costume made him more prominent, but he still wore the serious and polite appearance of a middle-aged man.

"Are you ready?"

"Yes, Dad. Don't worry, I'm fully prepared. "

Alphord never asked about Elena's wedding arrangements, and there was no time to talk about the dowry even after it was removed.

For a moment, Alphord looked at his beautiful daughter in silence, then pulled something out of his pocket. Elena looked at him in wonder. In her hand was a red jewelry box, which opened to reveal a pair of delicate pearl earrings. A memory flashed across Elena's head when she saw them.

"Oh, this—"

"Yes, it belongs to your mother. I heard that a bride should have one thing long at her wedding. I kept it for a long time, because it was his desire to give it to you. ”

"Dad…"

Elena carefully picked up the pearl earrings. Alphord looked at Elena with a distant expression before continuing.

“From now on, you will no longer be the daughter of Count Blaise, but the Imperial Crown Princess Ruford. Maybe from this moment onwards, I won't be able to speak to you. "

"…Yes."

"You have to behave in your position. Never embarrass your father's name. ”

A day like today .. she wanted her father to offer her words of warmth, but she already knew her character well. Elena nodded.

"I'll remember it."

She will use her position as crown princess to prevent Count Blaise's death. He doesn't care if he doesn't know that. The most important thing was that he protected his family with his own hands. Alphord did not place such responsibility at first, but he would carry this burden on his shoulders.

Alphord turned around and spoke in a low voice.

"See you at the ceremony."

"Yes, Dad."

The meeting between Count Blaise and his daughter had now ended. When the marriage ended, their relationship would become the crown princess and the head of the fourth order of knights.

Elena, who was now alone, looked at herself calmly in the mirror and carefully wore pearl earrings. In the past, those things were dear to his mother. Elena felt a lump in her throat when she thought about her mother wearing the same earrings.

"If only Mother were alive …"

Elena wishes she could go back in time before her mother's death, and then maybe her mother could give her those earrings. Her mother's memory faded, but Elena still remembered it fondly.

– Len, always follow the path you believe is right.

The words her mother left behind were deeply embedded in Elena's mind, becoming the driving force behind her.

Then, there was the sound of footsteps, and Mirabelle's joyous voice came from outside.

"Can I come in for a second?"

"of course. What the hell is going on?"

Mirabelle opened the door and entered cheerfully.

"Tiara has arrived from the Imperial Palace!"

Tiara was only given at marriage to the royal family or high class nobles. Naturally, as the crown princess, Elena also received one. Immediately after, Margaret returned to the room, her eyes shining.

Then, the imperial envoys wearing white uniforms marched intelligently towards Elena, then lowered their heads deeply.

"Your Majesty the Emperor hopes you will receive this tiara for the wedding."

The crown glittered with innumerable clear gemstones. A courier bent his knees in a graceful moment and held out a tiara towards him.

"I accept it."

The other envoys kneeled before Elena and proclaimed in a loud voice,

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Eternal glory to the Ruford Empire. "

It was the first time Elena had been summoned as "Your Majesty." Elena was surprised by the title, but the other two young women gathered around her were even more amazed.

"Uwaaah—"

After receiving such a welcome from the Imperial Family, Elena once again remembered it was her wedding day. The final preparations are over.
