CHAPTER 16 COMEBACK

~YURIANNA~

"Yurianna, you're reading again?"

I closed the book and faced Triana. "Yes, this was my mother's Diary, It helps me to remember her once in a while."

The thing is this book contains important notes and stories about my mother.

Yurianna lost her memories when she was a child and she vaguely remembers it since the accident.

I can feel that my heart... No the real Yurianna's heart that she misses her mother very much.

Yurianna became a villainess because her mother left in this world too early and she didn't really feel the love in the Hazzlet Duchy.

The Duke didn't neglect her but he didn't have enough time to watch over her when the Duchess passed away.

Triana's face seems so apologetic, for some reasons I don't want to see her pretty face in that side so I slightly changed the topic.

"So how was Altair lately?" It's been a week since I got here.

She clasp her hand in delight. "Oh so that was his name, Mister Altair is doing quite well and his bruises and broken bones has been fixed. I thought that he will further require some treatment but he heals faster than ever so he's good to go."

"I see, thank you for taking great care of him "

"No need to be so formal. He saved you from that night so this much is enough."

I remembered that I sent a letter addressed to my father that I will be staying to this estate for a week and will come back as I set the matter in here.

Dear Father,

Im safe, no need to look for me. Im in my mothers estate and I'll deal with something in here. Don't bother me for the time being and when I come back please prepare a room for someone who my life were indebted too.

Love

Daughter.

This was my letter. Accurate and precise...? I forgot to tell him when exactly I will be back.

"Is there any reply to the letter I sent? Im surprised that Father didn't reply."

She rolled her eyes, "Oh that, Your father insisted that you must return to the capital in the following days..." she smiled awkwardly and divert her eyes at me. "I accidentally teared the paper and forgot about it. Now that you mentioned it I kinda remember it now."

"And when was that? and what was the content of the letter?" I know that Triana is hiding something considering that my Father the duke is overprotective to me and based on her tone and to the diary I'm reading she didn't really like the Duke from the start.

"Vaguely, three days before this day, and the content is there's a Royal ball that all of the nobles and aristocrats must attend to. In addition, The King will announce the future Crown Princess for the Crown Prince. Exactly a week from now."

"Say what!?"

"A royal ball?"

"No, the Crown Princess announcement! " this is the Royal Ball that everyone is attending and The King will announce that me Yurianna, will be the Crown Princess and the Future Queen.

But the Prince will meet Eliria in a certain time before the first dance.

Knowing that she can use light magic he will take interest and advantages on her and hand her his First dance.

Giving Yurianna a bad reputation from the high society.

'A villainess princess that lets her prince get taken away by the counts daughter. '

It's my very first deathflag.

Considering that I didn't bother Eliria for the past weeks and I even defended and protected her in my ways means that I'm safe from that cold hearted prince killing me in the future.

But if the Prince did fall inlove with her means that my reputation will crumble in the High society.

I chose the latter one. I just can renounce the Crown Princess position and I want to live my life the way I want to somewhere far from the Capital and gave Eliria the Title if she wants to marry that bastard. Fudge the reputation.

The Drizlea is fine as my home so I'm gonna settle to this estate when I finally freed myself from the deathflags in the Society. (already thinking of the life living off her mothers estate.)

"If you want to attend the Royal Ball I will summon the exclusive designers all around the Capital."

"It was the opposite of your suggestion, Truthfully I don't want to enter the palace."

She laughed. "Then don't." She sipped the tea.

"It was an invitation by the King so everyone must attend right?"

"Yurianna my cousin, We're Drizlea's and It's enough to burn that invitation if we don't want to go."

'Oh yes, the power of my mother side is the best.' No wonder the Prince wants it.

I sighed. But there are some things I need to do . "If ever, do you know a place in the palace where a person can hide herself in the crowd?" I don't want to shine in the Ball.

"In that aspect. Aize!"

Aize my younger cousin showed up behind my back and I didn't notice it and I nearly fell off from my seat.

"I see, Hi there my beautiful cousin, Well then In the second floor of the palace there's a veranda just behind the thick curtains nobles usually use to get away from the crowd to meet their Lovers or such." He had this lollipop and licking it as he said those words.

"Triana, How can this cutie knows the word lover?" I blushed. "He's too young to know such things!"

"Im older than I look! I'm a werecat you know hmp. Werecats is supposed to grow in this timeline you know!" he argued back.

"So your already an Old Man! But how can you retain that cuteness!"

"Im not an Old man! Im turning 30 human years this year and in werecat Im only 15!"

Aize and I became quite really close for the past days.

"Stop fighting you two." Triana laughed and separate us two.

"Ok fine!"

"Fine!"

A servant came in and after were eyeing each other to 'shut up you idiot.' the servant spoke.

"Pardon me for Intruding your precious time Young ladies, and Young master, Madam Rebecca is here and requesting for audience she's in the drawing room one."

"Oh it's the drawing room one, She's quite a talented one, don't you think so Sis?"

There's also a number system implemented here of course it was the Idea of Triana. She said that she's tired dealing with people with a 'shitty and trashy' attitude (those came direct from her mouth and The duchess thought her that word.) so in order to classify people she categorized it into 3.

The Number 1 represents is a guest that have a talent and must be treated with respect and no hostility is allowed. (A great asset)

The Number 2 is in the Lukewarm state it means that there is a mistake committed from the past. (The scaling treatment.)

The Number 3 is where a guest is not welcomed at all.

"So let's go and find you dress suitable for that ball."

"Okay!"

We headed towards the Drawing room 1 where a person greeted us.

"Greeting My ladies, and Young master. It's an Honor to meet you. I am a designer Rebecca Ross." She bowed followed by a girl behind her.

"Im Mrs, Rebecca's Assistant you can call me Jane."

"Well, Im in your care." I politely smiled. Triana and Aize sat on a sofa while Mrs Rebecca started her job.

"First please allow me to confirm your measurements, Please pardon me my lady." As she gets the measuring tape.

I extended both my arms and she also measures my waist and writing it in a paper.

"Oh..."

[MADAM REBECCA'S MIND]

------

'Her figures is a much better than I had imagined. She's slender but she has the curves in their right places. This body can pull of any type of designs. It's Amazing.'

'According to my source as a designer, The Lady wanted a much more beautiful design and perfect dress everytime she placed an order at the exclusive designers of the Hazzlets Duchy.'

'So I can't afford to make a mistake and pleas the lady.'

-----

"Jane, make some changes to the measurements. The waistline should be taken in by 6 inches. The shoulders, were gonna have to adjust in exactly 0.5 centimeters."

"Yes!"

[Assistant's Mind]

---

'The costumer for today is The famed Lady Yurianna.'

' I thought that she throws a pit when the designer is not to her liking and a not well known designer. Me and Madam isn't well known because were financially drained doing just the design and dresses and the nobles said that our dress is not to their standards so they cast us aside.'

'But the Drizlea's are different they financially supported our works when they sees our designs and dresses.'

'saying that it's a waste of talent fo us to stay that way in an alley store. They were our patrons.'

' Observing the Lady, Some says that she's a villainess but looking at her right now. It seems that the rumours is false at all.'

'One more thing is true, her hair shines like rubies and her green eyes is sparkling like a mysterious emerald. She's so pretty!' I hid my smile in the files and kept admiring how pretty she was. I blushed.

----

"Jane? Fetch the Illustrations I was already done with the Young ladies Measurements."

I shaked my head and quit daydreaming as Madam Rebecca's calling me. "Yes, Madam Rebecca!."

--------

YURIANNA.

Jane handed me the Designs they made all i need to do is pick a design and I can choose the Prototype which is Madam Rebecca and Jane were displaying right now.

'This is to elaborate and flashy designs. It was too flashy and shows overly dramatic designs.'

Looking at it now, those displays...

"My lady, The large and elaborate ruffles are the distinctive trait and characteristics of the dress you were looking at."

"In addition, the dresses is completely woven in embroided woven with gold and decorated with 500 special 25 carat emeralds."

Madam Rebecca is showing every detail of the dress I'm looking for.

I put the book in the table.

"It is indeed beautiful...However"

"They were not my preffered styles."

I can feel everyone's eyes on me as if they were a bit puzzled.

"I'm not too fond of wearing a gown in bright colors including green, pink, and such I don't also like the Fabrics covering the necks and wrist. The gems didn't have to be that much few is enough and must be placed in their right places."

I smiled.

"Ah.."

Madam Rebecca bowed. " It is due to my lack of research and information. Please forgive me my lady."

"It's fine, This is my personal taste after all."

The servants took out all of the dresses and arrange some new ones.

After a while the styles where placed.

" Lady Yurianna, based on you preference I have chosen this dresses. Please take a look at them."

"With this skills you indeed worthy of the Patronage of the Drizlea." The other designs were good and I don't have anything against it.

"You flatter me My lady."

Thinking again, the suit wore by the Crown prince is Red and if my memory is correct he will send a red dress in the Hazzlets Estate of course by the order of his father.

I won't wear it in a million years.

"But if I may add Lady Yurianna, this style you've chosen is a bit modest for the Royal Ball." Probably Rebecca is worried about me being a Duke's Daughter wearing some modest outfit in a royal ball.

"That's fine, I came up with a new design that will totally give the dress a more 'modern' look. eheeheheh." I smiled devilishly inside.

Everyone in the room where puzzled as I begin the twist on my dress.

AFTER A WHILE.

"Lady! This is amazing, I'll do the honor of making the perfect dress for the ball. Im going to give it my all!" Madam Rebecca seems fired up.

"Yes, Im leaving it to you then." I gave an order to her that the other designs I personally picked is to be sent to Eliria.

I forgot to invite her for some tea because I'm busy rolling around this days.

After dismissing them Triana ordered some dresses and we picked some for Aize too.

I thought they weren't attending and I'm correct. They won't because It's too bothersome to deal with the Imperial Family. They hate their guts to the bone and I can't blame them for some reasons.

"So let's make you comeback to the Capital a blast shall we?"

"Yes, Im definitely coming back."

-----

HI! Leave some comments if you like. Im thinking about this thing.

"What was the actual view of my readers to my story? Is it good or bad?"
