119 A Unique Dress

"It was not my idea. But I was there when it happened. I was standing behind you with Elma, one of Elene's friend." she confessed lightly, "your sister must have planned it. You may not be aware but she is a popular socialite. Her clothes became fashion trends followed by the other nobles and she was invited to every party. Even more now that people are speculating about you.

They will listen more to her than you because she has been their friend for a long time. One rumor… one rumor from the mouth of Grace Herberth would not damage her long reputation." Diana shrugged and finally looked at Evan to see her lost in thoughts.
