here was a collective gasp around the room
The ladies were in a flustered uproar
‘I want her to be the epitome of a woman the world admires,
who is at the leading edge Mattie, the Ehest peak
Right now, she h they are
well a fashi+on Neither
does she use much make-up, do you?’ (Zuben: Leann don’t talk too much, she
ain!)
‘No…’ she gave a wry smile at the accurate assessment
(Zuben: He does see you everyday)
‘Right noe do not have a social salon where the noble
ladies can meet artists and poets and other people of distinction In a setting
like this, what the ladies ould be one of the topics of conversation, so
the Princess can’t be seen as frugal’
‘That’s right the other nobles would look down upon a
sial Princess,’ Julia said (Zuben: I really don’t understand
why this wo in the story quite a bit)
‘However, it can be known that the Crown Prince adores his practical and simple
Princess’
‘That being said, I would like to have a discussion with you
all on hoant to portray Mattie, the future Empress There is no limit to
what can be spent on outfitting her with the best and stylish clothing,
underthings, jewellery and anything else she would need This would be a
collaborative effort’ Leandroth said to the astonished women in the room
‘For today, ill begin with introductions and listen to
your preliminary opinions on the matter Can someone take minutes of theas well so they can be reviewed and those who are off won’t miss
anything?’
Leandroth took a sip of the honey drink to wet his throat
then turned to Matilda,
‘Well, would you choose who starts first as the chairperson
of this salon, Matilda?’
Matilda blinked Their expectant gaze was on her
‘Well…I’ll ask Paola to start’
Paola was the youngest, ‘A few days ago you hurt your foot,
are you better now’ Matilda asked the younger girl
Paola looked panic-stricken, she blushed from her hairline
to her neck, but she nodded,
‘I ahter of a minor baron,
Baron Sevilla of the Alfertel Province,’
‘Sprains are prone to recurring, so make sure you see the
doctor if it happens again Alfertel is near the sea with a military port?’
‘Yes, my father works for the Port Authority’
‘May I ask a question?’ Leandroth said interrupting them,
‘Yes, your Majesty’
‘Why did you chose Paola to go first?’ Leandroth asked(Zuben: What does it
matter?)
‘I asked Paola to go first because, it can be very nerve
wracking waiting foryour turn and
thinking of what you would say, now she can calm down and listen well to
everyone else’
She tilted her head as she answered, Leandroth stroked her
head and smiled (Zuben: ¬¬)
‘Next’
‘Ioan’ Matilda replied
The maid rose, ‘hello all I am Ioan, I am nineteen, my
family are in trade We deal in heavy woven textiles; our shop is in the
western side of Obiolus the capital The fabrics are woven in other provinces
of Barenshi+aga, they can be used for carpets or wall hangings’ She bowed1
‘I’m curious about how they are made, but I did not want to
bother Ioan Are there wall tapestries in the palace?’ Matilda asked Julia
‘Yes, there are’
‘I would love to see them if I may’
‘Of course,’ the older lady replied, bowing
‘Nuria, you’re next You’re froht, hope your home
wasn’t affected in the war there?’
‘hello all, I am Nuria I am nineteen, I am from Acedo State
My father was honoured with a nity for
saving the Ehter’
‘Is your father well?’
‘Yes, he’s happily waving his spear around’
The introductions continued in this way (Zuben: I don’t know
why, they should all have known this before) until it came to Matilda,
‘hello all, I am Matilda Martina IceCoretta (Zuben: ) I
am twenty six I know I am the future empress but please call me by name, treat
me as a friend who you can come to in times of trouble’
When she was finished she bowed to Leandroth,
‘I aa I am twenty seven Nice
to properly get to know you all,’
Did he have to introduce himself as well? Matilda wondered
‘Isn’t that obvious?’ she asked
‘My lady is very serious so everyone’s assistance is
necessary Don’t let her hide or cry, if she does you can call me, don’t worry
a, don’t you think?’
‘Your Majesty, when you first decided on your Lady ere surprised,’
Julia said, ‘But now that we’ve gotten to know her, we feel that your choice is
right’
At the kind compliments of the Chief of Staff, Matilda
blushed
‘Noith your majesty's permission, we need to discuss a few
is’
‘Continue…’
‘We would need to appoint a secretary for the Salon, who
will perfor, take the minutes and make
sure plans are organised and carried out I would like to noata for
this role As for the clerk, she and you can choose’
Agata sat up straighter and bowed, ‘I am humbled,’ she said
to Julia
‘Next thing, as for calling you by nah I approve,
