「There's no need for cleaning o to Lava's room Do not open the door toher rooht after she finished Lishella's dress just like she declared

「I was thinking about trying so co for ly easy to e of pace」

Said Ligurila, before she devoted her full attention to Lishella and her lessons on conquering the high society

However, there was nothing left forcoic stones, obtained as much as I could, and took care of some minor other businesses while I was at it, and just like that rand and so ht out of the royal palace

It was so spacious that you could probably organize soical chandeliers hanging fro and intricate decorations on the walls

This whole space was filled with nobles, enjoying food and cha in some small talk

Each and every one of theic stone

The sheer amount of luxury in this roolad that I attended a few banquets like that during my time in Ballow

Otherwise, I would have been stunned on the spot And that would be pretty bad

From what I could see, the vast majority of nobility was present here, accompanied by their fairls present, but none of thehter than Lishella

Not only did Ligurila prepared her dress, but she also did her hair and makeup and prepared son of Lishella's dress was based on the latest fashi+on trends,it look all fluffy, similar to a cotton candy

It was even colored pink, but it had no frills whatsoever, and it was tightly sticking to Lishella's body

「I got rid off all of the unnecessary frills and laces, instead focusing on accentuating the skirt and the girls' figure Certainly, you would find nothing better to fully accentuate one's charm and allure」

Honestly, I couldn't understand about half of Ligurila's words right now, but I could clearly see that Lishella was shi+ning as bright as a star

Usually, she was keeping to herself and no one paid any attention to her

But for tonight, she was at the very center of attention, with a crowd of people surrounding her and drawing curious gazed from all over the place

It was a scene that could very well screaurila's efforts thus far in educating her

「Pay close attention to your surroundings and irl in there The dress you'll be wearing will be your very own battle attire And if you spot your fiancée in the crowd, be sure to be the first one to sirl's ultimate weapon If you smile at others, they tend to respond in kind If you can't bring yourself to ss that you like or that h she was at the center of attention, Lishellathe crowd of people and shtly at him

It was still a little bit aard, but it wasman towards her with little to no problee the rooan to casually talk with each other, it was all but bloay

What a transforirl to the center of attention and the fiancée of the duke's son!

Once they stopped talking, other young people rushed to Lishella's side to talk to her, but she still ed to remain cal yourself, just show the other party that you are willing to listen to whatever they have to say That way they will talk, doing all the work for you Meive you and observe your surroundings, see how others react With that you can figure out the balance of power」

Following Ligurila's advice, Lishella watched the other guests while talking with people who approached her

Although she was a girl of feords, she was sh to handle any kind of tea party that people could throw at her, and she was good at picking at subtle reactions of people in her surroundings

It also see to take quite a while to finish

”The first impression is crucial, for it tends to stick with you no irl to use the knowledge she received to her advantage and h I see she has no probleurila see

Later that evening, when Lishella was asked by her fiancée for a dance, Ligurila ca her ician in here What do we do, Lava? There are quite a few artificial ed to recover aloing to assume my position”

I excused ht to the roof of the building

I was still able to see as going on inside of the ballroom thanks to the ”eye” spell that I iurila's chest

We received a ed to discover a suspicious place inside of the dungeon, and so we decided to end this whole charade once and for all tonight

The plan was that Ligurila was to remain at the ballroom as Lishella's attendant, and at the arrival of Count Avar she was supposed to create a diversion and wait outside During the commotion I was to descend into the ballrooic stones, urila Then ere just supposed to flee the scene

While being at it, Ligurila was to press the Count for soic stones and the place at which they were producing it, and kindly ask hiet hurt

We knew that it was rather crude ency and ere on the brink of the demonic outbreak, it was a necessary drastic action that we both were ready to take

Before tonight's party, I have succeeded in retrieving ic stones froer should be considerably lower But still

Almost every person that was present in here see at least one piece of accessory or jewelry that had ic stone incorporated in it, men and women alike

Apparently it was a condition of entrance to this party was to bring artificial urila and I had the stones on us, although it was nothing more than a well-, but thanks to that ould be able to recover all of theurila, do I really have to do this like that?”

Ligurila couldn't help herself but laugh when she heard my voice

”Ara, and what other way do you propose instead? It may have been for only a couple of days, but you surely becaic Stone Thief' Even at this party people talk about you So bear with it unless you want your identity to be exposed”

”No, no, it's not like I', but do I really need to wear a e my facial features……”

”Ara, so maybe you would like me to ask your beloved apothecary for opinion on this , it was only your iurila's blackmail, I had no other choice but to keep quiet and roll with it

However, when I was looking at lass roof, I couldn't help it but to feel eht noas a robe made out of monster hide, as well as a very short mini-skirt and a flashy cloak

The outfit was cute and all, but I couldn't resist the feeling that it ay too flashy, as the blouse was showing a huge portion ofhalfway downa cutesy top hat on e butterflies, and while it was only covering nizeabout this whole outfit that I illing to tolerate

The rest? It was downright e atskirt!

What's worse, when Ligurila made the outfit and forced me to wear it, she snapped a picture ofit
