Chapter 64 - Trying dresses.....too troublesome ! (1/2)

” Aria , I don't understand what you mean . You say that you like my designs but won't wear one of the dresses I made . Could you please be more clear ?! ” said Mana .

” Mana , I.....I am afraid I will ruin the dress I will be borrowing . It would be a waste if I ruin a well made work . I will feel very guilty . ” said Aria with a sad expression while thinking about the price of those dresses .

' I won't ever wear a dress that expensive . Only because I ruined an ugly statue , I ended up giving myself unneccesary extra work , as if professor Benjamin's homeworks weren't enough . ' thought Aria with an annoyed expression .

” Aria do you realize who you're going to meet ?! ” asked Mana .

Aria remembered that madam Margrethe had told her that the queen would also attend . This was the perfect chance to talk to her about a recomandation letter , the first step of her career as a judge .

” The ball tomorrow is a birthday ball organized in princess Klara's honor . She is the second princess of Denmark . A lot of important people will attend . Do you know what ladies talk in gatherings like this ?! ” said Mana with a serious expression .

Aria shaked her head in sign of denial .

” They talk about what you're wearing . The slightes non luxurious thing that you have in your apperance will be noticed right away . The ladies that attend parties like this are pretty picky , trust me . ” said Mana and Aria also thought the same .

She was a common girl who was straiving hard to achive her goals in the ways she thought best . A girl like her who worked day and night without break , didn't pay to much attention to girly things oir luxurious items . While her friend disscused the latest fashion brands she would go to the library and start studying .

' True , I have not paid much attention to fashion but that doesn't mean that I am lacking that much . ' thought Aria to herself .

” I don't now how rich and important ladies are but I guess I need to leave a good impression on the queen . I'm sorry before hand if something happens to the dress . Althought I am not sure how much time it will take but I will do my best to pay you back.” said Aria with a determinded attitude .

” Silly ! You saved me and even helped me . Consider this as a gift from me . ” said Mana with a smile .

” Thanks Mana but I will be more troubled if I knew that there is a four million or ten million dress inside my closet . I woudn't be able to sleep peacefully . As soon as the party ends I will bring you the dress back . ” said Aria with a smile .

' This girl is really nice . It feels nice to be friends with someone who doesn't hold any ideas of using you to get more benefits . She's too childish and naive when it comes to understanding humans yet she's very talented in handling law issues . What a big contrast between IQ and EQ ! Still I find it quite cute ! ' thought Mana while looking at Aria's nervous smile .

” Well the , shall we begin ?! ” said Mana and took the drafts .

” Actually , I was thinking of skipping the part where we need to try all of them and choose one from these catalogs . ” said Aria , showing Mana the catalogs .

” I have designed them but it's much better when you try them on and see who's your perfect fit and on the way I may come up with another idea . Are you trying to ask an artist like me to limit my imagination ?! ” said Mana in an angry tone with a devilish smile .

' Why do I feel like I can't escape no matter what ?! ' thought Aria a bit scared of Mana's expression .

” Now that you have seen the catalogs , we better go to my working room . ” said Mana .

” Your working room ?! Mana you live here ?!! ” asked Aria surprised .

” Yes , I.....” said Mana then stopped herself .

' Oh no ! I alsmost revealed myself . Grandma would have killed me ! ' thoght Mana .

” I mean , I am staying here for the time being cause the princess has ordered thirty pieces to be custom made only for her . So , I need to stay her and try to understand what she likes in order to make the dresses . That's why they prepared a working room for me . ” lied Mana so that she could convince Aria .

' I always have a feeling that Bekora , Mana and that blode donkey are hiding something from me . ' thought Aria but didn't pay to much attention to that .

Aria and Mana went to Mana's work room . When Aria stepped in she thought that she had become the same as Lisa in wonderland . That work room looked like a world of it's own . No matter where you turned your head , it was filled with jewels , dresses with all different colours and style . It was a breathtaking view which left Aria wordless . She was deeply amazed by Mana's unique talent in creating so many styles which had their own aura even thought they were created by one person . Indeed she was amazed but at the same time she thought that it would be too tiresome to wear all of those . It was a pleasure to the eye but wearisome .

” I have to try all of them ?! ” said Aria while pointing the room which looked more like a large lobby rather than a work room , with dresses hanged in each corner .

” Yes , we will ! I can easily tell what fits me so I will be skipping the trying part , to bad though . ” said Mana a bit dejected .

' Change places with me !!! ' screamed Aria inside of her mind .

” Now lets start with session B . Go to the change room in the left and wear the dresses the maids will hand you . ” said Mana and took a notebook .
