Chapter 45
Chapter 45
“Greetings, Lady Lowell.”
After her bath, Elysia greeted the dressing room Madame with a bare face. It was because the Madame was going to put on her makeup.
“Are you sure you haven’t lost weight in the meantime?”
Madame Shields looked at Elysia’s emaciated face and said anxiously. She began to unpack what the assistants, who had followed the Madame, were carrying.
“No. It’ll probably be the same, so don’t worry.”
“I’m glad. The dress is beautifully finished. I’m sure it’ll look good on you.”
“Thank you. It must have been tight, but it’s just amazing that you finished it.”
After a few formal words, Elysia took off what she was wearing to put on the dress. She wore only a thin chemise over the slip.
“Lady, you need to take off your chemise, too. Heuk—”
“Oh, my goodness...”
Various exclamations came out around Elysia.
When she took off the dress, what Cassian had left on her from her chin and under was shown. It was because the traces were clearly visible.
Even Gray and other maids, including the madame’s assistants, blushed like ripe apples. Gray and the maids confirmed once again that the relationship between the two of them was very passionate.
As Elysia had already expected it, she rolled her eyes with a calm look.
Madame Shields, the only one who didn’t blush her face, raised her glasses and said in a stern voice.
“From now on, absolutely never! You must not leave any marks on your body. There is a limit to covering up with makeup at the wedding.”
“It will be gone soon...”
“It seems like there may be bruising here. It would be better to get a prescription for an ointment to remove the bruises.”
Madame was busy looking at her body with her eyes shining. She was truly a professional, so in the end, Elysia couldn’t do anything but nod her head.
“Well then, shall we try on a dress first?”
Under the Madame’s direction, the assistants’ hand movements became faster.
She shook her head as Elysia reached out to a corset.
“You don’t need a corset. I’m sure I said you wouldn’t need to wear it.”
She was slender enough that she didn’t even have to wear it.
Vampires don’t gain weight. When Elysia was once again a vampire, so if she had to pick a good point, the first thing she could say was—that she doesn’t have to go on a diet.
‘It’s amazing.’
How hard it was during the period when she was on a diet and ate only vegetables when she was in a human body for a while.
She doesn’t know how much she held onto the hem of Gray’s skirt to ensure a freedom of food.
She wanted to give all the women a round of applause.

Elysia didn’t really understand how wearing a corset made your waist narrower, and who wanted to wear something like that. When she breathed in with strength, she thought that the corset might burst.
Her body would be enough to withstand that piece of cloth.
“Sorry. I haven’t been able to tell my assistants.”
“I see.”
After a while, Elysia finished the fitting and moved to the front of the mirror.
The mermaid-line wedding dress was in an off-solder format, which made her neckline bold. What was unusual was that the material of the dress was made of Mikado silk.
In the world before her transmigration, it was a little thicker and heavier than normal silk, so it was mainly worn in autumn and winter, but there was no other silk fabric other than this in this world.
The Madame was surprised by her request to make a dress from this material. In fact, it was because the fabric was almost never used.
“The choice of fabric was excellent. How did it fall so elegantly.”
“You look really good. Madam! How can you be so elegant?”
The Madame was praising Elysia for choosing this material until her mouth was dry and worn, and the maid was busy telling her that she was always beautiful and it fits well.
Elysia, deciding whether she liked it or not, was looking at the dress.
Dozens of diamonds are encrusted along with the lace pattern that starts from around the chest, and sparkles with every movement of her body. Lastly, the jewelry decorations matched well with the unique luster of silk fabric.
Then, a maid came in with a knock.
“Lady, Lady Blanche has arrived.”
Elysia pondered whether to call Lumiere here or whether she should go to the parlor. She was originally going to call her during the fitting, but she changed her mind.
She didn’t want to show off her wedding dress.
“Please take her to the parlor. Madame, I hope we can do the rest next time. Is it all right?”
“Of course. The dimensions don’t seem to change. Checking the makeup is enough to be done before the wedding.”
“Good work.”
Elysia took off the wedding dress again with the help of the assistants.
She then paused as she looked at the neatly striped dress. She really thought it was childish, too, but just in case...
Elysia’s red magic hovered over the white wedding dress and faded away.
Because she’s not having any luck these days, she wondered if something would happen to the dress.
She wanted to do everything she could do to prevent it.
***
Elysia went to Der after she changed into the dress she had worn before she put on the wedding dress.
Der was kicked out last night in the arms of the maid for disturbing Cassian.
“Nyan!”
“Are you upset?”
Seeing it, she smiled and grabbed the front paws that punched her violently.
“Der, you have to do something very important today. Hopefully, if you do well, I’ll let you sleep in bed today.”
She didn’t mind her words, which would make Cassian wiggle his eyebrows if he heard it. To be honest, she could actually say that this was timid revenge for what happened last night. She needed uninterrupted sleep.
***
“Ryan?”
Ryan was waiting under the stairs going down to the first floor.
“Lady Elysia, I will take care of you.”
“Are you not busy?”
“I think I can be with Lady Elysia for a few days.”
In fact, before Cassian went to work at the Imperial Palace, he had called Ryan and asked for a favor. Since Lady Blanche might come to the mansion soon, he asks Lloyd to put off his task for a while and stay by Elysia’s side.
“It’s fine with me. Actually, I’m sorry for making you look so busy all this time.”
“You don’t have to. It’s what I want to do.”
She then patted Ryan on the shoulder and headed towards the parlor. When she arrived at the parlor, she saw a maid waiting.
As she saw Ryan go ahead and open the door, she opened her mouth.
“Ryan! Wait a minute.”
While holding Der in one hand, Elysia destroyed the magic circle by pouring magic through the magic stone on the doorknob. It was because outsiders could not use magic because of the magic circle hanging on the magic stone.
At the signal that it was over, Ryan opened the parlor door, and Elysia entered.
Lumiere rose from her seat, and she politely greeted.
“Greetings, Lady Lowell.”
“Nice to meet you, Lady. Sit down.”
Elysia sat in her seat, and Ryan stood guard by the doorway Lumiere glanced at him, noticing that Ryan would still be here.
“Bring me some dessert and tea.”
“Understood, madam.”
Lumiere paused for a moment at the name ‘madam.’
Elysia looked at her with curious eyes.
Lumiere had lost a lot of weight in the meantime, so perhaps it was creating a pitier atmosphere than usual.
“I never thought the Lady would invite me in person.”
“Thank you for thinking so.”
Elysia put Der down.
Seeing that, she opened her eyes and saw the cat approaching her.
“This is my baby. The name is Der. It’s cute, isn’t it?”
“Yes. Very. I’ve never seen such a pretty cat.”
“It seems that Der likes the lady.”
Elysia clasped her chin and looked at Der with a happy face. She never asked Der to approach Lumiere, though she was proud.
Of course, she thought she would be a little upset if Der really liked Lumiere, though.
As Lumiere touched Der’s jelly paws, she uttered the word pretty.
“If I had known there was such a cute cat, I would have brought some snacks.”
“Even if it’s not a snack, there are many ways to play. It loves when you make flowers or butterflies with magic and chase after them.”
As Elysia showed the demonstration, she gathered her magic and flew a red butterfly to Der.
As soon as Der found the butterfly, it rolled its eyes and ran to it. Just before Der’s paws caught the butterfly, Elysia scattered the magic in the air. It was difficult to even show the scene where she absorbed the magic.
“Wow, that’s true. May I try it, too?”
Elysia took a sip of her tea and nodded her head.
She felt a strange feeling in the easy situation. Obviously, she was determined as she was guiding it.
Fortunately, the attendants went away after giving her a piece of cake just in time.
“Ryan, will you wait outside?”
“Yes.”
It was because the words that Lumiere would bring out in the future could not reveal her true intentions if there were other people.
Elysia felt Ryan stop his steps right in front of the parlor and let out a small laugh.
At that moment, she also saw Lumiere create two or three butterflies with her magic.
‘Ah, the color is different from the one in the Magic Stone...’
It was a much paler light than the magic extracted from the Jericho Mountains.
Elysia sips her tea, hoping that the butterfly will soon be caught in Der’s hand.
“....?”
However, Lumiere scatters magic just before Der catches the butterfly. She did exactly what
Elysia showed her.
Then, she turned towards Elysia with a face hoping for praise, asking if it was right for her to do this.
“...It makes me feel good to see Der having fun.”
She felt like she had been shot.
Fortunately, Der was no ordinary cat.
Der, who had missed the butterfly twice before its eyes, looked at the other two butterflies and quietly crouched its body.
Elysia was nervous, knowing that that posture was just before the jump.
‘The wall won’t break... I don’t think it’s okay to show her that.’
At Der’s sudden jump, Lumiere hurriedly dispersed her magic.
“Uh... A really smart cat...yes.”
Lumiere said in a bewildered voice.
Der jumped to the opposite butterfly instead of the one she was looking at. Not the butterfly where Lumiere scatters magic, but another butterfly.
At that, Elysia clearly confirmed that Der was absorbing magic.
“Der, stop playing and come here.”
“Nyaan—”
She stroked Der with a lot of affection, who came up to her. The first objective was successfully achieved, so it was time to get to the point.
“Actually, I called Lady today because there is something I want to ask.”
