Chapter 5
In the original novel, right after Raylene saw the dress that Iris wore, she realized that it was the clothes made by the same designer.
And, she remembered that it was the dress that needed to be reserved in order to be worn in the next imperial palace"s party.
Raylene was angry.
She thought without the slightest doubt that the prince gave it as a present. That"s why she violently grabbed Iris" long hair and cursed her saying, ‘a woman who doesn"t own a single thing became parasitic to a man and lived on while selling her body.
I understand, Eonni.
I would be angry as well if there was something I"ve been worried about buying or not, and what had been put within my shopping bag was sold out.
Anyway, being angry or not. Of course, I would be worried when I saw the price.
Regardless of how I was a woman in a modern city who lived her life wealthily while receiving a monthly wage, if I were to compare myself with this Eonni, it would be like a firefly in front of the Sun.
Originally, rather than salaried people, those who were born with a silver spoon were the best. “I said it"s fine.”
“…?”
“It"s pretty, huh.”
“…Yes?”
“It seems like it"s a dress from designer Rosemary, the dresses from her are excellent. It fits you just fine, Iris.”
…Why are you looking at me like that?
Iris" expression was like ‘did she talk nonsense because she ate rat poison?".
No, when someone lives their life, they can give compliments and the others can just pa.s.s by it, but what"s up with her expression?
Glancing to the side, Raylene"s followers" expressions were more ridiculous. It was an expression that questioned my existence.
“Then, I hope you will enjoy the party.”
Whether it"s Han Beomjun or the Prince, those kinds of h.o.r.n.y men, just take them all you want.
Bad habits die hard, they would always say. The next time she sees him cheating, she would have to cry and squeeze her runny nose, so she could come to her senses. Live your life full of regret while babysitting brats like him all your life.
I would live this dream using lots of my mountain-like piles of money and say, ‘Oh my? The money still remains like a huge mountain, huh? Hohoho". I would live a life like this.
“It"s a relief. I was worried Your Highness would dislike it.”
Because I was looking at a party hall, thoughts of pulling my childhood friends" hands and going to a nightclub came up in my head.
Is it similar to this place?
If we met people we like, we would approach them and ask for a phone number, no, write a letter and ask for their home address…right?
I was worried about it when Iris was holding me.
“What do you mean by this?”
As Iris formed a smile that seemed kind no matter who was looking at it, she opened her mouth to reply to my question.
“If the designer was the same, the dresses" style would end up similar anyway. There are many ladies who dislike those things, that"s why I am worried.”
Iris" words seemed to explain the reason why I need to be mad.
Ah, she was an audacious female lead. She got humiliated by the villainess but still returns the favor, that kind of character.
“Is that so?”
Then does this mean that you need to get revenge on villainess Eonni?
“They say a lady"s dress is her pride you know? Even though I don"t really understand it.”
She looked innocent and lovely as she put her index finger on her cheek and tilted her head sideways.
“Princess Raylene and I share the same thoughts, right?”
It was obvious that Iris wanted to hurt my pride while looking at that dress.
Realizing that it would be humiliating for a princess like Raylene to wear the same dress as someone from a mere ordinary clan like Iris.
She must have wanted me, whose pride has been hurt, to go on a rampage here, right? Just like the original story.
“Whoa…So shameless.”
“Yes?”
Because I was so taken aback, I thoughtlessly spoke what was in my mind. It was a relief that I didn"t curse here. How can someone who had an affair with another person"s fiance be that shameless?
If you think about it, it"s not Eonni"s fault! If she wasn"t hitting on another person"s fiance in the first place, everything would have been fine!
So, is the fact that you"re the female lead everything? Since you"re the female lead, you can just enjoy a love affair with another person"s fiance? What nonsense.
I will punish her for Eonni. Justice will prevail. O, those romance fantasy novels that I had been spending my money on to read, please give me strength.
“I am not that small-minded, Iris. If I dislike it that much, I would have bought and gathered every dress from every designer in this continent.”
Iris" gentle face stiffened and soon loosened again. It seems like that woman understood my words.
With the n.o.ble family of Kandmion"s wealth, it"s possible to do that right? I"m not bluffing an impossible thing, right?
“It"s pretty, Iris. You don"t know when you will have another chance to wear Rosemary"s dress, so I hope you will enjoy this party.”
After going through hardships to acquire the same dress as I have, don"t show off anymore. Just wear it and go on your way. “Oh, right. I hope you would not make the same mistake of showing up with the same dress for the second time due to your excitement. Goodbye.”
I walked past that woman and went inside the party hall.
I saw the woman clasp her dress tightly.
It"s a shame, right? Originally, Eonni would grab your hair, and even though she was furious, she would still fling her money around that she had been earning like crazy.
‘Where did you put the dignity and pride of a n.o.ble! Please, Princess, don"t forget the n.o.ble family"s reputation that had been vigorously protected."As I thought of it, I destroyed Raylene, the female lead who has been showing a hostile behavior towards me. That"s why I went out of the party hall with my head held up high.
It"s a relief. If I opened my eyes at that time, it would be obvious that I would be rolling by a couple of meters on the party hall"s floor by now.
To be honest, isn"t it because Eonni rolled like crazy that it"s no longer a situation to play a game?
No matter what Eonni does, she would still be superior. No matter what Iris does through money, social power, clan"s history, or lady"s position, and even through justification, Eonni would still win.
Well, even if I just shoved one card, I could scratch her pride deeply.
I wondered, why was Raylene, who was said to be the flower among flowers of the high society, got called as the silly villainess and got people pointing their fingers at her.
I wonder why Raylene, who was said to be the top flower among the flowers of the high society, got called as the silly villainess and made people point fingers at her.
I began to see the light from the writer"s perspective. Because when someone crossed the line and had what they shouldn"t have, it could trigger the people"s catharsis.
If Raylene wasn"t silly there was no way that Iris could win.
“How was Lady Iris able to wear a dress designed by Rosemary?”
“It is indeed expensive, but they also wouldn"t sell it to a family that doesn"t have great authority.”
The words from the followers behind me were heard.
Come to think of it, right after I came into my dream, I almost got involved in a quarrel, right?
“Maybe the Princ…”
“Feira.”
It seemed like Raylene"s guess wasn"t wrong.
I realized that those people were also thinking of the Prince when they saw that woman"s dress.
Miele hurriedly shut Feira"s mouth who wanted to mention the Prince and looked at my face, but I didn"t care that much.
I didn"t want to give the slightest bit of attention to a brat like him.
Now, should we take a look around?
I was worried about my expression because I may look awkward when I open the fan and sway it but I had become so skillful to the point where my body was familiar with it.
As I think about it, a few designers" names that weren"t shown in the novel came into my mind. I could remember the ladies" names right away as well.
Because it was a dream, it seemed like I received lots of buffs
“Hm?”
I saw every single one of people"s faces who were staring at me curiously, wondering if I would cause some kind of ruckus today look disappointed
I saw each of the people"s faces who were staring at me curiously, they were wondering if I will cause some kind of ruckus today. They look quite disappointed since nothing happened.
What"s more important is the star that shines among them!
In comparison to my eyes that needed lenses for it to function properly, Raylene"s body has such good eyesight that I don"t even need to use those anymore.
As she realizes this, she was able to see a man"s face who was standing while zoning out near the wall over there.
Because it was a party hall, I was wondering if handsome men actually existed. I was going to look around searching for those, but I didn"t expect that I would easily find him in one attempt.
“Miele, do you know who that is? It seems like this is the first time I"m seeing that person.”
I asked while looking at Miele who stood beside me. But why are all their expressions like that?
The expression they"re showing makes it seem like they came into a famous tasty restaurant. After they stood in line for an hour, they would say, ‘this is heaven!", but would finish the food in a hurry. Then, in the last course of the meal, it"s as if they spotted a c.o.c.kroach.
Aah, so their mood changed because of what I said earlier.
They also weren"t daughters from families who were that great. It was because they requested help from Raylene"s n.o.ble family that they stayed with Raylene.
“He"s Lord Ca.s.sion.”
Lord Ca.s.sion?
I looked at him closely as I heard Miele"s introduction.
