After returning to the duchy, I took a quick nap before preparing for the ball.
In Sinner's Revenge, they always made it seem like a spa day preparing for such events but in reality, it was nothing more than a headache.
It's funny actually, I used to dream of experiencing such luxuries but once I finally did, I felt empty.
After soaking in a Jasmine-scented bath for hours, Eleanor scrubbed my entire body before giving me a full-body shave.
I could barely breathe with all the steam mixed with Jasmine that accumulated in the bathroom.
Has the concept of ventilation not been developed yet in this time period?
But honestly, what I have to go through is nothing compared to everything Eleanor does for me.
I never truly realized just how much effort maids put into working for the people they serve.
Maybe I should give Eleanor a raise...
Once I finally was able to leave the bathroom, Eleanor attended to my hair and makeup.
"Don't you think we should go buy a new dress for the ball my lady?" Eleanor asked.
"Let's just use one of the dresses in my closet" I replied nonchalantly.
"Are there any left that I haven't already worn?"
"I think there's still a couple left my lady," Eleanor said as she rummaged through my closet.
"That one, have I worn that?" I said pointing at a long sleek black evening gown.
"But this type of dress is not typically worn, my lady..."
"Is there a dress code?"
"Well...as long as it's a gown I suppose it's okay milady"
"Let's go with that one then," I said before Eleanor brought it out and laid it on my bed.
It was a long strapless body-conformed formal black dress.
After wearing the poofy suffocating dresses that I normally do, I was actually looking forward to wearing something like this for once.
It's definitely a bit bold but who really cares?
It seemed like it would be comfortable and I thought it would help me blend into the crowd and avoid drawing unnecessary attention to myself.
"Let's ditch the corset today too"
"But milady...the corset is always worn-"
"Just for today?" I pleaded with my best puppy dog eyes.
