Chapter 110: Chapter 106: Night of the Chimera’s Cry – Festival (4)

On the first day of the festival, near the academy’s entrance, a shop selling clothes run by four ladies opened for business.

One lady sat behind the counter as she jotted down orders, while the other two assisted customers with picking outfits suited for their needs.

And sitting in front of the shop by the side was a beautiful lady with reddish-brown hair and green eyes. While she just sat there, not a single customer or even those passing by could take their eyes off her. It wasn’t due to just her beauty, but rather the odd clothes she wore that yet somehow suited her.

The outfit was simple. She wore short brown pants and a long-sleeved over-the-shoulder red blouse with a white collar and black straps. Then long black stockings that almost reached her thighs. Instead of jewelry as a necklace, she wore a long brown scarf that hung loosely in front of her. 

The theme for the outfit noted by the designer was a casual outing.

At first, it may seem like a bold outfit that completely ignored a noble’s etiquette. But if you look closer, it followed what was considered ‘safe’ in society. The stockings covered the legs, and the blouse only revealed your shoulders.

While the outfit was straightforward, the designer decided to take it off the shelf. Her reason was simple. When the lady wearing it tried on the clothes, she realized it had a flaw. Because of short pants and long stockings, only those with long and firm legs can pull it off. So, the designer decided not to sell the outfit until she made certain adjustments.

After all, only female knights might be able to wear the original design, and then there’s…her.

Aurora Isla.

Aurora sighed for the umpteenth time as she sat still in the chair. When she arrived at the shop, the Princess and Griselda forced her to change her clothes. Who knew they planned on using her to pull in bait (customers)?

Well…

Aurora glanced at the expressions of the people passing by, especially the sparkling eyes of the women.

‘It’s not so bad since the design is to my liking.’

She was never a big fan of dressing up, even back then. She hated when everyone tested her sense of fashion. Having to wear corsets, frilly dresses, high heels, and luxurious jewelry at every event tired her out just as much as putting on a fake smile.

However, an outfit with a design like this, while plain, was not dull.  

Aurora observed the designer speaking with customers. Her age was the same around Aurora before she died.

“I should keep her in mind,” Aurora mumbled.

The theme on the second day focused on attracting female Knights or those who wanted to become Knights. The idea was to create an outfit for female Knights for formal events.

During such events, female Knights either wore the standard Knight’s uniform or gave it up for a dress. The problem with the standard uniform was how strict and ordinary it was. This was a problem for female Knights who wanted to dress up and show off their pride as a Knight.

It combined the colors of the two divisions from the Rizar Knights. Black, gold, and red.

The buttoned-up long-sleeved jacket had a red collar and cuff, with gold outlines and buttons. 

Underneath the jacket was a red blouse with black strips, though you couldn’t see much of it besides at the bottom, where the buttons didn’t reach all the way, leaving a small split. The outfit was complete with red pants and long black and gold high-heeled boots. There was also a black crisscross belt holster for Knights to place their swords.
