"Kelly was originally Princess Mia's wardrobe maid, so she must have a refined sense of style. Besides, I couldn't tell by your makeup yesterday, but I bet you look great in your natural state."
Compliments! Is Lord Nazelbert, an angel?
"Don't exaggerate. More importantly, what's that about Kelly being the princess's wardrobe maid?"
"Oh, she was given the task of arranging some of the princess's wardrobe although she was a maid, because of her exceptional taste."
Why is such a brilliant person dressing me up like that!? It's scary, isn't it?
My panicked question was answered by Lord Nazelbert's next words.
"Because of Her Highness the Princess's tantrum, Kelly has been fired......."
When you are the wardrobe maid of a royal family, you have to prepare exemplary attire that is more formal than that of an ordinary noble. Kelly and her colleagues were aware of this and suggested outfits appropriate to the time and place.
Princess Mia, however, had a problem with that.
When asked what she wanted to dress, she'd say, "I want my ceremony clothes to be more flashy!" or "I want to wear a sexy dress with a wide back and bust opening!" and other such reckless requests.
"That's just not right, is it?"
"The princess got angry and complained to the head wardrobe maid, and Kelly, who was of the lowest rank, was made to take the blame and resign from her post. I happened to witness the incident and decided to hire her."
Lord Nazelbert is a kind man, after all. And I'm glad the brilliant Kelly didn't end up on the street.
Her Royal Highness seems to frequently run amok and fire her servants. She seems to be more selfish than I thought.
"By the way, I think the royal court will soon send you a letter regarding yesterday's matter....... Depending on the content, you may be at a disadvantage. I'm really sorry that it's my fault. I will try to arrange it so that you will not be in trouble as much as possible."
"Oh, no, please don't apologize."
"But......!"
"If I am not in a good position, can I have these clothes and shoes? I never had clothes of my own, did I? They were always hand-me-downs from my grandmother or great-grandmother. That's all I need, and I'll manage the rest on my own."
"No, such a thing.......!"
"I knew I was being too pretentious, asking for clothes. I'm sorry, I got carried away."
"No, it's not that......."
I wonder why Lord Nazelbert sighed at my words.
After all, was it too greedy to want clothes and shoes? Even though they are ready-made, they are the kind of outfits that would be served at a duke's house, so they might be quite expensive.
"Anyway, I will talk to the other party so that Miss Agnes can lead a peaceful life. I have also contacted the Marquise of Evantail to accept you back."
"Thank you."
I don't think that our stubborn family would take back what they said once they said it.
