Marquis's Party
Pillen had always been complaining about Lili's excessive admiration; however, she just couldn't help but share her thoughts with others for today.
"I'm sure that no one else is as beautiful as Madame Seraphina today."
At that glimmer of praise, Seraphina placed her hand on her cheek. The maid had ground the dried roses and powdered them finely before dusting them softly across her cheeks.
"If I'm to be praised, then I'm certain that everything is all thanks to you."
"What do you even mean? It's thanks to My Lady who has incredible taste in fashion. The more I've prepared, the more rewarding it could feel."
Finally, Lili slipped the butterfly ornaments into her hair. It was a rare scene where she soon appeared to have settled down, fascinated by the silver flowers that had bloomed beautifully.
'She's my Madame, yet she is extremely ravishing!'
