Dress Up

After making up her mind, a problem occurred that made Alicia a little anxious as she looked down. "How is this!? The dress is too long." She couldn't see at all her toes which had been sunk by the dress. Alicia was a little confused about how to deal with her long dress.

Different from the previous clothes which always fit her body. She guessed that someone else's dress was lent to her.

Her problem is not only with the long dress but also with the dress's zipper. She couldn't reach the zipper on her back at all because of her joint problems.

"Aaa... A little more I can reach it." She had a hard time wearing the dress alone. She needed an assistant.

However, after despairing that no one came and time was running out, she finally struggled until she was out of breath to reach the zipper. "Ha, ha, ha, I knew it was really hard to wear."

After closing the zipper, she looked at her appearance one more time to evaluate whether she matched the dress or not. "Whoa, even though it's long, but the size fits my body."

The dress covers her shoulders almost fully and flows down into a modest cowl neckline. It's a loose fit that helps remove unwanted attention on her breasts but does so by still looking elegant.

Her arms have been covered to just below her elbows. The sleeves broaden towards the bottom and playfully accentuate her skin.

She liked the dress's magenta color with some pink parts. And she was quite grateful because it was not an open dress that would show some parts of her body.

By slightly lifting the bottom of her dress, she can overcome the problem of a long dress. "Yosh, this way I'm sure I won't trip if I have to go up or down stairs."

While she was practicing walking in a dress, someone unlocked her door and entered the room without knocking.

"Miss, are you done?" The Iris-haired girl appeared from behind the door and immediately asked Alicia.

Luckily she was able to finish dressing in time before Belle entered her room and was able to show that she had already put on her dress. "I think so."

Belle didn't immediately ask Alicia to leave. Still, instead, she looked at her for a moment and looked dissatisfied with how she was dressed.

"As expected, this fancy dress definitely doesn't suit me." Alicia was not surprised if Belle looked at her like that. At least she had tried to finish her request.

"Don't worry, it suits you. You still have a little time, let me help you to dress up." Belle walked over to Alicia. And take some of the accessories that are available on the bed.

Alicia was a little relieved after hearing Belle's praise, and it boosted her confidence a bit.

"Sorry to bother you, I'm not used to fancy clothes." Alicia, inexperienced in wearing fancy dresses, was convinced that her dressing was wrong. Moreover, she doesn't know how to use accessories except for necklaces.

The first thing Belle took was a long yellow cloth. Alicia initially thought it was a scarf, but who would have thought that Belle wrapped the cloth around her waist.

'Haaa, so that's a belt?!'

Belle tied the belt quite tightly around her waist. Her waist that previously felt free was now tightly wrapped around her. This was done to highlight her slim waist.

After putting the necklace around Alicia's neck, Belle looked back at her appearance. "Hmm, this is good. Only your hair is untidy... Actually I could shave your hair to tidy it up, but you don't have time anymore, I'll just put your hair in a bun."

Alicia was a little annoyed with Belle's words. If only she had said her message clearly, maybe they still had time to shave her hair. But she didn't get mad that Belle took the initiative to fix her untidy hair without shaving.

While sitting in the dressing chair, Belle started to put her hair in a bun. Alicia was a little doubtful that Belle would do her short hair because it must be difficult. But since Belle also has short hair, she definitely has her way.

She could feel that her hair was in a ponytail, but she didn't know what Belle was doing with her hair after that. Belle stuck many hairpins in her hair, but she was really comfortable when Belle kept messing with her hair as if she was already a professional.

"It's done! To think I could do it so neatly." Belle cheerfully finished her work.

Hearing that, Alicia, who was curious about her hairstyle, now had to be content with just gently touching her hair so that her hairstyle wouldn't change.

"I'm sure it will be good." It feels neat and great. If there was a mirror, she would love to see her hairstyle now.

Besides, Alicia was happy to hear that Belle had returned cheerfully. She was sure that her previous behavior resulted from being scolded by Rufus.

"We don't have much time, let's go." Belle seemed to be in a hurry and walked quickly towards the door.

This was a thrilling moment for her. Her future will be determined by her efforts after this. Having made up her mind, she nodded to indicate that she was ready to meet someone they called Young Master.
