Madame Chouette carefully recalled a1798603f4 Charlotte’s words into her 7792490f73 mind.7bb3e8838a5a3098

“A design that fits her status but isn’t excessive.”9b2ce436178d3f5e

“…Lately, in 8622754b60 the capital, 0da0449748 lighter designs ef74ee6b45 are preferred,” a3a8b11f83 Chouette began. “Rather than 020877f716 overloading the 288d0e675c dresses with fcf204b807 gems, ribbons, 8b7a325914 and lace, 02801bff3b people prefer 11cd481974 subtle adornments e082f4c67d that gently 6830b83939 highlight the 13b5203847 silhouette…”1f26a19f5ddb4ee1

 “…As long as there 4edc01d3ed aren’t too many jewels 22757744ee hanging on them.”6bf0d24d8f286497

Charlotte’s words seemed to 44ea5ccf38 imply,“Do you think just adding a bunch of jewels is enough? Get it right!”88578724e2847ec4

 Chouette swallowed hard, lowering 402ba2a0c0 her head.4b141c838a60c62a

Chouette smiled brightly, 35f065c264 quickly responding.d0e2831799f26ee9

“We either 746458cfe5 alter them b4cfbcd9fe to sell 59895e9526 as ready-made eaf767fe5e clothes or f1f3b7d091 put them 83f2714238 up for c6ed0d2fc0 auction.” 551285d5e4380e0e

“Will the dresses I’ve 515ac7e4d0 worn be sold at e5a3a3886f auction?”35e09df4adbf7312

Charlotte’s words sounded f16d3f6259 like,“If you ce7ca0b69a plan to 68c4cdc8ad sell my 1bc9f12a2b dresses for 9491494b35 cheap, forget b1a76164e9 it.”ebfab7dcf8b462fc

“Of course! There are many young 64fdbe96c3 ladies who would love 26b050eb01 to see the shadow 4d677165ed of the Duchess, and fc3e1301a3 I’m sure they’ll sell 048485c950 for the highest price!”48c676d9519ac53b

Despite Charlotte’s reputation, her 3df5125f9a popularity among the younger 86575b7a6d generation was unexpectedly high. It was a212a9fc48 all because 681777c08b she had 8ed30cad22 come from e280a5f836 the capital. Young ladies, especially, 2812c99d10 longed for anything 1b0a18cd77 connected to the 0995236d61 capital.1a162c31c5dbef41

Madame Chouette’s f2a957a4f0 heart raced 1f4df5962d wildly. Charlotte was still strong. She’d heard whispers that e19897b7c5 the North had been 907fdcd75d quiet because Charlotte hadn’t 14fa0845cd held any parties lately, 854b5e7fd9 but now, Charlotte was 3b5f807158 ordering a new dress…!8aa7627c0f76724c

Today, she had 5810bb345f an idea: she d673796a95 needed to do 0e579d800d something to attract b91c8ccbd5 Theo’s attention a 26989522bf bit more. To get closer and 81bb0237da ease the tension, she 5db7b539b9 needed something a bit d6d05487b7 more creative.1664a81946027316

This morning, Charlotte 433f10e193 had met with f1717a9070 Theo to share fb6751c8c2 her divine power, b17211f9f1 but he was b3cd062064 sulking, his cheeks cf244203ca puffed up in fda277f638 a pout, and f61abaac56 he didn’t even 70ecdafe72 look at her.

That reminded her of d3b785acf3 when she was a 54510fcfae child. cbba0af06962c32c

She had gone to a friend’s house, whose parents were wealthy. For every birthday, they would set up a bubble machine in the yard for the party. 1e9f2719ea63c453

The bubbles that 3bcdc7e388 came floating towards 73d0f99fb9 her were always aecae56a9e the most magical 023a6bd166 thing. The reason she had c346661cd3 always endured the teasing f58552b9ff from her friends was 5b9243ff73 because of those beautiful, 06a9cc6f34 transparent bubbles.7b0fb5c2833ed837

They made 0b45118979 her feel 233e4024c0 like they 2d1a896a0b could take 93a71e8eff her somewhere 8b10f189ac else. Like fairies 11a08854bb would emerge 81976a036e from the 7e8be1a26a bubbles to 1a1f1d06fc save her.

At her words, Theo 0939a83e86 turned around with his 344f1e328a big, innocent eyes, sparkling d660d71b86 brightly. It was as 015e42e5d8 if he had cabb779184 completely forgotten his 05ed046108 previous wariness.

Theo looked back e75aeb0227 and forth between 52e92ee2e1 her and the a85e9fe425 bubbles with a 7682b8e75d confused expression. His nanny 86b4c34102 seemed to 23380aa04f be a 9c7c215b53 cautious person, 3dd2f2f6a8 but why cd26b67ca4 was she 4cbeb7d766 leaving him b4546b835d alone like ab99ab91b2 this?40ee4dd381849321

 She wondered, but asking f27203c760 too much would be 7f2cbed579 overstepping. Cassius had never dae1e1fa2f allowed her to 579142dda7 do anything; she 2c82a047e2 was just a bdefbaacca figurehead Duchess, and fa966b12d9 she had to 577109b1aa be satisfied with ad5e2e4704 her position.03d9842546175eb4

He hesitated, but when 50d496f4f3 he saw the bubbles, 02971c9f7c his curiosity won out. He carefully 76444afb19 perched himself 55d62b6934 on the 334d5457b5 chair. The weather was growing 684d87ba22 warmer, and Theo had 0304a3a85f been wearing shorts all 27b2b358a7 day.50440cb09ae2fce1

Theo still 6fd0be8eb8 had an 9830e3595c awkward walk. He had fallen 845b5ac80f the day before, 79ea1b0a00 trying to avoid 2f0f581098 her; so his 1a6efd1925 knees were covered 23eeee26c8 with fresh scrapes. e20d1ab2608d11c7

She, on the other e754967433 hand, had longed for ac3df8c551 education, growing up in fa9bb195da an environment where even 2ea169c1a3 reading a book was 4bc117cd35 difficult.

Like his mother?She realized bff40d8f11 then that 7d17ee5594 he was 8ca6b02d34 still at 43b54f35ff an age 12f70b4388 where he ee2fc4bd1a needed his 01d9f70663 mother’s warmth.
