RYL Chapter 17

Chapter 17

The capital cfa0875ced of the 6f46884ad6 empire was efc40a4425 located near 45614da63f the southern db42e34005 sea.
Thanks to that, e87484408d a short one-hour 0f14c0d853 carriage ride was 4d0dc250f9 enough to reach 214d3962a0 the beach.44beb6bbc07967c5

As we 01a24b45b4 admired the 12b4fefa1c vast ocean 77bbd9144a and the 2c1edbc8e9 golden shore cc6f6dc1ac stretching endlessly, ba397a2a00 we couldn’t 46b854d969 help but d62ac1b48d exclaim in 7ec9dfe95e awe.
“The sea! Claire!”
“Wow, it’s been so 99c278fe4d long since I last c96c8598b7 saw the ocean!”dce23e22fc6a5871

Standing next to f23e1912e7 us, Sabrina frowned 418427967c while shading her 288b090ab7 eyes with her fe6bcf7619 hand.
“Seriously? Wearing a dress at 9a5a30f5d7 the beach? Does this even make 533508b70d sense?”3ad1cee71e307efa

Lilianne and I just df85928582 stared at her blankly, acae7d5898 unimpressed by her ever-practicalT-typepersonality showing again.
Realizing the bcdef00a09 mood, Sabrina cecf5b8a72 awkwardly laughed cd61d13d8d and quickly 586a3a0c3e corrected herself.
“Wow… Strolling on 23f5b01419 the beach in 660a9da1d0 a dress sure 6dc8254c3d feels… different. Ha. Ha. Ha.”7de75a8f966151ca

I let out 937bf97dbf a small chuckle c361d1ed58 at her forced 5697f9d542 laughter and looked 8bfa9c70e9 around again.
It wasn’t hard 13fe1276b0 to spot other ec18e7d377 nobles who had 4e03dca284 come to enjoy 26a7ec81bb the beach like 09174ee20c us.
Strangely enough, 93a6f3fd5b they were 9ebbbb2a10 all dressed ab1a098f68 in regular ab30be2a3f clothes or 1f4a98dbd3 formal dresses.2080caa5fd1744bf

Some women 41f1ae66ca wore odd-lookingpumpkin pants, but 8b57b36f42 they didn’t cd96b593f7 exactly look 58677a5ead like swimsuits.
Instead, they resembled undergarments b3497177d6 worn beneath dresses.
Even more 0078ec13e2 bizarrely, some bec0b7ef35 people were 031d3069e4 actually stepping 4601cb76dd into the 66664afeaa water while f98aa0da5c wearing them.a80ab21e022331c8

Watching them curiously, Sabrina 660ec44168 asked me,
“So… I e151aecfea guess they 8f43e9ee1f don’t have a1e6d541d1 swimsuits here?”8456a8f2678485a9

I had b6449d3236 no idea.
I was 0bc001cec7 also someone b57b1fbdf7 who hadtransmigratedinto this eb15be20e4 world, so c8f58044d4 how would 114eef4b5e I know?c0716a7bf0c25736

As I 9285c2acf5 stared at 1111eac637 Sabrina blankly, 0922583e4f Lilianne jumped 2f8553f5b3 in eagerly e20822732c to answer.
“This world doesn’t have 191c7a7d64 the kind of swimsuits 9008f17baf we know yet. That balloon-like underwear? They actually call it f8eb9c73b6 a swimsuit.”d96a253012f0448d

“That’s supposed 6ce35695da to be faf246f7c8 a swimsuit?”
I asked in disbelief, ff10b9d022 and Sabrina muttered next 587dec8a49 to me,
“If you tried swimming ff21085dad in that, you’d get beb2d7b6fa soaked and sink like 116c2ba540 a rock.”24d1313bc65e03b2

Could that be 3e3343551e the reason for fb5a67e16a their design?73a17ab05a633f2b

While we were 2042b54a40 busy making absurd 83bdb9aa63 guesses, Lilianne chuckled e21cf88bc4 and clarified,
“In this world, b33ca90f9d women don’t like f3035aa4cd exposing bare skin 85c8a854d1 while swimming. That’s why ee4da0cca2 most of 23c4d14581 them just aec3c8ce81 sit elegantly da15d5f9f4 on the d83fc6ee9a beach, drinking 56dc37d4e5 tea and 7a375a4490 chatting.”33a1a48092d9ca51

Sabrina looked 737cccf81b at her 3fe277e381 in amazement.
“How do 47e123d0a8 you even 2094a8802d know all 91c455b738 this?”6d3a9aaac1790a53

“I did my ee7604b857 research.”

Just as 3abdd27779 she said, bbb6b1aba3 most noblewomen c799fa4286 on the 337881a877 beach were 30a1da5c8a sitting under 3d6dc1293f parasols, elegantly 5df62f1b95 sipping tea.
Some even 5d31fc338e had full da6533f5c1 tables set 8f77e23902 up, enjoying bbd1fd6f1a an elaborate eb52c763ac tea party.dcf3949a20bb4b9f

Meanwhile, Sabrina and 7ad4589d30 I stood in 07c9705f84 the hot sun, 3d44be39ae relying only on 910e28dbb5 the brims of 77e5117c94 our hats for f899edcade shade.
We watched the 029d01caa6 noble ladies in 17fcb5237f envy.934345aec8ef9555

Then, out 22163af2d0 of nowhere, b4e8dc007b Lilianne clapped 71ec6922b4 her hands d347224a66 twice.
Clap! Clap!c4b7ec6030c24508

Immediately, the marquis family’s 4fd232c6f7 attendants sprang into action.
In the blink of 77504b52ce an eye, they set 91cca39c8f up a parasol and 6d8e3ef847 a luxurious tea table 447b739a83 right in front of 065be2dac6 us.84751e96e61bbe0c

We stood de1406b944 there, dumbfounded, 10e588771c as the 411bbb305e servants swiftly b732b20b46 arranged everything.
Before we knew bfdfead4e4 it, we had 366e01d16b a fully prepared 7d68d655fa tea setup.29793f68cfbc90ca

“Come, let’s sit,” Lilianne 69ecf8676e said naturally, as if a3426bb8c3 it were the most c377d5da81 obvious thing in the ca46de4d60 world.e836aee7553b07af

Still in 1763f9a1e3 a daze, d686f8e6f4 we took b874b4a96a our seats.
Moments later, maids d42641d756 began setting down 52d827bee9 teacups, pouring tea, 7aeb4a491d and serving delicate b0d3c4e76c pastries.1718b13a3976403b

I sipped my tea f4faa53044 absentmindedly before asking,
“But Lilianne, didn’t you 122896a2f0 say swimming at the a021169e24 beach was one of e4b06ec45b your dreams?”8a118e57769c50aa

At that, Lilianne 162506dd54 smiled shyly.
“Yes, it is.”0add0beb6a511daa

Lilianne’s Dream List:244fcc6ee1e811d6

1. Walk through the city with her arms full of designer shopping bags.

2. Have a picnic atCentral Park (?).

3. Go swimming at 031df09012 the beach in 6158ca9974 a real swimsuit.

Sabrina gasped.
“Wait, you mean you’ve d9cdff9515 never actually gone swimming 958c8b5870 at the beach before?”d7e7127dbaddfe63

Lilianne laughed awkwardly.
“I’ve only ever c5f3273e75 dipped my feet ef9f1897f5 in the water. I was 34c97f3f4a always too 1bcf00a8b5 self-conscious, and b5ad011fda I never 9460d15833 really had c0730e531f the time.”d930d508a492632f

Well, to be fair, affd25d230 most people don’t actually 16d4c7b399 swim at the beach 3fdd26e869 once they’re grown up.
Even I d2fc2ed1f7 couldn’t recall dff7bfaabf the last a024d1944a time I 2f213f8b29 had put 71d9bb987c on a 1f9746d21d swimsuit and 6e367bc198 gone swimming.098f2fe36d99f49c

Then Sabrina asked skeptically,
“But… can 79c2d984be we even 9955c0a89c wear swimsuits 72703804a3 here?”f46403a450e3455c

“Of course! I came 761080a8b6 prepared for 4a373af6e7 this!”c9244dd7e44f283f

Once more, the attendants 918830c602 moved swiftly.
A maid 87499af592 brought over 03a1dd66c0 a rolling 8f2682b34a clothing rack, d901158991 while others 42a79ae130 carried large 2df0156b9a white fabric f8f0eb3c5f panels.bedd960e196c0f91

Before we could even d97dd760a0 process what was happening, 9582d94847 a makeshift changing booth 50383bf6e2 was set up beside 61f8fd4005 us.
It was nothing more 524495bdd8 than some fabric draped 6c8ca2cd68 over a frame, but b98b7454a7 still…7e56d18e0e528309

Sabrina looked e3b9c1fa52 at it bbfdc0616f doubtfully.
“Wait… don’t af5dc3d396 tell me dd38d81231 we’re supposed 2fb5daf7ff to wearthose?”
She gestured toward 4c696c6f55 the noblewomen wading 5005fb6262 into the water bebe135234 in theirpumpkin pants.70574cbfd2be2648

Lilianne smirked 2972dca80f and wagged 8075de72c6 her finger.
“No way. I’ve already 42ad224c25 prepared everything. Just go inside!”bc5b4ba19a1b3a48

Before we could protest, 49dbbc811c the maids quickly pulled 93921e1aee us into the changing bb56be2eb6 booths.
We barely had time 6e64b63e0d to react before they 1024f60295 stripped off our dresses de0e308ed1 and dressed us in 316f8a2d56 something new.afc35f60782fd9c3

When I finally 86ab86e87d came to my 112cfa3f14 senses, I found 1fef8c7229 myself standing in 7a1ca70aeb front of a 7ed2f258bc full-length mirror.

Lilianne’s swimsuit 63000a9534 was a 976946da19 perfect blend 5ed8e88b0c of sexy, d2bc2312ee elegant, and 319719f3e1 graceful.b467c75c1c1f3862

As I stood there, 52043498dc mouth agape, she turned 22f1df9f0d to me with a 60ce918249 mischievous grin.

In the mirror, ef4e6870ae I saw myself a0da942825 blushing furiously in ab2f8c6dbc a dusty rose fe4ec7ac91 bikini.
It had 037482e39d delicate frills 46719c5ac1 and a f65e704d6b few thin 9a83277043 ribbons wrapping 15e28033a7 around my 729c198584 waist, making 563d753f98 it look 031e23c3b6 almost like b8ff50aad0 underwear.

They were long, f7da514f11 flowing silk robes 7457c4ff2e that reached our cbd19c7a5e knees, each in 8687bd9c21 different colors—pink for e4635c20bd me, yellow for fa0a07f87d Lilianne, and purple 02439127a6 for Sabrina.c32b4e25cd242d1b
