55. Maximize publicity effect!
France, who entered the party wearing Andrea’s dress, had a great impact.
Aristocrats participating in the party all looked this way, whispering about dresses and clothing business.
“You seem to have made a strong impression.”
“This is a huge success.”
France took a step with an arrogant face. Again. Again. In the party hall where the silence flowed, only the sound of Frances shoes could be heard.
Upon arriving at the center of the party, the first thing he greeted was the second prince and the third princess.
“Nice to meet you, Princess Descartes. Is that the dress you were talking about yesterday?”
“I didn’t say that for nothing. You deserve to be confident.”
France greets you with a smile and the imperial courtesy.
“Thank you for your interest. We hope you like the costumes we handle.”
“Of course you will like it! I’ve never seen a dress with a design like this in the Empire.”
“Looking at it up close, it’s even more amazing. It makes me want to entrust my dress to the craftsman who made it.”
The prince and the princess continue to baptize with admiration. France wanted to release new information at this time.
“Every garment in our clothing store is made under the direction of the artisan who created it, and on special occasions, the artisan makes it himself.”
France continued with a grin.
“We decided to give presents to the prince and the princess, right? If you come to the Franche Clothing Store in District 13 of the Cartesian Duchy, the artisan will make it for you.”
Oh, the prince shaking her head and the princess taking her eyes off the dress. She is going according to the operation.
“I will make sure to visit the princess’s clothing store.”
“I will go too.”
“Thank you for your interest.”
After finishing the conversation moderately, Frances moved to her seat. Most of them were the first ladies and young girls I met yesterday. Her content was her compliments on her dress and her interest in the Franche clothing store.
And.
“France.”
I ran into a Duke. Frances bowed her head quietly.
“Is that dress the result?”
“Yes.”
“You weren’t lying when you said you would beat Frieda.”
An expressionless face. Despite the unexpected result, the duke’s face did not change at all. Can’t you just give me a little laugh
“As promised, we will fully support the business.”
“Thank you. We will promote it to live up to expectations even more.”
“Grateful is the achievement you have made. To have more confidence.”
I would believe that it was not a conversation between a daughter and a father, but a conversation between an employee and the manager.
‘In the midst of this, Eden and Line next to me don’t look good.’
I wonder if Frances did not like the success of her business. Those guys too. I’m afraid I can’t support my younger brother, so I can’t believe he’s making that kind of expression.
“Then there are a lot of people to meet, so I’ll leave. Don’t look forward to the future.”
The duke moved her place to meet another noble. Eden stared at Frances for a moment with sharp eyes, then followed the Duke.
But it wasn’t a line.
“Where did you get that dress from?”
“This is a dress made at my workplace.”
“Are you telling me to believe that now?”
Line’s face is distorted, and his temples and arms wriggle. He must have known that France’s business would surely fail.
“You must be lying that the dress you bought at Frida was made at your place of business.”
That doesn’t sound like something else.
“Will I tell a lie that will soon be discovered?”
“If you haven’t learned anything, you have a chance.”
“You talk harshly.”
“That makes no sense!”
Line continued talking with a huff.
“A kid with no education and no experience brought something like this from his first business?”
“Maybe I had a flair for business. Are your eyes different?”
“… ….”
The line glaring at Frances with her eyes shallowly open. The atmosphere is solemn.
“There are not only a couple of suspicious things. Starting with rumors about the Duke of Persia, breaking off marriage talks, and even this project. I can’t believe what you did.”
What is it? Did he notice that too? He doesn’t seem as quick-witted as Seldas.
“You were lucky this time, so don’t do nonsense anymore. Because Eden and I are watching your progress. If you ever get into an accident, know that you really don’t have a chance.”
Poof. A line on the way to just say what you have to say and turn your back. Why are they so anxious because they can’t eat France? And what is ji, is it an opportunity? What a funny kid.
‘Is there any other reason why I hate Francesco?’
Said Frances. She said that her mother died at the same time she was born. That’s why he hates himself.
‘Is that enough?’
There must be a reason for doing that sh*t even after you’ve passed adulthood. If you are still hating and persecuting just for that reason, then you are saying that you are a serious idiot.
‘I don’t know if I’ll have a chance to find out.’
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand it, so I asked Frances.
“Princess. But why does that person hate the princess so much?”
“Didn’t I tell you before? I’m her mother…….”
“I don’t think that’s the only reason. Do you have anything else to tell?”
Frances tilted his head.
“Okay. If not, I don’t know either. I’ve been like that since I was a child.”
Um. There are no clues to infer. You have to look into Eden or Line’s head to know.
‘The operation may be involved, but… ….’
I can’t spend the time I don’t have on them. I’m also busy raising France. What do you do when you know the stories of bastards who are nothing more than troublemakers?
“But why?”
“It’s just a little weird.”
“Is that weird?”
“No. Please forget.”
“What, I wonder.”
Well, but I’ll find out if I get a chance someday. I’m not going to go looking for that opportunity myself.
“Anyway. We have some time left until His Majesty’s arrival, so let’s go see the other nobles. You have to promote it properly.”
I said yes and she followed her.
The first aristocrat I met was a place where the first ladies and young girls used to frequent the Frida clothing store. It was a meeting centered on the count family.
“Princess, your dress is really beautiful!”
“What you said yesterday was true!”
“Can I get a dress like that if I go to the princess’s clothing store?”
Aristocrats who are trying to get some konggomul while showering them with compliments. Frances smiled and answered kindly.
“France clothing store is always open, so please visit us. It will be good for first ladies and young girls to use. It handles multiple dresses.”
Aristocrats whose faces turned bright after hearing France’s words. After that, the conversation continued. The subject was related to France’s clothing store.
“I’m going to change my seat for now. I need to meet other people.”
“Oh yes! Thank you, princess! I will definitely visit District 13 of the Duchy!”
I moved my seat again, met various nobles, and continued to talk about business. And after a while
“Whoa, let’s get some rest now.”
“Yes, can I bring you something to drink?”
“No, that’s fine.”
Whoa. Frances takes a deep breath and catches her breath.
“However, His Majesty the Emperor does not enter. It seems like some time has passed.”
Sure. I took out my pocket watch and checked the time. It was close to 4 o’clock. Much later than planned.
“Maybe something happened?”
“No way. If it’s really like that, the whole empire will be shaken.”
Hmm. I mean, I feel kind of insecure.
“However, His Highness the Crown Prince and the Holy Lady are nowhere to be seen.”
“I see. I thought that if it was the saintess, she would immediately speak to her.”
Something is strange. No matter how much time passed, the emperor did not enter, and the prince, who should be leading the party first, was nowhere to be seen. Somiredo as a bonus.
‘Is it related to the fact that the emperor hasn’t arrived yet?’
It’s a bit strange that Somire isn’t even visible. Are you sure you’re not up to something? A feeling of insecurity overwhelms me.
‘My head hurts recently because of Somire.’
I looked around and looked around. He overheard the conversations of nobles coming from all over the place.
―Has it been peaceful?
―Princess Descartes came with a great dress.
―What are you going to do? In the princess’s business……
―I need to invest. Because now is the cheapest time.
― That Princess Descartes is, as rumored, her crazy b*tch.
The most talked about is France’s business. And nothing but good-byes. In the meantime, I heard Asil’s voice cursing France.
‘There’s nothing particularly strange… ….’
Still, you can’t let your guard down. As long as I know that Somire is strange, I don’t know what to do.
It was then.
-His Majesty the Emperor enters!
Knock! The huge arched door opened and the knights in golden armor split left and right. And, in between, the emperor walked.
Blonde hair reminiscent of a lion’s mane. Sharp, dark eyes. A large body that cannot be thought of as a middle-aged person. You can feel the dignity from the way you walk.
‘It’s amazing to see it in real life after seeing it only in games.’
It looks the same as the graphic. Maybe it’s because he received a lot of quests from the emperor, so he feels friendly.
“Your Majesty has finally entered.”
“Shouldn’t we go say hello?”
“I have to go with the Duke. You wait here for a while.”
France got up from her seat and headed to the place where Duke Descartes was. The duke seemed to welcome France, but Eden and Rein frowned and looked at each other with contempt.
‘They’re always the same.’
Well, you can leave the rest to Frances. I’ve been doing it so far, so I’m sure you can do it well. Besides, the empress will show interest in the dress first.
‘I should be eating party food.’
I took a plate, prepared only meat, and sat down at the table. She watched Frances frantically stuffing food into her mouth.
‘Hmm?’
Inje Bonnie, Somire and the crown prince are behind the empress next to the emperor. Were you together? Aren’t you doing something weird?
‘I’ll have to listen to the conversation just in case.’
I focused all my attention on hearing. Then, the conversation between the emperor and the nobles was heard in detail.
―Meet the sun of the empire.
―Nice to meet you, Duke of Persia, Duke Descartes.
Contrary to what I was worried about, the conversation that flows is normal. It was all about greetings and asking about the latest situation. Judging from the fact that Crown Prince and Somire just said hello and moved, it seems they didn’t do anything strange.
After the conversation with the dukes, who are the backbone of the imperial society, the empress next to her, as expected, took an interest in France’s dress.
―Princess Descartes, your dress is really impressive. Is this a new product from Frida?
–No. This is the result of the clothing business I started this time.
-Is that true? It’s on a different level from the dresses I’ve seen so far.
―If Her Majesty wishes, I will prepare a gift for you by telling the craftsman of our clothing store.
Looking at the flow of the conversation, it seems to be going well. Our advertising models are the Empress, the 2nd Prince, and the 3rd Princess. These are the three. If you don’t succeed, you just have to hit it.
Even after that, the business talk went well. The Empress showed great interest in her dress, and when she said that she would even give her a present, she felt good about it.

After the conversation ended, Frances walked towards me with a smile.
“It went well. Her Majesty also said that she would visit our clothing store.”
“Awesome. Rumors will spread throughout the social world in the future.”
“It would be perfect if you showed the building as well. Because it’s the first appearance I’ve ever seen in this empire.”
Is it finally time to put the money away? It took a lot of time and a lot of work just to sew the first button.
“Now all I have to do is sweep the money.”
“Yes. You will finally see the results of your first project.”
Me and Frances met eyes. I could tell that they were trying to hold back the burst of joy from each other.
“I want to shout right now, but I can’t because I’m the head of the party.”
“Then shall we even clink glasses?”
“Then. It is a moment to celebrate our first start.”
Damn it! We clinked champagne glasses and hit one shot. It tastes like this
“Jin.”
“Yes?”
“Thank you.”
“… Suddenly?”
I wonder if it’s because I’m a little drunk. Frances, his face flushed red, looked at me with a light smile. A gaze that somehow felt unknown.
“My life started to change after you came. It will change a lot in the future.”
The slow approaching hand calmly stroked my cheek, and then went down little by little until it came to my collarbone.
“Please take good care of me from now on, a prince just for me?”
