Chapter 93
The next day, Vivian skipped her breakfast because she had no appetite before standing right in front of Alexia’s room. Just as if they had already been waiting since before, the maids changed her clothes in an instant and just like usual, Vivian had transformed into Alexia.
Alexia who was just watching her by the side spoke up all of a sudden.
“I’m feeling a bit lonely today, should I go out?”
Upon hearing that, all of the maids widened their eyes before looking at her.
“Go-go out? Where to, My Lady?”
Alexia then retorted to the baffling maid’s question—curtly.
“Where else? Of course—to the Grand Duchy.”
Everyone started murmuring at Alexia’s words. They wondered why would that particular someone keep their silence while Vivian had been all dressed up at that instant?
“Then, does it mean that My Lady will be meeting the Grand Duke personally today?”
“Can’t you even understand my words at all?”
When she heard Alexia’s angry voice, most probably due to getting tired of being bombarded by questions, the maid immediately closed her mouth.
There was no absolute way for a mere maid to know what was going on in their master’s head. The maid peeked at Vivian, who had already been dressed up, before sighing softly—without anyone’s notice.
“Then, instead of this girl, I’ll be preparing My Lady……”
“What are you saying? Just dress her up according to plan.”
“Pardon? But I’m sure My Lady had just said that you will be going there personally.”
When she heard the maid’s voice that was filled with confusion, Alexia nonchalantly gave a smirk.
“That’s right, I’ll go. But I never said that I’ll be going in my own appearance.”
“Pardon?!”
In spite of the others who were already screaming in a state of shock, Alexia remained calm.
“I was planning to disguise myself as a maid for today.”
“However, My Lady—!”
“She already said that there’s nothing to do even when she visits. There won’t be a problem if a maid follows her for a while, right?”
While saying so, Alexia was just keeping her stare intently at Vivian.
The one who was altered into being exactly the same as her. Nevertheless, she was someone who could never be the same in the end. Vivian eventually lowered her gaze from her eyes.
“Isn’t that right?”
“…You are definitely right, My Lady.”
To Vivian’s agreement, no one could actually stop Alexia once again.
Among the already prepared clothes, Alexia was dressed in clothes that were just clean enough. When her hair had been tied up neatly while paired up with her changed clothes, Alexia almost looked the same like a maid who was working there.
After having finished dressing Alexia up, the maid tilted her head—looking a little troubled.
“My Lady, I think there seems to be a problem.”
“What is it?”
“That is……”
The maid who was looking alternately between Alexia and Vivian as if she was at a loss, began to speak ever so carefully.
“When My Lady and Vivian stand together side by side, I think…… the hair color is too apparent.”
That was the main reason why Vivian was selected as Alexia’s substitute anyway, but on the other way around, that quality had become such a hindrance to Alexia at this particular moment. Due to their current situation, she couldn’t just command Vivian to change the color of her own hair. Alexia immediately turned her body—irritatedly somehow.
She then took the medicine, which hadn’t remained much, between the other sorts of medicines. As she gulped down the said medicine, the gorgeous sight of that blazing red color gradually subsided.
“Is this good enough?”
She, who was brimming with confidence, almost looked like Vivian. She appeared exactly like Vivian when she had changed her hair to follow Alexia the other day.
The maids who had been looking intently at Alexia were still having an odd expression on their faces. They felt like something was still missing somehow. There was a trail of elegance in her appearance which was just impossible for a mere maid to be radiating. Her milky white skin and valiant expression had simply made her even more awkward.
A maid who was thinking about it, slowly pushed a small hat right in front of Alexia.
“What’s this?”
“It’s a hat that should be worn by us—the maids—when we go out.”
The small and plain hat had appeared shabby compared to the other hats which had been owned by Alexia. That simple-looking hat was made to be just enough cover from the sun.
“Are you saying that I have to wear this?”
“But if you do not wish to do so, even before you could arrive at the Grand Duchy, everyone will notice that you are disguising yourself, My Lady.”
“But before this, even when I wasn’t wearing this, I could still go out, right?”
“At that time, you could simply avoid the county—these people’s eyes—just by lowering your head, but since you are going to visit the Grand Duchy this time, you should be very careful, My Lady.”
Alexia’s face immediately crumpled at the words of that particular maid. She looked annoyed, but she could help it right now, so she snatched the hat away angrily.
