Lia covered her mouth with one hand and yawned.

"ha……"

Gwen stood before her with a very serious expression, her hands clasped together, her face filled with deep sorrow, and said:

"Leah!"

"I can only rely on you now."

Leah put one hand on her hip, looked Gwen up and down, sighed, and looked extremely helpless.

"You called me over here so early in the morning just for this?"

"You're getting this worked up just because my brother is going to treat you to dinner?"

"Please, wake up!"

Gwen pursed her lips, her feelings incredibly complicated.

"but……"

"It would be too impolite of me to go wearing this."

She spread her arms and looked down at the light knight's armor she was wearing.

Unfortunately, Gwen has never owned a dress of her own, let alone put on makeup.

Even at the last banquet, she was forced by Kevlar to wear makeup and her old dress.

But if her sister Kevlar were here, she wouldn't be so troubled.

Leah was speechless, looking at Gwen with a disappointed expression:

“You would never have thought this way before.”

If it were the old Gwen, she would have simply rejected Victor with a cold expression.

Unlike now, it's behaving like a...

A young girl who has just started dating and confirmed her relationship, and is completely at a loss when asked to go on a date.

"What kind of spell did Viktor cast on you?"

Lia stretched out a hand and covered her forehead.

"Lia! I can't break my promise!"

Gwen patted Leah's shoulders heavily and looked at her solemnly.

That heavy blow almost sent Leah to her death.

She struggled to pull Gwen's hands off her body and held them in her own.

"This concerns a knight's beliefs!"

"?"

Leah looked at Gwen with a puzzled but deeply shocked expression.

What does this have to do with the knight's beliefs?

Are you sure you're not just making up an excuse to brush me off?

Talk is talk, and make a fuss is make a fuss.

Since Gwen asked for help, she naturally had to help.

She took a pocket watch out of her pocket and glanced at the time.

"Let me see... including the current time, it will be evening."

"Okay, we should make it in time."

She closed her pocket watch and said to Gwen.

"Have your servants take your measurements. I'm going to hire a few mages at a high price."

Gwen was slightly taken aback.

Why would I need to find a mage?

Lia sighed wearily.

"Is your brain just all muscles? It's too late to find a tailor now."

"Although mages charge higher prices, they can use magic to make more beautiful clothes, and it will be much faster."

"Oh, oh..."

Gwen nodded obediently, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"And makeup and stuff, well, I'll help you with that myself."

Looking at Gwen's naturally beautiful face, Leah felt a little troubled.

Despite being a seasoned knight, she still maintains incredibly smooth skin, giving her a radiant and energetic appearance.

In short, I'm extremely envious.

Lia reached out and placed her hand on Gwen's shoulder, intending to force Gwen into the chair.

Even with all his strength, he couldn't press Gwen down.

Gwen tilted her head, feeling somewhat puzzled, but then saw Leah raising her eyebrows with a forced smile.

"I said..."

"Could you please cooperate?"

"Ah, okay...okay."

Gwen quickly sat down and sat upright in front of the mirror.

Lia sighed and took out a makeup box from her waist bag.

"Close your eyes."

Gwen obediently closed her eyes.

I felt a faint itch on my face, and someone rubbed and painted on it for a while.

Um......

This feeling was just like when Kevlar did her makeup.

I feel very uncomfortable.

Then she heard Lia's voice ring out beside her.

"By the way, Uncle Angus is dead, and you are now the Earl."

"They should have the freedom to handle their own marriage arrangements by now."

Gwen closed her eyes, remained silent, and did not speak.

In the silence, Lia did not ask any further questions.

As if by unspoken agreement, the two did not continue the topic.

After a while, Lia put away the makeup box and clapped her hands.

"Okay, that's settled then."

Gwen opened her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror.

...

Westlife Restaurant.

This is the most luxurious restaurant in the entire empire.

Its chain stores have sprung up in many cities across the empire.

The Westlife restaurant has a very consistent style and layout.

The entire building resembles a giant castle, with each room serving as a private suite offering stunning views of the city's dazzling nighttime lights.

The soothing sound of a cello flowed through the dimly lit restaurant, while the flickering candlelight illuminated the unique color of the golden nanmu wood.

The bright colors reflected by the white cloth on the table added an extra touch of mystery.

The crystal pendant hanging from the ceiling reflects wonderful ripples of light.

An elegant and tranquil atmosphere permeated the restaurant.

Many nobles would often come here to dine.

This is a very good way to prove their noble status.

Although it always requires a long reservation to come to the restaurant.

For many consecutive days, the appointments were often fully booked.
