"But even though they're not used to it, a large part of the fashion world does recognize this development and is enthusiastically praising it."
"Forget it, never mind. This kind of noble lady has nothing to do with me anyway."
As the two chatted, they talked about the various situations on the front line.
After a series of setbacks in Clansia, the Empire's offensive became more conservative and it began to build various fortifications, preparing to maintain the occupied areas for a long time and gradually annex them as part of the Empire.
Moreover, in order to enhance the stability of the occupied areas, more soldiers were recruited from within the empire to suppress and monitor the situation in the occupied areas.
Faced with this situation, Clancy launched a counterattack. After initially reclaiming some territory, they also began to encounter various fortresses that held out. Relying on newly manufactured cannons, the Empire held these strongholds and granted the defending nobles great autonomy. If they held out for a certain period of time, the land would be permanently granted to the family as a fiefdom.
With this incentive, many great nobles mobilized various resources and managed to barely defend these cities under the attack of Clancy.
After suffering many casualties in the siege, the Clansian military began several large-scale discussions, and finally the offensive strangely eased and no longer carried out the siege regardless of sacrifice.
"Perhaps the military is preparing something special. I've heard from some old classmates that a lot of supplies covered in black cloth have been moving along the main line recently."
"We just need to fulfill our duties well, trust in the leadership of our country, and believe in the teachings of the wise men."
As they talked, their voices gradually became quieter. One of them seemed to have gone to sleep, while the other was on night shift and brightened the lights a little more.
Sitting in the cold detention room, the blonde lady raised her head slightly and looked at the faint light coming through the window above her head, which was the afterglow of the starry sky at night.
Her face was slightly clear in the cold light. If you looked closely, you would recognize that she was none other than Lettice, the fashion designer and alchemy master who had become very popular in the capital in recent years.
After gaining wealth and fame, this beautiful and talented woman quickly attracted a lot of attention, and countless young talents pursued her fiercely, including artists, talented people, military officers, wealthy people, and so on.
In the dazzling pursuit, she was able to refuse at first, but later she was finally moved by one of the tenacious suitors and agreed to become his lover.
But this relationship did not have a happy ending. After becoming lovers, the man began to reveal many of his hidden qualities and was eager to have sex with Lettice.
But as the daughter of a wealthy family, Lettice soon woke up from her love slumber, realized something was wrong, and repeatedly rejected the man. Finally, the man, angry and embarrassed, was about to use violence, but Lettice directly threw him away with a spell, and the relationship ended there.
After injuring someone during a conflict, Lettice was detained by the police and released after a week. Since then, her personality has changed, and she seems to no longer believe in beautiful things. Her designs increasingly incorporate dark elements, and her beautiful face is now covered in smoky makeup.
Yesterday, when she and her other sisters were shopping on the street, they met a conservative old man who made wanton comments about her, saying that she was indecent and designed some devilish clothes that were immoral.
Faced with such words, the fashion designer responded with sarcastic remarks, which triggered another quarrel. In the end, she bought a single ring for herself and each of her sisters in a jewelry store to show that she would never marry and to highlight her unique style.
Although outsiders saw this woman as unique and strong-willed, at this moment, as Lettice looked at the ring on her finger, she sighed deeply.
She once lived a luxurious and noble life, experienced many difficulties and hardships, and achieved the scenes of her past dreams. However, there seemed to be a piece of unsettledness in her heart, and she still sat in a cold corner, without any warmth.
What kind of people and things are you really looking for?
Filled with doubts and sadness, she leaned against the wall and fell asleep again. In her dream, she seemed to return to her carefree childhood and recalled the happy and simple life in the academy.
Everyone sang together to celebrate her birthday.
They called out their names, 'Lettice, Lettice...'
She didn't know how much time had passed in her sleep when a voice woke her up.
"Letis, someone is looking for you." The voice of the police officer came from outside the railing of the detention room.
Then, the sound of booted footsteps entered the narrow corridor.
