Episode 132
A faint burst of laughter erupted at the child’s excessive maturity.
And so, Airi entered the Ortejo Family’s reception room together with the grandmothers, Serafin, and Berry.
“Princess Rashe always follows new trends.”
“Oh my.”
New trends.
‘Taekwondo…!’
…But even Airi didn’t think the princess would like taekwondo.
As Airi pondered deeply, another grandmother beside her added a word.
“She’s someone who must have everything be the latest. I heard she’s currently obsessed with avant-garde styles. But child.”
“Yes.”
“Actually, what that person likes ‘right now’ doesn’t have much meaning.”
Despite saying words that could be seen as criticism of Princess Rashe, the noblewoman still maintained an elegant expression.
After fanning herself a few times with perfect etiquette, she spoke kindly.
“Rather than being captivated by each trend that person leads, it would be better to stick to your own way of life. That would look more beautiful in that person’s eyes.”
“Oh my…?”
“Respect the dress code of the party venue, but you don’t necessarily need to follow the capital’s trends. Those who follow trends are merely second-rate followers.”
“Gasp!”
“To become someone who leads, Airi must do as she likes. Think about what you’ve truly loved for the past five years.”
“I like things that are fluffy and soft and really really delicious!”
“Yes, then let’s do that.”
“But what if Princess doesn’t like what I like?”
Seeing Airi’s worried expression, the grandmothers competed to speak.
“If someone doesn’t understand our little puppy’s sincere aesthetics, wouldn’t it be fine not to become friends with them?”
“Oh.”
“Then, come here.”
“Yes!”
Airi snuggled onto the lap of the grandmother with the plumpest thighs.
The grandmother chosen by Airi smiled a victor’s smile so wide her mouth nearly split and said.
“Then shall we choose a dress and prepare gifts now?”
People who had spent at least 30 years in social circles.
Ten seasoned people gathered to begin preparing solely for Airi’s debutante.
* * *
Inside Princess Rashe’s party venue, the atmosphere was bustling.
One minute before the appointed time.
All the children had gathered except for exactly one person.
Princess Rashe looked around the gathering and said.
“Is there someone who hasn’t arrived yet?”
She spoke lightly in a roundabout way, even though she knew exactly one seat was empty.
The children who had been invited to Airi’s party and had developed some fondness for Airi said.
“It seems there are some who live a bit far from the town house district.”
“When entering the Imperial Palace for the first time, there’s also inspection to go through.”
It was when Princess Rashe looked toward the doorway with an uncomfortable expression.
‘I told them to wear white dresses, but they’re all just white dresses with ruffles.’
She could even guess which boutique they bought their clothes from.
‘How trite.’
The Ortejo Grand Duke’s daughter would probably be the same. It was when Princess Rashe briefly swallowed a yawn.
With a light knock, the last child appeared.
The appearance of a strong northern child in the social circle of delicate capital children.
But…
Princess Rashe narrowed her eyes.
Only Airi’s dress code was different.
Right now, Airi looked exactly like a round, fluffy yarn doll.
‘Did she deliberately wear an unusual dress because she heard I like leading trends?’
…I like unique trends, but I don’t like people who can’t handle the basics.
The princess’s eyes narrowed.
“Welcome, Grand Duke’s daughter Ortejo. But what’s this? Did the Grand Duke’s daughter not hear about today’s dress code? The dress code is white dress.”
Airi bent one knee and said sweetly.
“That’s right! I also wore a white dress. It’s white!”
Princess Rashe narrowed her eyes.
“I mean it’s not a dress. That’s…”
Princess Rashe’s close associates and children seeing Airi for the first time frowned.
“That’s right. It’s just yarn, isn’t it?”
Then, Airi grasped her skirt hem tightly with both hands and spun around in a circle.
The skirt hem, carefully hand-knitted from neck to hem, fluttered lovingly.
At first glance, it seemed like a very unusual dress, but seeing the white wave patterns flutter like ruffles…
‘It is cute and suits her well.’
No, that’s not the point.
As Princess Rashe looked at Airi in silence, public opinion split in half.
Malenda carefully added her words.
“From what I can see, it definitely seems like a dress too.”
The children who had participated in Airi’s party nodded, while those who hadn’t participated looked puzzled.
Then, Princess Rashe said to Airi.
“Come closer.”
“Yes.”
Naturally, the Grand Duke’s daughter’s seat was next to Princess Rashe.
Airi began walking with small bouncing steps.
But how strange.
Everyone looked puzzled.
She was just an ordinary baby wearing a cozy baby doll dress like yarn.
Her cheeks were just a little plumper than others.
But when they met Airi’s gentle and warm eyes, their hearts strangely felt cozy.
It was like a mysteriously purifying feeling.
Suddenly, Princess Rashe’s eyes, which had only been bored, sparkled with interest.
“Yes, come sit here. Princess.”
* * *
Airi, sitting right next to Princess Rashe, smiled brightly.
‘I just quickly purified some really really strong mist!’
As expected of a 4-star hero!
Airi, who praised herself, glanced at Princess Rashe.
She could see something like sparkling clouds around the princess too.
‘Fresh green puppy-shaped?’
She was just carefully exploring the mist around the princess.
Princess Rashe spoke elegantly.
“Looking again, it is white.”
“Yes, that’s right!”
“It’s a bit unusual though…”
The princess’s gaze was fixed on Airi’s dress.
‘Well, I knitted lots of yarn with the grandmothers!’
Airi giggled to herself.
A very unique outfit that Airi absolutely loved!
It was a knitted wool sweater dress that had been carefully crafted.
Princess Rashe glanced at Airi repeatedly before speaking.
“…Uh, ahem. Anyway, the reason I called you all here today is because my companion Miss Malenda has completely recovered.”
“To think you’d even throw a recovery celebration party for us. Thank you, Your Highness.”
“Congratulations, Miss Malenda!”
The innocent children each offered their words.
Airi also beamed brightly at Malenda.
“Congratulations on getting healthy!”
“…Thank you, Lady Airi.”
Though Malenda didn’t know she had recovered thanks to Airi, she still felt grateful toward her and spoke carefully.
Airi somehow felt like a hero, her heart feeling all fluffy and warm.
‘What comes next?’
Airi had saved Malenda.
Now it was time to save Princess Rashe from the Magi!
‘Since she’s a bad friend who had direct contact with Cardinal Ibenna, it won’t be easy.’
But wasn’t it said that opportunity comes to those who are prepared?
“Everyone’s hands look quite heavy.”
This meant there would be a gift exchange.
Airi was the first to lift up her present.
“Yes! It’s heavy!”
Though her way of speaking was somewhat free-spirited…
Airi pulled out a round ball of yarn from her gift bag.
What her plump, chubby hands showed was…
“A sweater?”
“Yes. I wore lots and lots of sweaters. I think as the weather gets really, really cold, the Capital City will need sweaters too! So I wanted to give sweaters as gifts to everyone here!”
The moment she heard those words, Princess Rashe’s eyes widened.
“Ah, I see. So that’s why you came in crochet fashion. Now I understand.”
An expression of interest appeared on the Princess’s face.
‘What’s crochet?’
Airi didn’t know much about fashion and such things.
‘The Grandmothers just dressed me up.’
Warmly and cozily, befitting a child.
In the style Airi loved most.
The Grandmothers had said that social trends could wait until she became an adult much later, and that children should just think about playing happily.
They also told her that sincerity would get through!
That’s why Airi attended the party wearing the fluffy, puppy-like wool clothes she loved most.
“So you’re saying that in your opinion, this crochet style that was popular long ago will become popular again?”
She didn’t really understand what that meant!
But somehow it felt like she should nod, so after nodding her head vigorously.
“What an interesting thought. Yes, fashion does come and go in cycles. Since old trends come back around…”
Airi looked at Princess Rashe’s sparkling eyes and smoothly handed over the sweater she had knitted so diligently.
“Hmm, hmm.”
Princess Rashe’s gaze was fixed on the sweater Airi had offered.
‘Huh? The pattern is…’
