THE CROWN'S OBSESSION | LK ADAPTATION

Chapter 4 - Worry

"What do you think about this?"

Rosé asked, picking up the gowns which she had chosen.

The elder Manoban' daughter picked up the dress in her hand and placed it at the front so that Lalisa could decide if it was good enough to be worn at the grand ball.

Lalisa moved forward and looked at the gowns that had been chosen and asked, "What about the red one?"

Compared to the other dresses, the red one stood out the most.

Made of silk and lace with embroidered stonework, she waited as Rosé picked up the dress and turned to look at the mirror.

"I guess it doesn't look bad on me,"

Rosé turned back and forth.

She turned to look at Mr. Choi, who had been waiting on the two girls.

"How much is this one?" she asked him with her expressive green eyes.

"That would cost a whole silver coin,"

Mr. Choi wasn't sure if they could afford a whole silver for a single piece of the gown as there was also Lalisa who was yet to choose her gown.

Even Lalisa wondered if they could afford it but her sister, Rosé, surprised her by saying,

"I will take it. Lisa, why don't you choose one for yourself?" asked Rosé.

"Mr. Choi, could you excuse us for a moment,"

Lalisa requested the man who gave her a nod and left the sisters in the backroom.

The younger girl asked, "Do you have a coin of silver? We still need to get clothes for mother and father."

"Oh, don't worry about that. I saved some money from what I received,"

Answered Rosé who was still looking at the gown that she held in her hand,

"It is not a small gathering. People from different parts of the towns and villages are going to be there. I would like to see our family dressed well. I wouldn't rob my sister and my family from the joy of going to the castle. Is that what you think?"

Rosé looked sad with the thought.

"Of course not! It is just that a coin of silver is too much for us to give for a single gown. I know you aren't like that,"

Said Lalisa with a small frown, "If you say that you have saved enough, then it should be fine."

"You worry for no reason,"

Rosé placed the gown down and started to look for other gowns that were not from the same rack which she had picked for herself,

"We are visiting the castle, therefore, we cannot afford to look like we came from the village."

"I don't think there's anything wrong in the village,"

Lalisa said, searching the gowns herself.

"Nobody said anything is wrong with the village," Rosé laughed,

"Before I was on my way home, I heard Mr. Craigs that he received an invitation to the ball too. So you can tell what kind of people will be there. There are going to be eligible men, you should find one there,"

Advised Rosé to her little sister who didn't know how life worked.

"I think I am fine here,"

Lalisa laughed as her sister Rosé had plans to marry a man from the ball.
