The Villainess Does It With Class

Chapter 152 - A Trip To The Plaza Pt. 2

"Instead of my usual garb, I should probably wear something inconspicuous like peasant clothes..." I noted, interrupting them.

The five stopped what they were doing and turned to me.

"Milady wants to go undercover?" Lily declares.

"Exactly," I said while nodding my head.

Everyone seemed to think within themselves for a while before Erin stepped in.

"Then if it's alright for milady, I can lend you some of mine," was what she said.

"What are you saying! Milady shouldn't wear something shabby!" Mari interjected.

"Let us purchase new ones!" Amy seconded..

Freesia nods her head, "I also agree..."

The five of them, who had all calmed down, got chaotic again. Their topic this time is good quality peasant clothes and where to buy them. It's obnoxious, really, and pretty funny to watch.

"Calm down everyone, goodness! It's fine if it's shabby or old or whatever. You don't need to worry about it," I pacified them.

They are so inclined on giving me the best that it's such a pain sometimes.

"But--" one of them was about to protest but I didn't let them.

"It would be a hassle if you run right now in the capital to buy clothes, you know. Erin can just lend me hers."

There was a pause, a short one, but it's better than them screaming at each other.

"If that's what milady wants..." Erin uttered, succumbing to my whim.

I let out a satisfied smile. Thanks to the heavens it's finally settled.

'Maybe I should invite Kai and Lost too? How about my friends though...'

It would be troublesome to send a letter right now and invite them immediately. They are still busy with their lessons and will require them more time to prepare.

'I can just invite them for tomorrow night then if this goes well...'

"Alright, go and inform George about our plans for tonight. Also, ask Kai if he wants to join us too," I ordered.

"Yes, milady."

"On it, milady."

The five then did what they had to do and I was just waiting for night-time to come. Erin went to her quarters to pick up a dress for me while the others finished their remaining tasks.

That night, I didn't eat dinner. I'm planning to have my fill in the plaza. It would be bad if there weren't going to be food but that would be impossible, anyway. Food is a must in festivals! I also told George to inform my brother and father about my plans when they get home before us so they won't have to worry.

My maids were preparing with me and I got to wear Erin's clothes this time. But I had a little problem...

"Errr..." I grumbled under my breath, adjusting the dress on me.

"You still look beautiful milady!"

"Milady's beauty will shine through no matter what she wears."

I heard their compliments but it didn't reach my ears. I was busy.

"It's kind of tight in the bust part though..." I commented.

"I'm sorry..." Erin whispered.

I looked up at her with furrowed brows, "Why are you apologizing?"
