RETURN OF THE FEMALE KNIGHT

24. You're So Beautifull

Opera was a popular pastime enjoyed by many an aristocrat. Lalisa had attended a few herself. Tickets commanded a broad range of prices depending on the vantage point, with the price of a regular seat almost equal to that of a commoner's monthly wage. Nevertheless, many aristocrats went to see the opera and performances were often sold out.

However, even without the high price, it didn't make sense for Lalisa and Jungkook to meet at such a place. Jungkook was aware that Lalisa wanted to hide their relationship before the ball, and she was curious why he chose the opera. While it was a place where aristocrats sometimes gathered in private, regardless of their efforts they were sure to bump into anyone from the entrance to their seats.

'...What the hell are you thinking?'

Lalisa had not expected Jungkook to ignore her request to not be seen together. If that was the case, she would've gotten a robe back then too.

As Lalisa was ruminating over her thoughts, Jimin, who was was waiting for her reply, opened his mouth to speak first.

"If there is nothing else, I'll take my leave."

"Oh, wait one moment. Can you see if there's a shop in the capital city where I can get a dress?"

"I'll find one if you wish, but you'll see someone more suitable than me who you can ask."

"Someone more suitable...?"

Lalisa's face turned to mild curiosity, and Jimin elaborated.

"Yes. I'm talking about the General."

"How does the prince know about that?"

Jungkook was known to have been on the battlefield since he was young, and he had only been in the capital for a short time. He didn't seem like the type of person to know anything about fashion or dresses.

"You'll meet and hear the story about the General in person. That's all I can say."

Jimin saved his words if he had no intention of explaining anything else. Lalisa knew she would get no more answers from him, so she simply nodded her head. She would find out when she went to the opera tonight.

"I'll take my leave then."

"Of course."

There was no reason for Lalisa to keep Jimin here any longer. As soon as he was allowed, he disappeared out of the window in an instant. It was all becoming very familiar to Lalisa.

She was finally left alone in her room. Lalisa let out a long sigh and composed her thoughts.

She heard footsteps running towards her room, and suddenly the door was flung open. It was Roseanne who barged in without knocking.

"Sister!"

Lalisa was about to scold Roseanne for her rudeness until she saw the intense expression on her face.

"What's the matter?"

"I heard the dresses for the ball were completely ruined. Is that true?"

"Ah."

When Lalisa heard of the incident she didn't mention it to Roseanne, worried that her sister wouldn't be able to fall sleep. It seems she finally learned about it.

"Roseanne, you know..."

Lalisa began to sweat for fear of Roseanne's impending disappointment. Lalisa briefly explained that the maid Joy was alone in the luggage carriage, and supposedly tore the dresses and fled. Lalisa didn't mention Dahyun. The details surrounding her weren't clear yet.

"So what do we do now? Can we not go to the ball anymore?"

"It's too early to say. Right now, I'm trying to find out it there are any available dress shops that can take orders."
