“She looked absolutely stunning!” Buttercup exclaimed, beaming proudly. She had just spent the morning meticulously dressing Liliette. She added with a chuckle, “At last, all those jewels His Lordship has been hoarding like a dragon are finally serving their purpose.”
The servants gathered around the dining table leaned in closer as Buttercup described Liliette’s accessories, claiming that the pieces she wore today could easily buy a small estate.
“You all know that Her Ladyship isn’t one to take pride in her own looks, don’t you? But this morning, she couldn’t hide her surprise! I was thrilled beyond words,” Buttercup continued, her eyes sparkling. She climbed up onto her chair to demonstrate. “Her hair was braided and coiled into a round bun at the back, like this. And those loose strands—they accentuated the elegant curve of her neck beautifully.”
