Getting ready (3)

"How about your brother become your entourage ?" Father spoke to her after a protracted silence.

"Brother will ?"

Edith turn her head to the left side. He was sitting beside her. His gaze failed to leave her without facing the count and countess face.

"I will."

That was our last conversation in the dinner table, and it just developed naturally. Edith minds wondering around on what happened recently. Everyone was just shocked to see me today, not that I felt wronged. I am not her in the first place.

She lifts her hands in the air, while gazing on an empty ceiling. "Darn it! I want my cellphone back." She's cursing, burying her face with both hands and rolling around on the bed. Stopped on the left side, gazing at the mirror. A beautiful girl staring back at her, her bluish hair, a spotless skin, and a pair of red eyes came into view.

'I would become an idol right away if I had this appearance back in my previous life.' She thought inwardly, closing her views and sleeping, eventually.

On the next morning, Edith exercising at the training ground. Running for five or more laps since morning, Selena standing still on the left training ground, She was accustomed to her new schedules.

Right at that moment, someone shows up in the practice ground. He was Adam, wearing a training suit and holding a wooden sword on his right arm. He has seen her, and Edith recognize him right away.

"Brother!" she waved her hand, stopping mid track while panting her breath. She hung her head down. Resting on both her knees.

"I didn't realize you were exercising..." He stands in front of her. The two of them exchanging gazes.

"I know." Edith smiled, "I am done here, the ground is yours." She stands on both knees, leaving her brothers in the training ground alone.

Her days continued like usual, running, breakfast, reading, and lunch. The only different things happening today is that her maid scheduling beauty treatment from massage, cream bath, relaxing and smoothing her skin as a result, Edith's appearance looks more radiant.

The banquet will start around 7 p.m in the evening, it takes around one hours on the way from the mansion to the palace. She had two hours for preparation at the very least.

"Lets start preparing the dress" Said Selena to the other maids. They moved in unison, there are three maids helping Selena. They pick up the shoes, Jewelries boxes, opening the dressing table, ones of them pulling out a corset but before the maids take it out.

"I am not putting on the corsage." She stated flatly, her dress won't look good in them. Besides her waist slim enough without it. The maids hesitantly put back the corsage. Edith made them turn back, refusing the maids help.

She took her clothes, topless and only wearing her undergarments. She starts putting on the dress, knotted the neck strap and left them hanging behind her open back. Only after that she asks the housemaid to help her pull the skirt strap. They linked it together and let it loose down the skirt.

Selena put the earrings on, then the other maid combing my silky hair. She braided it in tail styles with a loose knot, The other's maid decorating the hair with pearl hairpin from the same Jewelries store. Applying a light makeup as per Edith request, a soft pink lipstick and a shimmering glitter applied on her hairstyle.

The last ones were wearing the transparent black gloves and the heels.

She looks at her reflection in the mirror, ones of the maid consciously praising her.

"You're beautiful, My lady." She was speechless, as well as myself. I looked like a mixed culture between classic and modern, the earrings looks like a needle reflecting a light every time my head made move.

When we're appreciating the result, a knock on the door waking us from the daze.

"Milady, Lord Adams waiting on the downstairs."

said Derrick, the head butler.

"I'll go down, immediately." As I said that, I look at the maid directions. "Thank you for helping me." I smiled at them. They are now bowing their head.

I walked out from my room, I looked at my brother back from the upstairs. He was wearing a black suit that matched mine, maybe he asks the maid what color my dress is.

As he heard my footsteps, he turns around and saw me behind him with a wide eyes.

"Holy Sh•t !" he cusses.

And I grinned.
