Aric - " ( Whispered ) How can it be possible? I know clearly that you put on make up. "

Elina - " ( Whispered ) You're shocked, aren't you? Actually I used the latest make up things of future, which is water resistance. Aren't I brilliant? ( With a beautiful smile ) "

Aric - " ( Whispered ) Thank God. You know, I was worried to death. "

Elina - " ( Whispered ) There is no fear, when I am here. Well geniuses have great minds, you know. ( With a teasing smile ) "

Aric - " You are unbelievable. ( With a smile ) Start the ceremony. "

Soury - " Wait. I want to ask something, sister."

Elina - " Yes, Concubine Soury. Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough? What are you up to now? "

Soury - " You are thinking too much, sister? I am just asking, who designed your gown. It's too ugly. "

Elina - " ( Calmly ) It's ugly? I don't think so. What about you, my lord? ( Acting Pitiful ) Do you also think the same way as her, husband? Is it too ugly? Sob, sob. "

Aric - " ( With a smile ) Not at all. It's very pretty. "

Everyone talking among themselves - " Yeah, her dress is too pretty. She is looking gorgeous. But it's not our style of dressing. No one wears this design. Wear my foot, no one ever saw this design before. Who made it? I want the same. Who designed it? "

Soury was extremely angry, so, she walked away from the ball room.

Aric - " ( Whispered ) You are a great actor, huh? "

Elina - " ( With a proud smile ) Of course. After all I am the best. "

Aric listened someone talking about the designer.

Aric - " Everyone wants to know, who made it and who designed it, right? But I think it would be better if it stays as a secret. "

Soury came back after listening it. She thought she got a chance.

Soury - " Sorry for interrupting, my king. But they are your people, they will get sad if you hide the good things from them. What do you say sister? "

Elina - " Yes, you are right. They are our people and we shouldn't hide something good. But, husband, doesn't want to make me work. That's why he was hiding. So I should say them the truth. I designed it all by myself and have someone to do the needle work. Are you all satisfy now? "

Everyone - " ( Shocked ) What? ( Whispering ) I can't believe. We don't have a proof. "

Elina heard it.

Elina - " You need proof, right? I am willing to show you the proof. Someone. get me a paper and a pen. "

A servent got the things she asked for. Then she made even more beautiful party wear, gown with the combination of ancient and modern style. Then everyone believed her. Aric and Dicky felt happy and proud. After that the party begun without Soury, cause she went to her palace after Elina showed the proof that she was a real designer. Finally, the party ended. Everyone returned to their places. Dicky and Aric went to Queen's Residence with Elina. While going there, Elina got ill and started vomiting blood in the middle of the road. Dicky was shocked. Aric sent Dicky back to his residence and took Elina to her residence. Then he called for the Imperial doctor.

Elina - " There is no need to call the Imperial doctor. I am fine. "

Aric - " ( With a worried face ) Are you sure? "

Elina - " Absolutely. "

Aric didn't want her to know that he also knows the truth. So he agreed. He left her to let her have a good rest. But he couldn't sleep all night. He was only thinking about the illness of Elina and her situation.
