The Festival

“Umm…we don’t have plain commoner clothes here, My Lady,” the maid replied, sounding very apologetic.

“Huh? But the other clothes that I have would stand out too much,” I said with worry.

“We do have some clothes that might work. It won’t make you look like a plain commoner but perhaps a slightly wealthy commoner wouldn’t be so bad?” the maid suggested with a smile.

Well, it wasn’t like I had a choice right now. I guess that would have to do.

“Ok…let’s go with that,” I replied kindly.

“Ok, My Lady. Please wait a moment while I prepare the right outfit for you,” the maid said before bowing to me.

She left for a while and came back with what I supposed was the ‘wealthy commoner girl’ outfit. With the help of the other maids, she carefully dressed me in the outfit. After they were done with the clothes, they moved on to the jewelry. Although they helped me pick out more modest jewelry that what I normally wore, I still thought that it was a bit much.
