Chapter 105: Chapter 105

Right after having a small lunch, Feng was rushed into her room by Lana once again.

“But... I’m already ready,” she watched as her maid run around in her room preparing things for her to wear.

Lana shushed her and held up two gowns. “Is this the one you fancy or this?” she held up another red one.

Feng confusedly glanced at her white gown. “Can’t I wear the one I’m wearing?”

“No, no, miss, this is day outfit. You need to change into your evening gown,” Lana chided. “Miss you will be the focus of many powerful mage and prestigious warriors. You have to dress to impress,”

Feng Mei pouted softly. ‘I guess it’s the responsibility that comes with being a lady of a prestigious family in this world.’ she reluctantly pointed at the red dress. “That one.”

Its bodice was completely covered with red gems that were polished to sparkle. It was eye blinding actually. But the bottom half, though was very simple. The ruffles were minimum but its translucent ribbons were placed at the bottom half of the dress.

.....

Feng held it up. It was full length, covering her feet fully.

“Oh, miss, it’s going to look wonderful! I will bring you matching accessories,” she happily ran out of the closet.

Feng gently touched the dress. It was made of soft chiffon lace at the bottom. ‘These kinds of flowy dresses this must be in trend now....’

Soon Lana came running back with a lot of boxes that Feng did not even know existed.

Feng glanced behind her at the closet. ‘How many stuff is in there. How much did lady Hiliana spend on this? Oh, dear god. I feel so pressured,’

“This one will look wonderful with this.” Lana took out a few feathers. “Oh I’ve got rubies that match this dress.” She carefully lifted the box to her.

Feng opened it. The necklace was designed so delicately with red gemstone flowers covering its expanse. She picked it up. it didn’t even feel heavy and bulky.

“This is clear cut rubies. I heard lady Parlov sent of the specialist to have it made.” She carefully took it from her hands and placed it over Feng’s neck. “It looks perfectly splendid.”

Feng glanced at her own reflection. The red rubies contrasted so much with her now fair skin. She gently caressed it. “It does look beautiful,’

But somehow, a small amount of guilt stuck to the back of her mind.

‘I did not deserve all this. I did not deserve to be treated to grandly. Wasn’t this game made to punish me? Why does it feel like it’s rewarding me? Every task was carefully crafted to create small changes in my life.’

‘Glimmer of redemption’. Was it really just a revenge game?’

“Look at the time, miss, we have to get ready.” Lana urged her to the bathroom.

“Wait, where... why?”

“To bathe of course,”

Feng gasped dramatically. “AGAIN?!”

After two hours of scrubbing and wiping, Feng came out of the bathroom sparkly clean. She glanced at the mirror with a dull look. ‘Ten layers of my skin down the drain. How many more layers will I lose if this is my daily routine?’

“We have to do your hair, your dress, there is so much to be done,”

Feng frowned. ‘I stand corrected. This game was definitely made to torture me! Mister Ling, why did you hate me so!!!’

Lana was wiping down her hair once again.

This time Feng could not keep her eyes open. She was tired from all that exercise. She leaned her head back onto her stomach and slept off.

“Miss... miss....” a soft voice whispered gently next to her ear.

Feng slowly blinked awake. Her stomach was slightly growling. “W-what time... need food,”

“It’s time for the evening ball, Miss.” Lana handed her a small plate filled with biscuits. “Eat less; you might have to dance a lot. All that spinning is not of help to keep these down,”

Feng nodded. She glanced down to see her already in the dress. “How did I get into this dress?”

“I helped you in miss.... is it wrong of me to?” she anxiously wring the bottom of her dress.

“No... but how did you do it without waking me up?” Feng exclaimed in shock. This woman works wonders. ‘Wait, doesn’t this mean I don’t have to do much? I can’t just sleep every time she changes me. That’s good,’

“I’m sorry miss, I didn’t mean to do this..”

“Hey it’s okay Lana. I was startled, but I think you should continue doing that. I don’t wish to be awake next time I’m getting ready.” Feng happily stood up.

“Wait miss” Lana placed the ruby necklace on her neck and handed a red glove. “Enjoy your evening miss~”

“Thank you Lana. You are the best.” Feng kissed her cheeks softly.
