Chapter 6: A Befitting Dress For The Prophesy Child

**WARNING: Contains humiliation and foul language.

**Alright Now Continuation Of Chapter 6...

At the Lepiliondel family's first waiting room-

The Rose waiting room was a pink and pearl-like color waiting room with golden couches.

This room was Adelina's waiting room. A room only for her and whom she permitted to enter. This also happened to be the room where she would allow her fittings to take place.

Adelina sat on her long pear-colored couch with dark brown borders as she zipped in the white with pink glossy tea cup.

She smiled at the taste of her pineapple tea.

A simple smile that did not fit her luxurious outfit.

Her bright red puffy dress with golden embroidery and short gloves were the same red as her dress. Not only was the dress too eye-catching for just a simple dress fitting but her countless amount of jewelry.

It went from three golden necklaces with red jewels carved to ten ring fingers with a red jewel in each individual ring.

While the four golden and red ankle bracelets that wrapped around her ankle only brought ridicule to the red heels she wore.

To top it off a funky red hat with an attached fish net was paired with the red ruby earrings.

'Well at least she didn't do anything to her hair (Aurora's inner thoughts)

Aurora stood there looking at Adelina's regular hairstyle.

'I get that she likes to show off the brand new jewelry but there's a limit to the amount of jewelry to not look ridiculous' (Aurora's inner thoughts)

Country to Adelina, Aurora was wearing a modest white ruffled top with a navy blue skirt attached to it. Even though she wasn't wearing any crazy jewelry she had a red oval pin that she had placed in the center of her navy blue lady tie.

She had decided to let her hair loose like most of the time the only finishing touch was a navy blue headband and her navy blue nail polish.

Adelina felt Aurora's stare and slowly opened her eyes slowly lowering her tea to her chest level.

She raised her eyes and looked at Aurora standing across her only separated by a short dark brown glossy table.

"Do you like my jewels enough sister?" (Adelina, asked)

"..." (Aurora)

'Hmph, why is she always like this she's like a doll with no emotions most of the time. Does she not care where I got my jewels?' (Adelina's inner thoughts)

Adelina was displeased but she decided to continue as if Aurora's indifference had not bothered her.

"Count Ivan gave them to me" (Adelina, said)

"They were sent by the emperor for me." (Adelina, said)

"And your point is?" (Aurora, asked)

Aurora lifted her left eyebrow and looked at Adelina with a are you done expression opposed to her question.

Adeline ignored all of Aurora's expressions as she continued only to show her motives for the conversation.

"Ahem...sister, do you know why you are here?" (Adelina, asked)

'Of course, I do (Aurora's inner thoughts)

"I don't" (Aurora, said)

Aurora said indifferently.

Adelina smirked in eagerness and satisfaction.

"Well, sister Aurora I don't know if they inform you but yesterday not only did count Ian came to give me jewelry but he also announced that the emperor was thinking of wedding me and the crown prince Jarek together." (Adelina, said)

Adelina said as showing off.

"I see." (Aurora, said)

Aurora made no effort in hiding her broad expression.

'Like I didn't know (Aurora's inner thoughts)

'Ha, now you're showing me a bored face?! How dare you! Is she even paying attention?' (Adelina's inner thoughts)

Adelina frowned her brows in annoyance.

'Just look at how easily she got annoyed.' (Aurora's inner thoughts)

'The best way to deal with her right now is not to give her attention. It makes her crave it even more.' (Aurora's inner thoughts)

Adelina raised her voice as she found Aurora looking somewhere else in deep thought.

"I said, I'm getting married to the crown prince did you not hear?" (Adelina, asked)

Aurora turned to look at Adelina again

"I did, so what?" (Aurora, asked)

Aurora asked with the same indifference.

Adelina now had gripped her teacup as a right vein appeared in her upper forehead.

'Calm down...a lady like me don't fret. She's probably displeased with her marriage that's all' (Adelina's inner thoughts)

"Are you acting like this because I'm getting a better husband than you?" (Adelina, asked)

Adelina snickered.

'Let's see how you take that!' (Adelina's inner thoughts)

But to Adelina's surprise, Aurora was not displeased it was as if she remained unfaced or rather could care less.

"Why would I? I'm happy with the man I married too." (Aurora, said)

'Lies!' (Adelina's inner thoughts)

"Ha, with that monster?" (Adelina, asked)

Adelina continued with a snicker.

"Of course, you would, a person like you is very deserving for a person like him. Then you'll have little monster babies an-" (Adelina, said)

There was a limit of disrespect Aurora was willing to take.

"You-" (Aurora, said)

She had finally spoken up but a knock sounded across the room.

'Knock'

The knock interrupted the upcoming heated argument.

'It must be her' (Adelina's inner thoughts)

Adelina put her teacup on the table, dusted her address, and fixated her hair.

'Creak'

Soon she got up from the couch and her eye-catching ankle bracelets soon were covered with her red dress.

"Come in" (Adelina, said)

'Why wear them at all if they were going to be hidden by that dress...'(Aurora's inner thoughts)

Aurora stared at Adelina as if she were observing a dumb person before her eyes.

'Creak'

Door opening.

Aurora turned her eyes towards the door.

A woman in her early thirties with red hair and dark purple eyes came in the door.

She wore a burgundy long skirt with a white blouse style and a burgundy puffed-up women's coat.

She could have been quite a pretty older woman but her expensive makeup took her youthfulness away.

Not only did the makeup but her old rustic silver glasses who she bought for fifty golden coins.

Soon enough Zellia followed behind with two Lepiliondel's knights carrying a large wooden suitcase.

'Is that...' (Aurora's inner thoughts)

Aurora's eyes widen in surprise.

Zellia had dark grey hair pulled back into a bun. Unlike her dark grey hair, she had light grey eyes. She was both young and talented. She was a person who Aurora recently had discovered in her past life.

Renata quickly spotted Adelina and hurried her steps toward her.

"Ah lady saintess Adelina!" (Renta, said)

Renta greeted Adelina with her loud excited voice.

"Ah haha, baroness Renata, thank you for coming on short notice." (Adelina, said)

She greeted Renata with an awkward voice but the Renata was too ignorant to know the meaning of Adelina's laugh.

"Oh that's not a big deal for me after all you are my favorite muse." (Renata, said)

Renata blushed like a child.

'Why can't she be less annoying? Does she never shut up and just do her work in silence' (Adelina's inner thoughts)

'Her voice is an irritation to my ears...' (Adelina's inner thoughts)

"I'm flattered, baroness you truly have great eyes." (Adelina, said)

Adelina fanned her palms as if she was flattered.

"Haha" (Adelina and Renata laughing)

Renata and Adelina giggled when Adelina finally noticed Zellia instructing the two knights to set the brown box in the corner.

"Oh Renata who is that?" (Adelina, asked)

Adelina asked as she scanned Zellia's plain dark dress.

'It looks more like a rag than a dress...how disgusting' (Adelina's inner thoughts)

Renata turned to see who Adelina was referring to.

"Ah...she's that commoner assistant of mine" (Renta, said)

Renata gazed at Zellia in disgust.

"Oh" (Adelina, said)

Her gaze changed in superiority. She was already looking at Zellia as if she was no less than a rug she could step on.

But of course, Adelina was the perfect angle that required her to play her concerned card.

" I heard something about a commoner working at your store, but why would you hire a person who looks like a rag? What if other noble ladies are displeased?" (Adelina, asked)

She asked with worried eyes.

Renata's disgusted face soon vanished and turned into a crescent smile.

"Don't worry I always keep her in the back and I trust saintess Adelina won't say a word?" (Renata, asked)

Renata's was like a warning.

"Ah, yes, yes..of course, I would never" (Adelina, said)

Adelina laughed it off awkwardly as she pretended like she wasn't thinking of selling Renata out.

She soon changed her expression and asked curiously.

"Then why is she here?" (Adelina, asked)

"Well about that" (Renata, said)

Renata's gaze now had turned to Aurora. That same old disgusting face Renata threw at Aurora each time she was dragged to watch Adelina's fittings appointments.

That was the same face as she had looked at Zellia.

"Originally I was the only one supposed to come and show you some dresses for the royal dinner but marquess Elex contracted me beforehand and said I had to provide your sister's wedding dress." (Renta, said)

'He did?' (Aurora's inner thoughts)

"!" (Adelina)

Adelina grabbed Renata's shoulders.

"W-Wait does this mean you yourself will help her with her wedding dress?" (Adelina, asked)

Adelina asked nervously as her worried expression soon started to show.

"Haha, of course not." (Renata, said)

"There's no need to worry." (Renata, said)

Renata patted Adelina's head as she mocked Adelina's question.

'You dirty woman how dare you run your nasty fingers against my hair.' (Adelina's inner thoughts)

'I'm going to have to tell the maids to prepare a four-hour bath as soon as she leaves.' (Adelina's inner thoughts)

"Then?" (Adelina, asked)

Renata smiled and turned to look at Zellia who was done dismissing the knights.

"Zellia, come here" (Renata, said)

Zellia turned to look at Renata.

'Step, Step, Step'

Walking

'Halt'

Zellia had finally arrived in front of Renata

"This is Zellia, she will help her out since a commoner is befitting of making her a dress after all." (Renata, said)

Renata looked at Adelina and pointed with her palm at Aurora.

"Oh my, Renata you sure are generous." (Adelina, said)

Adelina sinckered at Renata's pettiness.

Aurora looked at Zellia clenching her fist in shame.

'Step, Step'

Walking.

Aurora then walked to Zellia as Renata and Adelina laughed.

'Step, Step'

Walking

'Halt'

Stop walking.

Soon both Renata and Adelina  quiet down as they observed what Aurora was doing.

Zellia had yet not noticed Aurora's presence.

Aurora placed her hands on Zellia's shoulder.

Zellia flinched and looked up.

'Wow she's much more beautiful up close (Zellia's inner thoughts)

Aurora smiled and removed her hands.

She grabbed both ends of her dress and bowed.

"Lady Aurora Lepiliondel greets designer Zellia." (Aurora, said)

Aurora greeted Zellia elegantly and politely as if she was greeting someone of her same status.

Everyone's eyes went wide. Zellia stood silent in shock while Renata's and Adelina's voice was heard from the background.

"How disgraceful." (Renata, said)

Renata reproached as she continued to criticize.

"She's a nothing compared to the elegance of lady saintess Adelina." (Renata, said)

Adelina spoke up with an innocent tone.

"S-Sister how could you bow down to a commoner?" (Adelina, asked)

"You can't do that, do you know that's against ethics." (Adelina, said)

But behind that worried face, Adelina's eyes shined in brightness.

Aurora only turned her eyes to look at her.

"I'm simply doing as I please." (Aurora, said)

Then turned her face to look at the shocked Zellia.

"She deserves common respect." (Aurora, said)

But Adelina did not back down.

"Sister don't be ridiculous if father-" (Adelina, said)

Aurora interrupted her and snapped.

"Then tell him" (Aurora, said)

"What?" (Adelina, asked)

Adelina asked confused.

Aurora continued.

"It be your loss to tell him besides no if anyone is ridiculous it sure has to be you." (Aurora, said)

She turned around and face Adelina.

"Those words seem to fit you much better than me." (Aurora, said)

Adelina did not take it well.

"What did you just say?" (Adelina, asked)

Her expression darkened in anger.

"I. SAID. YOU. ARE. RIDICULOUS.' (Aurora, said)

Aurora said with a mocking tone as she crossed her arms while Adelina greeted her teeth.

"What a disrespectful lady-" (Renata, said)

Aurora turned to Renata.

"How could I be disrespectful in your eyes when you haven't even respected me once. Don't talk as if I have  your respect." (Aurora, said)

"I can't lose what I never had." (Aurora, said)

"Lad-" (Renata, said)

Renata had raised her voice but Aurora interrupted her once again.

"You yourself don't fall behind. A person who treats their subordinates so little has no room to speak." (Aurora, said)

Aurora's kept her poker face but her eyes were cold.

"How dare you" (Renata, yelled)

Now Adelina's cold voice had interrupted Renata's yelling voice.

"Sister." (Adelina, said)

"You truly have changed, for the worst." (Adelina, said)

"Ha, for the worst? For you or me?" (Aurora, asked)

She snickered.

'This bitch! She's mocking me!' (Adelina's inner thoughts)

Adelina was trying her hardest to contain her anger to not lose face but she knew well it wasn't the only reason she had to control her temper.

'No calm down...I can't let them shown' (Adelina's inner thoughts)

Adelina relaxed her tone.

"Not only have you become arrogant but you act like you're deserving of more." (Adelina, said)

"Because I am. I deserve it and I sure could care less about a prophecy that's not even meant for me." (Aurora, said)

Aurora said as she bragged.

Adelina's last calmness that remained on her face changed into a distorted expression as Aurora continued.

"You and I both know many things don't add up right? So how could I be the one when you yourself know-" (Aurora, said)

Adelina quickly interrupted Aurora.

"Why don't you go try your dress on?" (Adelina, asked)

Adelina had to stop Aurora from exposing her.

Aurora's lips formed a small smile and uncrossed her arms then grabbed Zellia's arm as she continued to look at Adelina.

"I do but I want baroness Renata to apologize to Zellia." (Aurora, said)

"No, how could I apologize to that commoner!" (Renata, yelled)

Aurora looked at Adelina ignoring Renata's complaint.

Aurora's smile widen.

"Do you want me to keep talking Adelina?" (Aurora, asked)

"..." (Adelina)

"Don't test my patience Adelina." (Aurora, said)

"You are no one to tell me to apologize." (Renata, yelled)

"I'll count down if you don't say anything dear sister" (Aurora, said)

"five" (Aurora, said)

"Are you crazy?!" (Renata, yelled)

"four" (Aurora, said)

"No! I will not!" (Renata, yelled)

"Three" (Aurora, said)

Aurora's gaze remained on Adelina's face as it darkened each time she counted.

Renata had to look at Adelina.

"two" (Aurora)

"..." (Adelina)

"Tell her something lady saintess Adelina." (Renata, said)

Renata's expression soon started to worry.

Adelina clenched her fist.

"And on-" (Aurora said)

"Apologize." (Adelina, said)

"What?" (Renata, asked)

Renata asked confused.

"Do it" (Adelina, said)

Adelina spared Renata no glace and only looked at Aurora with cold eyes.

"But-" (Renata, said)

"Now" (Adelina, yelled)

Renata flinched at Adelina's cold atmosphere.

Aurora moved aside showing Zellia who was in a state of confusion.

"I-I apologize." (Renata, said)

Renata clenched her fist.

Aurora's smile soon faded.

"Good, now that's settled excuse me." (Aurora, said)

Aurora guided Zellia heading to the dressing corner that was meant for Adelina.

'Step, Step, Step'

Walking.

The dressing corner was a special space for Adelina to change clothes it was near a nice window with good lighting but far enough not to be seen changing from the winds.

It had a wooden floral two-standing door covers that went around a small corner.

As Aurora headed towards it Adelina's voice was heard.

"Aurora, that's mine." (Adelina, said)

'Halt'

Stops walking.

Aurora turned to look at Adelina.

"Well it's mine now." (Aurora, said)

But Adelina remboke again.

"You can't." (Adelina, said)

"Watch me" (Aurora)

'Step, Step, Step'

Walking.

Aurora said as she turned around flapping his hair to the side as a noble lady with an arrogant attitude as she heard Renata speak in the background.

"Don't worry I instructed that commoner to give her a befitting dress for the prophecy child." (Renata, said)

'Step, Step'

Walking.

As Aurora approached the dressing corner she responded to Renata's comment.

'Halt'

Stop walking.

"How funny, a title that belongs to Adelina." (Aurora, said)

Aurora stops and turned her head around.

"She's the one with the following shadows after all" (Aurora, said)

'How? No there is no one who knows only...' (Adelina's inner thoughts)

Adelina shivered and bit her limp.

Aurora smirked and turned around to head inside the corner.

'Step, Step'

Walking

'Halt'

Stop walking.

She sat Zellia on the bench that the corner provided and removed her hand.

"Why do you let her treat you like this?" (Aurora, asked)

"..." (Zellia)

Zellia looked down.

'In the past, it was revealed that she was the one who designed most dresses that Renata sold...I don't know why she still stayed?' (Aurora's inner thoughts)

"I heard you have a great talent." (Aurora, said)

Zellia slowly raised her head and looked at Aurora.

"So why do you let her push you around like that? You are far better off without her." (Aurora, said)

Zellia finally answered.

"I-I can't" (Zellia, said)

"Why?" (Aurora, asked)

She tilted her head in confusion.

"B-Because I have a contract with baroness Renata." (Zellia, said)

"A contract?" (Aurora, asked(

"Y-Yes, my mother became sick a few years ago and baroness Renata promised to pay for the treatment but I had to sign a contract and if I broke it I had to pay five million gold." (Zellia, said)

'5 million gold?! Is the baroness sain? 5 million gold... there's no way a commoner could make that, truly what a stingy woman.' (Aurora's inner thoughts)

"Hazz" (Aurora)

Aurora sighed.

"Why don't we do this" (Aurora)

Aurora leaned to Zellia's right ear and Zellia's eyes became wide with dripping wet tears and an uncontrollable smile.
