Chapter 96: 95th Dawn - Draw the Line

Tristan is struck astounded the moment he realized what's the crowd in the dressing room all about.

As soon as he made his way towards the vanity mirrors, where everyone seemed to be looking at earlier before he came, he didn't expect to find a certain white-haired friend as the center of attention. At the very second he caught sight of her talking ever so blithely with the others, her bright smile rivalling the sun, a scene from the past suddenly flashed through his mind -

It was way back when Lillian was still an apprentice in Freya. Tristan also found her surrounded like this. People were flocking all around her as well.

Back then, however, she was having a heated confrontation with Victoria and the others inside the designer department's room - that part when she learned all about her 'contract princess' title and was bullied for receiving special treatment from Baron Pierre. Everybody there wasn't very fond of her that time.
