Bab 50: Lady's Matter

Oh my. You look utterly fabulous!"

A small smile crept on my lips as I watched Thiara's expression after I dressed up at the night of the royal occasion.

"Be honest with me. Are you a goddess in disguise?" she humored.

"You look stunning in your dress, too." I didn't say that for the sake of returning the compliment but because it was true.

"I know I'm beautiful, but note that your beauty is definitely on the higher level. I suppose your mother was as beautiful as you."

"More than, actually."

"Oh don't be too humble, Ophelia. I know your mother would say the opposite."

"But it's true that I got my beauty from her."

"Must be true," she agreed and then pulled me out the tavern.
