When Evelyn entered the reception room, Rebecca stood up and gave her an elegant greeting.

“Thank you for your precious time.” Rebecca’s green eyes shone brilliantly.

“Rebecca, stop playing.”

“Oh, I’m serious. It’s hard to see the princess these days.”

Lady Akshire, Rebecca, quickly became Evelyn’s close friend with her cool personality.

“That’s because Adrian is so cute.”

“Whoa, I wish my younger brother was young.” Rebecca said with a sincere look.

“Why? isn’t Duke Liam always reliable too ?”

“Ugh. Princess, there’s no reliable younger brother in the world.”

Her expression of disgust looked serious.

“You don’t know how much I hate to see him. You don’t know how he told me to lead the Knight Parade on Feast Day, huh.”

Liam was considered a popular bridegroom not only in the kingdom but also in the whole Empire, but for Rebecca, her sister, he was just a terrible brother.

“More than that, Princess, are your dress ready for the big festival?”

“Wouldn’t I just wear my official dress?”

“Ha.” Rebecca sighed deeply.

“I’m here today because I knew you would be like this! It’s almost like an important big day.” Rebecca looked at Evelyn with a stern look on her face.

“But it’s only a Kingdom’s event.”

“Princess, it’s a holy occasion, and also a tradition in the Felice Kingdom. But!”

Evelyn opened her eyes wide at Rebecca’s toughness.

“It’s also an event that the Empire pays attention to. In other words, we need to visually show that we live better than ever and that we’re happy.”

“Huh? Suddenly?”

Rebecca sighed again, looking at Evelyn.

“The princess really doesn’t know anything.”

Frankly, Miriam arranged for the two to meet because Rebecca’s broken side was trying to help Evelyn. Above all, the two of them have something in common.

“We’re a proud divorcee who abandoned her stupid ex-husband and found freedom.”

“He, if you said like that, that would be a light offense.””

“Then my ex-husband will do something stupid. Anyway!”

Evelyn was too soft. Fortunately, Rebecca was strong enough to face it.

“There are so many stupid people in the world, my ex-husband, or people who like to talk.So we have to show clearly that we are the happiest and most free so people can’t even talk about us.”

Rebecca ‘s opinion was also right. The prejudice against the divorced woman was still a negative one. Only the free-spirited Felice Kingdom and the Duke of Akshire, who had proudly embraced their daughter, who had been divorced and returned.

“But, I don’t have to…”

“No. This is for our pride.”

Rebecca grabbed Evelyn ‘s hand. Within her green eyes, there was a deep premonition.

“It’s a woman’s war to find freedom. We ‘re supposed to prepare our weapons.”

“Rebecca, going to war is a bit…..”

“Not at all. You’ll find out.” Rebecca folded her hand-fan and tapped it on her palm.

In the dressing room, their massive procession began.

“Let’s show the world. That we are the victors.”

Evelyn nodded unconsciously. Their costume preparations were not yet finished. Perhaps today, Evelyn couldn’t see the view of Adrian ‘s dinner and had to give in to her parents.

Guided by Rebecca ‘s hands, Evelyn has gone through a lot of trouble from beauty massages to the dress’s selection from scratch.

“Lady Akshire is right.”

Even Miriam, who she believed, spoke firmly to Evelyn.

“There are so many people in the world who like to gossip. If you show a dignified appearance, no one will be able to talk about it. Lady Akshire is a smart person, so stay close to her and learn a little about that.”

“But this is too much. I feel like I’m making my social debut again.”

“In a certain sense, it’s more important than that. Besides, you know? You are young, healthy you have stunning beauty, and you are the only heir to our kingdom. There may be a royal prince who will fall in love with you and make a proposal to marry you.”

Come to think of it, it seemed that Rebecca was less scary than Miriam.

“My mother is very picky about her divorced daughter.”

“Second, you have to look at the conditions more.”

“I don’t think like that!”

Miriam looked sad while looking at her, still a young and fresh daughter, but it wasn’t a matter of priority right now.

“Then, think about it like this. What facial expressions will the noble ladies who are trying to fight against you show? When they see that you are so beautiful and full of confidence.”

“Ah······.”

“But, if you still want to show a pure, simple and frugal appearance, I won’t stop you.”

Miriam was wise.

“No.”

Now Evelyn’s eyes were as burning as Rebecca’s.

“Mother, can I borrow your jewels?”

“Of course, your father already told me to take out all the jewels of the royal family.”

It was the same for parents who wanted to show off their daughter’s happiness after her divorce.

“I need to get a new dress.”

“Better to have at least five new outfits until the last minute.”

“No.”

Only

Evelyn briefly looked back at herself, whom she had forgotten after she had raised a child.

“Ten. No, I need at least twenty.”

“That’s a good choice, my daughter.”

Not all the noblewomen of the Empire who despised her came to the Great Festival. Nevertheless, some nobles involved in diplomatic relations with the Felice Kingdom had been invited. And if she looked at their light-mouths, the rumors would instantly spread like wildfire.

“Yes, because it’s a women’s war.”

Fluttering, Evelyn’s fighting spirit flared up. The most perfect revenge was now to show off her happiness. Then there was no need to hesitate further.

Fortunately, Evelyn had a weapon called beauty. The only thing left to do was to get it polished.
