Chapter 255

Just as Eric had declared, the dresses were delivered around noon that day. Along with them came a butler and maid who appeared to be royal servants.

'Delivered' might be the word, but there was no way Eric could have known the sizes of Reina and the other three girls.

A merchant who seemed to be a local brought a large number of dresses into the hotel and encouraged them to choose whichever they liked.

"Well... as expected of a prince. He really went all out..."

Seeing the mountain of dresses brought into the hotel lounge, Clael let out a sigh of exasperation.

There were hundreds of dresses lined up. If these were prepared on short notice, he must have spent a considerable amount of money.

For the first time, it truly sank in that Eric was the crown prince of this country.

"Wow, amazing dresses! So pretty!"

"As expected of His Highness... I heard it was just a small party, but to prepare this many dresses..."

"Are we really allowed to wear these?"

Reina's friends' eyes sparkled with excitement.

Even though they were noble ladies who were surely used to beautiful dresses... the hundreds of dresses laid out before them were still overwhelming.

"His Highness has already paid for everything. Please feel free to try on whatever you like."

"My ladies, we have prepared a fitting room over here. Please, this way..."

The well-dressed butler and maid urged the girls to try on the dresses.

Other hotel guests turned their eyes toward the lounge, wondering what was going on, but it seemed the hotel had been informed in advance. The staff gently turned them away.

"Saint, please try some on as well."

"Yes... I'll go now, Mr. Clael."

"Ah, yes. Take your time."

Clael saw Reina off.

Just as dresses had been prepared for Reina and the others, a tuxedo had been prepared for Clael as well.

Unlike the girls, he didn't need to choose with such enthusiasm. He simply picked one that fit and accepted it.

"Now, my lady. Let's try on a dress, shall we—"

"Wha—no, you've got it wrong! I'm a guy!?"

"Oh, what a joke... But don't worry, we have dresses that suit a slender frame too."

"Wha—Mr. Claeleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel!"

Screaming, Yurii was dragged away by the maid.

In Clael's mind, the melody of 'Dona Dona' began to play.

After waiting a while, Reina and the others appeared, now dressed in elegant gowns.

"Ohh... well, well."

Clael was so impressed he was at a loss for words.

Standing before him was a beautiful girl who could be mistaken for a mermaid. It was Reina, clad in a pearl-colored mermaid dress.

The mermaid dress Reina wore was made of fine silk, adorned with small gemstones scattered throughout, sparkling brilliantly.

She had even lightly applied makeup, and her beauty was enough to topple a nation.

With just a smile and a few words from Reina, countless men might fight and destroy a kingdom.

"How do I look, Mr. Clael?"

"It suits you very well... Honestly, I was mesmerized."

"I'm so happy! I chose a dress I thought you'd like, Mr. Clael."

Reina's cheeks blushed rose as she mischievously smiled and leaned in toward him.

Clael suddenly felt bashful and cleared his throat with a "Ahem..."

"You all look wonderful too."

"Thank you, Mr. Byrne."

Reina's friends had also elegantly adorned themselves.

Wearing red, blue, and yellow dresses, they had accessorized as well.

"Ugh... why me too..."

"...Mr. Yurii, you look quite seductive... I mean, almost frighteningly so."

Yurii was also wearing a purple fishtail dress.

The dress, with its asymmetrical hemline, boldly exposed the front of Yurii's legs.

Though Yurii had a baby face, the design of the dress was mature and provocative.

"Wh-why did it come to this..."

"Well, don't ask me..."

"I'll go try on another dress, okay? I really want you to see it, Mr. Clael!"

While Yurii collapsed in tears, the four girls seemed to be having fun.

Even Reina, who had been reluctant to attend the party at first, was now excitedly trying on dresses.

In the end, they decided to attend the party in the first dresses they had picked.

Clael wore a tuxedo. Yurii, overwhelmed by the intense pressure from the royal palace maid, ended up attending in that same dress.
