Cordelia took a few steps back, startled.
“This can’t do! My clothes are stained, and I reek of alcohol. It’d be a disrespect to the queen! I…”
“Calm down. I have a solution!”
Alexander smiled at her with a hand on her shoulder.
Cordelia subconsciously wanted to move back to keep some distance between them, but it seemed that Alexander
had read her mind and moved his hand off before she stepped back. He then politely let her walk in front.
Cordelia nodded but could not help being puzzled. She instinctively did not think that Alexander had an ulterior
motive because his gaze was so clean.
It was not like Cordelia had never seen men who wanted… things. The supervisor who would always pick on her
back in Jangasas and the director who had wanted to take advantage of her in Centrolis… Those people wrote their

Alexander was not like that. Cordelia could see equality, peace, love, and kindness in his eyes. She thought that if
he became the ruler of the country in the future, he would make the nation a paradise…
“Cordelia, what’s wrong?”
Cordelia broke out of her trance. She had somehow gone to the internal palace with Alexander.
“This is the dressing room for the royal family.” Alexander pulled an outfit from somewhere and passed it to her.
“Get changed.”
Cordelia was surprised.
The outfit he produced was the traditional Southeast Aciatic short-sleeved blouse and narrow skirt. It was very well
made with a gold threaded hem and tiny pearls hanging off it. The two butterflies embroidered on the pale pink
satin looked real.
“This is…”
Alexander flashed a mysterious grin. “We’ll talk after you get changed.”
Cordelia entered the dressing room and came out a while later, unable to help the delight and surprise when she
looked at herself in the mirror.
The outfit was made for her! The collar and sleeves fit perfectly, and even the waist and skirt length cinched at the
right part.
Cordelia looked at Alexander, who spoke up before she asked. “Your cousin asked me to bring it to you.”
“What? Neil?”
That was magical. How could Neil be able to tell that someone would spill red wine on her today and send the
clothes over!?
“Neil wanted to send it to your place, but he heard that you’re attending the palace’s Floria Festival invitation, so he

Cordelia chuckled. Her cousin was pretty adamant about returning the favor.
“I planned to give it to you after the event.” Alexander smiled. “Didn’t expect it to come into use so soon.”
“I actually brought a spare outfit.”
“But I can bet that it wouldn’t look as nice as this one!”
Cordelia was startled and looked up to meet Alexander’s friendly gaze.
“This outfit matches you,” he said. “Be it the color or the details, they’re compatible with you.”
The admiration in his eyes did not put off Cordelia at all. There was a strange feeling… like how she would discuss
with her best friend in the fitting room when they shopped in the past.
Cordelia smiled and thanked him.
“Don’t thank me. I’m just a courier.” Alexander said, “You know who made the clothes, right?”
Cordelia already had a guess. There was no one else except Aurelia who was this skilled!
“You…” She was surprised. “You’ve met Aurelia?”
