Madam, You Wouldn't Want Your Identity as a Witch to Be Exposed, Would You - Chapter 64

Chapter 64: Help Me Take My Measurements

***

“I’m so sorry, really sorry, Leah. We listened to others’ slander, we shouldn’t have discriminated against you and bullied you…”

Listening to those once arrogant children of nobles and aristocrats coming up to apologize one by one before her.

Leah, who was initially somewhat afraid, now slightly puffed up her not-so-full chest.

Eve watched her precious one gradually becoming more cheerful, and couldn’t help but feel several degrees of comfort in her heart.

The smile on her lips never stopped.

Because Eve was simply too beautiful, her comforting smile seemed as if it could directly melt the winter ice.

It caused everyone present to stand there dazed, and even Chancelianne’s gaze was completely drawn to Eve.

Eve thought everyone’s attention was focused on Leah, but little did she know, everyone’s gaze was currently fixed on her.

Yet she remained completely unaware, just continuously smiling there, making everyone’s hearts race faster.

Even those noble children were all staring with straight eyes, and even the rare two girls among them were so shocked their jaws were about to drop.

If they’d known earlier that Leah’s mother was this beautiful, who would have bullied Leah? They wouldn’t be able to curry favor fast enough…

So ma’am, what’s your contact information?

“Happy now?”

After coming out of the office, Leah couldn’t help but let out a long breath, as if expelling all the accumulated grievances from this long period with this single breath.

Those once high and mighty figures were now bowing and scraping before her, apologizing with utmost humility.

Seeing them like that, Leah’s excited face turned rosy.

But most crucial was the heavy money pouch in her hand, containing exactly 20 gold coins.

20 coins! That was money Leah might not be able to earn even after many years of hard work.

Eve’s weekly salary was only 10 silver coins, and after deducting living expenses, even she would need to save for a long time to accumulate these 20 gold coins.

However, Eve was a witch, and money was something that just needed to be sufficient for her.

So she wasn’t particularly interested in the money pouch in Leah’s hand, but Leah’s eyes were almost glazing over looking at the heavy pouch.

Eve felt this child seemed to really like money… was it because she was scared of being poor when she was young?

“Hmm… barely acceptable,” Leah muttered softly, pursing her lips.

After all, they had bullied her for such a long time, and even almost caused her to lose her chance to graduate.

Getting Leah’s forgiveness naturally wouldn’t be so easy, a few apologies were far from comparable to the harm Leah had suffered.

So under the Empress’s supervision, before Leah would agree to forgive these spoiled children, they all had to try every possible way to please Leah and gain her consent.

Speaking of having these children please Leah, it was actually more about pointing to the family forces behind them.

The families behind these dozen or so people involved various industries throughout the empire, and Leah was about to graduate from the Church Academy. After graduation, she would definitely need to work.

No matter which direction Leah chose, at least there would be people who could help out, while guiding her towards developing in a direction that would serve the Royal Family.

This was what Chancelianne wanted to see.

Of course, she had another matter hidden in her heart.

“Miss Eve, I’ve helped you solve your problem. I have a small favor I’d like to ask of you in return.”

Chancelianne’s words made Eve slightly startled, she didn’t understand what she could do to help the Empress, that was the Empress after all…

The only thing she could help her with would probably be…

No way!

Your Majesty, I’m already a mother of a child, so I might not be able to help you…

“Leah’s ceremonial dress looks quite nice, could you tell me which master craftsman made it? I happen to need to have a new ceremonial dress made for attending an important meeting.”

“I’ve found so many tailors, but none were satisfactory. Yet uniquely, the design of Leah’s dress deeply appeals to me.”

While speaking, Chancelianne bent down to carefully examine the dress on Leah’s body. The design was very exquisite, even the stitching had been specially concealed, making this ceremonial dress appear as if it was naturally formed.

“This? This I made myself.”

“You made it yourself?”

Chancelianne was obviously surprised, she hadn’t expected this friend her precious daughter made to be not just knowledgeable in magic and beautiful.

“If Your Majesty doesn’t mind, I can try to make one for you. After all, you’ve helped us so much.”

“Wonderful, then it’s decided. Come to the Royal Palace another day to take my measurements.”

Chancelianne really wanted a dress like this, so she agreed very readily.

She even specially allowed Eve to measure her body measurements from head to toe to achieve the ultimate effect for the dress.

“Alright, no problem.”

Eve agreed in a daze, but as soon as the words left her mouth, she suddenly seemed to realize something…

Taking the Empress’s measurements, doesn’t that mean…

Being able to see the Empress wearing only underwear or perhaps nothing at all?
