(From Blue's Perspective)
Perita helped me get into the carriage. We were going to stop at the duchy residence and Iris would join us. The duchy was on the way to the boutique.
The dress was made with rare and delicate fabrics. The designer suggested that it was best not to move it much, so we were going to the boutique so Ruby could try it on. I was very excited, even more than Ruby.
Iris and I had been meeting at the palace frequently. She hung out with me and sometimes she would talk to me while I would work. We had gotten very close. Dem did not mind since I was in the palace.
Aside from Perita, Abel was coming with us to guard me. He was the same knight who went with us when I went to meet Ruby's family. It was expected that Dem would send someone from his knights' squad.
"Your Highness, if you see anyone suspicious or looking at you suspiciously, notify me," Abel said, standing in front of the carriage.
