The days passed by quickly and we received word two days later that the duke would be arriving soon.
It was the scout team on the edge of our territory that had noticed the duke's carriage and immediately sent word to the town to inform us.
When that happened, Rose started running things with even more of an iron fist than she did before. This time, I wasn't able to escape since I was the count and the lord of this place, so I had to prepare myself to greet the duke.
As such, I was dragged off by a few of her maids and made to sit still for several hours as they prepared what I would be wearing to greet the duke.
Actual formal wear was much more troublesome than normal formal wear, this was something that was used to impress the guests that came, so there were many different parts to it.
From the clothes to the accessories to even the smallest details of my hair, it all had to be perfect.
