Celebrity Lady

The fourth day of Rubetria Diollus isolation in Lubon.

At the office in the villa on a leisurely afternoon.

Bum, bubumm—!

Heavy classical music with the excitement of magnificent high instruments flows on top of the thin piano melody.

In the video projector on the desk, a recorded performance by a famous orchestra was playing.

Intoxicated with the classical music that tickled her ears pleasantly, Rubette gently closed her eyes and savored the melody. Her head was nodding and her lips were perking up.

“Ahhh! There must be a misunderstanding!”

Just then, a scream was heard from the military police passing by her villa, interrupting her languid rest.

It was the voice of Baron Lubon, who was to be escorted to the military police and subject to further investigation with his track record stolen and his title confiscated.

After sending a letter to Viego, the family investigation team and the Imperial Military Police, who were dispatched on the same day, went straight into the investigation and accomplished a splendid feat in just three days.

Rubette, who had been smiling with her eyes closed, frowned.

“Sienna.”

“Yes, lady.”

“Could you turn up the sound of the video a bit more? Something is barking somewhere…”

“Of course.”

Tang, tang, tang—!

Someone’s screams were drowned out by the louder music. Rubette’s expression became peaceful again.

“Mmm.”

Rubette, who was wagging her fingers and humming as if she were the conductor of the orchestra, picked up the letter on her desk and skimmed through it.

My dear sister, Rubette.

Your brother is ashamed. If it wasn’t for your help, I would have never been able to fathom the situation in Lubon.

A new trustworthy person will be selected as a representative in Lubon shortly.

Always be healthy.

With love, Viego.

Laughing loudly, Rubette tossed the letter onto the desk, closed her eyes again, and immersed herself in the classical music.

“My lady, Miss Rebecca has asked me to deliver the report from Madame Becky of <Blanc de Ruby>. Would you like to hear it now?”

“Yes, that will be nice. Thank you.”

Sienna, who nodded, lowered the sound of the video stone where the classical music was playing and took out a new video stone, and played it.

Rubette sat on a luxurious chair with her legs crossed and her back relaxed, looking at the video.

“A promotional video for the new autumn dress of <Blanc de Ruby> was sent to the boutique street through a video board.”

“Oh, as expected of our great actress. Look at this pretty face and haughty expression.”

Rubette was thrilled to see the promotional video that was being played through the video board on the boutique street of the capital.

The new autumn dress, with three-quarter puff sleeves as the point, fit perfectly as if it were tailored to model Sarah Hugo’s body.

Besides, as expected, the goddess of acting, Sarah, showed off her indifferent yet elegant expression and beautiful gestures, keeping the watchers’s eyes on her throughout the video.

A beautiful secret—

“I found it in Blanc de Ruby’s autumn.”

In the video, Sarah, who put her index finger on her lips, left a short line with her enchanting smile.

“Kyaa!”

Clap, clap, clap!

Rubette clapped her hands, and Sienna, who was standing next to her, lowered her head and smiled.

“Since the release of the video, daily sales have risen by more than 25%, and we have achieved a record of 328 million marks in sales on October 11th through reservations for new products for autumn. Please check the sales slip sent by Madame Becky for specific revenue trends.”

“Mmm, all right.”

Rubette smiled in satisfaction as she scanned the sales slip Sienna handed over.

“How full is the reservation queue?”

“Until February of the following year. Also, please check the paperwork on the proposal to raise the deposit from Madame Becky. As soon as we receive your approval, we will raise the reservation fee for the autumn season by 500,000 marks.”

“Oh, really? My Becky has finally learned how to do some business.”

Rubette smiled with satisfaction and signed the approval documents.

“”I got a reply from the two places where you sent the collaboration proposal. From Marquis Frank and Hamilton Galacchio.”

“What’s the content? Well, of course…”

“Yes. Not only did they readily accept it, but both of them further inquired about extending the contract period.”

“Fufufu…” Rubette, who clenched her fists, covered her mouth, and laughed.

Rubette, who was planning to gradually expand the scope of business by launching leather products and accessories such as bags and wallets, had immediately recruited more partners with the brand after <Blanc de Ruby> hit the so-called ‘big hit’.

They were Marquis Frank, who was enjoying the finest leather trade, and Hamilton Galacchio, a famous craftsman who had the best skills in the capital.

Both were big names in their respective fields. If it was a collaboration proposal from a modest brand representative, they would of course reject it…

But what of a secret contact from ‘Madame Ruby’, the mysterious representative of <Blanc de Ruby>, who was said to be the most popular these days? It was only natural that they sent a quick reply.

“That’s great. They are big names, so we have to agree to a contract amendment like this. Extend the contract period for another two years, revise the contract, and reply.”

“All right.”

Receiving the signed payment documents from Rubette, Sienna thought for a moment. How do I say this? The 15-year-old noble lady seems very familiar with this series of work processes. As if the soul of a seasoned businessman possessed the body…

“Because Sienna is good at work, and I have to spend a year with you, I can’t hide it.”

“Actually, I am running a small business. I would appreciate your help.”

“Oh, and of course it’s a secret.”

When she first heard about it, she thought the lady was playing house, but when she found out the truth, her mouth was wide open.

‘Small’ business was such a humbling phrase…

Even Sienna, who had no interest in boutiques, couldn’t help but be aware that the owner of <Blanc de Ruby> was the youngest daughter of the Diollus family.

And what was surprising was not only that.

“My lady, the final revised sample of the men’s suit has arrived!”

“Ohh, finally!”

An excited Rebecca opened the door to the office, and two maids followed her in, pulling mannequins on wheels.

“Ah.”

A moment of exclamation burst from Sienna’s mouth.

There was a stylishly angled black men’s jacket and a pair of well-fitting suit bottoms.

The splendid silk decorations and shiny jewel buttons, which had never been missing in the design of ordinary men’s uniforms, were nowhere to be found. And yet it didn’t look plain.

“This strange cravat design is so pretty! As expected, my lady is amazing!”

“Fufu…”

Unlike traditional cravats, which were made of white muslin or lace, this rather unusual choker was tied with a long piece of cloth hanging down to the navel. Perhaps because of that, the unadorned, simple jacket design never looked ordinary.

Sienna blankly looked away, and soon looked at Rubette and thought. Yes, the most amazing thing is that this 15-year-old girl designed all the clothes that developed the boutique in a short time.

“Right. This is the autumn shawl Becky sent along with the sample.”

“Oh my, how pretty. I’ll put it on since I’m about to go to the workshop now.”

“Of course!”

Rebecca slipped a navy shawl over Rubette’s shoulder, who showed her back with a haughty gesture.

Ah, the ‘dignity’ of ‘the boss’ who doesn’t look at all like a 15-year-old girl…!

Soon, Rubette, who raised her chin proudly, turned to Sienna.

It was a pose that was a bit arrogant but couldn’t be more appropriate than this. It looked like a habitual behavior.

“Let’s go, secretary.”

And Sienna answered, feeling something beating in her heart.

“… Yes, boss!”

***

Lubon Workshop.

The workshop workers, whose faces had improved in a few days, were working hard.

Charlie hurriedly came out and met me.

“Princess!”

“You’re doing a great job today, too. I think the number of people at the workshop has increased.”

“It’s all thanks to you, Princess. Some of the scattered family members came back.”

“What a relief.”

“By the way, about the overdue wages you paid off… I wondered if you misunderstood the amount. The overdue wages were three months’s worth…”

“No. There’s no way I misunderstood that. It’s not just three months’s overdue wages, but five years’s workshop income that had to be paid to you.”

Charlie bit his lip with a darkened expression.

“Well… It is also my fault that I signed a contract with Baron Lubon without checking the facts.”

“He was going to cheat you in the middle from the beginning. How could you have checked the facts? It’s our fault for sending only the inspector and not examining the situation more carefully.”

“Ah…”

“You don’t have to worry about it because we only paid for the labor we should have paid to you. If you’re feeling anxious, please take care of the workshop family who worked hard together.”

“Princess… Thank you very much. How should I repay this favor… Ah! Jeremy, this guy! Your Highness came, but he didn’t even come out to say hello!”

“Oh, don’t worry. I’m not here to invite a friend who’s busy working to say hello. However, since I’m here, I’ll just look at his face.” After laughing and stopping Charlie, I opened the door to the small studio on one side of the workshop.

‘He’s working hard.’

I could see the back of Jeremy, who was sitting at the messy desk. His back bent as much as it could as he was engrossed in his work.

It’d only been a few days, but I’d gotten pretty close with my friend Jeremy, who was the same age as me.

I tried to be nicer to him because I felt sorry…

‘But he looks busy, shall I come back later?’

Even at his young age, Jeremy was a genius boy with good dexterity to the extent that Mr. Charlie praised him until his mouth was dry.

When I was about to turn away, not wanting to interfere with his work.

“Oh, you’re here?”

“Ah, Jeremy. I didn’t mean to interfere. Just keep doing what you’ve been doing.”

“No! I was thinking of going to find you…”

“Mm? Me?”

Jeremy talked comfortably to me when we were alone because I had deliberately asked for it as I didn’t have many peers and wanted to get close quickly.

“Mm-hmm. I have something for you.”

“Mm? What-”

Jeremy got up from his seat and approached me.

And the moment I saw it.

‘Oh, my gosh…!’

In a daze, I couldn’t help but scream inwardly.
