Aurelia took a deep breath to look as calm as she could and forced a smile.

Carmella was distracted for a split second. For some reason, she suddenly recalled her first meeting with Helene.

They were similar in age and often attended various events with their elders. She was the standard young lady, while Helene seemed a little rebellious for the royal family, always doing something shocking.

Each time she did those baffling deeds, the teachers in the palace would execute their authority to teach disobedient ones with a cane.

Helene was often punished, and before she was hit, she would be so nervous that her shoulders would shake involuntarily every time.

Carmella felt her brain go numb. She looked at Aurelia again and saw her long chestnut hair. She could not help the chills that ran down her spine as she shuddered.

How could it be?

She forced herself to calm down. This must just be a coincidence.

Carmella straightened up and coughed before smiling at Aurelia. “Ms. Aurelia, you don’t have to be nervous. You’re summoned today because I heard that you’re a skilled seamstress.
