The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 260: Lila, the future great potion master.

When Lila Evermore returned to the Evermore estate that evening, there was a change in her which was noticeable by those that knew her closely.

Her mother, Lady Bertha Evermore noticed that Lila was wearing a brightly colored dress. It was a lavender colored dress not the brightest of shades but it still spoke volumes in comparison to the brown, beige, mustard yellow, charcoal and other dull colors she usually preferred.

Her older sister Vivian Evermore noticed that Lila was speaking at the dining table. Granted, she had spoken no more than fifteen words but it was a lot compared to the usual brief ’thank you’ and ’good night.’

Michael Evermore, her fourth brother realized that she had smiled to herself. From the moment she sat down at the table to when the meal started, her lips were curved upwards, revealing a dimple that he had never known existed.

Lord Evermore noticed that she was sitting up straighter as if a metal rod had been placed in her backbone. Normally, she was hunched over or she shrunk into herself shyly like a tortoise.

Everyone at the table, all ten of the family members that had gathered for dinner could tell that something was going on with the second youngest member of their family.

Vivian could not take it anymore and she decided to ask the question that was on everyone’s mind. "Lila, is there something going on that you would like to share with us?"

Lila raised her head and blinked a few times, she realized that she was the center of attention and everyone was looking at her.

"That is a lovely dress you are wearing dear." Her mother shared a compliment.

"Thank you." Lila replied softly.

Two people at the table were like Sigrid, suckers for the small voice.

"How was mage school?" Her grandfather asked. "We have listened enough to your father’s praises and complaints about his work as a minister. Save us all from him."

Lord Evermore considered defending himself somehow but it was true, he had been quite vocal ever since he got the ministerial position.

Nobody really expected her to share anything but they hoped that she would anyway. She was too shy, it was their hope that she would come out of her shell, at least when she was home with them.
