Happy Days of the All-around Maid and the Duke - Chapter 10

?First, we need a haircut! Let’s get a haircut!?

?Why are you so excited…??

Ririka sat Wilgia in front of a large mirror and covered his neck with a cloth. The mirror reflected Ririka’s lively expression as she held the scissors.

?I’ve been wanting to cut your bangs for a long time! I’ve been wondering what kind of face is hidden under these bangs ever since I served you. I’ll cut it now!?

Ririka cuts Wilgia’s hair as she speaks.

It has been a month since I started working at the mansion. Not a day went by that I didn’t wonder what kind of hairstyle would suit Wilgia-sama. His hair was so unkempt that it was depressing.

I noticed that his fine hair was soft and silky when I touched it. However, the amount of hair was quite large, so if left unattended, it would probably become messy. It’ll be alright if I take good care of it. His golden colored hair, which is rarely seen, will be beautiful if it is trimmed.

Then, from underneath the hair that Ririka trimmed ——— a young man with stunning good looks appeared.

His green, clear eyes are well-shaped and sparkling like jewels, his golden eyelashes like his hair are moderately long. His nose was also well-shaped. It’s frighteningly well-looking.

Wilgia, who had exposed his beauty under the sun, which everyone would look back on, lowered his eyebrows while fiddling with his bangs and looked puzzled by his neat features.

?It’s itchy… you cut it too much, don’t you think??

?No, not at all, this is just right. Wilgia-sama, you have such a lovely face…! It’s a waste to hide it!?

?I guess so. I’ve never been praised by anyone?

?Well, if you hide your face with such long bangs, no one will ever see your real face?

Wilgia still fiddles with his bangs and struggles to hide his face, his efforts were futile. The bangs, which had been perfectly trimmed by Ririka, were neither too long nor too short and no matter how much he pulled them, they could no longer hide Wilgia’s face.

While Wilgia continued to pull at his bangs, I quickly collected all the hair and put it away and now brought a tape measure.

Now, it’s time to take your measurements to make your clothes!

I measured Wilgia-sama without putting his whole body together.

?What color do you prefer, Wilgia-sama??

?Well, a plain and unnoticeable color. I don’t want to stand out?

?I wonder if that can be called a preference…?

I glanced up at him while measuring his measurements and thanks to his haircut, I was able to see his beautiful face. My eyes are blessed.

?Well, I’m going to make clothes that look good on Wilgia-sama, will that be all right?

?Yes, I don’t mind?

Wilgia nodded while looking sincerely disinterested. I’ve got your word. I won’t let him complain now.

Ririka rolled up the tape measure and said with a sly smile,?Please look forward to it?Wilgia’s face was slightly twitching.

There aren’t many days left until the evening party.

Ririka finished her business at the mansion and quickly headed for the royal capital.

I went into a shop that sells clothes and started choosing, wondering what color would suit my master.

Remembering the clear green eyes hidden by the soft blonde hair, I concluded that white would be the only color that would suit his perfect prince-like face.

However, The question is, does Wilgia-sama like to wear white or not?

Most of Wilgia’s personal clothes are black or brown. He has a white shirt, but he wears a coat over it.

If he were to wear white from top to bottom, he would probably say,?I don’t feel at home?.

Then I’ll go with black, which he also likes to wear.

How about stitching it with silver thread so that it doesn’t become too dark and putting a white shirt underneath?

(Yeah, I think it’s a good idea!)

Ririka drew up a design in her mind, purchased the necessary fabric, thread, and decorative buttons she needed and returned to the mansion.

Ririka’s sewing skills are quite impressive. Although she does not realize it, she is good enough to run a tailoring shop in the capital. She started with her grandmother’s care to make repairs, but before she knew it, her grandmother had raised the standard and Ririka worked hard to meet her goal,?Being able to tailor all of the master’s family’s clothing?.

As a result of her hard work, she has reached a level where she can even make formal clothes for men and women.

Ririka used all of her free time to make clothes for Wilgia.

She took a pattern, made a temporary seam, adjusted the size, used a foot-pedal sewing machine at will, sewed the garment together properly and then embroidered the garment. The formal wear, which took only three days to complete, was as good as if it had been made by a first-class tailor and no one could believe that it had been made by a servant alone.

Wilgia, with his newly finished formal dress and perfectly trimmed hair on the day of the evening party, wore the royal figure of the royal family without pitiful expression ———— with his eyebrows lowered, he could not see the pitiful expression on his face.

?Wilgia-sama, it suits you very well!?

?I don’t know, I don’t feel… comfortable. I mean, you really made clothes… Ririka is amazing?

Wilgia says, staring intently at himself in the mirror. Rather than being surprised by his unusual self, he seemed surprised by Ririka’s ability to change himself so fast.

?Well, now that I’ve done my best, Wilgia-sama will also do his best?

?What should I do??

?First of all, your posture. You need to stand up straight?

Wilgia, who is constantly at his desk, has a habit of slouching. If you don’t start by straightening it out, it doesn’t matter how good you look in the outfit, it will be ruined.

?Next is the facial expression. Make a sharp face?

?Like this?

Wilgia made a sharp expression as Ririka had told her to.

?Yes, so don’t be intimidated and act confidently. If you can do that, it will be perfect. I’m sure you’ll be the center of attention at the evening party!?

?I don’t want to be the center of attention, but… you even made me some clothes, I’ll do my best not to embarrass myself?

?Yes! Then, Have a nice trip!?

I accompanied Wilgia-sama to the gate to see him off before he left for the evening party. Wilgia got into the carriage that was waiting out front and gallantly left for the castle.

The coachman looked twice in surprise at Wilgia’s appearance, which was so far from the rumors.

?I hope you enjoy it, master!?

When Wilzia came back near dawn, he looked worn out and said,?I got crowded… suddenly a lot of people came up to me as if they had turned their hands around?and in an exhausted voice, he simply said,?I’m going to take a bath and go to bed?he fell down on the bed in no time at all.

When Wilgia woke up late the next day, he told me that everyone was surprised by his unusual appearance. His family asked him what had happened and the girls surrounded him and begged to dance with him saying,?We would like to talk with you, Wilgia-sama?. By the way, Wilgia refused everything because he couldn’t dance, but he had a lot of trouble refusing.

?Anyways, I’m glad to hear that everyone could see how wonderful Wilgia-sama is!?

?I that so, it seems that they only saw the top?

?What do you mean? I am sure they have seen the charm of Wilgia-sama, including his appearance?

?Is that so…?

Wilgia, who put his hand on his hair suddenly saw Ririka, perhaps his short bangs were still unsettling.

?You too??

?Yes??

?Did you like it when you saw my face??

Ririka smiled at Wilgia, who had a suspicious look on his face.

?I like Master’s face no matter what, but it makes me proud to see others admire you?

?I see…?

Wilgia tugged at her bangs and nodded approvingly.
