“Did you all read the newspaper? I don’t know who Miss A is, but I hope she’s not someone I know. Someone who treats the weak so cruelly.”
It was a topic raised by Dane, who was famous for his popularity and wide network of connections among his peers.
“Just in case, check once in a while. I asked my younger siblings and they said it wasn’t true.”
He also created a negative atmosphere in which the male nobles would look for noblewoman A at Shailene’s request.
After hearing Dane’s words, the men began to ask their families, lovers, and friends.
All kinds of gossip magazines and newspapers were also busy trying to find ‘Aristocrat A’.
As various speculations ran rampant, the number of young women suspected of being Miss A increased.
It was a time when they were desperately trying to deny the truth, as they were in danger of being branded with a huge stigma.
The news of Rain’s costume shop opening was widely announced.
Shailene, who broke the story at an opportune time, took further action.
Shailene had one purpose in forming public opinion in this way.
‘If this continues, won’t everyone come to Blue Moon and learn?’
To make the young ladies walk to the costume shop so that they won’t be pointed out as noble Miss A.
In the first place, Shaylin did not bring up Noble A to expose Johanna Calciard’s misdeeds.
It was just a means.
When the Cream Rose costume shop collapsed, instead of scattering the guests there, they gathered together at Blue Moon.
So, the Duke of Calciard was unable to come forward easily and just watched the situation unfold.
If we step forward and say something and get caught, it will only hurt our reputation.
‘Even if everyone comes here reluctantly at first, they will acknowledge Rain’s skills once they see him.’
They will painfully realize who the real Cream Rose they loved was.
And Shailene’s intentions paid off, as Blue Moon’s costume shop was packed with people just days after opening.
“I couldn’t not come because I was worried I would be labeled as a noble Miss A.”
“Me too. Did you see the reporters lined up in the alley? They’re checking who’s coming and going.”
“Oh my, we’re the only ones suffering because of one random person… … But don’t you think the clothes are better than you thought?”
Those who reluctantly visited were gradually moved by the sight of Rain’s collection of dresses hanging inside the costume shop.
“I guess it wasn’t a lie that the Cream Rose costume shop made all the dresses. The new clothes they have out now are all very outdated.”
“Oh, I can never go to Cream Rose again. Do you think it would be okay to come here often from now on?”
“Yes, I saw the clothes that Smile Youngae wore yesterday and they were so pretty. I want to receive them soon too.”
Sensual and sophisticated design, unique color combinations, and detailed and elaborate sewing.
There is an eye for detail that allows her to recommend dresses tailored to each individual, and a service spirit that is blunt yet thorough.
Everything came together to make people increasingly genuinely interested in the Blue Moon Costume Shop.
* * *
Rain’s costume shop was a success.
Like many other young ladies who frequent the place, I also used the Blue Moon.
And I watched many young ladies come and go.
It was late in the evening when Lane, who had just finished his business, brought me tea.
“Thank you, Rain. I’ve been listening to people talk about your clothes and they all seem to like them. Congratulations.”
“No. If it weren’t for you, young lady, I wouldn’t have been able to do it. I am truly grateful.”
He waved his hand and smiled at Lane, who nodded.
Rain followed me and laughed, then suddenly remembered something and said.
“Oh, that’s right. I looked into what you said.”
“huh.”
My eyes sparkled because I had been waiting for this news.
I had asked Lane to find out a little bit about the source of the rumors surrounding me through the customers who came to the costume shop.
“According to Mrs Hooper, who is always the first to hear about society gossip, the rumor first came from the upper house run by the Viscount Robben.”

“Roben… … ?”
I frowned and tilted my head at the name that seemed somehow familiar.
Where have I heard this before… … ?
“……ah!”
A brief memory flashed through my mind, like a flash of lightning.
Gwen Charophée’s maternal family was the Viscountess Robben.
“I also heard that the younger brother of Count Robben came up to the capital and is taking refuge with the Count’s family. He said it was Count Charophet and his daughter… … Are they family?”
Rain asked cautiously. I nodded without denying.
‘Yes, in fact, it was something that could only have been spread by those people.’
I was demonized, and Count Charophet was made into the good victim.
I felt a bit uneasy inside because I could see some intention behind it.
‘You whined so much because I didn’t reply, but you finally came in person.’
Then I can’t just stay still either.
‘It is the law that one must return what one has received.’
* * *
The Viscount Robben family was originally a humble family, but the current Viscount became quite successful as a merchant, and the family’s fortunes improved.
Although he may not have been the richest man in the empire, he was relatively wealthy in the capital.
The fact that the family, who had originally lived in a local fiefdom, came up to the capital gave an idea of their level of wealth.
On the other hand, Gwen, who had blown all her money and was deep in debt, could not even afford to buy a decent house in the capital.
So it was natural that I would lean on my brother, Viscount Robben.
Of course, Viscount Robben, who had some idea of his sister’s financial situation, did not welcome her warmly.
To convince him, Gwen made a promise.
‘One of the reasons I came to the capital is Janis’s marriage. I will marry Janis off to a nobleman of a higher family than ours. Then I will pass the remaining earldom to your brother’s son. In return, you take responsibility for us while we stay in the capital.’
‘… …Is that true?’
‘Of course! Write me a memorandum?’
So Gwen and her daughter entered the Robben household and began spreading rumors about Shailene everywhere.
As I went around shopping with the money they gave me from the author’s aid, their words spread more widely than I expected.
‘You damn thing, I’ll never see you eating well and living well on your own.’
Gwen was content with the rumors that spread contrary to the truth.
I thought it would be a success if Shailene were to become an outcast in the capital’s social circles and then, in despair, come down to the earldom.
but.
‘Did you hear that? It wasn’t Shailene Youngae who was extravagant, but the second daughter of that house who spent a lot of money and ended up in debt.’
‘You said the Count was going to sell his eldest daughter off as a way to pay off her debts, right? That’s why she ran away to the Duke of Diat’s house.’
‘That’s not all. They say they squeezed the blood of the people of Yeongji to raise slush funds.’
‘Oh my, oh my. Oh my! Lady Charophet must have had a hard time. The Count and his daughter really have no conscience.’
One day, the rumor changed.
Accordingly, the target of the abuse changed from Shailene to Gwen and her mother.
‘What the heck is going on? Who the hell did this…?’
Gwen was extremely embarrassed.
Although Shailene was a social sensation, her status was not that great. So I thought no one would take Shailene’s side.
Even the Duke of Diat, whose family itself is known for being lukewarm to social activities, was not expected to respond in any way. How did this come about?
Janice came to see her while she was busy trying to find out more details.
“Mom! I found a costume shop that I want to go to. Please come with me.”
“Later. Mom is busy right now.”
Janice, immersed in the glamour of the capital’s life, nags her mother recklessly.
“Oh, I heard it’s a popular place among young ladies these days. If you don’t go, you might end up being the subject of gossip.”
“What? That won’t work. Where?”
“This is the Blue Moon costume shop.”
Eventually, Gwen put off digging into the source of the rumors for a moment and headed to the Blue Moon costume shop with Janice.
As I was almost at the store, a familiar face walked up from across the street.
Charang has silver hair and blue eyes.
‘Shailene… …!’
The eyes of the mother and daughter who met Shailene in an unexpected place grew wide.
