The Blond Male Lead is Too Much - Chapter 71
Only Ran(o)vel dot com
“The first step is to introduce the dress. The participants will enter one by one through that door.”
People’s eyes turned to the door leading to the hallway.
Soon, the young ladies appeared, more beautifully adorned than ever before.
They strutted across the carpet and stood in front of the stage, explaining how their dresses fit the theme of ‘Summer Within Me’.
“It’s a dress with classic elegance that’s perfect for summer. Yes, please look at it.”
“I tried to incorporate the vibrant nature of summer into the dress. In particular, I tried to use a lot of fresh flowers to give the feeling of walking through a flower field.”
Some people shyly, some actively promoted themselves.
While some people tried to stick to the topic as much as possible, others were too motivated or lacked ideas and strayed from the topic.
Janice was one of those who wore a dress that was active but detached from the topic.
“My biggest strength is that I am bright and cute, so I chose a dress with a similar vibe. Doesn’t it suit me really well?”
She spun around, holding onto the hem of her dress. But the response from the people was just so-so.
The capital’s nobles didn’t know her very well, and there was nothing special about her dress, so it couldn’t have been otherwise.
Eventually Janice entered with a red face, followed by several other young ladies, until finally a strong candidate for queen emerged.
“Oh my, it’s Princess Calciard’s turn!”
“Will the princess become queen again this year?”
“Isn’t that highly likely? Look, they’re on a whole other level than the young ladies that came before… … .”
People’s eyes were drawn to Johanna, who was walking on the carpet as if in a trance.
The bright red dress was covered in gold embroidery and white lace, almost too much, but she carried it off quite well.
The chandelier lights made the ornaments and jewels sparkle.
Johanna stopped walking in front of the stage and smiled smoothly.
“When you become a socialite, you get a golden rose. I tried to express summer roses in my dress to match that.”
The dress that hugged her slender body definitely made her look like a rose, and there was an intensity to it that made the previous contestants disappear in an instant.
In addition, Johanna’s proud attitude went well with the mood of the dress.
A rose of high society blooming in the hot sun.
It was that in itself.
“Also, the thorny splendor of the rose is similar to my personality. The summer inside me is like a rose.”
The crowd murmured as Johanna added further explanation.
“This year’s queen will be Princess Calciad.”
“Do we need to see the next contestant? The match is already decided.”
“Tsk tsk, it’s too bad that Young-ae came after the princess. She shouldn’t be compared properly.”
She chuckled as she heard the murmuring.
‘It’s my victory, after all.’
She exchanged a brief glance with the empress and then stepped aside with an arrogant smile.
Squeak, the door opened and the next contestant slowly appeared.
Coincidentally, she was Shailene.
Her silver hair sparkled like stars under the chandelier.
The dress, which seemed to depict a mermaid wrapped in bubbles, wrapped around her long, slender body, creating a mysterious and elegant atmosphere.
But there was something else that really caught people’s attention.
That’s right, the front of the dress was open all the way to the knees.
“Oh my god!”
“I’ve never seen a dress like that before.”
“To reveal the lines like that… … .”
The dress of the Herzen Empire was basically a flowing style that lasted all year round, so it was bound to be shocking in many ways.
Despite receiving astonished looks from everyone, Shailene walked forward with an upright posture, unwavering.
The back of the dress, long and flowing like a mermaid’s tail, fluttered gently.
The white, dense face stared straight ahead, and the red, plump lips formed a faint smile.
People who saw her with such a proud attitude were so surprised that they were dumbfounded.
“Tsk, that’s ridiculous.”
The empress spread out her fan and looked at Shailene disapprovingly.
On the other hand, the empress looked at Shailene with a calm face. It was a neutral look, without any special favor or hostility.
Shailene, standing in front of them, opened her mouth softly.
“I think many people were surprised when they saw my dress. First of all, I put the romance and fantasy that can be felt at the summer sea into the dress.”
This was also in line with the original concept of Shailene’s dress.
Because it was a dress that portrayed the sparkling summer sea as it was.
The introduction was also flexibly changed to match the current changes, starting with the dress neckline.
“But this year’s theme is not just summer, it’s the summer inside me. So I thought I should also portray my inner values. That’s courage and confidence.”

A clear and pleasant voice echoed throughout the hall.
His bright blue eyes looked at the empress.
“So I hope you don’t think that my revealing my legs is just a simple exposure. It’s a sign of courage to boldly challenge new attempts and changes, and confidence to follow my own path without being concerned about what others think.”
The onlookers were stirred by the young Yeong-ae’s bold remark.
“When you say it like that, it does look a little different. It seems like a dress that fits your intentions well.”
“Courage and confidence. These are values that people tend to forget as they live, so they shine even brighter.”
“First of all, I think the subject matter has been analyzed and expressed more deeply than in previous works. In fact, the subject matter exists for a reason, and this is the right way to approach it.”
What seemed like an aberration at first glance now feels genuine.
Meanwhile, the Duke of Diat’s family, who arrived on time, also reacted positively to Shailene.
“Ahem, my granddaughter should have that kind of spirit of challenge.”
“Oh, Shailene is so cool?”
“As long as it suits you, that’s fine. What’s wrong with wearing whatever you want?”
The empress frowned, noticing the strange atmosphere surrounding Shailene.
She was pushing Johanna Calciard as this year’s socialite queen.
The empress, who had folded her debts, pointed out with narrowed eyes.
“If you look at it that way, isn’t that just stupid stubbornness? You could say it’s self-centered and selfish.”
Before Shailene could respond, the Empress’s mouth opened.
“But if you look at it another way, you could say he’s a person with a strong will.”
“… … !”
Unlike the Empress, the Empress’s words were in defense of Shailene.
The empress smiled faintly.
I had no intention of biasing today’s judging just because of the previous relationship.
But what Shailene had just said shook her heart.
Courage and confidence.
Because it was always a value that the Empress held important.
“Is there anything else you intended to do besides courage and confidence?”
Shailene answered the Empress’s question without hesitation.
“It’s convenience. Isn’t it too stuffy and uncomfortable to wear a dress on a hot summer day? It’s also uncomfortable to move around in.”
The female nobles who agreed with those words each nodded their heads.
Shailene continued in a confident voice.
“In contrast, my dress is open and light, allowing for more freedom of movement and freedom of movement. It’s comfortable to wear in the summer.”
“That is truly an undeniable fact.”
The Empress admitted with a smile. Courage and confidence are subjective values, but convenience is objective.
Some of the female nobles who agreed to this also began to look at Shailene with interest.
“I heard you well. You may leave now.”
“It was an honor, Your Majesty.”
Shailene greeted her politely, lifting up her dress.
It was a flawless, perfect posture.
The dress introduction came to a close with her being the last one to appear.
Next, it was time to dance together publicly with each of their partners and be evaluated.
Shailene whispered as she took Chester’s hand and led him out into the middle of the hall.
“We have to dance so hard that we feel like we’re going to die.”
This is because the reactions of the Empress and the Consort were so dramatically different during the introduction of the dress just before, making it difficult to predict what would happen.
If this happens, there is a high possibility that the winner will be decided through the dance evaluation.
“… … I will try my best.”
Chester flinched at Shailene’s glaring gaze and responded softly.
The two men held hands and posed while the court orchestra prepared to play.
Tiing.
The first note announcing the introduction of the song rang out briskly.
At the same time, Chester grabbed her slender waist with his thick-boned hands and moved it gently.
It was a pretty good start.
Their gorgeous appearance adds to their strong presence among people.
But trouble came quickly.
‘Tch, that’s bad luck! Eight!’
Janice, who had been glaring at the two with jealous eyes, pretended to pass by and quickly stepped toward Chester.
“… … !”
