Chapter 323: The Change in the Lavender Territory Household
(Urla… No, I guess it’s not really surprising, but isn’t she just too pretty?)
Rest knew that Urla Lavender was a beautiful girl with refined features.
He also thought that if she dressed up, she’d probably become even cuter.
But… now that he was actually seeing Urla, perfectly dressed up, the shock was so great he was left speechless.
To Rest, Urla Lavender had always been “a bit gloomy, but not a bad person.”
She rarely spoke on her own initiative, and despite her good looks, she never tried to stand out — a classic introverted beauty.
But now… the impression of the Urla in front of him was the complete opposite. She was the image of a perfect young lady, a flawless beauty.
(Why is she even dressed like that… Wait, maybe this is just her loungewear, and she always dresses like this at home?)
While most people wore casual clothes at home and dressed up when going out, perhaps Urla was different.
(Don’t tell me… she dressed up for me? No no, that can’t be it.)
Rest wasn’t like one of those delusional guys.
Just because a girl dressed up a little, he wasn’t the type to smugly think, “She did this for me!”
He quickly calmed himself, straightened his back, and placed a hand over his chest.
“Ah… thank you for inviting me today.”
“…………Yes.”
“To be invited to the home of the most powerful figure in the eastern part of the kingdom — the Lavender Territory— is truly an honor. I’d love to greet him later if possible.”
“…………”
Urla stayed silent.
She silently stared intently at Rest’s face.
“Uh… Urla?”
“Ahem.”
Urla had gone quiet.
As Rest struggled with how to react, the butler beside him let out a loud, deliberate cough.
“Yes…?”
“Ahem. AHEM! AHH-HEM!”
When Rest looked over, the butler kept coughing pointedly.
His eyes seemed to be trying to say something, as if urging Rest to act.
“Koff koff.”
“Hack.”
“Umm… hmm…”
And it wasn’t just the butler.
Other maids and servants were clearing their throats and making noises — silently pressing Rest with a heavy atmosphere.
(Don’t tell me there’s a cold going around in the Lavender estate…? No way.)
Rest finally realized what they wanted.
He took a deep breath and turned back toward Urla.
“U-Urla… san?”
“Urla.”
“Urla…”
“Mm.”
“U-uh… you look great. I think you look… really cute today. Or, well, as always.”
“…………”
It was a clumsy compliment.
Rest could handle Viola or Primula better, but he’d never said something like this to Urla before, so he was nervous.
“Haaaaaa…”
A collective sigh echoed from the surrounding servants at Rest’s not-so-smooth line.
(Sorry, okay!? It’s not like I can just spew sweet lines like that on command…!)
He grumbled internally… but what came next hit him hard.
“Cute… I’m happy.”
“Hiiieee—!!”
Urla gave an incredibly radiant smile.
Right there in front of him — a stunningly beautiful girl was smiling directly at him.
Because she was normally so expressionless, that one smile had devastating power.
(An expressionless beauty showing a rare smile… The destructive power is off the charts…!)
“Well, that passes.”
“Acceptable. The young lady’s smile says it all.”
“He is a teenage boy, after all. That was probably his best.”
“I actually found it charming. I heard he has multiple fiancées… but he’s still refreshingly innocent.”
The surrounding servants muttered among themselves in low voices.
Rest wanted to complain, “Hey, don’t just judge a guest like that!”, but since their reactions were positive, he decided to let it slide.
“Tea has been prepared in that room. Please, this way.”
“Coming.”
The butler gestured to a room in the back, and Urla happily waved her hand to invite him over.
“The Lavender Territory household… it’s way more fun than I expected…”
The tension he’d felt coming here—what was that even for?
Feeling his shoulders relax, Rest reminded himself: No no, got to stay sharp, and pulled the thread of tension taut once again.
