Villainess Is Changing Her Role To A BroCon

Chapter 119

“My grandmother was born an imperial princess and married into our family. Concerning such a status, relics such as dresses are supposed to be given away as a memento to those close to her. I did so after the funeral, but I still have this many items left. As some of you may know, my grandmother was a woman who was very interested in fashion.” (Ekaterina)

Ekaterina added.

“I’m sure my grandmother would be pleased if her dresses were useful in nurturing the sensibilities of the young ladies who will continue to shoulder the future of the empire.” (Ekaterina)

It’s a lie! I can’t allow my dress to become the property of a baroness! I’m sure she would furiously say something like that behind her grave!

But that’s alright!

If you want to come crawling out of the grave in the style of a certain Sadako*, come and see me, I’ll take you up on it, you old hag. I’ll bury you to the depths with earth magic.

(E/N: Sadako, from “The Ring” horror series. The japanese version).

“I think it is due to my grandmother’s guidance that so many of you ladies have gathered here today. As you all know, the school will be holding a ball in the second semester. I would be pleased if this could be of help to you when you are considering your costumes for that occasion. I am sorry to say that these are all old items, but it would be interesting to incorporate them into the current trends as materials. I hope you will make use of them in various ways.” (Ekaterina)

To be frank, I’d be happy to sell them off. Even if you are a nobleman, circumstances vary, and I’m sure there are families whose lives are difficult.

If my family sells it off by itself, Giorgie, the head of Yurimagna, who loved the old hag, would surely come biting at big brother, and it wouldn’t be good for us to have unneeded speculations and rumors flying around that we might be having financial difficulties, or that we might not be loyal enough to the royal family. But once the item is given away, the recipient is free to do whatever they want with it.

It is customary to give her belongings to the maids. If they were the kind of people who cheated to pay their suppliers, they would have taken all the belongings and sold them off, but they never touched my grandmother’s things.

Judging from the way Nona looked, the array of dresses and jewelry must have been an incarnation of my grandmother to them. Maybe they wanted to think that as long as they had those things in their house, they could act just like grandmother did when she was here. How could I let that be?

“Take a look first, everyone. If you find something you like, please try it on. Our maids will be happy to assist you.” (Ekaterina)

The maids, including Mina, bowed in unison, and after indicating with a gesture more maids appeared behind the girls.

There are many things that can be done, such as taking the dress off the torso and putting it on the body, though it depends on the size of the dress.

In addition, looking at the dress here, it seems that the old hag has kept her body size the same throughout her life. That’s the one thing I’d like to give her credit for. That’s the only good thing about her.

“Oh, but…” (Random Noble)

“Oh no, what should I do…” (Random Noble)

The girls peered around the room with an impatient look on their faces. Now, how am I going to push them along?

But then, a group of three ran into the hall, breathing hard.

The Yes Trio were really lively!

“Oh my, pearls! There are so many real pearls sewn on here!” (Yes Trio 1)

“This is Rainbow Silk! Just as I’ve heard, it shines in seven colors…I’ve never seen it before!” (Yes Trio 2)

“Oh my, which one is the most expensive??” (Yes Trio 3)

…You guys are showing your true colors, aren’t you?

But now all their reservations have been blown away.

Ekaterina looked around at the other girls and smilingly extended her hand into the hall.

“And now, ladies and gentlemen, please.” (Ekaterina)

Let the battle begin, Kahn! (The sound of a gong)
