She was stunned, she remembered asking Domingo for this set before boarding the ship and he shunned her, there was a note beside it Only the best for you, Amore MiO, I can imagine how the dress will look on you, wear it, I will love to see you in it tonight. Cassie breathed out,“Dear, lord,he does know how to woo lady’s heart. She looked at the dress again, it’s exquisite and also very, very open with slits to showcase her legs, her bodice barely covered, she shook her head.

It can only be Vittoria; “Come, I need to introduce to you to my new mistress.” Buccolini announced as he covered the spaces between them. New mistress? Buccolini changes his mistress every season. It's already a thing. “A new mistress? I bet she's going to be as fine as the others.” Antonio said walking up to his father in law with his hand crossed against his back. “Come let me show you.” Buccolini said and he led him away until they reached the table where Antonio stood shocked as he recognised the woman sitting at the table with a dress that barely covered her skin.

I guess I could say they were quickly becoming more than just maids. I also felt for them to be this way still this would have been the same way they had been to Miss Amira, Lycan Darius' late wife. I shivered again when I remembered the cause of her death. The seamstress came back with a wedding gown because earlier she had been taking my measurements for a perfect fit and had been making me change into different gowns. This particular one did seem lovely. I wondered if she had within a few minutes created something. I wore it and even my maids were forced to clap at the sight.

Estrella “Thank you,” I murmur as one of the Dun’s Crossing seamstresses pins another fold of my skirt in place. After a few days of what Tess deemed arguing, though I would more rightly call it standing my ground, the flock of women assigned to make my wedding dress have finally understood that I will not be—at least exclusively—wearing the dull neutrals so common in this kingdom. The head seamstress, ironically named Bright, in particular tried to put her foot down on a traditional charcoal-colored wedding gown. She now stands in the corner of the room with her arms crossed, eying the one pinning the swath of charcoal-shot purple and blue fabric of my skirt like a traitor.

It was easier for her to do that though since Dominic had the head security guard check the seamstress’s things when she arrived. The seamstress arrived there early after breakfast to make clothing for me had been hired by Dominic. He had everything set up in his office, watching me the whole time as I was measured and fitted from head to toe. It didn’t pass my attention that some of the color samples held against my skin were satins and laces in various shades of white.

I had underestimated the weight of the material, which was rich with silver thread embroidery that gleamed with every slight movement. The seamstress circled me like a resolute bird, her brows knitted in concentration behind wire-rimmed glasses, her old hands deft and swift as she fastened and adjusted. She had been the top seamstress of the pack for more than twenty years and every exact fold and measurement demonstrated her skill. She had made ceremonial robes for three generations of leaders. With experienced dexterity, she pulled the bodice into place and whispered, "Just breathe, my Luna. The fabric must adjust to your movements naturally."

Mirrors line the walls from floor to ceiling, throwing my image back at me again and again until I don’t know where to rest my eyes. I look everywhere at once and nowhere at all. A woman stands near a chaise lounge, her posture straight, her hands folded neatly in front of her. The seamstress. She’s older, dressed in neutral gray, her expression professional and distant. “Come here,” she says, her voice calm and practiced. I hesitate, then walk toward her. My steps feel loud even though the carpet swallows the sound. She doesn’t ask my name. She doesn’t make conversation. She lifts a measuring tape and begins working around me with quick, efficient movements.

The seamstress, an older woman named Marta, greeted them at the door. "Luna Gianna, what a pleasant surprise. How can I help you today?" Gianna unwrapped the fabrics and laid them on the counter. Marta gasped. Her hands reached out, then pulled back as if afraid to touch something so fine. "Where did you get these?" she breathed. "I've never seen quality like this. The silk alone must have cost a fortune and this embroidery, it's hand-stitched by highland weavers. I can tell by the pattern."
