Alice looked at the mass of finely dressed nobles in the hall, expecting them to cast disdained looks towards her or a hushed whisper that she'd pick up anyway for wearing casual clothing in the hall. Yet none of that came even as she walked at the side of the hall wearing the glamoured dress that a strange noble girl practically forced on her. She had no idea what the noble was after as the latter left her aside afterward. Her optimistic side was urging her to take the chance and watch the event like a good girl but her paranoid side skeptically pointed that no noble would have done what she did without having something else in mind. Not to mention that the black haired noble didn't look much older than Alice herself despite trivially doing a trickier glamour than what most older noblewomen used. Breathing a sigh, Alice straightened her back and walked around the hall again as she tried to look for the black haired noble girl, she had some time before the ceremony started.
