Villainess Is Changing Her Role To A BroCon
chapter-50

[Ekaterina’s POV]

Things got really heated from here. Camilla wanted to make the dress simple but gorgeous, while I wanted to keep it simple so that the fabric would stand out.

I was going to leave the design to her, but I didn’t realize how much fun it would be to worry about the dress…! Besides, it gives me a lot of strength to think that I might be able to help my brother and his men.

Thanks to this, now I can look forward to the day of the flower viewing, when I will show off my dress. It’s only a little, though.

“….Young lady, you are a person who thinks differently than your grandmother, aren’t you?”

Ekaterina was almost done with the design of the dress when Camilla said so sincerely, making Ekaterina wonder.

“If I may ask, have you met my grandmother?”

“Yes, when I was just starting out. She was strict…… no, she was regal and proud.”

You can call her an old hag if you want. I can’t say it, but I would like to.

“Is there something wrong with my grandmother……?”

“No!…Well, she was famous for ordering dresses frequently, so I made an effort to catch her attention and made a dress for her. However, although we delivered the dress, she did not like it. Even though it was a gorgeous dress with an intricate design…”

It’s a good thing I’m a working adult. Ekaterina clears her throat.

“Yes, that time……Payment has already been rejected?” (Ekaterina)

“Yes, you know exactly what I mean. We did not receive any payment.” (Camilla)

That Old Hag~~~!!. If you’re so proud, don’t step on a fledgling designer.

“Excuse me, but do you have any proof of non-payment?” (Ekaterina)

“Yes, if that is the case, I have received a letter. It’s from your grandmother’s associate, saying she doesn’t like it and doesn’t acknowledge receiving it, so she won’t pay.” (Camilla)

…I’m getting a headache. You received the actual product, but you don’t want to pay for it because you don’t like it? Are you out of your mind?

“Mina…” (Ekaterina)

“I’ll let the steward know.” (Mina)

“Thank you. Please show the letter to the steward and collect your payment. I apologize for my grandmother’s behavior.” (Ekaterina)

“Thank you…!” (Camilla)

Camilla bows her head deeply.

I guess it’s hard for dress designers to get funding. I’m really sorry about the old hag.

“What a wonderful person you are, young lady. You are kind, you have good taste, you are very young, and you are very knowledgeable…Even though you are the princess of the Duke of Yurinova, you are still very friendly to people like me, and I was very impressed.” (Camilla)

Ah, no. I’m just not a princess on the inside. I’m really sorry.

Well, you’re flattering me, but I feel awkward because I’m feeling like I am scamming people in so many ways.

“Do you like this design? If so, would you like me to be your patron for creating new dresses.” (Ekaterina)

(T/L: MC designed the dress.)

“Yes, it would be my pleasure. If you make any other designs using the heavenly blue, I would be happy to promote it as this design is not very well known yet.” (Camilla)

“That will be great! I also know someone (Alexei’s merchant subordinate) who is open to trying new things. He will surely be enthralled. I may be able to promote it to other noble ladies with the help of both of you.” (Ekaterina)

“That’s very kind of you to say.” (Camilla)

Maybe it will be a plus for Camilla herself. It’s a win-win situation. Win-win, yes, let’s do our best!
