The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 445

Chapter 445: A Tiara Made with Love (II)

Primrose blinked. Well... that kind of goal did sound nice.

Nina set the gown aside and picked up the next one. It was a black velvet gown with silver embroidery shaped like crescent moons.

"Hm... mysterious, enchanting... but still too dark," Nina murmured. "We can’t have a dress that makes you look like you’re about to start a war."

She circled the rows of gowns a few times before stopping in front of a ruby-red dress trimmed with white along the sleeves and down the center.

The embroidery on the gown was stitched with silver accents, making it match her tiara perfectly. Meanwhile, the emeralds would create a beautiful contrast against the gown and her hair color.

"This one is perfect!" Nina exclaimed, unable to hide her excitement. She checked every inch of the dress and said, "I’ll probably need to fix a few parts. Your Majesty, would you allow me to stay here tonight?"

[Honestly, I also want to save money on lodging. It costs an arm and a leg when winter comes,] Nina thought. [Besides... if I stay here, maybe I can look for that music box.]

Primrose chuckled inwardly. Nina sounded so confident that she could somehow get her hands on the music box, but the queen always kept that ancient item close, close enough to guard, but never close enough for Nina to see.

"Of course, Lady Nina." Primrose smiled warmly. "I’ll tell the maids to prepare a room for you." She hesitated for a moment, then added, "And... what about my husband’s outfit?"

Nina froze, finally realizing that the queen wouldn’t be attending the banquet alone. But could she really be blamed? Women’s outfits were always so much more beautiful and detailed than men’s, even if it was royal attire.

She looked over the King’s clothes just a few times before deciding, "His Majesty can wear that one," she said confidently. "I’ll only need to add a brooch and a sash."

She pointed at the black royal attire with silver embroidery. Since a king wouldn’t wear a tiara, Nina probably chose the one that matched the queen’s gown the best.

Well, Edmund didn’t seem to care much about what kind of royal attire he would be wearing anyway. Besides, no matter what he wore, he would always look incredibly handsome.

"I’ll let His Majesty know," Primrose said softly.

Now that Nina had chosen their outfits for the banquet, Primrose shifted the topic. "Lady Nina, I also noticed that you seemed interested in the item my husband bought at the auction this afternoon."

Nina froze the moment she heard that. She took a deep breath, then slowly turned toward the queen. "Yes, the music box. That was what I wanted."

[Why is she suddenly bringing this up?] Nina clicked her tongue in her mind, clearly annoyed that Primrose was reminding her of something she couldn’t get.

"Then I must apologize for taking something you wanted, Lady Nina," Primrose said gently.

[If she really feels sorry, then she should give the music box to me!]

Even though she was fuming in her mind, Nina spoke calmly on the outside. "You didn’t steal anything, Your Majesty. It was an auction, and you got the music box fair and square." She then added, "But Your Majesty... may I ask why you wanted that music box?"

After that... Primrose would figure out the rest later.

"Really?!" Nina’s eyes sparkled the moment Primrose said that. "You truly mean it, Your Majesty?"

Primrose nodded. "Yes, I do." Her smile deepened. "I’ll let you see it after the banquet. If it’s such an important item, then I’d also like to learn its history."

[Forget the history! I’m going to destroy it the moment I get my hands on—]

"But please be careful," Primrose suddenly added, making Nina’s thoughts stop in their tracks. "My husband considers the music box precious, so I don’t want anything happening to it."

Nina bit the inside of her cheek, trying to control her excitement. "Of course, Your Majesty. I only want to see it up close, nothing more."

[Damn it! If the King truly treasures that thing, then I can’t destroy it openly. I’ll need another plan.]

Nina’s mind raced with countless ideas, but since they had nothing else to discuss, Primrose decided to leave the room, leaving her alone in the dressing room.

"Your Majesty, would you like to take a bath?" Marielle asked. "I can prepare hot water for you."

Primrose thought for a moment before replying, "I’ll bathe, but I think I’ll use the bathhouse. So you don’t have to prepare the hot water."
