“The important thing isn’t convenience, but elegance. Little Fox, you should gradually get used to this.”
“But if it’s not convenient, how can you be elegant?”
“For many noblewomen, this is an instinct acquired through years of practice. It might indeed be a bit too difficult for a little fox, but with me here, you don’t need to worry at all. I won’t let you embarrass yourself, Little Fox.”
Serveyia’s words were filled with the intention of making Lin Sheng rely on her more, and Lin Sheng had to admit that he really seemed to have no other choice now.
So, “reluctantly,” Lin Sheng “cheerfully” accepted Serveyia’s suggestion.
Of course, the process of getting dressed was also barely completed with Serveyia’s help.
There was no other way.
After all, Lin Sheng knew nothing about women’s clothing.
Even though his roommate Yike often wore women’s clothes during livestreams, Lin Sheng wasn’t perverted enough to secretly watch the change of clothes process.
“Little Fox, you’re almost dressed. Try it yourself and see if it fits?”
“Mm, it’s a bit tight, but surprisingly not bad?”
The fabric was unexpectedly stretchy.
Although it looked small on the hanger, it fit surprisingly well when worn.
The mermaid design of the ball gown’s hem made it hard to walk with wide steps, but that was a minor issue, the kind one could fully accept.
“Little Fox, you should believe in our Saint Laia’s craftsmanship. We even considered your tail. How is it?”
“A bit strange…”
Indeed, just as Serveyia said, there was a tail opening specially designed at the back of the outfit.
But how to put it?
The opening seemed a bit tight.
That is, while his body felt comfortable, his tail felt a bit constrained.
This sense of restriction made Lin Sheng uneasy, like someone was constantly tickling him with a feather.
“It feels like my tail is a bit constricted here…”
Honestly, as long as the discomfort wasn’t severe, Lin Sheng wouldn’t have complained to Serveyia.
In his eyes, nobles usually treated their clothes as consumables.
If something didn’t fit, would they just throw it away?
Although the outfit had a minor flaw, it was specially designed for him.
If it was discarded because of a single complaint, that would be such a waste, right?
“Seems like it’s too late to fix it now. Little Fox, can you endure it? The event should last only a morning or so.”
“I can manage, just a little uncomfortable…”
“That’s good. I’ll make sure to tell the tailor. For today, I’ll have to ask Little Fox to bear with it.”
Serveyia squatted behind Lin Sheng, trying to adjust the tail opening.
But after a few attempts with no effect, she stood up, looking slightly frustrated.
“I did say you’d have to bear a little hardship, but that’s not the only thing.”
“T-There’s more?”
“I’m sorry, but there’s one more thing. High heels.”
“High heels?! No, no, this is really going to kill me, seriously.”
Hearing Serveyia’s words, Lin Sheng shook his head desperately.
Wearing women’s clothes was already a big challenge.
If he had to wear high heels too, he might not even be able to walk properly.
“How could high heels kill you, Little Fox? High heels perfectly accentuate your figure. They’re not some monstrous disaster~”
“But, but this dress is already tight enough. If I wear high heels too, can I even walk?”
“As long as you hold my hand, Little Fox, won’t it be fine?”
For some reason, Lin Sheng felt Serveyia was doing this on purpose—to make him rely on her even more, she’d prepared such an outfit.
“But, but I’m already wearing a long dress. Does it even matter what shoes I wear?”
“But as the Princess of St. Laia, high heels are an inescapable part. Even if you come up with various reasons to avoid them today, you’ll have to wear them someday. In a way, it’s something you can’t escape. Since you can’t avoid it, why not try accepting it? Practicing now will save you suffering later.”
Lin Sheng pouted. Even though Serveyia was his Maid, why did it feel like he was the one being overpowered?
Seeing Lin Sheng reluctantly accept, Serveyia smiled, knelt in front of him, put high heels on his feet, and then supported him.
“How about it? Try walking a few steps.”
To Lin Sheng, Serveyia’s only mercy was choosing a pair of not-too-high high heels, making it much easier to accept.
“When walking, put your heel down first, then naturally shift to the ball of your foot. If it’s too hard to manage, you can lean on me.”
Supported by Serveyia, Lin Sheng staggered around the room a few times, feeling like he’d gotten the hang of it.
He finally felt less anxious and tried letting go of Serveyia’s hand to walk a few steps.
But from Serveyia’s perspective, Lin Sheng’s steps were no different from Han Dan’s Step—clumsy and awkward.
It was barely a decent performance, but still far from elegant.
She couldn’t let the Princess of St. Laia go out like this.
Thinking this, Serveyia sighed and walked over to Lin Sheng, linking arms with him once again.
