In Place of Losing My Memory, I Remembered That I Was the Fiancée of the Capture Target - Chapter 3.8
“How is it?”
As I turned around, the skirt with plenty of drapes spread wide.
“…It’s beautiful, but…”
“But?”
“…It’s annoying that he’s the one who prepared this dress.”
Theodore frowned uncomfortably.
Today is the day of the evening party. I was wearing a dress that Patrick had given me.
The cream-colored dress, abundant with lace, was lovely like a flower. The earrings and necklace were a combination of emeralds and diamonds. My hair was styled up, adorned with flowers of the same color as the dress.
Although even from the memories of my past life wearing dresses were quite usual, dressing up for a party is different. The corset is tight, and it’s a little embarrassing that the back is so exposed… but I can’t help but feel uplifted in such a princess-like attire.
Normally, Patrick, who is my partner, should come to pick me up. However, since he has student council duties, I had to go to the venue first, so I ended up going to school with Theodore.
“Shall I escort you like this?”
While swaying in the carriage, Theodore said.
“But then you’d have to change your jewelry. I don’t like the color of his eyes.”
“…Stop saying such things. Have you decided on a dance partner?”
“Yeah, I’ll be dancing with sister.”
“Anyone but me.”
“I’ll decide randomly.”
Looking out the window, Theodore sighed.
Since the evening party is part of the curriculum, it’s a rule to dance with at least two people. Choosing those partners is also part of the learning process.
“Theo… Do you have someone you’re interested in?”
It’s been three months since enrollment. Theodore seems to have some interaction with female students, but he didn’t seem to have any close friend yet.
“There’s no way.”
Answering while looking out the window, Theodore turned to me.
“More importantly, sister, be careful not to step on my feet when we dance.”
“Ugh… I’ll try…”
“It hurts a lot when you step on my foot with those shoes..”
Saying that, Theodore chuckled lightly.
“…sorry.”
I lost my memory and forgot how to dance.
Although my body remembered basic postures, I had forgotten steps, and I was having trouble dancing.
I had practiced after I recovered my strength, but before I left home, I practiced for the last time with Theodore wearing this dress and struggled with the dress, which was longer and heavier than usual, and I stepped on his foot a few times.
The look on Theodore’s face at that time…I think it must have hurt him a lot.
“You can step on his feet as hard as you want, though.”
Teodoro chuckled as he said this.
“Xia.”
The carriage door opened, and Patrick was standing there.
“I’ve been waiting.”
Saying that, he offered his hand.
After getting down from the carriage, Patrick carefully examined my appearance.
“You look very beautiful, Xia. It suits you well.”
“…Thank you. Rick, you look very handsome too.”
Patrick, dressed in a black evening suit, looked more mature with his hair neatly combed than usual. The sapphire brooch securing his tie was something I gave him as a thank-you for the necklace, as instructed by my mother.
“The student council president must be busy, right? You don’t have to go out of your way to come and greet us.”
Theodore, who got off the carriage, said in a cold tone and with a cold gaze.
“All that’s left for today is the greetings. Since I’ll be accompanying Xia, you can go talk with the girls.”
After replying to Theodore, Patrick offered me his arm.
Placing my hand on his arm, we began to walk towards the venue.
