Chapter 27 Etiquette, Dance and Whalebone Dress(2/2)
"It is worth celebrating that there is no royal family or prince in our country, so there is no title like His Majesty or Princess or Princess. But if you meet royal relatives and nobles from the empire, please remember this title."
"For male aristocrats with higher status than you but do not have government positions, you should call them adults or directly call them aristocratic class. Of course, don't forget to add the name and the prefix of 'respecting'."
"For those male nobles who have a lower status than you, you only need to call them a respected gentleman, and if you wish to express your importance to them, you only need to add their noble title."
Peng Peidu said this and stopped, and I knew she gave me time to remember and copy. I was grateful for her doing this - to be honest, this series of titles made me dizzy, and the local commons in Strand were many different from the imperial commons I learned. I had to copy them one by one and recite them constantly to ensure that I could completely remember these complex and difficult-to-mouthed names.
The simple rest time passed quickly, and Ms. Pengpeidu picked up her teaching stick again, "For clergy, please prefix pious or respectful to them, and must call them their teaching posts, not their lords or yours. This is a manifestation of extremely rude and disrespect for a certain deity."
"For women, the name is more particular. For women who are not married, you should call them Lady - no matter how old she looks, only married women can be called Lady."
"For married women, you should call their husband's surname, not their own name, that is, even if I am married, you should not call me Mrs. Pengpeidu."
"The relationship between women is looser than that between men," Ms. Peng Peidu laughed. "Even if your husband or a lady with a higher title than you, you only need to call him a respected lady."
"There are so many etiquette titles," Seeing that I wrote down all the titles I had mentioned before, Ms. Peng Peidu put down her instruction stick and said something I was extremely grateful for.
But I didn't like her next sentence so much, "Next, it's time to start teaching dance, respected Mr. Salen. It won't be easy."
"But before the teaching of dance poses begins," she said, "we still lack the necessary teaching props."
"You are lucky, Ms. Ponpedu," Erin walked up at this time, "the tailors are back."
"Ah, then everything is ready," Ms. Peng Peidu seemed very happy. She directed two maids on standby to take a large stack of clothes from the four tailors, and then walked back to me.
"This is a daily dress prepared for you, a whale bone long skirt that is specially used for banquets and other occasions. I think you should try it."
"We have also prepared four long hairs for you, all of which are red. Please make sure to try it too."
I held a smooth long skirt made of silk, and suddenly felt embarrassed. This was a woman's clothes - I had never worn them before...
Don't do this, Saren, I heard the voice in my heart say to me, you know, now is not the time to care about these things.
Well, I said to myself in my heart a little depressed, I know, I shouldn't consider these now.
So I raised my head and clenched the daily dress made of silk, "Is there a place to change clothes here?"
"Of course," Peng Peidu pulled me aside, "Please come with me."
I won't go into details about changing clothes... This is not a glorious thing. Of course, I don't mean wearing a skirt. It's just that I've never worn such clothes, and I've made a lot of jokes during the process of wearing them.
So, for the sake of Lagotila, give me some decency and dignity.
All in all, it took me nearly twenty minutes to wear this long dress I wore everyday, with a simple shawl, shirt and a pearl necklace on my upper body.
"After you put on your clothes, you can put on your wig." Ms. Peng Peidu's voice came from outside the locker room. I shook my head, picked up the hair net and wig placed beside me, and slowly put it on my head.
It was also at this moment that I saw myself in the changing mirror... Oh my God, is that really me?
This was the first thought when I saw the figure in the mirror. I could not be called stunning opposite the mirror, but I was at least a beautiful beauty with a very charming charm. My soft red hair draped over my shoulders, and my face, which was not too rough, looked more rounded under the cover of the wig. If it weren't for the faint stubble on my mouth, I would almost think that the end of the mirror was a Chelfidu noble lady.
To be honest, it made me a little strange, but this was indeed my first reaction.
I remembered the makeup skills that ladies like to do the most - it’s hard to imagine what kind of person I will become after applying makeup.
"Are you okay, Mr. Saren?"
"Okay... OK," I responded in a panic, unscrewed the door bolt and walked out of the locker room.
As soon as I walked out, I heard a series of inhalation sounds, and the entire training room suddenly became quiet - so quiet that even the sound of the needle falling to the ground could be heard clearly.
"Garcia is here..." Erin looked at me in a daze and murmured, "You are so beautiful, Salina Noah."
"If it weren't for the stubble on your mouth," Ms. Peng Peidu also rarely lost her composure. She rubbed her hands and looked at me in disbelief. "I would think you were replaced by a certain lady, Mr. Saren."
"Salun!Salun!" The door of the training room was also opened. Hickrad walked in with a happy look on his face and waved the paper tube. "Good news, where has Saren been there?"
I looked at his expression of looking around in a daze in the training room, and I couldn't help but feel a little funny, so I twisted my skirt and walked in front of him.
"Are you looking for me, Hill?"
"What……!?"
Hickrad was obviously frightened by me. He was so shocked that he sat down on the ground, his eyes kept looking up and down.
After a while, he suddenly remembered that he was still sitting on the ground, so he quickly got up with his hands and feet and asked with some difficulty: "Are you Sarah?"
"Of course," I nodded and said with a smile in my own voice, "You won't even be able to hear my voice, are you?"
"Oh my God," Hickrad shook his head subconsciously, "If it weren't for this familiar voice, I would never believe that you were Sarah's. This is crazy!"
"He hasn't put on makeup yet, Hill," Sephili pushed Hickrad with his elbow. "I'm looking forward to it. I don't know what Sarah will look like after putting on makeup."
"The whole Chelfido man will be crazy for him," Hickrad continued to murmur, "he doesn't even need makeup, just cover up his stubble."
"Oh my God," Hickrad walked up to me and stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to hold my hand, but he retracted his hand in fear, "I can guarantee that our plan will succeed."
"The training is not over today, Mr. Saren," Ms. Ponpedu finally remembered her original duties. "You still need to learn to dance, but first of all, we have to teach you how to wear a whale bone dress."
"Whale bone skirt?"
"Ah, here it comes," Erin's face showed a look of sympathy, "I don't like this thing, good luck, dear Sarah."
"What..." I looked at Erin in confusion, but I soon knew why she looked at me sympathetically.
◇◇◇◇◇
"ah----!!"
Ms. Peng Peidu used lightly, and I felt my waist and back were firmly tied, turning into an extremely narrow piece, and the internal organs inside seemed to be squeezed together.
"Oh my God," I began to breathe heavily, looking at Sefili and Erin with the look of looking at the madman, "You are all wearing such skirts to attend the banquet!? I'm almost breathless!"
"Yes, this is the necessary tug for our banquet, dear Savos," Erin looked at me with pity, "I know it's hard, but it's the pain you have to bear."
"No problem," I gritted my teeth and watched Ms. Peng Peidu tighten her waist a little more.
"It's almost done," Ms. Ponpedu smiled, "put on your skirt, respected Mr. Saren."
Two maids walked up to me with luxurious and heavy whale bone skirts. This was indeed a set of clothes that were complicated enough to describe them. Even with the help of two maids, it took me nearly ten minutes to put on this dress.
"Well—" After putting on the skirt, everyone present let out a satisfied hum, and Hickrad laughed even more: "You look a bit noble now, my dear Sarah."
"This is a perfect dress, Mr. Saren," Ms. Ponpedu said with a smile, "I was thinking, maybe the Creator got your gender wrong..."
"Stop, Ms. Pengpeidu," I hurriedly stopped Ms. Pengpeidu, "I think we should start teaching dance, this outfit is slowly murdering me."
Now, I have begun to admire the resilience of the ladies in this country. It is hard to imagine that they can wear such skirts, chat and laugh with other ladies, enjoy dinner, and even dance.
For me, when the feeling of heavy pressure is constantly coming from my chest, it is difficult to even concentrate, let alone socialize or dance with others.
But dancing is something I have to master. Oh my God, I still have to wear such clothes to play the lute and sing! If I had known that things would turn out to be like this, I would rather the curse of the vampire take my life away!
