Chapter 468
Reflecting on his early days as a designer, Koven went through his fair share of hardships.
To learn how to cut clothes more precisely, he worked tirelessly for two whole days without drinking, eating, or sleeping. Yet, his mentor still called his clothes rubbish. At that time, he had lost all hope.
Koven sighed as he recounted the past. It seemed like all his past failures had turned him into the indestructible person he was today.
Koven was known in the industry for his decisiveness, but he was suffocated by Charlotte's suppression today. Once he was done asking Lucy questions, he began pouring his heart out to her.
"I don't understand why... Why did Princess Charlotte insist on having me make clothes for her? There are so many famous designers in the world, so why did she have to cling to me?"
Lucy understood why Charlotte insisted on choosing Koven. She must have found Koven's weakness, which was what she used to threaten him. Not wanting to speak ill of others in front of Koven, Lucy smoothed over her response.
"Charlotte is younger than me, so there are many things she doesn't quite understand yet because of her lack of experience. She's just a little girl, you know. If she has offended you in any way, I'd like to apologize on her behalf. Would that be okay with you?"
Koven brushed it off. "I know you're lying to me. Everyone knows that you two aren't real sisters. It's no wonder your personalities are so different." Koven had heard the rumors that Lucy was a long-lost princess.
Perhaps because of the hardships Lucy had endured in the past, she did not end up as spoiled as Charlotte, who always did as she pleased in the palace. She assumed everyone would listen to her.
In the outside world, she treated others the same way. Whenever things did not go her way, she would resort to threats.
Such behavior was incredibly selfish.
Charlotte had gone too far, so Lucy did not know what to say anymore. Even if she tried to smooth things over with Koven, he would not trust her as his anger toward Charlotte had not subsided yet. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
"How about this? There's a banquet for foreign guests in Charleston tonight. I'll apologize on her behalf and get you a seat at the guest table for the banquet as a show of my sincerity."
Receiving Koven as a guest with the highest form of courtesy would surely calm his anger.
Koven was surprised and honored by the offer. The guestlist of Charleston's royal family usually consisted of government officials or prominent figures in business.
Despite his influence in the fashion industry, Koven could not accept that level of status, so he politely declined Lucy's offer.
"You flatter me. I'm already thankful you came to apologize even though it's not Charlotte apologizing in person. She's lucky to have a sister like you. I hope she cherishes that and doesn't go astray."
The thought of Charlotte threatening him made him grind his teeth in anger.
"Anyway... can you tell me why you want to become a fashion designer? Let me offer you some advice before we proceed. I know you're into drawing, but you must understand how challenging it is to bridge the gap between these two fields."
