Chapter 14

She needed time. Because the demand is high and supply takes time, it is common to wait several months even after making a reservation.

The only exception was the king. However, the king also considered his relationship with the nobility, and, unless it was a special case, he made an appointment in advance, set a schedule, and ordered the clothes.

Under such circumstances, nobles had to wait patiently until it was their turn to have their clothes made in <Book of Knights>, no matter how high the status or how much money they had.

Even if Raynor Stud’s injury was due to an unexpected accident, it could not be said that the duke, who had been waiting for more than half a year, was now unable to make clothes. Doing so will break trust in <Book of Knights>.

It will be their loss.

There was nothing more fatal than not being able to create and deliver new clothes on time while dealing with nobles who like to show off their fancy costumes and jewels at public events.

“…what?”

Helena sighed as she couldn’t think of any sharper way to get out of this predicament.

From an early age, Helena loved making clothes. She was also very good at work, so her  father would ask Helena for help when there was a shortage of workers. However, she was not an official tailor for <Book of Knights>.

Raynor Stud didn’t want his daughter to become a tailor, even though he knew Helena had extraordinary talent.

This is because she has seen a lot of bad things while dealing with nobles who are picky and do not regard commoners as equals. He didn’t want to make his cherished daughter a tailor and make her suffer.

He was not a nobleman in status, but he also had financial power that surpassed any other nobleman. So, Helena, who had lost her mother early, was raised as a respectable daughter.

Raynor Stud’s life goal was to pass <Book of Knights>, which had been famous for five generations, to his eldest son, and to give his daughter a heavy dowry so that she could marry into a higher-status or good family.

Although Helena did not agree with her father’s ideas,

She was well aware of the feeling of thinking for one’s self. So instead of becoming a full-time tailor, she would occasionally work for <Book of Knights>, helping the family business. Therefore, in this situation where <Book of Knights> was in crisis, there was no official reason to go out.

Even her brother, Tobias, who was the only hope, was also absent. Tobias went on a trip to the East half a year ago to find precious jewels, ornaments, and silk, and to build up knowledge and experience. Even if she urgently contacted him now, it will take at least two or three months to get back.

“Will, there’s only Will, after all.”  Eventually, Helena turned to Willian Croweteeth.

“Yes, yes?”

But when Helena suddenly grabbed his arm and hung onto it, Will jumped.

“Lady, what are you talking about?”

“What do you mean, you’re my father’s disciple, Will. The only one I can trust now is Will. Will can speak to the duke on behalf of my father.”

“I, me? I can’t.” Then Will sighed and shook his head.

“I can’t even follow Master’s footsteps. I can’t stand against a young lady. Besides, how can a guy like me have a conversation with the duke?”

“What does that mean? In <Book of Knights>, the most talented person standing is Will. Do you think Will was simply father’s apprentice?”
