Selena steps forward, "This maid greets Sir Jenz, I am Rimes Selena . Third Miss' bondmaid" Selena introduces herself . Sir Jenz nods, "Miss Selena" Sir Jenz says .
Papa picks up Rosemary and smiles at Lucy . "Jenz will take you out to shop . Have them send me a tab for whatever you buy . Why don't we go try to make a rainbow" The last part was directed to Rosemary as Papa carried her out without another word . Lucy's heart almost burst feeling Rose's shy joy . Ahh, so, so, so cute! Lucy quickly shields emotions out .
"When would Imperial Third Miss Jing like to go out?" Sir Jenz asks his eyes on Selena . Selena looks down at Lucy . "Little Mistress?" Selena asks, oblivious of the way Sir Jenz eyebrows furrow . "Fetch my design sketchbook," Lucy says, biting her tongue against the urge to say please . It feels so unnatural! Lucy smiles bemusedly .

Aunt Thea used to scold me for not using my manners . Saying a true lady treated every living being with respect . Selena scolds me for acting beneath my status by honoring those below me . Lucy shakes her head .
Lucy flips through the sketchbook when Selena returns, checking to make sure it had the right sketches . "Okay, we can go now . Ple-" Lucy coughs . "This Imperial Miss would be pleased if Sir Jenz escorted us at this time" Lucy corrects herself .

"In that case, Little Mistress . We must get you adorned for being in public" Selena says, making Lucy stiffen . Dragged off her to the bedchamber, her hair was quickly covered with ribbons and glittery hairpins . Lucy was stripped of her comfy dress and forced into five silk petticoats and a long sleeve blouse . Over which, an embroidered skirt, and a jacket tied it together .
An uncut diamond hung on a rough silk rope around her neck, while countless gold bangles slid on both wrists, and from her earlobes dripped teardrop pearls .
I look like an advertisement for robbery . Seriously, don't diamonds and pearls clash? Plus, this is too many bangles! Lucy pouts, as Selena carries her to the carriage .
Lucy leans against Selena's body . Mmm, Selena always smells so nice . Lucy yawns . Before she can drift off, the carriage stops . "Imperial Third Miss, Miss Selena . We have arrived at Mister Cole's workshop . " Sir Jenz's voice comes in from the outside .
Mister Cole looked to be in his late twenties, but his eyes seemed older . Selena gently sets her down and kneels . Lucy blinks, as Sir Jenz kneels as well . After a second, Lucy gives a respectful bow and says . "This Imperial Miss greets Mister Cole," Selena isn't cringing so I must be doing okay . Confidence boosted, Lucy looks up at Mister Cole, to see him nod cooly . "Third Imperial Miss Jing, what can this craftsman do for you?" He asks .
Lucy accepts the sketchbook from Selena and pulls out the sketches . She holds them up to him . "Can you make these?" Lucy asks, hopefully . "I want to give my Mommy and sisters a present," Lucy says . Mister Cole looks carefully at the sketches, his eyes shining . "Aye . I can . May I inquire who designed these?" Mister Cole asks, flipping through the pages . A rocking chair, a porch swing, a shape sorter toy, nesting dolls, a drafting table, and a set of Zilic alphabet blocks .
Lucy hesitates . "Uh . I made them . Are they bad?" Lucy asks . His eyebrow lifts . "You?" Mister Cole mummers . Lucy ignores his doubtful eyes . After all, she didn't actually come up with the design of these things . She just copied them . "I like drawing," Lucy says truthfully . "Will you make it?" Lucy asks, attempting to change the subject .
"I will, Third Imperial Miss Jing . However, you'll have to go to a smith for the chain for this bench swing," He says, pointing to the porch swing . Lucy nods . "Good, start with this one," Lucy says pointing to the rocking chair . "It is for my- My Concubine mother . It must be made to perfection" Lucy says, her face dark . Stupid customs . Not allowed to call her Mommy or Mom .
"I shall perform to the best of my abilities . " Mister Cole answers . While Selena arranged for the bill to be sent to Jing Palace . Lucy turns to a fresh page in her sketchbook, sketching out the porch swing again, doing a few close sketches of the chains .
