Chapter 15: 15

It was an answer without hesitation.

The people around her who heard her answer froze.

“Brother, did you choose the gloves?”

Only Seraphine was fine.

Erez, who had stiffened by the strange question, abruptly nodded.

“Then let’s go.”

Seraphine led Erez out of the boutique before Leonhardt caught her.

Seraphine, who was walking a few steps ahead of Erez, stopped shortly after.

And she asked the question she had always wanted to ask.

“Why did you take my side?”

Not long ago, she had asked Leonhardt to bow his head and apologize.

Therefore, Seraphine thought Erez would say that she was at fault and that she should listen to Leonhardt.

“Didn’t you tell me?”

“…….”

“Your honor is the honor of Rubia.”

“…I did.”

Clearly, Erez is saying the same thing as she did, so why is it so awkward?

Seraphine turned and looked at him.

She still didn’t know what her expressionless brother was thinking.

But she could tell one thing.

“I didn’t know you would listen to me.”

He felt a little sorry for his younger sister, whom he had neglected for so long.

After hesitating, Erez opened the case with the logo of the boutique he had just visited.

“These are the gloves Grandmother asked for.”

At first glance, the gloves matched Seraphine quite a bit. But there was one other problem.

“It doesn’t match my outfit right now.”

“I also ordered matching dresses and shoes.”

Erez did not make the same mistake as his father.

He continued, speaking in a slightly quick tone.

“If you want, I’ll go to the jewelry store right now and get accessories to match the gloves.”

“No, you don’t have to do that.”

If I left it alone, I thought I would be dragged to the jewelry store.

Seraphine shook her head firmly.

“Since Grandmother said she would inspect it, let’s try it on.”

In response to his impatience, Seraphine thought, ‘she told me to brag, not inspect…’

Now Erez was like an honor student going to his parents with a test paper that he had not yet checked the score for.

“Brother.”

Erez tried to take off Seraphine’s gloves.

Originally, boutique employees had to do it, but because of Leonhardt, they had no choice but to leave without checking it properly.

Seraphine, who stopped when Erez’s fingertips touched her, called him in a low voice.

Erez, who had his eyes fixed on the gloves, slowly raised his head.

“I don’t want you to touch me.”

“…I won’t.”

Erez, who was accustomed to Seraphine’s usual behavior, which was close to germaphobia, agreed without any doubt.

However, he seemed a little out of spirits because he could not immediately see her wearing the gloves he had chosen.

She couldn’t ignore it.

After thinking for a moment, Seraphine took the case containing the gloves from him.

“I like it.”

Even though it was because of her grandmother’s orders, it was amazing how he tried to find gloves that fit her.

He listened to her last conversation and took her side in front of Leonhardt.

“When the dress Brother picked out arrives, I’ll wear it and show it to you.”

Seraphine smiled softly.

Erez stared at her face and muttered without realizing it.

“I’ve never seen you smile like that.”

“Is that so? I don’t think there’s much to smile about.”

Unlike Seraphine, who responded indifferently, Erez thought it was the first time he had seen his sister’s sincere smile in retrospect.

So when she smiled in front of her grandmother, he kept looking at her in confusion.

He thought she was a kid who couldn’t smile like that.

Erez felt a little stunned.

“Why do you keep looking at me like that? Is there really something on my face?”

As Erez kept staring at her without saying a word, she questioned with her eyes wide open.

Then his sharp impression got better.

Seeing her colorful expression, Erez hurriedly turned his head.

‘Did I do something wrong?’

I wiped my face lightly with my finger, but nothing came out.

As soon as she got home, Seraphine thought that she should check the mirror first, but Erez suddenly changed the topic.

“You seem to have gotten a lot closer with Grandmother, but have you not heard anything else?”

“Anything else?”

“The reason why she came back after a long time.”

“No. Didn’t she just come back because she wanted to see her family?”

“That’s the external reason.”

“If you’re curious, ask yourself. You’re also Grandmother’s grandchild.”

When I talked to her, she wasn’t that scary.

Erez seemed to think too hard about his grandmother’s existence, so she pushed him back.

But it didn’t seem like very good advice.

Erez just nodded once.

Seraphine, who went straight back to the mansion because her business was over, was able to meet the person waiting for her.

“Lady, you were out! I followed Duke Rubia’s order, but I don’t think that it was delivered properly.”

It was a boutique employee called by Duke Rubia.

After waiting for a long time because they missed each other, he turned pale when he saw a case with the logo of their competitor.

“Are you on your way back from a visit to Kristine’s Boutique?”

“Uhh… Well. That’s right.”

Seraphine, who had not looked closely at the name of the place, vaguely affirmed.

The other party is from the industry, so she didn’t think he would see it wrong.

However, the employee’s complexion did not look very good.

“Is there a problem with the boutique visited by the Crown Prince himself?”

“Did the Crown Prince visit Kristine’s Boutique?!”

“I just came across him…”

Kkadeug.

She could hear someone biting their molars as if they were breaking their teeth.

Surprised, Seraphine looked at the employee again.

The employee, who returned with a business attitude as if he hadn’t bitten his molar, smiled broadly.

“Did you order clothes that go well with diamond earrings? I’ve brought some samples, so could you please check the other drafts? I’ll do my best to make clothes that become one with the lady.”

After that, I was able to listen to the employee’s passionate presentation.

It was a presentation that felt so strong that I couldn’t get out halfway through.

Erez, who had been standing beside her awkwardly, tried to sneak away.

Seraphine hastily caught Erez.

In this situation, there was something to leave to him.

“Brother should brag about it to Grandmother. It’s not an inspection, but a boast.”

A man who seemed to live his life with pride found it too difficult to brag.

A look of embarrassment was etched on his blunt face when she handed him the case containing the gloves.

Seraphine added urgently because she thought he would be wearing women’s gloves himself.

“Tell her I liked it. The dress and shoes that Brother ordered will also arrive soon, so if I show her what I’m wearing, she’ll be satisfied.”

“Okay?”

Erez, who was looking at Seraphine who asked, nodded a beat late.

She looked anxiously at his back as he walked away.

However, she had no choice but to turn her head again because of the employee holding her, saying, “Lady, how about this?” and “What about this?”

Later, I heard from a maid that Erez was scolded by Grandmother who said, “Why did you come in so early!”

As soon as Erez heard her, he couldn’t say a word of what he had prepared and just bowed his head like a sinner and came back.

After hearing the story, Seraphine laughed aloud.

But later, when the dress and shoes to match the gloves came, and she turned around in front of Grandmother and Erez dressed up, Seraphine felt a little embarrassed and blushed.

‘I shouldn’t have bragged about my clothes when they came.’

She thought.

***

The day to wear the dresses made by the boutique’s employees with passion and sincerity came sooner than expected.

It was because she had a chance to meet the emperor alone.

When Seraphine noticed that he called her to talk about the breakup, she took out the diamond earrings she had stored deep in her jewelry box ever since she received the gift.

The clothes that were neither excessive nor insufficient to go to meet the emperor fit perfectly as if they were for Seraphine from the beginning.

​​After a longer dressing time than usual, Seraphine got into the carriage with Duke Rubia.

“It’s pretty.”

Duke Rubia was surprised when he saw Seraphine for the first time, probably because he didn’t know she would wear the dress he gave her as a gift.

Then, he gave an awkward compliment only when the two of them were alone in the carriage.

“Thank you. It’s thanks to my father’s good eye.”

It was a textbook answer.

Duke Rubia, who was looking at his calm daughter with complicated eyes, opened his mouth.

“You seem to be getting along with Mother these days.”

​​“It may seem that way because I have been alone with Grandmother for a long time in the mansion.”

Duke Rubia was unfamiliar with his daughter, who has recently become much brighter.

He didn’t have time to take a closer look at my daughter, so he thought she had changed after his mother came.

It was a positive change.

However, it was true that he felt sad after seeing his mother and daughter spending time together, smiling as if she were really happy.

​​It was a face she had never shown before in front of him.

“I’ve been busy with this lately, but I think I can make time for you now.”

“I see.”

It was an indifferent answer.

“I heard that the red diamond you wanted last time is going to be auctioned off. If you still want it, take part in the auction. Your debutant is going to be soon, so if you wear it then, you’ll get a lot of attention.”

Again, Seraphine nodded as if she were not interested.

It was Duke Rubia who was impatient.

He kept rambling over and over again.

There was something strange about her father’s behavior, so Seraphine asked directly.

“Father, do you have anything to say to me?”

Duke Rubia, who hesitated for a moment as if he had something else to say, brought up his business.

“You’ve been speaking harshly to me these days.”

“Is there a problem?”

Duke Rubia was a little perplexed seeing his daughter ask questions as if she didn’t know anything.

“Oh, no….”

Considering Seraphine’s age, ‘father’ was more appropriate than ‘dad’.

However, Seraphine originally called Duke Rubia, Dad.

He was at a loss as to how to accept his daughter, who has grown up recently.

“Father.”

As if striking a wedge, Seraphine once again called him ‘Father’.

Seraphine made a bombshell remark with a low voice as if she had a sense of what the real purpose was after looking at the prickly Duke Rubia.

“If you want to remarry, do it.”
