What do you mean?
.
I couldnt help but flinch at his aggressive tone. It was almost like he was going to cut the dukes grave with his de if that was indeed hisst wish.
Forget hisst wish, I didnt even get to see his face!
I hurriedly shook my head in denial.
I-I didnt even get to try on the dress yet!
I unknowingly retracted my hands that were about to touch the dress again. Instead, I awkwardly brushed my hair behind my ear.
Its justIve only been wearing mostly ck clothes all my life, so the thought of wearing a dress with this color isunfamiliar. I mean, wouldnt your Majesty act the same if told to wear something your Majesty has never worn before?
And with that, he took the hem of the dress and handed it back to me.
As if asking why I was still hesitant, he held a strong gaze towards me as the velvety texture enveloped my hands again. Even though it hadnt been long since Ist touched this dress, it strangely felt silkier than before.
Seemingly reading my thoughts, hismanding tone made my ears go red.
As Rashid nodded towards the owner, the owner hurriedly came up to me and said:
Allow me to help you, your Ladyship. After all, we will also need to try on essories that are suitable with a dress of this caliber.
No, no, its fine. I can handle it myse
After his approval a truly rare asion I hugged the beautiful dress in between my arms.
Yes, then Ill go and
Your Ladyship! I beg you!
Terrified of Rashids chilling yet calm remark, the owner pleaded and begged to let her help.
A clothing store such as this could be closed with just a snap of his fingers, so she grabbed onto my clothes and pleaded with all her might.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Meanwhile, Rashid began adding new dresses for me to try with clean movements, akin to swordsmanship. It wasnt like he threw those clothes, but they werent exactly handled with care either.
.
This man really makes me confused at times.
In a blink of an eye, there was a mountain of clothes stacked on top of the lobby sofa, all chaotic just like my current state of mind. But as if the mass of clothes werent enough, he opened up the innermost ss disy guarded with numerous locks.
This time, with his sword.
Even though he was the one stepping on the scattered ss shards, only he seemed like nothing was bothering him.
After seeing him pick something up with the tip of his sword, all serene as if enjoying a piece of artwork, I finally mmed the curtains shut. Everything felt so wrong, and I felt like I was going to go crazy if I watched him for a second longer.
.
Really, no one should be allowed to act like thatand yet, if its him, I get the strange feeling that hes justified, in a way.
Your Ladyship, try this on. Ill untie theces in the back. You should get ready quickly.
Will this take long?
We need to fit the dress for your exact size, and for a dress of this color, we should check how it suits you outside under the sun. Unfortunately, strong rain is due to arrive soon
After seeing the gray, thick clouds beyond, her hands moved even quicker than before.
Looking at the gigantic mass of clothes next to my feet, there really wasnt going to be enough time to try and fit all of these dresses.
As soon as she began working on the nextce, I quickly turned around.
One moment, Ill be back.
What? Where?
Oh, I left something on the carriage. If ucing the dresses will take a long time, Ill go and check quickly in the meantime.
But his Majesty
What if I just t-out left and never came back?
She seemed terrified at that prospect and what Rashid might do to her, so I assured her that I was definitely going toe back quickly and for once, I told her my true feelings.
Dont worry. Im also a woman, after all do you think I wouldnt want to try on these dresses?

Where am I?
Just like always, Haniel awoke from the cradle and stuck his tiny face out. The plush nkets, the crinkling hay noises all were just like normal but Haniel felt something was off.
