“It looks like Lord Cliff has decided on something?”

Anna smiled slightly at her words and asked.

“Doesn’t the lady prepare a dress for the Festival?”

“Oh, I’m going to wear what I have.”

It seemed that Edith in the past was famous for never wearing a dress once worn, but she couldn’t afford that luxury. Besides, the dresses in her closet right now were only worn by Edith in the past, and the current Edith, possessed by Sona Choi, never wore them.

‘There are many dresses I haven’t tried on yet.’

Among them, she was thinking of choosing a moderately inconspicuous one to wear. However, she was the only one who had such an idle thought, and Killian came as soon as lunchtime had passed.

“Come out with me.”

“Yes? Where are you going?”

“Wardrobe.”

“Will you match the clothes I will wear to the foundation festival?”

She was excited to see if she could watch Killian tailoring his clothes, but he answered while slightly avoiding her gaze.

“As I match mine, I will match yours too.”

“I just need to wear what I have.”

“This is the first event we’ve been out together since we became a couple. I want to put an end to the rumors of our discord and go out wearing matching clothes.”

They were rumored to be discord, so it’s like they had become celebrities. Honestly, she wondered what that’s important, but seeing that the nobles here lived and died for their reputation, well, following Killian’s opinion, it didn’t seem like anything bad.

“Great. Yes. But can we go without making a reservation?”

“That’s what a Duke’s prestige is.”

“Ah, yes, you would.”

She and Killian exchanged light jokes and briefly prepared for the outing. When they came out of the room, there was some fuss about Lise’s room.

‘If he suddenly asked me to go to the dressing room… Does he think it’s still painful to see Lise and Cliff doing that together?’

Killian seemed to be pretending nothing was wrong, but she got a little fed up with him. Of course she loved him, and although his attitude toward her had changed quite positively lately, it wouldn’t be easy to give up on his old crush any time soon. So she decided to be the California Sunshine version of Edith to cheer Killian up. Even today, the weather was gloomy, so Killian’s mood may sink even more.

“Where are we going? Is it the Royal Dressing Room?”

“Madame Royal’s skills are impeccable, but today I’m going somewhere else.”

“Oh, are you excited?”

As the carriage carrying them pulled out of the duchy, she wiggled her hands and slipped close to Killian’s side. Stares as if asking what they were doing flew right in, but California Sunshine didn’t flinch at this.

“It’s cold. No?”

“…There is nothing that can’t be done.”

Originally, when a person was cold, he thought more lonely and lonely thoughts. She clung to Killian’s body and warmed him up, following the initial line to comfort Killian’s heart. For some reason, it seemed like an act to satisfy her selfishness, but her intention itself was pure. Really! Fortunately, her sincerity seemed to work, and Killian did not push her away and stayed still. And he quietly opened his mouth.

“If you go to the founding festival this time… You may feel a little offended.”

“Why?”

“There are some rumors about you… It’s not getting better.”

“When was it good, what.”

It was natural for her, but Killian burst into laughter.

“Did you know?”

“Unfortunately, my ears are fine.”

Killian chuckled a little more, then calmed down and continued.

“I know you know, but before you were extravagant, vain, promiscuous, jealous…”

“Yes, yes, let’s talk about the past.”

“Ugh! Yes. If that was the case anyway, now the bad news has gone in a slightly different direction.”

“What did they say?”

“The relationship between the two of us is so bad that it can’t get any worse, and you’re jealous of Lise and you’re doing bad things…”

“Wow.”

It was the same as the original. Even though she thought she had overcome the flow of the original, the outside of the Ludwig family was still flowing as the original.

“It is my fault.”

“Yes?”

“Since I rarely talked about you outside, and even after we got married, I went out with Lise quite often… Maybe the rumor itself was because of me. Sorry.”

She never expected to hear such an apology from Killian, but it was surprising.

“Such rumors will soon disappear, because it’s not true. Yes?”

“…They will.”

The way Killian looked at her was quite friendly.

“Sure. We’re on our way to get our banquet dresses tailored too.”

She smiled as if she had become a bright character without any countermeasures. After doing that, she felt really good, like everything was going to be okay. There was also a research result that said that if you force yourself to smile, your mood improves as well, but it seemed to be true. Seeing that Killian also looked at her and raised the corners of her mouth, it seemed that Operation California Sunshine was not bad.

The place the carriage landed was in front of a grand-looking building. On the wall of the building, there was a small sign that said <Moffett Dahlia>.

“I was introduced to this place by someone I know, but I thought this would suit you better than the Royal Dressing Room.”

“Is it so?”

The inside of the dressing room, which she entered with curiosity, was more luxurious than when she saw it from the outside. The dress samples lined up around her were much more colorful than what she had seen in the design book of the Royal Dressing Room.

“This style… Didn’t you like it very much?”

“I think it’s okay as long as it fits… It shouldn’t be too revealing, though.”

While they were talking about that, the owner of the clothing store, a male designer, approached.

“Oh my, oh my, my God! Who is this! It’s such an honor to have you come to my humble store!”

The man, who looked to be in his thirties, had a slim body like a fashion designer, and was dressed smartly, but he was a little high-tension. He brought out a variety of dress samples and design books, and the staff also brought out fabrics and subsidiary materials that were supposed to be new products. There was no fuss like this.

“Killian, are you okay?”

Fearing that his mood would go down again, she put it in his ear and asked softly. Killian flinched slightly at his shoulder as if it was itchy from her snoring, then cleared his throat a few times.

“Still, it’s a pretty prestigious clothing store. It seems to me… I think this might suit you…”

Killian pointed to one of the design books he had been flipping through. She thought he was just pretending to see.

“Excellent choice! It’s that design that I’ve been contemplating whether or not to recommend to your wife. If you want a more daring style than this one, this one is fine, and vice versa.”

Moffett Dahlia, the owner of the dressing room, said excitedly. The surname ‘Dahlia’ was obviously a pseudonym, but he seemed to know what he was aiming for. She would never be pure and simple like a violet. Anyway, he flipped through the design book and showed her, and she didn’t think much of it, so she decided to try on the dress that Killian had recommended. However, when she put on the dress Killian pointed out, she realized once again that he had a high eye.

‘He has good eyesight?’

The dress he chose was an off-the-shoulder dress in a combination of yellow and gold. It looked splendid, but it didn’t look vulgar because the decorations were unified in gold. In addition, it went well with my spring warm tone skin color and reddish brown hair.

Just a note: it’s the dress of the cover ^^

‘I wonder if it’s okay to see Killian.’

She stood in front of Killian again with a slightly embarrassed face.

“Uh, how is it? Do I look okay?”

Killian’s gaze flew straight to her and stuck. Why was that so embarrassing? She couldn’t look directly at him, so she looked down at the hem of her skirt or looked around. But for a while he said nothing.

‘Is it so bad…?’

Why, if the clothes weren’t good, she had to think for a long time to talk around so that the other person wouldn’t get hurt. But after a while, Killian spat out just one word.

“It’s fine.”

Not sure if she was really okay or not, she looked up and met Killian’s eyes.

‘Uh…?’

Killian was laughing. It was that smile that made her heart drop. That smile that only Lise, who was blessed to be the protagonist, thought would be able to see. A fever suddenly rose to the nape of her neck.

“This dress has finally found its owner! I’m not bragging, but there were quite a few people who coveted this dress. However, in my opinion, none of them fit perfectly, so I politely suggested a different design. To be honest, it feels like everyone is buried in the dress. However, the wife is digesting the splendor of this dress in an elegant and dignified way…”

The owner of the dressing room continued to praise me for a long time, but those words did not reach her ears. It was because he had been making eye contact with Killian for a long time.

‘I’ve been married for almost ten months, why is my heart beating so fast…’

At this rate, it seemed that her face would turn red.

“That… I’m going to go with this, so will you look at my husband’s clothes now?”

As for what she said, the owner of the dressing room gave him a happy smile while holding his hands tightly and twisting his body. This dressing room, the clothes were fine, but she didn’t think they would be able to come here often because the shop owner was a bit burdensome.
