78 CHAPTER 78

"What style would you recommend for Young master?"

"I'd like it to match my wife's dress. . . . . "

"Oh, how romantic!"

". . . . . Is that so?"

Seeing Killian's face hardened at the clothing store owner's snort, I was sure he felt the same way as I did. However, as if the rumor that it was a famous clothing store was not a lie, the owner of the clothing store was skillfully and seriously recommended Killian's banquet attire. It was a style that looked more glamorous than what Killian usually wore. It was made using dark blue fabric and gold thread decorations on the lapels and cuffs. However, when the clothes were placed together with my dress, it was a banquet dress that subtly looked like a couple, so both me and Killian liked it.

"Do it with this."

"You've made a good choice. It's a pity I can't see the two of you going to a banquet wearing these clothes. It's going to be beautiful."

He looked at us with twinkling eyes as if imagining it.

'That's a lot of pressure. . . . . '

Thinking about that, I looked at Killian, and he had the same expression as me. We laughed at the same time, lowered our heads, and giggled, then came out with escorted by all the staff in the clothing store to see us off.

"I think I made up my mind at once. I wish we had worn a few more. . . . ."

"No. I really liked that dress. To be honest, I thought you had really good eyes."

"Well, I've heard a lot that you said that."

"Oh, yeah. you're right. we joked and giggled again. "

"While since we're out, let's match boots and shoes."

"Oh, right! That what we were supposed to do, right?"

"We should have gone earlier but. . . . ."

Killian's face turned pale again, I guess he thinks again the time when I almost drowned. I plucked up my courage and put my arm around his arm first.

"Come on!"

Killian looked at me with his arms crossed, and he smiled and nodded his head. The street where the clothing store is located is close to Le Bel Marie Street, so we took a stroll and headed to the shoe store.

"Wow."

When I set foot on the streets of Le Bel Marie, a 'wow' that had been quiet for a while came out. Darsus Street was also a noble street, so it was luxurious and had many things to see, and Le Bel Marie Street was really like a specialized street for women. There were many cute and cute shops, and there were also many feminine and elegant shops. The cafes also seemed to pay more attention to the appearance than cafes on Darsus Street. That's a lot to take at it. But the only thing better than wandering the streets of Le Bel Marie was hearing Killian's voice, as if he felt sorry for some reason.

"If I had known you'd like it so much, we should have come out more often."

I know, and Killian knows it to that we haven't been together for a while. Still, it's nice to have someone say that. Instead of answering, I smiled broadly and walked with him into the shoe store.

"Welcome! Oh! You're a young master of the Ludwig family. This way. . . . ?"

"As I said before, this is my wife. We are thinking of ordering two pairs of boots and a pair of shoes."

"I see. please have a seat over here. I'll be right back with the paper."

The shop owner greeted us cheerfully and made arrangements for the shoe making.

"I have a pair of boots, so why don't we just match them?"

"Ryzen is colder than here, and it snows a lot. So you need to make winter boots that are waterproof and warm."

Hearing about Ryzen got my heart racing again. A lot of snow would mean a lot of winterizing, but it also meant a lot of winter precipitation.

'In addition, the winter scenery will be beautiful, so it would be good to grow it as a tourist destination. I'm planning Ryzen's own winter festival.'

While I was smiling alone in such an imaginary way, the shoe master laid thick paper under my feet and began to imitate the shape of my feet. It was embarrassing for some reason that Killian looked at my feet and ankles with my skirt slightly rolled up.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Your ankle is really. . . . ."

"Yes?"

"Oh, no, nothing."

Killian was about to say something, but he shook his head and muttered, but the redness on his cheeks made him think of something strange. It's kind of self-praise, but Edit's slender ankles and slender calves were so pretty that even I could salivate. I gestured to Killian. Then I whispered in Killian's ear as he leaned over to me with a puzzled look on his face.

"I think it's you, not me, who's lewd."

It was hilarious to watch Killian jump back to his feet and look flustered. I wanted to tease him a bit more, but the owner shoes would hear it.

"While you're stamping your feet, please pick your favorite design."

A boy who appeared to be his apprentice handed over a tattered catalog, and Killian and I giggled as we picked out boots and shoe designs together. The winter boots are pretty similar in design, so it's almost as if they were purposely designed for couples. after matching shoes and boots, we walked through the chilly street and entered a luxury cafe, and drank warm tea together.

'I didn't know this day would come while living as Edith. . . . . '

Compared to the beginning of the possession, when she decided to give up towards her husband. She thinks she really succeeded. i sipped my tea in silence, basking in my happy mood, when suddenly Killian's expression began to harden. At the same time, my ears picked up the story from the table behind us.

"Who will Cliff Ludwig marry? His younger brother is already married."

"Isn't that Count Sinclair illegitimate child? They say the two brothers pay attention to much to the fox.

My ears perked up at the familiar name.

"Oh, no way. Countess Sinclair certainly said that. They sold his illegitimate child to Ludwig family. It seems that Count Sinclair had some money borrowed from the Duke of Ludwig."

"You mean he gave them his daughter instead of the money?"

"That's not a daughter. It's an illegitimate child. Where do you hear that an illegitimate children treated like a child?"

I hoped their chatter would end here. 'Cause so far it's been true. But they crossed the line that could not turn back.

"She was pretty. But if the Ludwig family is sane, they wouldn't give the duchess's title to that illegitimate child."

"It's ridiculous to be a duchess. She should just heat up the men's bedrooms instead."

Some middle-aged women laughed, not knowing that a son of the Ludwig family was sitting right behind them.

'I've been trying so hard to make this guy feel better all day, but those ladies are ruining it. And I don't want to know about what Lizzy and Cliff are doing alone, so I have nothing to say in front of the people who put it out.'

Killian's face grew grim by the minute, as if their laughter were irritating. I jumped out of my seat and walked slowly before Killian exploded. Killian's surprised gaze followed me.

"Oh, that's an interesting story. Can i join, too?"

The Duke of Ludwig and his two sons, who were debating which of them had the biggest 'it', looked at me in surprise.

"Who, who?"

"Me? don't you know me?"

I don't expect much from this crazy bitches who blatantly low-level gossipers in public, but at least they should have known the faces of the people they talked about and also their families member face. Tsk tsk.

"I'm sharing a bedroom with one of the men you just mentioned."

I even showed them the ring I was wearing on the ring finger of my left hand, and they couldn't figure out who I was. Then one of them spotted Killian sitting behind me, and with an inward scream, punched the lady sitting next to me in the forearm. The other ladies noticed Killian and covered their mouths in contemplation.

"It's elegant. . . . I overheard a conversation that was far from elegant, and I wanted to point out one thing."

I picked up the teapot in the middle of their table and said, while pouring tea into their teacups.

"Do I look like someone who would live in the same house as a woman who sleeps with my husband? ah! you said you don't know who I am would you recognize me if I said Edith Ludwig, no, Edith Riegelhoff?"

The tea overflowed the teacup and spilled over the saucer. And the name "Edith Riegelhoff" stunned the ladies. My face may not have been recognizable, but it was infamous.

"I'm, I'm, I'm sorry, Miss. Edith, we heard that story somewhere, too!"

The lady, who seemed to be the host of this gathering, managed to make excuses, but I kept my arrogant expression on my face - this too requires considerable patience - and began pouring tea over her teacup as well.

"Did someone told you that you should say about rumors that you can't handle?"

The area around the table became so quiet that I could only hear the sound of the tea I poured. I left the teapot on the table when it was empty. The table was a mess with overflowing tea.

"Be careful from now on."

The ladies couldn't move even though the skirt of the dress was soaked because of the tea flowing on the table, and finally nodded. I tried to turn around, but I stuck my face out in front of them again and whispered.

"I don't know, but I think my husband's is the biggest."

And then I smirked and came back to my seat. In fact, the last word was to make Killian feel good. As long as this is the world in <House.Envoy>, Cliff will be at the top of all specifications. Perhaps. When I returned to my seat, the ladies sitting behind us scrambled to get up and go out in a hurry. And only then, Killian burst into laughter that he had been holding back for a while.
