Do Your Best and Regret

Chapter 34

"How about a dress like this? This dress is designed with the motif of red tulip petals."

As soon as Madame Pluto finished speaking, the staff brought a new dress. It was a beautiful dress that looked like watery red petals were blooming.

"I'll buy that too."

Edwin said as soon as he saw the dress. Madame Pluto's face brightened, while my face became a little whiter. There were plenty of dresses already lined up for purchase. These are all Madame Pluto's premium works.

I knew best that the premium line was five times more expensive than the regular dress line. Sometimes I had the dresses sent from the imperial palace tailored at Madame Pluto's boutique.

"Your Highness."

"Are there any other dresses?"

Despite my call, Edwin pretended not to hear and spoke to Madame. Madame smiled her big smile. But I couldn't do it anymore. I called Edwin as if to issue my ultimatum.

"Edwin."

Edwin froze for a moment at the soft call. I took advantage of that gap and spoke to Madame Pluto.

"Madame. I think I need a little more tea. Is it okay if I ask for some hot tea?"

"Sure. I think it will take some time to make hot tea. Please take your time and look at the dress."

Fortunately, Madame Pluto was quick to notice. In the luxurious parlor where all the staff had taken their seats, only Edwin, me, and Winster were left standing as if guarding the doorway.

I glanced at Winster. His grinning face quickly hardened like that of a knight, as if looking at the interesting work. He tried to distract me as if he had never thought of anything else, but he didn't let Olivia go.

"Lord Calter, could you please step aside for a moment?"

When his name was called cut, Winster looked at me with a look of regret on his face. Surely something interesting is about to happen from now on! But even putting aside the wide-eyed Grand Duke next to me, the words of that little girl had a strangely irresistible power.

"... Yes. Then I will wait outside"

Only when he left the drawing room, did I turn to Edwin. I called Edwin softly as if I were soothing him.

"Edwin."

"... Why, Miss."

Unlike his usual friendly tone, his voice was a bit sulky and grumpy. But apart from that, the corners of his handsome mouth slowly turned up. Even though Edwin cleared his throat and tried to control his expression, he was already caught.

I chuckled.

"If you're going to laugh, just laugh.

"Why are you looking so scary? You have a scary expression."

"I'm just showing that I'm a little disappointed."

Edwin made an aggrieved expression.

"If I'm disappointed one more time, I'll buy the entire boutique."

"Is that a good idea?"

Edwin's eyes sparkled as if he had finally realized something. Edwin's expression was so sincere that I quickly shook my head.

"I made a mistake. I don't need that many dresses."

Especially if it's such a bright and beautiful dress. From a pink dress with rose-colored frills, a navy blue and silver dress with a motif of the Milky Way in the night sky, and an elegant white dress sprinkled with pearl powder. After that, there were more than a dozen dresses lined up.
