Extra 11: Wedding (II)

However, Noah said something else without notice.

"If you are to try it all on again..."

As Esther's eyes narrowed as he tried to give his opinion, he belatedly figured out the situation and changed his tune, getting up and standing next to her.

"Shall we take a break?"

"That would be nice."

The emperor, who had another schedule, gave his opinion and left first. Then the remaining people started a discussion.

"I vote for the third dress. It's especially elegant, and the silk matches perfectly with the design."

"The frills of the second dress are adorable. I think Esther's cuteness will be maximized."

Princess Reina and Judy both liked the second dress, and they actively expressed their thoughts.

As for Deheen and Dennis, they suffered from not being able to choose one.

In the meantime, Esther, who had changed her clothes and came out, sat down in an empty seat. She felt a tap on her shoulder.

"Are you okay?"

It was Noah. Standing behind her, he pressed her tight shoulders.

"The dresses were heavier than I thought. My body is sore because I kept wearing a corset."

"I'll ask them to call it a day."

"No. Everyone is like that because they care for me."

Esther shook her head and drank the water the maids brought.

"Ha. Amazing. I will live."

"Eat this too."

Esther picked a cookie off the plate, took a bite and tilted her head.

"It tastes familiar. Is this..."

"That's right. The grand duke has prepared it."

These were cookies made by Esther's favorite chef.

Did he prepare it in anticipation of this time? Esther smiled anyway, moved by the thought.

Eating something sweet made her eyes wide and revived her spirits.

"Which do you think is the best?"

"I didn't look at the dresses. I only saw your face. You're so pretty."

"What?"

Esther rolled her eyes at Noah's playful joke.

"Okay, okay. The first one was feminine because your shoulder line was emphasized, the second one was lovely because the frills were cute, the third one was elegant and made you look mature, and the fourth..."

"Okay, stop!"

In the end, Noah's verdict that everything was pretty only increased the dilemma.

"My preference is... The fourth dress, the mermaid dress. It's so sexy I don't want to show you to other people."

Noah caressed the back of Esther's neck as he muttered in a low, languid tone.

Embarrassed, Esther jumped up, her ears red.

"Everything, I want to try them all on again."

"Shall I go in too this time?"

"No!"

Pushing away Noah, who kept smirking and teasing, Esther went to the empress.

"I'll try it on just one more time."
