Secret Wardrobe of the Duchess

Chapter 35

However, Rubica was different.

‘Oh my, such a beautiful fairy!’

She was instantly fascinated by the beauty hidden within the girl. She had not budded yet, but she had an enormous beauty inside.

When provided with the right food and skincare, she was going to be more than praised. She would become the flower of the society.

Rubica was eager to run to her, do her hair, and make her put on a pretty dress that matched her. However, she was the bride of this wedding feast and she was the duchess now.

That fawn-like fairy would freak out if she approached her like that.

‘I must be careful.’

The girl appeared to be timid. Rubica couldn’t just go to her and be kind to her. It would only make her run away. Rubica tried to call Ann to find out who she was first, but Ann had left to bring Carl.

‘Hmm, thinking about it, asking Ann wouldn’t be a good idea.’

Judging from the housekeeper’s character, she wasn’t the right person to lure in the fairy. If Rubica asked her about the fairy, she would lunge in without caring about the cute fairy’s feelings and capture her with her mighty weapon: gossip.

Then that timid fairy would tightly close the door of her heart.

‘What should I do?’

Then, Rubica gazed at Edgar who was right next to her. There was no one who knew his own relatives better than him. He didn’t know Rubica was looking at him and was gracefully cutting a well-roasted wing of a swan.

How could a hand slicing meat with a knife appear that seductive?

The elegant gesture of bringing the piece of meat to the mouth and the lips opening temptingly as if they were eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge. It was like he had been created to seduce people. Who would be able to resist if he tried to tempt them? Wouldn’t even fairies be tempted by him?

‘Should I ask him?’

However, considering how he had handled the process that led from the proposal to the wedding, he would probably have Carl bring the fairy to her as soon as she asked.

Well, that much would be okay. It would not be the best way, but it would get things done quickly. However, recalling the things he had said to her, she immediately got the goosebumps on her arms.

Oh no! She could imagine her cute fairy being offended by Edgar’s words and running away from the mansion while shedding tears.

‘No, he won’t do.’

Rubica took her eyes off Edgar and looked down at her dish. Then, she took a piece of white bread.

“Butter? Or jam?”

That’s weird. He wasn’t looking at me, so how did he know I was looking for something to eat with my bread?

“Honey, I see.”

He pushed a little dish of honey to her side. She instinctively dipped her piece of bread in the honey. Edgar smiled at seeing that and soon looked toward a relative who congratulated him.

‘I hate him.’

He could have just passed her the dish without scolding her. She silently complained as she munched the bread that was now sweet enough.

That was what was wrong with Edgar.

He was elegant, but he always scolded others. He would be like poison to her small and delicate fairy. She was never going to let him get near her.
