Divorce Manual

Chapter 9

Hmm.

This seems a bit dangerous.

Edgar's coughing like he has a cold while Ledin stands behind Charles like a stiff statue.

Charles is—

"What's your business?"

You're laughing.

He has a fake smile on his face.

"Do you think I can buy some clothes?"

"... ..."

Maybe I can't?

I get a bit embarrass by his silence and nervously play with my hands.

"Are you going to bring it in from the capital?"

"No."

He then adds, "Then, are you bringing it in from abroad?"

I don't even know what's famous abroad, so I then shake my head. "No, I heard there's someone who's good in Lapel."

It's an inquiring look like he doesn't know why he is talking about such trivial things, and more precisely why he's doing what he usually doesn't do.

"Well..." I thought he'd at least see it that way. "I'm trying to keep up with the trend."

I add a slightly poor reason that I had prepared in advance.

"Trend?"

"Yes, a fashion trend."

He just laughs, taking me at my words.

Let's call it a trend.

Honestly, I didn't think much about it because I wasn't sensitive to trends even when I lived in Korea.

Though, it's negligence on my part to waste my looks like this.

Of course, to be honest, if modern artists, who have been waiting for the beautiful muse, see Abella, they would not only lament over her, but also will draw a lot of inspiration from her.

I want to take off this ugly shit.

A figure wearing only a chemise would look better and cleaner than me.

I can't mention anything like that.

In fact, I can't say anything at all, including that I know nothing about fashion trends. However, I'm going to spend money on the pretext of following it.

"It's trendy."

I'm feeling a little absurd to say that it's a trend to throw away all the clothes you have and buy them all again.

Maybe it's more plausible to say that I just want to buy them.

It's a reasonable cause enough.

Seeing how tense the atmosphere is, maybe saying that is better. "Why there's a rumor—"

He then glances at me.

"The Duchess of Diago doesn't even know the fashion and is so ugly—" I almost couldn't contain my laughter when I heard the word ugly slip from my mouth. "I wish to remove the stigma of being an ugly woman."

Abella actually is very beautiful to the point that I feel a little bit sorry that I can't explain it properly. Even though she didn't take care of herself, that part of her didn't diminish.

Of course, Abella herself didn't think so.

She, on the other hand, thought herself as unremarkable and very ordinary. That was why she worn these damn clothes that Catherine gave her.
