"Welcome!"
The bright and spacious store was also very gorgeous inside.
As we entered, the well-dressed clerk and the owner bent their waists at 90 degrees.
Yvonne's favorite store was Elmodor, and it was famous for being the most expensive brand in the empire.
The Duke let go of my wrist and coughed.
"Ahem. I thought about calling a designer at home, but I heard that you are a simple person who likes to go around the store and make purchases."
'Huh? A simple personality?'
The Duke seemed to have some strange misunderstanding about Yvonne's personality.
Yvonne wasn't simple, but she liked to show off, so she deliberately went to luxury stores and spent a lot of money
I was pricked by my conscience.
And... It was my first time shopping with my father, so I was embarrassed and embarrassed.
'This is how happy I feel.'
As I take a step forward, the employees move at my pace.
I glanced back.
When I showed up at this store with the Duke and his successor, the handsome Duke of Argentkhoz, I felt like a precious Princess.
"Yvonne is not a Princess, but she is actually a noble person."
Suddenly, a memory of Yvonne comes to mind.
When Yvonne showed up in the store alone, the store clerks were afraid of her, but they didn't treat her so harshly.
A Princess who is alone, the Princess of the Duke.
It was the same in social circles and everywhere.
I was an outsider who couldn't see a clear future.
However, the attitude of the employees was very different.
I am no longer an outsider, but a beloved daughter and sister of the Duke of Argenthoz.
'No way... Did you bring me to the shopping with this in mind?'
To save my spirit?
Looking at the silver-haired rich people who looked like me, my heart ached.
I don't envy the heroine Cordelia at all.
Cordelia is an illegitimate Princess who is a royal family but was rejected by her family because she was treated coldly and unappreciated.
If I lived as a Cordelia... I wouldn't have felt this warmth.
The Duke and Barden were scared at first, but I felt fortunate to have been born as evil women with families.
"Let's go. Hurry up and take a look."
I smiled at the Duke, who motioned for me to look around.
"Thank you very much."
The Dukes' and Barden's faces hardened.
The Duke's eyes fluttered.
He spoke in a trembling voice.
"You... I never knew if you resembled your mother."
"Me?"
"Yes. You laugh, you look like this."
"...I realized it now."
The Duke and Barden stared at me so blankly for a long time that my face became hot.
A dead Duchess.
The portrait must be left somewhere in the mansion, right? I have to go see it.
The Duke, who had been looking at me with his mouth shut, suddenly turned into a burning look and looked around at the items in the store.
The two of them swayed and agreed with each other, and the Duke suddenly pointed to the shoes on the shelf.
"That."
"Yes, Duke! Do you like those shoes? It will be very suitable for you!"
"Send everything except that."
"Yes?"
That one is too high-heeled. I think my daughter's ankle will break while walking, so take that off."
For his own reasons, he excludes heels that are about 9 cm high.
Then he said to Barden, who was the only one of those who was puzzled.
"What are you doing? Let's go to the next store."
"Yes, Father."
Barden walked away and left the store with the Duke.
'Hey?'
I was dizzy with the enormous scale of shopping that I had never imagined.
Did you take a shortcut today?
I was confused about what shopping for the upper class was, but I hurried out of the store after the Duke and Barden, who had already left.
Then, he continued to possess the Duke.
The Duke had robbed nearly ten of the high-end stores in the Naciel district, and at the end of the day, I was depressed.
But this is too much.
'It would be nice if you could give me all that money.'
Jewelry, hats, dresses, shoes, bags, scarves, handkerchiefs, fans, and so on.
There is nowhere to go wearing these things.
I have lived as a child and have the worst reputation, so I'm a villain.
Even if you do it, you buy too much.
After pleading that it was enough, the two shopping-crazy men tasted their mouths regretfully and nodded.
"Yes, let's have a cup of tea now."
"This way."
The Duke and Barden took me to a cafe in the Naciel district to see if they knew about any places in advance.
'Cafe Dailing?'
It was a very luxurious and atmospheric cafe on the outside and inside, but I didn't feel any Inspiration because I had just visited too many luxury stores.
I just wanted to rest.
'I want to go home.'
Mentally exhausted from my first storm of shopping, I slumped down in my chair.
When the clerk turned around after setting the tea on the table, I looked at the Duke sitting across from me and said seriously.
"Father. I am very grateful for the gift. As you know, I'm just going to study at home to become a new person. I have nowhere to go to wear them, so I want to return half of them."
"Yvonne. Why don't you have anywhere to wear them?"
The Duke, who was holding the teacup, shouted and cut me off.
'Why are you so angry?'
The Duke coughed and gestured to Barden.
Then, as if he had made a promise, Barden spoke with a determined expression.
"My father introduced me to a good man, and we can meet him at this cafe in three days."
"...A man?"
What is this all of a sudden?
I stared blankly at the Duke.
'Could it be?'
Speaking of which. I remembered that when we were having breakfast together, he told me to meet another man and told him to forget about the Crown Prince, just like a Duke passing by.
I thought he was just saying it, but did he seriously plan to fight back?
I was so embarrassed that my face turned red.
"Father! I'm fine, really!"
"It's not okay. Yvonne, trust me and meet him just once. He's a lot better than that bastard."
He's a naughty guy.
Is this for Prince Adrian?
I was surprised to see the Duke openly calling the Crown Prince a bad guy, and on the other hand, I was worried, so I looked around.
Fortunately, no one was near the place where we, including the Duke of Argenthoz, were gathered.
I wondered if I was the only one who was worried, but the Duke drank the tea calmly and leisurely
"Come on, Barden. Explain."
"Yes. Listen. He is 22 years old, 188 cm tall, and has a very strong body. He is a Sword Master and his profession is Duke of Iels, and he is the guardian of the 'Northern Gate."
I couldn't stop Barden, who earnestly explained to my opponent.
So even when I was offered to introduce the famous 'Duke of lels' as a rival man, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He had never appeared in the original, but I knew who Rudnine Iels was because I had studied with history and politics teachers and learned about domestic and international situations.
He is a very important figure.
Duke of Iels.
A venerable Duke family with fiefdoms in the northern part of the empire that guards the northern gates.
The Dukes of Iels were one of the four Dukes of the empire, and unlike the Duke of Argenthoz, who settled in the capital under the pretext of defending the capital with magic, they were a family that insisted on staying in the northern territories.
It is said that his wealth is similar to that of the Duke of Argenthoz.
It is also said that the current young owner of the estate of Iels, Duke Rudnine, is handsome, gentle, and well-rounded.
So, when I become his partner, the owner of the Iels estate, I have to live mostly in the Iels estate in the north, but many young girls are eager to receive the Duke of Iels just once.
'This was told to me by my dance teacher.'
I thought of my dance teacher, who often told me about social gossip and made a fuss.
I sighed as I looked at the men with twinkling eyes waiting for my answer.
"No, what is such a handsome Duke meeting me for?"
"What?"
I nailed the two stiff men as if they were shocked.
"I do it honestly. I'm a wicked woman with a bad reputation and a bad reputation. I'm remorseful, but you won't believe me."
"A wicked woman... Who dared to spit such a damn out to Princess Argenthoz?"
The Duke's eyes were bathed in rage.
"Yvonne, yes. Honestly, there were times when you were crazy. In fact, you're fine in your own way!'
Two men are excitedly defending me.
I stared at them alternately.
These guys, really.
He took my side so openly that the tip of his nose wrinkled for some reason.
'What? It's like a real family.'
I felt embarrassed and guilty.
I'm not even a real Yvonne.
I decided to endure my embarrassment and change my mood to get rid of this complicated feeling.
I looked at him with a blank stare and slowly raised my hands to put an X on my face.
"What did I do if you called me a mad dog again, O Ppang?!"
"...Hmmm. O Ppang? What is that?"
The Duke opened his eyes wide and asked seriously, and I was embarrassed and hurriedly lowered my hand to my face.
"Yes? Oh, this..."
I was trying to embarrass him.
The Duke stared at me like that, and I wanted to die even more.
But Barden suddenly replied with pride.
"Haha. It is said that the most wonderful bread in the world is Oppang."
"..."
Hey man.
Why are you suddenly flattered and fussed?
I thought I was going to be embarrassed, but the Barden, whom I like to shout at, was embarrassed and dazzled.
However, I felt a terrifying energy next to him, which sent chills down my spine.
The Duke was staring at me.
