“Give her everything.”
Even after hearing Kyan’s words, Clodel didn’t immediately grasp what was happening.
The jeweler seemed to momentarily levitate in excitement.
“Thank you, Lord. Ha-ha! Indeed. Madam has such fair skin and is so beautiful that there’s no jewel that wouldn’t suit her.”
“Ah…”
Wondering if Kyan would cancel the order, Clodel watched as the jeweler’s assistant quickly closed and packaged the jewelry boxes laid out in front of them.
“Du, Duke! Wait a moment.”
She urgently grabbed Kyan’s jacket as he was already getting up to leave the store.
“You’re buying all of that?”
“What’s the problem?”
Clodel was at a loss for words upon seeing Kyan’s confident demeanor.
“It’s too much.”
“Too much? Do you really think so?”
She nodded quickly.
“You’re wrong. It’s not too much. It’s necessary for maintaining the dignity of the Duchess of Temnes. You’re new to this role.”
“…….”
She wanted to retort but couldn’t find the right words.
In fact, Clodel had been feeling uneasy about this very issue lately.
She hadn’t realized she was the Duchess of Temnes until she saw her name engraved on a tombstone.
This land was where she was supposed to be buried, not where she was to live.
But Kyan had saved her.
And just by surviving, she became the Duchess by default.
“We’ll look for better ones when we go to the capital. For now, this will do.”
“I don’t think we’ll need more. Really.”
“How would you know if you need more or not without even having dresses made yet?”
“That’s…”
Clodel bit her lower lip slightly.
Kyan was right.
It was typical for a duchess to engage in social activities, getting several dresses tailored for each season.
Consequently, she would need to acquire jewelry to complement those dresses.
“If you don’t want to embarrass me, act accordingly to the stature of the Duchess.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“There’s a place we need to visit. Come.”
Kyan extended his arm slightly, and Clodel quickly placed her hand on it.
However, as he seemed to forget she was there and walked with long strides, she ended up almost being dragged and had to call out to him.
“Duke. You’re walking too fast. Slow down.”
“I was walking slowly.”
Surprisingly, it seemed like he thought he was being considerate, as his eyes looked sincere.
“The strides are different!”
“Ah. I see.”
The two started walking again, and this time their pace finally matched.
They were in a quaint town not far from Lowen Castle.
From what she saw on the carriage ride, it seemed like only commercial buildings and marketplaces were clustered here, with no residential houses in sight.
In Balmond, the land was barren and too cold, so the massive castle housed the merchants’ shops inside its walls.
It was divided into the outer and inner castles; the outer castle, surrounding the inner one, had a market and shops, while the inner castle was where the duke and knights resided.
Lowen, being warmer, had apparently separated its commercial city entirely outside.
Clodel’s eyes were busy enjoying this rare outing.
Then, a garden with widely blooming roses appeared by the roadside.
‘Wow. Beautiful.’
Worried about being called unsophisticated, Clodel exclaimed in awe only internally.
But upon closer inspection, it appeared to be a café.
Amid the sprawling rose garden, pretty tables were set up where couples and friends sat, enjoying tea.
Clodel found herself gazing intently at the café without realizing it.
“This way.”
Kyan pulled her along. As he headed towards the café’s entrance, a rose tunnel, Clodel observed his face.
His usual cold expression was present as he slightly bowed his head to avoid the red, white, and pink roses in the tunnel, furrowing his brow.
“Are we having tea here?”
“Yes.”
The rose garden of the café, viewed up close, was even more beautiful than from afar.
The large flower heads emitted a vivid fragrance.
Kyan, dressed in a formal outfit against the backdrop of red roses, looked quite dashing.
Thump.
Clodel’s heart fluttered.
About this marriage.
Clodel considered herself married for the sake of the starving children of the domain, while Kyan had married unwillingly.
A marriage forced by royal command.
She had resolved to accept if he disliked her or despised Belmonte.
After Kyan saved her, things changed.
Even before that, he had been somewhat softened towards Clodel since the alligator hunting incident.
Out of gratitude, she thought.
Then, after learning about Herzol, he was furious at being deceived into marrying her, but she never imagined he would procure medicine for her like this.
Just a month ago, she was dying day by day.
Click.
A teacup with a pleasant aroma was placed before her.
“Enjoy your tea, my Lord, Madam.”
Watching the maid in a white frilled apron serve tea and a silver tray with layered, pretty desserts, Clodel felt tears welling up.
“Why are you like that?”
As Clodel blinked back tears and stared at the silver tray, he asked.
“I’m just so happy to be sitting here right now.”
