“This suits you well, miss!”
“I wonder if there’s anything that doesn’t suit you.”
Hearing the constant exclamations of admiration from the servants standing by, Elodie Montuar’s lips curled up in pleasure.
In the mirror before her stood a beautifully adorned noble young lady.
Although she didn’t show a hint of being from the countryside, her unique freshness made her appear very charming and adorable.
‘Is this really me?’
It was something she could never have imagined just a month ago.
It was only natural. This was all possible not because of her family, the Montuars, but because of Ertman here!
Elodie could still vividly recall the first time she came here.
A vast garden that seemed like it would take a whole day’s walk to fully explore and a gigantic mansion within it.
After quite a journey in the carriage, passing through the grand entrance, a beautiful marble hall and a huge chandelier greeted her.
However, what left the deepest impression on Elodie that day was not the fact that there were gold trims on every corner of the mansion, nor that the paintings hung even in the corridors were famously expensive.
What had been most striking to Elodie that day was a man.
“Let’s make a deal. It won’t be a loss for you.”
Without any proper greeting, these were the blunt first words of the blackhaired man.
The owner of this beautiful mansion, the highly revered master of Ertman, whom she would never dare to slight normally.
Thinking she would at least greet him when she came to the mansion, she met him right away.
Walter proposed a deal to Elodie.
“A, a deal?!”
“Yes. If you work for me, I’ll promise you the halo that can only be given through Ertman’s name. Your debut will be lavish, and if there is any deficiency, Ertman will support it.”
“But, the time to consider…….”
“There are many who can replace you if not you. Again, I don’t think it’s a losing deal.”
Of course. The opportunity to borrow Ertman’s halo?
This was a chance she had to grab even if she had to sell everything she had.
‘I knew it, but I tried playing hard to get, and it didn’t work.’
Elodie reluctantly accepted Walter’s proposal, hiding her disappointment.
“I will do it! But what should I do for you?”
“It won’t be too difficult. Just seduce a man. No, you might not even have to seduce him.”
Walter said so, laying the sorted documents in front of Elodie.
It was information about an individual.
“Louie… Clovis? Looking for a marriage partner… The condition is, no unnecessary rumors and someone who Louie Clovis likes to the extent of being easygoing…”
“And someone who can promise not to bind him even after marriage. That’s all. Just act like an attractive marriage partner to Louie Clovis.”
“Do I really have to get married?”
“That’s up to you. Whether it’s a strategic marriage or whatever, it’s enough if Louie Clovis positively considers marrying you. It’s not too difficult a condition to act upon.”
Walter said so, gazing at Elodie.
That sharp gaze seemed to say that he knew about Elodie.
That she was actually notorious in the Montuar region for her messy relationships with men, that she couldn’t find a decent husband there, and that was why she had come to the capital.
‘Nah, no way.’
Elodie shook her head inwardly.
Her father, Baron Montuar, cherished his daughter very much.
He must have sent her to the capital because she couldn’t find a good husband.
Therefore, Baron Montuar must have kept her male relationships a secret.
[Dash]Never behave like you do here! Act demure and modest!If he even warned her to that extent, he must have prevented her past from reaching the capital.
And as Walter said, there were plenty of people who could replace Elodie, so why would he need to investigate her past?
Elodie chuckled to herself and answered innocently.
“I’ll work hard!”
Thus, the deal was made.
Elodie was indeed determined to work hard.
So.
‘The temptation, that is.’
Walter said she could marry Louis if she wanted to.
Knowing that Louis was more than good enough for a husband from Elodie’s point of view, that’s what she said.
But Elodie had other thoughts.
‘Why, when there is a better husband here?’
Walter Ertman. He was a far more handsome man than she had heard.
Tall enough to be a head above others, and muscles that briefly showed through his clothes, wellproportioned.
His delicate face that went well with him could only be described as sculptural.
Of course, if his characteristic arrogant and cold expression was a flaw, then it would be a flaw.
But to someone of the Duke Ertman’s status, that was less of a flaw and more something that made him stand out.
Especially if one were to hear Walter’s deep voice, like watersoaked satin, it would automatically lead to imagining what it would sound like in bed.
‘Plus, the value of the name Ertman.’
The few days Elodie spent at Ertman’s were so fantastic that it made her think that life stuck in a mansion without her husband’s love would also be nice.
