Seeing Shanet’s child-like excited face made a pang of guilt shoot through my heart. But having signed the contract, I supposed I had to accept these feelings of burden.
I managed a smile similar to Shanet’s.
“…It would be an honor if you would help, Madame Shanet.”
While I was discussing wedding plans with Shanet, Leus entered the room.
“Oh, Leus. You’re here?”
“Aunt. I’d like to have a word with Miss Ivel alone, if I may.”
“Oh dear, I was being thoughtless, wasn’t I? Roel, I’ll leave for now. It was delightful today. Let’s continue our talk tomorrow.”
Shanet smiled, tapped Leus’s arm, and left before I could say anything. Suddenly, Leus and I were alone in the large room.
‘Awkward…!’
He was already a difficult and awkward person to deal with. The thought of marrying him made it even harder to look at him.
But he seemed unfazed. Leus approached me naturally and reached out his hand.
“We should get used to this.”
“Yes, we should….”
I nodded weakly and accepted his hand.
“I just came back from sending a letter to the Earl of Ivel.”
Leus led me to a table under the window and pulled out a chair for me, allowing me to sit down facing him naturally.
“Thank you, Duke.”
Though Leus remained standing beside me, I expected he would soon sit across from me.
But Leus sat right next to me. It was disconcerting enough that he sat so close, but he also kept his gaze fixed on me.
“……Is there a problem.”
“Roel.”
“…….”
Startled by Leus suddenly calling my name so familiarly, I involuntarily held my breath.
“We agreed to call each other by our first names, didn’t we?”
“Ah, yes… That’s right….”
We had briefly discussed how we should behave towards each other after signing the contract.
Leus wanted people to believe that our marriage was motivated by nothing but love.
He seemed to have his reasons for the suggestion, but I didn’t ask. Anyway, it seemed beneficial for me in several ways.
But I didn’t expect it to start this soon, especially when we were alone!
“Although I was the one who passionately pursued you, if we agreed to cooperate, you should at least call me by my name.”
“Yes, Duke….”
“Roel. Use my first name.”
I couldn’t quite get the words out right away, but I nodded earnestly as if to say I would do so in the future.
Yesterday, Leus came to inform me that the wedding preparations would start immediately.
And just as I had been told, the preparations for the wedding were quickly underway.
On the first day, we selected the venue for the wedding and the company to decorate it. On the second day, we chose the menu for the guests, and the following day, we drafted a rough guest list and decided on the design for the invitations.
Spending days busily like this, the day to fit the wedding dress soon arrived.
The dress I was to be fitted for today was from the Celeste Atelier, known for its bookings being full for years.
Shanet and Celeste had been busily discussing in front of me, and that was the reason.
“It seems like Miss Ivel suits something more glamorous, doesn’t she?”
“But everything she’s tried on so far has looked so good, it’s hard to choose. Even the one she just tried on was so beautiful….”
“Ah! How about choosing three dresses then? One for the main ceremony, another for part two of the event, and another for the celebration party.”
I was shocked to hear that one dress costs more than a mansion, and now three?
‘One is already more than enough burden…!’
But Shanet, as if she had already agreed with Celeste’s opinion, was laying out the dresses and deeply immersed in her thoughts.
I was about to intervene and persuade Shanet when suddenly, there was a commotion among the employees at Celeste Atelier.
