I Became the illegitimate son of a duke

30 – Coming of Age Ceremony and Wedding (2)

“Until I’m 20… Put.”

I don’t know why he’s 20 years old, but I do know that the Duke is afraid of women younger than him.

Are you too shy? Or is it simply a moral yardstick?

Well, either way doesn’t matter. Because you’re cute, it doesn’t change.

Besides, he refuses to sleep with you s*xually… Kuh, is it okay to literally just sleep together?

“There’s no way I can sleep peacefully.”

You allowed me to share the same bed.

You really think I’m just going to sleep?

If you provoked me to react like this, you’re quite a skilful… If you’re sincere, you’re too clumsy, Duke.

As I was taught by my mother… Men physiologically can’t leave a woman touching their skin.

Even if the duke endures it with superhuman patience, I just need to move first.

The first night was meekly

[Whoops…]

‘…’

I can’t help but think of Chloe’s laughter at a time like this.

…Yeah, from that smile, you know I noticed what was going on between the two of you.

It is normal to be ashamed of knowing, what is the reaction?

It’s as if Ji is looking down on me for being one step ahead.

Because mistresses are very common in the aristocratic world, I tried to ignore Chloe’s since she was from a shallow background and was easy to manage because she was by her side…

“I have to step on the ki soon—”

Smart –

At that time, a knock sounded from the door.

“ㅡCome in. What’s going on?”

“My lady, after Mr. Chloe confirmed that you were in the room, he went into the Duke’s room.”

“…Really?”

If I keep doing this, will my patience be limited?

I need to attach more people to Chloe.

Today I was thinking of going to the basement to relieve my stress… Whew…

…………

“…Your Highness, it is unprecedented in Burgon to hold a coming-of-age ceremony and a wedding at the same time, so there is some confusion among the officials on site as to what to do with the etiquette.”

Today, as always, Ines is sitting on the sofa, and Chloe is standing beside me and assisting me.

On the outside, there is no difference from usual, but the energy leaking out of the body is very creepy, and the expression is different from before, and it shows that he is forcibly wearing a mask.

Leclerc froze a little as if he was taken aback when he saw the two of them, but soon came to his senses and told me about his business.

“Really? If you refer to the etiquette of the Principality of Laurel… You’ll lose face. Umm…”

The opponent is Ines, but this is Burgon. If you carelessly refer to Laurel’s etiquette, you’ll lose face with your vassals.

Honestly, I’d like to say [What’s wrong with that?]… But what can I do, other people don’t think so.

“Why don’t you use the same place, but don’t hold the coming-of-age ceremony and the wedding ceremony at the same time, and hold the wedding right after the coming-of-age ceremony? Choose what you see.”

“Yes, I will pass it on.”

It’s better to just choose the one that seems better to you, rather than agonizing over it all to yourself.

It may seem too irresponsible, but it works very well. The more opinions there are, the higher the probability of a good opinion, and I may not be able to find a problem with my own perspective.

“Then next… Ines.”

“Yes, yes? The Duke.”

Looks like Ines didn’t expect me to talk to him.

He stammered while making a strange sound, but soon remembered what he had done and his face turned red.

Looking at it this way, he’s a very pure and kind child, but why is he with Chloe… Eww?

“How’s the dress going?”

“Ah… Laurel has prepared something for you.”

“Really? Is that the white dress you wore to the coronation?”

“No way, even if it’s a private event, you shouldn’t wear a dress worn in a public event again in a public event.”

It looks like you’ve been preparing for this from the beginning.

From the beginning, it seemed that they had in mind that the coming-of-age ceremony and wedding ceremony would be held at the same time from the time they departed from the Duchy of Laurel.

“It’s a pity, I tried to match a dress.”

“hehehe, I’ll only accept your heart. It’s no fun to know in advance, so please look at my beautiful appearance on the day.”

“Wow…”

Ines covers her mouth with her hand while smiling. The man is accurately pinpointing the dying point.

Really… My heart is pounding so hard.

“…?”

At that time, I heard the sound of something rubbing against me. It’s like the sound of a wooden cabin before it collapses.

I hurriedly turned her head in the direction of the sound, but I couldn’t find anything wrong except Chloe standing there with a calm expression.

‘That sound… Is that a wall? Or the ceiling?’

From the outside, it looks fine… But just in case, I’ll have to ask them to see if it won’t collapse.

“That… Master.”

“Huh?”

Chloe speaks to me as I examine the walls and ceiling with slightly frowning eyes.

The voice and expression seem to be hesitating about something. What?

“May I… Go there too?”

“The place? Oh, you mean coming-of-age and weddings? Of course.”

As soon as she heard my answer, Chloe, who had been hesitant until just now, covered her face and smiled brightly as if she had never done that before.

Why are you so happy about something like this? I invited her to the audience, but there’s no way I’d refuse Chloe to come.

“And… I want to match another dress… Is that okay…?”

These days, Chloe’s pampering me has increased.

Up until the day before the coronation, Chloe always behaved dignifiedly, but as the days go by, she is showing more and more humanity. Very good.

By the way… Why a dress? Does it have anything to do with what Ines just said? Yes, this is it

“Okay, do as you please. But not too conspicuous like back then?”

“Yes…!”

However, dresses that are too flashy or too revealing like those days are of course not allowed.

At the coronation, I was the male protagonist, so it wasn’t a problem for Chloe to dress fancy, but this time, not only me, but also Ines was the main character.

If Chloe wears a dress that is more flashy and catchy than Ines, the main character, she will be disliked by Ines and not looked upon with good eyes by the Laurel family in attendance.

I want to dress Chloe in pretty clothes, but I can’t because of her political stance. It’s sad.

…………

“What kind of dress should I make…”

I want to make everything myself from start to finish, but I’m a bit dissatisfied that I can’t make the fabric myself… But I’m glad I was able to choose a good fabric store thanks to the kids who are well versed in the city’s circumstances.

My master, who has not seen my dexterity, knows that I entrust the dress to a tailor and give him advice. Maybe that’s why it was so hard to refuse because he paid me a lot of money to make a dress for me.

Hey, it’s an important dress to show to the owner, but you can’t entrust it to someone else.

“All right, thanks for the directions.”

“Persimmon, thank you…”

A child dressed as an ordinary village boy guides Chloe in her servant’s uniform.

From the outside, she is an innocent and innocent child, but inside she is not at all.

This child, who has been constantly receiving education at an orphanage close to her brainwashing, values Claude and Chloe more than her own life.

This was intentionally created by Chloe, and her efforts to make it her own by constantly interfering with the orphanage for nine years have finally come to fruition.

“Welcome. Oh, that girl.”

“Hello, do you have a non-reflective black cloth and a slightly glossy yellow cloth and thread?”

“Of course there is a slightly glossy yellow cloth and thread. However, there are so many kinds of black cloth, so I can’t pinpoint what the lady wants. Would you like to see it for yourself?”

“Yes!”

Chloe examines the fabrics displayed by the cloth merchant one by one, and smiles with satisfaction when she finds a matte black fabric with very small vertical and horizontal stripes.

“I’ll live with this.”

“Thank you, see you next time.”

“See you later.”

Befitting the fabric Chloe has her eye on, it is very expensive, but after lightly handing several gold coins into the merchant’s hand, Chloe takes the fabric she has chosen and leaves the store.

The merchant is delighted to see Chloe, who is making a cool deal this time, and sees her off, and smiles like Chloe and shakes her hand.

“Ah, over there… Ugh!?”

When Chloe comes out, a boy waiting near the store hurriedly attacks Chloe. It was because he had seen Chloe go into labor herself.

“I, there… I…”

“It’s okay, I’ll pick it up myself.”

“But I’m afraid it’s going to be too hard—”

“…Did I pick it up myself?”

“Yes, yes…”

Seeing Chloe carrying her luggage, the village boy gets restless and says he will carry it instead.

It’s a dress I’ll wear myself, and I’ll show it to my master, but I can’t let other people get dirty, right?

“hehehehe… He said you shouldn’t stand out too much, so make it subtle and full of dignity—”

“My lady, I’m being followed.”

“…Tailing?”

At that time, a man suddenly comes and warns that Chloe has been followed.

Chloe, who was imagining happiness, was interrupted and slightly annoyed. Hearing that he was tailing, he changed his expression.

“Yes, it’s the first person I’ve ever seen in the city… He’s wearing burgundy clothes, but he’s so awkward, and judging from his every action, he’s a professionally trained attendant.”

“Hmm…”

Then that b*tch must be an attendant sent to watch over me. Originally, he was in Laurel, so Burgon’s clothes must be awkward.

“Kill, invisibly.”

“Yes.”

It’s just fine. In the castle, he was caught too easily, so I couldn’t touch him, but he came out like this on his own.

It bothered me because there were so many eyes, but I can get rid of them a little bit.

“What style of dress would the owner like…”

Chloe, who orders an ordinary-looking village man to kill Ines’ attendant, returns to her original lively self as if she never did.

Of course. For Chloe, making a dress that Claude would like is more important than whether Ines’ servant lives or dies.
