My Second Engagement: Loved by the Duke’s Son and Thanked for My Healing Magic ~ My Selfish Sister Took My Fiancé, but Gave Him Back Because She Didn’t Want Him Anymore~ - Episode 20
“This way. Please watch your step when getting off.”
“This place is…?”
“This store makes and sells clothes mainly for nobles and merchants. They also sell dresses here.”
A strong-looking man was standing outside the store. He was probably a guard.
The atmosphere of the store felt elegant and expensive.
It was clearly not a place for commoners.
“Oh my, if it isn’t Lord Julite Grace.”
“Welcome, Lord Julite Grace!”
As soon as the guard greeted him, the store staff all welcomed us at once.
They seemed friendly and polite, so I bowed as well.
“Today, I want to have a dress made for her.”
“My, my, what a beautiful young lady! She is tall and has such lovely golden hair. We will make the perfect dress for her.”
I felt a chill of fear run through my whole body.
I grabbed Julite’s sleeve and whispered to him.
“Umm… This store seems very expensive…?”
“Haha, well, it is a store for nobles.”
“But I already have so many dresses in my room that I haven’t even worn yet—”
“I’ll leave it to you.”
“Please, come inside~”
He ignored me!
If this was happening, I had to choose the cheapest item possible.
But for some reason, we were led even deeper into the store.
“She is my fiancée, Reina Falrune. I would like a dress that suits her.”
“Oh my, so she is the daughter of the Viscount Falrune. Thank you for purchasing so many items from us the other day.”
“Huh?”
Father loves money, but he doesn’t spend it on things like this.
Mother isn’t the type to buy things impulsively either.
Could it be that Almia went on a shopping spree here? Or did she force Julite to buy things for her!?
I looked at Julite, and he seemed to understand my thoughts.
“I have never brought her here.”
“Hmm…”
If Julite wasn’t involved, then I didn’t care. It was no longer my concern, so I let it go.
“You have a wonderful figure. We will take precise measurements now.”
“Alright, I will step out for a moment. I leave the design and materials to you.”
Without waiting for my reply, Julite left the room.
I couldn’t refuse in front of the store owner.
With no escape, I removed my clothes.
As I stood there in my white undergarments, the female store owner looked at me in admiration.
“My, my, your body is even more beautiful than I expected. Your stomach is toned, like a model’s.”
At the Falrune household, I worked every day, so I built up some strength and stamina.
Even after moving to the duke’s house, I continued to stretch and exercise secretly to stay in shape.
I wanted to be a woman worthy of Julite, so I had to keep working hard.
“I will do my best to create something wonderful.”
“…Thank you.”
“Let’s see, how about silk fabric? And should we use diamonds here? Or maybe rubies? Perhaps sapphire, since it matches your fiancé’s color… What should we do?”
She kept mentioning expensive materials.
But there was nothing I could do, so I just nodded and went along with it.

“Next, we are going here. Please watch your step.”
“This time…?”
“This store sells rings, accessories, and necklaces mainly for nobles and merchants.”
It was happening again.
I couldn’t let him spend any more money on me.
“No, I can’t let you spend so much money!”
“Haha, this is part of my duty as the future duke. Besides, I’m happy to do it.”
“Happy…? Why?”
“Because I can see that you don’t care about money. That makes me happy.”
I didn’t understand what he meant.
Before I knew it, I was being pulled along again.
“Welcome, Lord Julite Grace!”
There was no escape.
I had no choice but to go inside.
“This is my fiancée, Reina Falrune. Please measure her finger size first.”
“Oh my, so she is the daughter of Viscount Falrune. Thank you for purchasing so many fine accessories from us the other day.”
“Huh!?”
Déjà vu!
I glanced at Julite just to be sure, but it seemed he wasn’t involved.
I couldn’t believe that the Falrune family had that much money.
How did they afford it…?
As I thought about it, I let the female store owner take my left hand and measure my ring finger.
“This size should be perfect.”
“Thank you. Please make the ring I ordered with this size.”
“Understood.”
“A ring you ordered…?”
“That’s a secret.”
He wouldn’t tell me.
We left the store right after that.
I wondered where he would take me next.
