The Heroine Had An Affair With My Fiance - Chapter 9

Chapter 2

Episode 9

~*~

(Ciela’s pov)

Today was the day I decided to go to the boutique to match Reynos’s clothes.

May, who had been looking at me for the past few days with her face that she would die of curiosity, asked carefully.

“What are you doing?”

“What?”

“That man.”

Aha. Reynos.

Until now, I had never told May about Reynos.

In front of noble girls, I insisted on the protection of the ‘pure and delicate Ciel Labyrinth’ image, but I don’t have to do that in front of May.

I motioned for her to come closer and whispered in her ear.

“Someone who’s cheating with me.”

“What?”

“It’s just that. If he cheats, there’s no reason for me not to either.”

“Miss.”

May put her hands on her waist and furrowed her eyebrows.

I said that May was my maid, but she was more like my real sister. Since May’s mother was also my nanny, the original Ciel and her grew up drinking the same milk at the same time.

So I didn’t feel bad at all, even though it wasn’t something a maid should say to her master.

I looked at her leisurely, waiting for the nagging to follow.

That cheating is bad, or that you shouldn’t do it, blah blah-

“I wholeheartedly agree with miss cheating on him.”

But, May even clapped her sternly.

“But I think you should do it with a really cool person.”

“Cool person?”

“Yes. So, for example.”

May, who was looking for examples while narrowing her brow, lifted her fingers one by one.

“The handsome, the powerful, the rich.”

“There is no such person in the world.”

“No, there is. For example, the Crown Prince!”

May claimed that she had never seen the prince’s face, but he must be handsome.

“It would be nice if all three were satisfied, but at least two should be satisfied. Like as handsome as the Crown Prince, as powerful as the Crown Prince, or richer than the Crown Prince.”

“Why does that sound like the emperor?”

“His Majesty the Emperor is a married man.”

That’s right.

“In that sense, that man is disqualified. He’s handsome, but he doesn’t look like he has the money or power. I know just by looking at it.”

No, I don’t think so. Don’t you know how expensive Lilstein’s roses are?

…Ugh.

“May, wait a minute.”

Ah…

“Anyway, I am against it. The truth is, I don’t like all men in the world. At least the Crown Prince should be able to get along with a young lady!”

“Thank you for telling me that.”

“Right? So you better not hang out with him.”

“It’s not that I appreciate it.”

Mei, who was about to say ‘why-’, was startled. She finally realized that I was not the one who answered the past two times.

Ah, why now?

I lowered my gaze, ignoring the burning face.

“Please forgive her rudeness.”

I was on my way out into town in a carriage.

I lowered my head to Reynos who was sitting across from me.

Criticizing the royal family? Even if I was taken to jail right away, I had nothing to say.

“It’s okay.”

Thankfully, Reynos smiled prettily saying that it was okay.

“Your maid has a good eye for people.”

“Huh?”

“As she said, there is no one in this empire who meets all the conditions except me.”

“…”

“You think so too?”

“…”

I couldn’t tell if that was a joke or a serious remark, so I just blinked.

“…”

Judging by the atmosphere, it doesn’t look like he’s going to take May and I to jail for slander of the imperial family.

When I didn’t answer right away because I was trying to figure out the situation, Reynos asked with a sullen look.

“You don’t think so?”

“Oh, no!”

I don’t know what it was, but no one hates compliments. Hmmmm, I started praising him with all my heart.

“You’re the most handsome person I’ve ever seen. Anyone who walks by will say the same thing. His Majesty is the most handsome man in the Empire-no, the world.”

Reynos’s face turned red.

He seemed to like compliments when he swung his gaze away, so I decided to give him a little more push.

“When I look at Your Majesty, your eyes are so dazzling that it hurts-”

“Stop.”

He covered his red face with his hand and cut me off. He seemed very ashamed that even the nape of his neck had turned red.

I shut my mouth like a clam. After waiting for such a long time, Reynos, whose face color had barely returned to its original color, changed the topic while pretending it was nothing.

“Have you thought about what clothes to choose?”

“Well, to be honest, no. I woke up late.”

“Take it slow then. Today’s schedule is all empty. Aren’t you busy?”

“I’m okay.”

For today, I left all my work behind to Leather.

He said he was going to kill me and whined, but for me, this date was the most important.

Belatedly, I pondered which design would suit Reynos well.

Then I asked a question that suddenly came to mind.

“But what should I call your majesty?”

I’ve never called Reynos outside.

It was because there was no need because we had only a short meeting to stimulate the imagination of noble girls.

On the other hand, we’re going to a boutique today, so I thought it would be good to make a plan in advance just in case.

‘I can’t call you openly.’

For convenience, Reynos used to introduce himself to others as an ‘Imperial Knight’. The clothes he wore today were also casual clothes worn by many of the Imperial Knights.

Reynos pondered for a moment, then replied casually.

“Ray.”

“Isn’t it too short?”

“Then what do you want to call me?”

But isn’t Ray too much like a nickname?

If I call him that way, we might be mistaken that we are truly dating. I have to be careful not to cross the line.

While thinking like that, the carriage arrived in front of the boutique. I was escorted by Reynos and got off the carriage.

Upon entering, the owner of the boutique and the staff greeted us right away.

“Welcome… Ah.”

Then they looked at me and Reynos and flinched. 

What?

Hiding my doubts, I said casually.

“I want to see men’s clothes.”

“Yes, I will prepare it soon.”

The staff who checked Reynos’s physique flocked to the shop. They’re probably going to bring matching clothes.

Me and Reynos headed to the waiting room under the guidance of Madame. It was when I was walking down the long hallway, there was a waiting room with the door wide open, and I glanced at it without thinking.

“You…”

The person in the waiting room looked at me and frowned.

I also reflexively frowned.

Blue hair and blue eyes. It was Duval, a man with a good and smooth appearance.

I didn’t think he came alone. The moment I saw the curtained dressing room and the dresses in front of him, I had an intuition that he came with Tyrael.

Duval, who was leisurely looking at the pamphlet, got up and approached.

Oh, I’m sorry. I was intentionally trying to avoid him.

Duval, who came all the way to the front, asked fiercely.

“Is the rumor true?”

“What rumor?”

“This man.”

Duval’s gaze fell on Reynos. Reynos frowned as he looked at Duval.

“Are you really her lover?”

“Ah.”

I laughed out loud at the absurd question. What do I have to say to get a good answer?

Suddenly a good idea came to me and I winked at Reynos. Then I gently linked our arms and brought his body close, and spoke in a voice as if I were in love.

“Yes.”

Reynos stiffened.

Meanwhile, Duval looked as if he had been hit in the head with a hammer.

Looking at the changing room, he lowered his voice and fired.

“You’re leaving me and dating another man?”

“Aren’t you going to break up with me anyways?”

“I wasn’t really going to do it… Ha, right. Did you want to get my attention like this?”

“What do you mean?”

“Hey, take it easy. There are limits to what you should do.”

“What??”

“Did you think I’d be nice to you if you brought a guy like this?”

“What the hell are you talking about?”

Still clinging to Reynos, I squinted my eyes as Duvall groaned in pain.

Then, as if frustrated, he gritted his teeth, talking in a voice that Tyrael wouldn’t hear in the changing room.

“Okay, fine… You must have wanted to hear this, but no matter what kind of woman I meet, you are the one I love the most. Are we okay now?”

What? I beg your pardon?
