Chapter 33

What’s wrong?

Is there something you don’t like about it?!

Isabel answered gently.

“It’s just, my heart is racing.”

Then she softly pressed her hand against her chest.

A gentle smile spread across her lovely face.

“Actually going around looking at shop locations like this… it feels strange.”

“……”

Eyes filled with anticipation.

Cheeks flushed pink.

Seeing Isabel so full of life, I somehow felt moved.

“You can look forward to it.”

I spoke with conviction.

“From now on, Sister-in-law will become the owner of the most successful dress shop in this shopping district—no, no, in the entire Empire.”

At those words, Isabel’s eyes widened.

After a moment.

“I really hope that happens.”

Isabel’s smile deepened.

We continued chatting warmly as we strolled through the shopping district.

The process of visualizing the future dress shop was very enjoyable.

Just then.

Isabel’s gaze stopped at one shop.

“Oh, that place is…”

It was the general store where Isabel had sold the doll clothes she made herself last time.

Isabel asked cautiously.

“Do you think those clothes sold?”

“Of course they did.”

I answered without hesitation.

Merchants never make deals that lose them money.

In fact, thinking about how much markup they probably added to those doll clothes makes my stomach hurt.

“Shall we go take a look?”

“…Still.”

Isabel hesitated a little.

I understand that feeling.

She’s probably worried about what if the doll clothes didn’t sell, and it’s weighing on her mind.

She might doubt her own abilities once again.

“Come on, Sister-in-law. Don’t you trust me?”

I deliberately acted confident.

Then Isabel looked at me quietly and,

“No, I trust you.”

She answered firmly.

I hugged Isabel’s arm tightly and smiled brightly.

“Then let’s go!”

For a moment, Isabel gazed at me quietly.

And then.

“Yes, let’s go see.”

So the two of us headed toward the general store together.

Ding-.

A clear bell sound rang out.

The general store owner standing at the counter quickly looked up.

“Welcome… Gasp!”

The general store owner’s eyes widened when he spotted us.

He unconsciously raised his voice.

“Y-you’re the ones who sold the doll clothes last time…!”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Isabel nodded and asked carefully.

“Did the doll clothes happen to sell?”

“Oh, absolutely!”

The owner rushed over to us with a bright smile and casually brought up the topic.

“Actually, about that—would you be interested in trading doll clothes regularly?”

“Doll clothes?”

“Yes! We’ll make sure to pay you really well for them. I mean, everyone’s been desperately looking for those doll clothes…”

Just as the owner was enthusiastically going on.

Isabel shook her head.

“I’m sorry, but that won’t be possible.”

Then she looked at me and smiled with her eyes.

“Someone already asked me to be business partners first.”

A thrill ran through me from head to toe.

Ha, everyone in the world.

This person is my absolute favorite!

* * *

After that.

Having thoroughly looked around the shops, we headed to a coffee house to rest a bit.

“Now then.”

Thud.

I placed a pristine white paper on the table.

I looked at Isabel with sparkling eyes.

“Shall we write down what we’ve decided so far?”

First, I wanted to clearly organize what roles each of us would play in opening this dress shop.

Then, based on that, I planned to get legal advice and create a contract.

“I should take overall charge of fashion design and production.”

“Sounds good. Then I’ll handle the initial capital investment and promotion of the dress shop.”

Elodie’s few advantages.

First, she’s an officially certified beauty in the original story, so she makes a good clothes hanger.

That means whatever clothes you put on her look reasonably decent.

And second…

‘She’s the greatest flower of high society.’

Which means.

Everything Elodie wears, eats, and enjoys can become trendy!

So I gladly decided to become the dress shop’s model.

By the way, the dress shop’s name is Bella.

It means ‘beautiful.’

“The dress shop’s registration… is it really okay for me to handle it on my side?”

Isabel, who had been busily moving her pen, glanced at me sideways.

I nodded readily.

“Of course. I trust you, Sister-in-law.”

Then Isabel’s expression became subtle.

“You shouldn’t trust people so carelessly like that. What if I had bad intentions? Especially when the registration issue is so important…”

The nagging continued endlessly.

‘Ugh, this is a bit much.’

I became a little sulky and looked at Isabel.

“So you don’t like it?”

At that question, Isabel’s shoulders stiffened with a start.

Then she seemed to move her lips a couple of times.

“…Well, it’s not that I dislike it.”

She turned her head away primly.

However, the tips of her ears had already turned reddish.

I chuckled and spoke playfully.

“I don’t act like this with other people either. I trust you because you’re my sister-in-law.”

Then Isabel suddenly became serious and turned to look at me.

“Miss.”

“Yes?”

“Promise me. That you won’t act like this with anyone else but me.”

Isabel muttered with a sigh mixed in.

“Our miss, if she’s not careful, she’s really going to make a lot of people cry…”

…What on earth is she talking about?

After that.

We coordinated various conditions and wrote down the things we needed.

Interior contractors.

Trading companies to supply dress materials, and so on.

Really, there was no end to the things we had to think about…

Especially the biggest problem was.

“We need seamstresses with good craftsmanship.”

Isabel spoke firmly.

I also nodded seriously.

“That’s right. Seamstresses are definitely very important.”

If Isabel is the head, then the seamstresses are the hands.

They’re the people who actually implement Isabel’s designs.

‘Come to think of it, in the original story, the Crown Prince helped with this.’

Crown Prince Joshua discovered Isabel’s talent and supported her.

And thus naturally everyone came to pay attention to Isabel.

Of course, skilled workers like seamstresses were also obtained automatically.

Of course, that was just a secondary factor, and Isabel would have shined brightly even without the Crown Prince’s help anyway…

‘In any case, this time we have to find the seamstresses ourselves.’

Seamstresses are precious.

Especially if we want to run a dress shop targeting nobles like us, we definitely need skilled seamstresses.

‘Ah, since I can’t get the original story buff, my brain isn’t working…’

I, who had been racking my brains, slumped down onto the table.

Well, it’s not urgent right now anyway.

Let’s ask around here and there.

But then.

Isabel, who had been chattering, suddenly became quiet.

‘Huh?’

I slightly lifted my head.

Her dark green gaze was fixed on the newspaper that a customer across from us was holding open.

And the advertisement that was prominently displayed at the bottom of the newspaper’s front page was…

<To my beloved C.

It’s already been a year since I met you.

When I meet your warm brown eyes looking up at me, I can’t tell you how much comfort I receive.

Your small smile is like a beacon.

Every time you smile at me, my heart brightens too.

Please stay by my side for the rest of my life.

With affection, your D.>

At the same time, I opened my mouth wide.

‘Wow, that’s definitely it, right?!’

It seems David followed my advice a bit too faithfully.

Smart Isabel seems to have immediately figured out what the advertisement was.

The wealth to place an ad in such a major daily newspaper, and the initial C who is the target of the advertisement.

And even the initial D representing David.

People who don’t know would just think some lovers are being dramatic and move on.

But people who know about David and Catherine’s relationship will notice.

That this advertisement is content commemorating the first anniversary with his mistress.

‘This is really pathetic…’

Well, since he placed such a loud newspaper advertisement.

It should be sufficient evidence to prove adultery in divorce court from now on.

However.

‘Isabel, I wonder if she’s feeling okay?’
