26.
In fact, the shirt that Lian was currently wearing wasn’t his.
Naturally, he hadn’t chosen to wear such a shirt of his own accord either.
How this came to be was…
Last night, encountering Chase at the manor had been the root of the problem.
As soon as he saw Castillian, he asked.
“Lian, aren’t you hot?”
Indeed, Castillian was suffering from the heat since it was summer.
But at the same time, he was also cold.
This was due to the side effects of the dyeing patch.
However, he wasn’t well aware of his condition and answered like this.
“I suppose.”
“Hmm.”
Chase stroked his chin.
With quite a serious expression on his face.
‘Is he worried about my health?’
Castillian waited for Chase without giving any response.
After pondering for a while, Chase soon raised one eyebrow.
“As I thought… no matter how I look at it, it’s not good.”
“…?”
“Lian, it’s summer but aren’t you bundling up too much? Anyone would think autumn has already arrived.”
“…”
“And the shirt’s design is too plain. Boring… It looks even more so because you’ve buttoned it all the way up.”
…That’s right.
Chase wasn’t worried, he simply didn’t like the fashion.
‘He says my outfit is boring…?’
Castillian usually wore shirts and pants whenever he went to work at the Center.
It was a very ordinary design that wouldn’t look strange to anyone.
But such attire seemed to bother Chase’s eyes.
Because he was ‘Chase Willow’.
Being a casanova, he always pursued clothing that could highlight his body lines and muscles unless bitter cold weather came.
To such a Chase, Castillian’s fashion looked like this.
‘He looks like someone who would shut himself in a library studying all day, cutting off communication with people 365 days a year.’
Meaning he looked like a nerd among nerds.
“Here.”
Chase handed over his shirt.
“This is one of the larger ones I have, so the size should fit somewhat.”
“…”
“Wear this to work tomorrow.”
Castillian was flustered as soon as he received the shirt.
“…What is this piece of fabric?”
Just by picking up the shirt, his palm was clearly visible through it.
It was so thin and narrow that it was questionable to call it clothing.
“A piece of fabric? It’s hurtful when you put it that way. I waited 6 months to have this shirt tailored at a high-end tailor shop.”
Chase forcibly made Castillian wear the shirt.
“Hmm, the buttons do close but it’s still a bit small as expected.”
“…”
“…No wait. This is an opportunity. It would be a good method to appeal to Siena by showing off your bulging muscles.”
“…”
“Anyway, you know this, right? To catch Siena’s eye, you need to act like me and dress like me.”
Once again, Castillian was properly fooled by the con artist.
‘Right… for Siena’s sake.’
To win her heart, I have to wear even embarrassing clothes.
Thus, Castillian went to work wearing the see-through shirt with his eyes tightly shut.
In reality, even he was enduring the embarrassment.
‘Siena… keeps looking at my chest.’
Is this okay…?
Though it didn’t show at all due to his characteristically dry personality.
That’s when it happened.
The clicking sound of heels began to be heard.
“…Anyway, let’s try on all the accessories first and then decide, my lady. You’ll get a better feel by seeing the actual items rather than looking at the catalog.”
“Yes, I’ll do that.”
Violet and Deborah were coming toward the jewelry display.
‘Damn.’
Siena quickly turned her back to them and linked arms with Lian.
“H-honey! I want to look at clothes!”
She had to quickly get away from the jewelry display.
Lian seemed to understand immediately.
He grasped Siena’s hand that was wrapped around his arm.
“You want to look at clothes?”
“Yes, please pick them out for me, honey. You know best in this world what suits me.”
“Well, I do know that well.”
Siena immediately pulled Lian along.
Fortunately, they avoided running into Violet’s group by a hair’s breadth.
Siena, who had barely managed to move to where the dresses were hanging, felt relieved.
“Phew…”
Violet and Deborah seemed too busy discussing accessories to pay attention.
“My lady, let’s think about the necklace first. Which one appeals to you?”
“Hmm… I’m not sure. Since the dress is light purple, wouldn’t a necklace of the same color be good?”
“That’s not bad either… but matching with too much of the same color lacks charm.”
“Th-then what should I do?”
“You should go with the same family but different brightness. A dark purple necklace and earrings would be better.”
“Ah…”
Violet had a completely entranced expression as if listening to a cult leader’s speech.
Deborah took out a dark purple necklace.
Then Violet nodded her head.
“It’s true. Dark purple goes better with the dress than light purple.”
As she was admiring it, she suddenly blushed.
“I hope… The Prince also likes purple.”
Siena unconsciously snorted.
‘Good grief… No, Violet.’
You still haven’t come to your senses?
‘Even after having such a romantic first encounter with Johan, you only think about The Prince?’
Your gossipy friends’ power must have been weak.
Then, Lian suddenly brought his face close to Siena’s.
“Darling.”
“Yes?”
“I like gold.”
It was a sudden declaration of his preference.
‘What is he talking about all of a sudden?’
Siena stared blankly at Lian without answering.
Then Lian added.
“Gold is the color of my eyes. What about you?”
He tilted his head habitually.
That gesture looked like a cunning cat charming enough to bewitch people (though I hate to admit it).
‘He also looks like the fox male lead from that animal paradise animation…’
Siena replied thoughtlessly.
“I like gold too.”
“That’s a relief.”
“…”
“I’ve never liked purple.”
Lian said this while looking straight into Siena’s eyes.
Siena tilted her head.
“Eh…?”
What does that mean?
Ding.
Just then, a bell rang from the entrance.
It was a slightly slower but more pleasant sound than the one at Aisa’s salon.
And the person who opened the door and entered was Johan.
Siena immediately brightened up.
‘Johan…!’
Johan appeared right on schedule.
“Welcome, customer. This is Valerie Atelier.”
The staff greeted him while unable to shake off their puzzled expressions.
‘Well, it’s rare for a male customer to come to a place like this alone.’
Deborah seemed to feel the same way.
While she hadn’t paid particular attention to Siena and Lian, she looked at Johan with surprise.
Eventually, Deborah approached him directly.
“Customer, what brings you here?”
“I… came to buy a handkerchief.”
Violet, who had been examining necklaces and earrings, flinched.
Only then did she turn to look at Johan.
“…Marquis Beloster!”
“Ah, my lady.”
Johan’s face, which had been stiff with tension, immediately relaxed.
The dimples at the corners of his mouth began to show in response to seeing Violet.
Johan delivered his lines according to the script Siena had written.
“I never expected to encounter you in a place like this, my lady.”
“Me neither. I never thought I’d see you here today, Marquis…”
Violet tucked her hair behind her ear, looking shy.
Johan bit his lip slightly.
Deborah was watching the two of them alternately with sharp eyes.
Siena’s mouth fell open.
‘Wow, she’s really quick to catch on.’
She knows Johan came here on purpose.
Deborah had figured out his intentions with just a few words from Johan and his attitude toward Violet.
‘Of course, she doesn’t know he’s getting help from a love manipulation team.’
While Siena was focused on Deborah, Lian was doing something else.
He pulled out a dress and held it up against Siena.
“Honey, how about this one?”
“Ah…”
“Hmm?”
“Yes, it’s pretty.”
Siena replied absentmindedly without even looking at the dress.
Lian, who had been quietly watching her, suddenly spoke up.
“Siena, look at me.”
