“Still, I don’t think that cravat is quite right.”
Romeo, who had approached suddenly, swiftly untied the cravat from Lellia’s neck and tossed it aside.
In his hand was the cravat he had brought with him when he entered the dressing room.
He tied a cravat with a brilliant pattern around Lellia's neck. His touch was decidedly more skillful than her own clumsy attempts.
Lellia watched his hands intently, so she wouldn't struggle with it tomorrow morning.
Just then, Lellia impulsively glanced up at Romeo’s face, only to quickly look away.
“……”
Something felt strange, being this close to him.
Just as when they were children, Romeo's skin was still fair and his eyes, beautiful.
But was it because he’d grown so much? Suddenly, he felt unfamiliar.
As she lowered her head, her attention shifted elsewhere.
She then noticed that Romeo had a very pleasant scent. It was floral, yet refreshing.
As she sniffed unconsciously, Romeo’s expression soured.
“What are you doing?”
“Sorry…”
Though he grumbled about it being a nuisance, Romeo perfectly tied the new cravat around Lellia’s neck.
Seeing her reflection in the mirror, Lellia’s expression brightened.
Just by changing the cravat, she looked much more radiant. At the very least, she no longer seemed like Romeo’s servant.
“Thank you.”
As Lellia offered her thanks, Romeo left the dressing room as if he hadn't heard.
The clerks, who had been huddled together whispering, immediately straightened up and bowed.
Lellia, who followed him out, handed the measuring tape she was holding to a clerk.
“The garments you've purchased will be altered and delivered to your residence by tomorrow. If I may ask for the address…”
The clerk asked Romeo cautiously. As if his earlier selections weren’t enough, Romeo was now looking at hats.
Romeo ordered a few hats to be packed along with the rest and said,
“To the Imperial Villa. Just say they’re for Prince Romeo, and a servant will take care of it.”
“……!”
At his words, the clerk’s eyes widened in shock.
