Chapter 32
“Selly,… How have you been doing?”
Not only did Grace pretend to know her, but even McLion next to her hesitated to ask how she was doing.
There are limits to shamelessness. Sellonia was truly dumbfounded by the attitude of these two people.
“Did you choose the dress well? The Princess is so beautiful that you will shine no matter what you wear.”
Grace continued to talk to her warmly.
Her demeanor, with flowing blonde hair, was relaxed, and the slightly curved corners of her eyes were very bright.
Although she was thinking of ignoring her, she suddenly wondered if she had something to say and was talking to her like this.
And what kind of mentality does she have to steal someone else’s fiancé and then talk to the person she stole from?
“It seems that the Lady also came to get her dress tailored?”
“Yes. I think I’ll need to wear a dress soon.”
Sellonia smiled and asked a question, then Grace looked down, her face blushing shyly.
Her face was shy and excited, as if she had become a new bride at this moment.
Ha. Sellonia held back the laughter that was about to burst out.
Grace, who caught her in her tracks, seemed to want to say this.
She needs a wedding dress to wear to her upcoming wedding to Ian. She wasn’t even very funny.
“Aah, I see. Good for you. The Madam is skilled and very kind. I’m sure she’ll be good to you too.”
Sellonia didn’t care at all, and with her bright smile, she took a step back so that Verondi could see Grace.
“…”
Grace was closely examining Sellonia’s reaction.
As if she wanted to know if there was any sign of her displeasure in what she said.
“Oh my, I’m grateful that the Princess looks at me like that. Hohoho. However, even if the Lady is acquainted with the Princess, this isn’t a place where anyone can freely enter. I’m sorry, but I would like you to leave now.”
Verondi, who had been smiling kindly at Sellonia, suddenly turned cold and said to Grace.
“This…”
At her expected words, Sellonia looked at Grace with a deliberately exaggerated and pitiful expression.
Then, in an instant, Grace’s face turned red. As if she felt insulted.
“Don’t you know who I am?”
Eventually, a voice flowed from Grace’s calm face.
There was a great deal of conceit in her tone.
How on earth was she supposed to take this?
Doesn’t she know that she’s the daughter of Baron Bennett?
Doesn’t she know that she has become the one and only woman of the Saviors? Also, doesn’t she know that she had an affair with Duke Ian, who had a fiancée, and that she’s now the Duke’s fiancée?
Whatever it was, it was very funny that one of them became the source of Grace’s pride.
“Hmm. I’m not sure. Rather, it seems like the Lady doesn’t know much about our boutique. We don’t accept anyone as a guest. We receive them in line with the quality of our boutique.”
“Hey. Speak carefully.”
McLion, who was listening, approached Verondi and fired.
That hot-tempered personality that couldn’t tell what to do and what not to do was still the same.
“McLion, I’m fine. It’s just a shame.”
“I can provide you as much as a cup of tea, so please let me know if you need it.”
When Grace spoke with a pitiful face, Verondi responded with a welcoming smile.
Verondi was also a pretty strong enemy.
Even though McLion was covering Grace and showing signs of displeasure, she didn’t give in, said all she had to say, and went inside.
“We can’t do that. McLion, look somewhere else.”
Grace lowered her eyelids in regret and grabbed McLion’s sleeve and led him away.
“Wait. Selly, Grace wanted to get her dress tailored here. Can’t you tell that woman?”
“…”
Meg Ryan suddenly spoke to her while patting the back of Grace’s hand.
That doesn’t really make any sense.
“Could you at least say something? For your past friendship with me.”
At the same time, he even brought up the old memories.
Why are there all these bastards?
The woman he liked was trying to get a wedding dress for her wedding to another man, and he wasn’t only chasing after her, but was even asking her to help her get the dress.
And that too, to her, from whom he took back his heart, which she had given to him after breaking off relations.
“Ha, is it a two-headed body, I wonder.”
Sellonia laughed and muttered in bewilderment.
“…What?”
“Count Ford, it’s not a situation I can speak up to. Please find another place with the Lady.”
McLion responded as he had heard, yet Sellonia paid him no mind and flatly refused.
She calls him neither by his nickname nor by his first name, but by the last name he was given.
Where does that dirty mouth talk about affection? She couldn’t watch.
“Sellonia, I’m not asking you a difficult favor.”
“Don’t keep calling my name. It’s not a name the Count would use in a friendly way.”
“Sellonia, you…!”
“Hey.”
It was then.
McLion’s words were suddenly cut off by a fierce voice coming from behind.
Everyone’s eyes turned backwards.
A huge man suddenly approached and stood next to Sellonia.
A huge and majestic black shadow instantly appeared on McLion’s body, as if a beast had raised its two front paws high and revealed its gigantic form.
“She said she doesn’t want to.”
“Who are you? I’m talking to Sellonia, so you shouldn’t interfere. Sellonia, it’s just one time, why are you so…
Cough
!”
McLion couldn’t finish what he was saying.
Not only was he suddenly caught by the collar, his legs were floating in the air.
“Tan!”
Sellonia cried out in surprise, her eyes as big as a fire lamp.
She didn’t even see him reaching out, yet he immediately grabbed McLion by the collar and lifted him up.
“Can’t you hear me telling you to screw off?”
“Ugh, what are you…!”
Struggling in the air, McLion tried to break free from Tan’s grasp, but when that didn’t work, he gathered his strength into his hands.
Then, he fired the concentrated power towards him.
Sssssh.
What was going on was that Tan knocked away the force that McLion had thrown with one hand, and it turned into ashes and fell to the floor.
When McLion was in an unbelievable situation and couldn’t figure out what’s going on.
“Tan! Stop it. Don’t do that.”
Sellonia hurriedly grabbed Tan’s arm.
“…”
Tan, who seemed like he would never give up and was glaring at McLion with the intention of killing him at any moment, loosened his grip on his collar.
“
Cough
… You, are you trying to do it now?”
McLion touched his red neck and his golden eyes flashed.
The blue energy of the dragon emanating from his body could be seen with the naked eye.
“Count, please stop. I can’t believe you’re using your power to a civilian in a place like this.”
Sellonia stepped forward and spread her arms with Tan behind her.
McLion, like Ian, didn’t recognize Tan.
First of all, she had to get over this situation. It would have been a big problem if Tan used his power.
“…”
Tan was blankly looking at Sellonia’s back.
This scene was the same one he saw yesterday.
As if trying to protect Rubeus, she covered Rubeus with her body and blocked him.
Yet now she was standing in front of him, protecting him.
His heart was pounding without knowing why. As if he was moved.
Of course, that wasn’t what Sellonia meant.
“Selly, are you protecting the guy now? That guy first…!”
“Count Ford, that was what my escort knight did to protect me. And don’t you know that you’re not allowed to use force on civilians?”
“Ha…!”
McLion snorted loudly.
Civilian?
There was no way he, a dragon and a symbol of divinity, couldn’t feel the energy radiating from that man with black hair.
It wasn’t the usual energy.
The energy, which was as dark and intense as pitch black, was so sharp that it felt like it would cut one’s skin just by touching it.
He even destroyed the power he used so easily. He had skills that could never be achieved as a civilian.
Also, an escort knight?
The man in front of him had impressive red eyes under his neatly pulled hair and dark eyes, and he looked and was dressed as if anyone would look at him.
“You’re the Princess’ escort knight? My name is Grace Bennett. Can I know your name?”
At that moment, Grace, who had been quietly watching the situation, greeted Tan with a very bright face about what she was thinking.
She didn’t know that Grace’s green eyes would fall off Tan.
She even had a strange desire, as if she had found a jewel she wanted to possess.
However, Tan didn’t pay any attention to Grace’s greeting and was only looking at Sellonia’s back.
