Chapter 10

Estelle listened carefully to the words and glanced at the man looking at the jewels. He seemed quite accustomed to giving a person a simple order. He’s a knight, right? The man was consistent with a simple attitude that was far from the jeweler’s happy appearance.

“Do you know the size of the person who will wear the ring?”

“I don’t know…”

“Oh, then we can increase it later.”

You don’t even know the other person’s finger size. Somehow Estelle was annoyed but sitting still. The man looked toward Estelle and smiled.

“Or… how about aligning it with Moa’s fingers?”

“Me?”

“Because most women have similar fingers.”

“Even so, you’re not making a wedding ring for me!” Estelle groaned and waved her hand. The jeweler intervened.

“Miss, you’re an average size for most ladies.”

“Still, I’m not wearing it.”

After arguing for a while, it was finally finished when the jeweler replied that he would make the size that fits most of the people. “I’ll use plenty of gold! I’m sure the girl you’re getting married has a ring to her size!”

The young man and Estelle both laughed at the jeweler’s chubby hands. Estelle asked in a slightly relaxed atmosphere.

“I guess you’ve never really met her.”

“In fact, I only saw her portrait after I decided to get married.” Estelle’s eyes went round.

“Is that possible?”

People tend to exchange portraits with each other. But come to think of it, Estelle didn’t even look at the other person’s portrait.

Undoubtedly, the portrait must have been exaggerated to emphasize his looks, and after she said she would marry the Grand Duke Guller, she put it off because she didn’t want to see him. The man furrowed his eyebrows and smiled.

“Because I’m so busy.”

“I see…”

“Eh, Moa, do you know the person you’re going to marry?”

Estelle shook her head. “I’m getting married to someone my father chose me to marry “

“You don’t even know his face?”

“Hm…”

As he rolled his eyes, the young man smiled coolly, revealing his teeth.

“It’s understandable. You don’t have to answer me.”

He probably said that because he also felt sympathy for Estelle. Estelle looked at him and asked.

“However, the other party agreed to it.”

Estelle stared at the man. Phil smiled bitterly.

“It was probably strange, so I sent a letter again saying she doesn’t need to bring anything big but there was no reply.”

Estelle glared as soon as she heard it.

“Of course!”

“…Of course?”

“Who likes to say that, no matter how hasty a marriage is decided?”

Perhaps the letter from Grand Duke Guiller that Estelle remembered just before leaving the dressing room was the reason. Estelle’s pity for a woman she didn’t know grew, and she suddenly poured out words in her stead.

No woman likes that. You perhaps won’t say that you will cherish her and make her happy for the rest of her life, but how can you say that? Do you think that if you buy only expensive jewelry…. Even if you carry the wedding ring, that’s not enough….

“If it’s like this, even if you go with the ring, you’ll get dumped right away!”

“…Is that so?”

“Oh, of course…”

At that time, Estelle hesitated when she saw Phil asking back with a puzzled face. She wouldn’t just dump him if that face came with a ring, though.

“That’s what I’m saying…”

In the end, Estelle’s words were as spoken. Wouldn’t it be weird to say that he will be dumped when he already paid for the jewelry?

In addition, it would be a little strange for her to bring it here and say such a thing. So, Estelle replied with a sigh.

“If Phil asks one to get married, anyone has to accept it…”

“….I see.”

While saying that, it was hard to do something about the sulky feeling. Estelle eventually turned her words around and looked at the jewels in front of them and said, “It’s pretty. I really want this ruby, too,” she murmured.

Listening to Estelle, the man pointed to a round peridot the size of Estelle’s fingernails among the jewels.

“I like this one.”

“You like light green.”

At Estelle’s reply, Phil stared in her direction and smiled a beat later.

“It’s beautiful like the color of Moa’s eyes.”

Badump. If the man had better hearing, he would hear her beating heart.

Estelle couldn’t help her face turning red in an instant and said, “Oh my God… you have a talent for holding a woman’s heart.”

Phil just laughed.

Soon the jeweler called the man, and he signed the acquisition papers a short distance away. He signed quite a few times and talked for a long time, so he thought that there must be a lot of documents involved to buy such jewelry.

After a while, the man approached with the payment completion paperwork handed to him by the jeweler in his arms.

“Let’s go. I owe you a lot.”
