It Seemed My Fiancé Hated Me, So I Distanced Myself—But for Some Reason, He Complained - Chapter 53

Just then, an ill-tempered voice came flying from the side—Princess Jenna’s.

“Brother Theodore, what are you getting so absorbed in? Just because you realized she likes Magical Pharmacology, so what? Anyone would have noticed that.”

“Oh? But you didn’t notice, did you?”

“I did notice she was absorbed in something.”

“So, you didn’t know she liked Magical Pharmacology after all, did you?”

“You’re so annoying! I’m telling you, it’s nothing to be surprised about!”

Princess Jenna retorted, clearly flustered. Prince Theodore wore an exasperated expression.

Hesitantly, I called out to the fuming Princess Jenna.

“Um, Princess Jenna?”

“What? Do you have some complaint?”

Princess Jenna turned to me with a dissatisfied look.

“I was hoping to talk with you about dresses at today’s tea party. I’ve never paid much attention to clothing before. I heard you like the Primrose Boutique in the royal capital, right? If it’s alright, could you tell me some of your recommendations?”

“Wh-what?!”

Princess Jenna’s face turned bright red.

Once again, her reaction was unexpected, and I was taken aback. Had I said something strange again?

“Why should I have to talk about dresses with you? And of all things, why that shop that only sells ridiculous dresses covered in lace and ribbons?!”

Princess Jenna’s face remained red as she raised her eyebrows sharply.

As His Highness said, the Primrose Boutique mainly sells adorable dresses lavishly adorned with lace and ribbons. The colors are mostly pastels like white, pink, and light blue, giving a strong impression of a shop aimed at young girls.

My half-sister Chelsea often visited that shop with our father and stepmother, returning with many dresses.

Of course, I had never been taken there even once.

“I was just a little curious. My sister… no, an acquaintance of mine often wore dresses from that kind of shop.”

“There’s no way I would know! Ask that acquaintance of yours. Why are you asking me?”

“Well, it’s just… I thought you might like that shop, Princess Jenna.”

When I said that, I heard Lady Anastasia snicker behind me.

“What are you talking about? There’s no way someone as beautifully icy as Lady Jenna would be interested in such dresses. Slender, mermaid-line dresses with simple elegance are what suit Lady Jenna. Primrose dresses would never suit her.”

Lady Anastasia hid her mouth behind her fan, laughing amusedly. The maid accompanying her, who had glared at Camilla and the others for their earlier whispered complaints, said nothing to Lady Anastasia.

Prince Lucas glared at Lady Anastasia and said in a displeased voice, “Can’t you just watch quietly?” Lady Anastasia put on an innocent face.
