Madam’s hands were shaking as she was measuring.
It was a natural reaction, but it was still bitter.
These are scars carved all over my body at a time when I was still not good at cutting.
It’s not just knife marks.
Even from Elric’s perspective, the scars on his entire body were quite horrific, as there were several places where his skin had shriveled and lost its original form due to burns and gunshot wounds.
There was a thought that naturally came to mind.
‘I can’t show this to my wife.’
And the moment Elric remembered her surprised face, he was shocked.
A laugh came out.
‘What on earth are you thinking…? .’
Is there really anything to show in the first place?
It seemed like he was lost in vulgar thoughts for no reason, so Elric was able to quickly shake off his thoughts.
“It’s done, it’s done!”
Madam smiled and finished writing the measurements.
After all, a professional is a professional.
Elric smiled and put on his shirt.
“Thank you. “What else should I do now?”
“Let’s go see the fabric and design! After all, when it comes to clothes, isn’t the taste of the person who wears it the most important thing?”
“That too. “Let’s go now.”
When I left the studio, Tyria was sitting on the sofa and looking at a catalog.
When I pretended to be friendly, she raised her head.
“Are you finished?”
“exactly. Now let’s look at the fabric and design.”
“Yes, I was looking into it in advance.”
Without a shirt?
The words almost came out, but eventually Elric remembered the past events and agreed.
Elric’s tailcoat is entirely determined by Tyria’s choice.
Elric smiled awkwardly and responded to Madame’s glance.
“… Your wife has a much better eye for clothes. “I guess I can talk to them over there.”
“Oh my, you are such a pathetic woman!”
match!
They clapped their hands and immediately agreed, so I was just grateful.
Tyria’s expression wavered for a moment, but it was too short a time for Elric to confirm her true intentions.
“So, ma’am, which one did you like?”
“… “Start from here.”
Tyria and Madame quickly fell into conversation.
Mostly, when Tyria chose the fabric, Madame would add comments about which fabric went well with which color and what type of suit suited her size and frame, but for Elric, it was just a headache-inducing conversation.
So we tried to kill time by grabbing the refreshments on the tea table and gulping down black tea, but there was no sign of the conversation ending.
How long are you going to be like that?
It was a moment when boredom appeared in Elric.
Jing-
The door of the dressmaker opened.
The new guest, Madame, raised her head and tried to greet him with a bright face.
“welcome… .”
It hardened.
It wasn’t just Madame.
Tyria also narrowed her eyebrows slightly.
If you’re a person who doesn’t show any discomfort, who do you see that makes you do that?
Elric looked at the entrance with curiosity.

“… “Oh my, isn’t this Lady Wibin?”
A sloppy-looking young man with blond hair was there.
He was a man with a crooked chin, as if he had been hit with a fist, and the luxurious clothes he was wearing seemed to come from a fairly powerful family.
“Madam, do you know someone?”
As he asked, the man’s eyes turned to Elric.
Elric could sense a slight hostility within it.
One of them soon disappeared.
“Oh, Baron Portman? You heard about me… .”
His eyes glanced at Elric once, then turned to the staff held in his hand.
A crooked smile appeared, like a crooked jaw.
“… “Well, it looks like something went wrong during your wanderings?”
Elric was not stupid.
No, to be precise, he was a person who had a quicker sense of the emotions he experienced than anyone else.
‘It’s a fight.’
Hostility, wariness, and feelings of superiority and relief.
They were messy and intertwined, creating a sarcastic tone of voice.
The downcast look is quite dull.
There was also a glimpse of irritation.
‘What is this…? .’
Seeing him make such a face at the first meeting made me feel dumbfounded rather than offended.
Should I even be angry?
No, the other person was too insignificant for that to happen.
‘One hit of chestnuts could make your head explode.’
Since he’s a noble, I can understand why he didn’t do the hard mana training, but I still think he lacks exercise.
When I glanced at it, the muscle mass was miserable. Her outward physique appeared to be fit, but she had too much fat in her internal organs and her body’s metabolism was faltering.
‘Dietary problem? No, he is a person with bad lifestyle habits.’
It’s a total mess.
Among the dogs, what stands out most is the traces of sexually transmitted diseases.
He seems to be a person whose sex life is quite promiscuous.
It was obvious that if I left it like that, I would die young.
“… “Matriarch, this person is Aman Nimrud Yeongsik, the successor to the Nimrud family.”
Tyria came forward and introduced him.
Elric let out an exclamation, “Ah.”
It was because I remembered hearing that name before coming here.
-You must meet Count Nimrud at this banquet. You must have researched his tastes, right?
To be exact, it was his last name, Yeongsik, and I could hear a nobleman trying to make amends with his father on the street just before him.
As expected, it seemed to be a powerful family.
It is understandable that you have a high arrogance. Since he didn’t need to pretend, Elric stood up with his staff and greeted him properly.
“Portman’s Elric. There is no need to call me Baron. “Because the succession process was not completed.”
He smiled politely and offered to shake his hand, but the response he received was sour.
Before he knew it, his eyes were focused on Tyria.
that is,
“You have become even more beautiful.”
Something stirred up discomfort in Elric.
“… “That’s too much praise.”
“How have you been so far? I was very worried because the last news was that the Baron had returned. I’ve been away from home for 10 years and now I’m back… “Oops, I’m sorry.”
He smiled bitterly and looked at Elric.
Elric thought for a moment.
‘Should I kill him?’
No, let’s calm down. That won’t work.
This is Eastern Ferdin, not the West, and this person is the heir to a count family that still seems powerful.
If you let go of a task due to personal feelings, wouldn’t it be a bit of a hassle to look after it?
Moreover, there was no Elbus Graham to take care of things here.
Elric felt like he was desperate for his presence once again, but he couldn’t expect help from a place like this, so Elric laughed.
“I’m fine…” .”
“But how can you go to a dressmaker’s shop? Oh, are you trying to fit the Baron’s tailcoat?”
“… yes.”
“Hmm, I guess our relationship isn’t that bad.”
Elric’s smile quickly faded.
The gaze of the man named Nimrud was irritating.
To be precise, the look in Tyria’s eyes was so disgusting that I wanted to punch her.
Besides that, every time he called Tyria a lady, I felt like punching him in the face.
Elric was surprised at himself for coming up with such a thought.
I haven’t thought about this even once since I was 20, so how could I be so angry?
There was a feeling bubbling up inside me.
The destination of my emotions was clear.
Elric hated it when the author loitered around Tyria.
“Youngsik, if you don’t mind being rude, can I take care of business with the head of the family first?”
“hmm?”
“I was choosing fabric.”
Even though Tyria openly expressed her discomfort, Aman Nimrud did not move a muscle.
Elric’s hand holding the staff gained strength.
But what kind of harmony is this?
“If that’s the case, I can help you.”
Aman Nimrud said this with a grin.
“Isn’t a man supposed to know what to wear? I wanted to make friends with the Baron. “I will help the Baron myself.”
Elric laughed as the arrow returned to him.
Aman Nimrud took money out of his wallet and handed it to Madam.
“Look, Madam, please go to a nearby dessert cafe for a while. “I would like to have a long talk with my Baron.”
What is my reason for wanting to be alone?
No, there is no need to worry. The intention is quite clear.
“Well, that…” .”
Madame looked at Elric.
Elric thought for a moment, then nodded.
As always, the hotter my heart got, the colder my head became.
“It’s my good fortune. “I was a bit worried about what to do at the banquet because I didn’t have anything to do with the nobles of the capital.”
A glimpse of worry appeared on Tyria’s face.
Ah, I felt a little more at peace.
‘Are you crazy?’
In fact, even though his expression isn’t that much different from usual, it feels like he’s worried, and since he feels better and his anger subsides, if you just look at him, it seems like he’s going crazy.
“Madam, please come back for a moment.”
“house owner… .”
“It’s okay.”
Elric grinned.
Tyria pursed her lips, but then sighed and walked out the door with Madame.
It was the moment when Aman Nimrud and I were alone in the dressmaker’s shop.
Elric smiled brightly and looked at Aman Nimrud.
‘You have to smile.’
Wasn’t there such a teaching?
It is said that a smile brings calmness.
If you want to get rid of this ruthless man with all his limbs intact, you must have composure… .
“Young lady, it’s still the same… .”
“baroness.”
… The composure is a mess.
Elric intercepted Aman Nimrud’s words and took a step closer to him.
There was a height difference of about a head between the two.
Aman Nimrud hesitated and took a step back.
Elric looked down at him and spoke once again.
“Baroness. Baroness Portman.”
Embarrassment and shame began to spread across Aman Nimrud’s face.
Of course, it was none of Elric’s business.
The feeling of blood rushing to my head was so strange that it was difficult to even think about calming him down.
“Look. Yeongsik.”
So close.
If this were the West, they would have ripped off his limbs and thrown them in front of his parents.
But it was okay.
As always, there is a way.
“A married lady is called wife. Tyria Portman is my wife.”
Aman Nimrud’s appearance became quite grim.
Elric felt quite happy.
What comes to mind is a story about a nobleman’s physiology that I once heard from Elbus Graham.
-Nobility lives for a cause and dies for a cause. So, in noble disputes, even if you try to kill the other person first, they tend to agree if the justification is sufficient. To put it in a noble way, yes, but to put it a little bluntly… .
-What if I tell you?
-… This means that when you want to fight, you use a method of gently scratching the opponent and making him explode. Nobles are a more petty race than you might think.
Elric desperately hoped.
“Since I am the one who will receive the title of Baronet, it is correct to call your wife Baroness. “It seems like there is a lack of education in that area.”
Please bark a little more.
Let me make up some good excuses.
