Chapter 2

As rumored, the Duke was a very handsome man. The perfect proportions of the figures in the statues and paintings created by genius artists handed down from classical times were nothing compared to the lively beauty of the Duke of Bronant.

In the Rasue Kingdom, people with bright blonde hair and blue eyes were often regarded as beautiful. However, the duke had jet-black hair and dark eyes whose depth was unknown.

Hear the fact that a person with dark hair and dark eyes can have such an eye-catching charm.

Helena realized this for the first time today. What’s more, this face wasn’t the only thing that was beautiful.

The duke was tall and had broad shoulders and a muscular body that looked strong at first glance. The overall body was well-balanced, so it felt dignified and agile. There was no glimpse of the pale, nervous glaze common to noble men.

Maybe it was because of his dark hair, but he looked somewhat stoic and had a sense of intimidation that overwhelms those around him. So, even if  he was wearing quite colorful clothes, he looked calm and dignified.

‘That dress…”

And Helena blurted out. The clothes the duke was wearing were made by her father.

She quickly found out that until now, there were countless gorgeous and stylish clothes that passed through her father’s hands. However, no one has ever made a dress look so perfect as the Duke of Bronant.

Helena then realized why her father was always happy to make Duke Bronant’s clothes.

“I’m sorry to keep you waiting.”

Helena quickly bowed her head to the duke, who was slightly bowing down. She was mesmerized for a moment by the duke’s appearance and realized later that she had been staring at him so rudely.

The duke sat down on the sofa and motioned for Helena to sit down as well. Ordinary hand gestures look so elegant.

It was amazing how it could be like that.

As the duke sat cross-legged, Helena also straightened her back a little more and leaned her back against the backrest.

‘This is not the right time.’

Helena tried to stay calm. Now was not the time to be mesmerized by the duke’s appearance. She came here with a great mission. It was also a matter of the fate of herself and her family at stake.

No matter what happened today, she had to get a new order from the Duke. That alone could save the family from bankruptcy.

“Okay, how’s Raynor Stud? He’s seriously injured. I’ve heard of it.”

“Wow, thanks to your concern, Master’s condition has improved a lot. However, the swelling in the arm has not gone away yet and the fever has not gone down completely, so the doctor is still watching. The Master apologized for not being able to visit the Duke in person today and asked for forgiveness.”

Helena was nervous and stuttered.

She was a bit surprised because she did not expect that the Duke would treat her with such courtesy to him, who was nothing more than a tailor. The other party was a duke, so I thought he would treat him like a duke, but unexpectedly, the duke was very polite.

Duke Bronant looked straight at Helena. Actually he went into the living room earlier. From the moment he arrived, he had been watching him. It was because he was too conspicuous.
