The Blond Male Lead is Too Much - Chapter 57



Only Ran(o)vel dot com

The first costume shop that came to mind was the one Deborah had introduced me to the other day.

Her regular costume shop and the shop where I had my dress tailored for the Duke of Calciard’s party.

There was nothing wrong with cousins ​​going to the same costume shop, but there was a problem.

“I’m sorry, Miss. We are operating on a small membership basis starting from the Marquis level and above.”

The costume shop owner bowed politely to me and apologized.

Last time, I only accepted it once at Deborah’s request.

This was a high-end clothing store that I could never become a regular at.

‘Of course, if we put forward the Diat Duke, we might be able to sneak in somehow… … .’

There was no way that smooth gossip gathering was possible in a place where one had to force oneself into something like that.

Usually, you hear that kind of information through people you know, like the costume shop staff or the president.

Eventually, we gave up on Deborah’s dressing room and decided to take a tour based on the list of dressing rooms in the capital.

Find the place that’s right for you.

Of course, I wasn’t alone.

“Servant, are you ready?”

When I asked solemnly, Karl raised one eyebrow and asked back.

“What preparations?”

“Get ready to shop non-stop for hours.”

He took along a sword as his escort, porter, and dress-picking assistant.

The first place we headed to was a medium-sized costume shop in the capital.

Rather than intentionally going around the big places from the beginning, I started somewhere in the middle.

Because going from bottom to top is more fun than going from top to bottom.

“Welcome, customer. This is Okona Clothing Shop, where we serve you with sincerity. What is your name?”

“Hello, Shailene Sharope. Would you mind if I show you some clothes?”

“Oh, then. Come this way.”

The staff member guided me inside with a friendly smile.

He quickly prepared a catalog and refreshments and asked me to wait a moment while he called the designer.

“Carl, these cookies are delicious. Try them.”

“… … It’s too sweet.”

“That’s why it’s delicious.”

Carl frowned and sipped his tea.

I was leafing through the catalog while munching on a chocolate cookie.

Well, this ambiguity that is neither pretty nor not pretty.

If you have a hundred clothes, half of them are bad and half are okay.

I was just checking off a few things I liked.

“Have you heard from Charophé Youngae lately?”

I heard my name faintly through the slightly open door.

“Karl, did I hear that wrong?”

“If you mention the master’s name, I heard it too.”

I couldn’t help but be curious when even the servant agreed with me like this.

I got up from the sofa and went outside. The source of the voice was in the room right next to ours.

The door on that side was also loosely shut, so the noise from inside was leaking out.

“Are you talking about Charophé Youngae, who recently became the owner of the magic light?”

“That’s right. That young lady, well, she almost bankrupted her family!”

“Oh my, what happened?”

“He originally had a life of extravagance, so he got into debt here and there and spent his money recklessly. He said he left it up to the Count and his younger brother and stuck with the Duke of Diat.”

“Oh my god, this is too much!”

What the hell is this?

Even novels at this level are not fiction but delusional.

Unlike my rotting expression, the faces of the girls seen through the crack in the door were dying of interest.

‘That’s what the system window said.’

If such nonsense was going around behind my back, it would definitely be damaging my reputation.

If you’re not careful, you might end up damaging the Crown Prince’s favorability rating.

“No, I heard that you sent several letters to the spirits you met at Princess Calciad’s party.”

“His family was completely destroyed by debt, and he’s trying to escape alone with his wife―”

“Yes, no.”

I couldn’t stand it any longer and intervened.

The young ladies who had been chattering amongst themselves simultaneously turned their heads.

And when they saw me, their faces all turned pale.

Because I got caught gossiping.

“Sha, Charophe Youngae… … ?”

“Yes, hello. I am Shailene Charophé, the owner of Shasha Magic.”

“Ah, no, how did Yeong-ae… … .”

“I came here to buy clothes, too. But I heard my name and wanted to chat with you, so I came.”

He smiled brightly and sat next to Young-ae, who was closest to him.

Then her shoulders jerked up. Her eyes shook as if there had been an earthquake, and she couldn’t even look at me.

After looking at Young-ae like that, he cleared his throat and opened his mouth again.

“But there is something you misunderstand. I have never lived extravagantly in the county, nor have I ever taken on debt and left it on my family.”

“Ah… … . We, we just heard rumors… … .”

“Rather, I was always cursed at for being an eyesore, and I lived without even receiving proper support for food, let alone living expenses. If the Duke of Diat hadn’t accepted me, I would have even had an unwanted marriage with a nobleman as old as my grandfather.”

He confessed pitifully, showing off his acting talent that he didn’t even know he had.

Then, the eyes of the young ladies began to shake violently. Sympathetic looks toward me slowly leaked out.

“I, are you sure… … ?”

“Yes, it is the truth without a single lie. If you go near the Baekjak territory, everyone will testify to what I was like. Of course, I sent many letters because I dreamed of marrying a blond handsome man. But it was definitely not for money.”

He lowered his head, took out a handkerchief, and pretended to wipe away his tears that weren’t there.

Then, the young ladies who had been nodding to each other gathered around me and patted me on the back.

“We didn’t know that and misunderstood Young-ae. I’m truly sorry.”

“I won’t speak carelessly from now on. It must be so unfair.”

“Oh, thank you for understanding. If there’s anyone else who misunderstands like you, please convey my sincerity.”

“Okay, don’t worry and just trust us!”

The girls clenched their fists and made a promise, feeling sorry for insulting me with false information.

I shook hands with each of them, said hello, and left.

Phew, I guess I won’t have to curse for a while.

‘By the way, who is spreading such strange rumors?’

How can it be this different from the truth?

‘So that’s why I created a regular costume shop to collect gossip.’

Because people come to get clothes fitted in groups with friends or acquaintances and spend their spare time talking about things like that.

“Still, I guess it’s fortunate that I caught it right away in the first dressing room… … .”

But that was a big mistake.

Because I heard gossip about myself in the next dressing room, and the one after that, and the one after that.

Even the gossip magazines on one side of the costume shop had my story in them.

As Ms. A, who ran away in the middle of the night with debt.

What the f*ck.

“Master, why is your reputation like this?”

It was so bad that even Karl asked me this.

“Look what kind of son of a bitch is talking bad about me behind my back. If he gets caught, I won’t let him off easy, Juntz.”

He gritted his teeth and muttered.

The tone of the fake rumors was generally similar: I was very extravagant and vain.

So, he is a vicious person who shamelessly pretends not to care while causing trouble to everyone around him.

The problem is that this seems to have spread quite deeply into social circles than we might think.

Feeling a great sense of crisis, I changed my mind.

It soon became clear that the costume shop was the center of gossip.

‘Wouldn’t that also quickly spread another gossip?’

Of course, for that to happen, it had to be a popular place frequented by noble women, not a modestly sized costume shop.

I checked out the top five high-end costume shops in the capital.

Among them, I chose a store that is famous for being frequented by young people these days.

Cream Rose Costume Room.

It was a place that led the trend with its sophisticated and sensuous design and gained explosive support from the younger generation.

It was recently prospering enough to move to the center of a busy downtown area.

‘If we make a kite here, we can spread the word throughout society.’

I made a reservation at Cream Rose right away and visited the costume shop.

“Welcome to Cream Rose. My name is Lorna, and I am the owner of this place, Miss Shailene.”

A woman with short hair and gorgeous curls greeted me.

The bright red lips and the mole underneath them were impressive.

“You look even more beautiful in person. I guess poverty and wealth can’t be hidden.”

Lorna laughed, covering her mouth with her hand, her nails pointed.

Why does this woman smell like Arko? … .

“I’d like to have three or four dresses tailored to me. Is that okay?”

“Of course! I will specially guide you to the VIP room.”

She winked one eye awkwardly. Isn’t it too obvious to reveal my money?

I followed Rona, not in a bad mood, but a little trembling.

She sat me down in a large, ornate room and immediately called over a staff member to bring out a dress.
