How to Get My Husband on My Side

—

“I know Lady Furiana is an old friend. I don’t want you to worry about it, either.”

“…Everyone was shocked when Ruby suddenly collapsed.”

“I’m sorry to have troubled you. I didn’t know that would happen…”

“It’s our fault.”

Her sharp tone was the same as Izek’s. You could tell they were siblings, after all.

I smiled awkwardly and slid the spoon down again.

There was a moment of silence.

“I’ve never seen him that upset before.”

“I’m…”

“It’s not your fault he got upset. Anyway, I’m glad you recovered faster than I expected. If you’re feeling well, why don’t you join us this weekend afternoon for a horseback riding meeting?”

The meeting that Ellenia and Freya had every summer for a long time?

Of course, I had to go. It was a good opportunity to build an image in this society.

“Thank you for asking. Of course, I’ll come.”

Horseback riding meeting.

It wasn’t really about riding horses, but more of an outdoor party where young nobles gathered under the pretext of horseback riding to build friendships, gather information and search for partners. You could call it a social club.

As it is a club led by Duke Omerta and Marquis Furiana’s daughters, only important northern family members could visit. I had left a pretty insignificant first impression at the last court banquet, so I had to push forward to make a better one.

I had to use all the opportunities as much as I could for half a year or so.

The clothes I ordered from the tailor were yet to arrive, so I chose the simplest-looking dress I had brought from home.

A sky blue dress with ruffled sleeves cut off from the elbow, hair tied up in a long braid with blue ribbons.

“Are you sure you want to keep it this way, ma’am?”

The hard-faced maid who was combing my hair glanced at the dresser drawer I had left open.

I left it open on purpose. The hair ornaments I brought from Romagna were spectacular enough to make her eyes pop.

They were all given by Cesare, so it didn’t matter if it was fancy or not.

“Hmm, why? What do you think would be better?”

“……I don’t think it’s a good idea for me to give an opinion.”

“Then, what about you? While we’re at it, let’s pick one for you.”

The hands threading the ribbon stopped. Silence stayed for a moment.

Doubt slowly spread over the maid’s face, who was looking at me with a little surprise.

Yes, it was only natural. Either way, I grinned at the mirror.
