The Reincarnated Villainous Noble Still Won't Try His Best! - Chapter 11 : Childhood Friend

Chapter 11 : Childhood Friend

The date with Lilia began.

First, we headed to the classic date spot — a clothing store.

Just a short walk down the street lined with stalls and we found ourselves looking at a shop displaying various garments.

We soon approached one of them.

“Are these the clothes that are popular around here? They’re surprisingly plain.”

“That’s just because noble clothes are unnecessarily flashy. Normally, this is what you’d expect.”

Even though I said that, I agreed with her inwardly. 

While Lilia was probably comparing them to the clothes she was wearing, I had a different perspective. 

I was comparing them to my memories from past life and they all seemed uncomfortable and dull.

“Marius-sama, are you knowledgeable about commoner attire as well?”

“Not at all. It’s just a guess… In reality, they’re all quite cheap.”

“Indeed…”

We both looked at the prices on the tags. 

They were less than a fraction of what our clothes cost. The materials seemed quite basic

“Do you think there would be anything that interests you? The Royal Family can even buy this whole store if you want it.”

“I rarely have the occasion to wear clothes like these… It’s a bit rude to commoners, but…”

She said this with an awkward smile.

“That’s true. It would be a problem if royalty wore cheap, plain clothes.”

It was kinda funny to imagine it. 

It would be like the Prime Minister showing up to a press conference in just a plain white shirt.

“Well, even royalty might want clothes chosen by someone they love.”

She glanced at me expectantly.

“Could it be that I am being… asked for something?”

“I’m not asking for anything! It was just an honest thought!”

“It’s the same thing…”

What’s the difference?

“Well, if it’s Lilia’s wish, I’d like to grant it… But I won’t just pick anything here. At least let’s go somewhere that sells clothes that we could wear while incognito. Then, maybe I’ll choose one outfit…”

“Let’s go right away! Mira, is there a store nearby that sells high-quality clothes?”

“There is one about twenty minutes away on foot.”

“Understood. Show us the way to the store. Now, shall we head over there, Marius-sama.”

Before I could finish, Lilia had already decided our next destination.

“Aren’t you being a bit hasty?”

Just so you know, I’m only choosing one outfit.

“Not at all. There’s a saying in the eastern country, ‘Good things come to those who are hasty’.”

Eastern country? 

Is that a fantasy version of Japan? 

I’d like to visit there, if it was true.

“I’m amazed that you know a lot of proverbs from other countries.”

“Oh? Do you know them as well, Marius-sama?”

“Just a bit.”

I heard them often in my past life.

“You’re very knowledgeable, Marius-sama. I only learned about them recently.”

“No, it’s not like that. It was just a coincidence.”

“Fufu~, it was just a coincidence huh.:

“Let’s go quickly. You’re interested in the clothes, right?”

“Yes. I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of clothes you’ll choose for me, Marius-sama.”

She was very excited. Her eyes were sparkling like stars.

“Don’t get your hopes up too much… Men’s tastes are not something you can generally rely on.”

“Even so, girls can’t help but have high hopes.”

“Girls, huh?”

Where’s this girl she’s talking about? All the women I know are more like predators.

“…Did you say something, Marius-sama?”

I quickly averted my gaze as she glared at me.

“It’s just your imagination. Let’s go quickly.”

Driven by the excitement, I turned on my heels. 

Despite feeling her cold gaze piercing me, I ignored and continued walking.

Just at that moment…

“Lilia?”

A woman’s voice came from behind us. 

Lilia and I turned around and we saw a girl with beautiful blue hair.

“Cecilia, is that you?”

The moment I saw her, my heart started pounding crazy.

“Yes. What are you doing here, Princess?”

“I was on a date with this lovely gentleman.”

Saying that, Lilia pulled my arm closer. 

I didn’t want to stand out, but now she was making it really obvious…

“A date? Now that you mention it, Father did say something about Her Highness having a fiancé…”

Suddenly… The cloak fluttered in the wind, revealing my face and our eyes met.

“Ugh.”

When she clearly saw my face, her expression twisted noticeably. 

I wanted to say the same thing.

“Marius of the Greylord family! What are you doing with Lilia?”

“As expected of a fellow duke’s house. You are already acquainted with each other.”

“I’m not sure if we are close enough to be called acquaintances… but I think we’ve met each other at a party.”

“Yes, I know you very well. The spoiled son of the Greylord family… Answer me! Why are you with Lilia? Don’t tell me…”

The blue-haired girl pointed her finger at my face. 

After shouting, her body suddenly trembled.

It was not me, but Lilia, who answered her question with a goddess-like smile.

“You mentioned it yourself a moment ago. We are engaged and my fiancé is none other than Marius-sama.”

She casually dropped a bombshell.
