Chapter 12: In the Fitting Room (3)

Eileen had been acting differently ever since she entered the women’s clothing store.

She seemed restless and kept glancing at me.

‘Why is she acting like this? Even I think I’ve been exemplary today, enough to satisfy Eileen.’

I gave the coachman, Hans, some free time and formally apologized for the rudeness I had shown to Otto and his son.

And I dressed in neat clothes that fit my physique and even tidied up my appearance.

The current me, Julian von Reinhardt.

Just by looking at my appearance, it was hard to believe that I was a scoundrel. I was full of handsomeness.

Moreover, I, who had changed 180 degrees, even rented out the entire women’s clothing store for Eileen.

I was in the middle of choosing a present just for her… when I suddenly heard Eileen humming awkwardly.

“Hmm… Hmm…”

It was something the usual Eileen would never do. Especially her current excited appearance.

I looked at Eileen, who was holding one of the dresses from the store.

“Do you like that dress that much?”

It was completely different from the noble lady style dresses that hid most of the lower body with their wide skirts.

A black dress with no lace, clinging tightly to the entire body. And a revealing side slit that exposed the lower body line.

It didn’t look like a European-style dress. Rather, it was more like a revealing evening dress worn by an actress at a film festival, aiming to make headlines.

Surprisingly, Eileen was making strange humming noises as she held the dress against her body.

“Hmm~ Hmm~.”

Her expression was also strange. Unlike her usual expressionless face, she seemed to be constantly glancing at me.

She would needlessly hold the dress out towards me.

It was as if she was flirting, which didn’t suit her at all.

In other words, it was clumsy seduction. I heard her humming again, as if she was conscious of me.

“Hmm… Hmm~ Hmm…”
“Do you like that dress that much?”
“H… How is it… Young Master? Do you like it? I chose it because it looked decent.”
“It’s a present for you, so you should be the one who likes it. Why are you asking me?”
“I… Is that so?”

Suddenly, Eileen’s expression became even more serious.

Wait. Come to think of it, I saw on the internet that you should always compliment a woman when she’s choosing clothes. I hurriedly made an excuse.

“No. Now that I look at it again, it suits you well. It’s a different feeling from usual, but it suits you in its own way.”
“Really? Then… Would it be enough to make you, Young Master, aroused right away… No, would it satisfy your sight… and other senses?”

I didn’t understand the intention of her question, but I nodded.

“It’s not bad.”
“Then that’s a relief, Young Master. Do you feel very angry, or do you feel like the things around you are bothering you?”
“Of course not. I’m perfectly fine. So, have you finished choosing your clothes now?”

We had chosen about five dresses. Dresses that could be worn for outings even within Pantheon, and dresses that could be worn at parties.

The last revealing dress that Eileen chose wasn’t something I had considered, but it was still within my budget.

‘Julian has his own earldom. It seems that his representative is managing the territory quite well, so he seems to have a considerable amount of personal wealth.’

Moreover, compared to the extravagance Julian had indulged in in Demon Survival, this was nothing. There had even been times when his earldom’s budget went bankrupt because of his extravagance, leading to a bad ending.

As long as I wasn’t using the Margrave’s wealth, it wasn’t a problem. Julian was a super rich kid.

“Then let’s have you try them on. Seeing them with your eyes and having you actually wear them will be different.”

At that moment, the owner, who had confirmed that we had finished choosing our clothes, approached us.

“It will be difficult for this lovely maid to change clothes by herself. Shall I assign one of our staff members to assist her?”

Eileen was startled and refused.

“The Young Master hates it when unauthorized people enter his personal space. I can manage on my own.”
“But it will be difficult for you to change into a dress by yourself.”

I answered instead of the owner.

“I’ll help her. I’m familiar with women’s dresses.”

It wasn’t a lie. Because of the ‘Artist with an Eye for Beauty’ trait, I could instantly grasp the structure of even a noble lady’s dress, which was completely unrelated to me.

‘And Eileen is a perfect maid. Even if I just assist her a little, she’ll have no problem changing clothes by herself.’

Then the owner said in a playful voice,

“Oh my. As expected of the Count, who is famous even in the Imperial Capital’s social circles, you’re familiar with women’s dresses.”
“That’s right.”
“Then I’ll guide you two to the fitting room over there.”

Before heading there, I briefly thought about the remaining member of our group. It would take some time for a woman to change clothes.

That meant Uriel would have to wait at the clothing store. Unlike Hans, the coachman, she couldn’t leave my side as an escort knight.

“Owner. Does this place have any tea or snacks to enjoy?”
“Tea, you say? We have cheap ones for our staff to drink, but… We usually have them brought in from a famous cafe nearby, depending on the customer’s preferences.”
“Then I’ll treat Dame Uriel, who is waiting over there, to the best tea from a cafe nearby, along with some snacks. I’ll cover all the expenses.”

A look of surprise appeared on the owner’s face.

“A high-ranking noble like the Count is personally offering to treat someone to tea… You must really cherish your escort knight.”
“Waiting can be boring, so she should have some enjoyment. Please do as I ask.”

The owner’s words weren’t wrong, but to be honest, I was secretly looking forward to something due to the influence of my hidden self.

‘You never know what might happen. It would be troublesome if Uriel lingered near the fitting room. Uriel has a bit of a prickly personality.’

The owner and the clerk personally carried the chosen clothes into the fitting room. Then they hurriedly left.

“Then please enjoy your time leisurely.”

As expected of an expensive store, the owner was very perceptive.

<hr />

“Hmm. Not bad. This dress suits you well too.”
“Is that so, Young Master?”

The dresses I chose using the Eye for Beauty trait all suited Eileen well.

A luxurious pure white dress suitable for the current winter season.

Dresses in light green and yellow tones, preparing for the upcoming spring semester.

Even the simple dresses for outings that Eileen would like all suited her well.

‘Even though Eileen’s attractive lower body isn’t revealed at all… As expected, clothes make the man.’

She had a doll-like, fair, and delicate face.

Eileen exuded a different charm with each different dress she wore.

That charm satisfied me to the point where it reached the limits of the ‘Artist with an Eye for Beauty’ trait.

“There’s a saying that clothes make the man, but even with wings, some people still fall. These clothes suit you better than the empty-headed noble ladies of the Imperial Capital, Eileen. It’s rewarding as the one giving the gift.”
“You flatter me, Young Master. Perhaps it’s because the clothes from this store are good, rather than me. I also think the clothes are nice. Thank you.”

It was hard to tell whether Eileen, with her expressionless face, was happy or not with my words. But seeing a slight blush on her cheeks, it seemed she didn’t dislike it.

Well, even without using the trait, Eileen looked beautiful in the dresses. They suited her well.

‘Wait. But why is she… Calm down. Get a hold of yourself.’

Even though Eileen was wearing clothes that didn’t reveal anything, blood rushed to my lower body reflexively.

It was probably because I was alone with Eileen in the enclosed space of the fitting room.

And every time she changed dresses, I assisted her from the side. That meant I could catch glimpses of Eileen’s half-naked body in between.

Just as I had seen in the carriage, her upper body was bare, without a chemise or a bra.

And her lower body was a heavenly combination of panties, white band stockings, and a garter belt that were a feast for the eyes.

Eileen showed me her appearance without any intention of hiding it. That’s why my lower body kept alternating between being excited and calming down.

‘But Eileen calmed down as soon as she entered the fitting room. That’s strange.’

Eileen had been so anxious and acting strangely outside the fitting room. But as soon as she entered, she even let out a sigh of relief, which was unlike her.

Perhaps she was the type who felt uncomfortable shopping when there were other people around.

‘It was a good idea to rent out the entire store. I wonder if her Favorability has increased a little.’

As befitting a high-class clothing store, there wasn’t just one fitting room, but several. From a wide space that resembled a broadcasting station’s waiting room to a narrow space where only two people could barely fit.

The fitting room Eileen chose was slightly larger than the smallest one.

It was a space where I had enough room to help her change dresses and observe her. It was a space suitable for about four people.

However, noble dresses took up quite a bit of space. After placing all the clothes on one side, only enough space remained for two people to use in the fitting room.

“Then Young Master, if you don’t mind, I’ll ask for your help…”
“Alright, Eileen.”

Eileen was currently wearing a blue dress that gave off a refreshing noble lady vibe.

I went behind Eileen.

‘Even though I try not to be conscious of it, it’s strangely arousing.’

The enclosed, narrow space of the fitting room. Only Eileen and I were here. Come to think of it, whenever I did something with Eileen, she was always the one who took off her clothes first.

So, it felt a bit disappointing that this was the last dress.

‘That strange dress Eileen chose. It’s not really appropriate to have her try it on here, is it?’

If it were other noble lady style dresses, it would be fine, but I didn’t think Eileen would openly change into such a revealing dress right in front of me.

And I couldn’t bring myself to ask her to wear it.

So, I decided to enjoy the feeling of taking off this last dress as much as possible.

“Noble ladies’ dresses are quite structurally complex, aren’t they?”
“Yes, they are. If it’s too much trouble to help me, I can call a clerk…”
“No, it’s fine. This is also a form of entertainment to enhance my aesthetic sense.”

Using the excuse of helping Eileen, I subtly moved closer behind her. The closer I got, the stronger Eileen’s scent became.

It had only been a few hours since we had our sticky encounter in the carriage, but Eileen’s body was filled with a fragrant scent, as if she had just taken a shower.

And as I untied the back laces of the dress one by one, Eileen’s back was gradually revealed.

When all the supporting laces were untied, Eileen’s fair skin was revealed through the loosened top.

There was still some fuzz around her white nape. And her pure white, clean back, with the curves that ran down to her waist, fully revealed her feminine beauty.

As expected, even Eileen’s back was close to perfection.

Unconsciously, I touched Eileen’s back with my fingertips. And I traced the elegant curves of her back with my fingers.

“Ugh!”

Suddenly, Eileen let out a moan loud enough to echo through the fitting room. I thought only her breasts were sensitive.

Unexpectedly, her back might also be an erogenous zone.

“Oh my. I unconsciously raised my hand. I’m sorry, Eileen.”
“It’s alright, Young Master. Your fingers just touched me while you were helping me…”
“That’s right. Finish changing your clothes.”

Although there was still the revealing evening dress Eileen had chosen, I didn’t think Eileen, who seemed to have come to her senses, would wear it.

When I completely took off the blue dress, Eileen’s half-naked body was revealed again. Since she wasn’t wearing a chemise or a bra, her breasts were completely exposed.

However, since Eileen had her back to me, I couldn’t see her breasts. Or so I thought…

Sensibly, one side of the fitting room’s wall was neatly finished with a wide, clean mirror.

I looked at Eileen’s beautiful breasts, which resembled firm peaches, reflected in the mirror.

‘This is even more arousing in its own way.’

It wasn’t like seeing them directly. Rather, it felt like I was secretly peeking from behind, which greatly stimulated my hidden sense of transgression. I could feel my penis twitching from the stimulation.

“Then I’ll bring you your maid uniform.”

However, I felt it was rude to stare at the mirror so blatantly. Just as I was about to take a step to bring Eileen’s maid uniform, which was placed on one side of the fitting room,

Eileen hurriedly grabbed my wrist.

“Wait a moment, Young Master. There’s still a dress I haven’t tried on yet.”
“Hmm? Didn’t you try on all the dresses we brought?”
“Isn’t there… the dress I chose myself?”

I looked at the black evening dress Eileen was pointing at. Unlike the other dresses, it seemed to have a much smaller surface area and volume.

Eileen brought the dress herself and hurriedly started to put it on.

“Young Master… Could you… tie the laces at the back?”
“Alright.”

I went behind her again and tied the laces of the dress.

“It’s not an outing style, but it’s quite daring. It’s not the kind of style that noble ladies in the Imperial Capital would wear, but this dress suits you well, Eileen…”

And just as I was about to evaluate Eileen’s appearance in the dress using the Eye for Beauty trait,

Eileen’s palm suddenly touched the middle of my lower body. And she said in a moist voice,

“Do you… Do you need… service, Young Master?”
