Rosemarie clicked her tongue as she tugged at the measuring tape, circling it around my waist. "Oh, would you look at this?" Her eyes lit up, looking at the measure and at me. "A figure like yours is a tailor's dream! Not too thin, not too broad, and those curves... Oh, Moon Goddess! You'll make even silk jealous," she said while her assistant was writing the measurements. She spread her hands as if something had made her feel delighted. "I swear, when you step into Lord Lucretius' birthday ball, half the women will cry, and the other half will faint!"

I scratched the back of my head, heat climbing my neck. "You exaggerate..."

I couldn't believe that I was having a conversation with someone who was considered the most prominent seamstress in the capital. Only those respected nobles and royals could be able to set an appointment with her, given how she made the clothing so artistic according to her client's taste.

"Exaggerate? Ha! I am telling you the truth, darling. You've got the ki

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 25: His Territory

    And just like that, Lucretius dragged me to the nearest divine temple the very next day... and we got married. I still couldn't wrap my head around it. One moment, Lucretius planned to introduce me as his fiancée at his birthday party and had an engagement party a few days later, and now... There was a change of plans.I was now Euphyllia Ivara Ruinart-Franciosa, wife of Lucretius Xior Franciosa.My fingers still tingled from where Lucretius had slid the wedding band onto my left hand. My eyes even settled on the ring itself, which had a heavy presence of history and expectation. This ring wasn't just any bad. It was a family heirloom of the House of Franciosa that only the true Luna of the Golden Eclipse Pack was ever permitted to wear.The metal itself was forged of pure white gold, and its surface was etched with intricate eclipse patterns, that was matched on my ivory porcelain skin. At its center, there was a deep amber gemstone, looking rare and luminous, that looked like the

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 24: Only Look At Me

    When we were finally out of the crowds, Lucretius slowed his pace. "I told you to only look at me," he said, his eyes on the front."I'm sorry?" I asked, puzzled by his words.But he didn't reply to me and just focused his attention as we were on our way to his private quarters. He hastened his pace, making my eyes widen as I tried to match it while still wondering what he said.We were already halfway to the entrance of the establishment when words echoed through my mind.'Look at me. Only me.'Chills ran down my spine as my eyes locked onto Lucretius' back, watching him continue inside without turning to look at me. I even slowed my pace as the words he had written in the note before rang in my head again.'Look at me. Only me.'Was that... what he meant?Was it because he caught me looking at Redmund's way earlier?So, he was glaring at me, after all... It wasn't just a pigment of my imagination!I tried to catch up to him when he went inside his quarters. I thought that he would l

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 23: Small Celebration

    The next day, Lucretius was already fine as if the fever hadn't affected him the day before. His expression was unreadable, his royal military uniform was crisp, exuding the frightening authority of a commander as he had always been.I almost questioned if I was imagining him shivering, how he was being stubborn to take his medicine and eat the food, and how he caressed my waist as he fell asleep on me. But seeing how he was dependent on me despite being tenacious, I knew that it was real.Since Lucretius was absent yesterday, he got piled up with workloads while attending some strategic meetings to know the situation in the Auritaurie. Marlin was present, too, to provide the updates we received from our intel.Since I wasn't allowed to be there, all I could do was to inspect the troops along with Leofrick. While he had summoned a few doctors to check the vitals of the squadrons, it didn't escape me that I was able to meet Lilith in the female's tent.But all I did was ignore her and

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 22: Ridiculous Excuses

    "You are impossible," I muttered, but there was no heat in the insult. But I tried to sound like he was insane.How would you feel when someone scolded you for being stubborn? How was it so interesting?I wanted to say that, but he must be saying it because he was having hallucinations while being sick.Lucretius hummed, a small, pleased sound that would have been arrogant from anyone else but here felt oddly domestic. "Good. Then keep scolding me," he said. "Tell me I am a fool, that I should rest, that the world will not fall if I sleep. I find it... comforting."I couldn't help raising my head, looking at him in disbelief, but his eyes were still closed. I was rendered speechless before I huffed a chuckle and declared, "Just go to sleep, stubborn commander."He meekly chortled at me before he went silent. A few minutes later, I heard his steady breathing in my ear and his soft snore.When I looked up, I saw Lucretius had already fallen asleep. I pursed my lips into a thin line to s

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 21: Sick Commander

    Days had passed by, and it felt like a blur.Just when I thought things would be peaceful now in the camp, news traveled fast that Redmund and Lilith were now officially engaged. They were celebrating it in the troops' dining hall, and many of their colleagues were congratulating them while I was at a distance, watching them being happy together."I cannot believe there will be another engagement party happening soon!" It was Cerys, clasping her hands together as she looked in their way. We were dining together along with my former colleagues as I promised to them that I would visit them every Friday. "Oh, to be romantically in love with someone... I envy them, Ms. Euphyllia. I want to meet my mate..." She fluttered her eyelids at me.I almost smiled bitterly at her statement. Even though I had braced myself for it since I saw Lilith on that day that she was wearing a ring, the confirmation still carved a hollow ache in my chest.I told myself that I shouldn't care. I told myself that

  • My Mate Chose My Best Friend, So His Uncle Claimed Me   Chapter 20: Had Gone Bolder

    "Investigation, you say?" Lucretius's eyes gleamed as if my request had stirred curiosity within him. His thumb traced slow circles along my waist, feeling ticklish from his touch as silence enveloped us.My senses heightened every time he would do that to me. I felt something sparkling that coursed through my body, and it was hard to lie that it didn't affect me."Into what, my little soldier?" His lips curled in a half-smile, but his gaze cut straight through me. "Or perhaps..." His voice lowered, his expression slightly darkened. "...into who?"My throat tightened. Why did it feel like that last question made him look unhappy? Or was it just my imagination?"I need you to gather some information about the deceased people whose name is Euphyllia or Elixane."Mentioning my name felt like they were strictly forbidden. For the first time since I had known him, Lucretius's expression shifted, not from mockery, indulgence, but something different.Disbelief? Hilarious?"That's... rather
