"I guess it didn't sleep well because its sleeping place changed yesterday. Don't do that too much."

"A dog doesn't need a good place to sleep. They sleep well even on the street…" However, Killian quickly stopped talking when Julietta stared at him fiercely. "Okay, okay. By the way, what is in your hand?" asked Killian wonderfully, looking at a basket containing a piece of cloth.

"A new manager came in yesterday. Starting today, new people will be coming in and out for interviews, so I couldn't work in the workshop and brought them here to work on."

Killian frowned at Julietta, who carefully laid down Manny and then pulled her threadwork out of the basket. "You don't rest for a second. Shouldn't you ask them to make them after hiring more people?"

At Killian's words, Julietta picked up a needle and answered. "Yes. Now I have hired more sewing workers, tailors, and doll makers, so I don't have to do anything myself. Amelie and Sophie are good at making clothes without my explanation just by looking at the designs I have drawn."

"Then what is the princess making now?" Killian pointed to a small piece of cloth that Julietta was holding.

"Manny's clothes."

"What?"

"Now that summer is over, I'm preparing for autumn in advance. Manny is a puppy, so he's still having problems controlling his body temperature. Sometimes he shudders."

"A garment for a puppy!"

Julietta looked up at Killian's shocked tone. 'Are there no dog's clothes here?'

Julietta's hands slid down at the sight of him and the people around who were so amazed. "Well, I think it'd be nice to dress a dog, too. People wear clothes for warmth and beauty. It's the same thing…" Julietta's voice was getting smaller and smaller at Killian's absurd look.

"I knew that the princess had a very unique way of thinking, but the idea of dressing an animal is amazing."

Looking carefully at Killian's expression, she couldn't tell whether he was angry or really impressed, Julietta decided to ask another question. "Your Highness, since I've been away from the capital, I've been thinking a lot about other people. I imagined a lot because I was bored. So, I'm asking you because I don't know, um... don't n.o.bles put necklaces or clothes on pets like dogs, cats, and so on?"

"They have never done such a thing, even to the pets of the Emperor."

Julietta's eyes sparkled at the answer. "Really? Oh, my. You mean no one's done this kind of big money-making business?"

Barely holding back from running about the room with joy, Julietta said to Killian, "Your Highness, make and sell jewelry for pets, too. I need to make and sell clothes, houses, bags and more for pets."

Killian snorted wildly at Julietta's words. "What kind of clothes and jewelry do you mean for an animal? Don't even talk nonsense!"

"Your Highness, this is a big money-making business. Please believe me. It's a huge business. The n.o.bles will be able to show off their wealth in another direction through their pets. They have the money, and they really care about their pets and love them, and they won't spare their wealth for the better and the prettier ones."

To Killian who didn't believe in himself, Julietta begged him to trust her hard as if she was a swindler. "I'll also need to get a pet model for the opening party in two weeks. Your Highness, can you make me some pet accessories by then?"

Julietta did not notice herself asking Killian to do a favor without hesitation. She was sure he would listen.

Killian could not refuse her when she was so excited that she was nagging. No, the answer was that he didn't have the heart to refuse. "If you make and give me the list of the necessary items, I'll ask the craftsman."

'I'm not making it for myself anyway, so what can I not do for her?'

"Yes, yes, Your Highness. I need them made right away."

Manny had already woken up, and looked at the two with his bright eyes. The black-eyed puppy, with a completely different inner side from its cute appearance, barked loudly, as if warning them while looking at the two.

Their noisy act of waking himself up was, in short, 'You're flirting!' Manny barked once more, trying to get rid of the unpleasant energy that seemed to have turned pink in the air.

"Oh, Manny barked. Your voice is rich and full." Julietta lifted the barking Manny, hugged him tightly, and put him down on the floor.

Tottering to the door, Manny began to take a dump on a piece of paper by the front door. Killian was surprised to see that for the first time because he was a n.o.bleman, but Julietta clapped her hands and cheered for Manny when he returned from his work. "Oh, you are so nice. Oh, you're so pretty. Who does he look so smart?"

Killian looked at Julietta with an amazing look and shook his head without realizing it, and his eyes met the ones of Valerian who was waiting next to him. Valerian looked with an exciting look at Julietta who cared not a bit about the n.o.ble Prince, and at himself trying to attract such attention.

Killian turned his head to Julietta again, his mouth twitching to hold back his laughter, and laughed together as he saw her laughing with her hands clapping like a child.

'Julietta, smile like that. It's been enough of you to hide your true self until this time. I will protect you from now on…'
