chapter 19.2




“Mom should only look at pretty things. Eat only delicious things.”
That alone made me feel better, but I kept feeling uncomfortable.
Maybe because I saw Harris earlier.
“Uh… no.”
I remember myself complaining about words that didn’t even fit me.
“Is that childish? I hate stuff like that.”
Why do people like that kind of thing? I don’t think it’s good.
The more I thought about Harris, the more fascinating she was. She’s the Lady of the Grand Duke with a pretty face, but what’s so annoying about her?
At the moment when I was flicking my tongue, the freshest and prettiest flowers fell from the table to the floor.
Sitting on the chair, I jumped down to the floor and carefully lifted the flowers so that they wouldn’t be ruined and put them on the table.
It was then…
“Open the door!”
Someone made a fuss in front of my room.
The sound almost stopped my heart.
“What a surprise.”
The flower that fell a little while ago probably foresaw this situation. It was ominous.
But the loud noise that surprised me didn’t stop there.
“Open the door! Open the door!”
The uninvited guest even knocked on the door, as if she would break it.
Not only my hands but also my feet. I thought the door might break soon, so I hurriedly went to the door and opened it.
It was Harris standing in front of the door.
“Are you avoiding me? Huh? Why weren’t you opening it?”
“It’s not that I didn’t want to open the door. You got mad even before I even opened it.”
It was true.
She has done everything before I even opened the door.
As if what I said wasn’t wrong, Harris had a bad temper with me when she tried to hide her lips.
“…A-Anyway! Since I’m here, you have to open it right away!”
“Why would I?”
“What are you saying?”
“If you hadn’t made a noise, I wouldn’t have opened this door.”
“Have you forgotten who I am? I’m the real Lady of this place!”
Just as if there was no way to express herself but to show her temper, Harris acted so angry.
She’s like the emperor who abused my mother and I.
Every time he saw us, he was always angry about something not going well.
Then the beating session began due to his unknown anger.
In comparison, Harris’ hostility toward me was like a joke.
“…Is that all?”
“Yes, what am I supposed to say to you, My Lady?”
“You, you really are this bad? When everyone here hears my name, Harris, they always drop down! Even my brothers and sisters!”
“But I don’t know the reason why.”
“Oh, so you are like this huh? Do you think I’m your rival?”
“Not at all. I think you’re the one who thinks I’m your rival.”
Her voice was so loud that my sleeping mother would be surprised.
It was so loud.
Those phrases leaked out of me without realizing it. Of course, I knew that would make Harris more fussy, so I closed my mouth quickly.
“Think as you please. Then I’ll be going then. I hope I don’t find you like this next time.”
“What’s the catch if you see me like this?”
“You’re gonna tell Dad, aren’t you?”
Harris, who had her hands on her waistline and made a fuss, laid her arms together.
“Oh, so that was it, huh? You’re making all sorts of fuss because you want your dad’s attention? This time, you’re intentionally timing the time you have to go out so you can bump into Dad, right?”
“But it was about the mess?”
“What?”
“Oh, do you have to make a fuss to see Dad?”
I looked at Harris quietly. Harris was as beautiful as a child who was loved by everyone in the Grand Palace.
With a pale face and chubby cheeks, her hair resembling the night sky that was so well maintained that it sparkled as if it contained starlight.
What about the clothes? She was wearing a dress so pretty that anyone could see it was a dress for princesses.
‘She’s obviously the Young Miss of this family.’
“Hey, that’s not true. I don’t have to go on a rampage just to see Dad!”
“Then why are you doing this to me?”
“What do you mean?”
“There’s no reason. You say you can see Dad without making a fuss. You’re his dear daughter, so why are you doing this to me?”
It was an innocent curiosity.
‘It’s like being angry at someone who has everything towards a person who doesn’t have anything.’
There were even three maids and two knights behindHarris.
Behind Lexit and Allen was one maid and one servant. And it’s too much compared to a single knight.
That’s how much he cared about her, but why was she so anxious?
“You are so annoying. Anyway, you’re all annoying. Just don’t come out of this room! Get out of this house!”
“Why?”
“What? Why do you keep asking?”
She shook her head from side to side as she insisted on saying nonsense.
“Why do I have to go out?”
“’Cause y-you’re a fake!”
“But Dad said that I can stay.”
“’Cause I don’t like you!”
“If you don’t like me, go tell it Dad.”
