âDo you have any business here?â
I looked at her with a cold expression.
Every time I saw Harris, I didnât feel anything. I couldnât understand why she was so angry and what she was afraid of.
For a five-year-old, unlike me, she spoke very well for a child who didnât have memories of the past, which was amazing. That was all I could appreciate about her.
âI have something to do here. So Iâll try to go in. We canât make you wait any longer.â
âWhere are you going?! The dresses arrive today, so of course I have to go in!â
âWhy? Theyâre my clothes.â
âItâs not your clothes. Theyâre clothes for the Grand Dukeâs princess, so itâs not like youâre going to have anything!â
âHarris, youâre greedy, You probably have more clothes than me. I canât believe youâre being greedy for that. But now Iâm also going to try and be greedy. Those are my clothes, so stop being greedy.â
After saying that, I approached the door. The knights, who had not been approaching Harris until recently, opened the door with a small smile.
In case Harris ran in, they stood close to each other and created only a small space for me to enter.
âHey, hey! Where are you going?â
But just as I couldnât stop the running cow because I was so angry, Herace tried to jump in after me, thinking it was time. But this time, Cecilia blocked it.
âLady Harris, stop it. What kind of manners does the Grand Dukeâs princess have?â
âThe princessâ maids donât teach you those things, do they? Iâll directly tell His Highness about this matter.â
âWhat? What are you talking about?â
âI just said it. You arrived here earlier than Lady Bebe, but your manners seem to be worse than Lady Bebe.â
Unlike usual, Ceciliaâs voice was firm.
âAre you threatening me, Cecilia?â
âNo. What do you mean threatening? Iâm blaming your maids. Arenât they very useless?â
Only then did the faces behind Harris also turn red.
However, Cecilia pushed them further into a corner.
âIf what I say is wrong, anyone can speak up.â
âNo one is speaking up. Then, I have no choice but to talk to His Highness.â
âWho do you think you are? Not even my maidsâŠ!â
âI am a nanny. I am in charge of educating all the young ladies and masters in this family, except Lady Harris. And I have the same power as a maid. From my point of view, Lady Harris is lacking, so is there a problem with criticizing those lower than me?â
Cecilia spat out each word in an emotionless tone.
âEven so, you donât have the right to say anything to those who are associated with me!â
âIs that so? But itâs up to the Grand Duke to judge whether Lady Harris, who has three maids yet only whines at the age of five, is good at etiquette. And it remains to be seen whether itâs something to do with serving a child.â
âI will talk to His Highness about what happens next. It just so happens that the Grand Duke said he would be here soon.â
Only then did Harris quickly step back.
âDad said heâd come?â
âYes. If you donât believe me, stay there. Then the Grand Duke will welcome Lady Harris. His daughter doesnât even listen to her ownâŠâ
ââŠIâm not leaving because Iâm scared of that!â
I wondered if that would work, but the effect was quite large. Harris, who had been in a frenzy just now, took a step back.
She said she wasnât doing this, yet she was afraid.
Only after seeing that, the knights guarding the door of the drawing room created a space, and Cecilia stood behind me.
âCecilia⊠are you okay?â
âYes. Nothing was as effective as this. Lady Harris doesnât want to let the Grand Duke and the twin Young Masters know that she was like that.â
âArenât you like that to them as well?â
âYes. Now act like a sweet, cute, and lovely lady.â
I was surprised by the fact and I let out a small sigh.
âEven if others see such an appearance, they cannot easily inform the Grand Duke of this matter⊠I think that is more so.â
âOf course⊠I think youâre doing something similar to Allen.â
Her face hardened in an instant as if she had eaten a bitter candy.
I nodded my head loudly as I saw her like that.
âRight. My brother⊠Iâm sorry. Heâs a really nice person.â
Honestly, who else could be as kind as my brother?
