Itâs an unusual day for me to miss my mom. If I could, I would wake up my mom right away and hear her voice. However, I knew that it would be over soon, so I set my heart to it.
Instead, I rolled up my body to feel my motherâs voice and warmth and sank further into her arms.
âJust for today⊠Iâll just endure it for today⊠But still. Mom, will you say good job when you wake up?â
I closed my eyes while looking at my unresponsive mother.
So I waited to sleep again, and struggled in bed for a long time.
However, no matter how hard I tried, I couldnât fall asleep easily, perhaps because of tension.
Instead, I only faced Cecilia, who entered the room early today.
âMy Lady? Are you already up?ââ
âWhy did I wake you up too early?â
She rushed to bed, showing her embarrassed look.
âNo, Iâll be going out for a political meeting today⊠I thought it wasnât nervous, but I was.â
âMy Lady is smart, so youâll definitely do well. Since youâre up, would you like to soak yourself in a warm bathtub? Then, youâll feel less nervous.â
I thought that at least that would relieve the tension.
âBut isnât Cecilia supposed to stop me from going out?â
âIs it a political affairs meeting?â
âHarris is going out, too. I wonât stop My Lady because I know sheâll do better. Instead, I brought some nice perfume. I think youâll like it.â
Cecilia talked to me, chattering unlike usual. Maybe itâs because I feel nervous.
âCecilia is a really good person.â
Thanks to this, I relaxed little by little while washing.
I woke up earlier than usual, washed up, and finished eating. Nevertheless, time was horribly slow.
In that situation, the door opened early.
âBebe! Brother is here!â
It was Allen who opened the door and came in.
âWhy did you wake up so early today? Are you ready?â
âOh, yeah. I washed up, ate, and Iâm going to change a little later. Why did you come so early today?â
âI came to pick you up early in case my sister was nervous.â
Allen looked up and down at me with a disappointed voice.
âYou donât look as nervous as I thought youâd be.â
Actually, I was really nervous.
Iâve never appeared in front of many people. The only time I saw many people at once was when the Emperor led the knights and abused me.
He said he was fine and that he was not nervous, but his legs trembled.
âBut Brother, do you want to come with me?â
âOh! Thatâs why Iâve done everything I have to do today!â
Allen, who nodded loudly like a puppy doll, smiled brightly and stretched his shoulders.
Itâs not that, but Allen, who usually wore loose clothes like a foal, dressed up in a clean uniform.
âHow is it? Brother looks cool. I even dressed up today. Arenât I handsome?â
At first, I thought he looked like a talkative duck, but now he looked like a puppy.
His slightly curly hair was disheveled as if it showed my brotherâs personality.
âWhatâs that reaction?â
âWhat do you mean? Do you usually go to a political meeting?â
âUh⊠No. Usually Lexit went to every meeting, but I didnât because I didnât want to.â
âBut youâre going because of me?ââ
âWhy didnât you go until now?â
âI get lazy when I go.â
âI get compared to Lexit over everything, especially since weâre twins, but weâre so different.â
âYouâre being compared.â
âYeah. Every time it happens, I donât know how to react to that.â
Allen, who smiled awkwardly, scratched my head. I havenât seen Lexit since that day. Lexit avoided me as if he didnât want to make any contact with me.
I couldnât remember for sure, but whatâs certain was that Lexit and Allen had opposite personalities.
âSo how stressed must it have been?â
I just nodded my head, understanding the situation.
Cecilia, who had been behind me all along, took her watch out of her pocket and came to me.
âLetâs go finish up, My Lady?â
âYes! Are you going to stay here the whole time?â
âThen⊠Iâll give you special permission to eat cookies. Itâs on the table over there.â
âDonât eat it all.â
However, just like throwing dog treats at a dog, I ate as if I lost my mind. Meanwhile, my brother ate three cookies.
âDid I do something wrong?â
As I entered the dressing room holding Ceciliaâs hand, I felt regret.
However, since the water had already been spilled, I had no choice but to enter the dressing room.
