When I stepped inside the second iron gate, what I saw was a messy blanket on the bed.
I sighed once and said quietly toward the blanket.
“Larissa?”
I couldn’t even remember when Marcia last called the name.
I slowly approached the bed and put down the lamp I had in my hand and a small package wrapped in a handkerchief on the bedside table.
As I went closer, the blanket was shaking so much.
“I’m not holding anything. Now, look.”
To show that I wasn’t holding a weapon or anything, I spread my palms out and stretched them out towards the blanket.
However, there was no change.
I took a few steps back.
“Then I’ll be standing far away. I promise I’m not moving there, so can you show me your face?”
I stood quietly for a few minutes like that. Finally, the blanket moved a little.
In the meantime, I could see a little bit of silver hair.
As I waited with patience, the blanket went down to her shoulders and a small head came out of the gap.
The face was pale and there was no blood.
The wet green eyes looked at me.
It is natural because they are sisters, so they were eyes of the same color.
It somehow made me feel a little deeper compassion.
“… Hi?”
I said hello awkwardly.
Green eyes surrounded by blankets flickered several times.
It turns out that I have never shared a conversation with Larissa.
It was the same when I searched Marcia’s memory.
Not only that, I had never heard of Larissa’s voice.
All I have heard is the sound of pain.
I said carefully.
“Um… do you understand me? Do you know how to speak?”
“……”
“No, it’s not because I thought you couldn’t speak. I’ve never heard your voice.”
“……”
“I have never seen you say anything… If you’re trapped alone, you might hate to talk…, sorry.”
I apologized while talking about gibberish and bowed my head.
Larissa stared at me and nodded a little.
Good. I was relieved inside.
At least she can understand my words.
Well, so she’ll marry the prince in three years.
The ending was that they lived happily ever after and the two of them could have communicated.
I raised my hand to point to the bedside table.
“……!”
Then Larissa was startled and hid under the blanket again.
Oops, I made a mistake.
Seeing that she was scared to even by my small gestures, my heart ached.
I lowered my hand and said cautiously.
“Sorry, are you surprised? I left my handkerchief on the table, and there are ginger cookies on it. I brought it to eat if you ever wanted it.”
The dissert that came out at dinner was taken away a little.
Because the best thing to get along with is to buy goodwill with something delicious.
In fact, at first I didn’t think of what to bring, but when I saw the cookies on the plate, I changed my mind.
It was a cookie drawn in the shape of a cute person and even a face.
Seeing that, I thought it would be okay to bring it to Larissa.
‘I thought she was too young, but she is still a child.’
Larissa pulled her eyes out of the blanket, rolled only her eyes and glanced at the handkerchief.
The green eyes quickly came back to me.
‘She looks like a normal child. Isn’t she cute?’
Larissa said nothing, but curiosity was still in her eyes.
It was a good sign. At least I think you have the intention of listening to me.
“You know, I have something I’d like to suggest.”
I smiled and pulled out her body.
* * *
It was dawn, just before the sun rose. I took a breath.
Now, let’s be in possession of a crazy bitch.
From now on I am a crazy bitch.
I am a crazy bitch.
I am…
“Aaaahhh!!”
I screamed as hard as I could.
With my hand, I pulled the string connected directly to the maids’ room.
It must have made a loud noise in the maids’ room.
-Oh, why are you doing that again from dawn?
-I can’t even sleep, really!
I heard the grunts of the maids on the same floor.
I kept screaming and pulling a fluttering string without worrying about it.
Within a few minutes, a maid appeared with the sound of knocking on the dressing room door.
The maid was forced to wake up in the early morning and pour swear words, but in front of her owner, she was very polite.
“Did you call, Lady Marcia?”
The maid asked.
I pointed to the floor of the room.
“What the hell is in my dress! I have an important party tonight and I have nothing to wear!”
The maid raised her head slightly and looked around the room.
Marcia’s clothes were scattered all over the bedroom floor.
I took a lot of care to make it look like the room was turned upside down.
“Lady, do you dress up from this early morning? Besides, if it’s a dress, there must be something you matched just a few days ago.”
The maid skillfully concealed her feelings and spoke politely.
But it was of little use. Because I can hear the sound of her heart.
-This bitch, just ask someone else to sort this out.
Well, whatever you think inside, it’s your freedom. It’s common to be inaudible to others.
‘It’s a problem because it can be heard by me.’
Well, Marcia was originally like this.
She works, messes up, gets angry, and blames others.
Then go drunk to calm her mind.
“That’s all like this!”
I got angry and picked it up a dress off the floor.
At that time, there was a sound of torn. It was the sound of the lace near the neck collar being torn somewhere.
Of course, I made it torn on purpose, but the maid’s face becomes pale.
I saw the maid’s reaction and deliberately screamed at her louder.
“Gosh, it’s torn! How are you going to do with this!”
“Oh, young lady…!”
-What do you do, you just tore it!
“Do you want to be kicked out of the mansion? You can’t live out there even with your one-year salary!”
-It was torn because of you! I didn’t even move a step here!
I stepped up to the maid. Then the maid flinched her shoulder.
Probably she thought I was going to do a hand-poke sword.
Marcia will probably do that.
“Lady, please do not kick me out! I’ll try to fix it somehow, so please…”
-Crazy bitch, you’re really crazy!
Wow, you’re good at acting.
The voice of her heart and the words coming out of her mouth were completely different, so I laughing quietly.
I didn’t laugh because it was funny. I laughed because it was amazing.
‘If I went through this every day, I would have gone crazy.’
I laughed and said coldly, pushing a dress in front of the maid’s nose.
“Fix it? How? Do you know how to sew, huh?”
It would be nice if I prick her shoulder or cheek with my finger.
Like Villain did to me.
But soon I remembered how dirty I felt at that time.
‘All right, well. I don’t have to do that.’
Even if not, the maid was already in the moment to fall under my feet.
So I have achieved my goal.
“Call Miss Nora right now.”
I deliberately mentioned the name of the owner of the dressing room, then shook my head right away.
“No, wrap it all in a bag. Quickly!”
Then I threw the torn dress on the maid’s chest.
Suddenly, the maid took a dress and held it in her arms, making a stupid expression.
“Yeah?”
“Yeah? Is your ear hole blocked? Put it in the bag!”
I screamed with irritation.
The maid took out all the dresses in the wardrobe
“I’m going to go to the dressing room right now and ask them to fix it. Ah, this and that one too.”
-You stupid bitch. Would the dressing room be opened at this time?
“Except that! Are your eyes sprained? It’s been out of fashion! “
“I’m sorry, Lady.”
-Uh, why the hell is such a kid is a noble lady?
It’s because my parents are nobles.
My lips were plump because I wanted to answer something.
It was surprisingly not easy not to respond to the words in the maid’s heart.
So I deliberately leaned away from the sofa and watched the maid pack the luggage.
Then, when the maid looked to the other side, I pushed the bag of the trinkets and jewels with my feet and slipped between the other bags.
“I put all the dresses you mentioned in the bag, Lady.”
There were six big and small bags in total.
The small one was about twice the size of a hat bag, and the big one was comfortable enough to fit into one child.
I pointed at the bag with a gesture of my head.
“Put them all on the first floor and send the other maids to my room. I have to change my clothes. I’m leaving within 30 minutes, so prepare the wagon and I don’t need breakfast.”
“Yes, Young Lady.”
I called up a maid who was going to go out.
“Take the bag by yourself.”
The blood disappeared from the maid’s face.
“Oh, Lady, this is on the 5th floor.”
“So what?”
I raised my head and looked down at her with my arrogant expression.
“I have six bags, so hold one in each hand. You only have to come and go three times, right?”
-How to hold that one in both hands! Pack a little less luggage!
The maid began to pour the swear words into me.
Later, when I get older, I can open a restaurant.
Something like the swearing restaurant.
I quietly added a word.
“When you’re done carrying, organize this room as well. Of course by yourself.”
The maid glanced through the dressing room with a chewed face.
It seemed that she couldn’t even manage her facial expression anymore.
‘Yes, this is what Marcia was supposed to do.’
I laughed deeply.
