I Ended Up Saving My Crazy Stepfather - Chapter 24.1

“Madam said she would come to match the clothes of the Grand Duchy Lady, and Astor and I are the only ones in this family, so shouldn’t I come?”

This time, Cecilia added.

“Lady Harris, His Highness has ordered her to match her clothes today.”

“Shut up, Cecilia. Stop acting strange. Just put more clothes on her that I threw away.”

“My Lady!”

It was then…

As if listening to our conversation, the door opened and a woman dressed in colorful clothes stepped inside. Behind her came other women with small dresses and shoes.

But when she came out of the room, Allen and Harris were there. She looked at us with a puzzled look on her face.

“I heard you’re going to dress the Lady today, but there are more people than I thought.”

“So you don’t like it, Madam?”

Sitting on the nearest sofa, Harris spat out her tantrums.

“No, Miss Harris. Of course I don’t hate it. More than that, I should say my greetings to the Lady first today. I’m Madame Elloine of Henelf Salon.”

“This is Lady Bebe Abrant, the new Lady of the Grand Duke.”

As soon as Cecilia introduced me to her, Harris snorted, as if she had waited to do so.

“She’s not supposed to use the Grand Duke’s surname, yet she does?”

“Miss Harris, His Highness has allowed it.”

“Whether he allows it or not, I hate it.”

“But if you keep interrupting today’s schedule, which he has ordered himself, I’m afraid he’ll be very angry.”

“…Are you threatening me?”

“Of course not.”

Cecilia, who used to spit out opposition to Harris’ words, laughed so brightly that I almost didn’t realize it. Harris pressed her lips as if she was the only one annoyed, but she soon stretched herself on the sofa, perhaps thinking she shouldn’t get out of here anymore.

“Cecilia, you’re nitpicking at me about everything. You’ll get a big punishment.”

“If I am getting punished for just protecting My Lady, it’ll be really sweet.”

Cecilia, who was frowning as if she was embarrassed, sighed deeply.

“Is that so? I’ll forgive you for being so generous then.”

For a five-year-old child, it was not enough to speak the language clearly, so it felt strange to see her speak such a bad word as if nothing was wrong.

I’m five, but I felt like I was not five.

“Well… what should I do?”

Madame Elloine, who didn’t know what to do with us, finally opened her mouth. Only then did Cecilia take me in front of her.

With messy hair, Allen followed me around like a fluffy puppy.

“Lady Bebe doesn’t have any clothes yet, so could you measure her size first?”

“Yes, ma’am. First of all, I’ve been looking for clothes to wear after hearing about her age and rough stories. If she’s wearing this first, I’ll measure her size and get her dressed.”

Madame Elloine, who had a thick figure and a sweet voice, pulled a long thread out of her arms and measured my body size.

I’d never seen anything like this before.

I wore these kinds of clothes when my dad was alive, but it was a secret at the time, so I didn’t have to openly call the Madam to coordinate clothes. I just wore the clothes that children of that age wore.

That’s why I felt ticklish from her touch as she traced all over my body.

“There’s nothing to measure in detail.”

As she measured my shoulders, arms, and height, Harris, who was sitting on the sofa, blabbered her mouth again.

“What?”

“Why are you so meticulous when she’s about to leave?”

“Oh…”

“So do it half-heartedly. Just roughly.”

“No, please measure it thoroughly.”

“Yes, measure my sister thoroughly. She’ll gain weight soon, so make her back a little broader.”

“Yes, yes.”

After mumbling for a while at Harris’ words, she listened to Cecilia and Allen afterwards before moving her hands again.

But still, Harris didn’t even think about giving up.

After that, when she tried to measure my foot size, she would say she’s doing unnecessary work, and when she asked what kind of clothes I liked, she asked what I should choose.

Finally, Cecilia, who was holding my hand beside me, approached Harris.

“Miss Harris, do you have any business here?”

“No?”

“Then please leave. I want to measure Lady Bebe’s size in a comfortable environment.”

“So you want me to get out of here?”

“I don’t know why you’re here when you don’t have anything to do with it. I understand that you’ve been getting more clothes recently, Lady Harris.”

“There’s no place I can’t go. There’s no place I can’t be, but Cecilia, you’re picking a fight with me for everything.”

Only then did Harris get up and look up at Cecilia. The maids and knights behind Harris threatened to surround Cecilia.

Eventually, I ran there after seeing it from a long distance.
