It was at that time when Harris moved closer to me.
Harris’ eyes were filled with anger to the extent that I thought she was really hitting me.

Of course, I’m not that scared, because I’ve already been hit countless times by adults.

“Then you will regret it.
If that woman in the room is precious to you, then you better get lost.
What should I do? I don’t know if I’ll kill your mother.
So, if you don’t want to see it, just disappear.”

I also moved closer to her.

“Don’t be rude anymore.
And if you touch my mother even slightest bit, you’re going to regret it.”

I could stand them harming me, but harming my mother was unbearable.

The anger I had endured for a moment was unintentionally expressed vocally.
All the nearby fires went out in an instant, and a bitter wind blew in the hallway.

“Wh-What are you doing?!”

“I haven’t done anything.
But as soon as you touch my mom, I’ll do anything.
So you better get back.”

“Hey, you know I’m just afraid of things like this? Do you know how I’ve been living all this time? This is just…”

“How have you been living?”

“…Anyway, don’t be silly.
Unlike you, I have a lot on my side.”

It was then.

“Miss!”

Cecilia, who had gone out to get a pretty vase, hurriedly ran to me.

At that moment, Harris took a step back from me.

“What’s going on here?”

“Oh, I was just talking to her for a while.”

Harris stared at me and put her finger to her lips like she was making me not to say anything.
But she’s not the one who should decide that.

“She came up to me and made a fuss.
She said she was going to kill my mother.”

“M-Miss Harris! Are you really like that?”

“No.
She’s lying.
Why would I lie to you, as the Lady of the Grand Duke?”

“Pardon?”

At that time, when Cecilia and I were both silent in shame, Harris looked at the people behind me.

“Am I wrong? Have you heard anything else?”

“No.
Not at all.”

“There is nothing particularly problematic though.”

“Did you hear that? She’s lying.”

“I, the real Lady of the Grand Duke, can’t be the one to say such harsh words, can I?”

All were one match.

Anyway, I thought it would be like this because all Harris’ maids and knights were here anyway, but it’s so obvious that it’s absurd.

‘So this is how it turns out.’

There was no such thing as a perfect side for me in the world anyway.

Everyone just chose each other at the same time.

It was natural to choose the one that had the advantage.
I knew it, but somehow resentment crept in.

“But I don’t think My Lady lied.”

Contrary to everyone’s expectations, Cecilia stopped in front of me.

“What? Cecilia, you, a nanny, is on her side and not mine? Do you know what you’re talking about? She called me a liar!”

“No.
I never said that Miss Harris was a liar.
I just said that I believed her.”

“That’s the same!”

“Is that so?”

Cecilia smiled brightly and hugged me as I stood tall.

“Because My Lady doesn’t lie.”

“S-So you think I’m lying!”

“I do not know.
Until then, I do not know.
But one thing is certain, this place is in front of Miss Bebe’s room.
And the one who came without a single appointment is Lady Harris.”

“So what?!”

“Miss Bebe, would you like to continue talking to Lady Harris?”

I strongly objected to her resolute words.

“No.
I didn’t even want to from the very beginning, but when she came, she started arguing.
So I don’t want to talk to her any more.”

“That’s what she said, so let’s go inside.”

“Are you, a nanny, kicking me out?”

“No.
We are talking about the will of Miss Bebe.
So please leave today.
If you have anything to say to Miss Bebe, please make an appointment in advance.
I think the daughter of the Grand Duke is not ignorant of such etiquette.”

Right after the sentence, Cecilia entered.

I had to enter the room in her arms, and Harris’s angry voice resounded far outside the room.

“Get out! Get out! You both can’t be kept unscathed! Oh! I’m gonna tell Dad about this right now! Hey! Hey!”

Harris knocked on my door and kicked it to the point she could break the door.

“Don’t you have to go out?”

“It’s okay.
I’m just worried that your mother might get shocked.”

“Don’t worry.
She won’t wake up.”

“I’m glad to hear that.
It’s a relief.”

Cecilia, who was still looking at my mother’s bed, clapped her hands and laughed.
