Saved by Crazy Stepfather!

It’s 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 mother’s voice and warmth and sank further into her arms.

“Just for today… I’ll just endure it for today… But still. Mom, will you say good job when you wake up?”

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 couldn’t fall asleep easily, perhaps because of tension.

“Sigh…”

Instead, I only faced Cecilia, who entered the room early today.

“My Lady? Are you already up?””

“Uh, yes.”

“Why did I wake you up too early?”

She rushed to bed, showing her embarrassed look.

“No, I’ll be going out for a political meeting today… I thought it wasn’t nervous, but I was.”

“My Lady is smart, so you’ll definitely do well. Since you’re up, would you like to soak yourself in a warm bathtub? Then, you’ll feel less nervous.”

“Yeah! Okay!”

I thought that at least that would relieve the tension.

“But isn’t Cecilia supposed to stop me from going out?”

“Is it a political affairs meeting?”

“Yes!”

“Harris is going out, too. I won’t stop My Lady because I know she’ll do better. Instead, I brought some nice perfume. I think you’ll like it.”

Cecilia talked to me, chattering unlike usual. Maybe it’s because I feel nervous.

“Cecilia is a really good person.”

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.

“Bebe! Brother is here!”

It was Allen who opened the door and came in.

“Why did you wake up so early today? Are you ready?”

“Oh, yeah. I washed up, ate, and I’m going to change a little later. Why did you come so early today?”

“I came to pick you up early in case my sister was nervous.”

Allen looked up and down at me with a disappointed voice.

“You don’t look as nervous as I thought you’d be.”

“Oh, n-nervous?”

Actually, I was really nervous.

I’ve 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.

“But Brother, do you want to come with me?”

“Oh! That’s why I’ve done everything I have to do today!”

Allen, who nodded loudly like a puppy doll, smiled brightly and stretched his shoulders.

It’s not that, but Allen, who usually wore loose clothes like a foal, dressed up in a clean uniform.

“How is it? Brother looks cool. I even dressed up today. Aren’t I handsome?”

“Huh? Yeah.”

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 brother’s personality.

“What’s that reaction?”

“What do you mean? Do you usually go to a political meeting?”

“Uh… No. Usually Lexit went to every meeting, but I didn’t because I didn’t want to.”

“But you’re going because of me?””

“Yes!”

Could he be this honest?

“Why didn’t you go until now?”

“I get lazy when I go.”

“Is it bothersome?”

“I get compared to Lexit over everything, especially since we’re twins, but we’re so different.”

“You’re being compared.”

“Yeah. Every time it happens, I don’t know how to react to that.”

Allen, who smiled awkwardly, scratched my head. I haven’t seen Lexit since that day. Lexit avoided me as if he didn’t want to make any contact with me.

I couldn’t remember for sure, but what’s certain was that Lexit and Allen had opposite personalities.

‘So how stressed must it have been?’

I just nodded my head, understanding the situation.

At that time…

Cecilia, who had been behind me all along, took her watch out of her pocket and came to me.

“Let’s go finish up, My Lady?”

“Yes! Are you going to stay here the whole time?”

“Yes!”

“Then… I’ll give you special permission to eat cookies. It’s on the table over there.”

“Good!”

“Don’t eat it all.”

However, just like throwing dog treats at a dog, I ate as if I lost my mind. Meanwhile, my brother ate three cookies.

“Did I do something wrong?”

As I entered the dressing room holding Cecilia’s hand, I felt regret.

However, since the water had already been spilled, I had no choice but to enter the dressing room.
