I Became The Stepmother Of An Irrevocable Dark Family

Chapter 38

“….”

Rere, who was giggling at my stiff face, moved past me.

“Big bunny hates it, so I’ll have to do it often.”

In the meantime, Rere was busy checking if there was anyone in the room. The nanny naturally locked the door as though she already knew what Rere was going to do.

Meanwhile, my vision scattered across the room. It was my first time seeing the Duchess’ room, and it surprised me without fail. The room, which was so large that my eyes couldn’t view the whole room at one glance, was so fancy and brilliant.

“Wow, look at all these things. It’s very luxurious.”

My eyes grew bigger and bigger due to amazement. The room that was bigger than Rere’s big room was as splendid as gold itself. It was adorned in gold and red rubies. The carpets and curtains were also of top quality. What’s more, even the sofa was decorated with gold, so I was quite speechless.

That was amazing.

Unlike me, who was busy looking around, Rere held my hand and pulled me.

“It’s going to be Big Bunny’s room anyway, so you can look around later.”

“Huh?”

“I know my daddy very well, so I’m sure they cleaned up this room so that Big Bunny can use it.”

“Huh..? I-Is that so?”

“Yeah, I’m sure. I saw it earlier, and the new items in this room are similar to Big bunny’s taste. I’ll ask my daddy for a bigger bed. If Big bunny sleeps alone, she might cry because she’s lonely.”

“That’s great.”

However, I couldn’t believe what Rere said. I couldn’t believe that the Duke would give me a room like this since I was quite sure he would just let me have my old room again. Although he said he’d do anything for me now, knowing his personality, I didn’t expect anything from him.

“Then let’s go!”

“But why are we here?”

“Why are you still asking!”

As if she chose to respond with actions rather than words, Rere hurriedly dragged me from the bedroom to the dressing room.

“Wow…that poopy head is really extravagant. She has so many dresses.”

Rere was also surprised as if it was her first time seeing such a person. Astra was worse than any squanderer. Even the nanny couldn’t hide her surprise when she opened the wardrobe and jewelry box.

“She has much more things than our young miss. No wonder that woman lined up the merchants as soon as she arrived here.”

The nanny behind me quickly went to browse the dresses.

“My god. Look at these jewels and shoes.”

“…That poppy head is clearly crazy!”

Rere pouted her lips with a look of irritation.

“How could that poppy head enjoy all these things? That’s so annoying! My Big bunny doesn’t even get to wear anything like this!”

I was also greatly drawn away by the spectacular feast of dresses that I could only see in pictures. At that time, Rere, who had been complaining for a while, suddenly instructed the nanny.

“Let’s not waste any more time. Nanny, choose the best jewelry and shoes that suit our Big bunny the most.”

“Pardon? Ah! Yes, I will. Let’s see…Madam’s hair is silver so she’ll look good with things in the color of red ruby.”

“Alright, I’m going to look for the dress.”

I was the only one standing still doing nothing. In the meantime, Rere, who was squirming like a snake between the dresses, smiled joyfully as if she had found something satisfying.

“Come here, Big bunny.”

“Ah, okay.”

As soon I moved towards Rere, I was shocked again. The child was proudly pointing at the white dress adorned with diamonds on the chest area and the bottom of the dress.

“Rere, that’s-”

“Stop talking and wear it. From now on, all the dresses here will be Big bunny’s. As the Princess of this family, I will allow you to wear it.”

“…But still.”

“I brought a variety of shoes and accessories. It’s hard to pick the right shoes and accessories between so many choices.”

“Then let’s put it on Big bunny.”

“No, Rere. I can’t wear these…”

“Big bunny! If you talk nonsense one more time, I’ll rip off all of Big bunny’s clothes. I won’t let you get dressed ever again. Do you want me to do that?”

As expected from Rere. Then, the child pulled out a small dagger from her pocket and held it out to me.

“It’s a dagger that my daddy always told me to carry around in case of an emergency. I’m going to rip Big bunny’s clothes with this.”

“Oh no!”

I was freaked out because the child approached me while taking out her dagger.

She was serious. If it was Rere, she would totally tear my clothes to shreds.

“If you don’t like the idea of that, then take it off.”

I had no choice but to take off my clothes when Rere urged me.

“Alright.”

As if she had waited for it, the nanny began to dress me up in the dress Rere had chosen earlier.

She even fastened a corset, which I have never worn before. Interestingly enough, contrary to how it looked like, the dress felt comfortable. It wasn’t until twenty minutes later that Rere put down the shoes she had picked in front of me.

“Here’s the shoes.”

“I don’t think it’ll fit.”

“Trust me, it will fit. I saw that big bunny and that poppy head’s feet looked similar.”

“Re-Really?”

“You can trust my fashion sense.”

Meanwhile, the nanny, who untied my hair, smiled happily after putting the necklace on my neck. After she added that final touch, I was all ready.

“Big Bunny is so pretty. No, not the bunny, but the dress. It’s like an angel’s wings.”

Rere smiled abundantly, and the nanny, who worked so hard to dress me up, clapped joyfully.

“Of course. Madam is very beautiful. Although Madam was already beautiful, she has become even more gorgeous.”

“Why on earth would I dress like this…”

“It feels good to be pretty, isn’t it?!”

“Yes, but…”

As I murmured, Rere held my hand again.

“I like it. Then let’s go eat now.”

“Wearing this?”

“This is how poopy head was always dressed! So let’s go!”

“…Phew.”

I felt like my ribs were about to jolt because of the corset, but luckily, the pain in my ribs slowly disappeared. Even so, that didn’t make it less uncomfortable. The thought that we were going to eat while I was wearing this made me shake my head vigorously, but Rere was determined.

“Come on, follow me.”

The little girl’s small hand tightly held my hand so much that I eventually conceded to her demand. As expected, the servants opened their mouths when they saw me coming out of the room.

“Everybody, close your eyes! How dare you lay your eyes at our Big Bunny. Only my daddy is allowed to look at Big Bunny.”

“Ah, yes, miss.”

“And the clothes here belong to Big bunny, so don’t throw it away.”

“Yes! You don’t need to worry about it. In the future…”

“What about the future?!”

“Nothing. I’ll follow your order.”

The servant bowed his head and left, but because Rere told him to close his eyes, he went in a strange direction.

“It’s all settled now. Let’s go to the restaurant!”

“Ha….. Why am I wearing this…”

“Come on!”

“Phew…okay.”

Rere jiggled her shoulders as if she wanted to leave as soon as possible, and in the end, I went to the restaurant just as she wanted. Unexpectedly, Luca was standing at the front door of the restaurant.

“You look gorgeous, Ms. Leona.”

I hadn’t thanked him yet, so I was going to greet him happily. But Rere stood between us.

“Luca is not allowed, too. Don’t look at Big Bunny. I can only let my daddy see her.”

“I understand. Then I’ll keep my head down like this.”

“Fine. Open the door!”

“Yes!”

Rere, who pouted like a grumpy child, stared at me.

“Anyway, you shouldn’t look this pretty. It’s troublesome for me to block everyone like this. How annoying.”

“What did you say again?”

“No, nothing. Let’s get in.”

“…Shall we?”

Eventually, I had to enter the restaurant dressed up like this.

“You’re late.”

The Duke got up from his seat after he noticed our arrival. But his expression changed in a flash as soon as he saw us.

Because of his strange gaze, I walked slightly behind Rere. I didn’t want to misunderstand that the Duke was looking at me, but the Duke’s eyes clearly followed me. He just stood there silently, his gaze still fixed at me.

“Daddy, do you think Big Bunny is pretty?”

“Do I look very strange?”

In the end, I had to say something first because I couldn’t overcome his gaze. Only then did the Duke shake his head from side to side as if he just regained his senses.

“It’s not strange at all. Let’s sit down first.”

Thank god, I didn’t look strange. Suddenly, I gained some unknown confidence.

“Rere.”

“Yeah?”

“…Do I look fine?”

“Ah. Didn’t you see how daddy’s eyes went ‘poof’?”

“Poof?”

“He fell in love at first glance.”

At that time, the Duke shook his hands in a hurry.

“Rere, that’s…”

“I know daddy better than anyone else, so I can’t be mistaken. Do you think I won’t know if daddy is having a crush on Big Bunny? You don’t need to hide it.”

“It’s not like that, Rere. I was just surprised. Because she wore Astra’s clothes….. That’s why….. ahem, ahem.”

“Didn’t you just fall in love with Big Bunny?”

“…We have to eat, so let’s sit down.”

His reaction was very strange. No way, right?

Did you really fall in love with me at first sight or something? I looked up and down at him. The atmosphere quickly turned strange.

“Did you really fall in love with me at first sight? Your Grace the Duke?”

“…Fall in love? That can’t be true. And why do you address me so? Just call me Ian.”

“I’m afraid I can’t do that. There’s no way I can call you in a friendly way. I’d have to refuse. But still, I’m relieved. I thought you really fell in love with me.”

At my words, two straight lines crossed his forehead. There was a clear sign of discomfort in his eyes.
