The Sold Daughter Was Doted On So Much That She Was ‘Unfrozen’ In Her Place Of Servitude

New Outfit.

Carefully holding onto the thread wound around the needle, I pull it through and tie a knot, then cut off the remaining thread with a snap.

“There, it’s done!”

I hold up a light yellow dress I made from a pattern, my first piece of clothing I made for myself! While I have sewn clothes for Schwarz-sama before, I have only ever remade clothes left in the mansion, never made anything from scratch. I spent about two weeks sewing on my machine during my spare time from household chores and hand-sewing before bed, and finally, my favorite dress was complete.

I added puff sleeves, a matching fabric belt at the waist, and created a natural drape for the skirt. The collar and cuffs were embroidered with a wave pattern. Schwarz-sama’s clothing is always so simple he even dislikes buttons, so I couldn’t help but put more effort into decorating my own dress.

Embroidering was time-consuming, but it was worth it.

“It’s so cute! It looks amazing! I need to iron it!” I exclaimed while admiring my new dress in the mirror.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

“Michelle, is everything alright?”

It was unusual for Schwarz-sama to visit my room, maybe even the first time.

“What’s the matter?” I poked my head out of the door, wearing my nightdress.

“I heard some noise and footsteps and thought someone broke in,” he said, looking confused.

I was so embarrassed that I had been dancing and shouting with excitement about my new dress that I couldn’t help but say, “I’m sorry for startling you. I just finished making a new dress.”

It was already nighttime, and even though the mansion was large, it was quiet with only the two of us living there, so it’s no wonder he was worried.

Schwarz-sama simply said, “That’s okay,” and let it go.

“Oh, by the way, I made this dress.” I said, showing him the light yellow dress.

“It turned out pretty well, don’t you think? But, I don’t have any plans to wear it anywhere.”

I smiled proudly and then laughed awkwardly. It was an elegant dress, but I only had my maid uniform for weekdays, and it was too much to wear it as loungewear, so I didn’t have many opportunities to wear it. Still, it’s always helpful to have a dress for more formal occasions.

“I’m sorry for bothering you. Goodnight,” I bowed deeply, trying to wrap up the situation. However, Schwarz-sama placed his hand on his chin and spoke up.

Deeply bowing and trying to resolve the situation, Schwarz put his hand on his chin and thought, “Shall we go to that cafeteria on our next day off?”

“Huh?” I said, confused about the intention of his words.

He also tilted his head in bewilderment.

“I thought you wanted an opportunity to wear that outfit… Was it inconvenient?”

“No! Not at all!” I shook my head vigorously.

I couldn’t believe Schwarz-sama was inviting me!

“I’m so happy! I’m really looking forward to it!”

“I see…” The general seemed a little hesitant about my enthusiasm, but I didn’t mind. I was genuinely happy!

“Well then, go to bed now. You won’t grow if you don’t sleep.”

“Yes…”

Although I don’t think I’ll grow much anymore.

I said goodnight to Schwarz-sama again as he turned on his heel, and closed the door.

I hugged my dress and flopped onto the bed.

“I don’t know what to do, I’m so excited that I can’t sleep.”

Even though there were still several days until the day off.
