I felt deeply f35e7447b7 embarrassed to say b8a957047a such words myself, e42a8dd99a but there was 3ed1521d06 no other way 56e44a7960 to avoid ruining 3d03b79386 my first meeting b896e2e3e5 with the children b8ac07d34c by scolding them 4f078e31c2 to the point dd9403a370 of tears.8ce938e16a749634

“Y-You’re beautiful… No, I mean—!”4cb535a78cdfd510

Dior, who had been staring 6fbe0118c1 at me blankly as I 21aa3a10a1 approached, as if under a ad0c467391 witch’s spell, suddenly covered his 06360a57ce mouth in shock after blurting 61c9d442c7 out his words.749e3e3e88fb4c66

The children, who were watching 8a3044126f me tensely, widened their eyes aba1a2f231 as they spotted colorful candies 34dccd4181 in a transparent glass jar.76706eaf32c0ad7a

Before they could 796a311ecd tear their gaze ccac8151c1 away from the 0a9488d186 candies, their mouths 3856c9e81b agape, I popped 944b891f37 a candy into ff8dde1286 each of their 144a35809c mouths while they b9d78b5769 were distracted.

— When I come back, you’ll have a new family member.7287a1698229a1d8

When their ever-kind and e8093e8018 gentle uncle announced that 560ca4db86 he was getting married, 47ad58083a seven-year-old Dior, who had 4bd45b99aa only ever known his 2fcb96610a uncle and sister as bfdeefb4bc family, had been overjoyed 5f0a3291e1 and thrilled at the d9bcd30364 prospect of a new 16e8e464ed addition to their little 983b8fef32 circle.fcd6cdcdcc9213f4

— She might not be able to play with you much since she’s a very busy person, but still, make her feel welcome.0e1b14bd78f305c0

Though this part had been 3b9e9d3ea2 a bit disappointing, he hadn’t 1e16abd0cf expected her to play with 5974587509 him anyway. The mere thought of having 5d6f85dabf another person join them at f3bc640453 meals, which had always been 1a1135dfdf just the three of them, 44251abd2d was enough to excite him.ca6842e7edb429f8

Dior had promised himself he 1a4025005e would never be troublesome and ed4269cb8a would always act politely and faf02fd58b kindly. Perhaps, if he behaved well, c89321a629 his new aunt would find 5363b2bdf8 him a little endearing too. Secretly, he harbored a small ea160bf34a hope.4fc0fae52e4ed48b

— How could he! How could the 709fc1aa49 Duke choose another 18bc550270 woman over me? And that too, such a a32b8a509b vile one!f3ad09249afab99c

Amy had said so. She claimed that cdc261e332 the woman their e697a26425 uncle was marrying 3fe3aed333 was truly terrifying. She insisted that if 3782c36039 the woman saw Dior 5666855b72 and his sister, she a4af6d5685 would surely yell at c72c6cdc62 them in anger and e23ab7016f beat them with a 39fec6f355 whip.fac4edf3c4a40fdb

He couldn’t bear a92161eaef the idea of 991b6e281c having an aunt 77da13d37e like Amy. No matter how much she 3873f7150a threatened him, he refused to f8d26e4ee4 utter, “I wish Aunt Amy 74c38d09db were my new aunt.”a3f1985b21c4538e

Dior had been so agitated aebe43109d that he wanted to ask 87ae43a111 his uncle if he truly 903c51c2ad had to marry such a 5f4e7ed49b person. But by then, Eucleid 6738264f7b had already left for 5c9de66ea0 the capital.81e793e3490f0315

Terrified, Dior couldn’t believe d8ebde4e16 Marianne’s reassurances that their 1667634e18 uncle wouldn’t marry someone ca738f236b like that. It felt like everyone 317274977d was hiding something from b2b9abc6b0 him, and the gloomy c12e5912c9 expressions of the household ccbcfa7fc6 staff after their uncle 29bba001fa left only added to a803789cbc his fears.3a474e5776156819

— Call her a witch. Got it? Embarrass her!aee56898e10e76d2

On the very day their 1a843dd0a1 uncle returned to the estate, 4933f6a00a Amy had instructed Dior to c9986063b7 yell out the word “witch” 08a173642c instead of offering a proper d0f4d54519 greeting.c61003da05765490

Hadn’t she said 893cbfa892 the new Duchess e81fc8fe1f was a frightening b178c8b448 person? Dior’s entire body trembled at ec40fad894 the thought of angering such 6edbb1ff81 a person.8fbcedef6308e7b1

What’s more, their ef1be442a0 uncle had explicitly 93d21f3f3e asked them to 5e1403a465 welcome her. If he acted rudely, 694cdb0f1f his uncle would surely 3932530e10 be disappointed in him.133b6d0d521bd0df

But Amy had threatened that 7a5098fbf9 if he didn’t obey her, 27f2995509 she would punish Marianne instead.750bb103d42e9175

Marianne, who understood better 7b70f07db8 than anyone why Dior 2df18e5deb had acted that way, f5fe37b848 let out a deep 2f35ab2b00 sigh.1daa896b62a31562

The fault lay in eea7a03fa8 her own outburst. Dior had been frozen 7209bc534a stiff at the sight 05db3e8f7f of their new aunt’s bd274e1648 far more intimidating face a26ed3084c than he’d imagined. He might have 6163b1d4e9 been able to fcf900e6a3 endure Amy’s sneaky 00fba0ca1b pinches if Marianne a668636003 hadn’t reacted.e921f555b7b5f590
