The Young Lady Tames the Main Leads

Chapter 104

When I was staring at the window while dazed while riding in the carriage going home.

“Huh?”

Suddenly, outside the window, I saw a face I knew.

It was Alice.

This is where the largest theater in the capital is located, and it seems that it was true that she was going to see a play with her family in kindergarten.

“But why…”

She was not with other family members.

Even more than a bodyguard or a maid, Alice was completely alone.

I tilted my head in surprise, and immediately shouted at the coachman at the one person that flashed in my mind and passed by.

“Please stop here for a moment! I’ll get off in a moment.”

“Yes, Miss!”

Soon the carriage stopped, and I hurriedly jumped off.

At the sound of my running, Alice turned around.

The moment Alice’s expression changed from loneliness to surprise, I arrived in front of Alice.

“Alice!”

“La, Lady Emir? How are you…?”

“I was just in the dressing room with the Princess. I, I was just about to go back.”

“Ah……”

“I was riding the carriage, and I saw Alice, so I had to get off!”

Alice smiled brightly at my cry.

The loneliness of the past could not be found with the smile.

However, Alice still looked sad.

“Uh, Alice, are you cold?”

Then, I found Alice trembling a little.

It was early summer, but today was a bit cold.

It was even more so because the wind was blowing coldly and the sun was setting.

In such weather, she was wearing only one thin one-piece dress, so it was strange that it wasn’t cold.

“I’m, I’m not… cold.”

Alice reflexively shook her head and looked down. Her body trembled in the rushing cold for an instant.

“Wear this for now!”

I immediately took off the mini cape I was wearing and wrapped it around Alice.

It was small but wrapped around her neck.

Besides, it’ll be warm because I’ve just been wearing it.

“……Thank you.”

“Would you like to go by carriage? That carriage over there I was riding in. It’s cold to stay here.”

After a moment’s hesitation, I proposed.

Then Alice glanced at the theater behind her, and she meekly grabbed my hand and followed me, thinking that her family had a long way to go.

“Use the blanket too.”

A wool blanket, which was always ready in the carriage, was placed on Alice’s lap.

So the two of us sat in the carriage with silence.

At some point, Alice’s pale cheeks were once again red.

‘How long have you been standing outside?’

I glanced at Alice.

Alice felt my gaze, so she was just looking down at her floor.

“…Why don’t you ask me? Why was I standing outside alone?”

After a while, Alice opened her mouth in a low voice.

She seemed to care even if she pretended not to be.

I shrugged my shoulders.

“If Alice wants to tell me, you can answer it.”

“……”

At that, Alice was silent again. And after a few seconds she opened her mouth.

“Actually, my family hates me.”

“……”

Without answering anything, I looked at that sullen Alice.

Did my silence become a confirmation?

Or maybe she thought it was good.

Alice went on with her words, as if pouring out her words that she had never said before.

“I’m from a family of fairy summoners, but they said I didn’t have that talent from the beginning… Besides, I look a little different from other family members. That’s why they hate me.”

Alice’s past was mentioned briefly at the beginning of the novel.

I never dared to imagine what it would be like for her to have to vomit all her sorrows with her own mouth.

No matter how young a 7-year-old child is, it doesn’t mean that she can’t feel the vivid feelings of evil towards her.

Rather, it would have been more difficult.

“I was raised by my nanny, not my family. Actually, she was a maid, not a nanny. Even after that, my nanny was kicked out of the mansion last year, so I’m all alone. I was alone.”

In the meantime, I knew that Alice was being mistreated by her family.

Because I read the original story.

However, I could not easily bring it up to ask her or mention it.

“My parents ignore me. My sister ignores me and teases me. Even the employees in the house don’t care about me.”

Because I was afraid that her already wounded heart would be wounded again.

All I could do was hold Alice’s cold trembling hand.

“Today was the day I spent with my family after a really long time. Mother said let’s go out together, huk. So I was very happy… When I came here, they said that I couldn’t go to the theater together. Huuuu…”

Alice finally sobbed sadly as her face was full of sorrow.

Her tears flowed nonstop.
