‘Isn’t she Mrs. Lovetree?’
For a moment, my body stiffened.
After I took possession of it, the days I stayed in Lovtree was less than a day.
As soon as I took possession, I was put in a carriage without knowing English.
That day, it was the woman who saw me off.
‘Certainly, it was Avril’s mother.’
As soon as I realized it, I jumped up from my seat and greeted her.
“Mother!”
“Avril, you did not even meet me even after coming to the royal capital.”
Saying this, she rolled her eyes.
Embarrassed, I answered, avoiding her gaze.
“I’m sorry. I was in a tight situation.”
“Yes, I saw the princess as soon as I arrived.” -said Avril’s mom.
“Yeah.”
I looked at her carefully.
Mrs. Lovtree was not known much as an extra.
The only information I knew was that she loved Avril terribly and that all of Avril’s picky personality was inherited from her mother.
Mrs. Lovtree’s disposition did not change even in the midst of the crisis. [Avril talking about the monster situation.]
When the monster ran wild in reply to a support request sent to Lovtree, she said,
‘The letter isn’t elegant.
‘Now I’m in trouble.’
For me, she was a difficult opponent.
Despite her personality, she is Avril’s mother.
And she can point out easily that I am not the real Avril.
While I was immersed in thought, Mrs. Lovtree sat down without saying anything.
A pleasant smile appeared on her face as she slowly looked around the room.
“There’s a pretty good ambiance.”
“Isn’t that right? Asellus decorated it.”
“That kid has improved a lot. But You’re a troublemaker.”
There was an awkward laugh.
Fortunately, she slowly fluttered a fan with purple feathers as if she had not noticed that I was a different person.
Her gaze turned to Sena.
The sharp eyes scrutinized Sena, who became trembled and couldn’t do anything and merely rolled her eyes.
A sigh fell from Madame Lovtree’s mouth.
“Sigh.” [sfx]
I took a breath and said to Sena.
“Sena, prepare some tea.”
“Ah, yes!”
Senna hastily left.
As soon as the sound of Sena’s footsteps moved away, the cold evaluation fell.
“How can she stand still when there is a guest? As you know, a kid like that needs an education.”
[Avril’s mom meant it’s a basic curtsy for a maid or servant to greet guests and offer tea or refreshment first ]
“Sena is a good kid.”
“Yeah, good kids can’t do a simple errand.”
“Mother!”
“Okay. You’re telling me not to criticize your management, right?”
I nodded silently.
Less than ten minutes had passed since we had a conversation, and I was already feeling exhausted.
‘No, let’s get it together.’
She was Avril’s mother.
There will be a lot of things we will face in the future, so I shouldn’t just walk away.
Mrs. Lovtree turned to face me after taking a look around the room.
She asked me, looking into my eyes with a stern look.
“What’s wrong with you?” -Mr.s Lovtree.
She looked up and down at my outfit and sighed again.
“Are you going to keep staying like that?” -Mr.s Lovtree.
I just woke up and looked terrible.
‘I didn’t even comb my hair.’
But it’s Mr.s Lovtree that came without an appointment.
Even she wasn’t too keen on understanding my situation.
I stared blankly.
In the end, I took a step and said,
“I’m going to change.”
Mrs. Lovtree nodded as if she understood.
“Sure, your maid is coming.”
Immediately Senna returned with a teapot.
She looked at me and gestured not to go, but I couldn’t greet the guest in my pajamas.
After beckoning her to wait a moment, I entered the dressing room.
********
Mrs. Lovtree was very extravagant, and She also hoped that her daughter would be on the same path.
Besides, Lovtree was a family with significant financial resources to support her wishes.
Mrs. Robtree, who had lived a life of no envy, had a light outdoor attire comparable to any other family’s party dresses.
After much deliberation, I chose an extravagant dress.
Other maids helped Avril to dress up, except Sena.
Fear toward Mrs. Lovtree was also evident on their faces.
She is sitting in the next room, so I can’t open my mouth.
‘Mr.s Lovtree is as great as the rumors. she wields the maids just by appearing.’
As I left the dressing room, swallowing my worries, Mr.s Lovtree greeted me with a satisfied smile.
‘I see no point in this. Is she okay?’
As soon as she was relieved, she opened her mouth.
“Brill, would you like to buy trinkets and necklaces for your beautiful dress?”
“Why? There is a lot of jewelry in the dressing room.”
“There’s going to be a banquet soon. How many ornaments can be kept in that small dressing room?”
There was enough to be worn at each banquet without overlapping, but it didn’t seem like it would work for Mr.s Lovtree.
Besides, I’m not Avril from Lovetree.
I didn’t want to be a spendthrift, but I had to get used to it.
‘I am a rich woman now. I am wealthy enough to wear jewels all over my body.’
After gathering my thoughts, I was able to nod my head gently.
Mr.s Lovtrees expression became more relaxed after getting my response. I wondered if she felt better at the thought of walking around the capital with her daughter after a long time.
“Well, seeing your face after a long time is good.”
“Me, too.”
She smiled contentedly and drank the tea.
Then, the well-groomed eyebrows contorted.
At the same time, Sena’s complexion turned white.
A ruthless voice flowed from Madame Rovtree’s mouth.
“You have a good stomach, Avril. I can’t believe I drank this bland thing for tea.”
“Please, Mother!.”
“But She is your maid, so I can’t stay silent .”
Sena’s eyes filled with sorrow.
She was about to burst into tears, so I waved at her to go out.
As soon as Sena left the room as if running away, Asellus appeared.
