2 . Mrs . Barnes and Mildred -4

Yes, Daniel nodded . He rubbed his chin and said,

"I promised to pay for your treatment and your dress . I suppose I'll take a dressmaker as well . When will it be all right?"

People say he is good at business and I think I know why . He was speaking to me as if it were natural, as if he didn’t think I would refuse .

I hesitated for a moment to say no and then came to my senses . Why refuse in the first place?

It's not about this guy, but it's about his life, right? This brunette . Iris and I don't resemble each other, I don't look like her even though we have a mother-daughter relationship .

Maybe it's different if your mom is different, or if your dad is different .

I reckoned Daniel was trying to make up for his brother's mistake . Then, of course, that is worthy .

"Anytime is fine . "

***

"Lily! Should I discard this paper?"

The next afternoon, I was cleaning up the drawing room and shouted . The paper Lily had been writing last night was flying around the base of the drawing-room .

What did she draw? I raised my eyebrows and Lily ran into the drawing-room .

"No!"

"I told you not to run in the hallway . "

Lily’s face burned in my scolding . She came over to me and grabbed the paper .

"You can't throw it away . "

"I won't throw it away even if you run, which, of course, should not be done in the hallway . "

I let go of the paper by saying so . What is this about? I looked at her with curiosity and saw a princess .

Huh? Princess?

It's not surprising that girls paint princesses . I drew a princess when I was young . It's because I was still so young back then that I couldn't believe it .

Lily has already come to an age that does not draw princesses . I asked in bewilderment .

"What's that, what's that about?"

Surprisingly, Lily's face turned red . Why are you shy? I asked with a bit of force .

"Did you paint that?"

"No!"

She sounded surprised, and she screamed, without knowing it . Huh . I winced with surprise . Adolescence? Late puberty?

"Oh, no, it's just . "

Fortunately, Lily's face also showed a sense of embarrassment . She hesitated and said, showing me the paper .

"We're discussing what dress to make with Dabina . "

That's right . A few days ago, Dabina came and got the children's sizes . And she talked about what design she was going to make .

She brought her own Design book, which was quite heavy, and I was surprised that it was just a collection of designs for the debut .

"Ms . Dabina told me to tell her if there's a dress I want, but I think it's better to draw it than to say it . "

Lily said so and stuck out another paper . You drew it yourself? I looked at the paper she gave me and looked at Lily in amazement .

You drew it well .

Very well painted . This is the Dress Lily wants to wear .

"Good drawing . "

I spoke lightly as I handed over the paper . Then something amazing happened .

A look of as if she had been struck in the face formed on Lily's . What is it? Did I say something I shouldn't have? Is painting well in this world a curse?

I searched Mildred's memory in amazement . Shouldn't you tell someone if they did a good job?

"Well, do you really think so?"

When Lily's trembling voice came out of her mouth, Mildred's memory flashed into my head . But that was an information I already knew .

Mildred did not like Lily painting . It's a very expensive hobby, but that was not exactly the reason .

Because she didn't think it was a good hobby for a lady . It's okay to play music, read books, or play tricks . Because it doesn't get dirty .

Writing or painting as well is not a lady's hobby . Not to mention, gardening . The reason is simple . Your hands and clothes get dirty .

Hmm . I stared at Lily as if I was waiting for the rope to come down from the climbing tree . I think differently from Mildred . Lily draws really well .

And I think it is a good hobby as long as it is not about cost .

But can I really say that to Lily?

Mildred stopped her from painting for her .

There is a prejudice that women who write, paint, or gardening cannot marry in an aristocratic society . And in this world, it is possible for noble women to have a fortune from those, but it is difficult path to be situated in .

If you are a rich heiress, women like Lily should marry a wealthy man, if you are not wealthy, at least you are a man who can feed Lily . That would also be fine .

And Mildred was afraid Lily wouldn't get married .

"I think you draw well . "

I said with a sigh . But Mildred's idea is right . Art was an expensive hobby even in the world where I used to live . Many were born poor, daughter, and gave up art .

Then, someone knocked on my door .

"Oops!"

I turned my head toward the hallway in surprise . There was a reason for this rush . We were supposed to have a visitor .

Last night, I said to Daniel, who took me from Gary's house, "Come any time . " And he said he'd come the next day, so today .

"Lily! Put it away here! Quick!"

I left the drawing room with Lily and ran out on the aisle . I heard Lily talking from behind .

"Mother, you told me not to run .

I know, man, you can't run .

But I can't help running . I'm in trouble . I was busy cooking in the morning because I couldn't send him away without at least feeding him anything and I was . . .

Of course the cooking is cooking well in the oven . I left this oven to Iris because there was no fire control or timer .

And Ashley . . . .

I crossed the hall to open the door and found Ashley still cleaning the floor of the hall and approached her .

Hey, it's lunchtime when I asked you to clean this place up . You can't clean the hall for three hours!

I'd like to shake Ashley's shoulder if I could, but I don't have time for that . I said, fishing for a rag mop with Ashley on it .

"Stop and put it away . "

"But, Mother, I haven't finished . . . … . "

Oh, that’s frustrating . I put the rod back in Ashley’s hand and said,

"The guests are here . Put this away and go change your clothes . Got it?"

What the hell did she do to clean up? Ashley had black spots on her face and clothes . And I swear there's no stove in the hall of this house .

I only approached the door after I checked that Ashley went in with a mop and a bucket of water . And I organized my clothes .

"Welcome . "

When I opened the door, I saw Daniel standing in a creaky way . With one hand on his back, he remained expressionless and straightened his posture when the door opened .

Oops . . .

I felt a little strange . It's not because he was standing well . It was because Daniel's expressionless face brightened the moment he saw me . It was as if I had seen the stage before the curtain went up .

"Come on in . "

I checked Daniel and the people standing behind him and opened the door wide, And he led them to the drawing room where we ran hard earlier .

Lily cleaned it up, didn't she? I hope so .

"Welcome . "

Fortunately, the drawing room was clean . Lily was also waiting for us empty-handed . The clump of paper she was holding seemed to have already been removed .

Thank God . I felt a little relieved and offered a seat to the guests . Daniel brought in a total of three people . There were two women who looked like a dressmaker and one man who looked like a doctor .

I'm not against it .

"Thank you for coming . "

Iris then came in with a cart . I introduced my daughters quickly .

"Iris Barnes and Lily Barnes . There's a youngest one named Ashley Barnes . "

Then, I heard Ashley running from somewhere . Maybe I should write it down in the hallway . <Don't run in the hallway . >

It's like some high school .

"This is Ashley Barnes . "

I introduced Ashley as soon as she entered the drawing room . Ashley's appearance was disheveled by the change of clothes and the rush .

But she's so beautiful . She's still pretty .

"I'm sorry I'm late . "

"It's okay, but don't run in the hallway . "

Daniel chuckled and laughed . Yeah, you're funny . Daniel opened his mouth when I ignored him and arranged Ashley's hair and clothes .

"This is Dr . Hampton . And this is the white dress . . . … . "

"White dress?"

Iris gave a shrill shriek . Huh? I looked at her in amazement and found that Lily and Ashley had the same intense look on .

Luckily Daniel had a surprised look on his face with me . Together with the doctor .

The women from the white dress looked natural in Iris's response . Is the white dress famous? I threw a warning look at Iris and asked Lily in a whisper .

"Is it from a famous place?"

"Of course! It's the queen's exclusive dressing room . "

It's a great place . My eyes were all on Niel again . You're going to make me clothes in such a tremendous place? Daniel seems to have a lot of money, a lot .

"The white dress . It's great . "

After seeing the doctor, the dress room staff took my measurements and went back, I advised Daniel to eat as scheduled . And he came into the restaurant as if he knew I'd recommend it .

The children were the cause of the disease throughout the meal . A white dress .

"It must be a very famous place, isn't it?"

I asked while eating roasted chicken . Daniel picked up a glass of wine and spoke with a modest hand .

"It's a nice place . "

"It's not just a nice place! That white dress!"

It was Lily who was excited . And Ashley . Iris managed to contain her feelings, feeling envious of the excitement she saw in front of the staff of the first white dress .

That white dress? I looked at Daniel with an interesting look . Come to think of it, Lily said, the queen's exclusive wardrobe .

And it was only a week ago that I told the owner of the first costume shop that Iris had asked me to listen .

"Not to that extent . "

Daniel grinned and said to Lily, then turned his eyes to me . Then he took a sip of wine and said,

"It's a good place . "

"I heard it's the queen's exclusive wardrobe room . "

"I make the Queen's dresses . "

He said, I've brought him here, but I didn't know . Slowly, it was starting to get confusing whether the man was really modest or showing off his skills with high caliber .

The white dress was certainly a piece of good work, and compared to Dabina, I showed him the design catalog before I asked for the design I wanted .

And I went back the next day, saying I'd come back with a cloth that would suit me . It means that out of the many pieces of cloth, you can look at me directly and make me what I want .

I guess that's how you'll be the queen's consort . Daniel opened his mouth when I sighed .

"More importantly, how's the wound? The doctor said it won't be a problem, is it hard to walk?"

"Yes . "

I answered reflexively and looked at Daniel . He looked uncomfortable talking about the white dress .

Is he just modest?

"After a week, I'll be fine . The doctor said no scar would be left . "

He even gave me a plaster . Put it on in the morning and in the evening . I don't know what they're made of, but I'm afraid I can't use them .

Daniel's eyes have eased off . He tilted his head and smiled .

"That's a relief . "+
