I was seriously asking, but I think that rather boosted Harrisâs anger.
Harris only moved her mouth out of absurdity and laughed out loud.
âAre you pretending not to know?â
âItâs because I really donât know. Is that a special room?â
âIsnât this just crazy? Are you pretending not to know?â
âI really donât know.â
It was then.
The knights who had been guarding the front of the room until just now heard a loud noise and walked toward us.
My body flinched for a moment. As if she had seen it, Harris snorted and gave an interesting look.
âMy Lady.â
And when they finally arrived in front of me, I stuck close to Cecilia.
âOh, yeah. Okay. You guys came well.â
However, the knights who wore all their armor, did not respond much to Harrisâs words.
âWhat? Why arenât you responding?â
âLady Harris was definitely banned from entering this way.â
âSo what?â
âBut in the meantime, I had only allowed you to pass through this path because it must have been inconvenient. But why are you here instead of passing by?â
I, who was worried that the knights guarding the door were on Harrisâs side and were going to hit me, warmed up only then.
âWhat? What?â
âThe knight gave permission to pass through this place because of the Ladyâs earnest request.â
âWhat? Didnât your dad give you permission?â
As I really believed so, Harrisâs face turned pale.
However, the knights nodded without hesitation.
Looking at them, Harris stared at the knights that followed behind me.
âIs it true? Huh? I was able to go past this place because you asked me to!â
âMy Lady, thatâsâ¦â
Then. One of the two knights came forward scratching his head.
âWhen I asked, you said it was allowed by your dad.â
âI just said I allowed it. answer.â
The knight, who had blurred the end of his speech, quickly deflected.
I looked at Harrisâs face, which turned red like a tomato that was about to burst right away.
âHow dare you play with me?â
Harrisâs anger did not end there. Harris approached her knight and motioned for him to come closer. The knight bowed down, looking uncomfortable, and made eye contact with Harris.
As if waiting for it, Herace slapped the knightâs cheek with his body bent in front of her.
Only the slap filled the quiet hallway.
âHow dare youâ¦â
It was likely that he would grumble or shout, but the knight silently gave his head to Harris.
It wasnât once. As if to express the accumulated anger, she slapped the knight until her hands turned red. None of the men who accompanied the knight and guarded Harrisâs back stopped it.
It was only Cecilia who couldnât bear it, and gently covered my eyes.
âWeâre going back now.â
And Cecilia, who had been watching the scene, turned to approach the door, wondering if it was going to go any longer. Only then did Harris stop hitting the knight and try to tightly grab onto my forearms.
However, the knights, who were guarding the door, blocked Harris.
âLady Harris wasnât even allowed to come close to the room. Please step back.â
âMove. Do you know who I am? Huh? Do you know who I am? Iâm the real lady who inherited the blood of this family!
I thought I would get out of the way if I made a fuss like that, but the knights didnât even move a little. They firmly blocked Harris until Cecilia and I entered the room.
Because of this, Harris was more chaotic than ever, but it quickly became quiet, as if she had been subdued.
âThereâs never a quiet day.â
âI know. I never imagined that Lady Harris would pass this way.â
Cecilia hardened her face, as if what happened just before was a terrible thing. Her face had an expression that was not much different from mine.
âBut to say hello every day like that.. I think thatâs amazing.â
âIs that so?â
âYes, but Cecilia.â
Meanwhile, Cecilia took me to the dressing room to change into pajamas. When I wore the pajamas that felt soft enough to match the sound of chirping, it felt like tension all over my body was relieved.
âWhat? Are you uncomfortable?â
âNo. Rather than uncomfortable⦠you know⦠what room is this?â
âAh!â
âBecause of what Harris said earlierâ¦â
âThis is the room used by Grand Duchess Ellinson.â
âReally?â
I was surprised at the moment and couldnât close my mouth.
I canât believe itâs the room used by the Great Duchess.
âThen, what about the pattern on the room door?â
âItâs the same as the one in the Grand Dukeâs room, just in a different direction. That shows that itâs the Grand Duchessâs room.â
âOhâ¦â
I couldnât close my mouth in surprise.
