Guinevere had no idea how to handle a child.
Though she had given birth to William, raising him was entirely left to nurses and nannies.
She decided to raise Larissa herself, but there were limits to what Guinevere considered acceptable.
“First, make sure she eats well and gains some weight. She’s too skinny to be of any use. I’ll come back in a month to check.”
‘Once she reaches a normal weight, I’ll figure out what to teach her.’
Investing money and checking in periodically. Guinevere believed that was enough for a child to grow up well.
Indeed, William hadn’t caused any problems or worry until his marriage, so Guinevere never doubted her parenting methods.
Having left Larissa in the maid’s care, Guinevere swept away in her cloak.
The maids bowed their heads until Guinevere disappeared down the hallway. Larissa also bowed, glancing at the maids for cues.
After confirming Guinevere was gone, the maid holding Larissa’s hand exhaled deeply and asked the young girl, who was looking up at her.
“Hey. So, your name is… Larissa, right? I’m Daisy.”
“Hello, Daisy sister.”
“Do you know why Lady Rodante wants you to gain weight?”
“…No.”
Larissa’s eyes began to well up with anxiety. The other maids chided Daisy for her question.
“Why would you ask her that?”
“Ouch, I was just curious.”
“She’s about to cry.”
“No, it’s just… do you like candy?”
Daisy pulled out a candy she often sneaked while working, and Larissa’s eyes widened as she nodded.
She had once been given candy by a kind lady who bought her flowers. The candy was small but very sweet and had made her happy.
The maids bustled around, bringing the tear-free Larissa into the room and seating her in a chair while they tidied up.
Larissa, who couldn’t read, was instantly captivated by the colorful pictures in a storybook.
Had it not been for her unfamiliarity with the place, tension, and habitual wariness of others’ eyes, she would have been absorbed in the fairy tale.
Larissa used the storybook to hide her face and eavesdropped on the maids’ whispers.
“Don’t get too attached. We don’t know what will become of her.”
That comment frightened Larissa, but she pretended not to hear and held back her fear.
‘Did mom get deceived?’
Realistically, it was more convincing that her mother had been fooled by a lie, leaving her daughter in a dangerous place, than Guinevere Rodante being her mother’s friend.
‘What should I do?’
Larissa was very scared, but the novelty and exhaustion of her first carriage ride made her fall asleep quickly as soon as the maids put her in warm bathwater.
William came looking for Larissa when she had been moved from the bathtub to the bed.
Daisy, the only maid left, respectfully bowed her head.
“Is she asleep?”
“Yes, young master.”
“I came to get her for dinner…”
“Should I wake her?”
“No.”
After a moment’s hesitation, William asked.
“Did mother say anything?”
‘Like she’s going to marry me or something…’
William was still preoccupied with his mother’s words about marrying him to Larissa.
At first, he took it as a joke, but his mother, Guinevere Rodante, had never joked in front of her son.
Even if it sounded like a joke, it usually turned out to be true or she had the power to make it true. As time passed, William grew more doubtful.
Seeing William’s troubled expression, Daisy’s face darkened as well.
Guinevere had no clue how to deal with a child.
She had given birth to William, but the task of raising him was entirely left to the nurses and nannies.
She decided to raise Larissa herself, but Guinevere had her limits regarding what she thought was necessary.
“First, feed her well and fatten her up. She’s useless like this… I’ll come back in a month to check.”
‘Once she’s at a normal weight, maybe then I can teach her something.’
Guinevere believed that investing money and checking in periodically was enough for a child to grow up well.
Indeed, William hadn’t been a problem or a worry until his marriage, so Guinevere never questioned her parenting methods.
After handing Larissa over to a maid, Guinevere turned and swept away, her cloak billowing behind her.
The maids kept their heads bowed until Guinevere disappeared down the corridor. Larissa, following their lead, also bowed her head.
Once Guinevere was out of sight, the maid holding Larissa’s hand took a deep breath and looked at the young girl.
“Hey. So, your name is… Larissa, right? I’m Daisy.”
“Hello, Daisy sister.”
“Do you know why Lady Rodante wants to fatten you up?”
“…No.”
Larissa’s eyes started to well up with uncertainty. The other maids scolded Daisy for her question.
“Why would you ask that?”
“Ouch, I was just curious.”
“She’s going to cry.”
“No, it’s just… do you like candy?”
Daisy took out a candy from her pocket, and Larissa’s eyes widened with excitement as she nodded.
She had once been given candy by a kind lady who had bought her flowers. The candy was small but incredibly sweet and had made her happy.
