No Evil Lady in the World (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 41

He said.

“I don’t understand why you’re angry. Ariante isn’t the only one who wears a corset. Any child from a noble house would…”

Meiana said,

Of course, I can’t possibly worry about every child from every other noble house—that’s honestly none of my concern! But Lady Ariante is different. She’s the child I’m responsible for, the one I must care for.”

Sediloi’s expression darkened with a strange look. Ariante, perhaps too shocked at seeing Meiana angry for the first time—or maybe because Sediloi was present—sat frozen, lips tightly shut, unable to utter a word.
