1 . She’s in the body of her stepmother – 4

 

“Excuse me,” the man said again .

 

“Excuse me . ” He repeated as he looked around .

 

“Wait over there . There are a lot of people . ”

 

It was supposed to be a persuasion, but it came out more like an order . I breathed a sigh and got out of the way as others pointed out .

 

You can’t fight screaming in the middle of this crowded road . But I heard Iris very clearly .

 

“Apologize! Do it properly!”

 

You’re good . My daughter .

 

Of course, the man seemed to think the latter . His face grew serious . I was looking at him as if he didn’t know whether to stop Iris or stay with me .

 

That’s not my problem but yours mister .

 

“If that’s the case . . . ” The man said and turned to me . The light from the sun seemed to have turned his hair from the light color of brown to a hair of gold .

 

His eyes were dark brown .

 

But the most striking thing was the man’s appearance . Oh, he was handsome enough to impress me, but I’m too old to talk about a man’s figure . I got through it all quickly .

 

“Excuse me . ”

 

“Yes?”

 

The man who was about to say something seemed to have lost track and bit back . I spoke firmly with the dignity of an elder .

 

“Excuse me . Just leave it as it is . ”

 

“But . ”

 

“But no . It’s just me . ”

 

Iris could handle it . Against my opposition, the man couldn’t leave me and began to stare at Iris and the young boy .

 

Naturally, Iris was quick to compose herself .

 

She grabbed the hand of the boy and dragged him towards me .

 

“Apologize! Apologize to my mother!”

 

“Mother?”

 

The boy’s expression went strange . I knew what it was . You mean Iris and I don’t look alike at all .

 

And there was a man who threw a similar reaction next to me .

 

“Was it a mother, not an older sister?”

 

“Passed . ”

 

I slapped the man next to me on the shoulder and smiled like how a social life works . However, the two men responded that it was ridiculous .

 

Whether it is or not, I turned my gaze to the young child . He was really a kid . Suddenly entering a thirty-seven-year-old body doesn’t change my taste, but I think he would still be a child in my eyes even before I entered this body .

 

I wonder if he is about 20 years old . He had brown hair and blue eyes, a bit like Ashley but not exactly the same .

 

They both looked a little flowery, or rather, in a good way, like rich kids .

 

Also somehow, he looked like an idol in my original world, which in other words, he’s a handsome boy .

 

“So, honey, what about the apology?”

 

I tilted my head and asked . The boy looked unconvinced and looked at the man next to me . But when he didn’t say anything, the boy’s eyes turned to me again .

 

And the apology?

 

I urged him with my eyes, and the man beside me made a small noise .

 

“Khm . ”

 

Only then did the boy bow his head and spoke in a crawling voice .

 

“I’ve made a big mistake, Lady . Please forgive me with your compassionate heart . I was disrespectful . ”

 

“What?”

 

I’m sorry for what I expected was completely different . I didn’t expect such a full-fledged apology . I was dumbfounded, and Iris looked at the boy as if he were crazy .

 

She even let go of the boy’s hand and crept towards me .

 

“If there’s any way to compensate for Lady’s damage, I’ll do anything . Like the sky! the sk-!”

 

Sky? What in the sky? While I was looking up at the sky, the man next to me ran like lightning and grabbed the boy by the collar .

 

And he smiled at me and said, “I’m genuinely very sorry . I have repented of my wrongdoing . Please forgive me . ”

 

What kind of a gag combination are you guys? Mine and Iris’ eyes were cold . The man put the boy’s collar back and quickly mended his crumpled clothes .

 

“I’ll make up for the clothes that are ruined . And I suggest you go to my house and rest for a second . . . ”

 

He took the ring off his hand by saying so . It was a pretty big ring . Jewelry? It was obvious that the delicate colors were of superior quality .

 

Da .

 

The man handed me the ring and said, “Go to a restaurant on the next street called Fairy Spring, and if you do this, you’ll get whatever you want . Have all you want . ”

 

You want me to get myself something to eat? I looked at the ring in amazement . I think it would be better to sell it .

 

But the man grabbed the boy’s elbow dragging him away from me as if he had read my mind .

 

“Oh, selling it is impossible . ”

 

“Why? Is it magical?”

 

It was sarcastic, but the man burst into laughter as if he had heard a very funny joke . What? Why? What? I looked back at the said ring .

 

Some sort of symbol was carved . But if I go through Mildred’s memories, it was not exactly a famous family crest .

 

“That’s weird . ”

 

Iris said and came up to me, she was also looking at the ring . I tilted the ring so that I could see it better .

 

“Have you seen this symbol before?”

 

“No . ”

 

Mildred grew up in a noble family and remembered the crests of most families . Among them is a crest that Iris and Lily had taken themselves .

 

But the ring I am holding now was a crest I have never seen before . I looked at the ring one more time and wore it on my finger, or else I feel like I’ll lose it if I just carry it .

 

“It’s big . ”

 

Iris threw a word from the side . I’ve worn it in the index finger, as such, I tried putting it on the middle finger but to no avail, the ring was still too big .

 

Which finger did this man put it on? I had to put the ring on my thumb . This is like putting a stone ring on a baby girl .

 

Arthur Young, you’re welcome .

 

“Mother!”

 

Ashley and Lily, who had disappeared, came back looking for me . They were wearing smiles from their personal errands .

 

Yeah, I’d be glad if you guys had fun . I ushered my hands behind my back to cover my bleeding palm .

 

“Did you find anything interesting?”

 

“I sold flour in front Yoyo at a low price . ”

 

Ashley said excitedly . But Lily, who opened her mouth the same way, was startled .

 

Holding my skirt, she asked, “Mother, are you hurt?”

 

Damn it . I checked the area Lily had caught was torn apart and clicked my tongue . Iris said next to me .

 

“Some stupid kid pushed her down . ”

 

She and Ashley looked surprise . Then she asked .

 

“Shall we just go back?”

 

Oh, right . We came to buy clothes . I checked the proportion of people who seemed to have similar purpose to us among the crowd and threw a line of poetry back into the street .

 

Then I took a stealthy step . It was okay . It hurts a little, but I can walk .

 

Moreover, if you look back on Mildred’s memory, many unwed ladies must attend parties at this time or another . The prince will be charmed and marry Ashley at a glace . Iris and Lily are not in the picture .

 

This is an opportunity for Iris and Lily . There is no chance of marrying a prince, but they can meet another fine man .

 

“Let’s go . ”

 

I led the children into a street lined with clothing stores and taverns . Unlike before, Ashley and Lily followed me closely .

 

“Come on . ”

 

The clothing store was not a place I knew . When it comes to clothes shops where I used to live, there are a lot of pre-made items . Customers go in and look for clothes that match their preferred design and price .

 

Of course, it is very difficult to match the two .

 

But the clothing store here was excessively inferior and as of low class . Thus, already finished dresses was still not a thing .

 

“Hmm?”

 

I stopped, embarrassed to see the store full when I and the children entered . There were shelves in each wall, each filled with twinkling cloth . Is this a clothing store or a Neira box? (CL: Unfortunately, I don’t know what she meant by that . The translation may be completely wrong)

 

“Are you looking for anything?”

 

The man bowed and repeated the question once again . He took a glance at us with a peevish look as if we were an inconvenience . You don’t want to sell it?

 

“I’m here to see some clothes . ”

 

The man laughed at my words, then leaned back on the shelf and sardonically said .

 

“My house doesn’t sell that kind of stuff . ”

 

The man may look older than me, but talking back to a customer is by no means willing to sell .

 

I don’t have to buy it if he’s that unwilling to sell . There are many shops other than here . With my head sharply tilted, I asked .

 

“That kind of stuff?”

 

“Look at your dress . You’re walking around searching for canceled dresses and you’re hanging around this shop with nothing of the sort . We don’t have time to produce such a thing . Go wander about at the end of this alley . ”

 

I didn’t quite understand what he was trying to say . Nibbling his tongue, the man then said .

 

“By the way, women these days are so vain . . . . . . . . . ”

 

The children froze at the man’s words . I’m sure they never heard such rudeness before, but I have . I quickly searched Mildred’s memory to find the reason why this man is behaving this way .

 

Clothes in this world are basically custom-made . When a customer tells a design that he or she wants, the manufacturer first draws the design he or she wants, and then produces it according to the size of the customer .

 

It takes quite a while, but there’s nothing off-the-shelf here .

 

It turns out that the Cinderella in the fairy tale would also only wear the dress from the fairy .

 

I heard it . People who don’t have money buy the fabrics and make it themselves .

 

Sometimes, you can order in a store and not visit it, because it is made to match the customer’s size . It cannot be sold until you get it .

 

So, the store often turned over the finished clothes at a cheap price when someone showed up to fit them . To get even a thousand dollars .

 

However, the high-sounding store for nobility is abandoned .

 

All right, I’m gonna come up with that and I’m gonna go round about it .

 

“A cheap dye?”

 

The man asked what I was talking about so I respectfully turned my head and stared at him .

 

Mildred had a certain look when she despised a person .

 

I said, trying to look like her the best that I could .

 

“None of these red fabrics is dyed with an ISO, is it?” (CL: I tried to research what’s an ISO but I just can’t find something that makes sense . I apologize)

 

The man’s face turned red, as red as the nearest piece of cloth .

 

“Muh, what are you talking about? It’s your dress that is dyed with an ISO . . . . “+

 

“Swindler . ”

 

I cut the man’s horse off a single blade . Mildred’s dress was never dyed with ISO . She was a wealthy baronet and would only dress in good clothing .

 

The cloth the man had taken out was far from this cow, even in color .

 

“That’s a cowwood dye . ”

 

The man’s eyes bulged out at my words . It seems to me that I have hit the nail right on the spot .
