    Chapter 4

    CL: I really wanted to read this so I attempted doing this . HAHA . I hope you like it . 4

    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 .
