Hilise's POVWith what happened earlier, it's clear that May understood what I meant.
The moment her eyes met mine again, she trembled as if I just looked into her soul.
"I'm......"
She bowed her head right away and apologized.
"I'm sorry, m'lady. My inexperience has made you upset."
No matter what she's actually thinking inside, she knew it would be better to just act politely.
Since I've been a pushover before, I found out what her strength is through my previous lives. It's that she's able to change her attitude at once after quickly grasping the atmosphere.
The existence of a quick-witted employee who didn't bother me was quite convenient.
"I will prepare the water for you to wash your face now."
May hurriedly straightened herself up.
The mess on the floor was cleared in an instant. After that, she gave me a moderately heated water.
Unlike from the beginning, May behave obediently this time.
After I finished washing my face, I headed to my dressing room.
I opened the door and saw that the dresses were just as I had expected.
"I don't like them."
May, who was next to me, flinched at my words.
She had a suspicious look on her face that said, 'You wouldn't fling the dresses like you did to the washbasin earlier, would you?'
Ever since my stepmother came to the Inoaden, I've always worn dresses that covered my wrists and neck.
In addition, the colors were far from bright colors.
A lady's beauty comes from her frugality and simplicity. That's what I've always heard since I was young.
It was my stepmother who said this to me, and I obeyed her like a gentle little lamb.
However, considering that she only bought Gabriel cute and bright clothes, my stepmother's words were very contradictory.
I didn't realize it when I was young, but now I'm sure my stepmother despised me.
I don't even care about clothes like these anymore.
My nightmare last night only reminded me of my bad memories.
I reached my hand into the dressing room.
**Shrkkk!
The plain, achromatic dresses that hung inside started to get covered with petals.
A sweet scent spread throughout the room.
This is the realization of my will.
With my power is not yet fully awakened, so the work I can do with it is limited. Nonetheless, I didn't have any difficulty in performing this task.
The view of the dingy clothes transformed into bright colored petals. Petals fell all over the place as if they were falling from the sky. It was quite remarkable.
I didn't have many clothes in the first place, so it didn't take long. The room was filled with petals.
The scented petals that overflowed outside reached my ankles.
All the outdoor and indoor dresses that I could've worn right now are gone, but it doesn't matter.
Unlike the roses that bloomed in the garden, the roses this time had completely changed the fabrics' nature. The clothes were gone the moment they were touched by the roses.
