In the parlour, Cyrus was sitting on the sofa in his plain clothes, and next to him were two items covered in cloth.

Sorry for calling you here.

Its fine. Did you need something, Onii-sama?

First, I have something for Cordelia. Earl Alcott has sent you this. Lara, do as I told you earlier.

Yes.

Lara nodded at Cyrus and removed the cloth from the small item, then a pearl pink dress with a patterned torso was revealed.

Oh my! This is a gorgeous dress.

Its a floral silk dress. He also sent a matching hat.

Cordelia froze.

However, she understood that this dress came at a ridiculous price. She became flustered.

Will you receive it?

Hell probably be bothered if you return it.

Even so, it was uncomfortable to say, Thank you. She hadnt had much contact with Earl Alcott, but Christina spoke as if to dispel her hesitation.

Cordelia-sama, I would also like to ask you to wear this dress.

Sister-in-law

Alright?

Christina encouraged, and Cordelia looked at the dress again. But, she felt anxious. She wondered if it was really alright for her to receive it and she also felt concerned about whether she could wear it or not. She would lose to the dress She didnt want to be in a situation where she had to wear it. Christina seemed to understand her worries.

Cordelia-sama, youd shine if you wear it happily. So please wear it with a smile and make your dress happy.

But

Im thrilled to become your sister. I was the one who chose this dress.

Cordelia looked at Christina, who was smiling, and replied in a small voice while feeling a little embarrassed, Yes.

The dress was so gorgeous, and she still thought that it might be too much for her, but Christina had chosen this for her, so she wanted to learn how to behave in a way that wouldnt spoil the dress.

And as the sisters smiled at each other, Cyrus spoke in an awkward voice.

Then, the next one is a gift to Christina from me.

He said as he took the cloth off himself.

A wedding dress emerged from underneath.

Cordelia was speechless, and Christina gasped.

This is

You said you wanted to wear a wedding dress made from flora silk when you were little, didnt you? I never thought that the Earl would give Cordelia a dress, so it seems like its a rehash, but

Cyrus said as if he was starting over.

I cant say anything witty, and I cant promise that we will become the ideal couple that you dreamt of. But, if I can grant your wishes, then I will. But sorry, I cant seem to express myself well enough.

(No, thats a great proposal, Onii-sama.)

As opposed to Cordelia, who was thinking that Cyrus didnt seem concerned at all.

But Cyrus wasnt the only one. Cordelia glanced sideways at Christina and saw that she was bright red. She couldnt see anyone but Cyrus.

Cyrus-sama, I know what you mean Please let me stay by your side from now on.
