Chapter 4

Soon the maid approached and poured the tea into an empty glass. Perhaps thirsty, the Duchess gulped down the tea at once.

“I’m glad you’re here for an interview, though. I don’t want to have an interview unless you’re from another region because the rumors are all over the place.”

“Please, this tutor needs to last a long time.” The Duchess made a groan.

The proud academy tutor quit in a fit of rage, and the good tutor quit in tears.

The shortest quit was an hour after we met, and the longest period was two months.

“She did seem nice.”

“She’s gonna cry and quit, isn’t she?”

“She rather stops the crying than be angry.”

It’s a bit more enduring.”

“How can Abbey and her daughter be just as eccentric. I’ll just have to send you to the academy or the convent, meaning.”

What’s the big deal about dyslexia?

Money would do everything even if She didn’t study well. Isn’t the world the same?

It wasn’t a bad thing. When I first met Amber, the Duchess Do’s fairy, I decided to be a good stepmother to replace her mother.

It was Amber herself who dumped me. Amber’s nasty personality grew worse with age when she remarried the Duke at age seven.

She could not handle Amber and wanted to send her anywhere, but her husband wouldn’t let her.

“I know. She doesn’t even take care of his father.”

“Are you ready to go to the capital?”

“Yes.”

“We have to go before the tutor stops.”

There was still a social season left, but the Duchess intended to leave early for the capital.

It was not good to be with an old husband who was a good dog apricot, but it was even more painful to be with a bad-tempered stepdaughter.

I’ll go to the capital and relax with shopping and parties.

“Tell the butler to pay a month’s salary in advance so that the tutor doesn’t quit soon.”

“Yes.”

“Oh, and in two months, I’ll raise her salary by 50 percent.Treat  her according to the aristocrats who visit their lodgings. We have to hold her at this house somehow.”

“I’ll do as you say.”

The duchess  expression was as determined

Is that a doll or a fairy?

Elin was stunned and unknowingly opened her mouth.

The girl sitting on the sofa in a light purple dress was not a human figure.

It’s self-illuminating without sunlight.
