I Became The Stepmother Of An Irrevocable Dark Family

do you keep asking? And I’m not a doll.
I didn’t do what my nanny told me to do, It’s my own idea.
You fool!”
“Yes, it must be your idea.
It was you who told the maid to prevent me from finding your room, right?”
“Yes! That’s not what my nanny told me to do.
That was my idea!”

‘Even though her attitude is not agreeable in the first place…..The more she explained, the more I felt as though the child is being controlled by the nanny.’

Rebecca probably considered her nanny, who has been taking care of her ever since she was a baby, her family.

Perhaps other families were also like that.
If the children of noble families listened to their nanny, then the nanny could really become the big shot in their house.

Maybe that’s why she was so confident.
As I was immersed in my thoughts, the door, which had been closed for a while, suddenly opened.

“I have brought your meal.”

Rebecca’s face, which was buried in the rabbit doll, stuck out.

“Bring it to me.
I’m going to eat too.”
“No.
If you want to eat, come to the table.
You’re not even a baby, do I need to feed you one by one there?”

Thereafter, a warm soup was placed in front of me.

The soft scent of potato was more appetizing than ever.

“Ha.
You really think you are something!”
“It’s because I am something, Rebecca.
I’m worried about you.
If I didn’t care about you and had plans to leave you, would I even bother myself to try to fix your behavior?”
“…”
“Then I would’ve stayed quiet instead.
I would have done what your nanny told me to do and just sit still.
Perhaps if I did as she pleased, I might have lived in comfort just like a real madam of the family.”

In the meantime, I moved my hand and ate the potato soup with a shiny silver spoon.
The taste was wonderful.

Leona’s body was thrilled because of this incredible meal after eating bread the whole week.

“…Do-Don’t be ridiculous! You’re going to leave.
I don’t believe you! You are here because of money!”
“So you have heard the rumor.
That’s right.
That’s why I can’t leave.
It’s because of money, and I want to change you, too.”
“…You can’t leave? You’re not leaving?”
“Yes.”

My spoon had already emptied out all the potato soup.

“…Really?”
“Yes.
There’s no way you would let me run away when you paid for me.”

I want to run away, too.
With all my heart.

It would be better to kick me out.
Perhaps if I treat Rebecca like this, she might kick me out instead.

Then, the closed door opened with a loud noise.

“What a splendid first day.
The nanny ran to me and said you made a ruckus.”

The Duke, with his hair all tangled up, came to me in an instant with a look of anger.
Behind him was the nanny, who wouldn’t let go of me.

A woman with swollen eyes pretending to be a victim.

“A ruckus? I don’t think so.”

The Duke’s gaze quickly turned to the child.

“It’s indeed a ruckus.
My daughter, the owner of this room, is still buried among the dolls, and you, who need to take care of the child, was casually eating?”

The conversation between them was obvious even if I didn’t see it myself.

The finger of the angry duke was pointed towards Rebecca.

“Ah, that’s right.
It’s good that you came.
It’s seemed to me that your daughter was ignored by her own nanny.”
“What?”
“The nanny over there, what did she say?”
“You don’t have to know.”
“Of course, I don’t know.
She must’ve spoken nonsense.
She might have said that I was abusing the child.”

At her words, the Duke’s lips trembled as if it was true.

“Are you confident?”
“Yes, because I’ve never abused the child.
I was just taken aback when the nanny said that she was the big shot of this house.”
“A big shot?”
“The child also heard it, so you can ask her directly.
You’re not that kind of father who would trust the nanny more than the child, are you?”

The Duke, who looked displeased, finally moved towards the rabbit doll.

“Rebecca.
Tell me, whose statement is true?”
“…Why! Why are you making a fuss about me!”
“Did somebody abused you?”
“I’m not abused! It was my idea!”

At the unexpected words, the nanny hurriedly came to them.

“Miss, please tell me.
She was abusing you, right? Huh? Sh- She didn’t let you get out from here, right?”

The nanny’s trembling voice seemed to give a clear indication of how she had treated the child all this time.

With a fascinating sight in front of me, I savored the bread.

“What!”
“You need to say it.
Did that woman say something weird while I was away? Why did you change so much?”

In the past, this much persuading was enough to make the child obey her, but now, the nanny’s eyes were filled with shame.

She was busy talking to Rebecca to prove her innocence, while anxiously waiting and biting off her long fingernails.

“No!”
