It was an ordinary outdoor dress with no other decorations.

Ill also wear jewelry, so its okay.

Lucy frowned at my words, and Scarlett understood her confusion. It wasnt like Scarlett to wear such a modest dress to an extravagant banquet.

In addition, the ducal couple would have stopped Scarlett if they knew what she was planning. After all, they valued their reputation as nobles.

Yes, but

With a hesitant tone, Lucy tried to dissuade Scarlett.

Isnt His Majesty your fiance? Maybe you should wear a dress that shows some ankle or

Lucy. Are you worried about our familys reputation? Dont worry. I think Ive already caused it to go as low as it can go.

Of course, it wasnt the fault of the current Scarlett.

In the story, Scarlett was abused at home by the duke and his wife, and she relieved her stress by acting poorly outside.

Before she loved the tyrant, Scarlett was definitely wild.

The rumors werent good, and there was a reason why the original Cheryl was so skilled at putting Scarlett in her place; the ducal familys prestige was already low.

Well, true, Lucy replied.

Did I do a good job of impersonating Scarlett?

Then, theres nothing to worry about.

Scarlett quickly snatched the shabby dress Lucy was holding.

This is good.

In fact, the pale pink dress was very pretty by Scarletts standards.

It wasnt needlessly tight like other party dresses,

Since the waistline was high, there was no need to worry about Scarletts stomach slightly sticking out.

..I cant breathe.

Hehe.

Scarlett attempted to make a Scarlett-like, provocative expression and put the dress on.

Ah, its pretty.

The corners of Scarletts mouth threatened to curve up, but she managed to stop it.

Arent you tired of wearing pretty dresses?

Scarlett had a miraculous beauty that could pull off any type of clothing.

Its a shame itll be covered in wine in a few hours. Anyway! Pretty clothes are amazing!

Okay, Miss.

Did Lucy just click her tongue? Or was I imagining things?

***

Scarlett headed to the first floor with Lucy, who had a resigned expression.

Every servant Scarlett encountered paused in their tracks.

Those are satisfactory reactions.

Now, no matter how many ornaments Scarlett added, she was still comparatively shabby, and even the shoes she chose were low-heeled.

Its still pretty, though.

Scarlett had bright blonde hair and ruby red eyesthe haughty features of a cat.

Her height was average, but she had a good body, so even modest clothes suited her.

Scarlett doubted the peach-colored dress was worthy of her looks. She was too beautiful for it.

Everyone knows Im pretty, anyway.

Yes?

Lucy, arent you proud, too? Im worth decorating.

Lucy sighed again at Scarletts playful antics.

Scarlett laughed. She hummed as she headed downstairs.

The eyes of Duke Armand and the Duchess, who were waiting for Scarlett, flashed as if they would pierce her.

Izar, her half-brother, looked at her with his mouth slightly agape.

Izar Armand. He was Scarletts half-brother.

When they were young, they fought fiercely, but their relationship became awkward over the years. Of course, whenever they met, they clashed with each other.

But of course, whenever they meet, they would clash with each other.

Shut your mouth before a fly goes in.

For some reason, Izar seemed to be listening obediently to Scarlett.

Ignoring his seemingly ridiculous glance, Scarlett climbed into the carriage.

The cushion was comfortable as to be expected from a wealthy family.

Along the way, the gazes of the three people lingered on Scarlett.

Of course, she shot them back a sour glare.

Why? What? What do you want?

Only

She didnt put up with it because she was scared.

I was trying to avoid getting dirty.

Of course, she did everything she could to talk back.

The past month and a week had been hell.

Scarlett stared coldly at the duke and his wife, who she couldnt see well.

Huh.

When Scarlett first entered this body, she explored every corner of the mansion, so naturally, she had run into Scarletts parents a few times. And every time, theyd greet her with a warning or a harsh remark.

The Duchess treated her daughter like trash and even tried to kill her in the novel
