Chapter 444 - Show Business (6)

"I think she threw everything up," Ben pointed out the vomit on the ground.

I could barely crawl on the ground from their merciless hits. I couldn't feel my back anymore, the entire area numb. Alice started to clean the mess with a spell while the robots helped her. I knew I should have tried to run away when I noticed both of them staring at me at the same time. Giving up on trying to move, I chose to sleep on the ground.

"I'll move Rika to our bed," Ben lifted me.

"Bring some porridge with you," Alice ordered an easily digestible meal on the tablet.

"I need some cake," I squeezed out.

"Or add lots of sugar into the porridge," I requested as I was being placed on the bed.

"We don't have sugar with us," he passed me the bowl.

"I can't eat this without sugar," I frowned.

"At least try the porridge," Alice placed her hands on her h.i.p.s.

I almost vomited on their bed from the nauseating smell coming from the bowl. Alice sighed as she managed to float the remains and throw it out in the washroom. Ben decided to add more sugar to the porridge before passing the bowl to me again. This time, I pleasantly received it in my hands from the light aroma coming from the adjustment.

"How does Luke do this?" Ben sighed.

"I think he always carries her medications around," Alice made sure I didn't leave anything behind in the bowl.

"Did you eat anything strange this morning?" She noticed the small rashes on my arm when my sleeves slightly pulled up.

"Lucius did mention she had really s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e skin," Ben recalled.

"I have a dress from when my older sister used this room," he opened the closet.

"I can help tailor the dress," Alice found the size to be too big.

"Can you leave it how it is?" I liked how loose it would be on me.

"Let me take your sizes first," she pulled the blankets away.

While Alice took my clothes off me to start measuring, she gasped, almost turning to Ben. I wondered if it was because of how I looked like fairies. Unfortunately, ever since Jason had taken my identity, I started to resemble them in other ways like the kinds of food I liked to eat.

"Her arms and legs are extremely thin, even her waist," Alice's jaw almost dropped.

"I had to spend a few days at the infirmary this week," I explained how I wasn't usually like this.

"You need to make this dress half as small it already is," she worked on a spell.

Once I fitted into the dress, I was satisfied with how loose it still was. Ben's eyes widened as even though they tailored the dress smaller to make the size fit better, it still didn't quite reach my size yet. I wondered if all the dresses that came from their families needed such a tight fit. I searched if the dress had a family crest stamped onto it, tethering around the decision if I should change back into my old clothes.

"We can't get rid of the crest," Ben noticed me searching for it.

"I thought people couldn't wear other family's crest?" I remembered from being stunned at the second district.

"Without the approval from the direct family heir or the family head," he explained.

"Her waist is as small as an ant," Alice wiped some sweat when the dress touched my skin.

"You don't have to make the dress this tight," I found it no different from the usual dresses I wore.

"I think I know why Luke puts her in these dresses," she ignored me.

My reflection in the mirror was a beautiful doll with how closely the dress was fitted. Becoming a dress-up doll, Alice added some accessories on me as she started to admire her work. By the time she was finished, she couldn't help but take a picture. This was just like how Luke's family was like at their reunion together.

"Can I change back into my original clothes now?" My back was aching more in these clothes.

"They're gone," Ben turned the other way.

"I can't possibly sleep like this," I pointed out.

"I'll tailor more clothes for her," her eyes sparkled as she went through the items in the closet.

"Won't they get suspicious tomorrow?" I gestured to all the sparkling jewels.

"I can tell them it's your costume for the play," Ben reminded me my role was a princess.

"Are there more comfortable clothes in the closet?" I didn't want to be stuck with the same dresses.

"There's a nightgown," Alice passed to me after readjusting the size.

"Maybe a simpler piece of clothing?" I frowned at all the annoying frills and ribbons.

All my pyjamas were relatively simple. It was part of my negotiation with Luke that I had control over the designs in what I wore when there wasn't anyone other than us. I didn't like any decorations in general while Luke liked to see me wearing clothing full of intrinsic designs.

"We don't have any," Ben joined Alice in choosing the accessories to match the nightgown.

"I don't need a flower headband!" I rejected it in disgust.

"How about a light bracelet?" Alice slipped one onto my wrist.

"Only the bracelets," I mumbled to give in when her eyes sparkled with expectation.
