Chapter 65

In this kindergarten, except for Alice, the only girls my age are me and the princess. The princess is much taller than her peers, probably because she inherited the royal bloodline. Alice, on the other hand, has such a small and skinny frame that even though she is one year older than the princess and me, she doesn’t look like it at all.

This is why Alice would probably fit if she wore my clothes.

It would be a little baggy, though.

After thinking quickly for a few seconds, I said to Alice and her maid, who were still puzzled and not sure what to do.

“Alice, if it’s okay with you, you can borrow my clothes?”

Then Alice looked at me.

Her eyes lit up as if she was crying silently even though she wasn’t the one who spilled the juice.

Alice hesitated for a moment, then she answered in a low voice.

“Bu-but I don’t know if I can wear Emir’s precious dress… What if I get the Lady’s dress dirty?”

“It’s okay, Alice. If it gets dirty, you can wash it. Moreover, a dress, no matter how precious it may be, is it more precious than Alice?”

As I stood up, I told Alice to go to the locker room with the dress.

Fortunately, the smart maid standing next to me led Alice along with me.

Alice panicked and said, ‘Uh-uh…’, and then she left the classroom with me.

“Alice, which of these three dresses do you like the most? Pick the one you like.”

Soon after opening the locker, I took out the dress that was hanging from the small simple closet inside.

These dresses were not chosen by me.

Maybe the nanny put them in when she was packing.

But it was too much for my taste.

Well, the dresses were gorgeous and had a cute style with puff sleeves, lace and jewels, and twinkling starlight appearing from the fabric.

‘Oh, nanny, it’s because I don’t like things with glitter and sparkles.’

I thought so to myself, but I changed my mind.

It was a good thing, though, because all the clothes that the nanny had carefully selected according to her taste(?) were suitable for Alice.

“I-I… uh, um, I don’t know. I’ll just go with what Lady Emir chooses.”

Alice faltered at my question and passed the decision over to me.

“Oh, really? then…..”

After hearing Alice’s answer and thinking of choosing her clothes, I was happy for a moment, but I was also deeply troubled.

Which would be a good one to lend?

This, that, and that suits her so well, don’t they?

Alice had blonde hair that looked like it had been smeared with honey, and she had silver eyes.

There were no clothes that were not suitable for her.

She would shine even if she wore plain white clothes, so what’s the use of pretty clothes?

But I was too conflicted to pick anything.

“Uhhh… what to choose…”

“La-Lady Emir. I’m really okay with anything…”

After I was in agony with a groan for over a minute, Alice muttered quietly next to me, reading the room.

It was then that I came to my senses.

I almost made Alice wait too long to choose a dress.

If she wears juice-soaked clothes, she can catch a cold, so she should change quickly!

Finally, I made a decision.

“Then, Lady Alice, wear this!”

It was a very cute, white cancan dress with a red ribbon attached to it, and a round frill collar.

It will definitely suit Alice perfectly.

Alice changed her clothes and returned to the classroom after a while.

“Then, Lady Emir, is this okay….?”

Alice was tilting her head, not sure if the dress would suit her.

In my opinion, although it wouldn’t have looked good on me, it looked beautiful on her.

As expected, this outfit suits Alice more than me.

Yes, my choice wasn’t wrong!

I put my two thumbs up towards Alice.

The best! The best!

“You look so good, Alice.”

Alice’s expression brightened at my praise.

“Ah……! Thank you. Lady Emir. I-I couldn’t even thank you for lending me clothes. Thank you very much.”

She bashfully smiled because she forgot to thank her for lending her a dress.

I was wondering what had happened, and it seemed she forgot to say thank you to me.

As I was looking at Alice, who was shy but seemed to be happier than that, I suddenly thought of this.

‘I want to give Alice a present. But giving gifts for no reason is kind of like, um. After all, I think the most appropriate excuse would be a birthday present.’

But there was a problem.

It seemed like Alice’s birthday was in the winter.

Since spring is just around the corner right now, will we have to wait another year until Alice’s birthday?

‘You’d be better off asking her yourself.’
