Small, Kind, and Cute [Part 3]

“Does the House of Bell not have an exclusive tailor?”

Duke-ranked households should naturally have a personal tailor, at least.

The House of Delacour had a tailor, one who had worked exclusively for them for a long time, but on occasions like this, when they didn’t have enough time, they needed to find additional assistant seamstresses.

“It’s because our House doesn’t make dresses that often...”

Arthur glanced at Marion and shrugged his shoulders.Reaad the latest stories on novelbin(.)com

The lineage of House Bell had been a gathering of knights for generations. Their men would prefer simply wearing their knight’s uniform even for formal occasions, and their women were all the type who stayed away from dresses as far as they could, like Marion. That’s why, unless they received a sudden invitation, like this time, they didn’t really need an exclusive tailor.

“It sounds tough, Marion-sama. I hope you find a good tailor.”

Francesca smiled bitterly as she saw Arthur being the one worrying about the dress for some reason, while Marion only nodded along to their conversation.

“Thank you! Francesca-sama. Even in the worst case, I will just go in a knight uniform, so you needn’t worry about me.”

” ” “Of course that’s not okay!” ” “

Francesca and the twins retorted instantly to the chuckling Marion. Arthur’s head was in his hands, as if to say ‘Enough, I beg of you, no more’.

Well, she certainly, undoubtedly looked perfectly good in a knight uniform, but going to the Royal Family’s evening party in male clothing was too risky. Much less with Marion being the daughter of a duke.

“Uhh, I’m confident that I will wear it better than the noble sons there... Come to think of it, how about Emma-sama? Are you not invited?”

Marion shifted her attention to Emma, who hadn’t joined the conversation for a while now.

“!!!”

The sweets Joshua prepared were always top quality.

He gathered sweets for Emma without any trouble, handpicking them from rare foreign countries and popular shops that even nobles couldn’t get their hands on.

It looked delicious... But financiers surely taste heavy after eating that many sweets.

Before Arthur, Marion, Francesca, or the twins could stop her, with a ‘nom’, Emma had already put a financier into her mouth.

“Mmm~! It goes great with black tea!! I will have another one...............!!!”

George and William stopped Emma’s hand as it reached for the second financier.

“Emma, let’s hold back from having any more.”

“Nee-sama, I just saw the waiter throw out a large amount of sweets wrappers earlier. There’s no way you ate all of that, right?”

‘Eh? I wonder what you’re talking about?’ While glaring at Emma, who shamelessly feigned ignorance, the brothers offered the remaining financiers to Arthur, Marion, Francesca, and the twins. But after seeing Emma’s appetite, nobody could take any more sweet foods... so they refused.

Seeing that no one was going to eat, with a ‘well then, another one...’ Emma stretched out her hand but was prevented by George and William. It took two people to stop her.

“...........can’t I just......have one more?”

Emma pleaded with moist, upturned eyes.

” “No!!” “

Even after directly receiving that insanely cute request, George and William both refused it ruthlessly.

Joshua, on the other hand, was clutching his chest, trying to withstand this stray bullet.

Are their hearts made of ice?

“But having a small, kind, and cute younger sister...... might have its challenges too,” mused Arthur.
