To quench their hunger before washing them, the Duke sent two glasses of warm milk mixed with honey.

‘It’s all thanks to the milk, but milk with honey!’

Lia held the glass tightly with both hands and drank milk side by side with Diana, wondering why this was such a luxury.

Then all of a sudden, I saw a circle of milk marks on Diana’s lips.

“Dana, you got something on your mouth.”

“Sister you have it too!” Diana laughed and said as she wiped her lips carefully.

Surprised by that, I was startled and touched the corner of my mouth, and there was really milk on my face.

I quickly wiped my lips, but I felt embarrassed pretending to be an adult without knowing what was on my face.

My body was young and weak compared to my mental age, still things didn’t work out as I wanted. 

Diana smiled bashfully, as if she saw my embarrassment.

Laughing along with the embarrassment, I suddenly heard footsteps approaching the door.

‘Is it Duke of Elrad?’

The door opened at the same time as I got up to avoid him seeing the current situation.

“…Huh.”

It wasn’t the Duke who opened the door.

The person I saw when I barely opened my eyes after jumping out of the attic and losing my consciousness.

The woman with her hair tied high, followed by the female servants with warm baths came in.

“Hello, little ladies.” Said by the woman in a cheerful manner.

The woman was someone I didn’t know even from my previous life.

‘She’s not from the Rexion Knights.’

The shimmering outfit inside the black robe aren’t even the blue uniforms the Rexion Knights usually wear, but I’ve never heard of a female knight in the Rexion Knights.

Diana, who was also looking at the woman, curiously, seemed to not know her either.

The Duke of Elrad, who takes care of his daughter dearly, must have sent the woman as someone he could entrust Diana to.

I thought she was a wizard because I felt her magic subtly, but I felt confused because she exuded an atmosphere like that of a knight.

But in the midst of that, strangely enough, I didn’t feel any dislike towards her.

‘On the contrary…’

“Now, who will wash first? The person who washes fast eats first!”

“Food!” Diana shouted.

As soon as the woman finished talking, Diana took off her clothes and rushed to the bathtub.

Seeing that, the woman who burst into laughter turned to glance at me with a friendly gaze.

I avoided her gaze as the corner of my chest was somewhat ticklish. This feeling was so awkward and unfamiliar.

Fortunately, that feeling didn’t last long. It was because my attention quickly turned elsewhere.

As soon as Diana jumped into the bathtub, they washed her hair in foam and began to soap her hair with a soft sponge as if the female servants had been waiting, and it was so fascinating to see Diana accepting their touch without showing any signs of embarrassment or discomfort.

Watching Diana enjoying the bath while popping bubbles innocently, I was reminded again that she’s accustomed to being served because she’s a noble.

And a moment later, washing off all the dirt, I saw Diana transformed to her shiny silver hair and fair skin, and I took a deep breath without realizing it.

“Dana, you’re so pretty.”

It wasn’t that I was ignorant of the Duke of Elrad’s distinctive appearance, even though I had seen Diana growing up close.

My heart ached at the cuteness and loveliness of the 4-year-old child, with plump limbs and soft cheeks.

It was then…

“Teehee, Sister Lia is prettier!”

At Diana’s sudden remarks, not only the servants but also the woman who was preparing the clothes beforehand turned their heads and stared at me.

Aside from my dirty appearance, my face was red because I knew myself better than anyone else, with my unsightly messy hair and skinny body.

“Your name is… Lia?” Then the woman asked in a slightly subdued voice.

I nodded my head quickly to hide my embarrassment, and glanced at Diana, who had dried herself and changed clothes.

It was a dress worn by commoners as if the servants obtained it in a hurry, but Diana was as cute as a princess who went out to see the world.

“Sister, wash quickly, let’s go!”

And the princess ran straight outside, jumping as if she could not overcome hunger.

“…?”

Lia tilted her head.

Because the female servants and the woman who I thought was going to finish tidying up and leave the room soon were staring at me.

I was also hungry, so I was going to wash up with the leftover bath water and leave quickly, but why are they staring at me not leaving? How could I wash myself like this?

“Hey, I changed it with new water, so hurry up and take off your clothes and come in. The water is going to get cold.” Then the woman asked in a quizzical voice.

“What?”

“Everyone is waiting to wash you.”

“What? You’re also going to wash me?”

When I asked, unable to hide my embarrassment, the woman stared at me as if I was asking something obvious.

“I can do it myself!”

As if my words sounded baffling, the woman suddenly burst into laughter.

“Yes, yes. You’re all grown up, so you can be brave on your own. But with help, it’ll be faster. You must be very hungry.”

At her soothing tone, Lia’s ears heated and turned red.

‘I’m not a baby!’

…Although it’s a child’s body!
