Chapter 47

“Kyaak!”

“Ugh..uh…”

“What the hell is this…. P-Poop water…? The smell…urk….. It went in my mouth!”

Astra burst into shock and ended up gulping it down. As Duke Arvida watched the scene unfold, he hurriedly shut his mouth.

This sudden situation made all of us harden.

Not long after, however, the smell filled the room as if trying to make itself known.

“Ugh…mpfh… What is this!” Astra was busy wiping her mouth and trying to spit out the poop water in her mouth.

“What the hell is this!”

Astra, who takes pride in her noble status, fell into anguish.

Rere always called her ‘poop’, but this time, she really turned Astra into one.

“I’m annoyed, so annoy….blergh!”

Duke Arvida, who still valued his life, hurriedly lowered his head to protect himself from the poop water entering his mouth.

Duke Ian and Luca cleared their throats and looked away from the unpleasant sight.

Of course, I did the same.

Rere tossed the bucket on the floor and ran to me cheerfully, but the smell of poop lingered on the child’s body.

“Rere, what is that…umph…”

“Why, rabbit? Do I smell?”

“…”

“…Really?” Rere hurriedly sniffed her arms to check if I lied. She then wrinkled her nose like a baby rabbit.

“Yes, and it’s really bad. Where the hell did you throw yourself into? Let me wipe it.”

I hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe Rere’s hands, which I believed was the source of the smell.

“Hee-hee. But it’s so refreshing.” Feeling excited, Rere rubbed her nose. “Such a bad smell!”

The smell made her even more excited that she began to jump around.

“Rere, that’s why I told you to wipe your hands first.”

“Uh…uh..it smells so bad!”

“Not as bad as them though…”

“Yes.”

The child burst into a smile. Our eyes reached Astra and Duke Arvida simultaneously. Those two were still having a difficult time processing and handling their current situation.

‘The smell is worse over there.’

But no one could talk or get close to them.

They struggled like a mouse in a trap. The foul scent got nastier each time they moved.

What the hell is that? It smells so bad…

“Rere…what the hell did you bring?”

Tee-hee. The giggling child put her hand on mine.

“Wipe it off.”

“But no matter how much I wipe it, if they don’t leave…”

Only then did Astra tremble violently, perhaps returning to her senses.

At that moment, Luca embraced us and took us toward the window even though Duke Ian was much closer to Astra.

“Are you all right?”

“Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it. His grace would do the same if he was close.”

His smiling eyes turned to Ian. Just like he said, Ian stood in the spot where Rere and I stood earlier. As a result, his body got sprinkled with the poop water from Astra’s body.

Was it because of that?

Or was he angry because Luca took the initiative first?

Duke Ian’s face was brutally crumpled.

Emotions disappeared again on the face that once contained compassion.

“Because of trash like you, this nasty smell is now stuck on my clothes.”

“…Ugh…uh..”

“How dare you splash poop water on me.”

Having realized that it was futile to wipe off the dripping poop water, Duke Arvida stayed still, unlike Astra, who was wiping off the poop water on her body frantically.

Duke Arvida barely raised his head after confirming that it was all right for him to move.

“Who is supposed to be angry here?! Who?!” The angry Duke Arvida wiped his face with a clean handkerchief.

“J-Just now, what have you done to me!”

Duke Arvida belatedly shouted due to the ridiculous situation and scowled at us with a face filled with disbelief.

However, Rere wouldn’t be herself if she were to back down now.

“Why are you asking! I fed you poop since you’re also one. Hihi.”

“Fucking bitch! I’ll teach you a lesson! How dare a beggar like you! How dare you pretend to be a princess and do this to me!”

Duke Arvida screamed as if he wanted to hit the child.

“How dare you say that to my daughter!”

Seeing him blurt out harsh things with ease to a mere five-year-old made me furious. I quickly held the child in my arms.

“What did you say?”

“Don’t talk spitefully to my daughter! Unless you’re crazy!”

For my child, for Rere, I stood tall in front of him.

Meanwhile, Duke Arvida glared at me with a displeased look.

“Heh? This wench seems to be mistaken that she’s the real duchess!”

“I’m not mistaken, it’s the truth.”

“Ho-ho. It’s the truth, you say? You’re not even an aristocrat, yet you’re talking down to this great Arvida! You’ve got quite the nerve, huh?”

“I didn’t mean to do that. Ah, it’s because you suddenly dropped the honorifics. For that reason, I thought you wanted to talk to us casually. Duke Arvida. I’m a duchess now, so I don’t think you can speak that way to me either.”

“What did you say?”

“In any case, I’m sincerely giving you advice. If you keep doing this, you and your daughter might get poisoned by the poop water and die.”

“What?”

I grinned and stroked Rere’s head.

“This poop water is a lot more poisonous than I expected. I don’t know what kind of poison my cute daughter brought, but you might die if we leave you alone.”

I frowned at him, pretending to be benevolent and kind.

So get out of here. I don’t want to see people die in front of me.

“You….you damn bitch…!”

Duke Ian, who was watching me stand tall before Duke Arvida, stepped up as if he couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Knights, get those things out of my sight immediately.”

“Kyaaaa! I can’t see… My eyes hurt! Ump….. What the hell is this…! Father, father!”

Meanwhile, Astra was slowly moving toward Duke Arvida.

“Go away! Go away!”

Duke Arvida, who was in a slightly better condition, tried to shove his daughter, but he ended up tripping and fell to the ground.

“Eugh..ugh..!”

Astra, who couldn’t see what’s ahead of her, walked in the direction where Duke Arvida’s voice was coming from.

“Father, father! Help me. My eyes hurt…my stomach…”

Astra couldn’t see his father lying on the floor, so she eventually tripped over her father.

“Kyaagh!”

“Great. The trash is piled in one place. Now that the carpet is dirty, roll it up and put it in their family’s carriage.”

“Yes, sir! Urk-!”

“Ugh, smelly.”

“Le-let’s clean it up.” The knights held their breath and began to clean up the carpet.

“D-duke!”

“Father!”

“It’s all because of you. When I get back, I will deal with you right away!”

The two were busy exchanging words of affection with each other. Meanwhile, the knights also covered their noses as they dealt with the two, perhaps because they also find the smell terrible, and quickly dragged them out. Only then were we able to breathe.

“Phew…”

The servants and maids who came inside were busy opening the window. Thereafter, we were able to breathe deeply.

“Now, let’s go see the dress.”

Before I knew it, Duke Ian was already in front of us and held out his hand to Rere.

“Should we go now?”

He smiled. But when he held Rere in his arms without much thought, his expression quickly turned sour.

“Oh. Rere. You should wash up first.”

“…Rere is not smelly anymore! Ugh, it’s really smelly! Big Bunny already wiped it for me, but it still smells so bad!”

Rere quivered at the terrible smell coming from her body and pinched her nose.

“Rere. Let’s wash up with mom. I think mom smells, too.”

Just as I thought, I smelled terrible since I had been hugging Rere the whole time.

“I’ll have to wash up as well. I think the smell has permeated.”

If his daughter poured poop water on someone, he should have said something about it, but he was busy caring about his hygiene.

Eventually, I had to return to the room with Rere in my arms. The nanny, who waited for us with a restless expression, quickly prepared the bath.

“What the hell was that, nanny?”

“Rere will explain! Big bunny is so nice that she is clueless about revenge. She’s very soft-hearted, so I tried to rack my brain this time for a better method because I was afraid Big Bunny would collapse if I did something else to those assholes.”

“…That’s…”

“Yeah! I told the nanny to prepare poop water just in case! Hehe. Rere did well, right?”

What else could I say to a brightly smiling child?

“Did you hate those people so much?”

“Yeah! I got so angry when I thought about them slapping my Big bunny last time.”

I thought it was because of what they did to her, but the child was looking up at me. Snot was running from her tiny nostrils.

“Isn’t it because of what they have done to Rere?”

“Well, I’ve had a lot of that happen to me… The previous nanny hit me a lot. The previous moms I had also said a lot of things about me. But Big bunny is different! They shouldn’t treat her like that!”

I felt so stupid. I couldn’t believe she did it for my sake. The child who had a bigger wound than I did smiled radiantly like it was nothing.

“I’m really okay!”

‘It’s not okay. How could anyone be cruel enough to hurt this small child?’

I embraced the child in my arms.

“Rere.”

“Yes?”

“Mom will protect you from now on. Mom can be really mean, you know?”

“Really?”

“Yes. So from now on, I won’t hesitate to pour poop water if anyone ever bothers our Rere.”

“Great. I think Big Bunny has finally come to her senses, so I should spoil her.”

Rere lifted her tiny feet and kissed my cheek.

“Did you just…kiss me?”

“Yup! So Big Bunny, my mom, will you protect me from now on?”

“Yes!”
