Chapter 40: Sauvell's Image
Translator: Masakibluei
Isabella: “By the way, Ellen dear. When will you meet the Royal Family?”
Ellen: “Hmm…6 days from now? Right, Esteem Father?”
Rovel: “………Yeah. AAAARGHHH. I hate this. Hate this. Hate this. Hate this.”
Father’s disgruntled voices are echoing inside the room. I’m amazed at how much he hates to go to see the Royal family.
When Father sees my amazement, he says,” Ellen is calm because you don’t know anything. That person will immediately make his move first.”
Ellen: “It will be fine, Esteem Father. If His Majesty does not yield, at that time, this country is simply will be destroyed.”
Father bitterly laughs at my scoffing.
Rovel: “……it seems that Ellen dear truly takes after me.”
Ellen: “That might be true.”
Rovel: “E!? Ellen, say it once more!!”
Ellen: “The fact that I resemble Father is vexing. “
Rovel: “WHYY----!? Ellen really takes after Father----It’s a given----”
The way Father said those words while hugging me tightly feel like a curse.
Honestly speaking, it’s annoying.
Isabella: “I see……it’s 6 days from now.”
While ignoring the exchanges between me and Father, Isabella grunts to herself. Her grunts make me wonder is something goes wrong. Therefore, I turn a questioning look at her.
Isabella: “Rovel! Please let me take care of Ellen for a while!!”
“HA?”, Father and I are simultaneously surprised due to Isabella’s sudden remark.
Isabella: “If you are going to meet the Royal Family, you have to dress up……!! Someone, please call someone!!”
Father and I are astonished at Isabella who is calling the maids.
Isabella: “Ellen dear, let’s call a tailor to get some measurement. Alright?”
Meanwhile, I am shaking in fear when Isabella turns her face at me with a big smiling face.
When I exhaustedly being measured by the tailor, Isabella is busy talking with the clothes vendor and choosing the fabric.
Isabella: “Ah, not this one……not this one too…”
When I finally able to slip away from the room, Sauvell wryly smiles and apologizes to me.
Sauvell: “I’m sorry Ellen. Mother has always wanted a daughter. Therefore, she puts so much effort into this. “
Ellen: “Grandma wanted a daughter?”
Now that I hear about this, I become unable to reject her request anymore. But this won’t end only by giving myself to her. Thus, I smile at Sauvell and abruptly say, “Then, next is Uncle Sauvell’s turn.”
Sauvell: “E……?”
Ellen: “Make over staff---!! Come here---!!”
Staff: “Ye, yes!? I am here!!”
Sauvell: “E, Ellen…?”
Ellen: “Don’t you think it’s unfair that I’m the only one who suffers? Therefore, I think Uncle Sauvell has to feel what I feel too. “
Sauvell: “E…?”
His voice goes really low and seems to disappear.
Ellen: “Esteem Father! If you do not want to suffer any damage for the second time, please restraint Uncle Sauvell!!”
Rovel: “Okay, Ellen.”
Father grins and restrains Sauvell.
Sauvell: “O, Older brother!?
Rovel: “Forgive me, Sauvell. I can’t win against my daughter. “
As Rovel’s smile and words confirm his suspicion, Sauvell’s scream can be heard out loud.
I give the maids some instruction.
Ellen: “Please use the towel that has been squeezed from the hot water and applies it on Uncle Sauvell’s eyes.
Maid: “Yes!”
Sauvell: “E……my eyes?”
Ellen: “Uncle Sauvel, you can’t sleep these days, right? The dark circle under your eyes are really bad. “
Sauvell: “A……”
He must have been so preoccupied with Aria that he can’t even take a wink of sleep.
Ellen: “The eyes must be warmed up to reduce the dark circle. It will make you feel good, so please be quiet and consider that I am doing this with goodwill.”
I stand by the bedside and carefully put the wet towel to warm up his eyes. After a while, Sauvell falls asleep.
Father who is surprised that the trick works, raise his voice,” Eh………Sauvell sleeps really well with so many people in this room……”
Sauvell works in the military, so his body is used to sleep very lightly and to awake by the slightest noise. I heard from the maids, that he often has a headache due to the lack of sleep.
Ellen: “It’s a given. He must have been so stressful. He needs to take some time to relax!”
At the moment, I’m driven by a sense of mission. As I start to gather some relaxation stuff around, Father takes notice of my action.
Rovel: “Ellen, do you still, have another scheme……?”
I puff in anger and shouts, “Esteem Father! I’m not doing something bad!”
Presently, I just want to focus on Sauvell’s well being.
Ellen: “Esteem Father, for now just wait for your turn later. Makeup staff, please do as I say!”
Make up Staff: “Ye, yes.”
Rovel: “………Next, is my turn?”
I leave Father who is stunned by himself and start Sauvell’s makeover project.
Originally, I have a babyface. In order to make myself look older, I put makeup on my face. Even though I wear high heels to increase my height, my body is small by nature. Consequently, my height is still pretty short even when I wear high heels. Nevertheless, I still think that makeup works really well to change your image.
Ellen: “How should we arrange the eyebrows…Do straight line from the nose to the outer corner of the eyes. Draw the eyebrows until this point. In the case of women, the distance between the eyebrows is half compared to men. Therefore, please draw the eyebrows only slightly in the inner part close to the start of the nose. A, just on top of the eyes, please shape it into a curve………Yes that’s it.”
For men, straight eyebrows make them look stronger, but in Sauvell’s case, corner and arch eyebrows make him look intelligent and gentle.
Ellen: “Most people think that makeup is only for women but it can also help men to shine too. By only changing eyebrows and hairstyles, those are enough to change the man impression. “
When I explain it, the makeup staff and Lawrence nod while murmuring,’hooo’ all the time.
Why Grandpa is here too …? I become puzzled with his sudden involvement, but in the end, I choose to ignore it. Perhaps, if I care about it, I the one who will be lost.
At this exact time, Sauvell finally opens his eyes.
Sauvell: “………Eh? I……”
Lawrence: “Master was fallen asleep for a while because of fatigue.”
Sauvell is blinking in disbelief over Lawrence’s calm answer.
Ellen: “Come now! Uncle Sauvell, if you are awake, come over here!!”
Then I call for the Barber who I have called in advance.
Sauvell: “E? EEHH??”
I press Sauvell who is still clueless to fix his hair. At the same time, I also give thorough instructions to the barber. After everything is finished, Sauvell becomes totally speechless when he sees his reflection on the mirror.
Ellen: “Uncle Sauvell, you look amazing-!!”
A magnificent stylish uncle has been born. All the maids are clapping while screaming in appreciation when they see him. Just by slightly doing a makeover on him, it changes the way the surrounding people look at him. He looks like a completely different person.
Sauvell: “E? E……?”
Then I speak to Sauvell who looks uncomfortable by everyone’s changing attitude to him.
Ellen: “As I thought. It’s Grandma’s gene.”
Yes, Sauvell who has transformed resembles Father a little bit. Previously he does not seem to look like Father, but now his impression has changed.
Ellen: “Uncle Sauvell, beard does not look good on you. Thus, please start shaving it from now on. I will strictly order the make up staff to keep taking care of you!”
After I finish speaking, Sauvell replies vigorously, “Ye, yes!!”
Now, I’m looking forward to his first debut after the makeover!!
However, Father who has been watching exclusively by the side, murmur to himself, “He was used as a toy to vent her anger, huh?”
His aggravating remark sparks my anger. What happens later can be left to one’s imagination.
