Chapter 71: 70th Dawn - Score for the Lady

After dealing with these two troublemakers of the Miranda's, Collette and the servants seem to start seeing me in a different light.

Ultimately, they shower me with praises and even tell me how I'm going to be a capable mother one day, which I think is a bit of a stretch since all I did was keep the twins from shooting their mouths off. How they treated the adults irked me either. But then, later on, I learn from the viscountess that they have been experiencing this kind of turbulence ever since her husband decided to oversee their education. It turns out that they're being smothered by their Spartan-like study regime and his stern way of going about things, which eventually shoves them to this phase.

"So, you see... It's my husband again. He wants to dictate our children's future like what he's doing with mine. To be honest, I'm starting to feel ashamed that Ms. Lillian just keeps on seeing our family's bad sides," Collette confessed with an apologetic smile.
