Even after Ellen asked Natasha, she did not quite understand what a mother was .
She had only learned that Liana was not a normal mother, but a stepmother .
After that, she asked many people what a stepmother was but the answers she received were similar to the ones she heard from Natasha .
It seemed stepmothers were people who indulged in luxury, bullied their stepchildren and adored their own children .
Liana became her stepmother due to certain circumstances, so she might be different from ordinary stepmothers but at the same time, she might also become the stepmothers from the stories .
However, from her father’s story, Liana was a poor girl who was assaulted by that perverted damn old geezer . She also had a hard time taking care of her younger brother and nursing her mother, so Ellen believed that she should be allowed to live in a little bit of luxury .
Besides, it was normal to love their own child and if the bullying went too far, Will or Saaya would step in to do something about it . Plus, it seemed like from Natasha’s story, if she endured the bullying, she would be happy in the end .
「Well, like the butcher jii-san (TL: grandpa, elderly man) said, you have to experience it to know it . (°▽°)」
Tom-jiisan, the butcher, had once served in the royal capital and experienced a lot of harsh bullying . He had told his stories to Ellen and the other children, and that only by going through those experiences, he had became who he was today .
In the end, Ellen still had not quite understand what a mother was, but she did at least requested Johann, the skilled butler of Theodore’s family, to let Liana indulge in luxury if she wished for it .
It was not an exaggeration to say that Johann had a tight grip on the Theodore family’s wealth instead of Will, the sick head of the house .
Johann had served the Theodore family since the generation of Will’s father and Will was no match for him .
Johann was close to 70 years old but he was still full of life . He was very strict towards Will but he was unusually kind towards Ellen .
Johann bitterly smiled but acknowledged Ellen’s request .
Ellen chuckled to herself as she could welcome Liana peacefully with this .
In the end, Ellen still did not change the idea of 「Stepmother = Ultimate Happiness」 in her mind and spent her days looking forward to the arrival of her stepmother .
