NovelEnglishThey suddenly felt a pang of guilt toward Calliope.
"Callie, if there's anything you want, just take it," Monty said, as if suddenly realizing she was his biological
daughter, while Lisette was merely their adopted one. The things in this house should rightfully belong to
Calliope.
"Really?" Calliope looked at them. "I'm hesitant to take anything. What if you accuseof deliberately taking
Lisette's stuff and picking on her?"
"We won't say that," Horafrowned.
"Go ahead and take what you like," Valerian chimed in, having cto a similar realization.
Even Ulysses, though somewhat dissatisfied, recalled how they'd often taken things from Calliope to give to
Lisette in the past.

They suddenly felt a sense of clarity, encouraging Calliope to take whatever she wanted. After all, Lisette was
known for being easygoing. If they explained it to her, she surely wouldn't mind. Sthings could always be
replaced with new
ones.
With this in mind, they beceven more generous.
"Callie, do you like this?" Monty offered. "I remember you were quite fond of it back then. Why don't you take it
to your room?"
"Yeah, Callie, just take what you like," Horaadded.
Valerian and Ulysses didn't say much, but they didn't stop Calliope from taking anything either. They all knew
Lisette was understanding. Even if her room was emptied, she wouldn't throw a fit. Just like Calliope used to,
when they would ask her for this or that, and she'd agree. If Lisette wanted more, they could simply buy her
snew things.
They needed to appease Calliope now, after all. They needed her to release Lisette, manage the family business,
and help with Horatio's legs.
Calliope didn't hold back. Even though she didn't particularly like these things, she decided to take them She
specifically picked the items Lisette cherished, just like Lisette used to do with her
After collecting what she wanted, Calliope turned to them and said, "I don't think
it's suitable for Horato be in that small room with his legs."
"I can give my room to him," Valerian quickly offered.
Calliope shook her head. "That's not suitable either."

They all looked at Calliope in silence, realizing what she meant. Clearly, Calliope wanted Lisette to move into the
small room. After all, back then, it was Calliope who had to move into a smaller space because of Lisette.
"Can't Lisette Stay in that room?" Calliope asked. "When we were kids, you said it might make her feel inferior,
being the adopted one. But now, hasn't she grown up? Haven't you helped her develop a better mindset? If she
hasn't, and she needs material things to feel secure, isn't that a bit of a problem?"
"Besides, an adopted daughter is still an adopted daughter. She knows that. If she
throws a fit over her status, who is to blame?"
Calliope's words left them speechless.
"But moving her room abruptly without telling her might not be right," Valerian finally said.
"You think it's not right now?" Calliope shot back. "And when | chto find my room turned into hers, that
was easy for me?"
