She blinked her eyes several times to clear her hazy vision as she rubbed the remainders of sleep from her eyes. After she roused from her slumber, she stood up and dragged her feet off the bed.
She found a mirror on the wall, and the shiny mirror reflected an image,
Thick chubby hands, sausage-like plump arms, fluffy cheeks and a body that does not move at will.

No matter how she looks at it, this tiny body belongs to a four-year-old. She stared at herself in the mirror and thought,
'Again. I'm back again. I can't believe I'm going to live again in this crappy world.'

My name is Leblaine. In the beginning, my life wasn't a mess. I was the only orphan born on 29th February also have divine power, for that reason, I am called 'the child of fate'. I surely am lucky.
Just by sitting on the Empress Dowager’s lap and choosing one of her portraits, I became the child of my chosen family.
There were three options.
1. The Duke of Amity, a warrior of justice that protects the Empire.
W̆ё b n о v̄ е̌ l Е̄ ńum̈ȧ
2. The Duke of Vallua, a well-known family that produced a thousand scholars.
3. The Duke of Dubblede, who possessed great military power and businesses, but was called the worst of a villain’s family.
The family chosen in my first life was Amity. He was quite a good father. As a prudent, just and rational person, I followed him with respect as a new father.
It was a peaceful life until she showed up, the real child of fate. In fact, I was a child of false destiny. Unlike me, who trained for three or four hours a day, but failed to develop my divine power properly, Mina was the perfect ‘child of fate.’

Mina was dazzling like the sun. She was loved by everyone even the Duke of Amity. Father and Mina were attracted to each other like fate, eventually with the Pope’s help, Mina became father's second daughter.
During the drought, she called the spirit and prevented the war through her foresight.
Ѐṅ û ṁ ӓ. і̌d̃
And I…
I was sacrificed for Mina in a ritual to seal the evil spirit.
I was happy when I first returned. I thought it was an opportunity given by God.
For the second life, I chose 'The Duke of Vallua.' I was badly abused by the duke of Vallua everyday.
He was the real bad guy. He used to hit me with his hands, saying it was for education. He only dressed me extravagantly when I went to the palace.
So was the last day in my second life. I was abused by him and hit my head on the edge of the desk, but when I opened my eyes, I regressed again.

In the third life, I ran away. But what can a child do? While going through hardship I died of starvation.
After three reincarnations, I realized something.
'Yes, this is wrong. So let’s defect.'
As soon as I thought so, the door burst open, as an old woman dressed in splendor came in. She put me on her lap and gestured. Soon the maids brought in three portraits.
"It's time to choose your father"
She smiled very kindly. But I know the truth. The moment I turned out to be a fake, these eyes which gazed at me warmly turned to be so cold. The Empress stroked my hair and gave me the portraits.
E ńū m̀а̃
"Here child of fate, choose one."
When I saw the three portraits, I was very nervous. I closed my eyes with my chubby fist.

'Let's calm down. I need a place to stay anyway.’
'I can't just die being a beggar like I did in the past. I need a family that can let me live quietly and then defect without worrying about starvation or death until exile. That's the kind of family I’ll choose.'
'Then this time--'
"Oh my god."
Е́n̆ûm̆_а́ . і̊ d̈
The maid and Empress who saw the portrait I chose, opened their eyes wide.
When I arrived at the family’s mansion along with the Empress’ letter, I saw a man who would be my father and gulped.
'He's really handsome.'
He had a sharp jawline, mesmerizing cyan blue eyes, a high nose bridge, well sculpted lips, a wonderful figure concealed by a shirt, tall height, and broad shoulders. What was strange is that such a beautiful man's eyes was that of a killer.

In conclusion, who I chose was the Duke of Dubbled, the so-called villain. The man's lieutenant stood beside me and said in a very awkward tone.
"The Empress asked you to raise the child."
Е̄ nû_m̌ á . i̇ d
The Duke of Dubbled, touched his chin with his long fingers and replied,
"She become senile."
Then he made a declaration without hesitation,
"Send her back."
"But Your Excellency, it's a chance to fix your relationship with the church. Rejecting the Empress’ request at once will complicate matters afterwards."
This is the only place to run away after growing up to a certain extent. Amity, who is a responsible person and Vallua, who values honour, will not even give me a chance to run away. A man who was not interested in me is perfect to be my stepfather.

'Of course it is the only way.'
I patted the lieutenant's trousers with both hands.
"Thews's an unnounaunced tyax awdit on decyember sebent.” (There is an unnanounced tax audit on December 7th.)
"Huh?" Asked the lieutenant,
He didn't seem to understand me. He looks surprised by my sudden babble.
‘It hasn't been long since my return, so my tongue isn't working properly.'
Е̌ num̌ ã
I saw it clearly in my previous lives. This winter, the tax evasion master Dubbled, paid a huge fine. The Duke has three sons, so I think he can understand me well. People who had dealt with children would understand my babbling quite well.
I had this kind of hope but quickly gave up. That cold-blooded bastard wouldn’t have grown his son with his own hands.

'I wish I could write, but I'm not good at it, so It can't make a difference.'
The Duke carried me in a blink of an eye. His eyes were so sharp as if he was suspicious of me.
"There's a tax audit on December 7th?"
How did he get that? I was confused. I pretended to be as innocent as possible, just in case he thought I was not a child.
Е́ n ŭ mӓ
"Uh-huh. Shh, It's a secret."
"Nos."
The Duke looked at the lieutenant.
"To what extent are the account book organized?"
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
"... A four-year-old child. Do you really believe her?"
"You can't believe a four-year-old child who knows the word unannounced tax audit?"
Ĕ n ǔmа̌
"I'll check right away."
After answering so, the lieutenant ran out of the room quickly. The Duke and I looked at each other.
‘He’s really scary…’
Even though he has an excellent appearance, wealth, power, he still doesn’t have a wife. It must be because of that...
It must have been difficult for woman to approach him. Soon, the maids entered the room.
"May I help her to take a bath?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Yes."
The woman bent over with me in her arms, and I left the room being carried by her.

Ch.2
The woman who took me into the bathroom smiled and carefully stripped me out of the uncomfortable clothes.
“Call me Lea, little miss.”
“Yes.”

“From now on, we will have fun playing in warm water. Are you looking forward to it?”
“Yes.”

“That’s great!”
Lea patted me on the back. Soon after the maids came in, they started to wash me. It was very comfortable because I only need to sit in the warm water.
It was a little hard for me to hold back from touching the soft foam.
‘I have to behave myself.’
W ê_b.n ō v́ е l̃ Е̌n ūm̄ a
The naughty child will be hated. I knew that the help of the servants was essential for a child who was not cared for by their parents to live.
The maid’s hands movements were very quick and skillful. So I finished bathing quickly,
‘The Duke of Dubblede is a bad guy, but he's not trash like the Duke of Vallua.’
He didn't hit me immediately like the Duke of Vallua, and he assigned maids for me. The Duke of Dubblede was quite favorable in my eyes now.

After the bath, Lea dressed me in comfortable clothes. The clothes that the Empress Dowager's maid put on me were very uncomfortable because they were fancy and big.
While Lea buttoned my clothes, other maids were talking.

“Did our master really decided to adopt her?”
“Even if it's the Empress Dowager’s order, he's the type to do whatever he wanted.”
“But she's a child of fate.”
“About that...”
The maid glanced at the door and whispered.
“There are many opinions that this is a misinterpretation. The amount of divine power inherent in the baby's body is so low”

This was the reason why Duke of Vallua treated me carelessly. There were a lot of people who didn’t think of me as the child of fate.
“It's not something to say in front of the baby.”
Lea glared at the maids, and gave me a mug.
“Come on, drink it.”
Her sweet voice made me a little relieved. It's hard to live if I was ignored by my servants, like in Vallua’s mansion back then.
I could taste something sweet in my mouth. Lea looked at me gently and wiped the chocolate around my mouth.
Ẃ ӗb̄nо̆ v̆ ěl̂ En.ŭ mà
“Now shall we go to the master?”
It was a pity that I couldn’t scrape the chocolate off the bottom with a spoon, but I followed Lea.

‘I have to be a nice child. Compared to my previous life, this is heaven, and I loved it. The Duke doesn’t care about me, he didn’t raise his hand to me and he give me a cup of chocolate. It's best for me to stay here before defecting!’
‘But I didn’t think that the Duke will easily adopt me. He's a man rumored to be cold-blooded. And it didn't seem to me that the rumors were wrong. But I can’t just give up. I didn't want to die after being beaten again by the Duke of Vallua. It is also no good to be sacrificed and die due to starvation.’
Lea took me to the Duke’s office. When we entered, I saw the Duke talking to a man who seems to be an officer. I got out of Lea’s hands, I ran and hug the Duke’s legs. Lea was startled, but the officer noticed and tried to take me away from him.
‘But I don't want to die miserably again. I don't want to go back. I'll be an obedient child. I'm not going to do anything troublesome.So please--‘

Then he grabbed the collar on my clothes and muttered,
“Don't distract me,"
I quickly grabbed his neck and rubbed my face on his cheek.
“Dyuke I lwike you!” (Duke I like you!)

The Duke was frozen in his spot.

Е̂n_û ṁа̂
The Empire of Wigentra was famous for its vast land. There are many people in power, and there are three most powerful powers.
<The Nelliard church.>
<The Imperial Household.>
<5 Dukes>.
The three formed an equilateral triangle, which keep each other in check to achieve the prosperity of the Empore. This triangle has undergone significant changes. The Duke of Dubblede, the only family that pushed out the 5 dukes, took the last place. The Dubblede’s manor boasted great feats indeed.
They own a stone floor without a single scratch and hexagonal columns with delicate patterns. Luxurious chandeliers were showing off their presence on the ceiling. Many tresures were placed in decorative cabinet on the wall. There was also a huge forest that surrounds the North tower. But the Duke of Dubblede, the owner of the enormous mansion, was not an easy man.

‘He wouldn’t adopt me for my cuteness. Fortunately, it wasn't a total failure. Even if he didn't want to adopt me, he still gave me a room to stay for a while’.
If I had been kicked out right away, I will be in Vallua’s mansion right now. I covered my mouth with my fist and laughed.
I really liked the room the Duke of Dubblede gave me. There was no time to be bored because there were many toys and playmates, he also gave me a warm and cozy bed.
It's been ten days since I stayed in this mansion. I was also paying my rent steadily.
“What else did the ‘hat lady’ said?”
“Orihalkwon is in di old plawtew.” (Oriharkon* is in the old plateau.)
En ũm а́
“Oriharkon!“
The vassals were shocked by the news. I sat on the Duke’s lap, while staring at them.

“It's amazing. How can you be so smart?”
“That's why she’s the child of fate.”
The vassals laughed. My conscience pricked me.
‘In fact, I am the child of fake destiny. It wasn't like I could remember pre-regression memories at will’
E ǹüm̀ ä. і d
It's hard for me to do ‘adult thinking’ with my current immature brain.
If I tried to do adult thinking with this body, I would either sleep for days, or I would feel extremely hungry. When I was hungry or sleepy, I lost control and acted completely like a baby.
One vassal was about to touch my head, I was so surprised and hung my hands around the Duke’s neck.
“She’s a very shy child."

As the old vassal laughed and said that, the vassal that tried to touch me retract his hands.
“It's amazing that she’s able to stay close to you.”
E̊ ń u m̄ а
“Other children will be overwhelmed by your atmosphere and cry”
“Can you tell us the story of the altar and Imperial family?”
The reason why I only talk in the Duke’s lap was because of my trauma. I was abused in my second life and I became scared of adult men
‘It's weird if i put it that way, because I felt comfortable with the Duke of Dubblede.’

Ch.3
“She’s very obedient too”

More vassals soon entered the meeting room. In the meantime, I sat still on the Duke’s lap. And when they had questions about the church and the Imperial family, I answered them.
After a while, the meeting ended. The vassals left one by one, and a grandfather had remained and approached me.
“Thank you for telling me this story.”
‘No, it’s okay. It benefits me in a way.’
I had a lot of resentment about the church. When the child of real destiny appeared they sacrificed me. Besides, they can't dig up the oriharcon from the plateau.
“Here's a present."
Еnum̃ a. і̌ d̀
The grandfather offered me a candy. I slipped my hand out the Duke of Dubblede’s arms and pulled out the candy. The grandfather left the room with a big smile, saying,
“Oh my, this child is very cute.”

There's only two person left in the room, me and the Duke. He suddenly glanced at me, and took away the candy.
I was shocked and looked at the Duke and the candy several times. And soon I felt very sad.
‘Candy, my candy. You son of a bitch, you're taking away a child’s candy!’
The Duke of Dubblede gruesomely peeled the candy wrapping at once. And...
Е̃ ñǔm̂ а̄. id̄
“Open your mouth.”
‘For me? Did I misunderstand him?’
As soon as I thought so, the Duke pressed my cheek with both hands. Because of the pressure, my mouth opens up, so he put candy in my mouth.
‘How rude.’

Still, the candy was delicious. He pressed my cheeks again, which was full because of the candy.
“Do you want to go back to the capital city?”
Е̂ n u mа
“No.”
“Why?”
‘Why should I be back to the capital city? There are the Imperial family, the church, and the bad Duke. All of them are people who have troubled me.’
However, I couldn't tell him the reason, so I told him,
“Becwase I’m like thye dyuke. (Because I'm like the Duke.)”
So far, the Dubblede was the only family that had not left me with sad memories. They left me with very good memories insteae. The candies he gave me was so delicious. The blanket he gave me was warm. Lea’s lullaby was good to listen to.

The Duke of Dubblede wasn't as evil as I’ve heard. Thinking so, I saw the duke. Did he just smile?
Then, Lea came to pick me up.
"Little miss, master.”
Lea said while lowering her head. The Duke raised me for Lea to pick me up.
“Don't let them wander noisily.”
‘Yes. Such a cold-blooded man would never have smiled.‘

Back in the room, I stood in front of the table and play with the blocks.
'Okay, one more and it's the 12th floor. One more. Just one more!’.

The maids, who watched me play alone, were chatting.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes.”
When Lea nodded, the maids covered their mouth with their hands.

“Oh my god.”
“No way."
“Did the sun rise from the west? The master is worried about the baby."
Who cares about me? I was surprised and my the blocks fell.

“It's alright, little miss. You can put it back up.”
Lea said as she gathered the fallen blocks and put them up slowly.
“Please tell us more Lea.”
“That's right. What did the master said?"
Yes, tell us. Lea opened her mouth while building the blocks for me.
"It's dangerous at night, so take a good care of the baby."

‘Why did she think like that?’
I was amazed and impressed by her positive thinking.
“Then wouldn’t he adopt the baby?"
“I hope so, and she’ll be happy to have brothers."
Ah, three children of Dubblede. They were famous since I was young. They all showed off their good looks, martial arts skills, intellect, and cool personality. I've never seen them before, but I've heard enough of their reputation. They were also known for another thing, ‘Mina's brothers.’
They were as cold and indifferent to others like the Duke, but they were as sweet as honey to Mina.
Ě n u m а . іd̂
It was a famous story that when Mina was kidnapped by another Empire, they rushed and crush that place. The eldest son was also famous for being entangled in the Crown Prince and Mina’s love story.
“But would it be a bad thing for the baby to be adopted?”

“What?”
“You know.The master is a man who has even stabbed his late predecessor, and it's emotionally good for her to be adopted by another Duke—"
"Linda!"
Lea shouted and glared at the maid, sent the other employees away with a nod. Then she held my hand gently and said,

“It's a big misunderstanding, he’s really nice!"

“The master is not that cold-blooded, like what the people say. He loved and cared for his late wife. When the Duchess was in labour, he rushed back here but it was too late.”
Lea’s eyes was full of grief. The Duchess was pregnant with her fourth child? I didn't hear that before in my past lives. I suddenly felt sorry for the Duke.

‘Then I understand the how the Duke is like this. How can he live properly after losing two people he love at the same time?’
“I hope you are not afraid of him. “
“Yes.”
Lea, who held me carefully, stroked my back gently.
“You're really nice. "
She said to me as I closed my eyes slowly, leaning my head against Lea’s shoulder.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that I put my head in the pillow and struggled to contain my hunger.
‘I'm hungry!’
I rolled my head a lot to remember what had happened before, turns out I didn't eat my dinner. Lea and the maids seemed to have put me to sleep without waking me up.
I thought I'd wait until the morning, but I couldn't bear my hunger.
'All I had in the afternoon was candy and a glass of juice.’
The only things that occupied my mind right now was hunger.
Е̂ n̈ uṁ à .і̌d
In my second life, I remembered being trapped in a room every few days and then was left in hunger. In my third life, I remember dying because of starvation.
‘I have to find any food and eat it.'

In the end, I lost control, and I got out of bed. I struggled and pushed the huge door as I went out into the hallway. I endured my fear of the darkness and came to the kitchen, but the door was locked.
'Oh my god.'
I roamed the mansion again. I walked for a long time before I could find a bread in a room. It was cut in half as if someone had eaten them before, but I was satisfied with this. Holding the bread in my arms, I ran out to the hall excitedly.
'I need to return to the room and eat-'
Е̇ń ǔ mа̇.
"Gasp!"
I hurriedly hid the bread behind my back. The Duke of Dubblede was looking down at me with cold eyes. I was so scared that my hands and feet were shaking. At that moment, I remembered the something Mina had said in my past life.
“So Jean is guilty of stealing bread, uh, what was it— Jean Valjean. Yeah, I think it was his name. How did Jean Valjean punished for stealing the bread?— yes, he was executed!”
As Mina's bright voice came to mind, I became pale.

“What are you doing here? Did Empress Dowager sent you to spy on my family?”
I gulped. The Duke of Dubblede was not someone I could deal with. Unable to answer due to fear, the Duke of Dubblede murmured.

“Child of fate.”
“Yes...!"
“I hate people who lied, also the naive ones, especially those who pretended to be on my side. All of them are executed.”
I shuddered at the thought. The duke bent his knees slightly.
“What should I do with this little mouse?"
I fell down because of my nervousness.

I ate a cookie with tears and a runny nose. My mind was blank at that time. The Duke of Dubblede is a petty guy. I can eat the leftover bread. Why is he so angry about it? I looked at the Duke sitting opposite of me with a resentful look.
Lea, who brought me the cookie, said with a guilty look,
“She went to bed early and she couldn't eat. So..."
“So she picked up the bread thrown away by the servants.”

After feeling somewhat full, I reached my hand out to Lea.
“I'll go..."
I wanted to finish the cookies. But I don’t want to see the good Lea get scolded by a bad guy!
At that time, the Duke stretched out his hand to me as well. The Duke’s hand, which was about to pass the rest of the cookies to me, stopped in the air...

“What's wrong with her?”
“I think she’s scared of getting scolded a little while ago.”
Lea is right. I was just awfully frightened being threatened by the Duke. His gaze alone makes me nervous. So I said,
“I’m gwoing back.” (I'm going back.)

“Little miss must finish her meal, so you must go back!”
She looked like a knight attacking a group of army alone. The Duke stared at me, and I hide behind Lea's arm. Soon he nodded.
As soon as he went away, Lea carried me as we go to my room.

Then, she left my room quickly.
Her face is pale and her lips are shaking. Lea, as a servant in his mansion, may have watched how cold-hearted he is.
So imagine how scary is it for her to act like that.
‘A person like her is a little rare.'

I was thrilled. Lea took me to the room and brought me something to eat. It was a milk porridge with chestnuts in it.
I patted my stomach after emptying two bowls of milk porridge.

“I'm sowwy that i kweep gettwing hungrwy.” (I'm sorry that I keep getting hungry.)
Lea hugged me with a tearful face.
“Don't say that. Little miss needs to eat sleep a lot."
She laughed as she put me to bed.
"Have a good dream, little miss."
After eating, I woke up after being asleep peacefully. I felt bad for Lea last night, so I decided to show her my cuteness.

”Nea, like!” (Lea, I like you!)
The maids were excited when they saw me hugging her legs with my chubby arms.
Lea’s mouth corners went up.
Suddenly, a maid who looked at the door became stiff and soon all of the other maids have the same expression.
‘Gasp, that’s the bad guy!’
The Duke of Dubbled and his lieutenant were staring at me. I hurriedly hid behind Lea.

“Try to call her name nicely. So that the baby can come out."

The Duke was silent. He stared at me and frowned for a moment.
I shook my head inwardly.

‘Uncle, that bad guy doesn't even know my name.'
I was here for ten days yet he has never called me by my name. He only called me by weird nicknames. He must have never red my biodata sent by Empress Dowager.

“Leblaine.”
the Duke called my name.
‘He knows my name?’
I was so puzzled that I just blinked. The Duke had a famous story that he didn't even remember Mina’s name even though she been in the palace for more than three months. It was amazing that the Duke remembered my name.
‘But it's not like he's interested in me at all.'
The Duke spoke to me again

“What's wrong? come here.”

“Are you gwoing two hit me?”

‘You did, you’re hitting me with your words. With words.’

When I looked at him with a look full of distrust, he took something out of his pocket. It was a lollipop.
“There's a lot of this over here.”

I lost all reasons and ran to him.
Somehow, there seemed to be a arrogant smirk hanging around his mouth.
Yes, he would have been a surprise that a child sent by the Empress Dowager sneaked around the night. I also told him stories of the Imperial Palace and the church.

'How many candies does he have? he’s rich, maybe there’s ten.’
He carried me as he walked in the hallway. Every time they saw us, they were shocked as they stopped doing their job.
It was a natural reaction.
The Duke, who had already stopped walking, dropped me off in front of a door.

‘There must be candies here!’
I opened the door with high expectations and went in.

I was shocked, I gulped when I saw candies filled in the room. I glanced at the Duke.
‘Can I really eat all of this?’
I ask for a permission through my eyes, the Duke said monotonously.
“Eat as much as you want.”
‘Oh my god!’
I rushed to the pile of candies. There were many candies that I could even swin in kt.

There were things like a packaged chocolate or marshmallow. I tore off the shiny golden wrapper and ate it.
‘...It's so good.’
The Duke frowned after being shocked for a while. I had no time to care about such a thing. Do rich people eat this delicious thing every day?
The sweet lumps quickly melt into my mouth, and the fruit syrup quickly engulfed my mouth.
I ate many of them quickly.
Every time I chewed, my cheeks became chubby and shook.

I quickly finished one and ate another candy.
This time it was a stick candy.

I was trying to put the candy in my mouth when I felt a someone glancing at me, so I hesitated.
I looked at the Duke.
‘If I ate alone, I’ll be loathsome.’
Didn't I realize when I was a beggar? Even with a single food, I could build affection when the food was shared. So I gave a candy to him.

“I’ll gwive it two you.” (I'll give it to you.)
He glanced at me and narrowed his eyes in confusion.
“Why?”
I didn’t say anything as he slowly opened his mouth again.

“You’re strange.”

He’s a bit annoying.
‘I will hit you with a candy while pretending it was a mistake.’
I thought about it, but I remember about my goals and calmed down.
'I really need the help of this bad guy if I don't want to die miserably.’
I need to build up a good relationship with him.
In my past lives, I was not experienced so the result was not good, this time I have an advantage.

I thought to myself as I jumped into his arms.
“Dyuke, twank you fow thwe candwies.” (Duke, thank you for the candies.)
The Duke was shocked but then he started to smile.

After the bread incident, it was peaceful.
The only thing that happened was when Lea found out that she had forgotten to give seven candies that the Duke had given to me.

But today was different. I was dolled up with the hands of the maids since morning. It was a huge children dress.
On top of that, I wore lace socks that came up to my calf, shiny shoes and they also tied a ribbon on my hair.

"Come on, let's see how comfortable it is.Try walking, little miss."
As I was struggling to walk, the maids shouted, "Whoa!"
Dubblede’s servant was not as bad as Vallua’s servants, but they kept making me nervous. However, in order for me to live comfortably the servant’s hospitality is essential. As soon as I got here, I sucked up to the maids.
“Lwinda’s hwere!” (Linda’s here!)

I've captured the person in charge of my daily records.
‘Now, even if I'm hated by my family like Vallua’s time, the maids would secretly pamper me.'

When I saw the maids who were adoring me, I was proud to think of all the hardships I suffered from.
'But why did I dress up like this today?'
I asked Lea , who was smiling affectionately at me.
"Me gwoing where?” (Where am I going?)
“You will attend today's meeting. Master said he would introduce you to the vassals.”
'Introduction?’

I saw some of them, but they were not formally introduced to me. I thought he didn’t have to introduce me if I was going back to the capital city soon.
So...

'He must be keeping me here for quite a while!'
I followed the maids with a shout of joy in my heart.
But there were people in the hallway who I never saw before. Lea answered me when I looked at her.
“They're children to be sponsored.”
Е̃ ñ u m̃a
Aha, there must be a sponsored child selection on the agenda for today's meeting.
There was a support system in the aristocracy.
It is to cultivate gifted children from an early age and then develop them into the talent that the family wants.
‘Who's going to be sponsored this time?’
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
If they’re sponsored by a noble family like Dubblede, they must be a famous child prodigy.
When I entered the meeting room, I could see the vassals surrounding someone. He’s pretty big to be called a child. At first glance, he looked like an adolescent boy.
Е ň ũ mӑ . і̀d
The boy was buried among the adults and could not be seen in detail, but I could hear his voice clearly.
"Hello Mr. Dubos, Mr. Martin, Baron Lux, and...”
The vassals grinned as if they were pleased with the polite little boy who had memorized so many people's name.
"Little Jude is becoming more intelligent day by day."
"My father told me that I have to study hard to become like Mr. Dubos!"
Dubos laughed and patted his shoulder. Then, one of the vassals notices me.

Back then, I told them about the story of the Imperial Palace and the church, there were some vassals here who were also there at that time.
'I'm going to show it to them.’
“Hello”
As I greeted them mimicking how an adult acted, they laughed.
"Oh my, you learned how to say hello.”
When some vassals approached me, I began to see the face of the child who had been hidden.
Е ǹumа
I stiffened when I checked the child's face.
‘Marco Jude.’

I know that kid, very, very well.
Because he was one of the worst people I've ever met! When I lived as the child of Duke Vallua, I attended an academy for a while. Back then, Marco was my professor.
He was a young and ambitious man and a good professor.
But to me....
Е̄ n ǔ mа́
‘There was a lot of flirting.’
He was aiming for the position as the son-in-law of Duke Vallua. He touched me inappropriately. He also hugged me without my consent, I couldn't stand it when he tried to kiss me, so I filed a complaint with the academy.
But they drove me away as an assailant.
"If this guy seduced you and offended you, why didn't you file a complain from the beginning?"

"If you didn't like it, why didn't you scream?.”
‘I was scared, so I couldn't even scream.’
Ẁе b ñо̃v е l̆ Е́ n̄ um̀а̇
"Then why now...I guess you didn't like it when you thought about it again. Are you a gold-digger?”
My protest didn't work.
He was stopped for only six months because he touched a student, and I was forced to leave the academy under criticism for being promiscuous. After that, I was deemed as a disgrace to my family.
Just thinking about that time, I wanted to get revenge.
He's still a kid right now. But he’ll be a scumbag in the future!
'Let's calm down. If I acted like that for no reason, adoption's out of the question.’
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Then, the Duke of Dubblede came into the room. As all of the people bowed down.
The first order of the meeting was to review the sponsor candidates. Sitting at the back, Marco went to the podium.
"Oh my, you're already solving that level of math problems?"
"Yes! You have to be familiar with numbers to enter the board of audit and inspection. But math itself is fun. I made some formulas with my teacher...”
‘Liar...’
It was ridiculous for me to know his future.
Wе̂ b̌ n̈.ov_ěl̊ Еǹu̇ m̊а̄
Far from joining the Board of Audit and Inspection, Marco Jude joined the faculty of the marginal academy. So he was a fool who boasted to me that he had such a great network. His father Baron Jude laughed proudly.
Judging from the friendly atmosphere, the selection of the sponsored child seemed to be carried out according to the wishes of Baron Jude and his wife.

After the Q&A session, Marco returned to the seat next to me. He looked down at me and whispered.
"You see that, kid? You'll never beat me.”
What?
I looked at him because I was dumbfounded.
E ń ů mа . í d̄
He's keeping a four-year-old in check....
Marco Jude seemed to think that I came to the meeting because of the sponsorship screening.
His face is full of excitement because he wants to crush his rival. He looked reminiscent of when he was a professor at an academic institute.
'Well, maybe you think the Duke of Dubbled has left me alone so far, so I'm going to end up with what he wants after not adopting.’

He continued with a grin.
"You, they said you were a poor kid?"
Еnŭm̂á.і̆ d̊
“........”
"I heard the Empress dumped you in the the trash can called Dubbled. It's the same as being a trash.”
Marco, who said so, went laughing, and I clenched my fist. I was dumb in my previous life. I didn't know anything, and being thrown away alone was scary.
There have been many times when I bowed down without being able to say a word like this. But I'm not the one who's dying three times, now i’m living my fourth life.
And I really bit Marco's arm.
"Argh!"

While he was lying on his stomach with his arms clenched, I quickly clenched my fist and punched him! Puck!
"Aah! Aah!”
As the scream rang out, more people or employees guarding the hall rushed in amazement.
People immediately tried to tear me away from Marco, but I pulled out a bunch of his hair before I fell off.
“What are you doing!”
the vassals frowned at me and Marco.

"That little thing that made me...... me, all of a sudden...!”
On the other hand, I calmly straightened my index finger at Marco.

Of course, it was gruesome to make a fuss before the duke’s eyes, but it was better than looking like a fool who was just being beaten.
But it was strange.
Why it's so quiet around here ?

“That’s enough.”
His low voice got tangled in my earlobe. It was duke Dubblede.
When the Duke's gaze turned to Marco, Marco shrugged and the duke opened his mouth again.
“She’s the child under my protection,"
The muttering voice was chilling. Marco, was flinching without realizing it, forgot to make excuses and swallowed dry saliva. Baron Jude then approached, saying, "Wait, sir."
"It's unfair. Don't you think so? My son wouldn't have called you that way...…!"

The duke of Dubbled approached Marco. A hand clasped Marco's chin.

“Prove what you say is true, even if you're tongue-tied and your eyes are dug out.”

"Of course, when you can't prove it, it won't end with just you.”

There's no way he can prove it.
‘You're just telling him to die.'
Marco became blue and hardened, and the gaze of the Duke sank deep.
"I’ll ask again. Is my child's words false or true?"

The duke’s pressure was not something an ordinary child could handle.

Marco's hand trembled like an aspen tree. His trousers got wet, and traces of yellow flowed down along the ankles.
“Tru,...truth.”
In the end, Marco complied.
Baron Jude's face turned blue. His son admitted so, he could no longer even make excuses.
The baron falls down and turn his head down.
"Sa,....Save me, your excellency. I have sinned to death."

When the duke let go of his hand, Marco, who had lost all his strength, rolled on the floor.
“Get rid of them”
The soldiers ordered by the Duke swarmed in.
In the meantime, Baron Jude and Marco shouted, "Forgive me......Your Excellency!". But the duke’s expression was not very good.
The duke has remembered them properly, so it was probably hard for them to live in the empire.
As I was watching them dragging Marco and his father, the vassals gathered around me with a new look on their faces.

"How admirable. "
“It was spectacular to see the child stand up to the big boy.”

"Calmly explaining the situation,It was great.”
The vassals poured their compliments on me.
It seems that the misunderstanding that ‘I jumped at Marco, who dared to call Dubbled a trash’ has not been resolved.
My conscience pricked me, but I decided to think positively.

The vassal, who said that, had a very kind look on his face, but I crept on the back.
‘It's my first time seeing you.....’
I stepped back with a wary eye and the other vassals burst out laughing.

“But isn’t she being held by the duke?”
"Well, it’s okay if the child likes you.”

'Because they've come to like me.'
They seemed to be very proud of me who ran to a big boy with a small body for Dubblede.
And when it caught the eye of the powerful, there was a remarkable change. Even administrators and managerial employees have begun to pay attention to me.
Originally, I used all the things that the employees picked up in moderation.
I was going back to the capital soon anyway, so there was no reason to buy "goods for me."
But when I got the attention of the management staff and administrative officers, I could buy some household goods for myself.

I was very excited to come out to the shop with Lea and other maids.
The shopping district of Dubbled was a paradise.
It is beyond comparison with the one Vallua had.
There are even specialized stores that can only be found in the main streets, so it is fun to see.
‘There's a toy store.'
This is a lot more luxurious than the toys of the other store that the aristocratic children are looking for.

The children hugged their toys one by one and left the store.
A five or six-year-old little lady wearing a large bonnet was hugging a doll that looked very soft.

'That's right. They’re releasing that doll by now.’

"Fwather, I want twhat doll. (Father, I want that doll.)"

The Duke of Amity, who clasped his trouser, said sternly.

“Shall we go get a toy?”

It seemed like my child's brain was shouting, "Buy me!" But I closed my eyes tightly.
I tried hard to look away and pointed to another product. It was a red carnation corsage.

When Leah looked at me with a curious look, I answered with my fingers wriggling.

While walking down the hall, the vassals had a light chat.
"Oh, it's a carnations corsage. Did you get one from your daughter?"
The vassal, who was wearing a red corsage, pulled out his chest triumphantly.
"Yes. Tommorow is a day of thanksgiving.”
"I'm proud of you.”
The vassal, who was looking for a chance to show off, bragged about it.

"You're right.Carnations are the ultimate happiness.”

"Your Excellency will also receive carnations. I'm sure you felt that happiness then.”
“I don't know.”
“What?”

"None. Never got carnations.”
In an instant, the office became cold as if it had been poured cold water on it.

The vassals swallowed dry saliva as they watched the Dubbled, who said,
“I had three sons, but I haven't even seen carnations."
The Duke and the three Confucius were beautiful and talented enough to be mentioned countless times, but they were cruelly cold-hearted and indifferent.
It is not a relationship that wants affection from each other in the first place.
"No, that......boys aren't usually meticulous. There are a lot of things that go beyond just saying thank you for raising me.”
“I've never heard such a thing.”

Then another vassal came out and tried hard to patch up this talk.
"What's important about words or carnations? On Thanksgiving Day, just hugging each other is enough.”

The Duke of Amity, the father of my first life who was not interested in it, was polite with a small amount of gift.
But the Duke of Vallua even borrowed money to prepare the gift.

“Why not? My father and mother will be happy if you ask me to buy them. Where's the parent who doesn't like children asking for school supplies?”
“But why did Leblaine get scolded?”

“She’s not his own child.”
That’s when i knew

I'm not their own child, so I'm hated for trivial things, I have to try desperately.
'Now I have to do something that will appeal to the Duke of Dubbled.'
If you didn’t act good, the adoption will fly away.
Thinking so, I entered the duke's office. The Duke, who was sitting at his desk, felt my presence and raised his head.

The silver-rimmed glasses, which were worn to look at the documents, matched the blue eyes perfectly, and my tongue was tied.
But is it because of the glasses? Somehow he looks more fierce than usual today.
When I clung to Nos's leg, Nos smiled awkwardly.
He sat me on the duke’s couch and whispered, so that the duke wouldn't hear.

"He’s not mad at you."
"I think he's angry at himself who's looking forward to it...….”

Nos said, with a tearful look.
‘What the hell’
"Please prepare two carnations next time.”
Ah....... Only then did I realize it and I was stunned.
All the money bought at the store belongs to Dubbled. It must be quite expensive since I’ve picked a lot of things.
‘He must have been upset because i didn't buy any for the duke even though i spent a lot of money.'

I should have just bought two corsages. He seem to really like carnations.
But that was already past.
‘Let’s do something to please him instead.’
'Which of the things I know can help the Duke?'
I was struggling, and I saw something on the sofa table.
Inside the luxurious jewelry box was a stone.

'Why is the stone kept in such a luxurious jewelry box?'
It was as soon as I tilted my head.

My lungs tightened with vibrations.
Nos’s voice crumbled and the speed around me felt remarkably slow.
As if time in the world and i are passing differently.
A swarm of light flowed over the black stone and soon scattered quickly to form a line. Soon it became a six-star star in which two triangles crossed. The spine gave me goose bumps in an instant.

Something crossed my mind.

A voice that feels like it's seeping right into your head without piercing your ears.

Only then did the voice of Nos, which had been crushed, and the slow gesture return to its original state.
Nos muttered in a stiff voice.
"Is it an earthquake?”
But the vibrations fade away in an instant.
the Duke drew the curtains and checked out the window.

"Send an expedition to Mount Rubbs. It could be a sign of a volcanic eruption."

While the Duke and Nos were talking, I pressed my chest with a pale face.
My heart was beating so fast that I couldn't breathe.

And that voice that keeps going through my head.

'Wha, wha, what!'
Unwillingly, I looked at the Duke and the Nos.
’Wha,wha, what to do!, what to do!’

I was appalled by what Nos said about the stone in the jewelry box.
'This is Newt?'
When I turned blue, Nos said with an embarrassed look.
“Sorry, sir. This was not her fault, but the storage condition was not good. Otherwise, the Newt won’t suddenly become a powder.”

Nos tried hard to find excuses, but the face of the duke was not resolved.
Holding on to the hem of the skirt, I grabbed the duke’s sleeve, shivering.
“Wo,wong....i dwidnt mean to... (Wro,wrong.... i didn’t mean to....)”
However, the duke shook my hand and frowned.
A sigh flowed from his lips

"Don't bother me any more and go back to your room”
“Ugh....”

As soon as I groaned, my body tilted and fell under the chair.

In the dark I was looking at the back of Duke of Amity.
My father, who is benevolent, careful and just.

The Duke of Amity gave me a room to stay in, taught me the mission of the nobility, and dined together, but only to that extent.

Lea brought some new clothes for Leblaine, who sweated a lot in her sleep.
The maids followed her and wept.

“Is the baby all right?”
“I heard the doctor doesn't know why. What is going on?”
Lea sighed.
"Because she gets sick for no reason. Once you've given her a fever reducer--"
As soon as she opened the door saying so, some clothes fell from Lea's hand.
Leblaine, who was supposed to lie in bed, was nowhere to be seen.

As the maids panicked and muttered, Lea cried as if screaming.

At midnight, a light came on in the area of Dubbled Castle.

Leblaine wriggled her hand when she saw Lea holding her.

The guards who were stationed around the area ran out for water, and finally Leblaine was seen properly.
Her pajamas were covered with dust, and bare feet without shoes were messed up with scratches and dirt.

The young body, which was heavily rained on, trembled, and its lips were blue. Leblaine has staggered behind Lea and walks to the Duke.

It was the red flower in the trembling hands.
“Ywo like cawnartion (you like carnation.)”

Thanks to the thunder, I knew there was a carnation in the garden outside the window. So I hurried to find the flowers at once.
It rained cats and dogs, but it didn't matter. I had to do something not to be hated.
I looked up at the duke with a frightened face. After a long silence, he hugged me.
‘Euagh!’

But the Duke carried me into the castle without hearing anything.
‘What are you going to do with me?’
I prayed my best, but it can't be solved by a bunch of flowers that broke Newt.
However, the place where the duke entered was the bathroom.
‘Is it a water torture?’
I was so scared that I got so stiff.

The Duke stretched out his hand after he put me in the bathtub.
'Falling in!'
I closed my eyes reflexively. That's strange. It wasn't painful.
When I opened my eyes carefully, I saw the duke with one knee bent.
Soon after, he took my foot. I was amazed at what he was trying to do.
He started wiping my feet. When the water touched my feet, i flinched.

I thought I'd be in trouble now, but his mouth didn’t open any more.

Soon we left the bathroom. When the door opened, Lea, who was anxiously waiting in front of the bathroom, ran quickly.The Duke handed me over to Lea and said,
“Go and apply some medicine.”

“Yes?”
“Medicine.”
“Oh, yes, medicine!”

I spent a few days in suspense after that. But the Duke really didn't scold me.He didn't tell the empress about the Newt, nor did he send me back to the capital. There was not even an expression of anger. In addition. 'He didn't throw away the flower I picked.'
It was not a carefully grown flower, but a single wild flower bloomed accidentally, laying on the grass in the garden. But the wild flowers were in the vase of Duke Dubbled’s office. When I saw a wild flower with a bunch of fluffy flowers in a super luxurious vase, I was touched. ‘What are you thinking?'
If it were someone else, not the Duke,
you must have thought about not throwing away the flower that a child plucked in the middle of the night. ‘But you’re the duke of Dubbled, aren’t you?’ The Theodore Dubbled, who slaughtered innocent people.He’s been a little soft on me since that day.
'This is so delicious!' The chicken dish cooked with sweet sauce after mixing the chicken with various spices was really delicious. The meat is soft and the sauce is sweet and salty.

“.......”
What's wrong with him? ‘Do you want to eat it?’. I slipped my arm over the plate for fear that i might lose my precious chicken leg. Then the duke’s eyebrows wriggled.
'That's so mean, so mean.' You're eating all those big lamb steaks by yourself, but you're even going after children's food. I was really grateful that he let the Newt case slide. Newt was a precious treasure. When it was in the hands of the emperor, the pope visited the Imperial Palace and asked for it to be kept in the church. Not only precious for its historical values, but also its use was endless.
For a long time I decided to alternate chicken legs and duke. I bit my lips tightly and I broke the chicken leg I stretch out my hand
“I’ll gwive it to you (i’ll give it to you.)”
He narrowed his eyebrows as he watched me waggling chicken legs with a sad face.

“What.....”
A short laugh came from his teeth.

"I want to open to see what's in your head."
Are you really going to open my head? I clenched my head with both hands in fright.
“Owpen it and ywo die! (Open it and you die!)”
Then came the sound of laughing by the door. It was Nos that was carrying papers. He coughed in vain as the duke’s gaze turned to me.

"It's a list of the possible emperor’s present”
"What will replace Newt?”
"We've got a pretty good deal from the traders.“
“I've been informed that it’ll be arriving here as early as this afternoon."

It's a replacement for the Newt. I don't know, but it's probably too expensive to imagine. ‘I’m glad you guys found the replacement though.’
If Dubbled is insane enough to give Newt to the emperor, it must mean that there is something to be received from the emperor. If the deal is broken because of me, adoption is no good. The goods found by the trading partners must be really good.
Е́ n̆ úm̂а̄ . іd_
‘But i haven’t heard at this time that traders brought in something that was worth the Newt.’ I casually muttered
“Twade...(Trade...)”
And Nos grinned
“Are you curious what the trade is?”
“Ung?”
“A trader is someone who sell goods between countries.”

Come to think of it, I thought it was a difficult word for a child, so I said, "Wow!" and pretended to be surprised.
“You want to see the trade?”
“Yes.... that’s wight. (Yes, that’s right.)”
I'm not really curious about the trade. But what kind of goods did you bring from the trade?
"You can take a look at the items. There's a lot of unique stuff, so it'll be fun to look around."
Of course I'd love to, but.. I glanced at the duke. I was wondering what to do if you asked me if I was going to ruin the stuffs,but I didn't say much. ‘I'm glad I gave you chicken legs.' Soon, The Duke and Nos left the restaurant to talk about the Emperor's Birthday. I decided to go to the library with Lea and other servants to kill time until the trading partner came.
En üm а
"You haven't seen library in the Dubblede’s castle, have you?"
“Yes.”
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"It's full of books. Of course, there are a lot of them."
My eyes almost popped out when I entered the door that Lea opened.
‘Oh my god.’What a great library!. Even the ceiling of the room, which is the size of a horseback riding field, was far too high. The staircase continued in the form of a vortex through the center, and countless bookshelves were placed on each floor. You can't find an empty space on a long bookcase that seems to be easily over three meters. I turned to the fairy tale section, looking around the library, which boasts of its immense prestige.
“Now, pick one!"
Е́n̄ǔm̃ а
said the maids, with a glistening eyes. It was the eyes of parents who looked at what kind of books their child would like. I was pushed to the front of the bookshelf by the burdensome gaze. I have to pretend I can't read yet, so I'll just pick a book with a pretty cover. While looking around which book was the most colorful, I found something unusual and blinked. ‘Why isn't there a title for this?' Besides, it was only half the book left, and the other half was cut off. I tilted my head and opened the book. 'It's not a fairy tale.'
The most holy achievement of the Founding Emperor Frid 1 was to defeat this class, the power of evil spirits. According to Ivan's records, there are two conditions for the manifestation of the evil spirit. The first is contact with the new material, which is the key to awakening potential forces, and the acquisition of a medium that enables the exertion of power.
That was the end. The rest were cut off, so I couldn't read more. 'What is it, so short.' Then Lea asked.
“Little miss, did you choose?"

I quickly let go the book that I was holding, and pulled out any book next to it.
“Let’s go back and read it in a fun way.”

I took Lea’s hand and left the library. The maids had great storytelling talent and performed brilliant acts, yet my mind were occupied by something. I kept thinking of the untitled book I read in the library. 'Why is the content related to evil spirits?'. The evil spirit was also related to me.
The righteous god, the mother of the Empire, sealed the evil spirit, the source of evil for humans. But the seal became loose over time, and needed the power of Mina, the child of fate, to re-seal the evil spirit.
'And I was the sacrifice of the ceremony.' The ceremony was so painful that I wanted to kill them as soon as possible. When I recalled it, my face darkened, and Lea looked at me with a worried look.
“Why do you have such a sad face?"
I couldn't say I remembered my past memories, so I rolled my eyes and said.
“Bewcause I’m scawed of lions ( because I’m scared of lions.)”

Then the maids shouted, "Kyaa!" and shook their fists.
"Is that so~~ our baby is scared of lions~~”
The maids, then rubbed my cheeks on both sides of my face. I endured the maids with blurred eyes.There was a commotion outside. Lea opened the door a little and looked through the hallway.
“It looks like the trader has arrived.”
Then she reached out to me
“Shall we go see?"

I took Lea’s hand and left the room.
When I arrived the duke sat on an ivory chair. Behind his chair, i saw the emperor's tapestry. That tapestry with ancient language was a symbol of the military power of Dubblede.In front of him was a man who seemed to be a trading partner.I recognized the man at once.

Turva was a well-established trade partner who began as a slave and sought the respect of the common people.However, it turned out that he had cheated several times before after being caught selling counterfeit goods.
‘I'm nervous.'
This may be real, but I couldn't be relieved to know Turva. Turva opened a box that was lying on the floor.There was a white headstone in the box.

‘It's an ancient language’
Turva spoke in a confident tone.

“It’s an ancient headstone.”
Then the vassals and Nos, who were standing beside the Duke, rejoiced greatly.
“An ancient headstone is worth as much as Newt.”
That's right. If the ancient headstone became known, it would now be classified as a tresure by the castle.
“But ancient language is an incomprehensible language, how can you be sure that this is a headstone from ancient times?”
Turva opened his mouth with a triumphant look.

“A similar object was recorded in the history book, and it was verified that it contained strong divine power.”
“Hmm.....”
As the vassals shook their heads, Turva raised the corners of their mouths.
"It's a difficult thing to excavate in the old plateau. The horde of horrible monsters attacked me and the top, but I never retreated."
Then he struck out his hands at the Duke.
“There will certainly be a day when it will help someone. So you can't give up the tombstone!“

But the duke only pressed his temple with a dry face.Turva wasn't mad at all. Rather, he raised his mouth as if waiting for the word.
"If you'd like to buy it, I'll deal with you for 100 million."

‘What?’
‘100 million?!’
The unit used only for the national budget was hundreds of millions. Even the vassals and the Nos nearly screamed and looked at the duke.
As soon as the Duke looked over the stone plate with a sharp look, I raised my hand up.

“Closely! That!”
Turva, who was staring at me with thin eyes, soon smiled.
"You're a child of fate. It's an honor to meet you."
“Want to see”

Lea was embarrassed and called me, "Ah, little miss."
Nos also looked troubled. It seemed like he was worried that if I broke the stone plate like I did at Newt, I wouldn't really be able to fix it. But I had a reason to look closely at that stone plate. Turva grinned and nodded. "You must be interested in this because you're a child of fate. Yes, let's take a closer look. But don't touch it."

As the vassals shouted, "Wait!" but i quickly approached Turva. I squatted on the carpet and looked into the stone plate with a curious face.
"Do you feel the divine power?”
The people of Dubbled and the people of Turva’s table have all dissuaded him.
"Stop it. What if the child breaks it?"
"She’s the child of fate, and she might be able to read some ancient words."
"How can anyone who can't speak imperial language yet interpret ancient languages?”

"Of course I'm joking. Someone who can interpret the ancient language, the language that has disappeared--"
“Nowto, who stwuggle for his famiwy for a lifetime, sweeps here. (Noto, who struggled for his family for a lifetime, sleep here.)”
“Yes?”
Turva and other people blinked at the sudden remark.I smiled brightly and pointed to the stone tablet. ‘Uncle, are you an idiot, it’s written here.’
This was just a tombstone. Moreover, no divine power can be felt at all. ‘This swindler.’
Thankfully, i can read ancient language. No one can read it now, but it was because the ancient language of the ancient language appeared a decade later. Mina was able to read the ancient language as soon as she saw it. Thanks to her, the lines of the ancient language were interpreted, and others could learn the ancient language.

Of course, the number of people who learned was very small because it was very difficult. 'There were only three people who can understand the ancient language until I was about to die.' The Crown Prince and the eldest son of Duke Dubbled, and me.
I shook my head inside and looked at Turva. It's a lie to say that they excavated it from the old plateau in the first place. The only ancient country that built a monument for the dead was Calisis.

Calisis is a country directly opposite the old plateau and does not believe in the this country’s God. It is an area where the divine thing can never come down.
'How simple is that man?'
You must have thought that you would never get caught. That man didn't know that i can read ancient language.The vassals rushed to me.
“Can you read ancient languages?

“Exactly, as it it written?”

He quickly gave his hand to the duke and made excuses.
"No, It's a holy thing! How can a child read such an ancient language?"

Turva, who glared at me sharply, pressed, "A child who says such lie will be punished by heaven!"
Before I knew it, Nos, who came near me, bent one knee and asked me to look at him.
“Do you really know how to read ancient languages?”
“'Yes.”
“How? Did you learn?"
I thought you'd ask me this question, so I prepared this!

I tilted my head and said,
“I can see it."
When Mina was asked how she read ancient languages, she said so.
That's when I learned that the title "The Child of Destiny" is used.
As i was giggling inside, Turva shouted, "Lie!"
Then he hurriedly made excuses for the people.

"I have a way to prove that this is the real thing.But you're different. How do you make it clear that you can read ancient languages?"

'I'm sure it was fabricated.’

Turva laughed and smiled.
"The only person who could speak ancient language was the founding emperor." That was then. I stretched out my index finger and pointed to the tapestry embroidered in ancient languages at the back of the duke.

“Bwessed the man who rejuvnated his mission (Blessed be the man who rejuvenated his mission.)"
“.......!”

All eyes are on me.

Nos breathed in, and the vassals silently screamed. Even the duke looked at me with my eyes wide open.
And I hit the last shot.

“Fwed Enys Shawman Cawwie (Fred Enys Shayman Callie)”
When i said the name embroidered at the end of the tapestry, the Duke rolled up the armrests of the chair. "The true name of the Founding Emperor"
People stared at me in amazement at his murmur. “True?”
“that’s the true name of Fred I!”
The middle name 'Shayman' was evidence of some tribe's blood. The tribe was called the creation of evil spirits, are now forbidden to mention. The Imperial Household removed his true name from the record to hide the wrong blood of the Founding Emperor.
For now, it was only the Five Dynasties and very few people who knew his true name. And the very few would of course include the Duke of Dubbled.

‘It's different in the future.’
Mina's inscription on the tapestry once spoke of the emperor's real name in public. So reading the truth of the founding emperor embroidered on tapestry now proved that I could really read the ancient language.Nos burst out laughing.
“I can't help but believe this."
The vassals swallowed dry saliva and grabbed their foreheads.
"That's ridiculous. How could you.........”
All the people were troubled. I grinned inwardly and looked at Turva.

'How are you going to make excuses now?' As expected, Turva couldn't open his mouth easily.
His hands were shaking with a blue face.

‘Fool’
I shook my head, and shed a small laugh.
The Duke may have been suspicious, given that he was not interested in it in the first place. He rose slowly.
"I guess I've been pretty nice lately."

“.......What?”
“Nos.”
At the duke’s call, Nos bowed his head and answered, “Yes.”
“Bring him in to prison.”

Surprised, Turva shouted, "Wait, sir!" with a bluish face. The Duke looked at him and said dryly.
"Get me a definite answer about that headstone, even if you chop him up.”

"Yes," said Nos, grimly. Turva’s face faded.

Turva talked about everything even before the vassals began. There was a sacred thing that had to be taken in order to deal with the Pope, which required money somehow.
‘What nonsense is this?’
'What kind of a creature would have allowed Turva to commit this reckless fraud?’I wondered what the hell it was, but Nos brought back the rims of the holy things that were kept at the top. When I saw it, I opened my eyes in surprise.

‘Etwal!’
It was the very holy thing that made Mina exert powerful power. The six-pointed star, the colored gem embedded at the end of the star, and the circle surrounding the star and the gem. It looks just like Etwal, the sacred object that Mina used to perform all kinds of miracles. Mina's was definitely platinum with strings and pendants, but this is gold. Each end also had a different species of jewel.
'It's not Mina's Etwal, which is being kept in the temple.'
Was there a paired sacred thing?
‘But why wasn't it made public in my previous life?’
Etwal was a symbol of the country’s religion. 'If a second Etwal exists, there is no reason why the church should not reveal it.’
W̄ ёb ǹо̊v̈ѐ l Е̃ n̈ ùm а̌
'It would have been advantageous for the public to secure. The owner would have given it to the temple for public reasons.'Then, the Duke mumbled, closing his eyes.
"Second Etwal”

"Then it makes sense for Turva to do crazy things. Etwal is the decisive factor that made Neliad the religion of the empire."
"So where is this Etwal?"
"It’s asleep in the sea. The only way to get it is to salvage it. The problem with that is...…."
Nos gave the map with a troubled face.
Е̄ǹ um̌ а̌
"It's not the territorial waters of the Empire. It's just 10 meters away from the territorial waters of another continent."
The duke snorted.
“So the church couldn’t come forward.”
"Yes, because if they come forward, war will be inevitable."

The reason why Turva need huge funds is probably because his counterpart is the king of other continent. They won't just get by with small amount and invade the territorial waters.
"What should I do?"

"If it's really etwal, we have to secure it on our side."
"Are you going to make a deal with the king?"
“What are you talking about”
“So......”
The Duke, tapping the papers back at Nos, said
“We’ll go to war.”

He looked as if he needed to have a headache pill.
‘Wow’
I was struck with astonishment at his amazing answer.
"That's good. I don't have to look for another gift for emperor’s birthday.”
Nos looked at me with a smile.
"This is all thanks to you. Would we have known the existence of the second Etwal had the Newt been broken? Also, you were able to prevent fraudulent transactions in advance by reading the ancient language.”
W̄ е bň о̂v̂ el Е n̈ů m̆ ǎ
Indeed, Dubbled‘s liteunant, deserves to be called a villain. You look happy that things are going to be easy even though there will be a war. I was a little shocked to see the hidden side of Nos, who usually seemed friendly. But it wasn't a bad thing for me.
'Etwal did a good job, I'm safe.'

It’s the irony of fate, Newt broke down but it gave me a chance to get Etwal. When I destroyed Newt, I even gave up on being adopted, but it was all good in the end. Maybe ....i don't have to give up.
I glanced at the duke. His facial expression doesn’t look bad.
Shall we test it out?'
Then, Nos said, "Come on, shall we go?"and tried to hug me.
Ѐnǔ ḿā
I shouted, "No!" and ran to the Duke, hugging his legs.
“I’ll be with thwe dyuke (i’ll be with the duke.)”
Then Nos look at me with a wounded face.
I didn't want to go with him, so Nos was forced to give up on me and leave the room.Being alone with the Duke, I raised my arms up.

“Gwive me a hug pwease! (Give me a hug please!)”
The Duke stared at me and soon reached out.

'Okay, we've become close enough for him to say nothing about asking for a hug.'
Then wouldn't it be okay to bring up the word now?
Come to think of it, it's been a month since I came to Dubbled’s residence. It is time for the empress dowager to ask about the adoption.
'Now is the time to feel better.'
I was afraid, but I pull out my courage and opened my mouth a little

I'm sure there's a lot of will and experience in this spirit since I've experienced death three times.

A thunderous round of applause came from around and Lea kissed me on the cheek several times as if she was proud.

"I'm proud of you. Good work, little miss!"
"I've only taught you a few times, but you're already wearing your own socks."

Then we're ready now.
I grabbed the remaining pair of socks and pull Lea’s sleeve.
“I want to go to the dyuke”
“Yes, show it to him."
Lea smiled gladly and took me to the Duke's office.
The duke, who was watching the documentary with the officers and the vassals, took off his glasses and looked at me.

I glanced at the tiny white lace socks.
“ Weblaine can wear syocks now!(Leblaine can wear socks now!)”
He held his chin and said, "Let’s see..” and I swallowed my dry saliva.
On the day I asked to be adopted, the duke was silent.But it wasn't seen as negative.The fact that he didn't answer would mean that i could be adopted if I did well.
'So this is sort of an interview room for me.'
I flung down on the floor and grabbed the socks with both hands. The vassals and the officers looked at me with a pleased look.

One of the vassals sitting around the table shook his shoulders.

I looked at the duke with an uneasy look. The tip of his lips slowly went down.
It was an obvious sneer.
I felt like I wanted to go into a rat hole.
'It's pathetic, me, me, ······'
As I became sullen, Lea said in a laughing voice. "She just succeeded. I've only taught her twice."
“As expected, she’s different.”

“Is that so”
As the duke mumbled, leaning deeply against the back. Meanwhile I was staring bitterly at the long, dangling socks on my toes.
‘Failed’
Then the interview failed too......
What I felt during my stay in this castle for more than a month was that the duke was as strong as an iron fortress.
I tried to get along somehow, but the development was very little. I don't think it’s getting any better.

He was also extremely cold-hearted to his three sons.
As soon as they were born, they was taken away by his predecessor and could not raise him himself. Even now, the whole authority of education belongs to the elders.

The Duke left the city for inspection as he said. Lea said it would take about 20 days for him to be back. Those 20 days were days of training for me. 'You have to succeed and be adopted.’
So I was putting up my socks today as well. 'Oh, it's a success if you cross your heel, but it's hard.It was because I couldn't control my delicate muscles.’

It's already noon since I've been busy training. It was time for lunch. I left the room looking for Lea. I used to be with her all the time, but she was away for some reason today. The maids have been out since dawn.
“You can enter and stay in one of the guest rooms.”
“The baby.......will be leaving right away”
Butlers and maids were busy discussing something. The faces of the vassals who walked in and out of the hall were also stiff.
‘What?’
When I heard a rumbling sound, I tilted my head to the butler, and soon he understands it.

"What nonsense is that!"

"How can a priest of the Church cross the gate without permission!"

Linda, your shoulders are shaking. Then the butler called out, "Little miss?" but I couldn't answer.

If they take me to the capital city, I'll be headed for re-adoption immediately. Besides, the fact that the church, not the empress, is coming to take me to their chosen place of adoption is bad.I know it because I've heard it in my previous life. The place the church has recommended is.....

When I remembered the Duke of Vallua, my eyes were red with anger.

<Dubbled>
Everyone in Dubbled is a cold-blooded person. It was due to the Dubbled’s special teaching method, which had a short history of their own. The only path as a dubbled is to be slaughtered or slaughter.
Theodore Dubbled, the current Duke of Dubbled was one of the most completely molded in the history of the Dubbleds.
Е̇ n̄ ú m̃ӓ . і̃d
Unrivaled power, sense and intelligence that doubled the family's fortune after only a few years on the throne. A man who thoroughly excluded emotions with such talent has aroused appalling fears of anyone.
The same thing happened to the vassals and officers who went on an inspection tour with Theodore. The restaurant remained quiet throughout the lunch.

At that time, they felt a slight wave of mana. Theodore and other elite soldiers turned their eyes to the source of the mana. The lieutenant sweated in his pocket.
"Oh, no, this is..”
The knight sitting on his right held the lieutenant’s wrist.
“I’ll check”

The knight roughly put the Lieutenant's hands on the table
What came out of his hand was a magical tool, and the lieutenant sweated a cold sweat.
"It's the latest trend....”
"It is forbidden to possess non-related equipment."

"Well, i was asked to buy soft cloths.”
There was a very soft cloth made of special crops that only come from the area. Then the knight asked full of excitement.

“Do you have children?"
“No, it’s for the little miss.”
"The child of fate that the empress sent?"
"Yes. She’s practicing wearing socks, but it seems difficult, so the maid is trying to make a more comfortable socks."
“But why do you need that?”
Suddenly, the knight reached out to confiscate the magic tool.

At that time, a small noise was made from the magical tool, and a screen was rising in the air.

“Oh, she’s the one...”
"What is this?"
Recently, it was a trend to exchange cute images or videos of Leblaine among employees of Dubbled.
This was a short video taken by Lea, which was used to pay the lieutenant for the transaction. She sent him a video instead for buying the cloth.

The knights, who had been angling closely, relaxed their expressions.
“That’s cute.”

[What if the dyuke dowsen’t wike that i can’t pwonounce dyuke? (What if the duke doesn’t like that i can’t pronounce duke?)”]
The whole place burst to laughter. A middle-aged knight spoke to Theodore.

"You must be happy being loved by such a cute child.”
“Nonsense.”
"The baby is a very unusual. Even the three masters think their father can't be easily approached.”
"She’s a unique girl.”
A boisterous knight asked with a sly look. "Honestly, isn't she cute?”
Theodore's eyes chilled. Then there was silence in the restaurant again, and others were in a hurry to eat. She’s not cute.

I never thought anyone was cute in the first place.
But i can't help but notice the little thing standing in my castle all day long. I thought the mole on her neck was funny. It was a heart pattern, but when she looked up at my shoes, her skin stretched and the mole grew bigger.
Theodore then reached out to the Lieutenant. The lieutenant who was putting a meat in his mouth.
“Come here”
“Yes?”
“Do not carry non- related equipment."
Е̄ ṅüm̃а̂ . і̂d
‘It's not even for attacking’ thought the lieutenant. For a moment the lieutenant had a look of injustice, but he could not overcome the cold gaze and put the magical tool on his palm.
Theodore carefully put a magic tool into his bag.

'There is a myth that if you damage a magic tool, you will be cursed.'

Since then, only the sound of rustling dishes filled the silence in the restaurant. At the end of the meal, the captain of the Magistrate's mouth opened.
“By the way, Duke , I’ve recently heard that the surrounding area is strange.”

“Why are you saying that? "
"It's beyond the territory, but firearms are raging."

“They sell children to the slave market."
"A child with magical or divine powers is also used as an ingredient in gold. It's a terrible thing."
In that moment, Leblaine popped out in Theodore’s mind. “Dyuke!”. While walking Leblaine was kidnapped by some bandit. In the slave market, Leblaine was calling the duke and ended up bursting out in tears.
“If anyone dares to enter my estate, i can’t let them go.”
“If it happens....?”
“Kill them.”

“Which area should we clean first...”
“Let’s go to the Roxiel boundary.”

“Take care of Roxiel’s garden. It would be a good idea to show favors around.”

The grandfather, who had left with the duke,once brought me a children bag. It was a peach-colored elephant-shaped bag.
“The bag is here.”
Lea looked at me with a curious look on her face when she found the bag and put it on her shoulder.
However, I take it and ran out.

Lea, sorry. This is something I have to do alone.
'Cause I'm getting ready to run away.'
Probably no, the church’s priests will take me. The empress gave me a choice, but if the church insists strongly, she’ll side with them as if I can't have another choice.
For now, there was no reason to let me stay here and even if the duke was here, he protested against the empress. ‘If i’m adopted by Val Lua, it's impossible to run away.'
So escape while you're on your way to the capital, you're escaping.
'It's dangerous in this body, but if you go to Val Lua, you'll be abused and killed.’

The food was prepared by skipping the snacks. But in case of emergency, I still can’t let go of sweets. The most direct thing to the brain is sweets. I used to act like a child when I was tired, sleepy, or hungry until my brain had finished growing. So sweets is a must have.

I need to pack a map and clothes. And then shoes. Light children shoes will soon wear out and are not suitable for long trips. I'm afraid I'll just have to only put in ten candies. I took out candy from my bag and came back to my room.

'There's a lot of that going on these days.'
These people were holding snacks. It was a really delicious snack.

Today’s snack is custard cream. I was looking forward to the cream I had last week because it was so delicious. The horse-riding game we played was fun.
I was saddened by the memory of the Duke of Dubbled. Compared to past life, this place was heaven. When I think about falling into hell while living in heaven, my eyes are watering. When I cried, the employees came running in amazement.
