“Blood sold for a price … Poor thing.
It must be two shoes.
Isiac, I believe that if my environment is as good as its size, I will be as good as it is …”
( He was sold as a slave … Poor thing.
He must be sad.
How are you?
I think if LeBlin was sold as a slave, I would be sad too …) “This … He's weak, baby girl.
That's why he was captured by the slave trader.
This is what my predecessor used to say, “The strong will always oppress the weak “.
“So am I bad too?
“At my words, Isik's expression faltered.
“What are you saying?!
“I support him too.
I'm sorry and I miss his relatives like Henley and Isaac “. ( I'm weak too.
I'm small and not as strong as Henry and Isaac.) The child's expression immediately turned depressed at my words.
When I saw his sad look, I pulled his sleeve tightly.
“Are you still going to buy Boilen ever?
“( Are you still going to buy Blaine as a slave? ) “I won't buy it.
I have never bought a slave before.
I just wanted to give you the best games, I heard that nobles collect slaves as toys these days.
I wanted to buy you the best toys, That's why I brought you here …” “There is no harm if hope is like that.
You have lent to Aye, so don't be humiliated by Afdal!
“( It's okay if that's the case.
I changed my mind, you are still the best!) Isaac's frustrated face lit up with joy when he heard my statement.
I sighed internally because of its simplicity.
' It is difficult to discipline a child.’ *** When the Duke returned to the castle, his mood seemed to get worse.
Because of his mood swings, Staff and administrators were treading on thin ice.
Leah and my maids were equally absent-minded.
They fell asleep taking care of me.
But it was a good thing for me.
' I will take this opportunity to take a look at the new officials.’ I thought as I remembered the way to the room where there were new administrators.
I was looking into their offices under the pretext of doing my homework and looking for Nous.
“Leah, hand to go to his fodder “( Leah, I want to go to the administrator's room.) “Admin room....
Uni, go with the baby “.
I ordered one of the stationed maids to accompany me.
I shook my head at Leah's words.
“No, it's okay!
I can go on my own “. ( No, it's okay!
I can go by myself.) “Little miss, you should be careful when you meet someone new in the castle.
Since the Duke accepts people regardless of their background and status, that's why we need to be careful.
It would be better for you if the uni was by your side “.
Leah explained to me patiently.
I couldn't refute her logic and decision, because I knew there was indeed a criminal hiding inside the estate and I was going to find out who he was...
“Okay ….” “That's very nice of you “Leah kissed me gently on the side of my forehead.
And that's how Uni and I ended up walking together towards the administrator's room.
When I was about to enter the room, A frustrated voice shouted from the room, startling Wonnie.
“So?
It's very expensive!
Radish seedlings are usually traded for 40 Only one franc!
“The new manager, Ceria, was in a fight with a supplier.
Another manager, Charlie, soon intervened.
“It is more than double the market price.
With this amount, we can assume that someone seized the money “.
The accused immediately denied the charge.
“What are you talking about?!
He shouted angrily.
Charlie sniffed.
“Seria, you don't know because this is your first time, But the aristocracy deliberately brings things at a low price.
Everything was done to show off their wealth “.
“However, this is a lot...!” “This is what common people do ““What are you talking about?
The rule for pretrial officers is not to share their identity – Little miss!
“When she was about to scold him, Her eyes accidentally found me hiding behind the door of the administration office, She immediately turned around at me.
“Oh my God, she's such a beautiful little miss … Greetings little miss, my name is Seria “The man, who was watching the fight between Charlie and Ceria, immediately leaned towards me.
“My name is Jacob “He was the one who told me “Baby girl “.
On his first day.
As a result, he was taken by Nous and warned for the foul.
Surprisingly, he doesn't seem to resent me.
Instead, his eyes were glued to my hand that was holding my yoni's skirt.
Suddenly he whispered in a low voice, “About nine centimetres … It's small …” In contrast to his co-workers, Charlie stood as if I didn't exist.
Ceria stared at his strange behavior before shoving him in the ribs.
“What are you doing?
“He whispered harshly, annoyed by his co-worker's pushing.
Ceria answered in a low voice : “Say hello to little miss “.
“Well, my name is Charlie Mayroll “He said indifferently as if my existence was just a simple child and had the same status as him.
Ceria and Jacob looked at him with a puzzled look.
While my maid, my yoni's face, was distorted in distaste.
“What a rude person!
“huh?
“Charlie looked up and down at Yuni as if she was crazy.
“The official dares to disrespect the little miss!
Uni scolded him.
“What's the problem, right?
““What is your name?
I will refer you to the punishment meeting “.
The punishment meeting was a trial for those who disrespected the system of the aristocracy.
The offender will be brought before the station chiefs of each district to be judged.
If more than half of the bosses confess to their crime, the criminal will be punished.
The type of punishment he would face was varied, From fine or imprisonment to death by hanging.
When Charlie heard the maid's words, he was upset.
Sensing that she was overreacting, he scratched his head in irritation.
Fortunately, Ceria managed to grab Charlie's wrist before he escalated the problem further.
“Stop, Charlie.
You really have no respect for little miss.
“Charlie pulled Ceria's hand away and cut off the sleeve she was holding.
He felt betrayed.
How could you take Little Miss's side, Which she didn't even know, any more than his co-worker.
He clicked his tongue in annoyance before walking towards the door.
As soon as he passed me, I heard him muttering.
“It's a good enough greeting for an orphan like you “In fact, Only a few believed that I was the true daughter of fate. in the structure, They gave me a painting as a way to spread the ruler's spirituality in which they believe.
But outside the temple, people treated me differently.
Not many people thought that I was the daughter of fate, Even the Empress didn't quite believe me either.
That's why when I looked for someone to adopt me, She excluded her father, the Duke of Marche, from the list.
Her behavior was one of the things that made people suspicious.
Faced with a familiar feeling of condemnation, Charlie's words were neither strange nor annoying.
' But ….’ I grabbed his sleeve.
“What This?
“Charlie stopped in his tracks at the powerful locomotive.
“Slow down and go “( Wait properly and go ).
Upon hearing my request, Charlie burst out laughing.
“You did it, girl.
What you just did was a greeting “.
He stared at me with an insulting look in his eyes.
Then I said with a smile.
“I said terrified when I bound you, just as I terrified you when I went.
Are you a shaved idiot, Thedi?
“( I said hello when I met you, and I also greeted you when you left.
Are you an idiot with no morals? ) “Hah …” He stared at me as if I was stupid and laughed.
“Yes yes.
Goodbye, have a nice day “, With sarcasm laced in his words, he turned away from me.
But before he could take another step, I kicked his knee with all the force I could muster.
“Agh!
His painful screams echoed in the director's hall.
She stared coldly as he rubbed the bruised knee, trying to ease the pain.
“Give it a heavy weight.
When you say goodbye, Sharpen your knees and bring your inheritance to the father.
Now, do it one more time, “( Do it right.
When you say goodbye, bend your knees and bow your head to the floor.
Now, do it again.) Charlie clenched his jaw in anger.
All the managers present were now looking at the commotion.
Uni, who was standing next to me, was surprised by my sudden outburst.
' It would be hard for me if I let people not be as respectful as they want to be.’ I didn't know well in my previous life and I let myself be disrespected by everyone who didn't believe that I was a child of fate.
In the end, no one respected me.
Everyone treated me as if I was just a child with an honorary noble title – Fake.
Charlie was embarrassed and angry.
Especially when he saw all the administrators looking at the disturbance, Where a young child scolds him.
In an attempt to save his pride, he turned the attention to me.
“Hell!
I pretended I didn't hear his little moan and instead shook my uni skirt.
“Uni, uni ““Yes, miss is young ““Leah said, “Everyone except Dawaq and Ahoti should say hello to me, right?” “( Leah said, Everyone except the Duke and my brothers should tell me, right? ) “That's right, little miss ““So … What about other people?
Religion doesn't insult me?
Like this chick. ( So … What about others who don't greet me?.
Like this mr.) Johnny looked at Charlie and smiled gently at me.
“They will be punished by death by cutting his throat “.
Then I asked, “Little Miss, should I inform Nous?
“When Charlie heard the maid's words, his face couldn't help but turn pale.
His arrogant demeanor from before is gone, He banged his forehead on the ground and begged me for mercy.
“I've been rude to you, little miss.
Please forgive me!
His voice was full of despair.
She smiled widely at his figure and approached him.
“Don't forget next time “She whispered in his ear.
“I'm little Miss Doppeld “Fearing that I would change my mind, he swallowed and nodded eagerly. *** Ceria and Jacob looked at me with stern expressions.
The previous incident was still fresh in their memory.
Remember what you did to Charlie, They couldn't help but stiffen every time she crossed their line of sight.
Meanwhile I sat with my chin in my hand and focused on my thoughts.
' Today is a terrible day.’ I couldn't figure out who the criminal was and had to face an arrogant prick.
I was hoping he was the most wanted criminal, but that criminal single-handedly attacked the nobles' palace and killed people without being caught.
“The criminal must be brilliant “.
Unfortunately, Charlie was a bit lacking in this department.
The smartest person I knew was Ceria....
I didn't think she was the one who committed a crime.
Even my first impression of her was that she was a very honest and rational person ' Is it Jacob?
' I glanced at Jacob.
He was looking at my feet with a strange look.
His eyes followed the direction of my feet swaying in the air, he murmured, “14 Poison....” ' He seems like an idiot who loves children.’ An unexpected thought popped into my mind, and I hit the armchair with my fist in revelation at the sudden thought.
' Why didn't I think of that sooner?!
My money, no, the wanted criminal, it is …’
