Same time in the Tower of Wisdom.
The Senate meeting was filled with many aristocrats.
“Where is the president who is supposed to advise on such situations?
““He said that he would be in isolation for the time being due to the Theramore incident “Everyone had suffered because of the Theramore Incident.
“Sure, but that's because the deadline has arrived “cried the excited aristocrat.
“If the president does not come forward, we must stop him ourselves!
“You are very stubborn ““But if we leave it that way, Destiny's child will take over Doubled!
“It doesn't make sense for an adopted commoner to look after the estate in Doppeld's name …” “If he had married again, this terrible thing would not have happened.
Why not start your search now?
““It will take at least a year or two to find a suitable family ““Well, the Duchess should have had another daughter.
This way, he wouldn't be influenced by an unqualified girl “.
The sheikh, who was sitting in the upper seat on behalf of the president, rubbed his chin.
“Wait … This would be enough to have another eligible daughter ““Excuse me?
“He looked back at Baron Stone.
“How old was your daughter you said?
““What?
“*** My daily life became chaotic.
“Little Miss, our ward staff has served Doppelganger's blood relatives from generation to generation.
I'm sure it would help if we were around “.
“Leah and all of us will take good care of her!
The staff was very busy every day.
She fled into the garden to escape the maids from the West Wing.
' I'm so tired these days that I don't have time to go to the greenhouse to see the money.’ I sat behind a big tree and held my breath until the maids were away.
' Let's play here and come back when the evening comes.’ I looked at the flowers in the garden.
The winds of winter have not abated, Yet the flowers were in full bloom.
It was because of the mana stone.
The more vivid the color, the more power it can hold, The mana stone in the garden was extremely vital.
Moreover, it was very large.
' It would be nice to take that with me when I run away later.’ ' It must be expensive.’ That's what I thought when I picked flowers in the garden.
I was making a bouquet for Leah.
Leah prefers wildflowers that people find on the side of the road rather than those prepared by a gardener.
So I looked for small wildflowers that gardeners had never seen before.
I was so focused on the flowers that I suddenly bumped into someone.
“Wa!
" brother!" The girl who collided with me screamed and fell.
She was a girl who seemed to be my age.
She was wearing a wide-brimmed headdress and a lace dress that looked expensive.
' Oh, I have to help her.’ So I extended my hand.
The child shook my hand and frowned.
So, I stood up and looked at her.
The girl suddenly said, “What are you doing?
““huh?
““You should apologise “She nodded calmly and said, “Let's apologize to each other ““What?
““We both bumped into each other “I frowned, then, “Baby girl!
I could hear Isaac's voice.
“Where She …” The mysterious child searched the garden.
Then his eyes sparkled when his eyes found mine.
Isaac jumps over plants, “Here you go ““Isiac following me again?
“After the Jayob incident, she was given a tracking device.
Not only is the device able to look up my private location, But it also showed escape routes and allowed emergency calls.
“Oh, are you angry?
““That's right, you always follow me “( Right, you always follow me.) Even though they put a tracking device on me, However, their concern remains.
Every now and then, Henry will check on me.
Izik is even worse, he always tries to meet me in his spare time.
The child smiled.
At first, I was surprised as his handsome face approached, But now that I'm used to it, I feel like a burden.
“You can't be angry if you know what you told them to make a snack today ““…..
What?
““French toast ““Why did you come only now?!
I received him very warmly.
French toast was my favorite snack, Soaked in half-cooked eggs and topped with honey and butter.
However, the chefs would always crush her hopes by saying, “I can't give away a little food that only common people eat ““Oh my God, you little miss “The girl she bumped into suddenly ran out.
“I'm sorry I didn't greet you sooner “.
Isaac frowned.
“What, why are you here?
““Nice to see you again “The little girl who had shocked me earlier smiled shyly and bowed her head.
Then she looked at me.
“My name is Cattleya Walston.
I am Doubled's third cousin “.
“Third cousin?
“( Third cousin? ) “Yes.
You were surprised earlier, weren't you?
Forgive me.
I didn't know you because you were wearing simple clothes “.
My clothes were really simple.
It was because the Duke's fingers got stuck in the frills of the fancy dress last time.
Isik also said that my dress is annoying, in the meantime, Henry just smiled at the employee in charge of my clothes and said, “If this happens again, I will take off your skin and put it in her clothes “After that, I only wore comfortable clothes.
But it was simple without any decorations.
Moreover, because I was sitting on the floor, the dress looked dusty.
The girl continued, holding my hand with both of hers.
“Please forgive me “She continued her speech.
“We will stay together in the castle in the future.
Let's be comfortable with each other “Stay together in the castle?
Izek and I looked at each other, And our eyes are wide. *** Then she heard about Cattleya when she entered a room with Isik.
She said she was twelve years old, But it was fairly early.
She was smart enough to say a lot of difficult words.
Isaac got a twisted look on his face, He took a fork on the strawberry and handed it to me.
“Why did they re-teach the lineage that they normally didn't?
“I looked at Henry.
Lineage education refers to a system in which a family collects and manages all Doppelganger children to control the family.
A system in which the Duke had no choice but to hand over the three brothers to his predecessors.
Henry said in an indifferent tone.
“I heard it was a voluntary request from Walston ““Isn't he crazy?
Every family was always trembling in fear that we would take their child away “.
" correct." “I'm afraid the Duke will say he will do the same thing as his predecessor did ““So, if he would do it?
Why?
“Henry looked at me and turned his head to ask Isaac.
Suddenly a gentle voice was heard.
“Now I have to go and eat my meal in the bedroom ““Aren't you full already?
“Guys, there's something called...
“Separate stomach for snacks and meals “.
“It's possible, “The brothers laughed “Let's go then “I took the brothers' hands and headed to the dining room.
The Doubled dining room was not a familiar dining table.
It was like a meeting table.
When I entered the dining room, I saw nobles from that day sitting around the table.
When the Duke's children appeared, they all rose from their seats, They put their hands on their chests and bowed their heads.
I was a little worried about giving polite greetings to those in authority, but the brothers were already used to that..
When we sat on the left side of the table, Cattleya smiled, who sat on the side, brightly said, “He's here too “Then the Duke appeared.
Another polite greeting followed.
The Duke sat down and the meal began.
While the adults were talking about difficult things, I focused on the meal.
' Beef, I love it.’ What type of technique did the chef use?
This food … It melts the moment it touches my mouth, enveloping my taste buds with its softness.
Leaving only the delicious flavor inside.
It was a taste I had never tasted even in the days when the Empress adored me before my return.
It was then.
" Yes!" “I'm sorry, I was surprised “Baron Wellstone's wife, Cattleya's mother, asked, “What's going on here?
“Cattleya rose without answering.
Then she came to me and wiped my face with a handkerchief.
“That's enough, “She said as she blinked at Cattleya.
' Did I eat it with a lot of sauce on my face though?
' It was a dinner full of important people, So I cared a lot about my image.
Cattleya smiled and returned to her seat.
Then she looked at the Duke and put the meat on his plate with a shy look.
“It's delicious, Duke has more “She laughed happily as she said that.
The elders simply smiled.
