episode 4

'What?'

Baratheon burst into laughter.

"Kid, do you think Ashinov would make such a mistake of recognizing people?"

''Yes, you've already done it once,
you killed the innocent girl by calling her the devil."

Baratheon shrugged, who had no idea how I felt looking at him with cloudy eyes.

"Most of all, you're just like an inspiration. Hedin knew as soon as he saw her."

"Hedin?"

"Don't you know? The red hair that picked you up.he's Hedin."

"He also told me that your adoptive parents were trashy people."

''Oh, the man who hit my stepfather instead of me
And he even saved me from drowning, so I thought we should thank him when we meet later."

"More than that······."

Baratheon squinted and lifted me with one hand.

'Uh!'

As I opened my eyes round in surprise, he looked around at me and clicked his tongue.

You're looking so dry. Such a poor Ashinov."

Certainly, I'm just a poor little girl now.

"She's very thin and dirty."

It was natural because she grew up being abused by her foster parents.

Baratheon frowned at me, who was mildly convinced.

"Maybe we'll tell the maids to clean you up, I bet If you don't come back to normal before the old man comes back, he'll be very pissed!!"

"You're a fool, but I'll agree with you this time, Theon."

Shise crossed his arms, close to me.Face to face, Lucas nodded quietly from behind.

I think I'm the only one who doesn't know the situation. I can't believe you're showing me what you've done.What does that mean?

                       * * *

Lucas opened the huge door wide and led me into it. "Come on, this is your room."

'Wait..this...?'

I opened my eyes in surprise. The carpet on the floor was as soft as clouds, and warm sunshine was pouring from a large window with navy curtains. It was also fantastic to see elaborate furniture and artworks filled with walls that must have been carved by craftsmen.

"Is that..my room..."

Compared to the  master's roughly built log cabin, and dragged by her foster parents.It was a luxurious space to compare with Dunn's shabby carriage.

"I don't think the place where the emperor lives will be this luxurious."

Of course, I've never seen the place where the emperor lives before.

"That's how luxurious it is."

Lucas smiled and introduced someone with his eyes wide open.

"This is the maid in charge of you. If there's anything you need, just tell her.

"That's fine."

The maid, who stood quietly on one side at Lucas's introduction, bowed her head gracefully as if she had waited.

"It's Marina,"

she said, "not a maid, but a noble lady.

'Uh, well, hello'..
