The banquet hall was full of chattering. What the topic? Well, its about jaiden of course the slum boy who got adopted by the duke. He was surrounded by them in hope can have a connection.

"Huh..." you can hear a sigh came from a beautiful young lady who look at the nobles with secretly judge eyes.

That young lady was olive, she feel hurt to be ignore by the other even the royal family. She grit her teeth in jealousy before walk to the empty side of the hall.

Everyone was enjoying the party except our mc, who staring outside in the balcony. She has been thinking what really make original holder of this body do to be forgotten by others.

Then its finally hit her. The original holder was an arrogant person and was always stalk the crown prince. The most far things she had done was make a young lady cry for close to the prince.

She has now live in this body. That mean all bad things will be happen to her. Because she was to feel my thinking, she's not realize the duke stare at her from behind. From behind her in the inside.

"Should i visit [redacted]? I need her to explain about them." I could hear her mumbling even tho she's far away from me right now.

Who is this person, i can't seem to hear it clearly.

Why is she staring down to the garden?

"Your grace, i have just receive report from the shadow guard that watch the duchess. That she meet count revja." Sir Tores reporting to me.

I move my gaze to that child. She stare down there frown before return into a smirk. Then i hear she mumbling for a second time.

"To kill me? Heh, they want to kill me so that jaiden can take the heir position.
Hehehe.. funny, i will never let someone took my place except when i don't need it anymore." She mumbled while move her head up to the sky.

"I should really visit that person..."

After she finish, i walked toward jaiden.

When i arrive, jaiden was dancing with the crown prince. He laugh happily before notice me.

"Duke? Your already finish the business?" He ask and i replied with nod.

Tak..tak...tak..

The sound of high heels can be heard from behind me. I turn my head to see my daughter was finally back.

"Olive ar- "

"I want to go home right now, sir." She said cutting me off.

Jaiden was really surprise of the attitude she give to her father.

"If that what you want we can go home right now..." i reply weakly.

She nodded her head in satisfation by the response.

"Allright, i will be waiting in the carriage." She said before walk out of the hall.

I turn my gaze to jaiden.

"We will go home right now." O said with my usual voice (order).

'Hmm... is she trying to kill me like an accident?' She tought to herself before she smile.
