"You're gentle, too"

The vassals, who laughed, soon entered the meeting. In the meantime, I sat still on the duke's lap. And in the middle of the story they heard in the temple or the imperial court, I answered.

After a while, the meeting ended. The vassals left one by one, and the grandfather, who had remained, approached me.

"Thank you for telling me this story."

'Thank you for saying that. It's all good for me.'

I had a lot of resentment about the church. When the child of real destiny appeared they threw me as a victim for the spirits. Besides, you can't dig up oriharkon from an old, monstrous plateau

"Here's a present."

The grandpa offered me a candy. I slipped my hand out the Duke of Dubbled's arms and pulled out the candy.The grandfather left the conference room with a big smile, saying,

"As expected, this child is very cute."

There's only two person left in the conference room, me and the Duke. He glanced at me, and took away the candies.

Shocked, I hardened and looked at the duke with empty hands and candy several times. And soon I was awfully sad.
'Candy. My candy.You son of a bitch, you're taking a kid's candy!'. The Duke of Dubbled gruesomely peeled the candy wrapping at once. And...

"Mouth"

'For me? 'Maybe, he's not that bad'

As soon as I thought so, the Duke pressed my cheek with both hands. Because of the pressure, my mouth opens like a carp, so he put candy in my mouth. 'Bad guy.' Still, the candy was delicious. He pressed my cheek, which was swollen by candy.

"When you get back to the capital, if someone gives you candy,tell them who your family is"

"No."

"Why?"

'Why should I tell people in the capital? It's the Imperial Palace, the Church, and the other Duke is on the next door, and they're all the people who have troubled me.' However, I couldn't tell you the reason every single time, so I told him in a condensed manner.

"Becwase I'm on thye dyuke side. (Because I'm on the Duke's side.)"

So far, the Dubbled was the only family that had not left me with a sad heart. The memory of the last few days seemed to bear the torment of going back to the capital four times. The candy was so delicious. Your blanket was warm. Lea's lullaby was good to listen to.

The Duke of Dubbled wasn't as evil as i've heard. Thinking so, I saw the duke. Wasn't that a smile?

Then, Lea came to pick me up.

"Little miss, Master,"

said Lea, who was glad to see me, while lowering her head.The Duke raised me up on the table.

"Don't let them wander noisily."

'Yes.Such a cold-blooded man would never have laughed.'

Back in the room, I stood in front of the sofa table and fell in love with the block game. 'Okay, one more up and it's on the 12th floor.One more. One more!'. The maids, who watched me play well alone, were chatting before I knew it.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

When Lea nodded, the maids covered their open mouths with their hands.

"Oh, my God."

"No way."

"Did the sun rise from the west? The master is worried about the baby."
