The Duke left the city for inspection as he said. Lea said it would take about 20 days for him to be back. Those 20 days were days of training for me. 'You have to succeed and be adopted.'

So I was putting up my socks today as well. 'Oh, it's a success if you cross your heel, but it's hard.It was because I couldn't control my delicate muscles.'

It's already noon since I've been busy training. It was time for lunch. I left the room looking for Lea. I used to be with her all the time, but she was away for some reason today. The maids have been out since dawn.

"You can enter and stay in one of the guest rooms."

"The baby.......will be leaving right away"

Butlers and maids were busy discussing something. The faces of the vassals who walked in and out of the hall were also stiff.

'What?'

When I heard a rumbling sound, I tilted my head to the butler, and soon he understands it.

"Yes, little miss."

"I'm hungwy"

"Okay, i'll look for Lea."

"Wet's go wight now (let's go right now.)"

The butler smiled kindly and held my hand. It was when I was walking along the hall with him.

"What nonsense is that!"

'Ak!' There's a loud shout out there in the distance. I held the butler's hand tight. My heart was pounding. There are people who are so angry. Something really must be going on.

'What could it be?'
I was thinking about it, but I heard another shout.

"How can a priest of the Church cross the gate without permission!"

"It's to take the baby home, take her home after his return."

That's also a job. It could be an excuse to spy the inside of dubbled's castle.

" For now, isn't the Pope the legal guardian of the baby? How can you refuse when her guardian is coming?"

"The guardian doesn't need the owner's permission to take the child."

You're coming from the church? Picking me up?
Linda, your shoulders are shaking. Then the butler called out, "Little miss?" but I couldn't answer.
what was going on?

If they take me to the capital city, I'll be headed for re-adoption immediately. Besides, the fact that the church, not the empress, is coming to take me to their chosen place of adoption is bad.I know it because I've heard it in my previous life. The place the church has recommended is.....

'Vallua.'

When I remembered the Duke of Vallua, my eyes were red with anger.

<Dubbled>

Everyone in Dubbled is a cold-blooded person. It was due to the Dubbled's special teaching method, which had a short history of their own. The only path as a dubbled is to be slaughtered or slaughter.

Theodore Dubbled, the current Duke of Dubbled was one of the most completely molded in the history of the Dubbleds.

Unrivaled power, sense and intelligence that doubled the family's fortune after only a few years on the throne. A man who thoroughly excluded emotions with such talent has aroused appalling fears of anyone.

The same thing happened to the vassals and officers who went on an inspection tour with Theodore. The restaurant remained quiet throughout the lunch.
