Leblaine left the room with the waiter, as Henry's eyes narrowed.
'What's wrong with that man....'
Henry was a genius who learned to write when he was just three years old, and his younger brother, who was a bit stupid by his standards, still had a brain that was smarter than the other children.
The environment is full of crafty adults. Henry, who lived in such a world, was unable to understand the naive child.
In addition.
He thought it was impossible for a child related to the church and the imperial family to know nothing.
I have to be careful.
Henry folded the parchment carefully, put it in the book, and turned to Isaac.
"You, if you stay stupid, there won't be any room left."
Then Isaac punched the wall with his fist. Henry looked like he saw earthworms strewn on the side of the road. Then the surprised Isaac hardened his face.
"Not a single thing about her is funny."
That afternoon, Isaac approached Leblaine.
"......"
The girl, who was playing alone with her buttons, raised her head.
Isaac approached him carefully, very awkwardly.
Leblaine muttered, showing a little of the buttons.
"There are two lines." (There are twelve)
"You..."
"What do you want to talk about. If you make trouble-"
When Leblaine blinked his eyes, Isaac touched his waist.
'Are you trying to pull out your sword?'
Isaac, who took something from his waist, was about to announce something to Leblaine. So, Leblaine quickly said,
"I'm so scared!"
"......."
"I'll eat bread alone in front of you."
Then Leblaine said quickly, "Hurt!", He backed off with a frightened face.
Henry muttered seeing the two of them.
"Are you two stupid?"
...***...
'That's....!'
Kids can be bad too. I can't believe you ate bread alone! If you were really a child, you would fight Isaac and try to steal bread.
'But, if I pluck out Isaac's precious hair, I'll be kicked out of here soon.'
"I won't see it." (i won't see it.)
"Smart girl."
Isaac smiled with a triumphant face. When he tried to stand up, I grabbed his collar.
"Why, why..." He asked confusedly.
"Roth...." (Bread.).
"This?"
As I nodded, Isaac cut the bread in half.
I quickly picked up the bread and bit it.
'Oh, sugar, of course.'
This stimulating taste.
Isaac looked at me as I was eating hurriedly and glanced at the bread I was holding. He stared sadly.
So I cut the bread and gave it to him
"No problem. I have more at home. "
Before we knew it, we squatted near the wall and ate bread. The servants who passed through the corridor laughed at us, and Henry, who was walking with a book, left, looking at Isaac with a strange look.
Lea found me when I was almost done with the bread.
"Geez, little lady."
Huh! I'm caught. Today Lea told me not to eat first, she gave me strawberries for a snack. Lea lately was worried I'd get cavities because I ate too much candy.
Lea looked at me, so I quickly made excuses.
"She gave it to me!" (Isaac gave it to me!)
Isaac looked at me in a panic, so he said.
"I gave it to him."
Lea smiled helplessly and wiped the crumbs from my mouth.
"You've had a great meal, so let's skip the snack today."
"Yes." Yeah."
"Then young master. I'll take him. It's time to take a nap."
"certain."
Leah hugged me and turned around. I waved at Isaac. Lea stroked my head as she walked towards my room.
"I heard you were very good in the dining room earlier."
"......"
"Little lady is so much fun that everyone will fall in love with you. I know they'll like you!"
No, Lea. Henry and Isaac don't like me.
Long sighs out. After Duke Dubbede, Henry and Isaac, suddenly appear.
I have to stay here for years before I defect. I better make a good impression. To do that, I had to chase them diligently. I have to meet them often to be closer to them. I clenched my hands determinedly.
...***...
I got up early and went down to the dining room for breakfast with Duke. Recently, Duke and I have often eaten together, but breakfast is an exception. It was breakfast early in the morning for me, a little boy, who had to sleep all day like a koala to replenish energy.
The reason why I woke up early today was because the followers told me that Henry and Isaac were back! In other words, the two children will be attending breakfast today. Henry and Isaac were always busy. If we don't meet at this time, I have no choice but to chase after them. But it would be disadvantageous because they would feel annoyed.
'So after this, of course, I will ask them to play with me.'
I poked my face through the dining room door. Duke sat in the middle of a long table. To his right sat Henry and Isaac.
"Isn't this little lady?"
All attention was on me. Duke looked at me too.
'This is too difficult. How do I get in?'
While suffering, Nos said with a smile.
"You must be here because you miss Duke!"
It wasn't like that, but I had nothing to say, so I just blinked.
When I glanced at Duke, he looked excited for a reason.
"Cabin."
I walked slowly to him.
She hugged me in her lap as I approached her.
After several meals on her lap, I became used to this.
"the rumors.... Right."." Right."
The first time when I became familiar with the followers, Dubos was always full of laughter.
"The baby sat well on Duke's lap from the start. He still eats in his lap. "
"......"
"The baby is very soft, very cute...."
"He's not picky. Isn't it wonderful that the little boy ate peppers and carrots so well?"
Isaac gasped at the mention of carrots. But the followers did not notice and continued. The people who spoke were all close aides to Duke who had witnessed many incidents including the 'Imco incident' and the 'fraud incident.'
They lifted their jaws and spoke confidently.
"He also has a good memory and is very good at greeting!"
Their eyes looked back at me.
The followers' eyes were like saying 'Show us!' They seem to be bragging. I opened my mouth, even though I had an unwilling look in my eyes.
"Hi...."
Dubos and the followers laughed proudly. I tried hard to see the situation where they were boasting and somehow the shame ambushed me.
Today, Henry and Isaac, look at the followers as if they were insane.
Mr. Dubos to me is a good parent, but he is the one in charge of Dubblede's intelligence department.
I once saw with my own eyes that the three men that Vallua had sent had been captured in the hands of Viscount Dubos and returned in the form of already being corpses.
Their tongues and some fingers were missing, it was very inhumane.
Even after successfully surviving, the word 'Dubos' was enough to trigger fear. So this kindness is proof of my longevity in this place.
I started talking about various things. Suddenly, the dining room door once again opened as a boring political debate unfolded and then stopped.
"Sorry it's too late."
The one who entered was an old man with white hair.
'Teramic.'
That person was the one whom Nos disliked.
