...***...
My eyes were wide open in surprise.
'Name of the late Duchess!'
I also took the ring next to him. As I thought, there's a name engraved there.
'Theodine...'
And yet later,
"Theodor."
A voice came from the door before I finished reading the name on the ring.
A woman was leaning against the door frame with her hands folded looking at me and then making a sound,
"Who are you, why are you in my room?"
She has clear blue eyes which is the symbol of Dubbede.
I know a person who has such a beautiful appearance and a low but sweet voice that everyone who passes by her turns towards her at least once.
Yes, she's my aunt, Javelin Ariage.
"Why did you read Risette's letter in my room?"
This is Javelin's room?
I almost jumped in surprise, I didn't come here on purpose.
This place was too cramped and seedy for the Duke brother in charge of the mansion. I never thought that this was Javelin's room.
"Sorry, I was -"
I was just about to give you an answer.
"Feel this!"
Along with Isaac's voice, the dagger came to me. Javelin turned around lightly and caught the dagger between his index finger and middle finger.
"You're supposed to hide your whereabouts if you want to hit me from behind."
Isaac, who approached Javelin with a grin, saw me in the room and then his eyes widened.
"Belk!!"
He hurried and looked at me in a hurry.
"I didn't know you were here. You're not hurt, are you?"
"I stopped your dagger, so the boy won't get hurt."
As Javelin spoke in a soft voice, Isaac shouted.
"This child is very fragile and has a heart as soft as cotton. Be kinder to him!"
Javelin frowned and it felt like I wanted to hide in a rat hole.
Isaac frowned and said,
"What are you doing? Are you bullying this little boy?"
"No! No!"
I quickly grabbed Isaac.
Even if it was a misunderstanding, it was indeed my fault for casually entering someone else's room. I should have checked Javelin's room first. I didn't know he'd use a cramped room with no windows.
I stood up and approached Javelin.
"My name is Leblaine Risett-"
"Child of destiny."
He just looked at me and said nothing.
He is not easy to get along with, and is cold towards others. He didn't even answer people's greetings, so some people were reluctant to greet him.
"Little girl."
Lea came to see me.
"You're here apparently."
"What's up, Lea?"
"It's time to eat."
Lea who stood up with a smile, bowed to Javelin.
Javelin looked at him and loosened the folds of his hands.
"When are you going to be mine?"
As he said that, he slowly raised Lea's chin with his index finger.
The servants who had come with Lea blushed and looked dazed.
She has a cold personality, but she is very popular among women rather than men.
Well problem-matter
The girls fall in love with Javelin.
A young woman waved a handkerchief while shouting "Please have me too!"
Captain of the Empress's bodyguard and captain of the white horse battalion, a unit of female knights.
Javelin Ariage's.
Lea smiled.
"Your joke is too much."
"You're not blushing, not blushing."
With his hands crossed again, he went to his room and closed the door.
"Come on, little lady? Your Majesty is waiting."
"Yes." Yeah."
I nodded my head and held Leah's hand.
As I walked into the dining room, father and Henry sat facing each other. Isaac, who was following me, sat down and told me to sit next to him.
The meal did not begin until I sat down.
Isaac brought a cup of milk to me and said, Isaac,
"Auntie is here."
Henry who cut and put meat on my plate replied,
"Auntie?"
"Yes, he was with Leblaine earlier."
"Is everything okay?"
I nodded at Henry's words.
"He just asked who I was, I went to his room because I didn't know it was his room."
"Yes, the room deserves to be misunderstood."
Henry stroked my head, looking sorry for not telling me before.
"Sir, my aunt is a very scary person. If you're not careful..."
Javelin aura is too strong. Even though they were half-brothers, I didn't know that he would be so similar to my father.
"Don't be afraid. Our aunt never touched a woman."
"You never know. Because he hates the church more than anyone in Dubbede."
The story is very famous.
This is a story I heard in my second life, one day, Javelin accidentally said it while he was drunk.
"I lost three of my precious people to the church."
I didn't know the three were that person, but I knew one person.
Empress Elsa.
Adrian's mother who died.
I noticed she was very close to the late empress.
The healthy woman suffered from an illness for less than a month she died.
They did not examine her body further because the priest said that the empress' holy power had been contaminated.
Javelin seems to have thought the cause of Empress Elsa's death was the work of the church in collaboration with Empress Yvonne. I think so too ...
'Hmm, then how disgusted is he with me who comes from the church?'
I can see why his eyes are so cold.
"Auntie is also the worst in Dubbede when she's angry."
As I looked at Lea for confirmation, she smiled awkwardly and nodded.
'Ahhhhh!'
'I don't want to bother him, but it's already happened!'
Surely those letters were very special to him because he kept them instead of giving them to Duke.
I can't say anything because I read such a precious thing freely.
How can I make it up to you?
'Should I give him a gift?'
After eating, I went back to my room and asked Lea.
"What does Javelin like?"
"Well, I've never seen Javelin show his liking.... But why?"
"I want to be friends with Javelin."
"Good, she's a lonely woman."
Lonely javelins?
I grunt.
She is the queen of socialites, and she has a large following. Hearing the news he was attending the party would make the party sought, so the invitations came from various places.
"All his friends have died and he has never been close to anyone."
"Friends?"
"I mean, Duchess and empress. He cares a lot about Duchess. And he waited for his fourth nephew to be born. "
"Fourth... fourth child?"
My father's fourth son, who died without being born.
When the witch told her that the fourth child was a woman, the people in Dubblede castle were very happy.
Maybe the same goes for Dad, there are little shoes for girls in his drawer.
At first, I didn't know it was for her fourth child. I asked Nos because I was curious about the shoes.
He gave a sad look for a moment and replied.
"It belongs to the fourth child. His Majesty waited so long that he made the baby girl's shoes first."
Now I know why Javelin stopped me from talking when I introduced myself.
'Because I received his friend's name as a middle name, a child of the church.'
I feel a little heavy in my heart.
'Everyone would be happy if the fourth child was born.'
Then there's no need for Dad and Javelin to be lonely. And the sister must be happy with their real sister.
I thought so, but Lea's expression darkened.
I think he's worried about me wanting to be friends with Javeline.
At the door, Lea bent her knees and made eye contact with me.
"You can be good friends with Javelin. Because you look like Duchess."
"I....?"
I've seen the Duchess's painting.
Unlike me, who had light brown hair, she had brilliant blonde hair, and she was pretty enough to attract everyone's attention.
I've changed a lot in my life, but I'm not as pretty as Risette.
"I don't look like him."
Lea laughs.
"Not your face, but your behavior."
"behavior?"
"Sometimes, you say something similar to Duchess Risette."
"You are very similar to Mrs Risette. So I feel like you're his dead daughter"
"Lea."
Someone called his name.
Lea and I looked at her in surprise. That's Javelin sound.
His voice was much colder and fiercer than before. So I grimaced with bated breath.
"Who is Risette's daughter?"
Leah became pale.
Javelin seems to care about Lea, but if he makes a mistake, he will not give mercy.
'I've heard before in my past life, that Javelin is capable of killing its own people.'
I went to Javelin.
"Sorry, Lea didn't say that, she didn't say that I was Risette's daughter, she was just trying to cheer me up. I said I wanted to be good friends with my aunt. That's so!"
As I spoke urgently, Javelin eyes narrowed.
"Why me?"
"Because aunt is one of my family..."
