The Soul Substitute Trash of the Duke Family
Chapter 7

The southern region, especially the kingdom of Seanthuria was horrendous with the appearance of a masked human figure with pomegranate red eyes that had the retina of the eye like a cat's retina.

The figure appeared suddenly and destroyed a noble residence that was the target of the emperor's suspicion, capturing fugitives and exterminating some troubling bandits.

The appearance of the figure made the royal side a little helped because their duties were reduced by a lot, but they investigated the masked human figure in order to be on their side to reap personal benefits.

Many parties want to capture the figure, both to be invited to cooperate and killed. But the figure was never known to exist, as if he was a ghost.

Rumor has it that the figure can manipulate natural elements and has no magic. It was similar to using aura and magic, but there was no trace of aura nor mana left behind in each of its appearances.

Leona heard the report just smirked faintly. A little more he will leave this residence. Nearly a month in this residence made him sick.

Since that dinner, neither the father nor the brother of the owner of this body ever visited him. Even Iris was never willing to set foot into this Lotus pavilion.

Leona silently watched Iris, a look of malice and envy emanated clearly in the girl's eyes as she stared at the owner of this body.

Leona admitted that the body she was in was very beautiful. The skin as white as a Korean woman who looks clean radiant, look sharp eyes with beautiful ruby red beads. The retina of the flat eye is like the retina of a cat. If you pay close attention, there is a black line like eyeliner on the lash line that makes it look sharp.

Leona stared at the reflection of her face, looking like an Asian-European crossbreed. More precisely Japan-Europe. Is the world filled with blaster or something?

"Leona, didn't you bring a knight?" Jim asked while he was styling Leona's hair. Jim's question managed to make Leona wake up from the show glaring at her own shadow.

"Have I not been out all this time? You know, Jim, my job used to be to pursue the love of stupid, old-fashioned fools. Now I'd love to explore the world and live free." Said Leona in flames.

Jim took a ribbon-shaped hairpin with a small pearl tassel as his sweetener. He carefully clasped Leona's hair so that her hairdo was not messy considering the girl's haircut was irregular.

"At least seeing you start to dare to come out of the residence makes me relieved." Jim Sahut. The young man spoke without manners as usual if only the two were with Leona. Of course, by Leona's insistence.

"Wah~ Your hairdo is great, Jim. Even better than a maid's job. Thanks." Praise Leona sincerely.

Jim blushed to hear Leona's praise. "It's my duty, Miss." Jim's voice is low.

"All right, let's go."

💠💠💠💠

"Sir Leona, where are you going? I'm coming, huh?" Iris ran over to Leona, who was now walking towards the gate of the Castallio residence.

Leona glanced at Irene lazily. "I hear our family subscription boutique is bringing out limited edition autumn clothing. I want to go there to buy it." Said Iris fiery.

"I didn't go there. I just want to go to the city library. If you want to go there, don't come with me." Leona Sahut.

"But I want to join~" Whine Iris spoiled.

"You can go with your own train." Sahut Leona cynical. Instantly his mood was shattered because of this selfless girl. It is fitting that the real Leona does not like Iris, it turns out that this girl is very annoying and spoiled.

"I want to come to~!" Shouting Iris made Leona growl in anger.

"Do you want to walk? Even though I'm the Duke's biological daughter, I don't have a horse carriage as good as this family's." Leona's sharp speech made Iris speechless.

Leona immediately left Iris with a cocky feeling. Staying longer with the woman makes her emotions like being on a roller coaster, circling furrowed before coming out to vomit.

Leona approached Jim who was at the front gate of the Castallio residence while holding a bear child who was staring at him with a sparkling gaze.

"Where are you going, miss?" Ask the gatekeeper when he sees Leona and Jim start leaving the gate.

"We want to go to the central library." Leona politely.

"Sorry if I'm sassy. You are not allowed to leave the residence without an escort, Miss." The gatekeeper said firmly.

Leona turned her head and looked at the gatekeeper with a judging look. The parasite is handsome enough to be the size of a knight.

"Are you a knight on duty?" Ask Leona. The knight replied, "Right Miss. I'll be done soon."

"I borrowed your friend!" Leona said as she dragged the knight, making her comrade could only gawk at her departure.

"I hope you can come back whole." The prayer of the gatekeeper to his friend who was dragged away by Leona.

After walking far enough away from the Castallio residence, Leona held the hand of the gatekeeper of her residence and Jim's hand then disappeared from there. They finally appeared in a fairly quiet alley not far from downtown Eige. The gatekeeper collapsed and pulled out his stomach while Jim sat down while holding back the dizziness that hit his head while hugging the bear child who was also dizzy.

"You guys okay?" Leona asked as she scanned around.

"We're fine, Miss." Answer them in unison with a lethargic tone.

After their condition improved, they immediately went towards the library located in the center of the city. Luckily his chi bunshin marked some important spots in the city center, so it was not time-consuming on the trip.

"What's your name?" Leona asked the knight she had kidnapped from the Castallio residence.

"I'm Axel, Miss."

"All right, Sir Axel. We go to the central library first." Leona told them their purpose.

"Good, Miss."

💠💠💠💠💠

They arrived at a large three-story building. Soon they entered the room and observed his surroundings. The city library is quite crowded with visitors, both ordinary people and nobles can be seen mingling here.

"You guys loan some books and we sit there." Leona ordered while pointing to a long table located in the corner of the room.

"But Nona–" Axel was about to refuse, but Leona was wry with a fierce expression that made them shrivel instantly.

"Good, Miss." They agreed and immediately borrowed some books. Leona herself searched about some important books as well as the history of the kingdom and empire.

After getting the book he wanted, they immediately headed to the corner of the room and read seriously.

"Well, I didn't think this body was perfect. Being able to understand and remember quickly amazes me." Inner Leona pleased. He didn't have to waste a long time reading books.

Jim and Axel could only look at their miss in horror. How not, they only read three books in two hours. Leona almost read three thick stacked books that had now been piled up in front of her within two hours.

"Miss, lunchtime's almost past." Said Jim. While Axel looked at the lady timidly.

"Oh, it's already noon. All right, let's go get some food." Said Leona while stretching her stiff body. Soon Leona returns the books to her place and gets out of there.

Leona observed around and immediately went around looking for a food stall she thought was suitable. The era where caste was highly respected made him upset.

"Basic is not ashamed! Get out of front of me!" The clapping sound made Leona switch her attention and look for the origin of the sound. There was a crowd not far to his right. Leona soon approaches the crowd followed by Jim and Axel.

It looks like some female nobles are struggling with a handsome man holding the hand of a girl.

"Where do rich men look disgusting." Leona muttered that Axel and Jim could still hear.

"Low nobles like you dare to snatch my lover? It's really uncivilized!" Snapped one of the nobles with thick makeup.

"You who are not ashamed! He's fiancee and you took him!" The noble lady cried out in flames.

"Wow, what an interesting spectacle. Do we need to buy a snack, Jim?" Leona asked while yawning. Jim and Axel could only frown upon hearing the lady's curse.

"No need, Miss. You better have lunch soon." Reject Jim firmly.

"Sir Axel, what do you think? Who cried first?" Leona asked Axel who was watching the impromptu drama.

"I don't know, Miss."

"Then we go find food. Besides they don't scratch and trap each other." Leona said casually as she dragged them away from the crowd which made Jim and Axel sweatdrop.

"It looks like you're starving so your speech style is starting to wander, Miss." Jim's chirps made Axel break out in cold sweat.

Leona smiled very sweetly that was presented to Jim, not forgetting the murderous gaze that made Axel shudder in fear.

"Jim, shut up."

"Ahem~" Jim smiled sweetly and immediately put on a flat expression.
