The Soul Substitute Trash of the Duke Family
Chapter 9

Leona was in her room and was reminded of the box that was found last night. He decides to open the box he got from Iris's room and tries to open the box in various ways and weapons, but his attempts fail.

Leona even told Jim to open the box, but the young man could not open it either.

Leona breathed a frustrated sigh. He then groped the box and found an inscription under the box.

Leona read it, it turns out how to open this box using a drop of blood.

"All right, I'll try." Leona muttered while biting her thumb until it bled and dripped on the box.

'Poft's'

The box was open and contained several old books, a letter and some jewelry belonging to the late Duchess. Leona picked up the letter and read it.

Leona's emotions were mixed up after reading the letter. A truth about him just unfolds

Her mother was the daughter of the leader of a clan that had been slaughtered to the ground by the present King of Seanthuria for endangering the kingdom and empire for having the privilege of controlling the natural elements without using mana.

In the letter it is written if the members of his clan managed to survive and mingle with ordinary residents scattered in several places. His mother is from the Tigries clan. The clan's distinctive feature is that it has a flat iris like a cat's eye with beautiful eyes and has a Japanese-European face.

His mother purposely divided his soul in two and separated him into other dimensions, it was fitting that he felt able to adapt in this strange world well and as if he recognized them well.

When his soul returns, his mother sends him away from the Castallio residence with Jim, who turns out to be his own distant cousin.

Her mother also bequeathed the jewelry which was a hereditary inheritance from her mother's clan.

Leona was crying hard. Jim who was outside heard the cry hurriedly knocked on the door.

"Leona, are you okay?" Jim panicked.

There was no answer other than sobs that still sounded loud. Fearing something happened to Leona, Jim immediately walked in and found her crying hysterically hugging her knee.

"Leona, what's wrong?" Jim approached Leona. Leona looked up with a teary face, puffy eyes and snot that spilled out.

"I'm fine, hicks.. Jim." - Jim." Leona hurriedly wiped away her tears that had soaked her face.

After feeling calm, Leona watched Jim intently, making the young man nervous. Jim does have a handsome face with the same Japanese-European blaster like him. Beautiful brown eyes with flattened irises like a cat.

"You know the Tigries clan?" Leona asked Jim. Jim's expression changed.

"In my mother's letter it was written that they had beautiful eyes with flat irises like cats, just like my eyes. I just realized your eyes are beautiful and her irises are flat like mine." Obviously Leona. Instantly Jim's face reddened to hear the praise given by Leona.

"True, my mother is from the Tigries clan. She married the baron Houlise and became a concubine. Unfortunately he died a few years ago." Jim is honest.

"Then, what if we get out of this house, Jim?" Leona proposed with a hopeful look.

"I'll follow you, Leona. Ever since I became your personal ministry and learned the fact you're my family, I've devoted myself my entire life." Jim said seriously.

Leona smiled. "Thank you, Jim. Please help."

💠💠💠💠💠

Leona boiled the plucked plants during practice with Jim in her pavilion kitchen. Looks a variety of small-sized bottles with a variety of colors plastered on the table.

Sometimes Leona read books about the mother's medicine while stirring her homemade ingredients. After he finished, he immediately put the liquid on a bottle and stored it neatly.

Leona immediately exits her pavilion and accidentally crosses paths with Emillio who walks along with Iris while chatting. Leona glanced at him at a glance then ignored them and immediately continued on her way.

Emillio who saw Leona could only stare at the girl with a complicated gaze. After his mother's departure, he never reached out to his own younger brother. Especially after knowing if the younger brother does not have mana as a noble in general makes him feel embarrassed.

"Sister, are you listening to me?" Iris asked as she received no response from Emillio.

Emillio flinched and stared at Iris flatly. "Hn. I heard."

Iris looked at the young man in full search and then exhaled in annoyance.

"Iris, I want to rest. You go." Emillio immediately left Iris alone. He lowered his head sadly.

Leona leapt from tree to tree agilely like a ninja. He looked for suitable land and immediately warmed up. He also trained in martial arts and tried his homemade poison on a rabbit he met.

The poison is deadly. Within minutes, the rabbit died. He also tried his concoction on some of the animals he encountered.

In his previous life, he was a poison master. He can also create his own antidote.

Leona smiled in satisfaction and healed the animal she was made into.

"Hm... I think I made cosmetic products. Body care products may be the best solution considering here rarely people who do body care other than the nobles." Thought Leona.

"Tonight I want to eat fish soup and grilled fish." Leona muttered while glancing around. His eyes found a river not far away.

Leona decided to catch a fish with a fairly strong twig with the tip that has been tapered. He immediately went down into the river and caught some fish that were quite large. He tried several times, but failed. Even the branch of the tree was broken which upset him.

"What can I do. In the stun, ah~" muttered Leona and drained chakra into her hands to produce electricity. He immediately came out of the water and dipped an electric hand into the river. Instantly many floating fish fainted which made him cheer happily.

In a hurry Leona collected large fish and let the small fish float away. After all they just fainted, soon they will come back to their senses and swim.

After finishing collecting fish that turned out to be very much, Leona immediately looked for some ingredients that might be cooked. He went through the forest and found a bunch of wild mushrooms that could be eaten. His eyes immediately sparkled happily and plucked it.

"Wah~ I'll have a full meal tonight~"

💠💠💠💠💠

Leona entered the kitchen with a large fish that was quite a lot and several packages of leaves containing mushrooms made some of the chefs who were there shocked.

Leona ignored it and immediately took out two large basins as well as a knife. He immediately dissected the fish.

"Miss, let us." Said one of the servants.

"No, it's easy." Leona continued her activities.

"But Miss... "

"You better clean this mushroom." Sahut Leona while continuing her activities.

The servant complied and followed Leona's instructions. Because the dinner hour was still a long time, so the main residence kitchen was still quiet.

"Miss, what are you doing?" Asked the kitchen head in panic when he saw Leona holding a knife.

"I killed the waiter here and cooked the meat." Sahut Leona was ignorant while continuing her activities that made some servants shudder in horror and away from there.

"Miss, make jokes don't go too far." Reproved Jim is upset. I don't know when the waiter was in the kitchen.

Leona just grinned without sin and then showed off the fish that had been cleaned in her stomach. Reach them all sweatdrop ria.

"Miss, you better let us finish it." Said one of the servants.

"Ah, then please help you clean this up. Then prepare the furnace and the roof." Leona's orders. He also told some condiments to the waiter to puree.

The servants were now busy helping Leona. The girl immediately looked for some ingredients to make fish soup.

"You guys peel this." Leona's orders on some waiter.

"Miss, the furnace is ready."

"Miss, the mushrooms and the fish have been cleaned. Let us cook."

"Let me, Uncle."

"No, Miss. Just let us. We don't want to get a punishment from Mr. Duke." Said the waiter with a pleading look.

Leona complies and orders the head chef to cook. He gave instructions to the head chef. The fragrant smell of sauteed seasonings and the aroma of fried fish are rattling in the kitchen. Instantly their stomachs were rumbling, yet hesitated to taste her.

They sat in the kitchen for an hour and a half and finished cooking.

Leona tasted her a little and nodded in satisfaction then took part for her and Jim.

"Jim, take it to the pavilion." Leona.

Jim immediately picked up the tray and brought along the food that Leona had picked up.

"The rest is for you. If you're left, you can share it with the guards." Said Leona and immediately left from there on the ekori by Jim.

After Leona left, they immediately tasted the dish hesitantly.

"Wah~ This is heaven's world!" Screeched the head chef.

"I don't know if wild mushrooms can be as delicious as this~"

"Even the fish."

They immediately left the food for the Duke's family and distributed the food to the other guards and servants.
