A few days later, the story of Theramore's madness spread among his imprisonment.
I tried to sneak past the underground prison to confirm the truth of the rumor.

As I walked around the entrance.
I lowered my head and tried to glance through the slight opening of the door.
Suddenly someone's leg obstructed my view and Viscount Dubus, the chief chancellor, emerged from the underground prison.
He was standing tall in front of me.
“
Miss
The little one
“
“
Hello
,
Oh
Theed
....
Do you?
You didn't humiliate me
You moan
Grandfather
Toyamo?
“
(
Hello
Oh
Master
…
Do you?
What

Grandfather
Theramore?
)
The question hid my true intention,
“
Do you?
True
That
Theramore
Lost
His mind?
“
,
He buried the truth in the innocent investigation.
“
No
,
His mind

“
Sir Dubus tried to feign a small cough when he realized his true thoughts were slipping out of his mouth in front of little Leblain.
Dobus watched her innocent eyes blink as if his words were too strange for her young mind to comprehend.
He laughed hard and scratched his head.
“
Interrogation
It's over
.
I have
I made sure
Who
It is
I won't
He does

Something

I promise
“
“
Wow
!
Thank you
For you
Theed
Dobos

(
Wow
!
Thanks
For you
Master
Dobos
!)
After I felt the burden that was weighing on my mind being lifted,
I skipped away from the prison entrance happily.
'
I was

Theramore

'.
After parting with Viscount Dubus, she wandered around the castle,
I felt the cool breeze gently caress my warm cheek.
The garden and flowers looked more vibrant than yesterday.
Everything seemed more beautiful than usual as the bad man Theramore disappeared.
'
Ah
,
Who
The good
That
Relax
Who
While
To another
…’
The passing staff smiled and greeted me cheerfully when they saw me walking around the castle happily.
“

Since the Theramore Incident,
Leah and the maids were giving me lots of snacks.
For fear that the offensive means of Theramore would frighten me;
Maids are more pampered than ever.
“
person
Scum
“
“
To die
!
"
Damn you
!"
The maids hurled terrible, brutal insults at Theramore whenever they remembered what the corrupt man had done to me.
Leia was the only calm one in the storm of curses.
Suddenly, her chair rattled as she stood up and entered the kitchen.
The other maids were silent.
They looked at Leia's sudden action with horror.
'
What
Really
Earth?
'
Just then Leah came out.
With a kitchen knife...
“
I will kill
Theramore
“
Her menacing appearance shrewdly shocked the maids.
If Leia wasn't afraid of the Duke,
Perhaps Theramore left the world that same night.
'
It was
Her eyes
On fire
Who
Anger
In a way
Scary
…’
When the idea of Leah with a kitchen knife flashed into my mind,
I couldn't help but feel a shiver down my spine.
After venting their pent-up anger,
The maids surrounded me in their arms and suddenly I burst into tears.
One of the maids broke off sobbing and asked a question that had been gnawing at her.
“
What
…
What
If
He was injured
The child
In shock
Psychological?
"
"
What?
“
“
Except
It happens
This
A lot?
When
No

Throughout

Because

“.
Since that night, they have showered me with snacks and told me things like:
“
Miss
The little one
She
More expensive
“
“
No
Worry
Oh
Miss
Small
,
The bad guys
They will be punished
!
“
No

Oh

etc.

She played a happy tune as I tossed and turned in my room.

As I jumped onto the chair, the maids quickly surrounded me like bees and began chanting their usual encouragement.
“
You
Courage
Very
Oh
Miss
Small
“
“
Wait for us
The little one
She
The smartest
“
“
Miss

She

“
I could only nod at their adoring praises.
I tapped my feet impatiently as I waited for the snack platter.
But… something seemed strange.
No matter how long I waited, no snacks came,
The maids started combing my hair.
Dalia pulled the sleeve of one of the maids present and asked her:
“
Where?
The flutters
The swish?
“
(
Where

“.
'
Why
!!!’
I felt imaginary tears streaming down my cheeks.
It's already frustrating enough that snack time is late,
But I had to eat with the Duke as an extra….
I couldn't help but shudder.
My mind flashed back to the chance meeting yesterday.
When I accidentally bumped into the Duke yesterday,
His frightened expression was even more terrifying than usual.
Perhaps, because the meetings with the subordinates went worse than he expected,
Its usual intense effect became worse.
'
I think
I am
I suffer
Who
Pain
In
Stomach
.’
At this rate, I should be taking digestive medications beforehand.
With a huge desperate sigh, she got up and stumbled into the elephant's bag.
* * *
Doubled was already sitting at the table when she finally reached the dining room.
Foods were placed on a long table, waiting to be fed.
When I was about to take my seat, the door opened.
Isik's character is revealed through the gap on the wooden door.
“
Evening
Goodness
Oh
Duke
“
Isaac bowed as he greeted the Duke.
The poised Duke gave a slight nod in his direction.
'
How are you?
Here
.
Do you?
He will come
Henry
For dinner
Also?
'
Just after she thought of Henry, the door of the large dining room opened again and the sound of a light footstep was heard approaching from outside the room.
“
Evening
Goodness
Oh
Duke
“
The next person bowed his head to the Duke.
As usual, Henry looked elegant and elegant in his simple outfit.
“
Here you go
By sitting down
“
Instead of returning Henry's greeting,
The Duke simply sighed and pointed to the empty chair.
Henry couldn't help but raise his head and approached his assigned seat.
'
Do you?
You
Fine
Now?
'
The question regarding Henry's well-being was flowing from my anxious mind.
Over the entire week since Theramore's confinement,
Henry had been locking himself in his room while the castle was raging in a storm.
All servants who had previously served him were temporarily banned from entering his room.
The only people allowed inside are a maid and a doctor.
Providing food to him and checking on his health.
Other than them, no one in this area was allowed to pass through the door.
'
arm
Infected
…
Hmmm
,
Look
Better
Much
.’
Theramore's abusive ways towards Henry worried me deeply because I was used to being a victim of similarly horrible people and this was the worst thing I had ever been through.
She sat up and looked at the Duke and Henry.
The last time I saw the two interact was when the Duke was questioning Henry before he ran away, not wanting to tell everyone what Theramore had done to him.
Could they have become more distant since then?
Breaking the perpetual silence, Henry spoke.
“
Duke
,
I would like
That
I ask
Your permission

'
Do you?

Do you?

'
She was surprised by his sudden request, but the Duke responded without worry.
“
Why?
“
“
I

It will be
There

“
Only then did the Duke look at Henry.
His eyes were not filled with anger, but rather full of kindness.
“
Okay
“
,
This short reply ended the conversation between these two.
While all eyes in the room were looking at the two,
The parties involved were not bothered by the outlook.
I could only force myself to swallow my complaint.

'
It wasn't that I didn't understand where they were coming from.
The Duke and Henry grew up in a distinguished family.
The Duke, at Henry's age, nearly died in the war; Meanwhile, Henry has been abused by his teacher in these past years.

'
She looked at the Duke with bright eyes, and the Duke, feeling the look,
He thought I was staring at the glazed strawberries on his plate.
“
You
You love?
Desserts
,
Alice
Also?
Give me
Your dish
.
I will give you
Some
. “
He then brought my plate to his side before transferring the strawberries to him.
All while I wasn't aware of the intense glare I was giving him.
I couldn't help but keep worrying about Henry.
I, as a child, didn't really like people's attention,
However I still believe that every child needs their parents' attention.
Especially a kid like Henry who preferred to keep everything to himself.
'
What
Ali
That
I do?
'
I hurriedly shook the duke's sleeve and said.
“
It blows

“
(

“….”
'
Do you?
Henry

Strawberry?
I hope
That
He does
That
Or
That

In vain
'
The Duke looked at me, but there was no answer, so I told him again.
“
Henley

,
Falaula
“
(
Henry
Also
,
Strawberry
)
“….”
“
Henley
!
Falafula
! “
(
Henry
!
Strawberry
!)
She screamed in frustration until the Duke somehow flinched.
He looked at Henry and moved his fork slowly.
His movement was harsh.
As if this was his first time using cutlery.
and….
“….”
Henry's eyes twitched as he studied the strawberries the Duke had left on his plate as if they were unreal.
There was no change in either of their expressions and neither of them spoke.
The stifling embarrassment can be felt miles away.
I endured the inconvenience and prepared myself as I shook the Duke's sleeve again.
After a moment, the silence finally broke.
"…
all
."
"…
Thank you
…."
It pleased me.
'
Okay
Okay
.’
This will not break the high wall between the Duke and Henry,
But I hope it improves their relationship a little.
I looked at the two of them alternately with a big happy smile on my face.
With a childish smile, I said to the Duke,
“
What
He
The kite?
“
(
What
He
The error?
)
“

(

You should not discriminate as a parent.
“…….”
The Duke moved his cutlery again,
His eloquence was nowhere to be found and only solidity remained,
When he moved his piece of strawberry onto Izik's plate.
* * *
I rubbed my stomach sadly as I left the dining room after a stifling dinner.
'
It was
The atmosphere
More
Who
Necessary
On
My nerves
'.
I shook my head, contemplating whether I should ask Leah for more food.
Today's snack was a muffin with sweet pickled peaches...maybe I should just wait for it?
'
Okay
…
What
Ali
That
I do
While
Wait
Meals
Light?
'
It was funny to see myself thinking about what I should do in my free time.
In my first and second life, I was desperate to take a vacation,
But now I had a lot of free time and I was thinking about what to fill it with.
“
What
Ali
That
I do?
“
Such freedoms used to be a dream,
I never would have imagined it could happen.
'
Do you?
I
Indeed
In
Heaven?
'
I thought seriously.
The sudden sight before me woke me from my daydreams,
The door at the end of the corridor on the first floor opened.
'
huh?
'
This door was what separated the eastern and western wings of the property.
The east wing was a place where strangers could come and go, such as the office, conference room, and guest library.
On the other hand,
The West Wing was an exclusive space for only Doppeld's relatives.
It is where the duke's bedroom and the brothers' room were.
Thus, the door at the end of the first floor corridor connecting the eastern and western gates will always be closed.
'
Wing
Western
.
Yes
Type
Who
place
He?
'
I have just been adopted, and the Duke has prepared my room in the west wing,
But my room is currently undergoing renovation, so until the renovation is complete,
I was still living in the VIP room in the East Wing.
“
I will live
There
In
The end
On
Yes
Status
,
So
Except
I can
Login
And throwing
Look?
“
I glanced around once I was sure no one was around.
I crossed the corridor stealthily and opened the door that would eventually lead me to the West Wing.
"
wow
…."
I exploded with admiration at what I saw before me.
Of course, the east wing was excellent in every respect, but it was decorated as a façade to preserve the dignity and virtue of the duchy as strangers came and went.
The west wing was completely different from the east wing.
The soft, warm-colored marble sparkles brilliantly,
It reflects the sunlight streaming in from the tall windows.
The trees planted on the ground at the end of the hall gave off a pleasant forest scent.
If the Fairy King lived in a castle, this is what his castle would be.
While looking around madly in the majestic hall,
I found a doorless corridor with an arch-shaped corridor.
I stuck my head out from behind the wall.
'
plate?
'
I took a giant picture on one side of the wall.
But the room was very shabby, contrasting with the majestic hall,
It was decorated only with a painting.
There was only an old embroidery board embedded in the middle of the top of the frame.
I looked at the huge artwork.
The face that filled the picture was that of an old man.
Although his hair was gray and wrinkles covered his entire face, his grace and beauty could be felt even outside the world of painting.
