Same time in the Tower of Wisdom
.
The Senate meeting was filled with many aristocrats
.
“
Where is the president who is supposed to advise on such situations?
“
“
He said that he would be in isolation for the time being due to the Theramore incident
“
Everyone had suffered because of the Theramore Incident
.
“
Sure, but that's because the deadline has arrived
“
cried the excited aristocrat
.
“
If the president does not come forward, we must stop him ourselves
!
“
You are very stubborn
“
“
But if we leave it that way,
Destiny's child will take over Doubled
!
“
It doesn't make sense for an adopted commoner to look after the estate in Doppeld's name
…”
“
If he had married again, this terrible thing would not have happened
.
Why not start your search now?
“
“
It will take at least a year or two to find a suitable family
“
“
Well, the Duchess should have had another daughter
.
This way, he wouldn't be influenced by an unqualified girl
“.
The sheikh, who was sitting in the upper seat on behalf of the president, rubbed his chin
.
“
Wait
…
This would be enough to have another eligible daughter
“
“
Excuse me?
“
He looked back at Baron Stone
.
“
How old was your daughter you said?
“
“
What?
“
***
My daily life became chaotic
.
“
Little Miss, our ward staff has served Doppelganger's blood relatives from generation to generation
.
I'm sure it would help if we were around
“.
“
Leah and all of us will take good care of her
!
The staff was very busy every day
.
She fled into the garden to escape the maids from the West Wing
.
'
I'm so tired these days that I don't have time to go to the greenhouse to see the money
.’
I sat behind a big tree and held my breath until the maids were away
.
'
Let's play here and come back when the evening comes
.’
I looked at the flowers in the garden
.
The winds of winter have not abated,
Yet the flowers were in full bloom
.
It was because of the mana stone
.
The more vivid the color, the more power it can hold,
The mana stone in the garden was extremely vital
.
Moreover, it was very large
.
'
It would be nice to take that with me when I run away later
.’
'
It must be expensive
.’
That's what I thought when I picked flowers in the garden
.
I was making a bouquet for Leah
.
Leah prefers wildflowers that people find on the side of the road rather than those prepared by a gardener
.
So I looked for small wildflowers that gardeners had never seen before
.
I was so focused on the flowers that I suddenly bumped into someone
.
“
Wa
!
"
brother
!"
The girl who collided with me screamed and fell
.
She was a girl who seemed to be my age
.
She was wearing a wide-brimmed headdress and a lace dress that looked expensive
.
'
Oh, I have to help her
.’
So I extended my hand
.
The child shook my hand and frowned
.
So, I stood up and looked at her
.
The girl suddenly said,
“
What are you doing?
“
“
huh?
“
“
You should apologise
“
She nodded calmly and said,
“
Let's apologize to each other
“
“
What?
“
“
We both bumped into each other
“
I frowned, then,
“
Baby girl
!
I could hear Isaac's voice
.
“
Where
She
…”
The mysterious child searched the garden
.
Then his eyes sparkled when his eyes found mine
.
Isaac jumps over plants,
“
Here you go
“
“
Isiac following me again?
“
After the Jayob incident, she was given a tracking device
.
Not only is the device able to look up my private location,
But it also showed escape routes and allowed emergency calls
.
“
Oh, are you angry?
“
“
That's right, you always follow me
“
(
Right, you always follow me
.)
Even though they put a tracking device on me,
However, their concern remains
.
Every now and then, Henry will check on me
.
Izik is even worse, he always tries to meet me in his spare time
.
The child smiled
.
At first, I was surprised as his handsome face approached,
But now that I'm used to it, I feel like a burden
.
“
You can't be angry if you know what you told them to make a snack today
“
“…..
What?
“
“
French toast
“
“
Why did you come only now?
!
I received him very warmly
.
French toast was my favorite snack,
Soaked in half-cooked eggs and topped with honey and butter
.
However, the chefs would always crush her hopes by saying,
“
I can't give away a little food that only common people eat
“
“
Oh my God, you little miss
“
The girl she bumped into suddenly ran out
.
“
I'm sorry I didn't greet you sooner
“.
Isaac frowned
.
“
What, why are you here?
“
“
Nice to see you again
“
The little girl who had shocked me earlier smiled shyly and bowed her head
.
Then she looked at me
.
“
My name is Cattleya Walston
.
I am Doubled's third cousin
“.
“
Third cousin?
“
(
Third cousin?
)
“
Yes
.
You were surprised earlier, weren't you? Forgive me
.
I didn't know you because you were wearing simple clothes
“.
My clothes were really simple
.
It was because the Duke's fingers got stuck in the frills of the fancy dress last time
.
Isik also said that my dress is annoying, in the meantime,
Henry just smiled at the employee in charge of my clothes and said,
“
If this happens again,
I will take off your skin and put it in her clothes
“
After that, I only wore comfortable clothes
.
But it was simple without any decorations
.
Moreover, because I was sitting on the floor, the dress looked dusty
.
The girl continued, holding my hand with both of hers
.
“
Please forgive me
“
She continued her speech
.
“
We will stay together in the castle in the future
.
Let's be comfortable with each other
“
Stay together in the castle? Izek and I looked at each other,
And our eyes are wide
.
***
Then she heard about Cattleya when she entered a room with Isik
.
She said she was twelve years old,
But it was fairly early
.
She was smart enough to say a lot of difficult words
.
Isaac got a twisted look on his face,
He took a fork on the strawberry and handed it to me
.
“
Why did they re-teach the lineage that they normally didn't?
“
I looked at Henry
.
Lineage education refers to a system in which a family collects and manages all Doppelganger children to control the family
.
A system in which the Duke had no choice but to hand over the three brothers to his predecessors
.
Henry said in an indifferent tone
.
“
I heard it was a voluntary request from Walston
“
“
Isn't he crazy?
Every family was always trembling in fear that we would take their child away
“.
"
correct
."
“
I'm afraid the Duke will say he will do the same thing as his predecessor did
“
“
So, if he would do it? Why?
“
Henry looked at me and turned his head to ask Isaac
.
Suddenly a gentle voice was heard
.
“
Now I have to go and eat my meal in the bedroom
“
“
Aren't you full already?
“
Guys, there's something called...
“
Separate stomach for snacks and meals
“.
“
It's possible,
“
The brothers laughed
“
Let's go then
“
I took the brothers' hands and headed to the dining room
.
The Doubled dining room was not a familiar dining table
.
It was like a meeting table
.
When I entered the dining room,
I saw nobles from that day sitting around the table
.
When the Duke's children appeared, they all rose from their seats,
They put their hands on their chests and bowed their heads
.
I was a little worried about giving polite greetings to those in authority, but the brothers were already used to that.
.
When we sat on the left side of the table, Cattleya smiled,
who sat on the side, brightly said,
“
He's here too
“
Then the Duke appeared
.
Another polite greeting followed
.
The Duke sat down and the meal began
.
While the adults were talking about difficult things, I focused on the meal
.
'
Beef, I love it
.’
What type of technique did the chef use? This food
…
It melts the moment it touches my mouth, enveloping my taste buds with its softness
.
Leaving only the delicious flavor inside
.
It was a taste I had never tasted even in the days when the Empress adored me before my return
.
It was then
.
"
Yes
!"
“
I'm sorry, I was surprised
“
Baron Wellstone's wife, Cattleya's mother, asked,
“
What's going on here?
“
Cattleya rose without answering
.
Then she came to me and wiped my face with a handkerchief
.
“
That's enough,
“
She said as she blinked at Cattleya
.
'
Did I eat it with a lot of sauce on my face though?
'
It was a dinner full of important people,
So I cared a lot about my image
.
Cattleya smiled and returned to her seat
.
Then she looked at the Duke and put the meat on his plate with a shy look
.
“
It's delicious, Duke has more
“
She laughed happily as she said that
.
The elders simply smiled
