“
Sam, the butler, was a drug dealer
.
Jane in the laundry room is a famous thief
.
She even stole a countess
“
I kept Laura's words in my head
.
“
Then what about Laura?
“
“
I don't have a criminal record yet
!
“
What are you thinking?
“
“
I haven't gotten it yet
.
Sometimes I feel like stabbing people's throats, so I think it would be really cute
“
So Laura smiled shyly
.
“
Laura, watch your words in front of Little Miss
“
When Leah spoke harshly, Laura said,
“
Oh, okay
!
She covered her mouth
.
“
I'm sorry
!
I don't have a history
.
But I was born in prison and spoke a little harshly
“
“
Were you born in prison?
“
“
Yes, my mother was a cult leader
.
She only found out she was pregnant in prison
.
So she gave birth to me in prison, and I lived with my mother until I was three years old, and when I was four years old, she handed me over
“
This made it difficult for Laura to find a job
.
It is said that even though they were looking for a job, they were soon caught, so they often moved from one job to another.
.
“
I know all the employees
.
But, I'm probably the quickest person to know about rumors about the aristocracy
! “
When I saw Laura speaking proudly, my eyes lit up
.
“
Then let me know
.
Is there any rumor these days?
“
“
The funny thing is the story of Mr. Constance
.
He had an affair with his fiancée's mother
!
Oh, my God
!
Everyone seemed surprised
.
What is this mess?
It wasn't what I was curious about, but it was an exciting story that made me forget my original goal
.
“
Not this
.
Any other funny rumors?
“
“
Lord Lin's story is also interesting
.
Mrs. Ruapang really likes him because he is a great guy
.
To see him, she canceled her tea party
…”
I listened to Laura's story
.
At that time, something was vibrating in my pocket
.
'
It is a communication device
.’
This was an expensive magic device that I had recently purchased
.
It was so expensive that I was going to cry when I paid for it
.
Not only did I buy one, but I also bought for Seria and the president
.
The three of us wouldn't use it unless it was something really important like this
.
When I furtively glanced inside my pocket, it was Syria's code
.
[
She took the bait
.]
It seemed that the Empress had finally purchased the Luminous Medicine
.
I patted my pocket and returned to Laura's story
.
***
Adolf, one of twenty-one priests in charge of the central church, disobeyed the Empress Dowager
.
“
Her Majesty the Empress
“
"
Sit
."
The Empress received him with a kind smile as usual
.
Adolf, who had been standing, sat down in the chair
.
'
This damned old woman
.’
Although on the surface she was like a cute lamb, he knew how greedy that old woman was
.
Five years ago, Adolf, who had gone to prison to pray for a wanted criminal who was about to be executed, returned with a pale face.
.
“
I found the original version of the Bible
“
“
What are you talking about? I've been looking for it, but I don't even have an idea
“
“
I knew where the original Bible was
.
It's in the Empress's secret library
“
“
Impossible
…
If the Empress had found it, she would have given it to us
“
When I went to the place the wanted criminal told me about, the Empress's people were guarding the place
.
Surely there is a library that we do not know about
.
The wanted criminal's words were credible
.
As a test, when he ordered the Empress to mention the secret library, she immediately moved the library
.
Later, it was confirmed that workers excavated the ancient plateau on the orders of the Empress seven years ago
.
'
You pretend to trust the Church, but you play tricks behind our backs to steal the Bible?
'
The Empress knew better that the Church was searching for the original scriptures of the Bible
.
I have to get it into my hands somehow
.
With the original version of the Bible in hand, he could have entered the Vatican, not the central church
.
So Adolf kept the matter a secret from the church and tried for five years to convince the Empress
.
The Empress raised the teacup with a casual look
.
“
Destiny's Child will participate in this year's banquet
.
I was curious how you grew up in Doubled
“
Adolf answered
: “
Yes
…”
With a sad look
.
On February 29, the day the prophecy was issued, an orphan girl was born with divine power and became Destiny's Child, but she did not attract his attention.
.
It was her only strength
*
Lahia, re-verified, is so normal that she will save the world
.
Even if she had only increased her strength
*
Hi, many people in the church said it was fake
.
“
How is your illness today?
“
“
It's much better
.
Winter was always tough, but it didn't hurt so much come spring
“
“
I distributed holy water
.
It will make you feel more comfortable
“
“
Oh, thank you
“
Adolf said in a calm voice as he saw the smiling Empress
.
“
By the way, Your Majesty
.
The library you wanted to show me that day
…”
“
Now that I think about it, I'm ashamed to show you
.
I don't have any special old books
“
Adolf's eyes hardened
.
'
Old woman
!’
When her skin condition gets worse, she acts like she would do anything if she could just get the treatment and keep my mouth shut
.
Adolf said, smiling awkwardly
.
“
If I read your books, I might find something more helpful for your illness next time
“
"
oh well
.
You don't have to come and help me with treatment next time
“
"…
Sorry?
“
“
I found a good medicine
“
"
medicine?
“
“
They say it's a drug that makes us younger
“
The Empress put the medicine bottle on the table and said
:
“
It's a trick, but it works
.
It is less itchy than any other medicine
“
The priest's face was distorted
.
This medicine has actually reduced the number of aristocrats seeking treatment
.
The number of donations has decreased because of this, so it is difficult to inform the bosses
.
'
Is it the pinnacle of hope?
'
Five years ago, when he tried to pressure Doubled, Hope Peak appeared out of nowhere and destroyed him
.
Not only that, it has also reduced the market price of spinel excessively
.
Reducing the value of the spinel mine owned by the church
.
In the end, they were forced to sell the useless spinel mine, and now Hope Peak had almost a monopoly on the spinel market.
.
Adolf clenched his fists
.
***
Before the banquet, I went out to the shopping area with my two brothers to buy a dress
.
Since it was the empire's busiest street, it was crowded despite it being a weekday
.
“
Should I walk holding your hands?
“
Isik held my hand tightly and said
:
“
Yes, the crowd will sweep you away
“
Henry grabbed my other hand as well
.
'
Because this is near the church, I should never leave my brothers
.’
I made my decision and walked courageously
.
Fortunately, the store was nearby, so even if there were a lot of people, we could get there without any obstacles
.
Inside the store, a long-haired man who looked like an employee and the owner walked out
.
“
My name is Melvin
.
Welcome to Melvin's wardrobe
“
The man, whose face was shining with oil, rubbed his hands and said so
.
'
Melvin?
'
Melvin is a good designer for the wives of nobles
.
His dress was so expensive that it was difficult to buy it unless they were of high-ranking aristocracy
.
So the wives of most noble families used melvin dresses for years
.
“
The Duke's children are very impressive today
“
At Melvin's words, Henry and Isik sat on the sofa
.
“
Finally we came up with a design fit for nobility
.
Embroidered with silver thread on pure white fabric
.
And a two-button suit
…”
“
Don't mind my clothes, take care of my sister
“
Just then Melvin turned to me
.
“
She
Which
…”
“
Miss Doubled
“
When Isik frowned and corrected him, a stunned Melvin nodded
: “
Oh, yes
“
“
My store also has a lot of beautiful clothes to match little miss
.
Aliana
!
As he opened his mouth, the green-dressed employee approached him
.
“
Miss Doppeld, we'll show you our clothes
“
When she came, smiling, she led me to the hangers
.
Meanwhile, Melvin clung to Henry and Isik and was chattering away
.
“
I heard that you two bravely destroyed the enemy in your first battle
.
Melvin was deeply affected to hear this news
...!”
Maybe he wasn't interested in me at all, I'm not the Duke's daughter
.
In the first place, Doubled is a very closed place, so the rumors don't go well, he didn't know that I was truly loved as his daughter.
.
“
How do you like this dress? The lace on the chest was designed by Melvin with all his heart and soul
“
They showed me different dresses, but I didn't really like them
.
Since my response was lukewarm, the employee left saying she would bring in a design that wasn't in place yet
.
My eyes widened when I saw the dress she had pulled out
.
'
Oh, this is what I wanted to wear in my second life
.’
The lace collar was filled with sleeves
.
'
This was the most popular design of this period
.’
The dress, hanging from Melvin's wardrobe window, looked like the dress of a fairy princess
.
Will I look like a princess if I wear it? I remember thinking about it
.
I really liked this design
.
It was the moment of putting on the dress
.
"
that
!"
she shouted in a bright voice
.
She's a girl about my age with soft black hair and amber eyes
.
“
I, I like this
“
I blinked at the girl's words
.
