<span>After the bread incident, peaceful days went on.


    <span>The only thing that happened was when Lea found out that she had forgotten to give seven candies that the Duke had given her.


    <span>But today is different.


    <span>I had to wear a dress at the hands of the maids since morning.It was a child’s dress that spread widely from the chest.


    <span>On top of that, I worece socks that came up to my calf, shoes with a smooth base, and even tied the top of my head with a ribbon.


    <span>“Come on, let’s see howfortable it is.Try walking, little miss.”


    <span>As I waded hard, the maids sped their chests and shouted, “Whoa!”


    <span>Dubblede’s employee was not as bad as Val Lua’s, but they put me on edge.


    <span>However, in order for me to livefortably as a child, the employee’s hospitality is essential.


    <span>As soon as I got here, I attacked the maids first.


    <span>“Lwinda’s hwere! (Linda’s here!)”


    <span>“Oho, you saw mest night. are you that happy to see me?”


    <span>“It’s a secwet…..lingda is my fawvorite. (It’s a secret…… Linda is my favorite.)”


    <span>First of all, I’ll conquer the strong-lipped maid.


    <span>“Hwere, I’ll gwive you a cwandy.(Here. I’ll give you a candy.)”


    <span>“Why do you only give me this candy?”


    <span>“It’s a swcwet…..becwase i like Dawlia the most. (It’s a secret…… because I like Dalia the most.)”


    <span>I’ve got the person in charge of the snack’s heart.


    <span>“If Ywuni is swick, I’m sad….(If Yuni is sick, I’m sad……)”


    <span>“Oh my…”


    <span>“It’s a swecret…..Yuni is my fawvorite. (It’s a secret…… Yuni is my favorite.)”


    <span>I’ve captured the person in charge of my daily records.


    <span>‘Now, even if I’m hated by my family like Val Lua’s time, the maids would secretly feed me.’


    <span>When I saw the maids who think i was so cute, I was proud to think of all the hardships.


    <span>‘But why did I dress up like this today?’


    <span>So I asked Lea, who was smiling affectionately.


    <span>“Me gwoing where? (Where am i going?)”


    <span>“You will attend today’s meeting. Master said he would introduce you to the vassals.”


    <span>‘Introduction?’


    <span>I saw some of them , but they were not formally introduced. Because I didn’t have to introduce myself if they were going to send me back soon.


    <span>So….


    <span>‘You must be trying to keep me here for quite a while!’


    <span>I followed the maid with a shout of joy in my heart.


    <span>But there were people in the hallway who wore clothes i had never seen before. Lea answered me when I looked curious.


    <span>“They’re children to be sponsored.”


    <span>Aha, there must be a sponsored child selection on the agenda for today’s meeting.


    <span>There was a support system in the aristocracy.


    <span>It is to cultivate gifted children from an early age and then develop them into the talent that the family wants.


    <span>‘Who’s going to be sponsored this time?’


    <span>If you’re sponsored by a noble family like Dubblede, you must be a famous child prodigy.


    <span>When I entered the conference room, I could see the vassals surrounding someone.


    <span>He’s pretty big to be called a child. At first nce, he looked like an adolescent boy.


    <span>The boy was buried among the adults and could not be seen in detail, but his voice was clear.


    <span>“Hello, Mr. Dubos, Mr. Martin, Baron Lux, and…..”


    <span>The vassals grinned as if they were pleased with the polite little boy who had memorized so many people’s names one after another.


    <span>“Little Jude is bing more intelligent day by day.”


    <span>“My father told me that I have to study hard to be an adult, just like Mr. Dubos!”


    <span>Dubosughed and tapped him on the shoulder.


    <span>Then, One of the vassals notices me.


    <span>When I told them about the story of the Imperial Pce and the Order, there were some vassals here with their faces raised.


    <span>‘I’m going to show it to you.’


    <span>“Hello”


    <span>As I greeted the maids by holding on to the hem of the dress, theyughed with a grin.


    <span>“Oh my, you learned how to say hello.”


    <span>When some vassals approached me, I began to see the face of the child who had been hidden.


    <span>I stiffened when I checked the child’s face.


    <span>‘Marco Jude.’


    <span>I know that kid, very, very well.


    <span>Because he was one of the worst people I’ve ever met!


    <span>When I lived as the child of Duke Val Lua, I attended an academy for a while. Back then, Marco was my dedicated professor.


    <span>He was a young man motivated by his superiors and a good professor who spoke with his students.


    <span>But to me….


    <span>‘There was a lot of flirting.’


    <span>He was aiming for the position as the son-inw of Duke Val Lua.


    <span>He patted my shoulders grossly. He also hugged me without my consent, I couldn’t stand it when he tried to kiss me, so I filed aint with the school.


    <span>But they drove me away as an assant.


    <span>“If this guy seduced you and offended you all the time, why didn’t you file aint from the beginning?”


    <span>“If you didn’t like it so much, why didn’t you scream?.”


    <span>‘Because I was scared, so I couldn’t even scream.’


    <span>“Then why now…I guess you didn’t like it when you thought about it. Are you that kind of woman who counts a man’s identity and property?”


    <span>My protest didn’t work.


    <span>He wasmuted for only six months for touching a student, and I left the academy under criticism for being promiscuous.


    <span>After that, they said, I was a disgrace to my family.


    <span>Just thinking about that time, I wanted to squeeze Marco’s head.


    <span>He’s still a kid. But he’s the scumbag of the future!’ I’m still doing revenge.


    <span>‘Let’s calm down. If you have an ident like that for no reason, adoption’s out of the question.’


    <span>Then, the Duke of Dubblede came into the room. Marco and the vassals bowed deeply, and the Duke sat down.


    <span>The first order of the meeting was to review the sponsor candidantes


    <span>Sitting at the back of the table, Marco went up to the podium.


    <span>“Ho, you’re already solving that level of math problems?”


    <span>“Yes! You have to be familiar with numbers to enter Board of audit and inspection. But math itself is fun. I made some forms with my teacher…….”


    <span>‘Liar….’


    <span>It was ridiculous for me to know his future.


    <span>Far from joining the Board of Audit and Inspection, Marco Jude joined the faculty of the marginal academy. So he was a fool who boasted to me that he had such a greatwork.


    <span>His father Baron Judeughed proudly.


    <span>Judging from the friendly atmosphere, the selection of the sponsored child seemed to be carried out ording to the wishes of Baron Jude and his wife.


    <span>After the Q&A session, Marco returned to the seat next to me. He looked down at me and whispered.


    <span>“You see, kid? You’ll never beat me.”


    <span>What?


    <span>I looked at him because I was dumbfounded.


    <span>He’s keeping a four-year-old in check….


    <span>Marco Jude seemed to think that I came to the meeting because of the sponsorship screening.


    <span>His face is full of excitement because he wants to crush his rival. He looked reminiscent of when he was a professor at an academic institute.


    <span>‘Well, maybe you think the Duke of Dubblede has left me alone so far, so I’m going to end up with what he wants after not adopting.’


    <span>He continued with a grin.


    <span>“You, they said you were a poor kid?”


    <span>“……..”


    <span>“I heard the Empress dumped you in the the trash can called Dubblede. It’s the same as being a trash.”


    <span>Marco, who said so, wentughing, and I clenched my fist.


    <span>I was dumb in my previous life.


    <span>I didn’t know anything, and being thrown away alone was scary.


    <span>There have been many times when I bowed down without being able to say a word like this.


    <span>But I’m not the one who’s dying three times, now i’m living my fourth life.


    <span>And I really bit Marco’s arm.


    <span>“Argh!”


    <span>While he was lying on his stomach with his arms clenched, I quickly clenched my fist and punched him! Puck!


    <span>“Aah! Aah!”


    <span>As the scream rang out, more people or employees guarding the hall rushed in amazement.


    <span>People immediately tried to tear me away from Marco, but I pulled out a bunch of his hair before I fell off.


    <span>“What are you doing!”


    <span>the vassals frowned at me and Marco.


    <span>“That little thing that made me…… me, all of a sudden…!”


    <span>On the other hand, I calmly straightened my index finger at Marco.


    <span>“Cwome on, Bwad boy! (Come on, bad boy!)”


    <span>“What….”


    <span>“He swaid duke dubbwelde is a twash!. (He said duke dubblede is a trash!.)”


    <span>When I was a beggar, i learned something. The one who throws the first punch wins. The calm one wins the argument.


    <span>Of course, it was gruesome to make a fuss before the duke’s eyes, but it was better than looking like a fool who was just being beaten.


    <span>But it was strange.


    <span>Why it’s so quiet around here ?
