Chapter 69

TL:Zimmings

But there is no possibility. It was in January that Risette died because of giving birth. I am born on February 29th.

When I see Javelin's facial expressions, or when I see my dad looking at the daughter's shoes, even though I know it's ridiculous, it makes me feel a bit bad.

"If I am their daughter, I would be very sad when I see Javelin."

"......"

"It's really heartbreaking to see her beloved aunt sad because of her."

Javelin laughed at my words.

"Be careful going back."

I smiled at her and went back to my room.

That day, my dad and brothers left the mansion after being sent off by everyone.

***

"Hello, little miss."

"Did you have a good dream?"

I headed to the dressing room with the servants, after being greeted by the servants

I woke up too early. Dahlia, Linda and Yuni are filming me while I rub my eyes, they say,

"cute-!"

Their hobby, which is now beyond adoring me, was to share my videos with a magic tool.

This was awkward and embarrassing because I only got here a few weeks ago, but I got used to it soon.

But...

'Huh?'

I was surprised to see this many servants.

"There are more videos than usual today."

When I grabbed Lea's sleeve, three maids answered with a big smile.

"Because today's a special day."

"Yes, it's a special day."

"Little miss' first tea party!"

Today is my first time meeting children my age.

Dad gave me a tea party as promised.

So far, I have only met Dubbled's people and high- ranking vassals in the castle.

Lea who sat me in her chair, asked while combing my hair.

"Aren't you excited?"

"....I'm a little excited."

To be honest, I was a little excited because it was my first time holding a tea party.

As soon as I blushed, the maids around me exclaimed,

"Cute!"

"She's so lovely today!"

I shook my head.

I wore a dress from Melvin with the ribbons and shoes that Seria gave me.

"You're very pretty today."

"I know!"

Wearing a red dress with my family pattern, I looked pretty even to myself.

The servants grinned.

When I finished preparing and checked the place.

It was time for the tea party to begin.

As I stepped into the garden, it is unusually crowded.

There were many cute little ladies wearing big bonnets and lovely little gentlemen in large robes.

"I heard about the sad news at your house yesterday. I'm so sorry."

"Yes, I was sleeping and crushed a beetle. It was a very brave beetle."

"Oh my god..."

The children pretended to be adults, imitating their social interaction.

'Cute!'

It was my first time seeing a friend of my age, so my heart was pounding.

Entering with excitement, the servants who guarded the garden bent down at once.

Then the children got up one by one and greeted me.

"I greet Dubbled's young miss."

"I greet Dubbled's young miss."

I also greeted them by bowing my head about ten degrees.

Nos, who taught me manners, raised his thumb in the corner of the place.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Leblaine Risette Dubbled."

After introducing myself, I made a gesture telling them to sit down.

'How's this?'

When I looked at Nos, he smiled and gave me another thumbs up.

I laughed inwardly.

The chair I sat at is in the middle.

It was a place to receive guests from high-ranking families.

I glanced at them, as the children quickly started a conversation.

"Thank you for the invitation. Viscount Myshank is my father."

"Viscount Lesul is my grandfather."

"I'm the youngest child of Baron Kruola."

The children introduced themselves to me.

"What's your name?"

"Ywes?" (Yes?)

'Ywes...cute.'

I was happy to see these small and cute children after seeing the scary-looking people in the castle every time.

The son of Myshank, the oldest child at the table said,

"Kilyon Myshank. I am 12 years old."

'Oh, the same age as Isaac.'

Kilyon, who was introducing himself, turned red when I smiled brightly at him.

"A, ah... the eldest son of Myshank.

I guess I was a bit shy too because many eyes are on me.

I found him very cute, the opposite of Isaac, who beat a wolf from the mountain yesterday.

The children who were smiling quickly said,

"I'm Sophia Lesul!"

"My name is Max Kruola!"

The children on other tables quickly interrupted and introduced themselves.

It wasn't a polite act.

The parents, who were seeing them, were embarrassed and said, "Oh no!"

But I didn't care about this, they are children after all.

"Ah, you're the granddaughter of Viscount Lesul. I heard you play the piano very well?"

I took care of each child.

The faces of the children at the party are happy.

But then,

"Huh? What!"

From the entrance, there was a sudden shout.

He is a very tall and slim boy, but I can only see a his head a little.

"Ah......... That's him again..."

The children said as if they already knew him.

"Who?"

When asked, Kilyon answered,

"He always came to parties uninvited.... he's a child of a prestigious family."

"Before, when you hadn't arrived, he said that the children of Dubbled are just rude fools. That's too much..."

I looked around as I raised myself up among the children.

I headed to the place. The children rushed after me.

The girl who was with him, was about to burst into tears.

The girl is as cute as a doll with black hair and beautiful green eyes.

"I, I'm not, I was surprised when you suddenly touched my face...."

Touch her face?

The girl looks at least 14 years old, and the boy looks about 15.

He's old enough to know that it's polite to not touch a lady's face.

I cut in between the two and hid the girl behind my back.

"What are you—!"

The boy is Billy Penak.

He was the pervert in my second life.

He was a close friend of duke Vallua's eldest son.

The Penak is a prestigious family, and Vallua's eldest son, a high-ranking official, often mingled with him.

Whenever he came to the Vallua's mansion, the guy would look at the girls there with a lecherous gaze.

At the age of 17, he rape girl, but was released under the pretext of being drunk and the connection of his own father.

"......Are you the little miss?"

When he saw the seal on my finger, he coughed in vain.

"I'm Billy Penak. I'm sorry I made a scene."

"Yes, you made a scene at my first party."

"That...yeah...I'm sorry."

"I think you're apologizing to the wrong person."

"Pardon?"

I held the crying girl's hand and looked at the children as I said,

"You should apologize to my guests who has become unhappy."

"I just need to apologize to you, why should I....!"

"They are the children of Dubbled's vassals."

What are you doing to the children?

The children looked at me with sparkling eyes.

Billy frowned and said,

"I won't! Why should I do that! You're not the real Dubbled's daughter anyway."

"What?"

"That's right. You're adopted."

I hardened at his words.

The parents and the girl who were holding my hand also flinched.

"This guy..."

When I said that in a low voice, Billy was elated because he thought he had won.

I gently took off the gloves I was wearing and threw them in front of him.

It meant that I will duel him.

"You must have read a lot of novels. It's only in fiction that a girl can beat a man."

"Really?"

"Don't disgrace yourself just because of your arrogance."

Billy grinned as if he was going to win.

"I'll take care of my dignity, so let's go."

"Oh my. I'm speechless."

"Hurry before I make an official protest against Penak."

".....!"

Then Billy's face turned pale.

He didn't even receive an official invitation to come here, but if he gets an official protest after making a fuss, it's hard to deal with it.

"......you won't do it if I win, right?"

"Yes."

I said with a shrug.

I stood beside the door and said, "Let's go," Billy clucked his tongue and stepped out first.

It's ridiculous for a gentleman to compete with lady, but since he heard about my plan to give an official protest, he agreed.

I moved away from the tea party area and faced Billy.

He lifted up his servant's sword and lift up the corners of his mouth

"Let's start."

"Go ahead."

Billy laughed and ran quickly as our distance was getting shorter.

But he couldn't reach me.

When our distance was less than 3 meters left, he was blocked by a barrier.

And in an instant a fireball surrounded him.

"Wa,wa,wait....wait!"

When he screamed, the fireball turned into a lion and swallowed him.

"Aghh—!"

Billy sat down and closed his eyes with both arms.

His trousers have become damp.

I smiled and said,

"Are you surprised?"
