Chapter 2: 2
The woman who took me to the bathroom smiled and carefully stripped me out of the uncomfortable clothes .
“Call me Lea, little miss . ”
“Yes . ”
“From now on, we will have fun playing in warm water . Are you looking forward to it?”
“Yes . ”
“Ah,great . ”
Lea patted me on the back as if I was cute and received water . Soon after the maids came in and I started a full-fledged bath . It was very comfortable because they washed it for me as i sat in the warm water .
It was a little hard to hold back from touching the soft foam .
‘You have to behave yourself . 'The naughty child is hated . I knew that the help of an employee was essential for a child who was not cared for by their parents to live .
The maids' hand movements were very quick and skillful . So it wasn't that hard to cut back on the washing time .
‘The Duke of Dubbled is a bad guy, but he's not trash like the Duke of Vallua . ’ He didn't hit me, he put an employee on me . The Duke of Dubbled, who hit the bottom in my favorability, had a very slight increase .
After the bath, Lea dressed me in a cozy clothes . The clothes that the Empress Dowager's maid put on me were very uncomfortable because they were rough and big .
While Lea buttoned my clothes, the maids chattered
“Is the Master really going to adopt?”
“Even if it's the Empress Dowager orders, he's not the type to follow . ”
“But she's a child of fate . ”
“About that . . . ,” the maid glanced at the door and whispered .
“There are many opinions that this is a misinterpretation . The amount of divine power inherent in the baby's body is so low”
This was the reason why Duke Vallua treated me carelessly . There are a lot of people who don't think of me as the child of fate
"It's not something to say in front of the baby . "
Lea gave the maids a glare, and gave me a mug .
“Come on, drink it,"
the sweet voice made me a little relieved . It's hard to live if you're being ignored by your employees, like in Vallua’s time .
The sweetness spreading in the mouth, was as soft as a cotton, and the bitter scent was pushed in . Lea looked at me drinking chocolate as if I was cute, and gently wiped the chocolate around my mouth .
“Now shall we go to the master?”

it was a pity i couldn’t scrape the chocolate off the bottom with a spoon, but i followed Lea in a gentle manner .
'You have to be nice . ’
‘Compared to my previous life, this is heaven, and I loved it . He doesn’t care about me, he didn’t raise his hand to me and he give me a whole cup of chocolate . It's the best condition to stay here before defecting!’
'But I don't think the Duke will easily adopt me . He's a man rumored to be cold-blooded with no blood or tears . And it didn't seem to me that the rumors were wrong . I can’t just let go of it . I didn't want to die after being beaten again by the Duke of Vallua . It is also no good to be a beggar and die of starvation .
It was the Duke's office where Lea took me . I saw a duke talking to two men who appeared to be officers . I put Lea’s hand down, I ran and hung on the Duke's leg . Lea was startled, then the officer took me away from him . ‘But I don't want to die miserable again . ’
‘I don't want to go back . I'll have a small meal . I'm not going to do this again because I want to be loved . ’ ‘So please--‘
Then he grabbed the collar around my neck, stroked it up, and muttered,
“Don't distract me,"
I grabbed his neck and rubbed my face on his cheek .
"Dyuke,Like . (Duke, Like/ I like you) "
The duke has hardened his posture .

Empire of Wigentra, a country with the world's most vast expanse of land . This is the case if we divide the power perspective of Wigentra so far .
<5 Duke> .
The three formed an equilateral triangle, which keep each other in check or unite them to achieve the prosperity of the empire . This triangle has undergone significant changes . The Duke of Dubbled, the only family that pushed out the 5 duke, took the last place . The Dubbled's manor boasted great feats indeed .
A stone floor without a single scratch and hexagonal columns with delicate patterns . A luxurious chandelier showing off its presence on the ceiling . Treasures nestled in close proximity to each decorative cabinet lined up on the wall . The nature and countless towers of East and West, the endless forest surrounding the north, etc . But the Duke of Dubbled, the owner of such an enormous castle, was not very easy .
‘He won’t adopt me for my cuteness . Fortunately, it wasn't a total failure . Even if he didn't adopt me, He gave me a room to stay for a while’ . If I had been kicked right away, I might have gone to Vallua . I covered my mouth with a fist and laughed .
I really liked the room the Duke of Dubbled gave me . There was no time to be bored because there were many toys and playmates as well as warm and cozy beds . And it's been ten days since I stayed in this castle . I was paying my rent steadily .
"What else did the ‘hat lady’ said?"
"Ori halkwon is in di old plawtew . (Oriharkon* is in the old plateau . ) "
“Oriharkon!“
The vassals are blown by the news . I sat on the duke’s lap, staring at the excited Duke .

“It's amazing . How can you be so smart?”
“That's why she’s the child of fate . ”
The vassals laughed . My conscience pricked me . 'In fact, it's a child of fake destiny . It wasn't like I could remember pre-reincarnation memories at will' . It's hard to do" adult thinking "with an immature brain .
If i deepen an adult's thinking with this body, I would either sleep for days or days, or I would feel extremely hungry . When I was hungry or sleepy, I became a total baby .
One vassal was about to touch my head as if I was cute, so I was amazed and hung around the duke’s neck . 'Ka, I'm surprised! I was surprised that someone I didn't know was trying to touch!’
“Child, you’re very shy . "
As the old vassal laughed and said that, the vassal that tried to touch me retract his hands .
“It's amazing that you're able to stay close to each other . ”
“Other children will be overwhelmed by your energy and cry”
“Can you tell us the story of the altar and imperial family?”
The reason why I only talk in the duke’s lap is because the abuse of the Duke of Vallua that has made me view adult men as extremely low . ' 'It's weird if i put it that way, because duke dubbled doesn't count .
“Come down and sit down,"
said the duke . I answered and sat on his lap again .
