Yuni put the paper and pencils on the table .

“Are you working on your homework?”

Oh, that’s right . I had come here under the pretext of doing my homework .

While trying to grab the pencil, I found a scar on Yuni’s hand .

“Yuni, huwt . ” (Yuni, you’re hurt)

“Ah, I got cut because I was careless . It’s nothing, so don’t worry about it . ”

Then Seria came to us .

“I have the medicine . ”

“It’s all right……”

“An employee’s body is also an asset . We need to take care of it well . ”

Seria applied medicine on her hand,  as Yuni replied with a slightly embarrassed face,

“Thank you…”

“Don’t mention it . ”

Coming out of the room after finishing my homework, I went to the Duke’s office .

‘Now that I know who the wanted criminal is, I need to find the evidence to get that bounty . ’

To do that, I have to keep the wanted criminal next to me . I thought of making the convict as my teacher under the pretext of wanting a full-fledged lesson .

I knocked and entered while the Duke was talking to one of his vassals . There was a huge box on the Duke’s desk .

’What’s inside… . . ?’

‘Etwal!’

It was the holy object that made Mina exert her power .

But that one was different from Mina’s . Mina’s etwal was platinum, but this was all gold . And the corners of the hexagonal center didn’t have jewels attached to them .

‘That’s it . The second Etwal . ’

The one that Turva wanted to get his hands on by swindling the Duke of Dubbled .

‘How did they get their hands on it already?’

I’ve heard about the war, but it couldn’t have ended this fast . Suddenly, the vassal said to the duke .

“The citizens of that continent  were suffering from tyranny so much that they directly opened the gates for our troops . Thanks to that, the trip was faster . ”

“Did you send this news to the Emperor?”

“Of course, he said he was most pleased with this year’s gift, and that he would send an edict to honor you . ”

“What a pain in the neck . ”

Viscount Dubos looked at me .

“This is all thanks to you . If you didn’t recognize the con artist, how could we have known about the existence of the second Etwal?”

The vassals laughed . I felt good too .

The Duke of Vallua must have had a heart attack . He had put a lot of effort into this year’s gift . He had even borrowed money from his in-laws . In my previous life, because of the gift, he bought the Emperor’s favor and acquired the tea leaf trade that he had been aiming for .

He is going all out, but if he fails this time, he will suffer from debt .

‘Well, that’s not my problem . ’

What’s urgent now is my money, not their money . Now that I’ve found the wanted criminal,

‘I have to catch him myself . ’

That’s how I’ll get the reward .

I stretched my arm towards the duke sitting in his chair .

“Dyuke, give me a hug”

“…… . ”

The duke stared at me

‘That’s weird, he usually hugs me immediately . ’

It wasn’t until I gave a curious glance did the Duke put me on his lap .

“What brings you here?”

Well, given that he’s trying to listen, he must be in a good mood today .

It means I don’t have to run away right now or avoid him for the time being .

“Bwaine wanted to study . ”

“I’m sure you’re already learning the letters . ”

“Now I know all the letters . I’m learning hard and I want something new . “

The Duke stared at me and then opened his mouth again .

“It will be difficult to spend time with Henry and Isaac if you take classes in earnest . ”

“It’s ok . ”

“They’re your favorite . You wouldn’t want to be away for a second, right?”

Why are you talking about it here? I tilted my head . Everyone in the room looked at me with desperate expressions .

I didn’t know what this feeling was, but the experiences I had was telling me . I need to do well here .

“No . Henly and Isyac are the nicest in the world . But my most favorite person in the universe is dyuke!” (No . Henry and Isaac are the nicest in the world but my most favorite person in the universe is duke!)

“…… . ”

I looked at the duke’s expression with a nervous heart .

“……Who taught you this?”

The duke, who smiled, lightly glanced at my head . I looked at the vassals and administrators at the front desk .

Viscount Dubos replied quickly as if a button had been pressed .

“Where would a child learn to say that?”

“That’s right . Your baby must really like you the best . I’ve never even heard that from my children . ”

“Really?”

Other vassals also echoed, saying, “I envy you!”

“My daughter gets so annoyed every time I ask for a hug . ”

“I always beg my daughter to hug me . ”

“It’s a blessing . ”

Finally, the duke’s lips curled up . I wiped the sweat off my forehead with the back of my hand .

‘They are really good at flattery . ’

The Duke allowed himself to take the compliments from the vassals in earnest .

“I’ll tell Nos . ”

“No!”

I shouted in amazement, but I suddenly came to my senses and laughed awkwardly .

“Nos has lots of papers to do . I’ll stwudy with someone else” (Nos has a lot of papers to do . I’ll study with someone else . )

“But…”

“The admwinistrator sister and bwoter are smart . ” (The administrator sister and brother are smart)

I spoke as childishly as I could . Soon, the vassals in the office nodded,

“I heard that she had a good time with the administrators, and they seem to like her . ”

The Duke nodded . Finally, I succeeded in turning the wanted criminal into my teacher as planned .

***

Two days later in the morning .

Lea and the maids surrounded me . There were packaged boxes in my hands .

“They’re all Children’s Day presents . ”

“You’re curious aren’t you?”

“Right?”

Handmade gloves and mufflers, ribbons, fountain pens, sketchbooks . I had known everything since yesterday, but I pretended otherwise .

I didn’t forget to jump and smile widely whenever the gifts were opened one by one . The maids beamed and hugged me .

“Little Miss is very cute today~”

But, I truly was grateful for their sincerity .

I took out a couple of books and headed for the administrator’s room . Charlie, Seria, and Jacob were there first .

“It’s an honor to teach you . I know I’m not good enough, but I’ll do my best . ”

Seria greeted me and continued .

“Jacob and Charlie will teach you the Imperial language, and I will teach you history . ”

“Let’s learn the imperial language from Jacob and Charlie first, and then let’s go around the castle with me and talk about the history of Dubbled!”

Seria was very motivated . The class began when I nodded . Meanwhile, Jacob’s eyes looked very unusual today .

“I heard you memorized those letters in two days . Now, let’s combine those letters and make a word . ”

“Let’s learn a foreign language first . ”

Charlie suddenly stepped in and smacked Jacob’s head with a thick book .

“How can she speak a foreign language when she’s not fluent in the language of the empire yet?”

“Unless you’re not stupid, you’ll learn it naturally . ”

Then he pushed Jacob aside and looked at me .

“Other Dubbleds kids knew how to memorize the Bible when they were at her age . I’m sure she can learn the language of the Empire, right?”

Oops .

Unfortunately, I’m not a real Dubbled, to be able to memorize the Bible at that age . Even after he was humiliated yesterday, his attitude had remained unchanged .

Rather, he seemed to have become more intimidating .

“I don’t know where you heard those rumors, but it was an excellent choice to choose me as your teacher . ”

“Honestly, I think I should be in charge of everything in your education . Yeah, well, think of this as a rehearsal, I look forward to the future . ”

It was totally different from Nos’s class, which focused on the important points and still allowed me to actively participate .

It was a class where he only boasted about his knowledge .   If I was really just a child, I wouldn’t have understood anything .

After the first class, I left for Seria’s class .

I caught the maids chattering as i went into the castle

“The new administrators really gives me the creeps except for Seria . ”

“I agree with Charlie, but why Jacob?”

“I don’t like him seeing the baby and saying she’s small and cute every time . ”

“But It’s true that our baby is small and cute . ”

“…His gaze is like that of an animal’s . ”

“You are too sensitive . ”

When all maids left except for Lea, Seria came running,

“Little miss!”

She had a thick bundle of data in her hand . Her forehead was full of sweat .

“I should have been here sooner . I’m sorry . I had stopped by the library for my last inspection . ”

“It’s ok . ”

“You’re very nice…”

Seria, while smiling, walked close to me . Naturally, Lea had retreated to the back . I felt that Seria was a really good teacher .

‘She must be used to teaching kids . ’

Her explanation was not difficult at all . Plus, she was good at handling children .

“Agh!”

When I fell while concentrating on her explanation, Lea came running in amazement .

“Little Miss, are you alright? Your knees are red . ”

Unlike Lea, who was so worried, Seria fixed my skirt and said calmly .

“Are you all right?”

Seria, who fixed my skirt, rose . Then the hem of her skirt pushed up as her foot was revealed .

There was a burn scar on her foot .

TL note : I’ve bolden Leblaine’s thought, what do you guys think?
