Chapter 64
Chapter 64
I was so surprised that my eyes are widened .
‘It’s the name of the late Duchess!’
I also looked at the ring on the narrow side . As expected, the letters are engraved .
‘Theodo…’
It was then .
“Theodore . ”
A voice came to my ears before I had finished reading the ring .
A woman was leaning against the door frame with her arms crossed as she stared at me .
“Who are you, why are you in my room?”
She has clear blue eyes, a symbol of Dubbled .
I know that person, who has a beautiful appearance and a sweet voice .
It is my aunt, Javelin Ariage .
“Why are you reading a note from Risette in my room?”
This is Javelin’s room?
I was so surprised, I didn’t came here on purpose .
This place was too small and shabby for her, who was in charge of the mansion . I never imagined that this would be Javelin’s room .
“Excuse me, I… . ”
I was about to spout out an answer .
“Take it!”
With Isaac’s voice, the sword came to me . Javelin turned lightly and put the sword between her index finger and her middle finger .
“You should’ve been more stealthy if you wanted to hit me from behind . ”
With a grin, Isaac, who was approaching Javelin, sees me inside .
“Kid!!”
He rushed over and stared at me in a hurry .
“I didn’t know you were here . You’re not hurt?”
“I stopped your sword, so she wouldn’t be hurt . ”
When Javelin spoke in a quiet voice, Isaac shouted .
Isaac frowned and said,
“What did you do? Did you bully the little kid?”
“No! No!”
I quickly tore Isaac off her .
Even if it’s a misunderstanding, it’s my fault that I entered other people’s rooms freely . I should have checked the room in advance . I didn’t know she was using a narrow room with no windows .
I got up and approached Javelin .
“I’m LeBlaine Risett—”
“The child of fate . ”
She said that .
She doesn’t go around much, and she’s cold-hearted about others . She didn’t even accept my greeting, so some people were reluctant to greet her .
“Little miss . ”
Lea came to see me then .
“There you are . ”
“What is it, Lea?”
“It’s your meal time . ”
Lea who stood up smiling, bowed to Javelin .
When she saw Lea, she loosened her arms . Her hair flowed gently down the collarbone .
“When will you be mine?”
When she said so, she lightly raised Lea’s chin with her index finger .
The maids who came with Lea blushed and looked dazed .
She has such a cold personality, but she’s very popular to women rather than men .
The first escort of the empress and the captain of the white horse battalion, a unit of female knights .
— it was Javelin Ariage .
Lea smiled .
“You’re going too far with your jokes . ”
“Ah, it’s not funny because you’re not flustered . ”
With her arms crossed again, she goes into her room and closed the door .
“Shall we go, little miss? His Excellency is waiting . ”
“Yes . ”
I nod my head and hold Lea’s hand .
As I went down to the dining room, dad and Henry were sitting while facing each other . Isaac, who followed me, sat down and tell me to sit next to him .

The meal didn’t start until I sat down .
Isaac carried a milk cup to me and said,
“Aunt is here . ”
Henry, who cut and put the meat on my plate replied,
“Aunt?”
“Yes, she was with the kid . ”
“Is everything alright?”
I nodded at Henry’s words .
“She just asks who I am, I went into her room because I didn’t know it is her room . ”
“Yeah, that room deserved to be misunderstood . ”
“Kid, my aunt is a really scary person . If you’re not careful…”
And Isaac drew a straight horizontal line through his neck with his hand, I flinched and held the fork tight .
Javelin’s aura is too intense . Even though they were half-siblings, I didn’t know that she would be so similar to my father .
“Don’t be scared . Our aunt never touches a woman . ”
“You never know . Because she hate the church more than anyone else in Dubbled . ”
It is a famous story .
This is a story I heard in my second life, one day, Javelin accidently said it when she was drunk .
“I lost my three precious people to the church . ”
I don’t know all three of them, but I know one person .
Empress Elsa .
Adrian’s mother, it’s her who died .
I noticed she was very close to the late empress .
It took her less than a month to die because she was ill .
They didn’t inspect her body any further because the priest said that the empress have a disease caused by her divine power .
Javelin seem to think that Empress Elsa’s death was because of the church who cooperated with Empress Yvonne . I do think so too…
‘Hmm, then just how disgusted she is with me from the church?’
I could see why her eyes were so cold .
“My aunt is also the worst in Dubbled once she’s angry . ”
When I looked at Lea for confirmation, she smiled awkwardly and nodded .
‘Aaahh!’

‘I don’t want to annoy her…but it already happened!’
I went into the room without permission and read the letters .
It must be very special to her because she kept the letters .
I can’t say anything because I read such a precious thing freely .
How can I make up for it?
Should I give her a present?”
After the meal, I went back to my room and asked Lea .
“What will Javelin like?”
“Well, I’ve never seen Javelin show her likes or dislikes… . But why?”
“I want to get along with Javelin . ”
“That’s great, she’s a lonely woman . ”
Is Javelin lonely?
I snorted .
She is the queen of socialites, and she has a lot of followers . Hearing the news of her attending the party would make the party to be sought, so invitations came from all kinds of places to her .
“Because all of her friends have died and she haven’t been close to anyone . ”
“Friends?”
“I mean, the Duchess and Her Majesty . In particular, she cared about the duchess a lot . She was waiting for her fourth child to be born . ”
“Fourth…the fourth child?”
It was the fourth child of my father, who died without being born .
When the mage told him that their fourth daughter will be born, the people of the Dubbled were delighted .
Perhaps the same was the case with Dad, there were small shoes for girls in his drawer .
At first, I didn’t know it was for the fourth child . I asked Nos because I was curious about the shoe .
He gave a troubled look for a moment and answered .
“It belongs to the fourth child . His Excellency waited so long that he made a baby girl shoes in advance . ”
“That’s right . ”
“Your middle name is supposed to be Risette, right?”
Now I know why she stopped me from talking when she introduced me to Javelin .
‘Because I received her friend’s name as a middle name, a kid from the church . ’
I felt a little heavy in my heart .

‘Everyone would’ve be happy if the fourth child was born . ’
Then there is no need for Dad and Javelin to be lonely . The brothers would have been happy with their younger sister .
I was thinking so, but Lea’s expression darkened .
I guess she was worried about me getting along with Javeline .
In front of the door, Lea made eye contact with me .
“You’ll be able to make friends with Javelin just fine . Because you are similar to her . ”
“Me… . ?”
I have seen a portrait of the Duchess .
Unlike me, who has brown colored hair, she has a sparkling blonde hair, and she was beautiful enough to attract everyone’s attention .
I had changed a lot in this life, but I am not at as beautiful as Risette .
“I don’t resemble any of them . ”
She laughed .
“Not your face, but your attitude . ”
“Attitude?”
“Ocassionaly, you say something similar to Duchess Risette . ”
“You’re very similar to Miss Risette . You’re like her long lost daughter who—“
“Lea . ”
Someone called her name .
Me and Lea turned our heads in surprise . It was Javelin’s voice .
Her voice was much colder and more violent than before .
“Who are you saying is the daughter of Risette?”
Lea grew pale .
Javelin seems to care for Lea, but if she made a mistake, she won’t give any mercy .
‘I’ve heart it before in my past lives, Javelin is able to kill her own people . ’
I went to Javelin .
“Excuse me, Lea didn’t say that, she didn’t say I am her daughter, she was just trying to comfort me . I said I wanted to get along well with you . So!”
When I spoke urgently, Javelin’s eyes narrowed .
“Why me?”
“Because you’re a family…”
