Count Penak visited the castle to discuss the new trading route .
Count Penak’s port was needed for the new trade route father had made .
But when he arrived, he also brought the countess and Billy .
I met them when I was in my dad’s arms .
“I wanted to apologize for the disturbance at the tea party, so I brought him here to apologize . ”
The Count and his wife laid down their gifts at the door .
The countess bent to me .
“I need to teach my son better, he was wrong . ”
Then she hits Billy’s waist .
Billy bowed his head but he didn’t look like he wanted to apologize .
“I’m sorry . ”
I glanced at the vassals gathered in the courtyard .
Opening a new trade route is an essential business for Dubbled .
In the future, Dubbled united the traders on the basis of this trade route, which became the messenger of the Duke and asked for information .
Of course, it became one more money source earned by the trade route’s fee .
I don’t really want to accept Billy’s apology, but I nodded anyway .
“You can visit our mansion—“
When the count tried to say something, father said,
“I don’t remember allowing you to open your mouth . ”
The count was shocked .
Just by standing there he felt pressure from the duke’s gaze .
‘Oh no, Count Penak is a person with strong pride, the deal might fail . ’
I patted my dad on the shoulder .
“I want to go down . ”
Then the Duke put me down very carefully .
The Count and his wife took a deep breath .
Those who came with the count were also surprised .
“Oh my God . ”
“She’s really cute…”
I shook my dad’s collar .
“I want to go to the greenhouse . Dad, work hard . ”
“Yes . ”
He smiled faintly and stroked my hair .
I bent my knees while holding my skirt .
“I’ll go in first . ”
The guests looked disappointed, but they couldn’t hold me back . I was young and had no obligation to receive guests .
Dubos will be the one who receives the guest today .
If I grow up a little more, I will have to take over the role, but it was still time to have fun .
‘But I won’t really have fun . ’
I have to approve the documents from Seria .
Over the past five years, I have learned how to control the top from the Chairman and the maid Yuni, a former loan shark .
The chairman taught very well, but Yuni was even greater .
“Only one should be tenacious when playing with money . Only then, people wouldn’t touch you . ”
“If you can’t manage your tax, it’s over . There’s no reason for you to earn money and waste half of your money on taxes . Actually, it wouldn’t be good to collide with the tax collector, but in my case…”
She doesn’t even know that I run the top of hope, but she explained it to me every time I asked her .
‘Tomorrow is the collection day . The day the money comes into my hand . ’
I hummed while going up the stairs .
Just when I was about to grab the doorknob .
“Hey . ”
I heard Billy’s voice .
“Hey?”
When I asked back, Billy came up to me and said,
“How have you been?”
“I thought they said you were here to apologize for your disrespect last time . ”
“You’re still upset because of that?”
What is he saying?
When I blinked in bewilderment, Billy grinned and wiped my cheek with the back of his hand .
I was offended and pushed his hand away .
“You’re so cute when you’re like this . ”
Is he really crazy?
“You should have told me if you liked me . Why do you use violence? I’ll have to show you how to seduce a man from now on . ”
“……”
“Hear my advice, women should be gentle during the day, be sexy at night . That’s what you have to do . ”
“……”
“Violence won’t get my attention . Okay?”

Does he think I hit him to get his attention?
I laughed at him for his strange confidence .
“Why would I seduce you?”
“Because I’m handsome…”
“You’re ugly . ”
“Th, that’s ridiculous!”
I shook my head .
“It’s true . You’re so ugly . You’re the ugliest person I’ve ever met!”
Billy’s face turned red when I said it .
“Yo, you rude orphan!”
I guess this is all he is able to reply .
I lost my interest in him . Suddenly, I could hear someone’s voice behind me .
“You, what did you say just now?”
Isaac put down the wild boar he was carrying and looked at Billy .
Bam!
Billy, who flew away in an instant, and went down to the floor groaned pitifully .
Isaac approached him . As the sound of footsteps neared, Billy’s face grew pale .
“I asked you what you just said . ”
“I, I, umm, I… . ”
Isaac grabbed Billy’s shivering shoulder . It seemed to be a light grab on the surface, but in an instant I could hear Billy’s shoulder cracked .
“Aaghh!”
A terrible scream echoed .
“Brother!”
I called Isaac quickly .
If Isaac killed him, he cannot avoid punishment because he is the count’s son .
It doesn’t matter if that future rapist dies but Isaac matters to me .
But Isaac, wouldn’t let go of him even if I called him .
I signalled the employees and knights who came running in amazement at the noise .
Stop him, stop him!
Those who received my signal rushed to Isaac with a grim face as if they are ready to die .
Normally, he already kicked everyone who hinders him but he can’t now because I was near him .
As Isaac let go of Billy, the count and countess was very surprised to hear his son’s scream and went here .
We were also joined by Viscount Dubos .
“Oh my god, Billy…!”

She ran to her crying son immediately .
Count Penak also went to his son in a hurry .
Billy’s shoulders were completely twisted . To the point where I wondered if they could bring that to the original state .
“Ahh… . argh!…”
The couple was shocked at the sight of their son, who was crying and complaining about the pain .
“Doctor! Call a doctor now! What are you doing!”
“What happened, how did you…!”
Billy pointed at Isaac while trembling . The faces of the Penak couple hardened .
“Why on earth did you do this!”
When the count screamed, Isaac stared at them with a cold gaze .
“Shut up, I tried to kill him, but I held it in . ”
“Wh, what?”
Isaac didn’t explain anything again .
‘Stupid!’
I know why he keeps his mouth shut .
Isaac doesn’t want to mention the word ‘orphan’ again .
Viscount Dubos said to Count Penak with an embarrassed face .
“That, I think the children quarrel a little bit too much this time . ”
“Only a children quarrel?!”
The countess replied in anger .
“My kid’s in this state, and it’s only a child’s quarrel! Oh my god . Some kids are very horrible . ”
Count Penak also spoke .
“I’ll file a formal complaint to the imperial family . ”
Viscount Dubos sighed .
If they did so, Isaac would be taken away .
Of course, the duke’s son will not live in prison like any other criminal . But the Duke of Dubbled won’t stay still .
Another problem is that the one who’ll receive complaints in the imperial office is John Stefan, is the brother-in-law of Marquis Nodelly, who has been wanting to catch the Dubbleds .
Now if Isaac was captured, he wouldn’t leave him alone .
With this incident, he will try to find something to put pressure on Dubbled .
Viscount Dubos went forward and lifted his hand .
“It will have a negative impact on your child as well as on my master . Calm down and let’s discuss the compensation process . ”
“My child is like this, and as his parents I can’t just shut my mouth because of the compensation! My son is not just any child . The future and honor of the Penak family!”
Count Penak continued,

“If it’s not as good as the founding emperor’s tapestry, how can I be compensated for this?”
Viscount Dubos’s face hardened .
The tapestry of the founding emperor was given to the Duke of Dubbled .
He repeatedly tried to have tapestries bearing the true name of the founding emperor from the imperial palace, but he could not get them .
It was proof of power that even the imperial palace couldn’t intervene .
The Count face’s was now challenging him, his face was now as if he was saying,
The fate of Isaac Dubbled is now in his hands .
Just then,
“Then what will the Penak family do to make amends for squandering our honor?”
I asked while holding Isaac’s hands .
Count Penak was taken aback by my voice, However, he soon burst out laughing .
“What? How is he squandering your honor!”
“Your son called me an orphan . ”
“What, what…?!”
“I am the daughter of Dubbled, who was recognized by my father, Duke of Dubbled, and approved by the Emperor . Who’s the one who needs to be reported?”
“No way! My son wouldn’t have done that…!”
Count Penak defended his son before I finished my words .
“Th, that…that girl…no, that girl called me ugly…!”
The people around us are confused about the situation .
Was it such an insult by saying that he was ugly?
The Countess, who was hugging his son, was also at a loss .
Isaac was about to defend me, but I put my hands on his and narrowed my eyes .
“Isaac, stop! I’m not an orphan . I’m not scared of the word! I didn’t have any parents originally, but now I have my dad and brothers . So I’m not an orphan . ”
“But… . ”
“Why should I be scared when I have my older brothers and dad?”
Isaac didn’t say anything as I turned towards the Penak family .
“How will you compensate for the insult he has inflicted on me, as you said?”
Count Penak froze .
No, it wasn’t time for this .
‘Before the Duke came, I somehow need to settle this…!’
“W,wait, let’s talk for a moment . So this is, uh…”
“Let’s talk about it after your son’s life is gone . ”
The people were stunned by his cold voice .
The Duke and Henry came to us and were staring at them with an even colder eyes .
