I came out of the dressing room with gloves that Lea gave me on my 5th birthday .
I was getting ready to go to the capital .
My dad said he would take me after he took care of his job . Of course I will go with him .
‘It will take awhile for my dad to take care of his job, but I still have to pack my luggage one by one in advance . ’
I have so much stuff that I can’t just pack for a day or two, or else, I would go to the capital and suffer .
“This too!”
“Can the bag even be closed?”
Lea glanced at my luggage and said,
The luggage I’m packing this time was already full again . I couldn’t take as much as I wanted because there was a limit to the luggage I could take in the carriage .
“I’ll bring the gloves next time . ”
“Then do you want me to tell you to take your gloves next time so that you don’t forget?”
“Yes . ”
These gloves were precious .
As Lea was a knight, she wasn’t good with her hands and had a hard time knitting, she fixes it again several times by reducing her sleeping time .
The finished product was very sloppy, but they are very precious to me .
“Is there anything else you need?”
I nodded,
“Ah!”
‘I have to take that too . ’
I left the room to go to the portrait room on the west wing .
I stared at the always magnificent portrait .
It was an old man with silver hair and blue eyes, a symbol of the Dubbled family .
‘I know who this grandpa is now . ’
I didn’t know who he was when I first saw him, but the employees later informed me . The man in this portrait is one of the first of Dubbled families .
I stared at the portrait and put my hands together while saying .
‘Excuse me, grandfather . ’
I pulled a chair and climbed onto it . Then, I reached for the amethyst in the center of the frame .
When I was four years old, as soon as I saw a portrait here, I heard a “voice” and passed out .
‘At first I thought that was the voice of Boone . ’
But on second thought, it wasn’t .
I remember clearly the first words Boone said .
[I finally met the little miss . ]
‘It means he hasn’t seen me before . ’
So the ‘voice’ might belong to another devil that Boone does not know .
Until now, I was always inside the Dubbled’s fence, and there wasn’t a place where I could call out the devil freely .
Above all, if the wish of the devil was not granted, the devil could not be returned, so in the worst case, there was a risk that the wish could not be granted and my divine power would be gone while maintaining the devil .
So I didn’t touch it, but I thought I’d take it with me because I didn’t know what kind of incident I could be in if I lived in the capital in the future .
I got permission from my dad too .
“A little bit more…”
I raised my body with all my might .
‘Gotcha!’
“What are you doing?”
I could hear someone’s voice .
I was surprised and lost my balance .
“Aahhhh!”
I stumbled and fell .
Bang!
The chair fell with the sound and I fell down .
‘Wh-who?’
I raised my head .
“You’re doing a strange thing . ”
As soon as I saw the boy who said so, I recognized who he was .
Because…
‘My father…’
Because he looks like my dad but the younger version!
Among the three brothers of Dubbled, he resembles our father the most .
‘Johann Dubbled . ’
I stiffened .
He stared at me .
“Young Master!”

Dubos, who rushed in, called him .
“Ah, it’s the little miss . Haha, you have met him already? It must be your first time seeing each other . This is your big brother, Johann . And, Johann, this is…”
“I know . ”
“Pardon?”
“A thief . ”
He glanced at the amethyst in my hand and said that .
It’s been five years since I finally met an obstacle .
‘Cause I was seen as a thief!’
The whole family of Dubbled gathered at the dining room .
On the middle of the table sat Dad, Henry and Isaac on the left, and Johann on the right .
I sat across from my father and looked at Johann .
Henry, who had his mouth closed with a napkin, put down his fork and smiled at his brother .
“But why are you here? I heard you were attacked on your way back, you must have been very scared . ”
That was a sarcasm, Henry meant to say ‘did you come home to hide?’
Henry’s expression changed in a flash .
“Why are you here?”
“I’d rather be scared than to pitifully own a small power . ”
“Are you saying that to me? Let’s try it . ”
A blue spark rose from Isaacs hands . Then,
Clang!
There was a shrill sound of the tableware . It was my dad .
“In front of me, I told you to not have a nasty fight, right?”
His father’s words faded the spark from Isaac’s hands .
I stiffened .
‘I’m so nervous… . ’
Although my dad and my brothers are not uncomfortable with each other for a long time, I thought their relationship is not this bad .
It must have been true that the Dubbled’s relationship in my previous life was even more fierce .
‘Well, Henry and Isaac also didn’t get along very well at first . ’
Even now they’re not best friends, but they can tolerate each other .
When the sons shut their mouths, my father asked again,

“So Johann, why are you here?”
“This is the third time I’ve been attacked near the border . ”
Isaac asked while frowning .
“So what? All these years, me and Henry were attacked as well when we went back and forth from the capital . ”
“That’s the problem . ”
Johann said while poking the meat .
“It’s only natural that Dubbled is attacked . ”
“We’re always in danger of kidnapping . A couple of bandits usually use children to blackmail their parents, and raid those expensive carriages . ”
“Who dared attack the carriage of the Dubbled?”
Henry and Isaac’s facial expressions changed as he said so .
“Some stupid guy . ”
Henry narrowed the space between his brows and answered instead of Isaac .
“Because those who inflicted the harm before had their family and relatives died . There were no ones who received requests to assassinate Dubbled in fear . ”
Johann looked at his father and said,
“To be honest, it’s bothersome . ”
“So?”
“They’re like tigers without teeth . ”
“You mean yourself?”
Dad and Johann’s eyes met constantly .
I lowered my head quickly and concentrated on the meal .
‘Let’s eat quickly and run away . ’
However, it was not easy to get out of the situation, so I quickly chewed the meat .
Hurry, hurry .
When I chewed it, I felt my gums hurting and there was something inside my mouth .
I bit my tongue in surprise .
“Ahh!”
“Kid!”
“Leblaine . ”
Henry and Isaac approached and asking me,
“Are you all right?”

“Did you bite your tongue? Let me see . ”
I cried and opened my mouth . Then, something fell on the plate and rolled away .
“… . . ”
“… . . ”
“What is iwt?” (What is it?)
Gasp! What’s wrong with my pronunciation?
When I looked at the plate in amazement, I can see two of my teeth .
‘Right, it was time for me to lose my teeth . ’
Because of my slow growth, my teeth fell out when I was nine years old .
I cried and looked at my brothers . With a puzzled look on his face, Isaac alternately watch between me and my missing tooth .
And he burst into laughter . Henry, too, was turning his head and visibly laughing .
“Dwon’t laugh!” (Don’t laugh!)
My two teeth fall out and I sound weird .
“I talked about the teeth of a tiger, and now we really have a teeth…”
Isaac slapped the table and laughed . Henry’s shoulders also shook more violently .
I stared at my dad .
‘Look at them dad!’
I looked for help, but my father’s mouth was also smiling .
After the meal, the maids surrounded me .
“Don’t be too sad, little miss . ”
“Yes, people lose their teeth . It will grow back soon . ”
“Bwut, isn’t this funny?” (But isn’t this funny?)
I have to go to the capital now . Wouldn’t it be funny if I had two teeth missing?
‘My goal was to be a dignified young miss of Dubbled . ’
As I became sullen, the maids quickly said,
“It’s not!”
That is comforting… .
“Really?”
As soon as I opened my mouth, I heard laughter from all sides .
Liars . They’re all liars!
