She was so confident that her confidence would earn her an award.
‘If you were going to be so confident
’
When the word ‘prove’ first came out, Harris’s reaction was clearly different. The Grand Duke’s face hardened a little as if he had something to believe.
“You’re like a different person, Harris.”
“Because I’m confident, so go ahead.”
The Grand Duke stared silently at Harris and looked around. My gaze also moved accordingly to his gaze, and the surroundings looked a little strange.
The nobles’s eyes looked around the place a little uneasy as they gathered in groups.
Of course, I thought Harris would look like that, but it turned out to be the opposite.
‘Why am I nervous?’
I looked at her in a strange way, but she held out her hand with a similar attitude and expression.
“How long are you waiting?”
Only then did the Grand Duke nod his head and look at his servant. As he had done with Lexit, the servant approached Harris very slowly and pricked the child’s hand with a needle. Harris let out a small ‘Ouch’.
Then, drops of blood fell from the child’s hand. It was almost the same as before. Drops of blood fell on the beads, and a black smoke rose as soon as Harris’s blood dropped. As if waiting for this moment, the Grand Duke pressed his hand, which had been cut earlier, and stopped slightly.
Then the red drops of blood dripped down again, and the smoke fused together in the beds.
The nobles, who did not respond much when Lexit did, made a noise and their eyes twinkled.
“As expected, I’m sure she’s the real daughter of the Grand Duke!”
“Yes, it’s exactly the same reaction as Master Lexit.”
The words added one by one changed the atmosphere of the meeting into a friendly atmosphere. However, the Grand Duke’s face darkened.
“How are you feeling, Your Highness? She’s your real daughter. This is the moment you’re certain she’s your last child.”
“Honestly, we all knew you were the real daughter without having to do this.”
“That’s right.”
The Grand Duke, who listened to them, smirked and nodded very slowly.
“Yes, that’s right. I’m sure she’s my child.”
“Yes, of course. We’ve all seen it here.”
Harris’s shoulders stretched out as she watched them confidently.
The Grand Duke slowly approached Harris.
“It’s the way you wanted it to be.”
“Oh, and I told you! I’m not going to stand still because you suspected me!”
“You must have hated me for doubting you, Harris.”
“Yeah, I’ll let you regret it.”
However, despite Harris’s appearance, the Grand Duke did not blink an eye.
“Yes, of course I’ll regret it if you’re really my daughter. But Harris
 you’re telling me a lie again today.”
“You’re lying! Are you doubting me now?”
As soon as he heard the voice of a very annoyed child, the Grand Duke approached the servant, who was walking away with a thud. The servant, who was holding the bead as if it were something very precious, flinched slightly as if surprised by the steps of the Grand Duke.
“Why are you so surprised?”
“Oh, no! What a surprise!”
She said no, but anyone could see that she was surprised.
“Give me your hand.”
“Huh? My hand?”
“Yes.”
“Haha
 yes, yes.”
The curious servant reached out his hand awkwardly. It was natural that his posture became strange because he was holding beads on a silver plate.
As if annoyed, the Grand Duke sighed and a knight later approached to take the bead.
“Hold out your hand properly.”
At that, the servant turned his hand upside down and held it.
“Is this enough?”
“Of course. Now Harris, hold out your hand.”
“What’s wrong with my hand?”
“If you didn’t lie, tell me.”
Harris looked more uncomfortable than before, looking at the Grand Duke.
“What’s wrong with you?”
“Why can’t you give me your hand, Harris?”
“No, I can give you my hand, but my dad is the worst! Why are you doing this when I said it wasn’t me?”
Harris reached out her plump hand to the Grand Duke.
“Your hands are clean, considering you just got pricked.”
“Well, it
 it stopped bleeding quickly! Are you picking a fight with me for that?”
“I’m not picking a fight.”
Then, the Grand duke’s hand swept Harris’s hand very slowly.
Surprised by his unexpected behavior, Harris tried to fold her hands quickly, but he laughed as if he had found something in between.
“But
 What is this?”
The Grand Duke swept his fingers slowly.
“What’s what?”
“What just came out of your hand?”
“I-I don’t know. What did you get?”
