Chapter 3

“What are you doing here, Dietrich?”

Dereck LaGrange’s voice was so low to be called a human voice.

I exhaled as I watched his dark red aura gnaw the air in the room.

‘Urghh. Huh. I’m choking!’

I wanted to open the window, but I couldn’t even get out of the cradle.

‘How many human in the world have auras like that?’

Derreck LaGrange’s aura was terrible beyond words.

It was all like cruelty, sadistic pleasure, anger, and jealousy that mingled together to transform into a reddish lump that was no longer in the form of fog but had become a lump of thick mud.

This is not a situation that involves anyone. What do you usually think about?

“I was just carrying out the conditions.”

“Hm? Yes? Who is that baby?”

‘That? Look at that? What am I?’

I squeezed my toes to the fullest extent in Derreck’s words.

‘Ughh Ughh! bad guy!’

“….. the daughter of Camille LaGrange.”

Dietrich responded calmly to Derreck’s question. It is an attitude that he has nothing to do with me or Camille.

“Camille? Who was Camille?”

Derreck was silent as if trying to remember who Camille was among more than thirty “wives”.

I was stunned by his actions, and a laugh came out.

“Oh! Are you referring to the battle slaves I bought from the slave market?”

“…Yes, that’s right.”

“But why can’t I see her?” 1

“She died giving birth to a child.”

Dietrich announced the death of his biological mother. Derreck raises his eyebrows as if he had no idea at all.

“Oh, my money wasted.” 2

‘Crazy bastard’

I was glad I couldn’t speak now. If it weren’t, the unbearable curse would have jumped out from my lips.

That’s not what the father said in front of child who lost his mother.

But Derreck LaGrange was a human with no such common sense.

“Well, one successor candidate ran away, so he had to pay it.”

He sat down, looking down coldly at Dietrich, who jumped at his words.

“But the first thing that dies of LaGrange’s children is the ones who are be candidates as fast as you.”

He said it like Dietrich would die quickly.

“If you’re useless, don’t eat the food and hurry to death.”

You just say something like a beggar that can’t understand with his head even if he listen.

“Yes, I will keep it in my mind.”

When Derreck heard Dietrich’s answer, He left without even looking at my cradle.

When I stared at Derreck’s back, I fold my finger hard and pulled out the middle finger. 2

‘Eat or be eaten!’

Of course, my hand in the cradle won’t be visible to Derreck who has already gone out. But it just for the sake of expressing my feelings.

‘Well, there is a people like that.’

No matter how bad the novel was, Derreck was more bad.

Besides, I’m not ‘Anissa Euclid’ who pretending to be ‘Anissa LaGrange’.

In addition to being able to look good in front of Dietrich, I also had to avoid Derreck’s eyes.

The ability without attack power like me wasn’t necessary for LaGrange, so he could cut my neck.

“… Is your hand broken?”

“Hey!”

Dietrich who came to me suddenly looked my finger. He stared in astonishment at me who looked scared while clenched my fists.

“I can’t feel it.”

Dietrich put a hand on my forehead and muttered the spell with a small voice. It was like exploring my abilities.

Of course my power wasn’t sloppy enough to get caught up in such search magic.

By the way, does that mean he who is only six years old already uses magic?

‘I’m going to die.’

Dietrich looked at me indifferently and shortly evaluated.

‘No, I’m not going to die!’

“Ppa!” (Oppa/Brother)

I grabbed his hand again and laughed.

Somehow I would dig into your shadow and survive.

***

What do you do if you decide to look good in Dietrich’s eyes so you can survive in LaGrange but can’t see the child at all.

After saving me once from the crisis, Dietrich didn’t show me his black hair.

“Papa. Mama ah?”

“It’s noisy.”

I asked Lancel where is Dietrich, but he couldn’t understand what I was saying. 1

He grumbled to the bottle in my mouth.

“Pue!”

I haven’t raised a baby, so I don’t know well. But, why don’t you feed me with the milk well?

The bottle that Lancel gave was cold and couldn’t be chewed. It’s because LaGrange is a very cold northern land.

‘Sure. Are you trying to freeze the bottle on purpose? ‘

“I’m tired with life anyway.”

Lancel mumbled as he looked at me sucking the bottle sideways. It was too cold, but I was too hungry.

Um. Maybe it was on purpose.

If the day comes when I capture Dietrich’s heart and exercise power in LaGrange, you must be fired.

I looked at Lancel who was staring at me and he laughing as if I was pathetic.

“Papo!” (bad guy)

He didn’t know whether I was insulting or not so Lancel just laughed and said that I was looking more stupid.

‘But it’d be nice to make him on my side.’

He was quite unkind to me, but he was the only one who often brought in a frozen bottles in my room.

“It’s annoying and I’m going to die.”

I never missed his complaints.

Lancel is a self-talking person, so I was able to grasp the internal situation of LaGrange with his lament.

Currently, there are a total of ten ‘candidates’ in LaGrange. No, it was ten.

I remember the two people who were beaten by Dietrich from Lancel’s words.  Two of them are brothers who always act together, they lose the game and disappear.

‘No, they wouldn’t have been so easy if they’re was a candidate.’

The remaining candidates were eight, Dietrich-who was only six years old-was the youngest.

The children who were selected as candidates had the lowest survival rate. The game that they have to take part in is far more dangerous than games for kids who aren’t candidates.

‘Of course Dietrich will win.’

Surviving as the candidate game would have made it possible to be the Grand Duke of LaGrange.

Dietrich was only 17 years old.

He was the youngest in history to sit in the seat as a Grand Duke of LaGrange. In other words, he’s a psychopath who killed his brothers and fathers in such a young age.

‘Well, there are all such crazy succession methods.’

Believe it or not, that was how to become a Grand Duke of LaGrange.

LaGrange consolidated the position of the strongest family in the Empire with the motto get rid of the weak ones.

After raising dozens of children, the strongest and most brutal child succeeds to the next succession.

Children with little or no humanity remain in the candidate stage.

‘I can’t find a sibling who can share affection.’

I wanted to make a friend to play with dolls together, but it was impossible in this damn house.

Of course, if I gave up the succession, I could hold my life on condition that I would serve my family forever. That is the way to be laughed by people around me, including my brother and other.

‘It’s important to live, Are other people’s views important?’

I will give up succession as soon as I can talk.

I had an idea it was like saying that I would live as a slave to LaGrange until my death.

‘To do that, you have to get close to Dietrich!’

“Papapapa!”

“Are you bored?”

Lancel took me out of the cradle and dropped me on the floor, but even if I seem bored, I don’t know what her standards regarding my behavior.

Now, I can stand and crawl. But Lancel locked me in a cradle with pure motives for her convenience. 2

If I mess around in the room, will I only increase her work?

“Then you’re playing. I’m busy, so I have to go.”

I know you’re not going to take care of me, so bad!

But I smiled and waved to Lancel, saying like I didn’t know anything.

“Pppaaa!”

Well, it’s possible for Lancel to come out like that because it’s annoying for her to taking care of me.

I didn’t miss the moment Lansell left my room, and I put a toy in between the doorways.

As soon as I noticed her distant footsteps, I put my head through the gap in the door between my rattles.

“Yess. Yess.”

Pong! (The fart sound.lol)

Oops, I gave it so much that it farts.

But it was okay because no one was in the hallway.

I am not a precious princess in this house, but I am still a princess too, and I can’t do it anywhere.

When I was born and left the room for the first time, I went to the hallway and turned my head from side to side to find Dietrich’s aura.

“Eungg, eunggg.”

I’m not used to walking yet, so I feel like I’m a dog.

‘Is Dietrich will be there too?’

LaGrange was a large family of more than a dozen children and wives, and even over one hundred people were counted when they lived.

Naturally, the noble castle was insanely wide.

But I knew where Dietrich often goes.

I ran out in search for Dietrich without hesitation. Oh no.

I do not know who he buried in the ground.
