I had no way of knowing what would happen if Dietrich couldnât become the Grand Duke.
âSigh.â
The dizzying triplets open their mouths at the same time.
âAnissa, why is that?â
âItâs nothing,â
Meslow pouted his lips with a fat face that wasnât happy with my answer.
âYouâre not playing with us these days. You canât use your abilities!â
âI mean, Iâm bored.â
RosĂŠ grabs and presses Meslowâs shoulder, his grumpy foot stomping. It took a few seconds, but still, the older sister, RosĂŠ, was the most grown-up of the children.
âOh, listen to Nissa, Meslow, if they find out that she have het abilities, she might be called out to the battlefield, so thatâs what it is.â
To RosĂŠâs voice, I nodded.
âBy the way, is it okay to not go back to your Rose Palace?â
âItâs okay. My mother wouldnât know that we werenât there anyway.â
Riesling, who replied to my question instead of RosĂŠ, made eye contact with me, squirting her fingers.
âMy father took my mother to investigate Liatris condition.â
Derek didnât realize that he was the reason Leatris went crazy.
âI think my mother even poisoned Liatris,â
I laughed at Rieslingâs answer. To him, she was like a worm that ate nothing but Alphonse, the children of Liatris.
It seemed that they thought that she, the hostess of LaGrange, would be shocked just because she killed one of those many children.
âI just blame the surroundings.â
I shuddered, recalling Derekâs black aura. He knew that the curse of Asmodeus remained in the castle, and that it was me who got rid of the curse.
But she was sure he didnât know until that mechanism.
âItâs not that people suddenly become weird, but because the curse has been released, everyone is returning to their sanity.â
Had it not been before the curse was lifted, I would not have been sad that the three twins and the unspeakable baby died.
âMaybe that side might have been better,â
a belated regret found. Lagrange was too harsh for children who knew emotions to endure.
âRiesling, do you remember before you met me?â
The clever child looks up at me with his eyes narrowed, as if finding my intentions.
The children of LaGrange, centered on me, started to interact, and the war killed half of those children.
âWhen there was nothing precious, I wouldnât have known the pain to lose.â
I canât forget the words Leatris, who lost Neil, muttered in silence.
All of the childrenâs auras who didnât know the sadness were colored blue.
âremember.â
âDonât you regret it? If you didnât know me, you wouldnât know Henry or the other kids.â
âIs it regret? If it had been, I wouldnât have been sad if Henry died?â
Children were sometimes quicker and more alert than adults. I donât know what my abilities are, but I might have noticed that the reason Lagrange changed a little bit.
I bowed my head without meeting Rieslingâs clear purple eyes.
âAnissa.â
The little hand of the child rests over my head.
âI think Iâm so glad that Anite has come to us,â
Riesling said, nodded together as if Messlow and Rose were hitting each other.
âOh, if we hadnât met Nissa, we would have hated each other in the end. We wouldnât have known that Henry was a clumsy but friendly kid, and we wouldnât have known that Yuricâs eyes were pretty.â
He said he didnât know why he hated us all the time.
âBesides, Iâve always been angry for no reason, but I donât feel that way when Iâm with Anit,â
I smiled at Meslowâs words. He was especially a child who was easily affected by the curse.
âWe need anit company.â
That was a word I needed, but it was the first time I heard it in my previous and this life.
âYouâre a useless John Jay for my family,â
her noble older sister stubbornly didnât take it out of her mouth, but she often said it with her eyes.
âWithout you, our siblings would be perfect.â
I was like a blot. All my life I thought it was my fault.
It was a sin to be a younger i who embarrassed them because I wasnât good at it.
âBut Dietrich didnât say that.â
Dietrich, who will be dozens of times better than them, has never been embarrassed when I canât spill milk, stutter, and even handle shadows.
âThe same is true of these children,â
I looked down at my hand that RosĂŠ held with strength.
ââŚâŚâŚThank you for telling me that,â
LaGrange was clearly changing. Children are no longer stereotypical villains.
The only space given to us is Dahliaâs small garden, but only there we were able to laugh with ease.
âIs it okay if I donât give up this time?â
I didnât have much, but I was used to giving up. Maybe it was because there was nothing so precious that I couldnât give up.
âItâs different now,â
Dietrich was precious to me.
Even in spring, the breath is cold enough, but this desolate land where flowers bloom nonetheless.
These children who do not lose their laughter even in the evil-cursed family.
âItâs precious.â
I spit out of my mouth the words that I chewed only on inside.
âYouâre precious. Iâm so happy to see you too.â
A week later, I was called back to Derek, and I turned down his offer.
As soon as I heard the devilâs loud laughter, I was trapped in solitary confinement.
đ¸ đ¸ đ¸ đ¸ đ¸
The hores said it was because theâfatherâ was trying to get rid of the troubledâdaughterâ, but the room in which Derek locked me was more like a prison than a normal bedroom.
So he kept me locked up longer than I thought, but it was bearable.
âBut my prediction was correct.â
As I looked at the grate in the damp basement where the sunlight didnât come in, I swept my back.
The girl in the mirror looks at me, revealing her white neck. Fortunately, there was no injured place thanks to the gentle pull.
âI donât think I can hurt myself either.â
My existence was necessary for Dietrichâs succession, and as my comfort was related to the succession of LaGrange, it seemed that Derek, a Duke, couldnât hurt me.
âIs the devil spying on it?â
But just because there is no injured place does not make this situation satisfactory.
I called a knight standing in front of my room like a guard.
âcirca.â
ââŚâŚ.. .â
âcirca!â
Reluctantly at my call, the knight slowly approaches. The aura was not widely spread thanks to the knights taking their energy well.
âCan you come closer?â
âIs there a problem.â
Hard to speak, it seems obvious to be wary of me. I reached out and stirred his aura.
âItâs not purification, but will it be something like this?â
âIâm going to disappear suddenly and my maid chief is all affirming. Canât you give me the news?â
âMy duty is to stop the princess from leaving the room, not the princessâs errand.â
The knight who refused my request like a knife turned his back quickly.
Instead of grabbing him, I focused on grabbing his aura and coloring him pink.
ââŚâŚ.. .â
âPlease.â
ââŚâŚOkay.â
âItâs real.â
I looked at my hands alternately touching the knightâs back and his aura.
The power of a small hand made up of fine lines on a thin wrist was more powerful than I thought.
âAnissa in a novel would not do this.â
Erediaâs reasoning is, in essence, a good force.
Purifying auras stained with evil or curse is something that priests who worship goddesses often do, but controlling emotions by moving auras in this way was something that a demon like a succubus did.
âBut you canât live with only good things.â
The tools you can use are the laws you have to use and live.
A knight who had no feelings for me would suddenly become unable to control his desire to help me.
The knight who came back was still a hard face, but there was a doll that did not fit in his hand.
âYouâre maid Marilyn, said you already know this.â
âthatâs?â
âThe princess will need this doll.â
I laughed at the raccoon brother whom Marilyn had taken care of.
I am already twelve years old, and the age to play with these stuffed toys has passed.
âItâs fluffy,â
but it was comforting in a prison-like room without a single cushion.
âShall I order to prepare meals.â

âNo, I have no appetite. Itâs okay.â
âEven if you donât have a taste, you donât skip meals. Youâre too dry.â
Without permission, the knight picked up my forearm once, then kicked his tongue and took off his helmet. I widened my surprised eyes.
