I Played the Role of the Adopted Daughter Too Well Chapter 33

My na is Viola Verratoux. I turned seven this year.

This seemingly simple greeting included a stern warning, as Viola also revealed that she is a Verratoux.

V-Verratoux?

Did you say Verratoux?

Viola grinned inwardly.

You an you approached without knowing I was Verratoux?

She guessed they are rcenaries who are commissioned by Hera herself. They seed to have been hired without knowing who their opponent would be.

Well, a strong-minded rcenary wouldnt carry out this request.

A mission to kidnap a child

Those who try to kidnap and sell the powerless little girl of the fallen aristocracy as slaves are usually not properly trained rcenaries. Maybe, they had done a lot of evil hence why they have accepted this mission without alarm or much concern.

The masked people, who were briefly flustered, soon burst into laughter as though they were dumbfounded.

Youre Verratoux?

A Verratoux is walking around this secluded place without an attendant? Hahaha!

Of course, youre a Verratoux!

They did not believe Viola.

First, I revealed that I was Verratoux, and secondly, I also revealed that I was seven years old.

What on earth does this lady believe in to be so bold?

The masked n approached with a grin.

Here, in Winter Castle under the strict orders of Duke Heron, every child under the age of ten is to be protected. Nevertheless, you have threatened with weapons

She muttered softly.

Trash.

She was sure they were literal trash, but she asked just in case.

How many children have you kidnapped and sold as slaves?

At least twenty.

They said it as if they were bragging. Then, one of them interrupted. No, brother. Didnt we have a big one last ti? I think it is over thirty.

Oh, it was.

Well, kidnapping and slave sales seed to be sothing to be proud of for them.

He let out a laugh.

Especially, for cute children like you, we sell them at a high price.

Viola reached out her hand.

Xenon, clean water.

At that, sothing wriggled up from her shadow.

The masked people were frightened. A state to which a person can be completely hidden in the shadowsit was impossible thought by the masked people.

Here.

Viola, who received the water bottle, washed her ears and her palm.

Ive heard sothing too dirty.

Y-you! Who are you!

Shouting, the masked n pointed weapons at Xenon, although he just simply chuckled.

Then, the man, who appeared to be a lot larger than the four, tilted his head.

Ho?

Everything went by so fast that they couldnt even catch a glimpse of him. As they were feeling dizzy

Flop.

All their bodies collapsed onto the hard floor.

No one was able to move.

Everyone was poisoned. Their bodies didnt move, and even their mouths were stiffened still. It was as though they had turned hardened like a statue.

The one who fell was poisoned, and the other three who are paralyzed Ill give you a choice.

Xenon continued with a grin.

In an hour. They are gonna die, anyway.

Only his voice echoed in the dead silence.

.

You may take your leave from Winter Castle in an hour. That way, Ill let the other three live.

Murder in the Winter Solstice Castle is prohibited. Therefore, killing people in the castle would only complicate things.

When I count down from ten, the poison will be releasedTen, nine

When the numbers are counted, monts after, Xenon snapped his finger.

With that, the paralytic poison has been lifted as if it was a lie.

Choose. Do you all want to die in poison, or do you want only one of you to die?

I-I, Ill take my leave, then.

That would be in an hour.

I-I see.

She held the fallen man. The other three started running.

Viola said with a relaxed smile.

Sister, if you dont co out right now, Ill kill every one of the Terra rchant.

She thought about it for a while, Viola had to adapt to this world.

Words of warning are powerless, after all.

She ate her heart out.

And, Xenon, they should all be dead as soon as they get out of the Winter Castle.

The door to Moon Night opened again.

She could hear the wheelchair wheels rolling. There, Viola could see a silver-haired girl sitting in a wheelchair, and she ca close with the thin arms rolling the wheels.

You promised not to bring the butler.

I dont think there are any ntions of you bringing such trash as well, sister?

I didnt bring them. Its just that Ive leaked information about the coming of a fallen aristocracy.

Viola grinned. She said sothing she didnt an.

You should know that I brought the butler as an act, sister.

Why?

She then gazed at Xenon, as she tried to imitate the original Viola.

If I didnt bring the butler

She smiled.

I would have killed them all.

If a pure-blood Verratoux commits murder in the Winter castle, the incident would have escalated way too quickly. A group of inspectors will co to the Dukes castle and get to the bottom of the case.

Ive announced that Im Verratoux, and Ive already revealed that Im seven years old. Nevertheless, they threatened . I would have killed them all, so it could be deducted as self-defense.

Viola wanted to cry.

Damn it! My pronunciation is off again!

Though luckily, Hera didnt notice it.

I have to take so responsibility, but whos going to be in more trouble? The person who did this dirty, frivolous thing, which is unlike a Verratoux, would suffer the most, right? Wont your position be narrower? Rather, I think I would be praised.

Hera was speechless at the mont.

Viola stood in front of her and made eye contact with Hera.

I had a good view of my sister. Im still looking forward to you.

Viola in the original novel hates backhanded tricks. She thought ploys and tricks were just cowardly tricks. But, Han Arin did not think of it that way. Hera is doing the best she can, and she was one of the readers who supported Hera.

Thats why Im keeping them alive.

The masked man, whose eyes t Viola, flinched. He didnt know why the seven-year-olds eyes were so ferocious. That look, obviously, was the eyes that killed a man. It was as though she was from a different race and was born differently.

She is still young, but I feel like shed be a killer if she grew up a little more

Sister, why did you lie to ?

Why dont you call it a day since you brought your butler?

Hearing her words, Viola grinned slightly.

Yes, lets call it a day.

I am a little relieved. Im glad I was a reader.

Because she just ca here without knowing anything. Viola almost panicked.

Ill push you, then.

As she walked behind Hera, Xenon ca close as well.

Ill push her for you, Princess.

Its okay. Shes my sister.

Heras body flinched.

Its okay. Shes my sister

That didnt sound oddly bad

Violas appearance now and Violas appearance before seed to be different.

No, shes really not different.

Even if Viola showed embarrassnt or stupidity, its still all right. The phrase, shes my sister after all she had said, wouldnt have co out so warmly.

I must have been pathetic.

Because of Violas performance, she already proved her talent as an absolute person. Thats why her words sounded so warm. Even if its the sa word, it sounds completely different depending on who does it.

Viola pushed the wheelchair.

So, wheres the real Terra rchant?

Hera had a conversation with Viola. During the conversation, there was a particularly interesting part.

Viola said, Of course, money is the best.

Money?

People need money. Money can call even ghosts.

No hesitation.

Hera burst into laughter.

Viola, you have beco the Princess of the Duke.

I know.

So, can you not use such vulgar language? Like, Money is the best?

You dont like money, sister?

She couldnt not like it. Hera succeeded greatly based on her resourcefulness and craftsmanship, which later beca an enormous rchant network.

Viola knew that fact very well about Hera.

[ Ive been thinking since I was a child.

Why cant we nobles say that money is good?

Whats the use of decency and appearance anyway? ]

Hera answered honestly.

No, money is good.

Then, youre also vulgar, arent you?

Maybe?

At her words, Hera had a subtle smile around her mouth. She concluded, Youre very unique.

I know.

There must be a lot of crazy people in this world. Still, theres no one more unusual than a transmigrated one.

That was what Viola really thought.

Do you know why noblen dont tell others they like money?

Why?

Because theyre full pigs. They never felt hungry, so they are just pretending to be prim and proper.

At that very mont, Hera then bursts into laughter with a kik! sound.

Viola felt as if she had a ray of light in her mind. This setting still existed in the original story

When she talked to soone she really liked, she laughed out loud with a kik!

She felt a little relaxed and recalled such a fact. Hera has finally now opened the door to her heart.

Viola grinned without anyone knowing.

There we go.

This sister She is definitely going to be on her side now. So, Viola decided to adapt what Hera said in the original book and drop a carpet bombing for her.

Here we go, rich wannabe drear sister! There was also this in the novel.

The idea of wanting to make money is an outdated way of thinking.

If you want to make money, youll talk vulgarly.

Dont you think youre vulgar?

Well, money is precious.

Han Arin, who has lived in Korean capitalist society, knows better. Money is important.

Having money doesnt make you happy, does it?

Thats right.

The sa was true for Viola. She beca an adopted daughter, who would be sadder in this worldview. However, she couldnt just be happy.

A death rivalry with her siblings.

The male lead got kidnapped.

Got threatened by masked n.

Even with money, you can be unhappy. However, you know what its like to have no money?

How is it?

Everything is unfortunate. Even the lack of money is unfortunate. Its better to have money and be unfortunate than to have no money.

Hera burst into loud laughter with a kik! again.

Thats not what a noble lady would say. As a matter of fact, a noble lady should be able to endure even misfortune and feel the sweetness of hardship.

Hardship is still hardship. How do you even turn hardship into sothing sweet?

You make it through ntal discipline and strong will.

Hm. Who said that?

Everyone does.

You are out of your mind.

Also, poverty is not the standard of happiness.

Viola grinned.

Have you starved before?

You must not have starved because you are a noble, right.

Heras face is full of smiles. It was fun talking to Viola. There was no unique feeling of nobility, and it ca very fresh to her.

Viola continued without hesitation.

What do you call that?

What are you even saying?

B*stards.

She lifted herself up and did not intend to be sothing she wasnt That is the essential energy of the character Violathe energy that eats up life.

Ill kill all those dogs, sister.

Just in ti, Xenon posted a report.

I killed them all.

.

Viola did not reply.

She felt uncomfortable and scared, though she could never let it show on her face. It looked to Hera that murder was nothing. Instead, she looked like a Verratoux Princess who was rather accustod to murder.

Its been a little while passed.

Eventually, they arrived in front of a buildingthe big building on the corner of the crossroads of seasons.

Viola was stunned inside.

Not a rich wannabe drear

It wasnt just a dream. Hera is already rich

Is this Is this your building, sister?
