Chapter 93
TL: Zimming
All eyes were on the Duchess of Vallua.
“W- we, uh……”
The Duchess was muttering with a pale face as she couldn’t find any excuse. She grabbed her son’s wrist and went out quickly.
Niel, who was being taken away by the Duchess, stared at as if he would tear to death, but I only waved my hands to him.

“My na is Michaela George. I’m still lacking much but I educate the children.”
“My na is Candida Dimonte. When I was young, I worked as a maid for the Empress.”
Those famous godmothers surrounded and introduced themselves.
They all looked at with glistening eyes as if they were expecting sothing.
I am also Dubbled’s child even though I am adopted. I was even given the Duchess na as my middle na.
Also the Empress was interested in since the Luminous dicine incident.
Moreover, I corrected Niel back then. It naturally made my value soared.
I grinned as I tried not to express my burden.
‘I should keep it a secret that I could read ancient language.’
It’s already crowded, it’ll be even more annoying when that fact is revealed.
A loud voice ca from the door when I was distressed by the ladies.
‘Camilla has arrived!’
The people gathered in twos and threes stepped back and bowed their heads.
I went near my aunt, bowed a little and saw Camilla.
I saw her in my previous lives but I still feel great seeing her. She always acts elegantly and never wasted any movent.
The host, Countess Walt, approached her with a smile.
“You ca here. It’s an honour for us.”
“It’s a good party. I can feel you are ticulous in handling it.”
“I’m glad to hear that.”
Camilla looked around and said,
“It’s a great party, so let’s all enjoy it.”
Only then did the people with their hands on their chests and their backs bent went on their ways.
The noise returned to the party.
Camilla settled herself on a chair.
There aren’t many seats, but she sat at a good place.
‘As expected of the number one socialite.’
They all acted completely different from the Empress’ party last ti.
They have factions, but they restrain the fighting.
The people enjoyed the party freely, but they didn’t forget the rules.
‘There are still a lot of people who want to ask her to be their godmother.’
She was surrounded by young ladies and their parents.
Camilla was very benevolent, she treated everyone fairly. She didn’t even beco a godmother to anyone.
Suddenly,
“Lady Dubbled.”
I was startled to see her staring at .
‘Huh?’
I didn’t think she’d call in such a public space.
When I glanced at my aunt, she nodded and I headed to Camilla.
“I greet you.”
“Sit down here.”
Then she told the crowd around her.
“Can everyone leave us? I need to talk about sothing with the lady.”
It was needless to say that people were surprised. While stepping back, everyone glanced at this side with a curious expression.
“It’s been a few days.”
“Yes.”
“What have you been doing?”
“I took a walk and read books.”
“Is it a book with the passage you told last ti?”
“Yes! It’s my favorite book.”
“I’m thankful.”
Then she looked at with gentle eyes.
“I want to give a present to you. I was wondering what kids would like the most these days, but I decided to give you what you want instead. Is there anything you want?”
She asked .
“A gift for ?”
“Yes, I’m grateful for the lady. Thanks to you, I could find soone precious.”
She seems to have decided to accept Leticia and Lionel.
‘She will soon officially be the Grand Duchess and the Duke’s child.’
I didn’t say anything and smiled.
“Don’t you wonder who’s so precious? You must be curious.”
“You’re very wise, so I trust your intention. If you don’t tell the details then I don’t think I should hear it.”
Her eyes, which treated like a child, changed.
“Lady is very clever.”
“I’m flattered.”
“No, you’re really clever. I an it.”
She stared at . I didn’t avoid her gaze.
“I appreciate your words, but I don’t think I am clever.”
“What do you want and need?”
“If it’s necessary…”
I pretended to think.
“Wait, but that’s sothing you can’t give .”
“Aren’t you underestimating ?”
She asked playfully. I said firmly.
“You can’t give people.”
“People? Do you need people? You already have so much of them. Your capable father, outstanding brothers and aunt who is the most popular. I heard that a lot of talented people are around you.”
“What I need is soone who can teach . Dad said that. I’m Lady of Dubbled, so I’ll have to act like it. But I’m still young, so I don’t know anything.”
“……you want a godmother?”
“But my family can’t do that. I need soone to be my second mother.”
“……”
“I really need soone who I can trust and follow like a mother.”
“I see. You’re right.”
Then, a chocolate fountain ca in. It was a gift from the party organizer to the children.
As I stared at the children running excitedly, I felt dizzy.
‘I’m gonna be excited too!’
I thought so and shouted, “Wow!”
“Go and see.”
At the words of Camilla, I got up and went to the chocolate fountain.
As I walked, I felt Camilla looking at my back.
While I was looking at the reflection on the fountain, Camilla beckoned her maid and looked at .
‘Dubbled…find out…how far her education is.’
After barely reading the shape of the mouth reflected in the fountain, I moved the biscuit to the bowl and smiled.
It seed that there was not much ti left for to have a godmother.
***
‘And as expected!’
I looked out to the window in the carriage.
Camilla invited for dinner. It was surprising and many people were shocked.
My family was discussing the invitation when I said,
“I want to go!”
Dad finally decided to send there.
“If you don’t sit properly, you’ll get hurt.”
…with Johann.
I answered, “Yes…” and straightened out my posture.
The n dressed in neat uniforms greeted us after we got off the carriage.
“I greet the children of Dubbled.”
We followed their guide into the room.
Johann waited in the reception room as I headed to the room next to it.
“Call as soon as they make you feel uncomfortable.”
Johann whispered after I nodded and went into the room.
“She’ll be here soon, so please wait patiently.”
After the butler left the room, I sat down carefully on the sofa.
“Yes.”
‘This is a VIP reception room where the Camilla
invites only a few people.’
“Wow…”
I looked around the room while admiring it.
It’s not super luxurious, but…
The room looks good. It was decorated with old ornants but it looks elegant.
There was a terrace attached to the room, where sunlight poured through a large window and there were a lot of green trees and flowers outside.
‘Huh? Is that a Haro flower?’
I scread inwardly at the sight of the flower.
It’s the flower that made ill last ti.
I went to the terrace to make sure that it was really a Haro flower, and if I am right, I will close the window.
After I put my hands on the window,
I could hear a voice calling soone from afar.
“….where are you!”
“….rince.”
“Prince Adrian!”
Thud!
I heard soone fall on the floor.
I turned my head in surprise.
“You…”
“……!”
The cool breeze scattered his blonde hair.
‘Adrian!’
I was so surprised as he opened his mouth,
“Isaac, why…”
As soon as he was muttering sothing,
I heard a squeak of hinges from the window of the room next door.
‘Johann’s in the room next door!’
I quickly pulled him and hid behind the curtain. And I caught Adrian’s wrist quickly and made him bend his knee.
If I could, I felt like stuffing him into my pocket.
My heart was pounding.
Adrian and Johann were naturally enemies. It was the biggest opportunity to put blades in each other’s throats.
I slipped my head out of the curtain, wondering if Johann had opened the door.
But all I can see is the servant’s uniform.
‘The butler must have opened the door.’
I sighed, and looked straight ahead.
His eyes were staring at from a close distance.
