No. 355
I hurriedly looked around.
‘Whenever I go back, I always wake up in the Empress Dowager’s room, but this is……'
Through the window in an unfamiliar room, I saw a familiar landscape.
A garden that cannot be known without knowing it.
It was the garden of Dubbleed Castle, where I was looking for carnations.
‘But there is no room like this in the castle.’
There was no room like this in the East and West Buildings of the castle.
Reina grabbed me, who was crouching, and woke me up.
“Why was my girl so scared? Did she have a nightmare?”
She rested her forehead on my head and lightly waved my hand with the tips of her index and thumb.
There was another strange thing besides the room.
Dubbleed's employees were all meticulous and capable, but they weren't as good at caring for children.
Even so, considering the past of Leah, Dahlia, Linda, and Yuni, who were always attached to me, it was not an environment where they could easily meet children.
The older brothers grew up so quickly, and while the predecessors were alive, the employees took care of them, and his father ousted the ancestors and sacked all the employees involved.
So, there were no employees who were accustomed to childcare.
But Reina was very used to take care a child. She was flawless in how to hug, how to grow up.
It doesn't even feel rough at all, which is typical of Dubbleed's employees, so it's reassuring just to be hugged.
I exhaled a sigh of relief and leaned my head in her arms.
“Nanny.”
A knock was heard and the maids entered.
They were Linda and the others employees.
‘This is the West Building, but are there any employees in the East Building?’
Even when I was young, the East and West Buildings were completely separated.
The East Building is a place for the secretariat, administrative organizations, convention halls, and reception of external guests, while the West Building is a space exclusively for the Dubbleed family.
The West Building is made up of the most outstanding people because it serves the owner directly. In addition, in order to prepare for the spy, a condition was attached that 'Should have lived in Dubbleed since three generations ago (the great-grandparents)'.
In terms of aristocrats, it is a place where only the nobles with deep bones gather.
So, the employees of the West Building had a high sense of humor, and the East Building was considered a place for outsiders who could not make a career out of it.
‘But the West Building was not easily accessible by the employees of the East Building, so why?’
“The meal is ready.”
Reina looked at me and said, “Shall we go?”
She asked me, and I squirmed in her arms.
The meal was good.
Perhaps it wasn't just the body that seemed to have gotten younger, but when I was hungry, the accident was becoming childish.
I struggled as I left the room in Reina's arms.
‘I'm really back, what?’
If I return, why is it different from before?
How is Reina alive?
Why did the Dubbleed last name change?
As we approached the dining room door, the guards opened it.
A huge door decorated with ivory opened, revealing a familiar table. And……
"Good morning."
I stared at the woman who stiffened and reached out her hand towards me.
"Huh?"
“You seem to have had a nightmare. You haven't been feeling well since you woke up."
"Yes? What kind of terrifying dream did LeBlaine have?”
She and Reina chuckled. The other brothers sitting at the table ran towards me.
“Baby, did you have a scary dream?”
"Go away. The nanny told me not to catch her like that.”
“Come here, LeBlane.”
“No, come to me, not the older brother.”
Ishaq, Henry and John reached out to me.
The woman said, “Sleep.” She hugged me and curled up her children.
I stared blankly at her and murmured.
“Omma…… (Mom…….)"
She smiled roundly.
"Yes."
A landscape where I was drawn even in my dreams.
Dad came in through the open door. He looked at me in my mother's arms and asked.
"What's going on, Ressette?"
I realized,
The vain god became futile, and the time that was left after the God disappeared and returned to the place where it was supposed to go.
The place I arrived at was a past where Neriad did not exist.
* * *
“Let go when I say something nice.”
“Let me go!”
Puck!
Ishak kicked a calf by Henry, wow! He screamed.
“My little brother is hitting me! Aww, Mom!”
"Noisy."
As Ishak and Henry quarreled, my mother who had me seated on the table shouted.
“You bastards, I said that if you fight again, you’ll hang up naked, but you didn’t!”
I looked at my mother, who was screaming in surprise.
'Wow……'
My mother used to be like this. She said she had introduced herself as the mad dog of Quantum.
Henry and Ishaq flinched at their mother's scolding. The two pouted their mouths.
‘When my mother is there, my brothers are like ordinary children.’
In her future without her mother, she had become terribly cold to defend herself.
Reina casually put a hair band on me as she was familiar with this daily life.
Mom turned to me and muttered with her hardened face.
"Oh my God……”
Reina also nodded her head with a serious expression.
“The angel is clear.”
“I gave birth to an angel.”
Mom moaned as she rubbed her face against my cheek with a very excited look.
“Aaah, maybe my LeBlaine is cute too.”
“Omma, I'm bummed…… (Mom, I feel uncomfortable….)”
"Iced coffee! My angel!"
Mom, you were like this...…
I like the habit of my future Leah and my dad every time they see me: “If your mom had seen you, her last name would have been upside down.” I realized why she was talking.
My mom, who grabbed my waist and raised me, laughed.
“Having a daughter is fun!”
The maids also sang hurrahs in sympathy.
“It’s fun to raise a girl!”
It was a part that showed how hard it was to raise my brothers.
John, who was sitting across from me reading a book, sighed.
“Mother, it’s dangerous.”
John took me from my mother and put me in his chair.
My mother was very sad, but just in time the administrators came to find her.
“It’s audience time.”
Audience?
As I stared at what it was, Ishak approached me and poked my cheek and said.
“I’m listening to the situation of people in the territory.”
“Are you tired of what are they talking about? (Those people want to talk?)”
"Then, our mother said she was violent, but she was the good lord's wife."
When their mother was not present, Dubbled's people in the territory were afraid of the owner's family. Occasionally, when Dad went to inspect the estate, no one lay flat on the ground and raised their head.
Come to think of it, there were more people coming and going to the castle than before. One with a bright expression.
Henry grabbed his mother's hand as she followed the magistrate out the door and asked her several times.
“Don’t get excited when you hear the complaints from people in the territory, mother.”
"Yes. I'll be careful."
“Please do not chase after jurisdiction.”
"Yes."
“There should be no more beating the vassal. Yes?"
“Because you know.”
“Don’t just say things like that.”
My mom smiled, pinching Henry's cheek slightly.
“Don’t worry, we’ll keep in mind what our cutie said. I was beaten up like that last time, but again, there are people who steal money from charity.”
“Even if there is, you shouldn’t be beaten down. You know what my father gave Chairman Nuanoke to settle the matter.”
“Nuanoke that bastard… One day I will rip off his hair.”
The chairman's hair?!
I was startled, and Henry shouted.
“Say something!”
Mom left the room with a cheerful smile.
My older brothers also left one by one for their education, and the teacher who came to pick them up was Theramore. The old man who abused Henry.
Henry followed Viscount Theramore with a nonchalant face, but I caught him in amazement.
“Bad installment payment!”
Then, Henry, Ishaq, and Johann looked at Theramore with fearful expressions in an instant.
A red aura fluttered from Henry's body.
“Viscount, did you do anything to my sister?”
“Oh, that can't be! How dare I gossip about the Lord family!”
“If you say that, why would the youngest child in the world, to be gentle, say something like this?”
“I’m sorry, Master!”
Theramore fell flat in front of Henry and almost prayed.
I looked at the scene and thought.
'Oh, I see.'
My mother is being properly monitored, so Theramore can't be bullshit.
Henry's old trauma seems to have been greatly alleviated because he has a mother.
Henry looked at Theramore with a questionable expression before leaving the room first.
“Where are you going, Master?”
“It’s definitely winning. I have to tell my father.”
“What... Master!?”
I looked at Theramore who was chasing Henry without knowing what to say.
A world without Neriad was so peaceful.
The heartwarmingly friendly scenery, the people without scars, and the beautiful world that was created.
It was such a perfect peace that I wanted to stay here forever.
“……”
I clenched my skirt tightly and shook my head to shake off my thoughts.
‘Let’s find Adrian.’
There must be a reason why my future mother told me to go here.
Adrian may be here.
I took a deep breath and walked out the door. Reina, who was cleaning out the greenhouse, said,
“Miss!”
She shouted,
“Where are you going?”
I was ok.
Even the castle of Dubbleed was dangerous for children. Especially since I was a ‘Child of Fate’. So Leah never wanted to leave me alone.
I groaned and rolled my eyes.
“Dyat…… (That…...)"
“You want to go for a walk? Are you back by snack time?”
"Huh?"
“Can I get you your coat? Isn't it hot?"
“Oh, no.”
Reina casually left me walking alone.
‘How safe is a world without the Temples?’
I walked down the hallway alone and tilted my head.
'Well…… Let’s go to a crowded place first.’
I need to find out what's going on here.
I ran down the hallway and ran out of the building. There were a lot of people coming and going as the garden construction was in the progress.
Thank you for the update!!!
