TL: Zimming

The maids looked at each other with puzzled expressions and blinked a few times. Soon Dahlia, the oldest out of the three maids, bowed her head.

Do you need something, little miss?

Please order us.

Linda, Yuni, and Laura answered after Dahlia.

Good, so can you go and start terror attacks?

To Miss Elizabeth Nodelli?

Laura answered in surprise, and I shook my head gently and said,

No, to the nobles.

Huh?

If we start with Elizabeth, of course theyll know that we targeted Nodelli. I want to avoid an all-out war as much as possible. Thats why Im trying to destroy the Marquis of Nodelli by using Elizabeth.

The emperor cant be happy with the quarrels of the nobles, so hell propose a war. After the Marquis of Nodelli, the Duke of Marche and the nobles will be anxious no matter what the result of the war is, theyll think maybe we will be next.Hell want to avoid aristocrats colluding with each other. So, Nodelli should move as secretly as possible.

But I dont intend to leave the Marquis of Nodelli alone in the meantime!

Then what should we do?

Linda, the wisest of her maids, narrowed her eyes.

not to the dukes attacker, but to the nobles?

Yes.

I stood up and looked at the maids.

Go and destroy every carriage of the nobles. So that the Emperor can find a suspect who was after my father.

Well take the order.

The maids grabbed the skirt and bent their knees lightly.

Suicide terrorists? Dont be ridiculous.

I have a group of wanted people!

And a few weeks later.

The Marquis of Shuheil was attacked today, wasnt he?

They were after Count Wiltro last time. What in the world is going on.

As I was walking in the hallway, I listened to the servants gossip and raised my lips.

I wanted to roll down the hall and burst into a pleasant laughter.

Good job, good job!

The maids were truly competent.

Linda, a former embezzler, was in charge of the plan with Yuni, a former loan shark, and Dahlia, a serial killer who had never been caught while killing about a hundred rapists.

Of course, the city is in chaos. The nobles avoided going out for fear of being attacked, and the imperial family visited my father, the first victim of the incident, to find the terrorist.

Even though I havent seen Marquis, I know what hell be like right now.

He must be shaking in fear right now!

I hugged a book and ran as I hummed.

I opened my dads door and went in.

Can I come in?

When Dad nodded, Nos smiled and opened the door.

I pulled a chair and sat next to my dad. I opened the book and various herbs and ointments.

Recently, my hobby was to apply good medicine and herbs to my dad.

I gently applied ointment to my fathers arm while concentrating. Nos laughed loudly.

Because little miss is so eager, Im sure itll heal quickly.

Thats right, Dads arm is much better, right?

I raised my chin and said that.

My dad laughed and lightly patted my hair. My aunt, who was next to me, also smiled.

When you first came to apply the medicine, you cried so much.

Please forget about that!

Last weeks dark history came to mind.

I came to his room when the doctor was checking him while he was working. I was very surprised because the wound was deeper than expected.

That was the day I cast a spell.

I lack divine power so I couldnt think like an adult.

Yes, thats it. I cried because I was surprised by the wound like a real kid.

Dad, take the medicinehuaaaaSir David (medical director) said it was a good medicine huaaa!!

My family shook their shoulders with their heads turned when they saw me crying.

Whats so funny? Bad people! My dad got hurt huaaa!

Recalling the shameful memory, I became red and shook my head.

I thought you were all grown up, but youre still young.

My aunt made fun of me, so I coughed in vain and turned around.

Aunt.

Yes.

Can I hold a party at the mansion?

At this time?

The chairman said it was necessary because it was at this time. I can show them that Dubbled doesnt care even if were attacked.

My aunt said, Hmm and touched her chin.

Will the nobles allow their kids to attend?

I have an idea for that. If the party is a big hit, itll be good for us.

Well. Do whatever you want. You dont have to ask me.

I answered cheerfully, Yes!

Well, now I need to get help.

I glanced at Henry and Isaac sitting on the couch in my dads office. When I looked at them, they looked like they were asking what was going on.

Busy?

Im busy swearing.

Whats wrong with the partyugh!

Isaac, who was muttering , suddenly hugged his feet and looked at Henry.

Why did you step on-

Henry closed Isaacs mouth and smiled.

I have time to help you with the party, Leblaine.

Isaac rolled his eyes and quickly understand.

Yes, I have that much time. Theres no big brother, but we could help.

I dont know why he suddenly changed his mind, but it was a good thing for me.

I smiled broadly and said, Thank you! as I shook my brothers hands.

***

Elizabeth frowned as she saw the invitation on the smiling childrens hands.

Miss Dubbled is really thoughtless.

What? Why?

Party at a time like this. My mother says no one would attend. Its hard to get an invitation from a duke, but its hard for parents to let their children go at a dangerous time.

The young children laughed awkwardly as Elizabeth grumbled.

There may be such an interpretation, but Elizabeth, who calls them into the mansion every day, was not saying anything.

A lady with freckles and cheerful face said,

But she said shed send an escort to the mansion!

Isnt it reassuring to have Dubbleds escort?

Huh, really? Wouldnt the escort protect Duke Dubbled first?

She said that the three brothers of Dubbled are the ones coming by to escort.

The young ladies blushed.

Usually, relatives of the host come to the mansion to escort the VIPs, but the escort of the Dubbleds children was unprecedented.

Only few parents found it uncomfortable because it was an act of sincerity.

Dubbleds three children were sought after because they were not engaged yet.

Id like to have Henry come.

For me Isaac.

Will Johann come?

Elizabeths hand flinched.

Johann is escorting other ladies?

Her face was distorted all at once.

Bad girl!

Johann must be so busy managing this and that because his father was attacked, shes putting a lot of pressure on him. She was really a thoughtless little girl.

She must have cried and complained. Sweet Johann must have had no choice but to listen to her request.

Otherwise, the decent Johann would not escort another lady other than me.

Elizabeth clenched her fist.

I didnt even get an invitation!

The thought of Johann holding the other ladys hand made blood rush to the top of her head.

I dont think the partys going to be very fun. Come on, lets just hang out in my greenhouse. Her majesty the empress gave me a sika deer as a gift. Let me show you how cute they are!

The ladies who usually say yes to Elizabeths every suggestion, did not answer as if they were in trouble.

Just how great is Dubbleds party?

Well, there are three children who are more beautiful than her deer in the greenhouse.

Handsome guys are fun to look at, so the party cant be boring.

Shall we go to the palace together? The palace is really safe! If you go with me, you can see the emperor. Her Majesty is so sweet to me. She always called me cute Elizabeth.

.

Yes? Everyone!

However, the young children did not answer and went back.

Elizabeth was in tears. There has never been a time when people do not comply with her request. Until the little girl came to the city!

Shes bad. Lady Dubbleds a bad girl.

Elizabeth?

Mother.

Elizabeth burst into tears as she saw her mother in the greenhouse.

Princess Ingrid was surprised to see her daughter burst into tears when she saw her.

Whats going on?

Lady Dubbled is a bad girl! Shes having a party at this time! Shes not considerate, right? Shes bad, isnt she? She might endanger my friends. And to meshe didnt even send me an invitation!

Shouldnt she send her an invitation first? The emperor and empress loves her so much. Shes the most precious child in the country.

I see. You must have been upset.

The prideful child must be hurt.

Princess Ingrid, who was stroking her daughters back, sighed.

After she cried to sleep, Princess Ingrid headed to her husbands office.

Marquis Nodelli, who was nervously throwing papers, frowned at his wife who came into the room without knocking.

Whats the matter?

Elizabeth was upset that she didnt get an invitation to Dubbleds party.

So?

I want you to get her an invitation.

The Marquis of Nodellis expression changed.

You came here to say that?! Im already busy with the attacks!

The attack on the Duke of Dubbled became an attack to the nobles. The nobles resentment was hitting the sky, and the palace was desperately looking for a suspect in the incident.

Princess Ingrid narrowed her eyes.

Thats enough! Im a fool to ask you. Ill ask my mother instead.

Dont think about sending my daughter to Dubbleds! My daughters going to a house where she could be teared to death!

Princess Ingrid left the room without an answer,

As expected, this marriage was the wrong choice.

She couldnt forget the Duke of Dubbled even after he got married. She knew he had a wife, but she couldnt control her heart, so she visited him.

She needed to make a choice.

However, she was bitterly rejected, and the disappointed Princess Ingrid chose the Marquis of Nodelli.

Ahh, Theodore.

Princess Ingrid, holding a hidden picture of Duke Dubbled in her arms, sighed.

***

I smiled when I saw a letter from the empress dowager.

[Send an invitation of your party to my granddaughter. Shes a lovely child, so she can be a good friend.]

Zachary frowned.

Anyway the empress. to even ask for this kind of request knowing your relationship

Well, whats important is-

I grinned and looked at the pre-written invitation.

-Elizabeth took the bait.

Yes, Miss Dubbled! I said Johanns name in front of the lady. She was so angry!

I smiled cynically looking at the portraits of Princess Ingrid and Elizabeth.

They attacked my family, so its worth the trouble, right?
