TL: Zimming

I gazed at three tiny stones. It contained the souls that Pymon gave me.

Which one is the best?

In case of a possible war, should I choose the strategist?

But then the other two are also as capable to help me.

I groaned on the desk.

There were only six souls who can be used as power. I couldnt spend my chances recklessly.

I heard a knock while I was thinking about it.

Little miss.

My maids peeped into the door and waved something in both hands.

Its bread.

Heres a fruit.

Its a pudding.

Im not hungry though?

They came in and said,

You havent been eating snacks lately.

I brought your favorite snacks.

Look, mines especially delicious.

Originally, my snack time was a small tea party with my family.

Usually, my family always called me to have a snack together. But recently, everyone was busy, so we didnt have time to drink tea together, so we missed the snack time.

The maids bear good intentions so I nodded.

Yes, Ill eat it.

Would you like to eat it in the garden?

Spring has come and the place is completely warm.

The gardeners planted a lot of your favorite violets.

Okay.

I followed the maids to the garden, leaving the stones with soul in the drawer.

Sitting here in the garden and eating my favorite snacks made me feel good.

The maids gave me a lot of things I like.

So the patissier

Isaac, look at this!

I could hear Mireilles voice from afar.

As I turned my head, I could see Isaac walking with a frown and Mireille chasing him. There was a wooden sword in Mireilles hand.

Mireille, youre already good at swinging. Didnt Nos compliment you too? I told you not to come after me.

Then my eyes met with Isaacs who was hitting Mireilles forehead as she clung into his waist.

Kid!

He came towards me with a big smile.

What are you doing here?

Eating snacks. These are from the maids. Bread, fruit and pudding.

Then the maids smiled happily as I boasted their snacks.

Isaac put a piece of orange in his mouth and as he put his chin on his arms.

So its already been a few days since weve had snacks together, becausevof that thing.

He grumbled as he stared at Mireille.

The reason Isaac was busy recently was because of Mireille.

Among the brothers, Mireille was the most comfortable with him. So she chased him everyday.

As Mireille put her hand on her waist and was angry, Isaac sighed out loud and rubbed his forehead.

Im dying, really.

Meanwhile, Mireille swung the wooden sword as she bumped into a pillar and fell down.

Please go. Okay? Henrys in the library, so go ask him to play.

Henry asks me to play with you.

Now that I see it, Isaac has grown a lot.

Now he had the average height of an adult male.

He will grow more in the future, but I realize hes much bigger than when I first saw him.

Somehow it was so touching that I smiled.

Why are you smiling like that?

Isaac, youve grown a lot.

What?

While I was smiling, he pinched my cheeks.

It huwts! (It hurts!)

What does a kid who cant even hold a sword yet knows?

I know how to.

I learned everything from the knights.

Try it then.

After that, Mireille got sulky.

I wont lend my sword.

If you lend me your wooden sword, Ill take care of you next time, child.

Ck

Tears quickly filled Mireilles big eyes. She cried and pouted her lips.

Oh my god, again?!

I hate Isaac. You only care about your sister and dont play with Mireille.

Because youre always bothering me.

Mireille burst into tears. The maids were so shocked but they quickly soothed her.

Mireille didnt stop crying. When I was about to soothe her, I could hear someone calling her.

Lady!

Turns out, Mireille fainted.

***

Mireille was rushed into her room for treatment. After the doctor checked her, my father asked.

Whats her condition?.

Nothing is wrong. She must have been under stress. Make sure to take good care of her.

Just in time, Mireille opened her eyes. After looking around, the child was ready to burst into tears again.

Dont cry, lady.

Lea stroked the childs cheek as Mireille embraced Lea and cried.

I miss my mom

Should I call her?

My real mom

At that moment, the atmosphere became cold.

The servants were scared and looked at dads reaction. Dad and brothers who were looking at Mireille also didnt know what to say.

If I had a mother, she would have scolded Isaac. And play with Mireille.

Lady

My dad is busy and my brothers only like my sister. Mireille is all alone. I miss my mom

After that, people started treating Mireille preciously.

They felt pity because she never received her real mothers touch.

Isaac, Henry and dad couldnt avoid Mireille and went into Mireilles room.

A few days later, After writing a letter to Veronica, I called the maids.

My room is connected to the room where my exclusive maids Dahlia, Linda and Yuni were located, but no one came.

Its strange.

The three were usually so meticulous that one should be left in the room in case I called them. It was the first time that they did not come right away.

I waited for a long time, but they didnt come so I headed out of the room. I grabbed a servant who was passing by and asked.

Have you seen Dahlia, Linda, Yuni?

Theyre in ladys room.

All three of them?

For what?

I headed to Mireilles room. I was going to knock, but the door was already half opened, so I could see everything inside.

So cant the three of you be Mireilles servants?

But

Were taking care of the little miss

Thats right

Lea and the maids had a troubled look in front of Mireille.

Mireille had a face full of tears and clung to Leas arm.

Lea

Lady, all three have been with her for a long time. If you say you wanted them, itll be a problem for everyone, and its rude to the little miss .

But Mireille wanted them! Last time when Mireille cried in the garden, they comforted me kindly. I dont want any maids unless its them!

As she began to whine in earnest, Lea sighed. Then she looked at three people.

You can answer later. Please decide soon.

Even among Dubbleds servants who had criminal careers, the three were exceptionally guilty.

All of them became senior employees who served the VIPs because of Leas support. They benefited greatly because of Lea.

To them, Lea was a benefactor and couldnt refuse her.

Yuni, who bit her lips tightly between Linda and Dahlia, said, But !

Then, tears fell from Mireilles eyes.

Lea hurriedly hugged Mireille.

And I opened the door.

I heard you because the door was open.

When I said that, Lea and the maids didnt know what to do.

Dont take them away. Dahlia, Linda, and Yuni are the only ones I had.

Little miss, please

Dont.

My words surprised everyone in the room.

I looked at Mireille. She gave more strength to Leas hug.

If you want to take my maids, go ask them. Dont make Lea do anything difficult.

So

Sister, you dont like Mireille, dont you?

Since my sister is close to all of the servants, you can have other maids. But because you hated Mireille, you dont want to give a maid to this lonely Mireille.

The child stared at me. Lea panicked and said Lady! but Mireille continued.

Sister hates Mireille. Thats why you keep stealing my brothers. Why do you hate me when I want to be close to you?

Do you really want to be a family with me?

Of course!

But why do you think Im taking your brothers away?

huh?

I spoke without avoiding her gaze.

Why is it that when Im with my brothers, as a family, you said Im taking them away?

Thatthat!

Is it because you hate me that you think Im taking your brothers away?

No!

It was then.

Child!

A woman came in and said with a familiar voice.

It was Javelin, she came here when she heard about the child.

Javelin hugged Mireille, who had fallen down.

Whats going on? Whats wrong with her condition?

Lea murmured with a bewildered tone.

Shes vulnerable to stress

Who gave this kid enough stress to faint like this?

Javelin ask everyone present.
