The Youngest Daughter of the Villainous Duke

“Wow····!” 

 

I also remembered coming to this world and experiencing festivals.

 

It was when I was in Count Semond, but I was given only one chance, so I went to the place where there’s a festival. 

 

But the adults were drunk, noisy, and there were so many people that I almost got lost. To make matters worse, I almost bumped into a carriage. 

 

Since then, I have never been to the festival  again.

 

“Lotty! It’s fun! Right!” 

 

“Oh! Wow!” 

 

The festival of the Capital was incredibly colorful and exciting. I’m holding hands with Camillean and Avelle and watching the circus between the crowds.

 

It is said that they did not even use magic, but dark blue-skinned people from northern countries fired fire from their mouths and threw knives to match the apples on a person’s head.

 

Is that all? They just flew in the air. Without any safety devices or magic! 

 

“Wow, wow,····!” 

 

I burst into cheers when I saw the human pyramid falling down one by one from the top floor.

 

When I was excited, I guess the brothers were excited too. However, as more and more people were gathering, I couldn’t see in front of me.

 

So I stepped up, and Carlyx suddenly grabbed me. 

 

“Oh, ah!” 

 

“As expected, you’re a bean. Can’t you see anything because you’re so small? It’s your birthday tomorrow, so I’ll make it special this time.”

 

Carlyx gave me a ride on his shoulder. My eyes widened in surprise.

 

Oh, but I gained some weight because I ate a lot these days. 

 

“You’re the smallest, but you’re a little taller than me. Aren’t I heavy?”

 

“Do I look that weak? Don’t worry about useless things and just finish watching.” 

 

“Ung!”

 

Even though you speak bluntly, you are kind at times like this. I pulled my neck all the way and watched the circus.

 

But soon, someone taller than Carlyx is blocking us. 

 

I was surprised to see Carlyx frown and try to kick him away from his front, so I covered his eyes with both hands. 

 

“You can’t do that!” 

 

“P, put your hands away!” 

 

“What? Can’t you see the front Lotty? Then, come here!”

 

Then this time, Camillean gave me a ride on his shoulder. Camillean was taller than Carlyx, but I still couldn’t see ahead. 

 

“Lotty, can you see well in front of you?” 

 

“uhm, no…” 

 

“Camillean is still not tall. Then this time… Do you want to come to me?”

 

Avelle gently recommended and reached out to me. Camelan’s lips immediately became pouty. 

 

Sorry, Milly. I want to see a circus. 

 

“Yeah, I want to go!” 

 

“That’s cheap, big brother!” 

 

“That’s right, that’s cheap.”

 

Camillean and Carlyx glared at Avelle together and grumbled. Avelle just laughs while giving me a ride on his shoulder.

 

“Hahaha. If you’re both upset, grow up quickly. Lotty, can you see it well?”

 

“I can see it very well!” 

 

Avelle was really unusually tall. Sitting on his shoulder, I can see all the adults’ heads!

 

“I, isn’t Lotty heavy?”

 

“Of course not. I can still stand firm even if there are five Lotty sitting up.”

 

“Wow, you’re so cool. It’s like Dad!” 

 

“Dad? That’s cool.” 

 

Avelle giggled pleasantly. 

 

After finishing the circus tour, I started going around to buy my present in earnest. 

 

The brothers seem to have brought their own money.

 

We went around all kinds of gift shops and swept all the things I liked. 

 

“From here to there, please put everything in a gift box.” 

 

“Yes, I got it!” 

  

“Oh, this and this. This, too! I don’t know. I’ll just buy everything!”

 

“Thank you!” 

 

As soon as we arrived at the dressing room, they bought all the dresses from the right end to the left. 

 

“Can we do it with one or two? Beans, pick whatever you like. Since it’s your birthday, I’ll buy you everything. If you can’t choose, just buy everything.” 

 

After entering the doll store, I bought all kinds of handmade cotton dolls or ceramic dolls.

 

“Lorel, will you get a certificate of transfer? Tell him I will pay enough money.” 

 

“Okay.” 

  

The scale is too big! 

 

“T, too many! It’s too big!”

 

“Yeah, it’s nice to have a lot and grow up, right Lotty? Tell me if there’s anything else you want. By the way, aren’t you lacking paint?”

 

“I already bought the paint for Lotty! Famous painters used it and I bought all kinds of paper! Oh, I didn’t buy any ornaments!” 

 

“I bought it, Camillean. Doesn’t this look good on the beans?” 

 

Carlyx carefully took a look at the pretty headdress that looked like a crown among the gift boxes.

 

Shouldn’t you look at that before you buy it? 

 

And none of the gifts they bought reflected my opinion. 

 

My brothers just walked by without much thought, and just looked at the store, and then they swiped things or bought the store themselves. 

 

I ignored the nobles’ spending too much.

 

I didn’t think you’d give me a gift, so I thought you’d buy it first and choose what you like. 

 

‘I, it’s burdensome… but it’s still good!’

 

Yeah, it’s good. 

 

I saw the servants chasing us with gift boxes stacked almost like towers behind our backs, and decided to just enjoy this situation.

 

It’s not like I’m doing something bad. 

 

“What else should we buy now?” 

  

After hearing Camillean’s bright words, I decided to think about it later.

 

While walking around the streets where festivals are in full swing to buy more gifts, there were talks about banquets starting today at the Imperial Palace.

 

Tomorrow we’re going to the imperial palace, and today we’re going to spend it with our family.

 

“By the way, my academy colleagues will come to the banquet.”

 

Camillean was so determined that he walked with me on his shoulder.

 

“Lotty, let me introduce my colleagues! I’ll let them know that my sister is a lot cuter than my dog’s sisters.” 

 

“It’s all good, but don’t bother Lotty, Camillean. Oh, I heard at first glance that the Duke of Elger was also coming that day.”

 

The Duke of Elger? 

 

My eyes were wide open because a name that was not familiar to my ears but was so familiar, at least in my memory, suddenly popped up.

 

Avelle said, putting the pink cotton candy in my hand that he had ordered to buy. 

 

“Did Confucius say he was a year younger than Lottie? He said he was going to come tomorrow, but maybe we could run into him.”

 

“Oh, I’m in trouble! Father didn’t like the Duke of Elger, right?” 

 

“He’s just not close to the three dukes of the Empire in the first place.”

 

“No. They just said they became estranged.”

 

3 Dukes. 

 

It has supported the Zert Empire since the beginning of its foundation and means three families that are still called pillars of the country. 

 

Wensgrey in the North. The southern city of Elger. And Bescoll of the West. 

 

In fact, the main characters of the original novel were also them.

 

The Wensgrey family is a villain. And Elger and Bescoll. 

 

‘The original female lead and the original male lead’s family······.’

 

Among them, the Elger family is the original male lead’s family. 

 

If I do well, I may face the original male lead tomorrow. Thinking like that, I was nervous for some reason.

  

“Uh, Confucius of Elger, what kind of person is he?”

 

First of all, I decided to get information about him. 

 

I think it would be okay if we get closer for the future.

 

“Are you curious about Confucius of Elger?” 

 

“Yeah! We can meet tomorrow. Who is he?” 

 

Avelle said with a smile. 

 

“Our Lotty seems to have a lot of questions about Confucius of Elger.” 

 

“Yes. Because we are the same duke, I want to be friends.” 

 

“Uh… hmm?”

 

He’s smiling, but it doesn’t look like he’s smiling. 

 

Oh, I think Avelle’s expression is weird.

 

“I want to be friends with Confucius of Elger·····.” 

 

I felt like I said something wrong. 

 

Avelle is still smiling but even Camillean has a serious face.

 

Carlyx doesn’t look much different from before, but is it my illusion that his eyes look sharper? 

 

At that time, Avelle spoke in an infinitely soft and calm voice. 

 

“Do you need to be close to Confucius from Elger?” 

 

“Woo, Woong?”

 

“I can have more fun with Lotty!”

 

Camillean shouted in a sulky voice. 

 

Starting with him, Avelle showed disappointment in earnest. 

 

“The Confucius of the Duke of Elger is still young. I don’t think it suits you.”

 

I heard you say that he and I are only a year apart. What is he talking about?

 

“A child is a child. How can you make them all your friends?”

 

Then, Carlyx added, who didn’t say much. What? You’re still a kid.…. 

 

“······Your friend, do you really need it?” 

  

At this point, I was able to see through their intentions. I guess he doesn’t want me to be interested in anyone other than my brothers.

 

Somehow, my brothers’ reactions felt interesting, so I deliberately pouted my lips and said. 

 

“But, you’re older than me, and you have friends but I only have one friend.” 

 

“One? Who was it?” 

 

“Ki— your Highness.”

 

Of course, he was not a human friend, but a terrifying friend.

 

I slightly looked at the brothers. 

 

I thought it was too provocative, but they began to wink at each other with quite solemn faces. 

 

Soon Avelle spoke seriously. 

 

“Then can we show you something so amazing that you don’t need friends?” 

 

“S, something amazing?”

 

“Okay! That’ll work. Millie oppa, can you show us something amazing!” 

 

I also thought I shouldn’t have brought it up, but I became a little curious about what was amazing. 

 

“Brothers do useless things again… Hey, beans. My eldest brother said he would show you something, aren’t you excited?” 

 

Even though he said that, Carlyx also walks faster than usual.

 

We escaped to the outskirts of the Island, where the festival was in full swing. Looking for the rarest place, I got there. 

 

In the outer corner leading to the forest, there was a large rock. 

 

As soon as I saw it, Avelle went in front of me. 

 

“Of course, Lotty. Watch carefully from now on. This rock is really big, right?”

 

“Yeah. It’s huge.” 

 

“Hahaha, how hard is this rock then?” 

 

“Uh… A lot, right?”

 

“Right? It’s really hard, so do you want to see who’s harder, brother or this rock?” 

 

I thought I knew what “amazing” he was talking about. 

 

You’re trying to show us your protection!

 

“I don’t know… Rock?” 

 

When I chose the rock on purpose, Avelle laughed jokingly and clenched his fist firmly. 

 

“Can you check what’s the answer?” 

 

It was not long before he shook his fist toward the big rock. 

 

Boom!

 

At the same time as the roar, the rock was shattered, and debris splattered in all directions.

 

There was no time to even see cracks in the rocks. 

 

I had already come down under Camillean’s shoulder, but thanks to Camillean and Carlyx taking me a little far away, debris did not splatter. 

 

“Lotty, what do you think?”

 

Avelle smiled broadly and shook his hands with an indifferent face.

 

Originally, it would have been normal if his hand had been broken, but he looked so fine. 

 

I couldn’t keep my mouth shut right now. I can’t believe you broke a rock as big as me with your bare hands! 

 

It was so amazing that pure admiration burst out. 

 

“Wow!”

 

I burst into exclamations one step later and began to clap. 

 

Avelle’s expression of embarrassment didn’t even come into my eyes properly. I shouted excitedly.

 

 “Oppa destroyed the rock! Wow! It was really big, but they all fell into pieces! It was really big! Wow!”

 

After hearing my praise bombing, Avelle’s face became redder.
