The troublemaker daughter of the grand duke wants to live alone

will look after Mary in the future.”

It was the first time I had heard such a sweet and gentle voice, feeling awkward for some reason, I nodded slightly towards Bonita.

Then Bonita smiled kindly and made the blanket I was sitting on.

“Oh, look at my mind.
You must be hungry, so I’ll prepare a meal for you.”

Bonita disappeared and I took a deep breath.

I was nervous because I had never been alone with an adult like this since I was reincarnated.

I glanced around, alternately touching the ends of my hair with both hands.
It was a habit I usually did when I felt awkward.

‘Would hiding a thing or two here be enough to fund my business?’

Nod.

I’ll try to be as nice as I can to let their guard down, and then hide a few things.

By the way, someone changed my clothes…… The pajamas wrapped around my body made of light, white fabric felt as if I wasn’t wearing anything.

Hmmm, let’s start a business by making sleeping pajamas to wear in winter.
What was this fabric?

As I was deep in thought, Bonita entered the room with a tray slightly larger than the one she had brought earlier.

No, she wasn’t alone.

A man with orange hair as brilliant as the evening sunset was following Bonita.
When he saw that I was awake, he smiled brightly and approached me.

“Mary, you are awake!”

He smiled with his eyes closed, he had a pretty cute face with chubby cheeks under his eyes.

While Bonita was preparing the meal, the man knelt next to my bed and looked at me curiously.

Those eyes were burdensome, so I tried to avoid his gaze and focused on my fingertips holding the blanket, and the man suddenly burst into laughter.

“Wow, Grand Duke, he succeeded!”

“Lucas, the baby is surprised.”

“Bonita, look.
Such a cute little kitten in the Conler family.”

“……I guess she has a softer energy than other people.”

“But it’s funny that she is still stupid.”

“Lucas!”

‘Stupid…… ?’

Was he referring to me? When I looked at Lucas with an angry expression, Lucas laughed even louder and poked me in the cheek.

I was so startled by the sudden touch, I covered my cheek with my hands.

Ignoring my bewildered complexion, Lucas grinned and suddenly became serious and asked me.

“I brought Mary here from the orphanage with the Grand Duke, but you don’t remember it at all, do you?”

“……”

“What the hell…… How did you come up with that idea?”

Suddenly, Lucas asked me with a serious face.

He must have heard that I stole money from the director’s office.
Even if I was stupid I had nothing to say.

I turned my gaze away from Lucas and focused on my hand holding the blanket again.

What to say…… In fact, there was nothing to say.
To be honest, I was embarrassed to even say that I did this to give gold coins to the orphanage children.

‘What happened to Leo? The director……’

“You must be hungry, lady!”

As if noticing my troubles, Bonita clapped and changed the topic.

On the tray above my thighs there was a thick white plate of soup that looked warm.

I carefully refused Bonita’s offer to feed her, took the silver spoon next to me and carefully took a bite.

“I thought it would be difficult to chew, so I prepared soup, but will it suit your taste……”

“Tasty……!”

As the hot meat soup ran down my throat, my body shuddered.
The texture was very different from the oat porridge I had eaten so far.
As I trembled in admiration, Lucas and Bonita smiled sweetly.

“I’m glad you got it in your mouth.”

“This is the first time I’ve ever tasted something so delicious!”

“Before, when I kept talking to you, you didn’t say a word, but after you put food in your mouth, you talk.”

There is a saying that you don’t touch even dogs when they are eating.

When I glared at Lucas, he smiled again and nodded as if telling me to finish eating.

Now…… Since I had something to eat in front of me, I would be patient.
It was the first time I had seen food like this since I was reincarnated, so I even had tears in my eyes.
Soup can be so delicious…… !

“The sooner you get healthy, the more delicious food you will be able to eat.
The workmanship of the employees is quite good.”

“Lucas is right.
I think you’re too thin and you have to drink a lot.
I think you’re only seven years old.”

“I guessed…… How can you be so happy with just one soup? I’ll have to report it when the Grand Duke returns.”

Was the Grand Duke not in the mansion right now?

When I put the silver spoon in my mouth and looked at Lucas, Lucas stopped laughing again and said seriously.

“The Grand Duke will be back soon.
You might be confused, but I’ll explain everything then.
It is important to eat well and rest.”

The Grand Duke turned out to be my father.

Well, I knew a bit about it, but I guess…… How can I pretend I don’t know?

I will have to practice how to react to something I already know.

I sighed slightly and took another bite of the meat soup.

As expected, it’s really delicious……
