The Troublemaker Daughter of the Grand Duke Wants To Live Alone

It is said that life is about school ties, blood ties, and delay.

Just in case, I thought I needed some kind of insurance, and I needed to be nice to Astina, who would become the crown princess later. Who knows the Queen of Britina Empire might help me when I go abroad and do business later?

There are the Britina and Larvian empires in the Kaya continent. The two empires were divided by the Lorque mountain. Even though they were both empires, it was not on the same level. Because the Britina Empire has much more military and national power.

And they also have “Conler”.

Astina was adopted by the age of eight by the Marquis of Borneo in the Britina Empire. Before she was adopted like that, she stayed in the same orphanage, she was badly bullied by Mary and her group. No matter how old she was, she was pretty mean. 

The reason for bothering Astina like that was ridiculous. The reason was that Astina is the only one who acted nice and noble in the orphanage.

Well, if I take Mary’s side, it would have been because of her inferiority complex toward Astina, who is shining here.

But no, I don’t want to take her side. I’d rather follow Astina than bully her like that.

Hmm, would the Second Prince send me somewhere for following his lover?

Am I destined to be sent away one way or the other?

Now, if only the second prince loved Astina, she could not be called a true ‘heroine in this area’.

The marquis, the marquis’ wife, the marquis’ eldest son, and even the employees in the Marquis of Borneo were all fascinated by her bright beauty.

Even Mary’s biological brothers, the cold-blooded three brothers of the Britina Empire, fell in love with her thanks to her heroine buff, and said they would rather have Astina be their sister if she were from the same orphanage.

Then, her second brother became the second male lead. It’s quite funny that he fell in love with her after saying she wanted her to be his sister. 

In fact, most of the big guys in the novel had a crush or affection for Astina. It was a completely different position from Mary, who was a nuisance and shame to the Grand duchy.

When I read the novel, I thought, “What kind of reverse harem setting is this ridiculous?” but I thought it was reasonable after seeing Astina in person.

Blond, honey-like hair, and the best emerald jewelry eyes that felt like they were created by the best craftsman.

Is your father a thief? Your eyes are so beautiful that I thought they stole a jewel and put it in your eyes. If I were a man, I would comment something like that. 

She’s so beautiful and she has a nice personality too.

“Let’s be good to each other.”

This one child brings all the connections of the Britina Empire. It’s not my connection, but a gold chain.

“Well, Astina.”

“Oh? Oh, Mary…….”

Astina crouched her little shoulder as soon as I called her name. Maybe it’s because of the colorful records of bothering Astina before I regained my memories of my past life. Once the memories of my past life were recovered, the memories of the past were ridiculously blurred.

Looking back on the story of the novel that remains in the memory of my past life, I can only gauge that Mary bothered Astina very much in her childhood.

A lot of bullying disguised as grumpiness.

To be honest, Mary is as cute and pretty as Astina.

Her glossy black hair and her eyes that seem to contain the dark night sky are curses passed down on the Duke of Conler. 

And like me in my past life…… Cat’s eyes.

‘Honestly, I look gloomy…….’

If she ate even the large intestine in this dungeon full of evil, how cruel Mary would have been.

Even when I regained the memory of my past life in the first place, I was fighting one-on-one against a boy to prove it.

I was continuing to train because I thought it would help me later. I might have to punch the knights of the empire.

Anyway, maybe it’s because I’m the youngest daughter of the Grand Duke of Conler, I was a little bit stronger than the other kids, actually a lot more.

“Eat this.”

“……?”

The Brandon Orphanage, which was located on the border of the two empires, as well as in the middle of a mountain, lacked support. No, let me correct it. The director was putting the subsidy in his back pocket. That’s why the children in the orphanage were always short of food.

It was common to see very diluted cabbage soup or oat porridge, and on days when even crumbly and hard bread was served, the children rushed in with excitement.

I was taking a walk to look around here, and found out that there was a potato field a little away from the orphanage. I could tell because I lived in the countryside with my maternal grandmother when I was young.

Of course, it should never be okay to do this, but wouldn’t two be okay?

The world owes me this much.

While making such self-rationalization, I bowed in front of the potato field that she would pay them back when she gets picked up by the Grand Duchy later.

I’m sorry.

I secretly baked the potatoes I brought while claiming to clean the oven that the children didn’t want to do. And now I’ll give Astina one of the two hard-earned potatoes.

When you seduce people, you have to seduce them with food. Even in my previous life, I gave caramel to my partner every new semester and asked them to get to know each other.

Although I failed to make friends every time because of my cousin.

“Where did you get this……?”

“Don’t just nag and eat secretly.”

“Why are you giving this to me all of a sudden?”

You’re wary of food even if I give you something to eat like this. Certainly, considering Mary’s history, it’s not an exaggeration if she asks her to try it first.

“Now, listen up. Astina, come to think of it, you and I are the only girls of the same age in our orphanage. So, I hope we can get along well. And so far, … I’m sorry for bothering you.”

I’m not the one who bothered you. No, to be more precise, the “me” from before I remembered my past life bothered you. But I apologized honestly because it’s true that I feel sorry.

“Thank you!”

“The Potato Skill of Camellia Blooms” I read in my past life. “You don’t have this in your house, do you?” I don’t know if it worked better than I thought, but Astina smiled brighter and accepted the potatoes.”

How far is this child’s goodness?

I bothered you like that, but you accepted my apology with such a bright smile?

While saying “thank you”?

“You’re going to forgive me like this?”

“Because Mary apologized……. And you gave me something to eat!”

“Astina, listen up.”

“What?”

“It’s not for me to say, but you shouldn’t forgive me so easily. Then the others will think you’re ridiculous.”

“I see….”

I thought I should teach Astina, who is only a good person, how to go around the world.

You may not understand what I’m saying now, but when you grow up, you’ll say, “My only true friend is Mary.” 

When I put my hand on Astina’s shoulder, who is only tapping the ground with the tip of her right foot, her gaze that was stuck on the ground came up and headed toward me.

“Hit me.”

“……What?”

“Astina, I want to get along with you, but there are things that I’ve done to you. I’m not saying we should just do it. Anyway, you can’t just accept someone’s request for reconciliation.”

Astina just stared at me blankly as if she was surprised by what I said.

In fact, it may be selfish, but I had to feel comfortable, and I decided to get hit so that she wouldn’t say anything else. Astina would feel better if she did.

Astina stared at me, then shook her fists and hit me.

It was a real bean.

“Ack….”

“Sorry! Did it hurt?”

Perhaps she thought my ridiculous sigh was from pain, Astina quickly became tearful and looked at my face restlessly.

‘Why did I hate such a nice girl so much?’

I felt more sorry for Astina, so I tried to be as nice to her as possible.

Leo, my right arm, suddenly got angry at first as if he didn’t understand me, but he eventually followed my will.

Brian, who was one-on-one with me, was frustrated, but he was crushed after a few punches.

However, rather than bothering Astina, my men fell apart and stuck to Brian because they didn’t like my changed attitude. I couldn’t help it. I understand. What can I do about these children’s survival methods? I’m also living by finding my own way to survive.

Astina was especially restless and sorry after knowing that I had narrowed my orphanage position. Leo, I and Astina managed to get along, and the day came when Astina left for the Marquis of Borneo.

Astina put her forehead against mine and cried on the day she left. Astina cried so sadly that I felt like crying, but I held it in. Astina gave me her necklace in tears.

“Don’t forget me, Mary.”

‘We’ll meet again anyway…….’

Without saying anything, I nodded. Astina left, asking Leo to take care of me before she left.

Leo and I, who usually don’t let our shoulders touch thinking we might get hives if they touched each other, held hands for the first time. Leo was the first to break up, and I was so immune to it.

“Mary, are you crying?”

“Oh, you?”

“No, you.”

“You’re crying.”

Leo and I held hands until we couldn’t see the departing carriage, and then we went back to the orphanage, arguing.

Soon my dad will be looking for me too.

I have no intention of wishing for love presumptuously, but it’s a family I haven’t had in a long time…

Can’t you come quickly?
