“It’s just as I told you. The name is Delina Floren. She’s twelve years old. She has one twin brother, and her parents are deceased. Currently, she’s under the care of her paternal side.”
Investigating Delina was almost a joke in Ulphrim. Within a few hours of starting the investigation, they could even find out the name of the store where Delina often ate. However, the information Duke Bellion truly wanted was not yet found.
“Where could the duke’s information possibly leak from?”
“From what I’ve found so far, there’s no chance of that. She’s completely like a teenage girl. She has no outstanding talents, nor is she particularly agile.”
“……”
That surprised look on his face, even though he had used the passage himself. The two of them recalled Delina lying on the floor.
“It seems we have no choice but to ask her directly. And…… it doesn’t seem like her intention was assassination. I saw her yesterday, and with that body, she wouldn’t even be able to defeat a fiveyearold in training.”
Duke Bellion thought the same. What kind of assassin would announce their arrival in such a noisy manner? Moreover, the child was clearly surprised by the fact that blood had to be used to move the passage. It meant she didn’t completely know the secret.
“But we can’t just leave her alone.”
“Right. We can’t just let her go like this……. Ah, should we torture her?”
“……”
“By doing something horribly awful that children hate. Like depriving them of sweet desserts during meals. Then, they’ll break down in just a few meals. Or show them two candies and only allow them to eat one……. ”
“Shut up.”
“Yes.”
After a moment, Duke Bellion’s lips parted as he seemed lost in thought.
“Have her take the test.”
At those words, Felik’s eyes widened.
“That young lady? You’re really going to sponsor her? And today?”
“Today is fine.”
“Ah, surely…….”
Felik recalled the four children arriving today, those who seemed anything but children.
“You want her to face all four of them? That young lady?”
“……”
“In my opinion, she’ll be shattered even by one.”
What could a seemingly ordinary young lady do against children whose combat skills far exceeded those of average adults? Felik clicked his tongue as if pitying her.
“She came here on her own, so the test must be the same.”
“……”
“And if she fails, then immediately…….”
Kill her.
Duke Bellion cut off his words, but Felik knew what was meant.
After all, his master had never been one to mince words in such matters. Felik, who knew this better than anyone, understood that by even giving a test to the girl, who showed no particular talent, Duke Bellion was showing his last act of mercy.
“Understood. I will prepare right away.”
She was quite an interesting young lady, though.
Felik answered, feeling a little regretful.
(This is a time divider.)
“Ugh…….”
The first thing that entered Delina’s eyes when she opened them the next day was the stone ceiling. She stared at it for a moment before suddenly sitting up.
When had she fallen asleep?
Turning her head, she was greeted by iron bars. Delina quickly became aware of her reality.
“Right. I was trapped here…….”
The attack by the wolf pack, coming to the duke’s residence, and then rolling into the duke’s bedroom of all places……. Delina sighed softly at these events that would make others ask if she’d had a dream.
The prison’s daytime scenery was just as bleak as at night. Delina awkwardly looked around the prison before noticing the plate in front of her. The promise of dessert wasn’t empty words; beside her meal lay a cake that looked quite tasty.
Then, the events of yesterday came rushing back to her, and the fact that she had come to the duke’s house became real once more. Delina flopped back down.
‘I wonder if there’s chaos over there too.’
Everyone must have realized by now that he had disappeared. He was curious about their reactions. Of course, he had no interest in people like Niel or Charlotte, but he was worried about the reactions of the servants who had taken care of him since childhood.
“Has my brother seen it too?”
He couldn’t be sure what he was thinking now, looking at that piece of paper. But Delina was going to survive, no matter what. She vowed never to create the same disaster, to survive more tenaciously than anyone else.
“Ah, you’re awake, Miss?”
Such thoughts were interrupted by a cheerful voice from beyond the window. Knowing well who the voice belonged to, Delina slowly moved to look at the approaching figure.
“Why didn’t you eat? I specifically requested a delicious dessert to be made.”
“……I feel like throwing up.”
The situation of having such a delicious cake while not knowing if one would live or die was laughable. Nevertheless, Felic handed Delina a plate.
“Still, Miss, you must eat to go out.”
“I’m going out?”
Upon hearing she was leaving, Delina sprang up from her seat.
“Um, you’re going, but……. There’s one good news and one bad news for Miss. Which one would you like to hear first?”
“……The good news?”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him

At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
