Just hearing the name of his sister seemed to please Daniel, as he let out a soft laugh this time.
“Yes. Precisely, Rosette is a nickname, and her formal name is Rosette.”
“Rosette? Did the master give her that name?”
“No, her original name is Rosette. I’m not sure who named her, but it seems she was named that way probably because her hair is pink like roses.”
“Pink hair? Are her eyes blue by any chance?”
“How did you know? Yes, they are blue.”
“……”
“Why do you ask, Your Highness?”
“Nothing.”
Joshua managed his expression and posed his final question.
“Was it not Celine but that youngest lady who saved your master this time?”
“……”
Daniel, obviously not adept at lying, avoided Joshua’s gaze slightly and smiled. From his demeanor, Joshua drew the conclusion he had suspected.
Joshua was deep in thought, watching Daniel leave the Sapphire Palace. His mind was cluttered with the barrage of information.
‘The past has changed again. But why?’
In the past Joshua remembered, it was Daniel Adrian, not Duke Adrian, who had suffered a mysterious carriage accident. Since Daniel, who had been a promising swordsman, ended up crippled for life in one leg, it wasn’t a mistaken memory.
That’s why Joshua had risked suspicion to warn Daniel.
But, ironically, it was Duke Adrian who had been involved in the accident, someone Joshua hadn’t been concerned about at all.
Moreover.
‘The timing has subtly changed too.’
In the past, Daniel’s accident occurred after the social season had fully started. But this time, the accident happened before spring had even arrived.
Joshua concluded that the target had been changed to Duke Adrian for some reason.
And there was another change.
‘This time they caught the culprit. Was it Count Shane?’
In the past, despite Duke Adrian’s furious search throughout the empire, the culprit was never found, but this time, the mastermind was uncovered surprisingly easily.
Could such a thing be possible? Joshua sighed softly.
The Adrian family had already experienced a change in the past. The past had once been altered.
‘Rosette Adrian.’
The girl suddenly adopted into the Adrian family.
Sitting at his desk, Joshua mulled over that name.
He already knew a girl named Rosette with pink hair and blue eyes. However, the girl he knew was ‘Rosette Dallas.’
In the ‘past’ he remembered, she was a foster child of the Dallas family.
‘Come to think of it, Dallas Duke adopted her around this time.’
Rosette wasn’t a common name. Could there really be two people with such a rare name, identical in appearance, and adopted around the same time? Plus, both were said to have magical abilities.
No matter how he thought about it, the conclusion was that the girl he knew and the youngest lady of the Adrian family were the same person.
‘If Adrian’s second lady is indeed the Rosette Dallas I know.’
Why is she in the Adrian Duke’s house and not the Dallas Duke’s?
It was perplexing.
Why would the very person who led to the Adrian family’s downfall be there?
What was unexpected was that Duke Adrian had decided to adopt her. If Rosette had approached first, he would have suspected ulterior motives, but the situation didn’t seem to suggest that.
‘Should I be relieved about that?’
Was this the will of Goddess Ashela or a curse of some evil god?
‘Either way, if she truly is Rosette Dallas, she must be expelled from the Adrian family.’
Joshua clenched his fist so hard that his nails dug into his palm, recalling the vivid past still fresh in his memory.
That day was like any other peaceful night. Joshua was about to fall asleep late at night after dealing with paperwork when his aide burst in urgently.
“Your Highness, there’s big trouble!”
“What’s the matter?”
“Duke Adrian’s residence has been attacked.”
Up until then, Joshua was nonchalant.
“Is that something you need to report so urgently at this late hour?”
It wasn’t the first time assassins had infiltrated Duke Adrian’s residence. Most of them were caught by the guards.
Even if they managed to infiltrate deep inside the residence, they posed no threat to the people of Adrian. All four members of the Adrian family were among the top swordsmen in the empire.
So Joshua thought this time would pass without much issue and was about to return to bed when the aide added:
“Duke Adrian and Lord Daniel have been murdered.”
“……What did you say?”
“The Duke and the eldest son have… uh!”
The aide felt as if he was choking from the murderous aura exuding from Joshua, who had approached him suddenly. Joshua spoke firmly, word by word.
“What did you just say?”
“They have passed away…”
“Speak properly, or even you won’t be safe.”
“It’s true…”
It was unbelievable. His master and Daniel had been attacked. This couldn’t be possible. But it needed to be confirmed.
Joshua, in just his shirt and trousers, rushed to the Duke’s residence.
Arriving faster than ever at Duke Adrian’s residence, the scene was chaotic. The Royal Knights had already surrounded the mansion.
“Who’s there… Your Highness?”
“Move aside.”
