The Youngest Daughter of the Swordsmanship Family Turned Great Mage (32 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 6
She was still afraid of being adopted into a noble family. But more than fear, she wanted to change the future.
Even if Duke Adrian took her in and made her do worse things than Marquis Dallas, she would protect him.
Even if it was selfish, Rogette wanted to atone for her past in that way.
Duke Adrian, the Orphanage Director, and Daniel all looked surprised. The first to recover from the shock was Duke Adrian.
He approached Rogette, knelt on one knee, and gently pulled her into an embrace.
“Yes.”
He softly stroked her head.
“Welcome, Rogette.”
[This is the timeline separator]The employees of Duke Adrian’s residence had been busy since dawn. This was because an order had just arrived from the duke to thoroughly clean the room next to Isabelle, the only daughter of the house.
The south corridor on the third floor was a space used only by the direct line of the Adrian family. Then why was it being cleaned all of a sudden, and not even as a guest room?
They found it strange, but they could not question the head butler’s words. The employees quietly yet swiftly tidied the room so as not to wake the precious young lady Isabelle.
After several hours of cleaning, the room was finally spotless. Just then, Isabelle, who had already gotten up and even changed her clothes, came to see the room next door.
“Is the room all cleaned up?”
Isabelle Adrian had the fine platinum hair characteristic of the Adrian family and purple eyes resembling the duke’s.
She was eleven this year, but rather than being called cute, the word dignified suited her better.
Her cat-like, aloof purple eyes slowly scanned the room. The most experienced maid bowed before her.
“Yes, Miss. We have just finished tidying it.”
“I see, it looks that way. Good work.”
The maids exchanged glances.
Although Isabelle clearly distinguished between work and personal matters, she was not a cold employer. She was a young lady who would engage in some level of conversation with the maids.
The maids were confident that she would not be angry if they asked what they were curious about this time as well.
The maid standing in front carefully spoke on behalf of everyone.
“Um, Miss.”
“Yes?”
“Is a guest coming?”
“Ah.”
Isabelle answered in a calm tone, as if she were commenting on today’s weather.
“It seems my younger sibling will be coming.”
“You mean Master Lucas?”
“No. A new younger sister.”
The maids did not understand what that meant and exchanged glances again, when the head butler approached Isabelle.
“Miss, the master and the eldest young master have returned.”
“Really?”
Isabelle adjusted the shawl draped over her shoulders and signaled to the maids.
“Let’s go.”
“Pardon?”
“It seems my younger sibling has arrived.”
Still not understanding what was going on, the maids followed Isabelle. When they came out to the front of the mansion, a large four-horse carriage bearing the Adrian family crest came to a stop.
As soon as the coachman opened the door, the duke stepped out. The employees lined up in a row all bowed at once.
“Welcome back, Master.”
“Yes.”
Smiling as he greeted them, the duke reached into the carriage and carried someone out. It was a small girl with lovely pink hair, even smaller than Lucas, the youngest of the household.
The child rolled her round blue eyes, nervously observing her surroundings. Duke Adrian smiled fondly at her before announcing to the employees.
“Let me introduce her. This is Rogette Adrian, who will become a member of our Adrian family.”
The child hesitated and bowed her head.
“Please take care of me.”
The employees let out silent screams.
Oh my, she’s so adorable!
[This is the timeline separator]
The very next day after declaring she would become Duke Adrian’s adopted daughter, Rogette left the orphanage at dawn. The reason was that Duke Adrian and Daniel could no longer stay away from the residence.
“Waaah, Rose. You have to stay healthy and well, okay?”
Jane, who was expected to send Rogette off bravely, instead burst into tears and clung to her. Meanwhile, Rogette only had reddened eyes and did not cry.
After deciding she had to change the future of the Adrian family, she tried to act calmly.
‘I’m not a child.’
Her body was that of a seven-year-old, but her mind was that of an adult. She could not keep crying and lamenting the past forever.
Now it was time to move forward.
Instead of crying, Rogette smiled and said her farewell to Jane.
“I’ll write to you, Sister.”
“Hic, you don’t even know how to write.”
“I can learn.”
Actually, I’m already very good at writing now. You just don’t know it. I learned while being beaten badly at the Dallas household.
“Then you have to write to me, okay?”
“Yes. You have to write too. Got it? Don’t cry.”
“Okay.”
“Come visit. I’ll ask them to make lots of delicious food.”
“You don’t have to invite me, just go and live well.”
“Okay, I understand. I really have to go now.”
After hugging Jane tightly one last time, Rogette picked up her bag and headed toward Duke Adrian.
“Have you finished saying goodbye?”
“Yes.”
“You don’t have much luggage.”
“Yes. I don’t have much to begin with.”
Even what she had was all worn out, so she wasn’t sure if it could still be used. In the past, Marquis Dallas had even thrown her bag away in front of her, telling her to get rid of trash.
Duke Adrian carefully took the bag from Rogette.
Is he going to throw it away? Rogette tensed for a moment. But instead of throwing it away, he placed the bag inside the carriage.
“That won’t be enough. When we arrive at the estate, I will buy you what you need.”
Then he lifted Rogette up and placed her into the carriage. Rogette was so surprised that she opened and closed her mouth.
The duke, seated across from her, asked curiously.
“What is it?”
“Well, it’s dirty… no, I mean, it’s heavy.”
When Marquis Dallas first took Rogette, he had scolded her and told her to climb into the carriage on her own.
In truth, he did not like her riding in his carriage at all, but because others were watching, he had no choice but to let her ride with him.
At that moment, Daniel, who was sitting next to Rogette, let out a small laugh. It was not a mocking laugh, but a fresh smile like citrus.
“What do you mean heavy? You need to eat more from now on. John will like that. Ah, John is the head chef of our estate. He likes feeding children and making them plump.”
“Plump…”
“Unfortunately, the three Adrian siblings only build muscle… but you’ll be fun to fatten up.”
Rogette puffed out her cheeks.
“You’re teasing me right now, aren’t you?”
“Oh, you caught me?”
Daniel now laughed out loud. Rogette glanced at him briefly before suddenly realizing that Daniel’s personality was slightly different from what she had known.
‘He’s surprisingly lively.’
Was it because of his condition? In the past, he had been somewhat cynical rather than gentle. He kept a slight distance from others.
But the Daniel in front of her now was simply lively and pure.
She wanted to protect this side of him too.
And besides…
‘I don’t dislike it.’
This kind of attention wasn’t bad. Rogette lowered her head, and her cheeks had already turned slightly red.
Noticing this, Duke Adrian and Daniel smiled warmly, but she did not realize it.
[This is the timeline separator]
The carriage ran and ran until it finally arrived at the Adrian residence in the capital. Once again, Rogette was carried down by Duke Adrian, and at the sight before her, she was left speechless.
‘There are so many people.’
When she had been adopted into the Dallas family, not a single person had welcomed her. Of course, there had been no formal introduction of her to the staff either.
So she had assumed it would be the same this time. But now, so many people were here, all staring straight at her.
Rogette flinched and tightly grabbed Duke Adrian’s arm. The duke patted her back as if to reassure her.
“Let me introduce her. This is Rogette Adrian, who will become a member of our Adrian family.”
Rogette recalled what she had learned in her previous life and bowed her head.
“Please take care of me.”
In truth, she should have spoken more casually to them as they were servants, but that could be adjusted gradually.
Fortunately, the duke dismissed the employees, saying that proper introductions could be done later.
However, there was still something left. Duke Adrian said he would introduce her to the family.
Rogette followed the duke into a luxurious drawing room. Inside were the duke, Daniel, and a girl and a boy who looked a couple of years older than Rogette.
“This is Isabelle, and this is Lucas. They will become your older sister and older brother.”
Isabelle stood with her arms crossed, staring at Rogette with an indifferent expression, while Lucas widened his eyes and stared at her intently.
Rogette swallowed hard.
Although she had rarely participated in social activities in her previous life, she knew these two well. Isabelle and Lucas were not Sword Masters, but they possessed skills close to that level and worked in the Imperial Knights.
At least Lucas was said to be easygoing and fond of people. On the other hand, Isabelle was somewhat prickly and disliked contact with others, due to the discrimination she had faced as a woman wielding a sword.
But judging by that gaze now, her personality seemed inherently quite proud.
While Rogette was wondering whether she should introduce herself, Isabelle spoke first.
“She’s younger than I expected.”
Rogette muttered.
“I’m not young.”
Duke Adrian took her side.
“That’s right, she’s not young. She’s seven.”
“What?”
Isabelle raised one eyebrow arrogantly and circled around Rogette once. A displeased expression appeared on her face.
“At best, she looks six. She’s a whole head shorter than me.”
Although Rogette was small for her age, it was also because Isabelle was well-developed. Not only her, but everyone in the Adrian family had a large build.
Rogette clenched both her fists.
“I’m not small. You’re just tall, Isabelle.”
“What.”
Isabelle frowned as if dumbfounded. Daniel, standing beside Rogette, covered his mouth as his shoulders trembled.
Though he did not show it openly, Duke Adrian also lowered his head and swallowed a dry laugh. Only Lucas, the immature youngest—or rather, the one who had been the youngest until yesterday—burst out laughing.
“That’s right! Sister is tall!”
“Be quiet, Lucas.”
At Isabelle’s sharp remark, Lucas covered his mouth with both hands.
“So why did you bring this child?”
“Isabelle.”
Duke Adrian tried to stop his daughter, but she continued firmly.
“If you need a capable knight, you already have us. You already have three children, so why adopt another?”
“Rogette is not a swordsman, but a mage.”
“A mage?”
Lucas widened his eyes. Rogette quite liked that reaction from Lucas. Among the three who would become her siblings, she felt she would become close to him first.
However, it seemed that explanation alone was not enough for Isabelle. She crossed her arms and asked again.
“Then you could just sponsor her.”
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?
Want to see how he flirtatiously pursues the female lead?
Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?
The male lead is a green tea bitch, a poisonous lotus, jealous, ruthless, unscrupulous, with a venomous heart, and he’s also a delusional maniac.
The female lead is righteous, positive energy-filled, kind, a holy mother.
Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~

I like it. Even if they are not bad people, is normal for a child to ask, and not just accept stuff that easily like the oldest brother hahaha
