Chapter 6

Claire jumped up and ran down the bed to Cybill.”You can’t go!”Desperately, he grabbed Cybill’s leg and hung it.’Of course I know the Dukes of Aston are a real family, but….’However, they were the first people I saw today. Maybe it was because she was hungry, and Claire started acting like a child.”You can’t go… I can’t….”A little bit of reason left behind in my head shouted.’Crazy? Don’t be foolish like a child! Aren’t you embarrassed! Wake!’But contrary to what I thought, my body trembled as if I had a chill.By the way, he suddenly became anxious when he heard that the most familiar Cybill would go.”Ah, uh… what to do….”Cybill gave a troubled smile.Then he asked with a bright smile.”Princess! I’m going to sleep tonight, can you give me a room?””Anyway, Cybill.””Thank you….””You’re welcome!”Cybill smiled brightly.* * *Claire ate lunch closely next to Cybill.The meal he had at Cybill’s house was great, but so was the meal here.The meat was savory and salty with every bite, and the bread was chewy and sweet.The soup was also so soft that it went overboard despite its abundant ingredients.Even the juice was delicious. It was sweet and sour because fresh oranges were ground as it is.’This is my future home.’Goodbye to the food like dog food eaten by the noble family I used to live in, and the hard bread I stole with beggars!Claire ate with tears in her eyes, exactly as if she was having her last meal in his life.’Black… delicious!’Obviously, the more shameful it is to eat, the sadder it is.In the aristocratic family I lived in before, the maids gave me something like dog food, but they were sarcastic.The quantity was so small that I had to eat sparingly.Still, it was a good time. Because there is someone who takes care of it.How was it when you were a beggar?Just a few days ago, I almost died of being beaten for failing to steal the bread.As I recalled those days, tears came to my eyes.But Claire wasn’t the only one crying.When she turned her head, the Duke and Duchess of Eston were also in tears, and even Elliot’s eyes were twitching.Her twin brothers, Luca and Lois, also had a bad expressions.’Why is everyone doing that?’Claire rolled her eyes as if anxious.It was then.”Claire, try this too. Is it really delicious?”As Claire began to notice, Cybill gave her food and spoke to her. “Did your unnie prepare an extinguishing agent today? So you can eat as much as you like. Got it?””… … Yes.”Hearing Cybill’s voice, she suddenly began to calm her mind.Claire put the food in her tiny mouth and said, “Young man.” chewed and ate aloud.The Duke of Aston, Colin, looked at Claire quietly, then quietly called the butler and ordered it.”Learn more about how Claire got along in Viscount Beryl.””All right.”* * *After meal. Claire was a mess, from her face to her hair.Some would think that she wasn’t eating, but that she was fighting the food.Meanwhile, the ship protruded like a tadpole.”Now, let’s wash with warm water.”Cybill took Claire and headed to her own bathroom with her maids.She hugged Claire all the time, messing up her clothes, and she was going to sleep today, so she decided to take a bath together.”Now, shall we play with bubbles?”Cybill made this and that stuff out of foam in her bathtub and showed it to Claire.’Who knows as a child?’After relieving her hunger with a meal a while ago, Claire, who returned to her own right, snorted inwardly as she saw it.But when Cybill made a rabbit out of foam, her eyes twinkled involuntarily.’No, is it because she’s the female lead? Are you crazy with your talent?’”Claire, this will be your home from now on. They are your family. Got it?”Cybill explained step by step so that Claire could understand.It was a fact that Claire knew everything about her.But earlier, Cybill was suddenly gone, so I was afraid to be left alone, so I had no choice but to hang on to it.’Having a family….’Until they were kicked out, the people of that noble family were considered family.And after being kicked out, I didn’t even think of the word family.And after remembering her past life….’They weren’t worthy to be called family.’In her previous life, her childhood was filled with only daily hardships.Her mother died in an accident shortly after her birth, and her only family were her father and brother.His father was a madman addicted to gambling and alcohol, and his only brother was a fool.It was a life full of violence every day.So, as soon as she became an adult, she ran away from home.She started in a gosiwon, and she died for two years. She raised the money to buy her own house.And while she was going on a trip with her savings that she had poured hard-on, her brother, who had suddenly cut off contact with her, came to her job. Am I crazy, give me the money?He immediately quit his job and ran away.Her barely saved money could not be taken from her father and brother. Boring humans.After settling in a new place, she safely boarded a flight to Europe. It was the first trip in her life.And I think she fell asleep on the plane….I think there was a loud noise in the middle.She slept peacefully after a few days and couldn’t even wake up.It was time to regain consciousness at the loud crowing and shattering screams.When she woke up, her soul was transferred after she died.Behind her, she stood in front of hundreds of millions of large books in a vast cosmic space, and she moved and entered a certain book.That’s how I was born with this body.Although she has no memory of her infancy, she clearly remembers some of her time in that noble family.All the family members of the house downplayed and harassed Claire.She said that she suddenly had a real family.Moreover, as seen in the novel, the author of Prince Aston was from a wealthy and harmonious family.Mom, dad, and brothers are all friendly, like a dream family.I couldn’t believe it.I wondered if I could enjoy this happiness, but I didn’t want to let it go.The greed for the family I thought I didn’t have was growing.’To do that, we have to prevent Elliot’s death.’It is a family that has barely been formed, and it is impossible to lose this peace in vain.Claire firmly vowed.I will change the devastating ending that makes everyone unhappy into a happy one.* * *That night.’Good smell.’Claire lay on the large bed and looked to her left. To her left was Cybill asleep.And on her right….’Mom….’Claire’s mother and Duchess of Aston, Ines, were asleep.Late night. Claire awoke from her sleep and felt the warmth guarding her on either side of her.「You look very happy, baby.」’Teddy bear. Haven’t you slept?’「Can you please stop calling me by that name? Low level, really….」’Then what do you call it, you don’t have a name….’「No, what are you saying? My name is Alexandro Rubeus Verdenia….」’Uh, yes. Then I’ll call you Ruby.’「…Rather do it. 」Claire carefully hugged her baby teddy bear to her bedside.And she said as if she was telling a secret to herself.’I have a mother too.’Claire said that this situation was like a dream, so she glanced at the Duchess repeatedly.She didn’t know she was going to have a mother. She thought I could call someone her mom too….’「If you call her that, the Duchess will be very pleased. 」’…Can I?’「It’s not difficult to say, just give it a try. I’m not even a stepmother, what’s wrong! 」’Still….’Because she had never even called her, she found it difficult to say her mother.It was so fragile as to break when touched, and it felt precious as if it was not mine.She felt like she was going to be punished for being greedy for nothing.「Then why don’t you try calling my name properly from the beginning? Let me tell you the meaning of my name one by one, Alexandro….」’Cut it off.’Claire put her baby teddy bear back on her bedside and carefully grabbed the Duchess’s fingertips.It was warm and soft as if her body was about to melt.But Claire immediately removed his hand and placed it on my own chest.Fear came over her as her heart pounded as he stole bread.Claire turned her back and dug into Cybill’s familiar arms.* * *As a result, Cybill stayed with the Duke of Aston for exactly one week.During that time of the week, Claire barely began to adjust to his family.She hadn’t called her mother yet but felt at home in the Duchess’s arms.The Duchess is strong enough that she will no longer weep at Claire.But unfortunately, she is the Duke of Eston… Colin Aston has yet to hug Claire.”Claire, today to this father….”As the Duke of Eston reached out, startled Claire clung to her Cybill’s leg.”….”The Duke of Aston grew pale.”Honey, I’m sorry…. I’m really sorry… Will you go away?”As the Duchess, Ines, asked carefully, the Duke of Eston licked his lips and walked away.
