The tragic supporting actress in the Duke's household Chapter 11：Circus performances
Unexpectedly, my bruise-prone body helped a lot. After the incident ended satisfactorily, I moved in next door to my sister Claire. My new room was many times larger than before. The head maid was fired, and no one dared bully Sharon anymore. Everything was perfect.That's what I thought until I opened the door the next morning and saw Elio's face.I slowly closed the door, smiling.Why does he have to live right across the street from me?There was a knock at the door. What had to be, would be. I decided to greet my fate with a smile."Good morning, Master Arios!"Arios still had the same half-smile. He didn't have the innocence of a child. He was obviously only thirteen years old, but he was really old for his age."Inette, the tailor will be here this afternoon to make some formal dresses for you. Stay in your room and wait for me at noon."A formal occasion?In the original story, Inette never attended a social occasion before the age of sixteen. I seem to have taken a different p

"Inet!"Ario pushed frantically through the crowd, searching for the small figure."Hey, watch out, have you no eyes?"The crowd grumbled and cursed, but he paid no attention.She was gone!Looking around, he saw that the crowd was so dense that Inet's height would not have made her stand out."Inet!"She was right behind him!Ario could still feel the warmth of the child's hand in his palm. Halfway through the circus show, Claire had put Inet's hand in his and told him to keep an eye on his sister.The girl's hand was white and small, soft as if it had no bones, and it radiated warmth in his hands, giving Ariol a tangible sense for the first time that this child was his sister.She was obedient and fragile. Since Ariol had brought her home, even though she was very frightened, she had always smiled at him and never complained about being wronged. She was a child who would comfort others, even when she was clearly the one who had been hurt.But now I've lost her."Yinite!"The crowd i

The bandits from the circus were all lying on the ground in a mess, unconscious. The magician took a crumpled piece of paper from his chest, unfolded it, and placed it next to me, comparing it back and forth.After a while, as if he had confirmed it, he smiled and patted my head."Yes! You're the one! Miss Inette, right?"He knows me?"It's me! Thank you for saving me, but how do you know my name?"He handed me the paper in his hand, and I unfolded it to look at it....What is this drawing?"Your portrait is all over the streets, and your family has offered a large reward for your capture."The word "reward" sounded strange, as if I were a fugitive...Huh?Wait, this is a picture of me? I'm not even sure if there's a person in this picture! I could never look like that!"Brother, is this the picture you used to recognize me?"I was so shocked that I couldn't even look away from the painting. The young mage nodded with a smile. I could hear the sound of my own heart breaking as a youn

Ario was still wearing the clothes from yesterday's parade, his collar loose, his pockets crumpled, his hair a bit unkempt, and dark circles under his eyes.Before he could catch his breath, he came over and held out his hand to me. I was still a little afraid of him and subconsciously wanted to hide, so I flinched slightly.He stopped moving, looking a little hurt. "Ah, I didn't mean it."It seemed as if Gray had suddenly become emotionally intelligent. He made a move to hand me over to Elio, so I quickly grabbed him by the collar. The scene descended into chaos for a moment as Elio watched the two of us struggle with a dark face."Who is this person?""He is the person who saved Inette," the Duke said, smiling at Gray. Then he turned to his son and persuaded him, "Inette is still a little shocked, so let her go and rest first."Ario nodded at the Duke.Since I was holding onto Gray's collar, the Duke asked him to escort me back to my room."Is that Lady Inette?""Lady Inette is back

After nearly a month of studying magic day and night, I can proudly say that I have made no progress in my journey as a magician!On the one hand, this is because the amount of magic I can use is really limited. The magic contract consumes my output like a bottomless pit, and what little remains can't be mobilized at all.On the other hand, it's Gray! He's a terrible teacher!"You have to turn your magic into cool silk threads, then wrap them around your hands and imagine them turning into birds that fly to the wound, and then you can use the healing spell."What? What does that mean? Can you teach me in a way that humans can understand?"Fireball" is very simple! You need to warm your palms first, then feel the heat flow from the center of your palms, gradually merging into a ball of flames, and then throw it hard."After trying for a long time, my palms did not get warmer, but my forehead did. My mind was racing and I felt like it was about to burst into flames.Gray touched my fore

Knight Ted showed me the way. Elio does not use the same training ground as you. He is deeper in the forest.It is much quieter here than at the Knights' training ground, because there is only one person in the whole area."Whoosh..."Elio's dark hair is soaked with sweat, and he swings his sword relentlessly without stopping. His steps and movements are light and sharp, making no sound, but the tip of his sword slices through the air, bringing with it the sound of the wind.I was a little lost in thought.I rarely had the opportunity to watch Ariol like this. When I looked at him, he always noticed very quickly.But he was so absorbed in his swordplay that he didn't notice my arrival at all, so I began to observe him without restraint.Ario has a straight posture, a handsome face, and a body full of strength even before he is fully grown. Even as a teenager, his swordplay exudes an air of menace that is no worse than that of the knights I have just seen. When he reaches adulthood, he

The next afternoon, after my nap, I was awakened to wash up and change into my dress with Sharon's help.I have to say, Claire's taste is really top notch. This gold dress is so vibrant and light, it seems to make my eyes even brighter.Looking at myself in the mirror, I carefully put on the topaz hairpin.It's a waste not to use it!Claire and Elio were waiting for me outside the door.Ario... He is beyond beautiful. He's so beautiful today, I can't take my eyes off him. His soft, jet-black hair is shiny and well-groomed, his ruby-red eyes are crystal clear, and the black tuxedo he is wearing, decorated with gorgeous silver threads, makes him look like a prince out of a fairy tale.Suddenly I understand why Katrina was fooled by this guy.After a few seconds of being stunned, I came to my senses. Damn, I almost let my mind get confused by beauty again. I quickly turned my eyes to look at Claire, but this side was no place to rest my eyes either.Claire's deep red evening gown matched

After Young Master Woodlow left, Elio breathed a sigh of relief."Inet, this person was very dangerous."Elio's voice sounded a bit nervous. "If you meet him in the future, don't say much to him, just make an excuse and leave."I nodded repeatedly. My greatest strength is that I listen to advice!"If I had known he was coming, I wouldn't have brought you..."Elio looked a little down because he looked exceptionally good today, so I decided to comfort him a little."It's okay, brother. I have the magic hairpin you gave me!"I took his hand and put it on my head, letting him feel my hairpin. "I feel very comfortable with this!"He froze for a moment and smiled tenderly, his dry, warm palm stroking my hair lightly.Hey, look at me, what a grateful and good boy I am.Please give me more magic props in the future!While I was being manipulated and pampered, the lights in the entire hall suddenly dimmed, leaving only the huge crystal chandelier in the center shining a soft light.

Ah, fresh air, sunshine, a quiet lawn, people who haven't been stuck in a ballroom for an hour can't imagine how good these things are!"You seem to be in a much better mood, didn't you like the ball?"Ulysses walks beside me, his long legs matching my pace as we slowly alternate."Well... sort of, crowded places make me nervous."We soon arrive at the greenhouse. After Xiao Hei Dou settled here, Elio helped me expand it. Now the greenhouse is connected to a tunnel that both Er Mo and Xiao Hei Dou can pass through, and outside is a fenced-in grassy area for them to play in."They don't seem to be outside today..."I led Ulysses into the greenhouse and found Little Black Bean sleeping on his back next to the rabbit hutch. He was showing off his fluffy belly with complete ease. When he heard our footsteps, his ears twitched, but he was obviously too lazy to run away, so he went back to sleep.Ulysses knelt down and ran his long, white fingers through the rabbit's soft fur. The shadows c
The tragic supporting actress in the Duke's household Chapter 31 :Midway through the party
"Do you want to come with me to see it?"I regretted it as soon as the words left my mouth, leaving this party with Ulysses didn't seem very wise."Really? Now?"But he seemed so happy ......I gritted my teeth and nodded, I was the one who took someone's love before and I hadn't thought to give my former master an update after three years, so I'll give up my life today!I didn't move and looked around, it was good, no one seemed to be paying attention to our side, so I just moved quietly towards the door ......"Inet!"What is Clea doing here, doesn't she hate kids?"How could you not come to your sister's birthday party, are you having fun?" Her eyes flickered, "And that is?"She didn't look at Odysseus or me when she spoke, but her gaze went down, I followed it and realized that I was still holding Odysseus' wrist, I was too afraid that he would call the kids back just now, and I forgot about it completely.I quickly let go of his hand and said, "This is Ulysses Woodrow, he was at
The tragic supporting actress in the Duke's household Chapter 30: A Birthday Party and an Unwelcome Guest
Time flies. In the blink of an eye, I have been in the Duke's mansion for four years. Standing in front of the Duke's office, I have a feeling of déjà vu. It seems like only a short time ago that I was adopted. I tilted my head to look in the door frame to see myself in the mirror. I would never do such a silly thing now.It's really great to be taller. When I was little, everyone looked like giants to me, and I had to tilt my head 90 degrees to see their faces. Luckily, children's bones are soft, or everyone would get cervical spondylosis before they grew up."Click!"The door opened and I found myself facing the person's chest. Elio had grown faster than I had. The seventeen-year-old boy had a straight posture and a handsome appearance. Although his features were still the same, he gave a completely different impression. He blinked his dark red eyes and looked down at me."Why didn't you come in when you arrived? You were just standing in the doorway."The Duke invited me to sit bes

With Ermo's permission, I temporarily stored Xiao Hei Dou in the greenhouse. If I see Ulysses a few more times, will this place soon turn from a botanical garden into a zoo?When Ermo saw the little mouse I bought, I saw embarrassment on his face for the first time. He played with it a few times symbolically, as if to save face for me, and then secretly threw the mouse into the depths of the flowers.He even pretended to apologize, "Woof woof, that's love!"We were in the middle of a peaceful scene of motherly love when Emo suddenly perked up, ears alert, and dove headfirst into the flowers. He's usually fearless, and even after the time he bit me, Elio threatened to teach him a lesson, but he still dared to argue with Elio!"Little Enid, your maid said I might find you here."Oh, it's Gray. Emo is really afraid of him, although he's very gentle."I need to investigate something. I've been delayed for a long time and may have to leave for a while..."He said, holding up a finger and l

“Yes?”Ulysses half-kneeled to be at my level, the light shining back into his eyes, his gentle smile mesmerizing the women passing by to turn back frequently.“How much?”I made a show of unfolding my arms, “There's this - how much I like it!”I'm a kid, there's no shame in that, there's no shame in that!Daniel looked at me with big surprised eyes, over, like it was embarrassing.“Well, then if I gave the rabbit to Ms. Inet, would you like me this--this much too?”Wasn't I embarrassed enough? I can't believe he's learning from me ......I looked at him with flashing eyes, “I would like you a little bit more!”Ulysses burst out laughing, I then heard the female crowd around me suck in a cold breath, was that so dramatic? It's not like this guy is Apollo.“That's enough.” He handed the cage to Ted, “Hold it for your lady.”“Thank you brother Yuri!”The 'little black bean' ate hay in a dull manner, oblivious to the change in his fate.Ulysses was thoughtful, “You always seem to be snat

"My Lady, you seem very happy today."Of course I am happy. The chance to leave the Duke's mansion is so rare that I want to enjoy this hard-won free time!Ermo hasn't been sneaking into my room in the mornings for the past few days. Even though we've made up, he's still in a bad mood. I've gotten used to my little cat pillow, and I don't sleep well when it's not there.My sister, Claire, has given me a lot of pocket money, so I plan to take this opportunity to buy her some cat toys to make her happy.A carriage is waiting for us downstairs. I opened the door with a smile on my face, only to see Elio's cold face."What are you doing? I have training this afternoon. Get in the car quickly."No, who invited you?"Brother, do you want to go to the fair too? Haha.""I don't want to."I don't want to. Then get out of the carriage, why do you make it sound like I'm being unreasonable by insisting on going with you?The carriage pulled up to the door and was stopped by a few people in a hurr
The tragic supporting actress in the Duke's household Chapter 26: A Numb Heart
“Ted Lux?”I nodded, and the duke hesitantly asked, “Can I ask why you like him?”Because he can beat up Elio! Haha!“I met him last time I was at the training ground, and he seems like a nice person!” And he's quite handsome.The duke frowned disapprovingly: “He is the future Viscount Lux, and I still hope that you can choose knights who are exclusive to the duke's mansion as much as possible, for safety's sake.”No wonder Ted didn't show any mercy to Elio. It turns out that he is also a nobleman. For safety's sake, I have to choose him even more. He is the only one in the entire Duke's Mansion who can possibly resist Elio.The Duke finally gave in, and I got a handsome bodyguard as I wished, with his cute younger brother as a bonus.***After leaving the Duke's office, I returned to the greenhouse. The sun had already begun to set, and Sharon would be worried if I didn't go back soon. However, I couldn't let go of Emo's unusual behavior, so I wanted to check on him again.The greenh

Sitting on Arios' arm, I can finally look at the crowd eye to eye. At a child's height, all I see are thighs...From this angle I can even look down at Odysseus. He talks to me, leaning forward a bit because he developed a few years earlier than I did!"I heard the ladies say that Miss Inette is your younger sister?""Yes." Ariol walked past me, holding me close. He lowered his voice so only the three of us could hear, "If I catch you contacting her again, you're dead."Ariol walked away, and I leaned over his shoulder to look back. Ulysses didn't go after him, and he didn't come back. He just stood there, expressionless, wondering what to do...Huh? What's that?There was a bright red spot on the sleeve of Ulysses' snow-white tuxedo, slowly spreading, right where Ariol had just grabbed him. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't possibly strangle someone until they bled, could he? But Ulysses had a distorted expression for a moment when he was grabbed by the wrist just now..."The
The tragic supporting actress in the Duke's household Chapter 24: My life of being bullied by bad guys
Things didn't go quite as I expected.After the second prince introduced himself, he began to praise Claire's dancing. Before he could finish, Claire took my hand and said worriedly, "Inet? You look so pale, did you eat too much?"I was obviously sad, but you think I'm full...I looked at the Second Prince who had been interrupted, and he still had a bright smile on his face, as if it were a mask, without the slightest flaw.The Second Prince had a sunny and handsome appearance, but his look made me extremely uncomfortable, and I sneaked behind Cléa and shrank.She looked at me thoughtfully, "Let's go dance."I nodded repeatedly and followed her to the dance floor. Second Prince Er and Ario were talking about something, but his gaze kept following us, like a thorn in our backs.***They said they were dancing, but with our height difference, we were just holding hands and turning to the music."Are you not having fun today?"Was my expression that obvious? How could I let the person w
