Chapter 1

I was used to being ignored by my family.

In the previous life, there was nothing better than my brothers, so my parents treated me like a family shame.

Now I am ‘Anissa LaGrange’, a character who was abandoned because she doesn’t have the power of the sun, so I cannot happily say that I have the greatest luck.

‘The family of my previous life at least bothered to raise me.’

I inhaled shortly and then opened up my mouth to exhale.

“Why is the baby sighing and frantic?”

He was the youngest at the moment, and he took care of me, who had no connection, and he didn’t like what I did.

“Why, why should I care if this young girl seems troubled?”

He knows that I can’t understand, so he continues his rant.

What’s wrong with a child who can’t even speak! Am I reincarnated or reborn?

Yes. I was born as a character in a novel, so I’m going to be alright.

Anyways, the world I live in now is very similar to the world of the war fantasy novel called ‘The Rose Wars of the Men’ that I read in my previous life.

‘No, this is not the same at all.’

I eagerly turned around my head and looked around my new environment.

The Euclid family I was born in shared a very long history of war with the Grand Duke of LaGrange.

If Euclid is the sun, LaGrange is a shadow. If you happen to hear that Euclid may be more powerful, it’s not exactly true.

“Poor Camille, why are you dying?”

Lancel grumbled while changing the diaper which moistened overnight, frowning with arrogance.

“Oh my God, if only Camille lived!”

That woman’s name, Camille.

Camille is one of the countless wives of the Grand Duke of LaGrange, whom Lanselle served. She is a character of ‘The Rose Wars of the Men’ and also the mother of the vicious villain who is against the main character.

“When will I escape this miserable situation? Why did you die after giving birth to this ugly baby?”

‘Why does that child look like her from the beginning?’

I muttered in my mind and started running over the contents that I had remembered from this novel. On the surface, Camille was said to have died while giving birth to me, but in fact, I wasn’t her birth child.

Camille kidnapped me, the daughter of an enemy Euclid family, from the Duke of Euclid, in order to strengthen her position in LaGrange.

‘Is this baby Euclid’s child?’

I still vividly remember the face of Camille, who watched me in the air, when I was still a newborn baby.

She was a rare beauty. At that time, even though the memories were flimsy like watercolors soaked in water, the beauty seemed to be tens of times more beautiful than that of Anissa’s.

‘That must be why your son Dietrich will grow to be very beautiful.’

She was nearing the end of her life, but she was caught in the midst of kidnapping me, and was killed by Euclid’s knights.

‘Kill all!’

‘What about the babies?’

‘Kill it. The existence of a Euclid, who has no use, shouldn’t live.’

The funny thing is, Euclid’s knights weren’t tracking her to rescue me. They want to find Camille in order to get rid of us both. Unfortunately, the baby she had been pregnant with had died as a result .

I don’t know why I’m the only one alive and being raised as Camille’s daughter in the LaGrange family.

There was no such thing in the book, and I was shocked the moment the knights killed Camille.

Anissa’s biological mother was insane, unlike any other insane human being. She tried to suffocate a baby with a pillow pressed to the face! Still, the situation in LaGrange wasn’t exactly great either.

“Urgh, such an ugly baby!”

For example, Lancel, who is currently scratching my forearm with his nails, didn’t seem like a normal person as well.

“Aw ah ah ah ah!”

A baby’s skin is so soft that it looks like dough. Even with a little bit of pressure, it was enough to make it red. If you scratch yourself with your nails, wouldn’t it also hurt you?

“Eishh! Cry more! Cry more!”

Whether I cried or not, Lancel pinched my forearm.

As a matter of fact, I have never done anything improper to him, yet why does Lancel hate me so much?

I stared at the black smoke spread over Lancel’s heart.

The black aura that fills the chest tells of his ‘hatred’.

‘Why do you hate me so much?’

I was able to read people’s feelings with aura.

It was also the moment when I realized that the misty aura was a character of the world in the book.

The first aura I saw was when I was born and it belonged to my biological mother, and her aura was much darker than Lancel’s.

The hatred was too intense for a baby to take on.

‘You hate your baby that much because she doesn’t have the power of the sun.’

Although I had become Anissa, I felt a little compassion

At least my indifferent parents didn’t ‘hate’ me …

No, actually they hated me a lot, but it might have been something I didn’t know because I didn’t see their auras.

‘Oh, no. Let’s think differently, think differently.’

I didn’t want to think of my miserable situation right before my death, so I shouted.

‘The Rose Wars of The Men’ that I read the last time before I died was a novel from an observer’s point of view.

She wasn’t the main character, but the owner of the voice that unfolded the story was ‘Anissa Euclid’. Instead of the sun’s instinct, she had the power of the Almighty Euradia, who can read people’s auras and predict the future.

‘Is it not almighty? It was a role only played by Dietrich.’

Anissa knew every character and the main character’s mind one after another, but she was a weak person who didn’t have the power to defend anyone.

Knowing that she was Herman Euclid’s younger sister, Dietrich killed her with the shadow, made her behave like a slave, and used her to attack Hermann.

‘It was one of the reasons Herman didn’t forgive Dietrich.’

I thought she was a kind of device used to emphasize Dietrich’s wickedness, who was called the Demon Granduke in the novel.

Even I-who had no expectation for my family-read it as a horrible description of a villain who uses and throws away a person who grows up as his sister.

‘I’m scared. This family is so scary!’

If only I could move my body, I would run away immediately. I tried to look up at Lancel, struggling with my inner thoughts.

‘Eh. It wasn’t black at all. Lancel’s aura was shaking in front of me.’

Each person has a unique aura, but the emotional auras are easy to read because they have similar colors.

“Hhh, huh! Camille. Why did you die?”

Lancel’s aura began to turn blue. Blue was sadness.

‘I guess he really loved Camille.’

Even though I couldn’t shed tears, I was able to feel his sorrow with Lancel’s anguish.

I think I’m the reason she died, so he hates me because of it.

‘But that’s not my fault.’

I never told Camille to kidnap me.

Lancel, who shed tears in front of me, quickly left the room and closed the door.

‘No, give me rice!’

I’m hungry!

There weren’t many workers going in and out of my room because my palace was completely neglected by the Grand Duke.

I was starving for ages and ages until Lancel came back.

In this world, the infant mortality rate is not that low. I wonder if I could die of starvation.

Even if you properly look around, you will not find anyone willing to bring you food.

Lancel implemented the bare minimal care needed to keep me alive. Although it was resentful, it was not something I couldn’t understand.

I was a princess, but LaGrange was overflowing with many princes and princesses.

Derreck LaGrange, who is now the Grand Duke of LaGrange was an overexpressed human being who even had over twenty children.

‘If you are considered a woman who will give birth to a great successor, you brought it right away and used it as a ticket to become a concubine.’

Eventhough Dietrich LaGrange was the best villain in the world, I think the real garbage is Derreck LaGrange.

Dietrich was a bad guy, but he was a romantic guy loyal to the heroine, Charlotte.

In any case, there are so many children, even children who are ignored by society are prepared.

‘Crazy bastard.’

However, Derreck is a human who doesn’t care for his children in the slightest. Only the children filtered through the test were recognized as ‘succession candidates’ and looked after.

However, the harsh test was not just a fitness test or study. As it was beyond what a commoner could have imagined, it was a very dangerous situation for me.

Like right now. “This one right? Baby, can I kill you? ”

LaGrange’s countless tests included murder between siblings!

‘To ensure that cruelty will lead the north or something.’

So, no matter how many babies Derreck LaGrange’s wife has, less than half survive. Newborns are an excellent target for murder.1

“Nobody. Quickly kill.”

The child staring at me exhales coldly. I stretched out my hand and opened my mouth to persuade the child.

“Euuuu”

However, only a strange babble comes out. It seemed like tears would come out of the stuffiness.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t help it. You have a position.”

The cold blade touches my neck. I haven’t touched the texture of the cool metal yet, but I’ve got goosebumps all over my body.

No, guys. First of all, why don’t you listen to a baby?

Chapter 2

From their faces, both of the children near the cradle where I lay in seemed like LaGrange’s successors.

“This will kill you. You’re weaker than me.”

It’s a good thing to make a concession to kill a baby, and a little taller boy smokes.

A small boy who conceded to murder, nodded with a big smile.

I witnessed a six-year-old child’s heart spread into a yellow aura.

Morning yellow means pleasure. Now the child was having fun ahead of the murder.

‘These crazy guys.’

The boys scratch their legs with a knife instead of killing me as if they were playing with me.

The bright red blood begins to rise above the soft white flesh.

It was dirty.

Until now, I was pinched by Lancel and now I’m must being cut by a child in elementary school age!

This world is terrifying. No, is this family scary? Even though they are half siblings, why do they kill each other?

“I’m so scared until I’m going crazy!”

“Heungggg!”

I couldn’t talk yet, so the only expression was to burst into tears.

‘Don’t kill me, guys! please!’

“Heunggg, Heungggg!”

No, I’m not sure if I can do anything other than crying even though I experienced it in an adult’s body.

I have never felt the crisis of death directly.

With my cry, the blade that was trying to aim at my neck is suddenly panicked for a moment. At that time, very calm voice rang out in the room.

“What are you doing?”

It was purely an illusion that the boy’s cruel behavior would stop. The candidate boy didn’t stop acting because of my crying. That child was trying hard to kill me.

It seems clear even in my poor vision that the hand that gave a lot of strength trembles. The child’s body was trembling like it was tied to something.

“What, Dietrich! I don’t care!”

‘Dietrich?’

Dietrich LaGrange was described as the Grand Duke of LaGrange in the novel.

After all, it was said that this boy was the winner of the LaGrange candidate election.

In the urgent cry of the boy, I hurried up to see Dietrich LaGrange in person.

No, I wanted to get up.

“Ueee.”

However, my stomach wasn’t enough, so I could hardly lift my upper body.

‘Ah! Really! There’s nothing I can do about it!’

“I asked what he was doing.”

Fortunately, Dietrich was close enough to be seen even tought I didn’t raise my body.

He looked at same age as a child who was aiming me, but the feelings he carried were different.

He’s only a 6-year-old child, and I might laugh seeing what he did, but I’m not.

The kids who tried to kill me happy to murder with their twinkle eyes, but Dietrich’s eyes were black and dead.

It’s frightening like you’re going to fall into the dark if you’ve been staring him for a long time.

‘As I thought, the best villain of the novel!’

I forgot the situation and wanted to move my little hand and clap it. From the outset, Dietrich was different in appearance from that of those little villains. Of course, he wasn’t a grown-up villain.

“Answer,”

I saw the boy and the other boy who pointed a knife at me floating in the air.

‘Wow, so strong’

The boy who yielded ‘murder’ to a small child seemed a little older than Dietrich, but he still cannot move.

“Yeah, you know, Dietrich. All newborn babies become target of the successor game!”

“When there is no one to protect”

Dietrich tilts his head to the side as the child yells at him.

“So you’re going to kill that baby now?”

The topic the child was talking about was too deep. His attitude is not like a child, the boys bound by Dietrich’s shadow grew increasingly white.

“Oh, well, I was wrong! I knew it was your sister!”

At the cry of the big boy, Dietrich released his clenched fist. They hung in the air and fell like drops of water.

“My sister?”

“Cough.”

“Isn’t you blocking me right now because she’s you’re sister?”

Dietrich sighed and added when they ask the reason.

“Why then! Ugh! Why are you doing this?”

“There is also a ‘protective ability’ in the special condition of this game.”

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I don’t know if there is a child to protect!”

“You know now. Die.”

With a thundering sound, black stains formed around the boys and began to go round and round.

‘What kind of child is charismatic like that?’

I openly admired Dietrich’s ability.

‘It was. I have to hang on him first.’

In this crazy family, children weren’t life, but an assets. Therefore, weak children deemed of no value were removed.

‘I can’t run away yet.’

Since there are so many children, not all of them have villain’s derivative character. Some children wanted to run away from LaGrange and actually tried.

However, they was annihilated because they’re all weakness of LaGrange.

‘Same with me. That is clear. Very clear.’

It seemed to me that I wasn’t very happy with the fact that I was his younger sister, he was a very scary kid to reach, but Dietrich was still the last winner to survive this hellish family.

Later, even if I ran away, survive is the first thing to do.

The hero of ‘The Rose Wars of The Man’ isn’t Anissa. So, no explanation was given for how she survived in LaGrange.

Therefore, I must say that I must survive on my own.

But how many people will survive in this violent house which is all about the more talented than others? I needed someone to protect me.

‘Dietrich, That’s right!’

“Eu-ww!”

I marked him as my guardian and watched how he was dealing with the enemy.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry !!! Just look at it!”

Slap.

I couldn’t figure out what happened because the room was being eroded by the darkness in an instant, but after the darkness had cleared up, I didn’t see the children who trying to kill me.

‘There is no mercy.’

“Heupppaaa.”

While he was dealing with the enemy, I worked hard and rolled around to reach the border of the giant cradle.

The mobile on the pole dances when I move.

‘Hey, look here!’

It’s look like he noticed that I was looking for him from the cradle, Dietrich didn’t go out right away and began to walk slowly toward me.

‘Uh, He’s coming!’

“Hpa!”

Dietrich, who was facing me up close, was as beautiful as Camille I saw when I was kidnapped.

The appearance that looks pretty is better than the feeling of being handsome because he’s still a child.

His dark round eyes looked soft like the night curtain.

However, the thing that got in my mind was his eyes looked mature when our gaze meet.

‘Why is the child’s eyes like that?’

The eyes that can’t be found, such as the shimmering dying blackness, kill people.

“Ppa!”

I want to spoke out to my brother, but my oral structure hasn’t been able to make such a delicate word.

So I reached out to Dietrich, who was looking down at me.

“Ppa!”

As I saw it, my white and plump hands were very cute, but I didn’t notice any change in Dietrich’s expressions.

“What?”

“Pa” (Oppa/Brother!)

Looking at the aura, nothing changed. Dietrich’s aura has been gray since the moment he entered the room.1

The aura with an achromatic texture that seemed to have no saturation was the kind I first saw.

Of course, I’m still a baby, so I haven’t met so many people.

“Noisy.”

I grabbed Dietrich’s hand which rested on the fence around my cradle.

His hand was still small, but my hand was more small that it wasn’t even that half.

His hands are very warm for a child who emits a gray aura.

Tak!

Dietrich frowned and struck my hand.

“What are you doing?”

‘What are you doing? I’m afraid of holding your hand!’

If you were an ordinary baby, you would cry around this time, but I wasn’t an ordinary baby, and he wasn’t an ordinary brother.

If I cry, it may be noisy and he’ll kill me.

So I smiled in the room and took Dietrich’s hand again.

According to an introduction to psychology, which I studied hard in my previous life, the effect of this small skinship is greater than I thought.

When I received the money, I touched the customer’s hand, and the tips for the cafe clerk increased.2

“Pa!” (Oppa/Brother)

“Who is your brother?”

I stretched out the hand that was holding his hand at Dietrich’s question.

Don’t forget to laugh too.1

“Ppaaa!” (Oppa/Brother)

“… Is it me?”

Dietrich frowned at the eyebrows after realizing that he was the one I was calling.

Why is a child so impressed with that? I am worried that there will be wrinkles on his forehead.

Dietrich, who was staring at me, opened his mouth to tell me what to do.+

It was at that moment that the door-which wasn’t normally opened-was opened.

As soon as the person comes in, the air quickly becomes heavy. It was an aura that was so strong that the baby’s body couldn’t bear it.

‘Derreck LaGrange’

I had an idea who was in the room without looking at the door.

Chapter 3

“What are you doing here, Dietrich?”

Dereck LaGrange’s voice was so low to be called a human voice.

I exhaled as I watched his dark red aura gnaw the air in the room.

‘Urghh. Huh. I’m choking!’

I wanted to open the window, but I couldn’t even get out of the cradle.

‘How many human in the world have auras like that?’

Derreck LaGrange’s aura was terrible beyond words.

It was all like cruelty, sadistic pleasure, anger, and jealousy that mingled together to transform into a reddish lump that was no longer in the form of fog but had become a lump of thick mud.

This is not a situation that involves anyone. What do you usually think about?

“I was just carrying out the conditions.”

“Hm? Yes? Who is that baby?”

‘That? Look at that? What am I?’

I squeezed my toes to the fullest extent in Derreck’s words.

‘Ughh Ughh! bad guy!’

“….. the daughter of Camille LaGrange.”

Dietrich responded calmly to Derreck’s question. It is an attitude that he has nothing to do with me or Camille.

“Camille? Who was Camille?”

Derreck was silent as if trying to remember who Camille was among more than thirty “wives”.

I was stunned by his actions, and a laugh came out.

“Oh! Are you referring to the battle slaves I bought from the slave market?”

“…Yes, that’s right.”

“But why can’t I see her?”1

“She died giving birth to a child.”

Dietrich announced the death of his biological mother. Derreck raises his eyebrows as if he had no idea at all.

“Oh, my money wasted.”2

‘Crazy bastard’

I was glad I couldn’t speak now. If it weren’t, the unbearable curse would have jumped out from my lips.

That’s not what the father said in front of child who lost his mother.

But Derreck LaGrange was a human with no such common sense.

“Well, one successor candidate ran away, so he had to pay it.”

He sat down, looking down coldly at Dietrich, who jumped at his words.

“But the first thing that dies of LaGrange’s children is the ones who are be candidates as fast as you.”

He said it like Dietrich would die quickly.

“If you’re useless, don’t eat the food and hurry to death.”

You just say something like a beggar that can’t understand with his head even if he listen.

“Yes, I will keep it in my mind.”

When Derreck heard Dietrich’s answer, He left without even looking at my cradle.

When I stared at Derreck’s back, I fold my finger hard and pulled out the middle finger.2

‘Eat or be eaten!’

Of course, my hand in the cradle won’t be visible to Derreck who has already gone out. But it just for the sake of expressing my feelings.

‘Well, there is a people like that.’

No matter how bad the novel was, Derreck was more bad.

Besides, I’m not ‘Anissa Euclid’ who pretending to be ‘Anissa LaGrange’.

In addition to being able to look good in front of Dietrich, I also had to avoid Derreck’s eyes.

The ability without attack power like me wasn’t necessary for LaGrange, so he could cut my neck.

“… Is your hand broken?”

“Hey!”

Dietrich who came to me suddenly looked my finger. He stared in astonishment at me who looked scared while clenched my fists.

“I can’t feel it.”

Dietrich put a hand on my forehead and muttered the spell with a small voice. It was like exploring my abilities.

Of course my power wasn’t sloppy enough to get caught up in such search magic.

By the way, does that mean he who is only six years old already uses magic?

‘I’m going to die.’

Dietrich looked at me indifferently and shortly evaluated.

‘No, I’m not going to die!’

“Ppa!” (Oppa/Brother)

I grabbed his hand again and laughed.

Somehow I would dig into your shadow and survive.

***

What do you do if you decide to look good in Dietrich’s eyes so you can survive in LaGrange but can’t see the child at all.

After saving me once from the crisis, Dietrich didn’t show me his black hair.

“Papa. Mama ah?”

“It’s noisy.”

I asked Lancel where is Dietrich, but he couldn’t understand what I was saying.1

He grumbled to the bottle in my mouth.

“Pue!”

I haven’t raised a baby, so I don’t know well. But, why don’t you feed me with the milk well?

The bottle that Lancel gave was cold and couldn’t be chewed. It’s because LaGrange is a very cold northern land.

‘Sure. Are you trying to freeze the bottle on purpose? ‘

“I’m tired with life anyway.”

Lancel mumbled as he looked at me sucking the bottle sideways. It was too cold, but I was too hungry.

Um. Maybe it was on purpose.

If the day comes when I capture Dietrich’s heart and exercise power in LaGrange, you must be fired.

I looked at Lancel who was staring at me and he laughing as if I was pathetic.

“Papo!” (bad guy)

He didn’t know whether I was insulting or not so Lancel just laughed and said that I was looking more stupid.

‘But it’d be nice to make him on my side.’

He was quite unkind to me, but he was the only one who often brought in a frozen bottles in my room.

“It’s annoying and I’m going to die.”

I never missed his complaints.

Lancel is a self-talking person, so I was able to grasp the internal situation of LaGrange with his lament.

Currently, there are a total of ten ‘candidates’ in LaGrange. No, it was ten.

I remember the two people who were beaten by Dietrich from Lancel’s words. Two of them are brothers who always act together, they lose the game and disappear.

‘No, they wouldn’t have been so easy if they’re was a candidate.’

The remaining candidates were eight, Dietrich-who was only six years old-was the youngest.

The children who were selected as candidates had the lowest survival rate. The game that they have to take part in is far more dangerous than games for kids who aren’t candidates.

‘Of course Dietrich will win.’

Surviving as the candidate game would have made it possible to be the Grand Duke of LaGrange.

Dietrich was only 17 years old.

He was the youngest in history to sit in the seat as a Grand Duke of LaGrange. In other words, he’s a psychopath who killed his brothers and fathers in such a young age.

‘Well, there are all such crazy succession methods.’

Believe it or not, that was how to become a Grand Duke of LaGrange.

LaGrange consolidated the position of the strongest family in the Empire with the motto get rid of the weak ones.

After raising dozens of children, the strongest and most brutal child succeeds to the next succession.

Children with little or no humanity remain in the candidate stage.

‘I can’t find a sibling who can share affection.’

I wanted to make a friend to play with dolls together, but it was impossible in this damn house.

Of course, if I gave up the succession, I could hold my life on condition that I would serve my family forever. That is the way to be laughed by people around me, including my brother and other.

‘It’s important to live, Are other people’s views important?’

I will give up succession as soon as I can talk.

I had an idea it was like saying that I would live as a slave to LaGrange until my death.

‘To do that, you have to get close to Dietrich!’

“Papapapa!”

“Are you bored?”

Lancel took me out of the cradle and dropped me on the floor, but even if I seem bored, I don’t know what her standards regarding my behavior.

Now, I can stand and crawl. But Lancel locked me in a cradle with pure motives for her convenience.2

If I mess around in the room, will I only increase her work?

“Then you’re playing. I’m busy, so I have to go.”

I know you’re not going to take care of me, so bad!

But I smiled and waved to Lancel, saying like I didn’t know anything.

“Pppaaa!”

Well, it’s possible for Lancel to come out like that because it’s annoying for her to taking care of me.

I didn’t miss the moment Lansell left my room, and I put a toy in between the doorways.

As soon as I noticed her distant footsteps, I put my head through the gap in the door between my rattles.

“Yess. Yess.”

Pong! (The fart sound.lol)

Oops, I gave it so much that it farts.

But it was okay because no one was in the hallway.

I am not a precious princess in this house, but I am still a princess too, and I can’t do it anywhere.

When I was born and left the room for the first time, I went to the hallway and turned my head from side to side to find Dietrich’s aura.

“Eungg, eunggg.”

I’m not used to walking yet, so I feel like I’m a dog.

‘Is Dietrich will be there too?’

LaGrange was a large family of more than a dozen children and wives, and even over one hundred people were counted when they lived.

Naturally, the noble castle was insanely wide.

But I knew where Dietrich often goes.

I ran out in search for Dietrich without hesitation. Oh no.

I do not know who he buried in the ground.
