Why Does My Baby Have To Be A Villain?

As Noah began to learn to write, he gradually discovered the joy of learning.

First my name, then the Duke’s name.

Finally, his own name and the names of the handmaidens.

Eventually, beyond that…

“Rita!”

“Oh my gosh, sir. Why are you doing that?”

He even memorized the names of other common maids and servants.

Of course, everyone was laughing at Noah’s cuteness, and thanks to this, the duke was in a jolly mood for a while.

Noah seems to be the first child to enjoy learning.

When I was his age, I hated studying! During the study, I used to pick up a pen and ran around in time to play!

Children at his age are slacking away, but Noah was really different from the other kids.

As time went on, his abilities were so great that everyone is full of praise for him.

Eventually, Noah learned all the letters and was gradually able to read a whole storybook on his own.

And it was a morning as usual.

“…… Sister.”

Noah, who was reading a fairy tale by my side, approached me cautiously.

As I was writing down the duke’s budget, I put down my glasses and looked away at Noah. Noah continued before I could answer.

“If you learn the swordsmanship, can you become like this knight?”

With a question, he held out to me the fairy tale he was reading.

Sure enough, in a children’s book, there was a picture of a knight defeating a dragon.

It was a rather childish scene for me, but I wondered if it had a big ripple in Noah’s mind… He looked at me with a characteristic sparkle in his eyes.

“Mmm.”

I smiled worriedly, wondering how to answer.

Isn’t Noah, who is still ten years old, too fast to learn the sword?

Even in the original story, I learned it after entering the academy.

He also gains the attribute of being a demon inspector at the academy and begins to create the flow of the novel in earnest…

What, is that okay? It’s quick to learn anyway, so it didn’t hurt to learn in advance.

“Do you have a teacher in your mind?”

“My sister will take care of it.”

Noah smiled broadly and held out a storybook to me.

Maybe he wants someone as cool as the knight in the book to be a teacher.

Oh, so cute.

After all, children are different from their ideas.

“Yes, your sister will take care of it.”

You’ll soon become a swordsmanship master, a soon-to-be magic master, and even conquer a sword that will help you become great in the future.

Ho ho, look forward to it.

I would make Noah more perfect, more perfect than Lucas the Crown Prince.

So…… How much time had passed?

At Noah’s request, I hurriedly finished drafting the budget and searched for candidates for the swordsmanship teacher through the Information Guild.

They were all brilliant people, and occasionally members of the Imperial Knights were seen.

There are a lot of people who are looking for disciples…

Countless parchments passed through my hands, and countless letters stayed in the corners of my eyes, but in the end, no one was attracted.

They’re all great people, but they’re lacking somewhere.

Hiring these elusive people as Noah’s teachers betrays my pledge to make him better than Lucas.

Ha, guess what.

Who the hell Noah hired to be his teacher?

And it was a moment when my mind heated up with deepening concerns.

Knock it off.

“Rogent.”

A familiar voice greeted me with a knock. It was Duke.

“What’s going on?”

I made sure the Duke was at a time he didn’t usually come by, so I hurriedly got up to my desk and ushered him around the table.

At the same time, it’s not surprising…….

“Noah wants a swordsmanship master, right?”

Apparently the story reached the Duke.

The Duke told me as he took a sip of the black tea that the maids had placed on the table.

“You invested quite a bit in the Information Guild.”

“Yes, he must be special because he is the one who will be Noah’s teacher in the future.”

The problem is that everyone is somewhere in between.

Oh, he usually uses connections between nobles to have a good person as his teacher, but Rosents has no spiritual connections with the uninhabited…

Had this dark thought touched the Duke, the Duke replied, setting down his teacup.

“Yes? Then you don’t need my connections.”

“Yes?”

The Duke said with characteristic playfulness.

“If my daughter asks … I’m going to contact the Marquis of Erise.”

Marquis Erise? Are you referring to the Knights Templar of the Imperial Knights of Manon?

“Do you know him?”

“We’ve done some old business together.”

“Oh my gosh.”

That’s great! Then you can ask the Marquis for a teacher, or get a recommendation for a character!

I smiled broadly at the situation and clapped my hands in satisfaction.

But the Duke said firmly, as if it was too early to rejoice.

“Instead.”

Minister?

“It seems like it’s urgent for Noah to make friends his age.”

Oh boy.

I once hardened on the duke’s bait.

“What if they bully him…?”

“Noah needs to expand his network little by little.”

“But Noah has me.”

“It’s one thing to take care of yourself, it’s another to make friends your age.”

At the Duke’s words, I sighed and stepped back.

The Duke was right.

No matter how much I take care of Noah, the age barrier cannot be ignored.

Usually, children of Noah’s age follow their mother to a casual tea party and experience the social world first. Our Noah doesn’t have a mother.

However, as a single woman, I cannot hang out in a place where married women gather.

Besides, I haven’t even made my debut yet.

“If you’re a peer friend, who’s good?”

“Isn’t there Count Maril’s second son?”

“Are you talking about Popini’s brother?”

The Duke nodded instead of answering.

‘Popini Marill.’

Rosent’s best friend and Rosent’s only interlocutor who doesn’t go out very well in social circles.

She has a younger brother named Mack, who is five years younger than Noah, although he is a year older than Noah… Some of the people around me were Noah’s age.

Yes, as the Duke said, let’s ask Popini.

Maybe Mack can teach Noah a lot as an older brother.

Hopefully you can create a good academy motivation ahead of time.

Above all, Popini is a bright person with a very docile personality and a lot of chatter.

Mack might have emulated that older sister’s tendencies.

The Duke consulted me about Noah in various ways, and left the room to go to work before lunchtime.

Well, first of all, Noah’s swordsmanship master and his peers should solve it like this…

“Annie, bring stationery and shilling.”

I have to write a letter to Popini after a long time.

“Rose!”

A lively voice came to me, matching the sunny weather.

The day after Popini’s letter, she visited the duke.

Of course, even a little boy named Mac who follows her.

“Hello, Poppy.”

“Aw……! Rose, I missed you so much!”

She grasped my hands and waved them in delight. Popini’s blonde hair swayed profusely.

Popini didn’t take his eyes off me, then lowered her gaze downwards in response to the sudden gaze.

And that was the moment.

“Oh my God!”

With a small exclamation, Popini leaned down.

“You’re Noah, aren’t you? You’re so small!”

“Hello…….”

“You’re missing a baby tooth and having trouble in your pronunciation? How cute!”

At Popini’s aggressive response, Noah looked a little tired and hid behind me.

But she couldn’t miss it, patting Noah on the head roughly, “Ah!” He sighed and pushed Mack, who was hiding behind him, toward Noah.

“Mack, say hello. He’s Rose’s brother.”

It was a quick move.

And to such a speedy act……

“Hmph.”

Mac snorted, giving Noah a look of some sort of defiance.

Is it a child’s flag fight that adults don’t know?

“…….”

I held back a small burst of laughter at the rather cute Mac’s reaction. Then he lowered his head and stroked Noah’s head.

Then Noah made a small whimper and enjoyed my touch.

“Hehe.”

Eventually, Noah expressed his affection for me with a silly smile on his face.

I said, pinching his cheek weakly at Noah’s appearance.

“Noah, they are your sister’s valued guests. Be nice.”

“My sister’s guest?”

“Yes, guest.”

Noah let out a small smirk at my words, and then he leaned his cheek against my hand with a characteristic smile.

“Good to know!”

But that was the moment.

“Hmph, I’m not friends with orphans.”

Kung.

My heart raced, and my fingertips trembled.

Popini hurriedly covered Mack’s mouth with his hand to rectify the situation, but soon Mack wriggled and left Popini’s hand and shouted:

“I’m a high-ranking nobleman. There’s no reason to be friendly with an orphan!”

“Mac!”

Popini’s face began to turn white.

At the same time, the atmosphere of the Duke Pavilion froze, and a faint chill settled between us.

“…….”

I stopped stroking Noah’s cheek and looked at Mack. Mac flinched a little and shouted again.

“You know princess, don’t you? No matter how good an orphan is, he can’t be treated as a prince!”

“Mack, stop…….”

“It’s weird! Why my sister, and the princess is not behaving like an aristocrat!”

Mac said evilly.

“How is that a member of the Agrinda family?”

Eventually, Mac’s cry reached the handmaidens and began to form a whisper.

He was right.

No matter how adoptive he was, the public had not yet appointed Noah as Confucius.

On the contrary, the cozy atmosphere of the Duke seemed more bizarre to Mack.

“…… Mac.”

As Mack’s remarks grew sharper, Popini’s complexion grew paler.

She seemed embarrassed by her brother’s remarks, and her mind seemed to go white.

I was stupid for thinking Mack’s actions were a child’s flag fight.

The chill of the Duke’s air finally frightened Noah lowered his eyebrows and burrowed into my arms.

“Sister…….”

And it was simultaneous.

“What does orphan means?”

This was the day Noah was pointed at for the first time.
