Became the Hated Illegitimate Son of the Duke in Romance Fantasy

7 – Episode 7

“Baby, I hate you so much.

I felt like she was the woman’s child and that I brought her to replace my son.

Of course, I brought it as Xenia’s doll, but….”

When Xenia brought us here, the red flowers in full bloom looked very bright.

And now it just looks like a red swamp that makes me sink.

“My daughter seems to really like her new toy.

Speaking of which, she pretended not to, but she must have been very curious about a toy that could be used as a substitute for her brother, who had gone without a trace.

Looking at how he kept saying things like this even though I cursed and made a fuss about not approaching him.

You pretended to be like that only in front of me.

For fear that someone will say that I am not like my father.”

After saying that, the woman gave a creepy laugh.

Even so, she was wearing a dark black dress, her red lips gently shut and glaring at me.

It’s unnecessarily long.

I can’t just ask you to tell me about business.

“But you can’t let a lowly slum slum like that vulgar prostitute hang around next to the heir to the Breslaus, can you?”

Even after saying that, she seemed to be worried about what could be done.

She then frowned as she thought of a solution.

“Yes, I will assign you a person, so you can build up your culture and acquire knowledge.

Even if I wanted to prevent her from meeting her, I couldn’t stick around and watch her all day.”

The woman crosses her arms in displeasure and snaps her fingers.

But she didn’t know anything but she looked at me and opened her mouth.

“Answer?”

“Okay.”

“Yes. Oh! If you’re all noble, you’ll have enough of this favor, but aren’t you half a penny?”

The woman said as if she wanted to ask a question.

While laughing out loud.

Two of her stalwart knights stood behind her, guarding her with long swords at her waist.

And they look down on me.

As if feeling pitiful or pitiful.

At least it wasn’t the eyes looking at a child.

“So what should I do?”

The woman only seemed excited when I chatted with her and chimed in.

Go to the garden, pick a red rose with thorns, and inhale the incense.

The thorns of roses look especially sharp and pointed.

“There is a price.”

Then he held out the rose to me.

“Please chew this rose carefully.

It would be great if you could even see it being swallowed.”

At those words, I took the rose and chewed the flower.

The scent should rise, but the disgusting smell of grass, flowers, and fishy shoots filled my mouth.

But he doesn’t show it.

The woman seemed like she would order someone to kick me right away.

The duke, the owner of the mansion, will be indifferent to what happens to me.

In the first place, rather than bringing me here because I wanted to find myself, I thought it was because I had an illegitimate child.

I don’t know, but it is said that those with commoner blood can never be equal to the poor.

Even if they say they are parents, if they have commoner blood mixed in, they think that they are just a talking doll that is good to use and resembles me.

Isn’t it better than you think if you eat roses for bullying?

Looking at Xenia, he didn’t seem to be thinking that way yet.

As long as he wanders around the mansion, listens to the maid, Ella, and pays attention to me too.

But soon he will become a typical villain in novels.

One of those aristocrats who ignore and trample on commoners and take it for granted that retaliation will never return.

I opened my mouth to mean that I had finished eating the roses.

Then the woman snatches the stem of her rose from my hand and throws it in her face and raises her hand to the sky.

“I told you to chew on the rose.

I didn’t say to take her stems apart.”

Pair!

The woman slapped me on the cheek.

Because it is the body of a child, it collapses in a rose field without strength.

A slight smell of manure and earth stung her nose.

And the thorns scratched all over my body and it stung me terribly.

For a moment, her emotions were so good that she thought about rushing at the woman, but she looked down at the knights standing upright behind her.

Actually, even if I threw myself, there’s no way I could beat a saint.

“Eat.

It’s a command.

And there’s no one here to help you, is there?”

The woman points to a thorn stem that has fallen to the ground.

I nodded her head…

Pair!

“Answer.”

“… Yes.”

Pair!

“Answers quickly.

Does stupid commoners have to be beaten to understand what they are saying?

A child named Ella is a commoner, but she understands her words very well.

Ah, is it because of the fallen nobles?

That’s why I guess I’m just doing all the chores for the lady-in-waiting outside the eyes of the maid.

Even though I ordered it.”

Pair!

Suddenly, my head starts to get dizzy.

Perhaps it was because her ears were hit, rather than a woman’s voice, her ears were filled with a beeping, grinding, tinnitus.

Anyway, if you see it pointing to the stem, you must eat it.

It seemed like he was looking at me and talking about something, but it didn’t seem that important.

The roses in this world were not at the level of having a few thorns.

Spikes as long as the knuckles of the index finger stood up sharply, as if they were about to be cut off if done wrong.

I wonder if my teeth are weak because I was young.

The thorns stabbed her gums, her tongue, and the roof of her mouth like crazy.

My mouth is full of iron taste.

“Swallow.”

At that word, I swallowed the stem.

I feel like my esophagus is tearing.

It must have been torn, not in the mood.

Even if you don’t open your mouth, the scent of blood rises thanks to the scratches on your body.

The bitter taste of roses and the fresh smell of grass made me nauseous for a moment, but I managed to persevere.

“My wife will not care what happens to you.

I’ve fed you, clothed you, and put you to sleep, so I won’t care what happens to you.

That kind of person.”

Pair!

“The idea that her son is dead and that her daughter misses her son and brings her illegitimate child back is the thought that came to anyone’s mind.

It was hard to kick your mother out of the mansion.”

Pair!

“Yes, since love was taken away, I must also seek revenge.

It’s not enough to kick them out of the mansion and into the slums.

Wouldn’t it be enough if I turned my child into a human who obeys my daughter and doesn’t say anything even when treated like a dog?

I ran all the way to that filthy slum.”

The woman started muttering something.

She is lost in the advent of her own imagination.

From her point of view, she looked like a crazy person.

“Hey, what do you think?

Why don’t you invite the heir to the Breslau family?”

Pair!

“I have to answer.”

“Eup, if you want.”

There is nothing I can do.

I begin to feel the same sense of helplessness I felt when I was beaten by the director at the orphanage.

The woman slaps me on the cheek and seems to be controlling the emotions that have risen. She exhales heavily, grabs my chin, and makes eye contact.

I was angry.

The fact that I can’t do anything.

If I spat out curse words like in the slums, I shut my mouth because I felt like those knights wearing knives would slash my body with a single knife.

She is starting to get fed up with herself.

Why was Eric born with such a weak body?

Will he ever grow up?

You’ve never been kicked in the knee.

I think the same thing.

“Yes, everything I want must come true. It should have come true.”

But there is nothing in the world where you can achieve what you want more than you think.

My mother said that it is natural for children and men not to listen, but….”

As she pricked herself on her thorns, she plucked a few more of her roses and threw them in front of me.

“Eat.”

And I chew them whole.

The unique bitter taste and aroma of roses, and the thorns pierce your mouth.

It was truly terrifying.

The sharp spikes pierce the gums that are still tender, cut the roof of the mouth, and pierce the tongue.

I have never wished for myself to be an adult as much as I do now.

I wonder why, why, I have to go through this.

You can’t question it.

A question that cannot find a solution pushes a person into the pit of despair.

“I’ll assign you a teacher starting tomorrow.

And play with Xenia when she comes, hehehe.”

Pair!

“Ugh..I see.”

“Yes, when I speak, you should answer.

Send it back to your room.”

A lot of blood flows from the corner of his mouth.

As if he had coughed up blood.

The woman ordered her knight to say so, and then began to leave leisurely to another place.

Her steps seemed so light that she felt good about slapping a small child on the cheek.

Yeah, this isn’t bad.

A delicious meal for breakfast.

I toured the beautiful rose garden there.

It’s not about getting slapped by a drunken pot-bellied, but about getting slapped by a woman obsessed with something in her and swallowing her roses.

It is clear that the taste has already gone, but it feels similar to drinking rotten water because there is no water to drink.

Now it must have been painful because of the scratches, but back then it just felt like swallowing poison.

This is good enough.

Yes, it is still worth living.

I reflected on those thoughts as the knight grabbed me by the back of my neck and dragged me along, dragging me into the room without resistance.

Positive hope torture is the driving force that allows you to live on its own.

The driver picked me up in the hallway and told me to go back to my room.

They may be looking at you with a little pity, but they must be thinking that it’s not their business.

I dragged my heavy body and started dragging my legs into the room.

It must have been twisted when he fell while being hit.

If you do this, you won’t be able to run away from the policeman when you go begging… Ah.

I didn’t even have to run away.

They give you food even if you just sit down.

Night comes without fail.

It wasn’t that the cold wind had penetrated the shack, but it was cold.
