5 Years Old – J of Hearts (Part 1)

I don’t reh to understand things, I was already in an orphanage Even if I say an orphanage, the environ lots of children, the facilities and goods were both poor, and it was constantly a scra that ell in such a place was that I was good at stealing alike that, one day a turning point appeared to e He said he wanted to take custody of arments smiled at I as just skin and bones, covered in dust and rags

“What the hell are you doing after all this tiry nor hurt That kind of cute and clean spirit had probably died soo ‘Aahh, I can finally escape from this shi+thole…‘ This was e for the first tiether with the man who called hie, the ly, it seeet me was a noble Even if you say “Viscount Jade”, to someone like me who’s completely unrelated, I have absolutely no idea who that’s supposed to be, though My father, Mr noble, had in the past hid his status and dated my mother, a bar wench in the outskirts of town And then, ave birth to me, but because of his position, father couldn’t stay by our side Even bringing us into the estate was opposed by father’s s ended without hial wife and other children Despite his beautiful appearance, he’s loose in that area, huh Before long, my mother fell ill and passed away, and I as a dependent was left in the care of the orphanage, in other words

What happened just noas that at the sa e It seeuy’s wishes aside, to e into the house of a noble is cause for huge celebration

“Goodness! What a squalid child!”

Thewoal wife that he h I mean, I couldn’t enter the likes of a bath that often in the orphanage I was brought to the bath in the estate

After getting out fo the bath, I was e into soht to the other residents of this house Father, the flashy looking wo theirl a little older than er

“Let me introduce you This is your new family, Achille”

Father called me name

“This is hters Déborah and Désirée”

Adélaïde and Doust Unlike father, Dominique was quite fat I’m sure it’s because he has plenty of food to eat each day Though there was disdain apparent in with Déborah and Désirée’s gazes, they see them an amiable smile, the two of them turned red, and averted their eyes I see It seee I was ones of thewomen, so I was able to freely use both children and adults I can’t say that it’s coe I gratefully accepted s

Father trained ed about these manners I wasn’t used to, or my choice in words made me honestly think that it was a crock of shi+t, but it’d be a piss off to be made fun of by my step-mother and step-brother, so I earnestly htful enough to give ehly driven into me What I needed to study was siht up to what Do without a probleh But just when a to use this stuff? Or more like, what a to be succeeded by Do to ot to live so soh

After being called to Déborah’s roothat nasty secret of flutteringly covering her aze that fawned onto worry about, you know”

Wearing an intense perfuainst me as well The scent floats around, so I honestly wish she would stop The only thing they inherited from father was their hair colour, and they were similar to my step-mother They weren’t beauties, and their personalities were bad too But they’ll basically listen to whatever I say

“Right The second and third sons of nobles becohthood, orinto the wife’s fa adopted by the into power as well…”

Hmathered so, so let’s eat theether”

“I have a present for you too, Achille”

“Thank you, Déborah-oneesama, Désirée”

Déborah and Désirée blushed happily at me when I thanked them with a sht to have are convenient stepsisters, huh

Mn, getting ahead in life and cli too It’d be nice to see how far I can go, and I also want to see ant step-mother and step-brother’s faces warp in frustration when I rise above my current position For now, I’ll try irl that I want you to meet, Achille”

One day, after I had been taken into the viscount’s fa hohter of ic and is a very sirl I think you’ll like her too, Achille”

According tolady of the hter, and there doesn’t see born froht be somebody whose family I can marry into, like Désiréeher at the castle If I lead that young lady around by the nose, and find somebody in the castle as a connection fortwo birds with one stone

“I’ very forward to it, Father[/Chichiue]”

Happy with uy is the simplest to deal with
