I Grabbed the Tyrant’s Heart

ted in the northernmost part of the Northern Empire.
It has been a famous exile from time immemorial.

I couldn’t figure out exactly what was wrong.
No, my body was moving forward before I could even figure out what the problem was.

“Your Majesty, just me alone!”

Father, who grabbed me as I stepped forward, carefully closed my mouth and answered.

“Which father would abandon his daughter?”

I struggled with all my might, but this small body could not stand up to an adult man.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

For the first time in this world, I cried because of my new family.
I don’t treat you like my parents, so why are you doing this for me?

Hearing a wheezing sound, Father lowered the hand that had covered my mouth and hugged me tightly.
I wanted to tell him something.

However, the only thing I could do was slap my father on the shoulder, as I was speechless.

Mother, who approached me, whispered, “Euel, you’ll hurt yourself,” and gently squeezed my hand.

A cold command fell from behind.

“Is anyone there!”

Immediately, the door opened and a man entered, and the Emperor had him write down his orders.
What is written down means that it is an Imperial Order.

The contents were:

[ Members of House Hardland should leave the Empire and depart for Varen.
]

The deadline is in one month.

* * *

Varen, in one month.
Considering the size of the family, we would never make it.

This treatment was like a crime of treason, although he did not cast Father out as Duke Hardland.

Father protested against this order, but the Emperor’s will was firm, and no Duke took the side of our family.
This means that they, too, inwardly agreed with the imperial order.

“It’s because of me…….”

I was crouching in the watchtower where I used to hide from Tess while everyone was busy packing things.

I didn’t see him, but Tess had changed, and the Emperor chose me as the cause.
Even my parents couldn’t deny it.

“So, the cause is me.”

What the hell was the problem?

Although the three Duchies were in favor of expelling our family, the Emperor did not give a clear reason for expelling our family.

So, the families below the Marquisate were in an uproar.

Moreover, since we got forcibly expelled, there is a high probability that the imperial power will be shaken.
Because it causes distrust in the subjects.

What was the reason for the Emperor to try to chase me away?

By now Father will be handing out the estate to his vassals and employees.
He could not take any privates with him to Varen, and there were few people who would follow him to such a distant place.

Even so, the people who worked in our family for a long time wanted to follow, but not all of them could join us.

– It’s okay, Euel.
It will be fun to live in a new environment.

– Varen is a snowy area, isn’t it? It is a place covered with snow all year round, so Mother is very excited.

My parents comforted me, but I know everything.

“Why did I reincarnate here?”

While my mind still misses the world of my previous life, my body has adapted to this place.

“Miiiissss! Miss Eusenieeellllll, where are you!”

May’s voice is heard from afar.
She is one of those who decided to go to Varen with us.

I wiped the tears from my cheeks and fanned my face.
I’m sure May and my parents will be sad to see my messed up face, so let’s pretend I don’t know anything, pretend I’m six.

It made me even more depressed that this is all I can do now.

“Miss, you have a visitor.
It’s nice to meet him, so why don’t you smile?”

At this time?

Who? It can’t be Tess, who is there?

“Euel.”

“Ethyl?”

The boy, one head taller than me, looked nervous, unlike his usual cheerful yet serious appearance.

“Euel.”

Ethyl approached me and hugged me tightly.

“I’m sorry, Euel.
I can’t help you.”

“No, Ethyl.
It’s not your fault.”

It’s a lie if I don’t have any resentment towards Duke Bonart, who was close to Father, but it’s not something Ethyl should apologize for.

“No.
If Father had taken the Duke’s side, such a terrible thing…..”

The dazzling brown eyes were filled with sadness.
