A mute duchess and a cold-hearted emperor - the child I picked up in a previous life had become an e

"Eleonora has been ordered by her husband to attend a ball at the Imperial Castle today."

An ungrateful middle-aged woman dressed in a fine dress tells Eleonora, the owner of the house, whether or not she enters the brick building of a small bungalow without saying hello.

Eleonora is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Plupreus, before the founding of the Willides Empire, a beautiful woman with blonde waves and purple eyes.

As is often said, by her stepmother, who is jealous of her beauty, she lives alone in a poor, small mansion. Incidentally, this mansion was once built to isolate the Duke who suffered from an incurable infectious disease.

In addition to the ancient majestic main building, the town house of the Duke of Pulpleus in the Imperial Capital has two small annexes, old and new, but Eleonora was raised by her stepmother. Regular servants take care of things, and tutors are also attached to them.

Eleonora leaned her hands against her cheeks in trouble when she heard she had to go to the ball.

"... yes"

The grumpy maid from the main building instantly stunned to the strange tone of tone emanating from Eleonora, but instructed the young maids brought with them with a small cough with the coffees.

"You guys, get ready for Eleonora."

And turn to Eleonora again.

"When you are ready, please wait in the main hall. Please make sure you don't make mistakes to keep your husband waiting."

It would surprise anyone outside the Mansion to see a maid who is nothing more than a senior servant taking such a arrogant attitude towards the Duchess. But it was quite normal for Eleonora. Therefore, I don't care at all, and I didn't care.

The dress was bright red and flashy with a skirt that would have been naughty and vulgar for a normal lady. This may also be part of the harassment, but Eleonora's beauty and presence are enhanced when she wears it. When she was ready, she went to the main building alone and waited in the hall for her father, stepmother and half-sister.

After a while, Sofia, her half-sister, came down the big staircase in front of her and saw Eleonora, staring at her and throwing a fan. However, she grabbed the fan with her hands without moving at all.

"Hey, why are you going to the ball?

……

Eleonora, who was severely disciplined not to speak more than necessary, wondered how she would have responded.

(Damn it. I don't think Ola will go to the castle today wearing such beautiful clothes. I don't care if you suddenly tell me.

If Eleonora doesn't think carefully and say something, a very accented word will come out of her mouth in her old habits.

Yes, Eleonora had a memory of her past life.

She has had a vivid memory of her previous life since she was born. However, he behaved like a baby as much as he could, saying he shouldn't worry about his new parents. Such an effort would be futile, and as a strange baby she would be disgusted not only by her parents but also by her nanny. Still, I lived in the main building until my mother died. That said, parents are not directly involved in raising children. This is quite normal in the upper classes.

Her mother died before she was two years old, and soon her late wife was greeted. That is the present stepmother Anna. Eleonora, who was very similar to her ex-wife, was expelled into a small mansion and treated as evil.

He is nevertheless the first daughter of the Duke. In order not to be ashamed of my wife, I was taught only manners and academics by a tutor. Dancing, embroidery and instruments are no problem for the Duchess.

However, words alone could not be corrected. You have to admire it. When I first spoke at the age of one, it was just words, so I didn't get suspicious. However, in two or three sentences, the accent could not be concealed.

It was the caretakers who were in a hurry. The Duchess said, "I don't want to eat. You want some? If you say so, you might get necked instead of getting paid less. Though I was thoroughly investigated as to why I was accepting in the first place, there was nothing to say to the Duke's servants in the countryside. After all, the cause remains unknown, but measures should be taken.

So the maids and teachers trained them to think in their minds and speak out before they spoke.

Thanks to the training, I will not utter any accent at the tea party. And because she tried not to speak as much as she could, Eleonora became known as the quiet beauty of the Duke's house.

(Damn it. It was rumored that the Emperor's dance would bring out good things from all over the country. Ola, I can't stand eating good things in front of my eyes. I just ate it. It's tough being a lady!

Eleonora sighed and looked sad, but in fact she only thought about cooking dirty.
