Chapter 72
Fake “Heroine”
Lake Mel, the largest lake in the Kingdom of Cleydale, and its surrounding area was a land of scenic beauty.
The Viscount Mercis, a branch of the Melrose family that ruled the area under the direct jurisdiction of the Melrose family, was to adopt a certain girl as their adopted daughter that day.
“Miss Alicia, the house is in sight. Are you tired?
“Yes, I’m fine! Thank you!
The girl called Alicia answered the young butler’s words with a big smile on her face.
She had golden hair with a hint of red. Her almost black blue eyes showed a strong will and enhanced the loveliness of the girl, who was only 10 years old.
“That mansion will be my home, right?
Alicia’s eyes lit up when she saw the large mansion by the lake that could be seen from inside the carriage.
For a noblewoman, she looked even younger than she acted and spoke.
A noble would have been trained in magic from an early age to increase her magic value, and her appearance would have grown two to three years faster than that of a commoner, but Alicia’s appearance was really only that of a commoner, a ten-year-old child.
There was a reason for her young appearance.
