“Something that fits the big awesome pup you are going to grow up to!” she doubted something silly would fit well in this environment, if the word damn was enough to warrant such reaction from the old hag, how would stuck up nobles react if she introduced her dogs with a name like Spot?

  “Hey that’s not food” Veronique suddenly said.

  One of her dogs started chewing on her hair and she had to fish them out, then she had an Epiphany as she caught sight of her red hair.

  Such shade as many others wasn’t a thing in her past life, but it reminded her of something.

  “Ah I got it since my hair is red like soil of Mars” Veronique didn’t even know if Mars was a thing here, but she wasn’t bothered by such thing at the moment.

  She would probably look it up later.

  Maybe.

  “You two will be my moons, Phobos and Deimos!”

  “Bos and Mos for short!” Veronique proudly declared with a laugh as her dogs jumped on her with excitement

  “I knew you would love them” she said as they licked her face “Now let’s just spend the day playing”

  “So, we can forget about that dreadful old Hag” she added with an irritated look on her face, which turned to confusion as a question popped in her head “Which now that I think about it, who the heck was she and that child?” her brain came up with a blank as on who those people where, maybe some minor nobles in visit?

  “The old Hag called her lady Rhea” she tried to force her way into some kind of revelation but she just couldn’t.

  “Mhhhh” she hummed as she felt like the information she wanted was just around the corner, like an answer to a very simple question on a test.

  The kind of answer that normally one would be able to answer at the tip of a hat, but that just doesn’t come to you when you really need it so you end up giving the wrong one and fail.

  ‘I feel like I forgot something’ Veronique thought, just then Mos licked her ear bringing her back in the moment

  “Oh well it mustn’t have been important if I can’t remember it!” she basically jumped at the chance to play with her dogs.

  “Let’s play!” Veronique declared with a grin, unbelievably happy that this will be how she will spend her new life despite still missing the commodities of her past life.

  The Next Day

  “The Duke has requested your presence in the study” a middle-aged man in black butler suit had greeted her in her room, just as she came back from her breakfast.

  “What why?” Veronique was confused, she doesn’t remember doing anything that should warrant such thing

  “Something about being extremely vulgar to young lady Rhea and Miss Hawkings?” the man explained with a scolding and disapproving tone.

  That’s the moment something clicked in Veronique’s brain and she remembered who Rhea was.

  The main lead.

  Her little sister, who was extremely favored by the Duke, aka her father

  The same one she lightly swore near just yesterday.

  “Oh, I fucked up” it was all Veronique could say about her current situation.

  “May I suggest you stop using such lowly language?” the butler had said with barely restricted anger in his voice, which in turn had irritated Veronique

  “What’s the big deal? I am in my room, not at the presence of his Majesty or something like that” she said, after all she was in her room, and if she couldn’t outright curse in her own room then what was the point? Nobody was going to hear her anyway.

  “What’s the big deal she says” the man took offense, his face going so red Veronique was half expecting it to blow up from the intense pressure.

  This was why cursing was an important part of human nature.

  “Are you okay Mr Butler? you look extremely constipated” Veronique made a little fun of him

  “I am Mr Jerkings! My family has served this illustrious family for generations” Mr Jerkings was basically gritting his teeth like a dog with rabies.

  It was quite amusing since he was also trying to keep his composure at the same time, so his body would be in a perfect butler position while his face was stuck in an enraged expression.

  “Okay, okay Mr Jerkings” Veronique said with a care then she couldn’t resist “the bathroom is over here” she pointed with wave towards it.

  “A noble must keep an impeccable behavior at all times” Mr Jerkings had said, barely holding his voice from turning into a yell, the vein in his neck pulsing dangerously.

  “Ehm…that seems a little excessive” the redhead now was a little perplexed and backed a little as the man went into full rant mode and started advancing towards her.

  “I won’t let the illustrious house of Aurelia fall to ruin during my lifetime” the butler had declared with vigor

  “…okay?” Veronique didn’t even know what he was ranting about, she was just a child, how could she bring the fall of the illustrious house of Aurelia as he put it.

  Maybe it wasn’t a statement aimed directly at her.

  “You are bringing shame to this household!” Mr Jerkings proved her wrong

  “It was just a curse word in my room” Veronique really doesn’t understand what was the big deal, she can understand cursing in some kind of formal event would be bad, but why did she have to play pious lady even in her own private room?

  “Shame on the entire lineage of Aurelia!” he declared

  “You are being over dramatic” she pointed out as she ran out of space to back up.

  It was then when Mr Jerkings went too close to Veronique.

  Phobos and Deimos started barking and growling at the man, the child paled as the specter of their future death was playing out right before her.

  The sound of a sword getting out of a scabbard echoing in her ears like a death sentence.
