“I’m not certain, having you here, maybe it is possible, but...”, the duke said.

“But what?”

“If swapping a soul, we’re talking about, you should be a powerful mage or a powerful magician or maybe a goddess. Doing that is beyond the rules of life.”

“But...”

“And I am sure, as a father of Zenniah, she will never do that. And as I said before, we’re just humans, we don’t have any power to do magic, I am certain of that”, the duke was firm in his claim.

She can’t refute the duke about that.

“It was so late now, if you want to continue these conversations, we can talk tomorrow again” the duchess interrupted.

“No!”

The duke and duchess are stunned by her reply.

“I mean, once in for all, I want to say everything. I don’t want to be rude, but I am already here talking the truth to both of you. So, I will continue what I want to say”, she said firmly.

“So please allow me...” she added.

A couple of minutes of silence before the duke spoke.

“I guess, you have plenty to say.”

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

“Yes...”

“Then go ahead.”

“I know it was awkward to call both of you my parents, but I will try my best to call you father and mother and be respectful same as your eldest daughter. I promise I will take good care of this body, but I will not give up searching on how I will be going back to my own world. I already told you that I am a leader of a dangerous clan in my world”, she looks at them straight ahead without batting an eye.

“As long as I am here, in the name of my whole clan. I Hennah Von Richett will be Zenniah from this day onwards. I will make sure to protect this family with all my might. I will not allow anyone to mock or disrespect this family. If there is, I apologize in advance, but I am a cruel person”, she added.

“And father, mother, I will tell you what I hated the most. The one shi*** word I hated the most was, the word ‘betrayal’.”

“...”

The duke who’s listening to her can’t say a word.

“A lot of people betrayed your father, my love”, the duchess spoke suddenly with sadness in her tone.

“Then, it’s natural for all of them to be punished”, she replied.

“It’s not that easy”, the duchess replied.

“Who said it will be an easy mother?”, she smirked.

“Father, for two weeks of observing, I can say that both of you were so kind. Kind enough to be fooled by the others.”

“...”

“But not me! I will make sure to come back to those people who betrayed you father. But first, allow me to start in this mansion.”

“What do you mean by that?”, the duke broke his silence.

“You didn’t know, because you are busy person and mother was also busy taking care of the twins. If you have that special ability you inherited, then so am I. I inherited this ability from my father, the ability to sense betrayal. I have a stronger smell than normal people, I can smell people who betray me.”

“...”

“But since, I am now in a different body. My sense is kind of low, but I can assure you it’s accurate.”

“And in this mansion, have a lot of disloyalty I smelled”, she added.
