Joshua entered the room after receiving permission from his parents.
She stared at me for literally three minutes straight.
She grabbed my arm and started swinging me like I was his toy or something.
I can now understand the phrase of seeing stars above the head now.
The head maid, Martha, shrieked.
"It's not how you hold a baby, Sir," she yelled.
"This is how you hold a baby, like this, See? " she instructed.
"Like this? " he responded while holding me upside down.
"No, no!! " she screamed in disbelief.
"I'll teach you again. Now, look carefully."
Hello? I'm not a doll or a substitute where you can use me on your training programmes, I wailed.
I had to cry, I had to cry.
I get those nasty boogers while crying but had to do that without my wish.
1, 2, 3... NOW!!!
"WaaAAaaaAaHhhh"
It felt surprisingly good though.
Now everyone's attention was on me now.
That was originally what I wanted though.
Martha, the head maid, started cuddling me and glared at Joshua.
"How dare you act so difficult and brutal to such a cute and innocent baby. Grand duchess, I hope that you will take this matter in your consideration."
A cold sweat broke through Joshua's face.
" B-But I don't understand..?? what did I do wrong?" he stammered.
That's what you get when you offend a baby.
But then remembered what he did for Sienna in the actual novel, maybe I should save him but how?
Time to use my secret weapon again.
I looked at Martha with delicate and innocent eyes and as expected, her emotions changed in an instant.
I actioned Joshua to pick me up again and he looked confused.
I smiled cheerfully and started blabbing stupidly as babies do.
"Do--cha--pi-mm-o"
I'll translate, which meant, "Douche Bag pick me up."
Then again, those idiot unsophisticated siblings of mine came in.
This time unexpectedly, they knocked on the door.
Because of the grand duchess of course.
Reynord came rushing towards me and started crying buckets full of tears.
"I'm sorry sister dear, I didn't mean to let you faint like this, but it's really not my fault that I look so handsome. I know you were so stunned by my out of world beauty that you couldn't even take your eyes of me."
Such a narcissist.
There was an awkward silence in that room.
Everyone just blankly stared at Reynord.
"I really pity him," Joshua exclaimed shaking his head in dismay.
Katherine slammed her hand over her head.
"I can't believe he is my brother."
I saw the grand duchess and the duke laughing silently for the first time.
They made sure not to be noticed but nothing can escape from the eyes of a baby!
Days passed and we grew closer and closer to each other.
Even though everyone was busy, they made sure to take some time out throughout the day to play with me
Our fondness towards each other grew stronger.
And soon, it was my 5th birthday party.
