Leblaine, 4 years old, is the "Child of Destiny" foretold by prophecy... or at least she will be, until the real one appears. How does she know this? Because she's returned from death; not once or twice, but three times! Leblaine is ready to run away to a peaceful life, but she needs some money first. And what better place to gather gold than the house of Duke Dubled, the richest villain in the empire? Getting in is easy for the Child of Destiny, so the rest should be simple enough... right?
