The Youngest Has Many Secrets

A young mage who once served as a child soldier suddenly recalls a past life and discovers this world is actually a doomed novel. To prevent the coming apocalypse, the strategy seems straightforward: stay close to the story’s destined hero and ensure his survival. Through clever maneuvering, the mage becomes the youngest adopted child in a duke’s family. However, complications arise—the hero despises mages, the narrator is a military deserter, and a case of mistaken identity forces them to live under a swapped-gender disguise. Now, it’s a daily balancing act of hiding the truth while secretly working to safeguard the hero, all while finding moments to enjoy strawberry cake. This is a warm yet chaotic story about a secretive youngest sibling with much to conceal.
