The warmth in my father’s voice and the solid strength of his arms, which seemed to support me so warmly, were comfortable and peaceful. However, it shouldn’t be like this.
I shook my head and said,
“I told you, I’ll protect you.”
Listening to my father’s voice, I thought it was quite peculiar.
Our pure and goodhearted father, whom I should be protecting, was a really strange man. He had blue veins in his hands, even though he was not a warrior.
Could it be because he had been farming for a very long time? Or perhaps because the Mirumod family was known for their remarkable physical abilities, he might have inherited that trait.
I poked the vein on my father’s hand and giggled mischievously.
My father, who had been silent until then, spat out his words as if to emphasize.
“Our daughter. Can’t even speak properly.”
The reason I can’t speak properly is just because my physical ability is lower than my peers.
But I couldn’t say such a thing to my father. I sighed deeply inside and shook my head.
That’s when it happened.
“Right, Cien? Isn’t it?”
There was a hint of laughter in my father’s voice. He seemed to find this situation amusing.
It was so frustrating. I pounded on my tiny chest with my clenched fist and shouted,
“That, that’s… The other kids are all like that. Anyway, I’ll protect you!”
I shook my head back and forth as I replied. Each time I shook my head, my chubby, potatolike cheeks shook vigorously.
Deep sigh.
My father, who was standing behind me, squeezed my cheeks and said,
“Just live happily like any other normal child, my daughter.”
Leaning against my father’s sturdy back, I sighed deeply once again. Watching my sigh scatter, it felt like our sorrowful and pitiful future was unfolding.
‘No. This is the villain’s family, so my kind father can’t protect me.’
Our innocent father, how will he survive in this harsh world? I looked up at my father with a gaze full of worry. But my father still looked serious.
“Understand?”
“Huu.”
There was nothing I could do but agree with my father’s passionate voice.
If I didn’t act like a child, our father, although he wouldn’t make it obvious, looked a bit sulky. It seemed hard for him to see me losing my childlike innocence.
For instance, there was a time in the past when I wouldn’t eat carrots and was picky about food. At that time, my father named each carrot friend with great disappointment. He made me say goodbye to those friends that were being discarded, in a choked voice.
‘Bye, carrot friends. Ha!’
‘……Do I really have to do this?’
‘Yep. If you don’t say goodbye to the carrots, the carrots will hurt.’
‘Hu…… This is hard. Bye Carrots.’
Remembering the dark past when I had to greet the carrots to preserve my adult father’s innocence, I reluctantly opened my mouth.
“Ung.”
“You are beautiful, my daughter.”
It was at that very moment when the two of us were having a conversation.
The door, which had been draped like a dark curtain, slowly opened and a sliver of light came in. I blinked and looked towards the door on the opposite side.
‘Who is it?’
The person who opened the door and came in was a middleaged woman with a beautiful face as if carved by a master sculptor. Her sparse white hair looked beautiful, like snowfall from the heavens.
She sat on the chair opposite me without a word, her expression hardened.
And she whispered in a voice as cold as perpetual snow.
“She’s here.”
“It’s been a while, Mother.”
My father responded succinctly. I rolled my eyes. If she’s the mother, is she my father’s biological mother? I was wondering when she opened her mouth.
“You consider me as your biological mother.”
“Should I address you as Duchess Lucella instead?”
For some unknown reason, my small body trembled, but that was only for a moment. I widened my eyes at the conversation that pingponged between the two of them.
Judging from the context, it seemed like she was his mother. But if she is the Duchess Lucella…
I shivered.
‘According to the original work, I should be treated like an old woman in the back room now. But still, she was once the leader of the villainous ducal family… If she is my father’s biological mother, it would be better to get along well, right? And to receive her help…’
As I was engrossed in my own thoughts, their conversation continued.
“You understand that once you’re back in the family, you won’t be able to leave on your own, right?”
“…Eh?!”
“Cien.”
I let out a loud sound in the moment. Thankfully, my father pacified me gently, but my mind was in chaos.
I had naturally intended to leave this castle by getting on good terms with this grandmotherlike tiger. But then…
“I know. Become the heir, be banished and live as a fugitive, or die. It’s one of the three.”
I was shocked by the shattered plan and almost passed out, but I managed to pull myself together.
‘They say that you can survive even if you’re caught in a tiger’s den if you keep your wits about you.’
