I had gained a small puppy, no, a boy who I should take good care of, and even the heart of a holy knight as a bonus.

The possibility of having an effective fortress that could defend against Axel Mirmode’s threats, and attack if necessary, seemed to be in place.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly.

It should be something to be truly happy about, but for some reason, I was feeling heavy. Why?

I subtly glanced at the boy sitting next to me in the carriage and spoke quietly.

“Take good care! Baby!”

The boy who was staring at me cautiously opened his mouth.

“……Not a baby, but……. Yes. I will look forward to working with you. Thank you.”

My heart prickled somewhat when confronted with his gaze, which seemed to trust me unconditionally.

There were times in my past life when I hated my family.

“Uh, baby! I’ll help you.”

So that you can live happily on a flower path from now on.

I looked at Acid, my eyes sparkling. Tears welled up in Acid’s bright eyes.

It was right at that moment when a warm atmosphere was formed between us.

Chuckle!

The maids on the opposite side seemed touched and choked up.

‘You can’t catch the atmosphere when you try to catch it.’

These maids with strong muscles but weak hearts!

I gave a small laugh as if looking down on them and patted the boy sitting next to me on the shoulder as if cheering him on.

The carriage ran nonstop, crossed the threshold of the Mirmode family, and finally arrived at the western mansion where we all live together.

“Let’s clean first.”

“……Okay, let’s go!”

“Uh! Let’s all clean and eat something delicious!”

As Acid and I got off the carriage together, listening to the maids’ spirited shouts.

I walked into the mansion with a bright smile.

Thinking that melted chocolate is the best thing to thaw a heart frozen from old wounds.

When Cien brought Ted’s younger brother to the western mansion. Matthias had perfectly dealt with the fanatics who were on the verge of death, brought by Cien’s maids.

He was extremely upset about the fact that there were those who dared to aim for my daughter’s life.

‘That devil made us like this,’ he said arrogantly.

What’s more, he didn’t even refer to my daughter as ‘that devil.’

To a lovely child who can’t even tread on weeds because her heart is tender.

‘Delphia sent it.’

Objectively, Matthias was overwhelmingly strong within the Mirmode family, but power alone did not completely determine the landscape of power.

Delphia Mirmode, Axel Mirmode, and the Elders.

Beyond that, the imperial family and the Pope in collusion with the power of the Empire.

All of them had to be handled quietly, but if the steps were mixed up, it was obvious that a problem would arise.

‘I need to handle the Pope, to take revenge for Uella’s death.’

She became a drop of dew from the gallows in the case of the devil’s judgment of the formation.

Uella admitted to summoning the devil and asked to be killed. But he believed that she must have meant something else.

‘……A trap of the temple.’

Matthias, who had made a firm determination, boldly decided to deal with Delphia first. She was certainly not an easy opponent.

Delphia Mirmode.

She was a mad magician, and she was one of those who had the upper hand in the succession structure before he returned.

With a character that crushes those who oppose her openly, she mainly uses direct speech.

In the family, she was considered a madwoman, but her magic and psychic powers were so great that there was no problem in taking the position of the heir.

There was a gap in Delphia’s psychic power. She mainly used magic to transform her body, and there was a huge side effect to that magic.
‘Once we’ve dealt with Delpia Mirmode, there will be a next step.’

Axel had used the power of darkness, and rumors in the world had spread that he was a necromancer. There was virtually no way to defeat a necromancer.

‘But we haven’t found a way to completely destroy Axel Mirmode yet.’

Matthias lowered his eyes.

Over the past five years, he had absorbed all the quirks that existed around him.

He had grown stronger at a pace that was virtually different from before.

So he returned to the western mansion with a bit of optimism about the future, but…..

“Daddy!”

Cien was waiting at the mansion.

Matthias didn’t hide the smile that naturally spread across his face.

“Cien, I’ve missed you.”

Receiving a daughter’s welcome after a hard day’s work was a heartwarming affair in many ways.

“Dad, I made a friend! They’re here right now!”

He stiffened his smiling lips as he looked at his daughter.

Not long after dealing with the necromancer, a stranger had invaded the mansion.

Innocent Cien, who doesn’t yet know how wicked human nature can be, might have been threatened by another necromancer.

He scanned the surroundings with narrowed eyes.

“That one, no, that friend there?”

Behind Cien was a child with a larger body than Cien.

He didn’t particularly like children. Especially if it was a child who looked so fervently at his own daughter.
