To a holy knight, swearing in truth was a pledge that they stake their life on the truth of what they had said. He wanted to help Sien, whom he had met only once?
[I think I can make a knight’s vow.]His handwriting seemed to have taken a lot of thought.
Matthias stroked his chin and lost himself in thought. A holy knight, making a knight’s vow to the notorious villain Mirmode’s daughter?
‘He’s talking nonsense.’
But that was the end of the letter.
Matthias crumpled the letter in one hand and asked his close aide.
“The holy knight from the temple, Ted?”
“Yes, correct. According to the priestesses, the child Sien picked up is this knight’s sibling. He probably felt gratitude for that.”
Matthias blinked his eyes wide open then closed them.
To counter Axel Mirmode, Matthias needed someone with a superior divine power.
But then, Sien conveniently picked up a knight with divine power.
Is it a coincidence?
“On paper he is an ordinary holy knight, but how did he see through the assassin at once?”
“In my experience… he was quite skilled. It seemed he specialized in divine power.”
The selfproclaimed villainous Mirmode Empire.
The powers of a family that relied on devils or darkness were naturally quite vulnerable to divine power.
‘I was looking for a defector from the temple full of holy knights.’
I wasn’t even considering capturing someone who didn’t think they could find a holy knight who would sincerely serve the villainous family.
If a skilled holy knight is recruited, he would become an effective tool to confront Axel Mirmode or Delfia Mirmode.
‘So a holy knight has rolled in?’
It was a strange feeling.
It felt as if Sien, who knew nothing, was laying out a beautiful flower path for his future.
That can’t be.
And it shouldn’t be.
Matthias pushed aside the subtle emotions that touched his heart and looked at him.
“Delfia Mirmode is returning tomorrow.”
He decided to deal with Delfia first.
A halfcrazy woman with white hair and clear blue eyes like the sea.
The protagonist of the succession structure he had set in motion after sending an agent to Sien.
He mentioned it casually as if notifying about dinner the next evening.
“I plan to strike as soon as she arrives.”
He decided to strike Delfia and fully absorb her forces.
A bloodless war would be even better as it would save strength.
But as everyone knew, the power struggle of the family was typically bloody.
‘I must not let Sien go out tomorrow.’
It was a problem if Delphia was able to manipulate Sien and they encountered each other.
Matthias blinked with this thought in mind.
It was a signal to send out his confidant. The confidant bowed more deeply, as if showing his loyalty to him.
But then, it happened.
“Daddy!”
Perhaps she had finished playing with water balloons, as Sien, soaking wet, came in.
“Sien is bored! Want to buy Goblin Sa… Huh?”
Sien tilted her head and looked at the kneeling servant, and then at Matthias.
“……Hmm?”
A question mark appeared in Sien’s eyes.
And cold sweat trickled down Matthias’s spine.
The room, where no firelight entered, was gloomy.
The servant, kneeling and bowing in front of him.
The servant’s face was bruised all over.
Objectively speaking, Matthias looked like a villain to anyone.
Matthias swallowed quietly. He could see Sien looking at him with a puzzled expression.
“What? Why is this man like this?”
Sien, who grew up in a small rural village, seemed to be thinking deeply, looking curious.
“Could it be…….”
Matthias, who had never been tense before the silence, clenched his fist. Had Sien discovered that he was not actually a simple farmer?
Peeking at the servant, Sien ran over and whispered into Matthias’s ear.
“Did this man kneel to ask for potatoes?”
Fortunately, it seemed that the concept of pretending to be a simple potato farmer was still working.
He opened his mouth quietly. Because if you keep eating potatoes…
“Yeah, that’s right. This time, not potatoes, but sweet potatoes.”
Sien’s face turned sulky. It was the same expression as when she said, ‘Dad is such a sucker!’
“Sigh.”
Sien, clutching her tiny waist, approached the kneeling servant. The servant looked at Sien with a puzzled expression.
“Listen, how much is the price of sweet potatoes!”
“Ye…yes?”
Sien asked sternly, sticking out her belly. Her plump baby belly disappeared as quickly as it had shown.
“So, so cute…….”
It was then that the servant unwittingly clenched his fist. Sien puffed out her shoulders and asked arrogantly again.
“Huh. You should say it’s scary!”
The servant, looking as if he was bewitched by the sight of her plump and adorable baby belly, mumbled under his breath.
“Sca, scary.”
“Exactly. Remember that well. I am much scarier than my daddy.”
Matthias watched with his arms crossed over his chest to see how far Sien would go.
As soon as she heard the servant say ‘scary’, a rosy blush appeared on Sien’s fluffy cheeks. That was the expression she made when she was excited and happy.
‘She likes being called scary, huh…’
He slowly realized the bad influence this villainous family was having on Sien.
Swear words, goblins, changing tastes.
It was a triple threat.
Matthias gritted his teeth.
Sien, oblivious to the fact that the air around her father had dropped by a good 5 degrees, continued to stare at the servant.
“Good. Now, how much for those sweet potatoes?”
The servant’s eyes rolled around. Whether that made him look more menacing or not, Sien pouted her lips. It seemed like she was mumbling ‘he looks scary!’ to herself.
Of course, the servant was too preoccupied with his own thoughts to even listen to Sien. He didn’t know the price of sweet potatoes, but he wanted to make a good impression on Sien, who was Matthias’s daughter.
Facing Sien’s penetrating gaze, the servant gulped down dry saliva and answered with an honorific.
“Well, about… 1 silver for 100?”
“What?”
Sien’s eyes widened.
Meanwhile, Shim Bok smiled in an attempt to appear pleasant to Sien. It looked threatening to anyone who saw it, but it was his best.
Matthias quietly observed the confrontation between Sien and Shim Bok.
It was a tense moment.
The succession struggle of this family was incomparable to this…
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
