The Youngest Daughter of the Swordsmanship Family Turned Great Mage (32 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 13
“Dreams, what nonsense. I just haven’t seen you lately, so I was curious how you’ve been.”
“I see.”
Daniel dismissed it lightly and didn’t press further about the dream.
Instead, he changed the subject. The two engaged in a deep discussion about swordsmanship for some time.
When they’d emptied the teapot twice, Joshua asked quietly,
“By the way, I heard Master has taken in an adopted daughter?”
“The rumor’s already spread?”
“It’s not a rumor—I overheard your conversation with Abamama.”
“That’s right. The formal procedures haven’t been completed yet, but she’s already living in the mansion.”
A faint smile played on Daniel’s lips as he thought of Rogette. Joshua leaned forward slightly, curiosity piqued.
“You seem quite fond of her.”
“She’s incredibly sweet and lovable. Anyone would adore her at first sight.”
“You’re utterly smitten. So, when will you introduce her to me?”
A look of awkwardness flickered across Daniel’s usually smiling face.
“My youngest is still very shy around strangers. I think it’ll take at least half a year before she’s comfortable with the household staff and ready to formally enter society.”
“You mean you won’t even introduce her to me?”
“Yes.”
Joshua let out a dry laugh at Daniel’s answer, utterly without hesitation.
“Anyone would think I’m going to eat the child alive.”
“But Your Highness, even we find her difficult to handle. Imagine how she’d react to royalty—she might faint or have an attack.”
“Couldn’t I just meet her without revealing my royal status?”
“Even then, it wouldn’t work. The dignity of royalty isn’t something you can hide just by concealing your title.”
Daniel chuckled lightly and stood up.
“Anyway, I’ve taken far too much of Your Highness’s time this early morning. I should take my leave now.”
“Very well.”
Joshua personally escorted Daniel out of the palace gates.
“Oh, wait.”
Just before Daniel closed the carriage window, Joshua quickly gestured to him. As Daniel approached, Joshua whispered into his ear.
“For now, be extra careful about carriage accidents.”
“Huh?”
“You heard about the Earl of Hartman’s accident recently, right? Even perfectly sound carriages can break down. Always double-check before getting in.”
“Thank you for your thoughtful warning.”
“Well… it might be best to avoid going out altogether for the time being…”
“Hm?”
The last words were too faint to hear clearly. When Daniel asked again, Joshua shook his head.
“Nothing. Take care, then. And pass my regards to Isabelle and Lucas.”
“Yes. Please take good care of yourself as well, Your Highness.”
“Alright.”
And so, Daniel’s carriage departed. He briefly thought Joshua had been acting strangely, but quickly brushed off the uneasy feeling.
[This is the timeline separator]“What? Your birthday’s coming up soon?”
Lucas asked, eyes wide with surprise. Though he didn’t show it overtly, Isabelle also seemed quite taken aback.
Only Rogette replied nonchalantly.
“Yes. My birthday is in a week.”
“Why are you only telling us now?!”
Lucas practically shouted.
To explain the situation:
After his bath, Lucas—hair still damp—had been giving Rogette a tour of the mansion. Isabelle, having nothing better to do, tagged along behind her two younger siblings.
Lucas started with the dining hall, which she already knew, and proceeded to show her around various parts of the estate.
“Now, I’ll show you my room!”
He led her to the room directly across from hers. Pointing to a sword hanging on the wall, he explained each item in the room carefully.
“That sword was a gift from Father for my birthday last year. He had it specially commissioned. Isn’t it cool?”
“Yes.”
Then, almost as an afterthought, he casually asked,
“By the way, when’s your birthday?”
Rogette, counting the date easily in her head, answered plainly, “In a week.” And that’s when the trouble began.
“Why didn’t you say anything earlier?!”
Confused about exactly what part had upset him, Rogette answered earnestly,
“Because no one asked.”
Lucas grabbed the back of his neck in frustration.
“But how could you not mention something so important! It’s your birthday!”
Rogette corrected him gently.
“It’s not actually the day I was born. It’s the day I was left at the orphanage.”
Lucas stood there, mouth agape, unable to find words. But Rogette truly felt nothing special about her birthday.
First, because it marked not her birth but her abandonment—hardly a celebration—and second, because birthdays had never been treated as anything significant back at the orphanage.
There were so many children, and resources were scarce. They couldn’t possibly celebrate each child’s birthday as something special.
To them, cakes and presents existed only in fairy tales. If anything, the only “gift” on one’s birthday was getting slightly more food than usual.
‘In the Dallas Family…’
The Dallas household hadn’t celebrated her birthday at all either. While Elisha Dallas—her so-called younger sister—received lavish parties and heaps of presents every year, nothing of the sort was ever intended for Rogette.
In fact, Rogette ate better on Elisha’s birthday than her own, simply because the kitchen would be overflowing with food that day.
‘But is that really so shocking?’
Seeing Rogette blink in innocent confusion, Lucas thumped his chest in exasperation. Even Isabelle sighed and shook her head.
After watching Rogette’s face for a moment, Lucas declared boldly,
“Fine! I’ll throw you the perfect birthday party!”
From then on, instead of continuing the mansion tour, he launched into excited planning: a three-tier cake, a wide variety of dishes, heaps of presents—he chattered on enthusiastically.
Rogette had assumed it was just childish whimsy, but Sebastian, the head butler, took it seriously enough to start writing everything down.
Even Isabelle, whom she’d expected to be indifferent, chimed in with suggestions of her own. She even summoned the household staff to gather opinions.
‘Are they really going to throw me a birthday party?’
Unconsciously, Rogette’s heart began to race. Just as the three children and the staff were deep in lively discussion, a familiar voice interrupted.
“There you all are.”
It was Daniel, back from an early-morning outing. He smiled upon seeing his three siblings.
“What are you all talking about so intently? Showing Rose around the mansion?”
Lucas immediately ran over to Daniel.
“Brother! The little one’s birthday is in a week!”
Daniel, who had been smiling all along, looked momentarily surprised.
“In a week?”
“Yeah! That’s why we’re planning her birthday party!”
“I see. Of course.”
He lightly ruffled Rogette’s hair, noticing her embarrassment.
“Why didn’t you say anything? We almost missed it entirely.”
Rogette could only repeat the same words.
“I just didn’t think it was a big deal…”
“Nonsense.”
He pinched her cheek gently.
“It’s important. It’s the day you were born.”
“But my birthday isn’t the day I was born—it’s the day I was left at the orphanage…”
Daniel’s hand twitched slightly, but then he pinched her cheek once more.
“Then it’s an even better day. Because you ended up at that orphanage, we got to meet you. Don’t you agree?”
Hearing Daniel’s words, Rogette realized her birthday—which she’d always thought of as just another day with slightly more food—could actually be something special.
Sensing she’d been convinced, Daniel asked softly,
“Do you still think your birthday isn’t a big deal?”
“No.”
“Then we’ll all celebrate together that day. Is there anything you’d like to do?”
“I’d just…”
Truthfully, she did have a wish. Since they were throwing a party anyway, she wanted to celebrate with Jane and the orphanage children.
She wanted to share delicious food and wonderful gifts with them.
‘But that’s probably impossible.’
It had only been two days since she arrived here. Asking to invite guests so soon might make her seem greedy. So Rogette kept her true feelings to herself.
“I’d just like to spend the day playing together—with Lucas, Daniel, and Isabelle.”
Though she’d hidden her real desire, it wasn’t a lie. She truly would be happy celebrating with the Adrian family.
“Alright, I understand. I’ll go now—keep playing.”
“Yes.”
Daniel patted each of his siblings’ heads in turn before heading back to his room.
“Oh—!”
Watching his retreating back, Rogette suddenly remembered something she needed to tell him and hurried after him.
Sensing her approach, Daniel stopped and turned around.
“What is it?”
Rogette gasped for breath before finally managing to speak.
“I have, something, to tell you.”
“Something to tell me?”
“Yes.”
Daniel waited patiently while she caught her breath.
“What could be so urgent that you had to run after me like that? Couldn’t it wait a little?”
“It’s just…”
Unlike her bold dash to catch him, Rogette now struggled to speak.
‘How do I even say this?’
She wanted to warn Daniel about the carriage accident—but even to her, blurting out a random warning about carriage crashes sounded absurd.
Besides, she wasn’t skilled at phrasing things elegantly.
Seeing her lips tremble without words, Daniel crouched to her eye level and smiled gently.
“Is it something hard to say?”
After hesitating a moment, Rogette gathered her courage.
“I heard there have been a lot of carriage accidents lately.”
“Hm?”
“Please tell the coachman to double-check the wheels before you get in.”
Daniel paused, then let out a soft chuckle. Seeing Rogette blink in confusion, he quickly explained.
“Sorry. I didn’t laugh because your words were funny.”
“…?”
“I’m just happy—happy that so many people care about my safety.”
“Safety?”
“Yeah.”
Rogette wondered what he meant, but Daniel offered no further explanation—and she didn’t press him.
“Alright, I’ll be more careful from now on.”
“Yes.”
“Now go back and play.”
“Yes.”
Rogette scampered back to Lucas and Isabelle. Daniel watched her go before turning once more toward his room.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
