[Episode 10]
“I wish I could keep that distance when I talk to my daughter…”
He moved his lips slowly.
“Anyone dissatisfied?”
Everyone shook their heads at the same time, blinded by that kind and sensitive question.
Because everyone knew what would happen if they nodded here.
“Ah, lady…”
A plaintive call, the size of a mosquito, was heard from ten paces away.
I awkwardly smiled with a bewildered expression and turned my head, and the man cautiously opened his mouth, noticing Erno Etam.
“If I show you the map, would you know…?”
I shook my head slowly.
He did not know how to read a map, and he had not even the slightest talent to read a map.
Because I was the one who forgot the road I took an hour ago when returning.
However, no country knows the way to the back mountain.
“Don’t you know where you are?”
“Ah!”
“Where are you?”
“You’re covered!”
“what…?”
Duke Miriel asked with a frown as if he couldn’t understand what he was saying.
“Back cheap!”
“…Where is the hill behind?”
“Yogi?”
“…There’s a floating stone on the mountain behind here?”
“yes!”
Duke Mirel was silent for a moment, as if speechless. It must be because it was too close to me than I thought.
Of course, when I read the novel, I was also a bit absurd. I understand.
“A hill behind it… Maybe you misunderstood the stone someone threw? At first glance, it looks like it’s flying…”
“But it’s true that I haven’t checked the mountain behind it. I didn’t even think it would be there…” ”
Well, where did the young lady go to the mountains…”
“There’s nothing to lose by finding out. Please check it out.”
“all right.”
Listening to the conversation, I wondered if they would find it on their own without me interfering.
In fact, stones floating in the air are not common.
“Daughter.”
At that call, I reflexively turned my head.
Cook-
A long finger lightly pressed against his cheek. Unknowingly, my eyes widened.
“Father…?”
“Why does my daughter know so much?”
It was just when I was startled by that meaningful statement and just rolled my eyes.
“You’re fluffy…”
The moment Duke Mirel called me, someone hurriedly opened the door to the meeting room and came in.
“Your Excellency the Duke!”
“What a fuss!”
“That’s not the only thing, because I have an urgent matter to tell you about something you ordered the other day…”
The man who opened the conference room door and approached quickly whispered something into Duke Mirelle’s ear.
“…Is this information clear?”
“According to your report, it is said to be more than 90%.”
Duke Mirel’s eyes, which were like a mountain, trembled slightly, and then he rose from his seat without delay.
“That child’s daughter is in a place like that… tsk Today’s meeting is over here!”
Duke Mirel left the conference room as quickly as the wind, along with the vassal who had come to deliver the news.
Others seemed to have no idea what was going on, but I seemed to have a rough idea.
‘The heroine is coming.’
I thought quietly while being held in Erno Etam’s arms.
‘The heroine…?’
uh…?
‘Isn’t it faster than I thought?!’
Was the original appearance this early?
No, of course, the date of when the heroine was adopted was not written exactly in the novel.
One day, the heroine, like the sunlight, suddenly came and took control of the house in an instant.
It has been described that people of the Etham family feel comfortable when near the heroine because of her ability to soothe the ‘frenzy’.
Perhaps because of that, it seems that Erno Ettam, who is experiencing the most severe ‘bombing’, took an interest in the female lead first.
‘Is it about a week including the time the duke travels back and forth?’
If the heroine appears, perhaps I will soon be forgotten.
“Mmm.”
“Daughter, what are you worrying about?”
My body trembled at the sound of the voice in my ear.
When I looked at Erno Etam while holding his ear, he was smiling brightly for some reason.
‘uh…? I was offended.’
It was a bright smile when I was in a bad mood.
“Father…?”
Come to think of it, I was in the arms of this human.
“Sometimes I don’t know what your daughter is thinking.”
“yes?”
“It’s almost evening time. I’m thinking of introducing my boys tonight.”
“Son?”
“Yes, I will be an older brother to your daughter.”
I’m talking about those two people who proudly declared a vacation at the New Year’s meeting.
At first, he tickled the female lead, but eventually moved on to the siscom position and was killed by the female lead.
‘I can’t believe he even introduces his son… This person really acts like a real person.’
I could guess why the man who pretended to be dating Erno Etham last year had been begging her to stay by her side since he didn’t need any money.
‘He’s a really bad guy.’
I shook my head.
‘But I heard that they made a deal with you from the beginning to pretend they were dating…’
Um, is it the fault of the man on the other end who couldn’t properly distinguish between public and private affairs?
No, when I think of him now.
My future is bleak.
“Don’t you like it?”
“Nope! If your father is joking, both of you are joking!”
“okay?”
“yes!”
So, somehow, let’s work hard to be the father’s fool’s daughter that suits his taste.
And if the heroine comes in and this person gets tired of me, it’s perfect to take the bank account and leave for the orphanage I saw at that time!
The good thing is that once an account is opened, it cannot be deleted or taken out of money unless it is the person himself/herself.
That is true even for parents.
After being in that orphanage, you could return the future owner of the mage tower to the lost noble family and ask for help.
‘First of all, the important thing is money.’
While I was thinking, Erno Etham took me to my room.
“Does your daughter like me?”
“Joa!”
“why?”
Why?
Because it’s my money…?
He’s a psychopath, but he sure pays for his work…?
I couldn’t bear to say the word… so I shook my head.
“Now… take good care of yourself! Get fat!”
“Is that so again?”
also?
What else do you want to squeeze?
“Uh… and very strong! My father said, everyone run away!”
“Hmm.”
What do you not like! I really couldn’t figure out what the hell he was thinking.
“Sasireun…. He’s not very fond of people, so his father, the hero from earlier!”
“Warrior? I don’t like warriors very much.”
It’s also tricky, really.
“Mawan-sama…?”
When I changed my words like flipping my palm, he smiled lightly.
“That’s not bad. Anyway, I didn’t know that your daughter would hate people too.”
No, it’s not that
I don’t like it …….
Hearing my words, he smiled in satisfaction.
“My daughter has many similarities with me. I’m a pig too… No. I don’t like people because they’re noisy.”
Did you just say dog pig?
You were just going to say dog and pig, but you changed your mind?!
I looked at him in disbelief and smiled awkwardly as if I didn’t know.
He took me to the room.
“Then see you at dinner.”
“yes! Please go away, father.”
I gently waved him off and crawled under the bed.
‘I’m glad I’m still there.’
Under the bed, the money I had saved up the day before the New Year’s meeting was wrapped in old cloth.
The gold ornaments that were scattered here and there in the outbuilding and the jewels that were decorated with the silver tableware stone statues were carefully pulled out.
It took quite a while to bring it back without being noticed on the day we moved.
‘I’m fully prepared.’
Will the female lead come soon? I’m not going to hang on to Erno Etham.
‘I’m asking for money instead.’
I nodded my head happily at the fairly perfect plan.
* * *
By dinner time, Myla was busy.
She put a yellow dress on me from where she got it, blushing slightly, and twiddling my cheek.
“As expected, the lady looks so cute no matter what she wears…”
“So what?”
“Yes, really…”
Mayla, who came to the mansion, changed.
He was originally a kind and nice person, but he became more motivated.
I wondered if it might have been due to the fact that Mayla’s status had risen since she had come to the mansion I had seen.
‘As expected, money is the best.’
It was the natural truth of the world.
smart.
As I was about to finish preparing my meal, I heard a neat knocking sound.
‘Is my father already here?’
Myla hurriedly opened the door with a tense face as if she was more surprised than I was.
I also stood at the door to welcome him with a stuffed tiger on my side.
But it wasn’t Erno Etam that was at the door.
