[Episode 15]
I stared at the hologram for a while with my eyes open, then looked up and saw Duke Miriel.
“Harabuji!!”
When I came to my senses, I was clinging to his leg and my eyes were shining brightly.
“What are you doing, this fluffy thing!”
“Hehe, I’m sorry!”
With this, you are ready to leave the house.
“Daughter.”
It was the time when I was clinging to Duke Mirel’s leg and wandering around.
Before I knew it, Erno Etam bent over, put his hand in my armpit and lifted me up.
“It’s Jiji.”
He smiled softly and put his index and middle fingers on my bracelet.
Faaat-
This time, a small halo of light spread and then disappeared.
A hologram appeared.
【 Withdrawal amount: 100000000 Lo
Total amount: 10000000 Lo 】
The 100 million that came in was withdrawn and disappeared.
‘what?!’
I looked at Erno Etam with my mouth wide open at the money evaporated in front of my eyes.
“If you pick up food carelessly, you will get a stomach ache.”
“what? This idiot is really…!”
Right, right!
You crazy man like a psychopath!
‘Come to think of it, this human was an 8th circle wizard.’
In other words, he is one of the few crazy wizards who can break through the Mage Tower’s system.
‘Isn’t this scary?’
There might be a chase coming from the magic tower.
As I was engrossed in devastation, he took out a diamond bracelet from his pocket and put it on mine.
‘Diamond?’
That’s obviously only 5 issued in an empire far beyond platinum….
Bye bye!
This time, a brighter group of lights leaked out than before.
【Deposit Amount: 1000000000 Lo
Total Amount: 1010000000 Lo】
In the blink of an eye, one more 0 was added.
how much is this
10 billion?
“Okay? daughter.”
yes you are all right
“yes!! I love you, Daddy!”
I clung to Erno Etam’s neck with twinkling eyes and rubbed my face against the nape of his neck.
Somehow, it feels like his back is a little stiff, but is it an illusion?
“I am so grateful, Father! Abbaji is full! genius! nice! Mad Wan-nim!”
I eagerly spat out the biggest compliment I could.
‘I guess I won’t have to work until I die.’
Could this be an indirect sign of the end of this game?
‘I might be able to buy an island with this amount of money.’
Can I get away with noticing?
While holding him in his arms, I glanced down and saw the female lead staring at me with her eyes wide open.
Her black ebony hair and honey-like eyes that make her believe that she is a father and daughter with Erno Etam are lovely.
Her expression was bright and overflowing with curiosity, and a fresh energy flowed from the young girl.
I realized the moment I saw the child.
Why can’t this child be the female lead?
Why did you remove all the dark parts of all the main and supporting actors? Why couldn’t everyone fall for her sunny side?
Here, I was a complete supporting character.
it’s extra
The moment our eyes met, the heroine smiled whitely with a clear face.
There was a light that could never be defeated.
“Erno etham!”
“Couldn’t the head of the household hear me? Sooner or later, I will send you food that is good for your hearing.”
“Not required! And as I said earlier, this child is your sister’s, so adopt it. It will help you.”
Erno Etam’s pupils curled round. It was a bright smile that blinded my eyes.
And in the novel, he described his appearance like this.
[Be careful when the demon Erno Etam laughs.
He never laughs sincerely. His essence is nothing, only madness and pleasure.
If he smiles, it’s a little uncomfortable to plant, and if his eyes are bent, then you have to be careful about breathing, and when he charms the surroundings with a smile on his face, just shut up and leave the place.
When he laughs like this, something always disappears from the ground, whether a person dies, a family collapses, a thief disappears, or a mountain peak that existed until yesterday disappears.]
I swallowed and tensed up.
“I already have a daughter, and I have no idea what you mean.”
“I am not talking about playing house. This kid has the ability to calm ‘it’.”
Interest in Erno Etham’s eyes, who had been talking casually from start to finish.
“…is that kid?”
“Yes, you don’t want to hurt your children either.”
“…hmm.”
He looked at me for a moment, as if pondering, and then looked at the child hiding behind Duke Mirelle’s leg.
“Daddy, go to my room!”
Intruders should get out of here.
I never thought I’d be the real daughter of Erno Etham anyway.
‘I made a lot of money too.’
Now that I know of a good orphanage, all I have to do is leave safely.
‘Yeah, it’s perfect and it’s okay.’
At my lively voice, Erno Etam obediently dropped me off.
“I’m going to have a little talk. I’m going to pick you up at dinner.”
“yes!”
I smiled broadly and waved my hand at the promise of the next one.
When I came out, Mayla approached me as if she had been waiting.
“miss!”
“Let’s go to the room.”
“What happened inside you? You came out sooner than I thought.”
“Um… I spent a lot of pocket money!”
It was a lot of money to be called pocket money, but it was.
As I tapped the bracelet, a hologram appeared. The numbers are pleasing.
“I’m going to sleep during the day. Bye!”
“yes? Are you napping all of a sudden? Then I will prepare the bed for you.”
“Anya, I can do it alone.”
I told Mayla and went into the room and shut the door. Fortunately, Myla didn’t bite further and backed off.
It was time to prepare to leave.
I crawled under the bed and carefully pulled out the things I had collected so far.
When I opened the wrapping cloth, I could see the items I had collected.
In the eyes of other nobles, it would probably be close to junk, but…
“The requirements… should I return it and go?”
I received a lot of money, but I was stung by my conscience to take what I stole from the annex.
‘I have to go to the annex.’
But since you said you’d like to have dinner together, I’ll have to come back before then.
I brought a chair, turned the doorknob slightly, opened it, and looked outside. Fortunately, there was no one outside.
I sneaked out of the room and moved my short legs vigorously back to the annex.
The annex was quite quiet compared to the main mansion.
“This was here…was this there?”
I returned to the room after putting the items back to where I had stolen them.
I met the soldiers as they came and went, but they didn’t pay attention to me as they greeted me warmly.
It was the time when he was trying to return to the annex by putting the things he had stolen safely back in place.
Someone was running hurriedly with a white cloth in their arms.
‘…uh? Isn’t that Mayla?’
Unusually, Mayla’s face stiffened.
Myla, who was looking around with a nervous expression, quickly disappeared behind the annex.
“…merge?”
Are you busy at all?
‘Oh, I have to go back before Mayla comes!’
Since I was here at the moment, I thought that at least I wouldn’t be late.
I took advantage of the gap and quickly returned to my room and threw myself on the bed.
Then, as if nothing had happened, he pounded his leg with his fist and waited for dinner.
It was five o’clock.
‘Hmm, I’m sure it’ll come soon.’
Perhaps it was because of the tense wait, I rolled over on the bed, a little tired.
It’s six o’clock.
‘It’s a little late….’
He struggled to open his eyes as he rubbed his eyes as he struggled to close them.
It was seven o’clock.
Erno etham still did not come.
I gradually felt uneasy.
Dinner with Erno Etam was usually not past six o’clock.
‘There must be something going on.’
Thinking hard, I hugged a nearby tiger doll in my arms.
But even at eight o’clock, Erno Etam did not appear.
I suddenly realized.
‘Ah, this is the end.’
I wondered if that person’s loss of interest meant that he was being forgotten like this.
“It’s okay…”
Yes, I’m fine.
because it always happens
[Why don’t you come…? My mother said that the whole family was eating out together today…]
I just remembered what my father said at the table that day, ‘Let’s eat out together as a family tomorrow.’
So I came back from school, changed my clothes, and waited.
But…
I looked up. When the clock struck nine, I gave up waiting for Erno Etam.
Unlike me in the past, who waited for dinner without changing clothes until midnight, now I tried hard to close my eyes, count the sheep, and try to fall asleep.
Unsurprisingly, Erno Etam did not come that day.
Like my family who went out to eat and went for a drive, leaving me alone.

“Oh my gosh girl. did you hear Yesterday, Prince Erno received a probation.”
Unlike usual, I woke up quite early, so I was sitting in a daze when Myla entered with a bright face.
‘As expected, something urgent happened yesterday.’
I thought so, and slowly rubbed my eyes with the back of my hand.
“…Abbaji? why?”
“Well… I don’t even know that much. From what I’ve heard, His Excellency the Duke was very angry.”
If that’s the case, maybe I didn’t come on purpose because I didn’t like it.
I shook my head in shock at the anticipation and hope that rose without my knowledge.
‘What are you thinking.’
I brushed my thoughts off.
“Can I go see my father?”
“Yes, maybe the lady will be allowed in!”
“Shall we go!”
I jumped out of bed.
Although it took a little longer due to Mylar blocking the way with a grim face saying that pajamas shouldn’t die.
‘Should I ask if we can have breakfast together?’
I arrived at the room with a throbbing heart.
Fortunately, the door wasn’t closed tight like someone had to open it. Strangely, there were no soldiers guarding the front.
“Myra, go to the curb!”
“yes? But…”
“I’m going to eat with Ganchana and my father!”
As I clenched my fists and expressed my words, Myla covered my mouth with admiration.
“Ma Mayla…?”
“Ah yes. Then I will step back.”
“yes.”
Contrary to her behavior, Mayla glanced at me as if she was missing something, and then nodded and stepped back.
I slipped my hand between the cracks in the door to open it.
“Surely it really works.”
“Yes, so please…”
If it wasn’t for the voice I heard from inside, it would have been so.
