[Episode 99]
The guest who broke in was none other than Duke Colin.
It was nice to see him for the first time in a long time, but the situation was not very nice to express his happiness.
Dad drew his sword and growled, and Richard, who was hanging upside down and collapsed, was in Duke Colin’s arms.
“Are you hurt, Richard?”
“no.”
Richard, who answered rather bluntly as if he was embarrassed, glanced at me with a reddened face and quickly left Duke Colin’s arms.
Richard, who vigorously rubbed my cheek with the back of his hand, glared at my father and opened his mouth.
“Your Excellency, the barrier must have been set, but how did you get in here?”
“With magic.”
Dad snorted and said confidently. Duke Colin laughed and blocked Richard’s way.
“What have you done to my son?”
“Your son kidnapped and tried to kill my daughter, so I just wanted to make him pay a fair price.”
“Killing… There’s no way my good and innocent son would do that.”
Duke Colin’s reply was filled with displeasure, probably because he had touched Richard.
‘Is Richard naive…?’
I don’t think it’s bad, but I’m not sure if it’s naive.
‘I also felt like Richard had turned pretty…’
While I was lost in my thoughts, Duke Colin turned his head slightly and saw me in his father’s arms.
Watching my stiff expression loosen slightly, I lowered my head, and Duke Colin also nodded with a very shy face and accepted my greeting.
“No matter how much you draw a sword from a child! What would I have done if my fragile son was injured!”
Duke Colin was furious.
‘…electuary?’
Slightly embarrassed, he turned his head to see Richard’s cheeks flushed red.
It seems that he doesn’t hate having his father block him.
“Parents recklessly pulling out their swords in front of their children… It seems that Duke Etam is not ready to become a parent.”
“Won’t parents do anything to protect their children?”
“So did you come into someone else’s family and steal the adoption papers? Threatening even His Majesty?”
Did you even steal Dad’s adoption papers?
When I looked at him in amazement, Dad frowned as if he was unfair.
“Stealing… you don’t know who stole it?”
Is it my imagination that I seem to know better than anyone else?
“I wonder if it would be better to blame myself for not managing it properly and losing it.”
Looking at the expression on his father’s disfigured face, he realized that what Duke Colin said was true.
Even when he’s lying, even when he’s in a bad mood, his expression becomes brighter.
“I should have stopped you from adopting the child then no matter what.”
“Are you talking about that level?”
Dad laughed.
‘He’s my dad, but he’s really mean.’
Should I say that I feel like I want to hit just one because I hate it so much?
“And I don’t know why I am talking about it now. I was talking about the killer.”
When did you become a murderer again?
“What a shameful attempted murder… There was no way my son would have done that! How did you do it?”
“It rang.”
“Now what…”
“Your son made my daughter cry.”
Duke Colin was speechless for a while, like a man whose throat was completely choked.
“…how does that count as attempted murder?”
“Anyway, my daughter is small, fragile, and cute, and if even a drop of tear disappears from her body, her life is in danger.”
no dad that’s not it
“My son is cuter, lovable, and fragile.”
At Duke Colin’s words, Dad, who was lightly hanging his sword, put me aside with a smile.
At the same time, Dad’s new model disappeared.
Quaang-!
bang-!
Coo-goo-goo-!
The wind blew hard in the room, accompanied by a roar several times.
Cute dolls, which had been neatly arranged, flew around, and books and food spilled out as the walls crumbled.
There was no damage to me who was wearing a protective shield, but when the wall was pierced in an instant, the scene of the cute room became disastrous.
“My BamBam doll!”
Richard screamed in astonishment.
‘My doll?’
When I turned my head, I saw dolls pouring outside.
‘That… was really me.’
I wondered, but it was the same.
As the dust settles somewhat between the gaps in the wall, the view opens.
A curtain of water was firmly blocking Richard and Duke Colin. At the well-blocked attack, Dad laughed as he tilted his head to the side.
“Sorry.”
He murmured in a low voice, quickly inheriting the new model and returning to my side.
“What the hell is this! Duke Etham!”
“Punishment for attempted murder?”
“Are you saying that the ringing was an attempted murder?”
“yes.”
“If that’s an attempted murder, my son must have died dozens of times already!”
Duke Colin said.
“What are you talking about?”
“Do you know how much my frail and sweet son cried over your daughter!”
“You should have raised me that way.”
Duke Colin was just speechless at his father’s selfish and unreasonable words.
“…If you think about it like this, are you saying that I can also punish Eirin for attempted murder?”
So the premise of attempted murder is wrong!
“Of course…”
At Duke Colin’s words, Dad’s lips curled up.
“No.”
And Dad, as always, had a terribly selfish logic.
There was a deep cut between Duke Colin’s forehead.
“Oh Dad!”
I hurriedly clung to my father’s leg.
Looking at the half-destroyed room, it was because I thought I had to stop fighting somehow.
“Why is that, daughter?”
“W How did you know this place?”
“There is an informant.”
“Informant?”
When I tilted my head, Dad smiled and opened his mouth.
“My daughter has a pretty capable pet. who gave it to you.”
Dad said proudly.
‘Who gave it as a gift…’
Dad gave it to me as a gift.
I was smiling awkwardly, but Dad was looking at me with an expectant expression.
Oh no way…
“My dad… gave it to me as a present…”
“That’s right.”
Dad looked very pleased.
“But Dad, can we stop fighting now?”
“Why?”
“I don’t like fighting…”
I said sullenly with the intention of stopping the two of them.
‘It’s usually like this in novels…’
My dad nodded after hearing what I said.
“I see. Then, daughter, please go back to the banquet hall. Tell your brothers that if we fall away from you one more time, we will send you on a mission outside.”
Dad smiled brightly and snapped his fingers, and a magic circle began to draw very slowly on the floor.
“I’ll be gone soon too.”
no don’t fight
I didn’t mean to let me out.
Duke Colin was looking at his father with eyes that he had never seen such a madman in his life.
By the way… it’s Lucillion who reported it!
What the hell did Lucillion do? Is it okay to use my divine power in such a useless place?
‘Anyway, I didn’t know that Lucillion would also attend the banquet.’
This was because priests usually did not attend imperial banquets.
‘Ah, I guess I was invited because I’m friends with Lucy and Enosh.’
Because Lucillion stayed by Enosh and me while I slept.
‘Everything is good…’
Quaang-!
thud-!
Quad Deuk-!
I watched the dusty room in the distance. Dad and Duke Colin were fighting so fast that the eyes couldn’t keep up.
A column of water soared, there was a roar, and before long the building began to collapse in half.
The two dukes fall into a banquet, what the hell are you doing here? My dad was different from the average parenting father.
In the novels I’ve read, when my daughter tells me not to do it, she usually fights like crazy and doesn’t
do it…. This crazy psychopath dad here doesn’t stop even when I tell him not to.
Hwaaak-!
As soon as the magic circle was finished, it began to emit light.
“Where is your left arm? Left arm…”
The last scene I saw was Richard sitting in the corner picking up the remains of a doll with missing arms and legs, a half-broken mansion that now looks empty, and… “Dare to propose to my daughter, who is only ten years old
. sun?”
It was just a mess.
* * *
“His Majesty the Emperor, Empress, and 2nd Prince Mama, His Highness is entering!”
The banquet hall, which had been buzzing, became quiet as if a rat had died. Everyone put their glasses down and bowed.
After entering, the emperor, who was sitting in the high seat, looked over at the audience and frowned.
“Everyone raise their heads.”
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the nobles slowly raised their heads.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve held a banquet, and I’m grateful that so many people attended.”
The emperor, who had been speaking slowly, turned his head to look at the gathering of the members of the Etham family.
“I heard that Etam has good news to tell you today… but the main character and other important people are missing.”
The emperor’s words pricked up the ears of the nobles who had been looking for Eirin.
“Aren’t the two dukes still attending?”
“That’s…”
Charniel Etam pursed his lips, then frowned. It was because he did not know where the youngest had gone.
That was the moment.
Whoaaah-!
The center of the banquet hall began to glow brightly. All eyes were focused on the light that seemed to take away the view.
At that moment, Charniel Etam’s spine felt chilly.
‘I hope not…’
I hoped that their youngest brother hadn’t had another accident.
What appeared after the momentary bright light went out…
“Ah… I see the sun, the glory of my empire…”
The hem of his clothes was crumpled here and there, and he looked a little bit more crumpled than the first time…
“Eirin. It’s Etam…”
Likewise, it was the young head of the family with a pale face as if he hadn’t expected this situation.
‘This maknae got into an accident again!’
The same thought popped up in the heads of all the Ethams, both direct and collateral, at the same time.
It was a splendid appearance.
