Chapter Index

    At that time, there was a man looking forlornly into the room through the gap in the nursery door, Aden Arjane. He was the duke of this empire.

    ‘Why on earth… why don’t you smile like that when you look at me…’

    This is my first time seeing Marian smiling as brightly as the sunlight. This is because when you approach them, they stare at you to see if they are dissatisfied or pout their lips with a sullen expression on their face.

    ‘Of course, that look is very cute, but…’

    I’m a dad…

    “Ha…”

    As expected… were you upset because you didn’t come right away the first time?

    When I gave them the east annex… It wasn’t as good as mine, but they had such a pretty smile… That’s right…! There are still two more annex buildings left… if you include the main building…

    “……?!”

    Suddenly, seeing the baby with a serious expression on his face as if he had lived the rest of the world, he couldn’t think any more and ran into the room.

    * * *

    “Marian!”

    I lost my breath without realizing it.

    “Ka! Caw!?”

    Because suddenly someone lifted me up. It wasn’t a rough touch, but my body was raised and something was moving.

    And this familiar yet uncomfortable embrace…

    ‘It’s Abby!’

    He was like this last time, and I gave him a gift to help him out, but I can’t stand it anymore!

    “Dau! Ta-da!” (It’s uncomfortable! It’s hard!)

    The arms themselves were quite wide and warm, but the posture was very poor. This requires dispassionate grading. How can this be a father who has a 4-year-old daughter and a second daughter?

    “Dtuhae! Taa!” (Inconvenient! Inconvenient!)

    I struggled without hiding my nervousness.

    slap.

    “Dau…?” (What is it…?)

    ‘What is this sticky feeling in your palm?’

    “““Wow…!”””

    “Push…”

    In the moment of silence, the maids’ seemingly frightened reactions, and the contrasting sneers, the maids looked at Aden, Marian, and Emilia in turn.

    The shaking shoulders and fluttering long ears were really pretty, but they looked at Aden again.

    “Ta…” (Wow…)

    There was a handprint like a maple leaf on Aden’s cheek.

    “Oh my! Ah, I guess she wants to give the matriarch a kiss!”

    Elaine made an unreasonable move as if she was trying to create an awkward atmosphere.

    ‘it’s not that…!’

    Let’s raise our gaze closely. Abby looked somewhat expectant.

    ‘No, you just got slapped, why do you look so happy? Are you a pervert?’

    For some reason, I felt cold sweat. I was glad that my daughter didn’t throw me away just because she accidentally slapped me…

    “Sounds good…!”

    In the meantime, the maids are shaking their heads again. Aren’t you just surprised? Can’t you see the thumbprint on the kid’s cheek?

    I don’t care how much I care these days. I wanted to, but it wasn’t really a kiss. Even though I look like this, I have a 20-year-old soul, and I don’t feel friendly enough to kiss!

    I see Emilia watching with subtle eyes.

    “……You look uncomfortable. Emilia.”

    “Heh. Yes.”

    Emilia smiled a victorious smile.

    ‘Sister, you like me so much.’

    I quickly fell into Emilia’s arms.

    ‘Mmm~ It’s fragrant.’

    Honestly, I know a little bit now. It was different from my father in my previous life. But it’s awkward… I’m not comfortable enough to kiss him yet.

    “Your arms… and my arms… what’s the difference?”

    The kid who was staring blankly for a while said something strange.

    ‘What kind of bullshit is that?’

    “Puh… well? Well… you’re not a doll, so let’s support your neck to make you more comfortable.”

    Saying that, Emilia placed Marian’s head on her chest.

    “Kya! Kyaow!” (It’s fluffy!)

    Emilia’s breasts were really soft.

    ‘It’s not that big, but it’s so cozy that you can say go away from a top-quality pillow!’

    “Mom…”

    Arden glanced at Emilia’s upper body with mysterious eyes and sighed.

    “Puhuhuh. So, you will feel like I am your mother to you, right? Wouldn’t you naturally be compared to your inconsiderate father?”

    “……”

    “That’s right, lady~?”

    “Dau!”(That’s right!)

    “Miss, can you give me a kiss?”

    Emilia says that and sticks out her cheek to me.

    ‘Amyo amyo.’

    On the side.

    “Twice! Thank you, Miss Marian!”

    “Kyaaah! Ta-da!” (Cheeks are like feathers! Soft!)

    When I peeked my head out of Emilia’s arms and looked up, I saw the father looking somewhat downcast.

    ‘Certainly not, right?’

    A cold-blooded duke who stays away without shedding a single tear even when his two daughters die!

    There’s no way a man like that would get upset because the baby didn’t kiss him and whined about being uncomfortable in his arms!

    To be honest, I received a gift, and I tried to arrange the hug as a service, but what should I do when it’s really uncomfortable?

    * * *

    “Taeu?”(Huh?)

    Did you fall asleep before you knew it?

    ‘Well, I moved quite a bit… why is my stamina so poor…’

    ‘Is there anyone?’

    Since it was lunch time, it seemed like Emily and the maids were nowhere to be seen.

    After confirming that no one was there, I twitched my fingers.

    ‘oh. I think it’s possible.’

    It was only for a moment, but the magic power stirred and my body rose slightly.

    ‘i can fly!’

    It was a time when I was so excited that I started twiddling my fingers again.

    Sigh. The door opened.

    And pakkkom.

    “!”

    Ebony-like hair fell out, sparkling.

    Two pairs of pink eyes met each other.

    “Oh, my sister is here…”

    “Kyaaa! Kya go kya! ” (Sister! Why haven’t you come lately!)

    It was Maria.

    He responded wildly by clenching and opening his hands. It warms my heart to think that, unlike my father, this is my real family. Although it didn’t appear in the novel, there was a feeling that Maria would have thought about her even after her death.

    “Hehe. Are you happy that your sister came?”

    “Kyaha! Ugh, aha!” (Of course! It’s my sister!)

    I eagerly stretched out my hand. Then Maria came closer and stretched out her hand to meet him.

    I felt a warm hand and then my face hardened.

    ‘what’s this…?’

    I knew it right away because of the gentle eyes and pure white face. The corners of my eyes were red.

    “Me too… I’m so happy. Little brother…”

    As if he had cried.

    My sister is the duke’s daughter. And this is my house. Now that I know that my father is not the opening act… there is a possibility that he is…

    ‘Who made my sister cry?’

    I gritted my teeth in seething anger, but all I could feel was my gums.

    “Ang, aw?” (What’s wrong?)

    “I’m sorry… I have to go now… Actually, I came in exchange for not having lunch…”

    “Taa?!” (What?!)

    ‘What kind of bullshit is this?’

    “Don’t worry! From now on, you can come here every day during lunch time! It’s okay if you don’t eat lunch!”

    “Ta ta ta ta! Ta-ta-u, aiu!” (Sister? What does that mean, why!)

    I succeeded in turning over, but no matter how hard I tried, language did not come out.

    ‘Oh my… I’m going to spin.’

    “Aung! Ah!” (Sister! Say it!)

    After a while of expressing himself by gesticulating with his hands and feet, he started talking as if he was blessed.

    “Well… Actually… Hi, teacher, I mean… I should pack up the house, I-I have to study a lot… I don’t have time to play, if I… make a mistake… with my mom… My younger brother is getting criticized… so… I have to study when I have time to go see my younger brother… ugh…”

    “Taauuu!”

    ‘You bastard! ‘Zip it!’

    What on earth did you say, making such a fuss about your child?

    “I’m sorry… They say you shouldn’t cry…”

    “Aww! Ta ta ta!” (People can cry!)

    Maria turned around and left without saying those words.

    Crash.

    “Ah, aww!” (Okay. Let’s go!)

    As soon as the door closed, I unleashed my magic.

    Paaaat!

    The silver light spread its wings like a bird. As a result, the body rose and was able to fly more freely than a bird.

    “Daetda!” (It’s done!)

    I didn’t know that flying would take precedence over devices, but could it be the power of anger?

    ‘I guess that’s good.’

    ‘found.’

    Shiny black hair. Maria is also cute from the back.

    Carefully, I followed along slowly, sticking to the wall like a ninja.

    ‘Is that your sister’s room?’

    Just before Maria entered and the door closed, it flew quickly and landed on the bookshelf.

    ‘There’s no one.’

    My sister started studying, and I experimented with the magic I had in mind.

    ‘Is it a success?’

    A silver sparrow appeared in front of me.

    ‘Find the butler!’

    The sparrow flew away at high speed.

    It’s a simple magic without even a formula, but it reminded me of a real phone.

    After a while. I heard a voice.

    “As expected, the highest quality is good.”

    As I concentrated, I could see the scenery in the room, although it was blurry.

    ‘Is this the butler?’

    I saw a man wearing a luxurious coat and a watch encrusted with jewels.

    “Lunch time is unavoidable. Well, sometimes you need a carrot. Still, we need to make it a little more compliant…”

    carrot…? Obedient?

    ‘What kind of nonsense is this?’

    No matter how you look at it, it was not an attitude towards the owner.

    After a while, the butler entered the room and class began.

    “Hmm. Miss Maria. As expected, you are so excellent, I can’t even imagine that you had a mother who was a commoner.”

    Maria’s body twitched.

    “Don’t talk about your mom!”

    “You mean mom? You should call me mother. Or how many times haven’t I told you that you should call her Duchess!”

    “Ha, but!”

    “Talking back to the teacher during class? Isn’t this why they say she is the daughter of a duchess who was a commoner? If you do this, the deceased Duchess will be cursed, cursed!”

    It was something Maria had always heard, but the baby watching it was different.

    ‘Hey, me! What does this guy that looks like a carrot pod say!?’

    It felt pitch black rather than gray, but since this is the first time I’ve seen it today, I’ll keep a close eye on it! I had that thought too, but I don’t need to look any further.

    ‘I make you the head of the family. ‘I don’t need you!’
