I Adopted A Villainous Dad - Chapter 5

I hated Duke Leavenhook. Not only did I hate him, but I hated him so much that I wanted to erase him from the novel.

It was so bad that when I reread, I skip every part of the Duke of Leavenhook.

I don’t want to see you!

“Be courteous to the Saintess.”

Perhaps because of my stiff look, Luciana restrained the Duke of Leavenhook, who was trying to approach me with a firmer accent.

The eyes of Leavenhook looking at Luciana were fierce, but he quickly straightened his face and smiled.

‘You’re just a maid… That’s what you thought.’

It was so obvious that I didn’t even have to weigh myself.

“Greetings to the first light that shines on the world.”

The Duke of Leavenhook bowed in one knee and worshiped.

After becoming a Priscilla, I had nailed this formal greeting so much that no one could tell the difference.

But it’s okay with Duke Levenhook.

‘This is Priscilla’s revenge.

A little time has passed.

It is only a human nature to receive and get up as soon as I say hello, but I just stared at the Duke of Leavenhook as if I knew nothing.

The Duke of Leavenhook smiled awkwardly. It’s should noted not to treat him like this.

Who dares treat him poorly?

“Yeha. “

I was going to let him kneel down a little more, but Luciana is calling me to stop. I looked down, nevertheless, the Duke of Reavenhook.

It is the Duke of Leavenhook who had the best conditions in the final race, with only 10 candidates remaining, among the candidates drawn across the continent.

What we call a harmonious family, a high status, a thick network and ability. A perfect-scoring candidate who can’t leave anything out.

There’s a high possibility that he manipulated it on purpose, but I don’t like everything about it in anyway!

“Yeha.”

Luciana’s cough grew louder. Well, that’s enough.

I nodded slowly. Luciana spoke to the Duke first for me.

“Your Highness is very shy.”

“I see.”

The face of Reavenhook, who stood up, smiled dimly.

I went behind Luciana and hid. This would usually make it awkward to say a few words and then walk away.

It’s a very convenient way.

“Well, you must be very surprised.”

“I think so.”

As Luciana kept answering instead of me, Duke Leavenhook’s attitude changed a lot.

I knew that the position of a close friend of a high-ranking person was a good place to eat rice cake, but I’m surprised to see such a big change in attitude.

“I didn’t know you would be so surprised. I’m just going to say hello in advance because we’re about to be a family.”

Who’s your family?!

I wanted to retort something right away. But before him, the Duke of Leavenhook laughed and said,

“Because I’ll be Yeha’s little father soon.”7

“……”

I’ve never had a little father like you!

I am itching to say something, but I held back because I am afraid that I would only spit out curses whenever I open my mouth.

‘I’ve never heard of a curse… It’s thrilling.’

Shall we give it a try?

I was seriously considering changing my  life span to try using abusive language, but Benjamin and Ludwig were seen from afar.

“Your Grace. And the Duke. “

Ludwig hurriedly alerted Luciana as he was about to make a formal greeting.

Benjamin greeted with a smile.

“I didn’t know the Duke of Leavenhook would be here, either. “

“I’m so lucky to be able to meet such a busy chief knight right now.

“Hoho, I’m just lucky.”

Seemingly, he had business with little Benjamin, the captain of the Knights.

“Then have a chat with Lord Ludwig, Yeha.”

At Benjamin’s words, the two of them greeted me and went away.

It doesn’t matter…

It’s weird that they’re eating talking to each other. It’s weird. You two aren’t planning any bullshit, are you?

“I hope not…”

“Yeha.”

Luciana called me. Turning my head reflexively, I could see Ludwig quietly guarding his seat.1

Oh, Ludwig!

“Long time no see, Lord Ludwig. “

“It’s been a long time, Yeha.

Ludwig saluted me in an angular position. It was cool, but at the same time, I felt burdened.

Ludwig is such a perfect knight.’

Honest and dependable.

“I heard you called me.”

“I have a favor to ask!”

“I can’t believe you’re asking. I’ll listen to whatever you say. Please give me an order.

Then without hesitation.

“I want you to protect me. “

Of course, the elder and the pope also sent knights on the issue, but they couldn’t just pick with their own hands.

Ludwig bowed to my request and knelt down.

“It’s a great honor. “

“Then will you continue to be my knight?”

“I will sacrifice my life to you.”

“You don’t have to. “

I’m trying to save your life, but I am in trouble.

I didn’t know Ludwig would devote his life to me in this life, but the important thing is that I want to save him.

‘But it’s Ludwig of the Holy Sword.’

Ludwig was still before he got the Holy Sword.

In the original novel, Ludwig pledged allegiance to Priscilla, who became an adult after training alone and gaining a holy sword instead of being escorted.

So it’s a little bit dangerous that if I took my escort now, I might lose my chance to get a holy sword forever.

Isn’t that too harsh for Ludwig?

“Ludwig!”

“Yes. Please speak.”

“Why don’t you take a look at the holy sword?”

“Yes?”

Ludwig looked up at me with a surprised look.

“How did I know…”

Ludwig said with a surprised look he had never thought of. It wasn’t too much.

“I don’t mean to do it right now. I’ll give you a chance, Ludwig.”

Not everyone had a chance to pick a holy sword. I asked him implicitly.

“Would you like to try?”

It doesn’t matter if you don’t do it, but it’s Ludwig.

Ludwig, who quickly cleared up his confused feelings, nodded with a firm look.

“You can do it. “

You have already lifted the sword by your own strength.

I went to you and became your daughter.

The adoption process ended more smoothly than expected. There was a series of disturbances, but this was more smooth than I expected.

“As a divine empire, God says, I can solve anything.”

I prayed with both hands together because I felt guilty about using the cheat key.

God, I believe you will forgive my white lies! No backstabbing among me!

“Oh, I’m still nervous.”

It was a pity that I could not leave a memorandum or a contract because my opponent is a god.

I put my face on the window frame and looked out of the window. Countless people in the hallway outside of the pope’s office were busily huddled.

“It’s probably because of what I did.”

As Melkiade tried to return to the Northern Empire as soon as possible, our departure schedule is two months ahead of schedule.

Thanks to this, preparations for the start have become tight. Of course I wasn’t just playing either.

“I study basic things, I don’t skip worship, and I interview with the Pope!”

And one more thing.

I had a schedule that I would never forget even if I am this busy.

“Daddy~!”

As soon as I saw Melkiade in the distance, I cried out for my dad and ran.

Melkiade’s attitude toward me was softer, perhaps because of the past.

‘But in the eyes of others, it’s the same thing.’

Melkiade, who took me running at a terrific speed, looked at me gently.

“Daddy!”

You can’t leave out your favorite fanatic!

The only thing that I couldn’t leave in my life even if I went to school or work!

‘I loved him even if he couldn’t get out of the monitor or in the paper!’

My love that couldn’t stop even by the dimension, no one could stop it.

“Oh, Dad is shiny again today. What did you eat for breakfast? Handsome daddy?”4

Melkiade’s face hardened.

It was more fun than anything else to watch father’s face because he didn’t know what to say to me.

“Why is your name even dad? “I have a soft ear. “

I heard Luciana’s tackle next to me saying my dad wasn’t a name, but I’m not discouraged!

“Daddy must be biracial, too! Heaven and Lehel’s mixed blood!”

“……”

You must get used to it now, but it seemed like you couldn’t get used to it daddy.

“You’re here, Yeha. “

Kalian greeted me with a good smile. I stared at Kalian.

Kalian is a good person and I like him, but I felt burdened because he wanted to be too close to me.

“Yeha, would you like this?”

Kalian took the candy out of his bosom. I held Melkiade still and gave him strength in my hand.

“Sir Kalian. Yeha is very shy.”

“Oh, I see.”

Luciana, who’s looking at us, answered Kalian instead of daddy. Kalian backed away with a look of regret.

Then Melkiade took the candy from Kalian’s hand and gave it to me.

“Are you going to eat?”

“Hehe. Yes!”

If it’s from my dad, I’ll eat it!

When I took the candy and laughed, Kalian rejoiced. I would be sad if I were you, but I felt sorry when I saw Kalian who was happy.

Do you want to get along with me that much?

“What’s going on at this hour today? Wasn’t it time to pray?”

“Oh, you know my schedule, too, Dad loves me!”

“……”

Melkiade closed his mouth. It was so cute that I laughed and pulled my dad’s sleeve.

Dad was right.

I had a special story to tell my dad.

“Oh, I have a favor to ask of Pa!”

“Favor?”

I nodded loudly at Melkiade’s reply.

“Give me a name!”
