How to Be a Dark Hero’s Daughter

‘Did I really think Collen was going to do this stupid thing?’

I held the hem of my skirt with both hands and hesitated.

Suddenly my body was lifted into the air. Collen hugged me and looked me in the eyes.

“But if the world’s most precious girl is angry, I have to learn it.”

“…”

“I’m sorry honey,” Collen whispered.

“I’m sorry if I got caught, isn’t that what you mean?”

Collen winced and raised his eyebrows.

“I’m just interested in your every move. I think it befits a father. Next time I’ll politely ask you to show me, okay?”

“Okay. Got it.”

“So you hate your dad or not?”

“No.”

I said in a low voice like an ant.

Collen burst out laughing.

“Yeah. You are the only one who can play with Daddy’s heart.”

I laughed with Collen. By the way, about the school. Will there be children my age?

It was finally the day to go to school.

I woke up earlier than ever. The maids were already waiting for me in the dressing room.

While I changed, Collen and Jade waited outside, reading the newspaper.

Marianne stood next to me and looked at my clothes.

“No. No. Give me another. White dress, is it like a priest’s or what? It looks old-fashioned like for a temple!”

And the person who says was the Saintess, the living symbol of the temple.

I laughed awkwardly.

“They did the right thing by calling me. My baby is going to school for the first time, but I still need to teach her to dress well.”

The maids removed the white dresses and brought in new ones, as Marianne had ordered.

“This is much better. Strawberry hair and mint color go well together.”

“Really?”

Wearing a fresh mint-colored dress, I turned around as Marianne told me. The maids smiled.

“I’ll tie a ribbon around the dress and braid your hair in two ponytails.”

Marianne shook her head.

“So she will be lost against the background of those other schoolchildren! Do it in half. Don’t put the tape too wide. Give me a ribbon with jewels on it. I like this one.”

She went through the jewelry boxes and pulled out a green ribbon with white sapphires in the middle.

“Do you want to ask why this all? You should wear your best clothes. Let all the little girls in the whole world know that my daughter is the most beautiful in the world.”

Collen inserted his comment.

“Collen, you don’t understand anything about this. How sensitive and gentle children are at this age. The first day is the most important one.”

Again, Marianne was more reliable on these things than Collen.

“I love the clothes that Marianne has chosen. Marianne’s always looks great, so I can trust her taste,” I said with a smile.

Because Mariane seems to have a personality that likes to take care of others in this way. And I love her attention too.

“Oh yeah? If I was asked what is the most precious thing in this house, I would point to this sweet and beautiful girl.”

Mariana kissed me on the cheek.

“Saintess.”

“Don’t kiss my sister too hard. You will spoil her.”

Jade said lazily. Marianne just shrugged. Then she smiled playfully.

“You will make new friends at school.”

I don’t know if it will work.

Friends. New friends… Oh, my only friend was Walter.

How is he doing? He is healthy? I looked out the window. I was indebted to him.

“I’m interested in the school itself. I’m just starting to study, so I’m worried if I’ll be able to catch up.”

“A lot of kids go to commoners’ schools? It’s probably very different from the schools you’re imagining. In aristocratic schools, the more elite the minority, the more prestigious it is.”

“is it so?” I blinked.

So, is it very different from the school I knew in my previous life?

“Brother, what is the name of that school?”

“Madame Pauline’s Noble School.”

“…Really?”

Marianne’s eyes widened. She hurried out of the room.

“How did you get admission there? Donation?”

“There is one way.”

I looked through the partitions. Marianne leaned over to Collen and lowered her voice.

“I’m concerned about your choice. Madame Pauline’s school… such a place.”

I was surprised by the expression on Marianne’s face and her conspiratorial look. What’s the matter?

Is this school so great?
