How to Be a Dark Hero’s Daughter

Saturday came. I stood with my mouth open in front of the pet that Collen had brought from the woods.

“Really… Really? You were raising this kid at home?”

“Don’t worry, just take it with you. This kid’s name is Fifi. If you call his name and touch his head, he will become docile.”

I saw the animal sitting quietly beside Collen with twinkling eyes.

Was it possible to keep something like that right in the capital? I backed away without realizing it.

“If you don’t like it, I have other animals as well.”

“What else?”

“Except for living in the water… Ah, there is an elephant that I received as a gift from another continent some time ago. I gave it to the zoo, but I can bring it back.”

Zion, who looks oddly determined today, smiled at me.

“Don’t worry, lady. It won’t bite you.”

“No, it’s not a matter of biting or not.”

“Come on, get in the carriage.”

“…Really? Zion, are you really saying it so calmly?”

I opened my mouth. At this time, Jade came out. There was something unusual about him. He was holding some kind of gloves in his hand.

“Leticia,” said Jade. “I heard the story.”

“What are you talking about?”

I opened my mouth. What the hell was going on with these three?

Is it such a big issue that other kids ignore me at school? Well, of course, I felt bad for several days, but still…

“I’m going with you.”

“Why is this…?”

“At your age, I’ll be more helpful. And sometimes, a guy who doesn’t have much of an age gap acts as an accessory.”

Jade smiled and got into the carriage. The carriage began to move.

“Come on, your friends are waiting.”

Jade got off the carriage first and gave me Fifi’s leash.

I walked forward as if I was being dragged.

“So, I was talking about it at a party a while ago.”

“My mom said she’ll inherit it to me when I grow up.”

In the greenhouse of the park, my classmates except for me were sitting at a table with a small dogs or cats on their lap and chatting in groups of two or three. And when I appeared…

The place became the scene of a chaos.

“What’s this?!”

“No, ah!”

“Woof woof! Meow meow!”

“Kyaa!”

That’s right, Fifi… he was a tiger the size of a house. Real tiger. Huh. The one that lives in the jungle.

Fifi shook his head and looked around the greenhouse as if he were preparing to hunt.

Fifi held his head high and walked around the greenhouse with an expression on the verge of hunting. It was natural for the children to run out of breath.

Grr, grrrr.

Fifi began to growl in his throat like a beast. The puppies in the arms of those children urinated, and the children cried and collapsed.

“Aaaahh!”

“Save me, save me!”

As Fifi walked away, I was dragged along by the tiger.

“You, that… what is that?”

Lavigne asked me against the background of other children on the verge of fainting.

“Dad lent me a pet. His name is Fifi. Raised by Duke himself.”

“Dad, duke?”

Lavigne muttered half-consciously.

Grrr.

When Fifi came a step closer to Lavigne, the latter fell to her knees and began to pray.

“Please don’t eat me!”

“Ah, he doesn’t eat people. Unless their masters tell them to.”

Jade stepped forward. Only then did Lavigne discover him, and her eyes trembled.

“I have expectations because it was said to be a pet walk meeting. It’s more boring than I thought.”

“Jade?”

Lavigne’s face went blue and then red, and there was an uproar like a traffic light.

Jade grinned. He still had an angelic smile.

“Princess Lavigne.”

Was Lavigne a princess? This was a fact that I didn’t know. So, did I get into a huge fight with the princess?

“I came to thank you for how kind you have been to my sister.”

“Yes that’s right. I tried to befriend her, but she refused… I think she doesn’t like us. Don’t get me wrong, Jade. There…”

Jade’s face was cold.

“No matter how young you are, you should know perfectly well that you will be living in the royal palace for a long time.”

“…”

“Is Princess Lavigne the fourth or fifth of the royal family? When did the fourth die?”

“…!”

Jade asked meekly. It was a sight that I had never seen before.

“Princess, there are several people in the royal family who can replace the princess, but the duchy only has one and only daughter. If you act so arrogantly, if the relationship between the duchy and the royal family deteriorates, will His Highness continue to value the princess?”

Lavigne’s entire body began to tremble.

“Please draw conclusions and take action.”

My jaw dropped at the scene. Jade called me.

“Honey, say hello to your friends. I’m so glad to visit you here today. And I think everyone is crying because they are so happy to see me today.”

After all, Jade was from Duke’s family…
