How to Be a Dark Hero’s Daughter

No matter how hard I try, I feel like I’m falling behind Cedric in the art field.

‘Is it not cheating that his etiquette score is higher than mine?’

Zion tilted his head.

“What’s wrong, my lady?”

“My report card.”

“Oh, you’re the top student. Excellent, but… oh no, people will compare you to Prince Cedric again.”

“Will they?”

I don’t understand why people make such comparisons. He’s royalty, after all.

I recently heard that Cedric is expected to be a genius among the royal family.

So it seems like there are many people comparing me, who has the rumor of being a genius lady of a duke, with him.

The rumor of a genius lady of a duke seems to be problematic in itself.

‘They say he’s good at drawing, singing, and even memorizes everything at once?’

Hmm. I thought of Cedric’s pretty face.

‘I’m completely inferior in art, etiquette, and even social dance.’

No matter how I look at it, I feel like I’m falling behind in terms of overall ‘inferiority complex’.

Zion smiled.

“You know what, let’s measure our heights for the first time in a while.”

“Oh! Okay.”

I jumped up from my seat.

Zion measured my height against the wall.

“Hmm….”

“Did I grow taller?”

I was excited. I wanted to grow taller, even if it was just a little.

“Yes, you grew 3cm taller,” Zion spoke solemnly.

Then Zion marked my height with a colored pen above my head.

I took my back off the wall.

“Wow, I grew taller!”

Finally, my height, which had been stagnant for a while, had gone up.

“I stopped growing for a while after I grew a little last year, but now my height mark is here!”

“You said your arms and legs have been hurting in the morning lately. Maybe your growth spurt has really started.”

“You’re right!”

The issue of the report card was forgotten. At that moment, we heard the sound of a carriage.

“I think younf master Jade has arrived at the gate. Don’t run, my lady!”

“Jade!”

I ran down the stairs as fast as I could.

Jade got off the carriage, and I jumped into the arms of Jade, who was much taller than me.

“You’ll get hurt if you keep doing that.”

“I missed you! It’s been six months!”

“It was long this time.”

“Yes, really. I mean it.”

I can’t stop smiling.

Jade has arrived!

“Has everything been fine?”

“I grew taller!”

I bragged right away.

“Yeah, finally grew taller after eating so much?”

“What do you mean finally? It’s just the beginning. I’ll keep growing rapidly.”

Will I also resemble them by growing taller? Collen, Jade, and Zion are all tall. I want to be influenced positively like them and grow taller.

I already feel excited.

“Still, isn’t it still worth lifting you like this?”

Jade smirked and lifted me up. These jokes are always fun.

I laughed out loud.

“You won’t be able to lift me up soon once I grow taller.”

“That’s not true. I’ll grow taller while you’re growing taller.”

“Well, if Jade gets too tall, it’ll be hard to lift me up.”

He’s already too tall.

“So try to catch up with me with all your might.”

I grabbed Jade’s collar.

He put me down.

“Let’s go in. It’s still chilly outside.”

I nodded and went into the mansion with Jade.
