How to Be a Dark Hero’s Daughter

So Collen allowed Zion to briefly report them Leticia’s study and growth through him. Today’s presentation was also part of that.

“I will serve the duchy all my life.”

The loyalty and morale of the employees who received the card written by the young lady were sky-high.

They were all holding it like a scripture.

“A while ago, you told this old couple that the trees were able to bloom lots of flowers in summer and fall, and rest deeply in winter because of the gardener. You said the trees would be grateful.”

“This morning, you said it was a day to give cards to our employees, and you looked in the mirror three times saying that your hair didn’t look too childish!”

Testimonies about the young lady’s cuteness burst out one after another.

After watching the video, Zion spoke.

“Next is the latest news about the young lady.”

“…”

“The young lady has finally grown taller. She’s grown 3cm.”

“Oh oh!”

The employees were moved and applauded.

“She received a compliment in the school newsletter saying she’s smart and does well in her studies. Not only that, but she’s also praised as a genius in the royal family.”

“As expected of our young lady!”

Suddenly, the employees were giving a standing ovation.

“Yesterday, she went to the front garden wearing a cloak with bells and said she did 50 jumping jacks without even getting out of breath. She seemed happy about gaining weight and becoming healthier than before. She bragged about it twice that day.”

“No wonder her cheeks are so rosy these days, she looks very healthy!”

“Oh, my angel!”

That was it.

The secret worship of the angel was the factor that boosted the morale of the employees in this mansion.

Leticia, who had fallen asleep, opened her eyes slightly on the bed.

‘Is there a storm coming?’

She heard something loud outside. Leticia yawned.

‘I’m thirsty.’

Coincidentally, the water bottle on the table was empty today. Leticia pouted and put down her hand on the table.

The magic lamps in the hallway were half-lit, making it somewhat dark.

‘Oh, right, the teddy bear.’

Leticia hugged the teddy bear. It was better to have it than not. Having it made her less scared.

“…Wooh, wooh.”

“An angel, an angel.”

Are these voices coming from hell? Leticia was startled.

‘Everyone should be asleep by now, right?’

Who is making noise in the basement?

‘It seems like some people are awake.’

At first, she wondered if Collen had gotten into trouble again. But the noise was too loud.

‘Could it be a group of thieves?’

That would be terrible. Leticia lowered herself and slowly headed towards the basement.

“Leticia?”

Someone called out to her. Startled, Leticia lifted her head.

“Dad.”

Fortunately, it was Collen.

‘Could it be…?’

Collen checked Leticia’s body up and down, but her clothes weren’t disheveled and there was no smell of blood.

‘You weren’t working?’

Leticia understood.

“Why are you wandering around at this time?”

“I heard strange noises. I wondered if someone had broken in.”

“Oh, it’s the first day of the festival. The servants are having a party.”

Leticia nodded.

Collen hugged her. Leticia clutched a teddy bear tightly in one arm.

“You woke up because of the noise. I should scold them.”

“No, our employees are all good people. I delivered the cards today and they all thanked me.”

Leticia smiled. Collen smiled back.

“You did well to come out with the bodyguard. Let’s go to the room. I’ll put you to bed.”

Bodyguard? Realizing he meant the teddy bear, Leticia laughed.

“Yes, Dad.”

Leticia wiped her eyes, which had started to water from the cold, and spoke.

“Do the servants drink and have fun during the festival?”

“They’re more than just drunk. Don’t worry. It’s a very healthy event. I’ll show you just for one day.”

“Yes…”

Collen had a lot of mysteries, Leticia thought as she went to bed with Collen in his room after drinking cold water.

As soon as Collen put her on the bed, Leticia fell asleep soundly.

‘Uh, Dad… Brother…’

That night, Leticia dreamed of traveling through the Milky Way with Collen and Jade, holding her teddy bear.
