The Troublemaker Daughter of the Grand Duke Wants To Live Alone

It was a dense forest. Even branches were blocking the night sky, invading each other’s territory.

Meanwhile, the moonlight cleverly dug into the gap and made Estin’s face even colder.

The man-eating beast, Ursa, caused a lot of trouble walking around the village giving him a headache.

Without saying a word, Estin held hid sword and guarded his surroundings. The blue blade shone sharply.

Well, he’s a cautious guy

Estin lifted her sword and slit her forearm. It was drawn lightly, but the blade was so sharp that it easily penetrated his skin. Soon, a fishy smell of blood brushed the tip of Estin’s nose.

Ursa, who smelled the blood, soon revealed itself.

From the north there was a bright gleam and it soon rushed to Estin. Without hesitation, Estin picked up a sword containing some of his magic and stabbed it in Ursa’s side. He didn’t forget to cleverly twist his wrist to prevent it from rehabilitating due to a large wound in the gut.

The smell of its Blood covered the smell of his blood.

Estin tapped his foot on the side of the dead body and cut open his neck without any expression.

If it were a high-ranking creature who could say anything, it would have been hidden.

In the place where the beast colony is located, a barrier is created using mana stones so it’s impossible for the beast to enter the human’s habitat. 

Ursa, who had no intelligence at all, cannot destroy the location of the barrier.

So, someone intentionally released the barrier so that the beast could run wild.

“Why at this point?”

If the emperor hears it, he might be laughed at for being overly self-conscious, but Estin was suspicious of the timing.

Now, the youngest daughter, who was kidnapped at Conler’s mansion, is back after nine years. And the director of the orphanage who had his youngest daughter disappeared without any trace.

They searched the director’s office of the orphanage just in case, but they couldn’t find any documents related to Mary. But the orphanage children knew that the child’s name was Mary.

So, the kidnapper told the orphanage the name of the child, which might have been a little bit of a joke to the Conler family, or maybe he wasn’t dreaming of a complete crime.

This could be a lot more bothersome than I thought. I’d be very angry if it was even a trick to distract me like this.

The black hair, which had been neatly passed over to present the emperor, was soaked in sweat and scattered on his forehead.

Estin swept his hair that had fallen down on his forehead.

Ursa’s head, which had the shape of a bear, had already recognized the taste of slaughter, and was drooling profusely, revealing its huge fangs.

Its fangs are the size of a child’s face.

The face of the child who flew in the Moonlight came to mind.

When he heard that the child had woken up through Lucas, he felt an unknown sense of relief.

When Estin faced the child, she was only sleeping or fainted.

On the day he went to look after the sleeping child, the child groaned painfully and unconsciously,

He patted her head. He wanted the child’s pain to disappear. He felt like her body was in such great pain that he felt like it’s going to break if he touched it.… Somehow it didn’t feel good.

I don’t think I felt this way when I saw my wife, Helena.

She called her grandmother.

The child drew a line around her mouth as if his touch was quite good and drew her body closer to his hand.

She called her grandmother. Was she someone from the orphanage?

Anyway, looking at a series of images of such a child, he felt like something immaterial was holding his heart tightly.

Is a daughter a little different?

He’s been searching for the kid for nine years, it wasn’t because he really missed her like crazy or because of shallow paternal love, he was just angry that someone dared to kidnap the child of Conler.

The Conler has been said that in exchange for gaining intelligence and physical strength through “the blessing of the devil,” they lost human emotions.

Estin, the current head of Conler, had so many new feelings for her now. The child’s little whining about why he came now seemed to be tying him.

I need to catch the orphanage director and get rid of him, but I can’t believe I’m dealing with something like this.

Estin, who was briefly lost in thought while looking at Ursa’s body, turned around and walked toward the knights.

Can I go see her now?

The knights thought as they looked at Estin walking out in the dark, wiping the blood off his white cheeks.

He’s more like a beast than a beast.

***

I lay prostrate on a fluffy bed.

Ever since I heard that the Duke of Estin was coming back, my mind was messed up.

No, apart from everything else, I had never had a “dad” in my previous life.

So, it was my first time dealing with the existence of ‘Dad’.”

The Grand Duke of the empire was famous for being bloodless and tearless?

“Argh!”

I couldn’t figure out how to say hello for the first time, so I brought a pillow, put it on my face, struggled with my feet, I couldn’t breathe, so I made a sound and put the pillow down to the side again.

Even an interview won’t make me this nervous. 

I knew we would meet again due to the flow of the novel, but when it actually happened, nervousness swallowed me.

It’s also a meeting after a major accident.

I remembered a friend who was the daughter of a student director nicknamed a crazy dog in my previous life.

After playing hooky, she got caught by her dad and went home saying, “My dad will kill me.”

Killed by her da…….

I think this crazy dog’s dad is nothing compared to this dad. 

When I heard about that day from Lucas, Grand Duke Estin personally carried me from the director’s office to the carriage, and even carried me to my bed in the castle.

Despite everything, I…… I don’t remember anything.

What does he look like?

Lucas and Bonita said the Grand Duke had the same hair color as me and similar eye color. And they said he’s a very cold person.

How was the Grand Duke described in the novel? I don’t think there was such a detailed description because he’s not the main character. I sat up in bed, closed my eyes and dug into my memory.

Well, when it comes to black hair and eye color, it’s a characteristic of the Conler family, so it’s….

They said he brought the greatest prosperity to the Britina Empire…….

One of the brief descriptions in the book about the Great Conler was the Marionette of the Imperial Family.

They said that the imperial family borrowed the power of the Grand Duke and he was especially bound by an engagement to keep him in check.

That’s why she was able to get engaged to the Second Prince…

I wiggled my feet wearing red shoes. Come to think of it, when did Mary get engaged to the Second Prince? I was so concerned about my family that I forgot about the male character.

the underlying cause of Mary’s destruction. 

uh… …. The male protagonist must have been trying to protect his love in his own way, but thinking about it from Mary’s point of view, it seems like it would have been unfair to lose her fiancé.

But since Astina was my dear friend at the orphanage, I think it’s right for me to yield? And I don’t want to love the male lead either.

To have a happy ending for everyone…… I know, I have no choice but to yield little by little.

Of course… I can’t give up my inheritance.

“Miss Mary!”

I could hear a thumping sound, Bonita ran with the other maids, grabbed the door, and breathed hard.

In their hurry, I felt an unknown uneasiness and stood up as if possessed.

“You have to hurry up and get ready! The Grand Duke is arriving soon!”

That fast?

I, who was standing beside the bed, was pulled by Bonita and made me sit down in front of the dressing table.

Bonita brushed my hair wildly and began to braid beautifully in two parts with a very urgent and meticulous hand gesture.

It stings a little, but I put up with it. It’s my first time braiding my hair this pretty, so I can endure this much pain.

“You don’t have any particular accessories or clothes yet, so what should I do? The duke will probably prepare them for you when he comes.”

“……really?”

“Of course!”

I tried to be a little excited, but I closed my mouth again. It was because I remembered Mary’s whereabouts during the novel.

Mary started to be hated by the duke and his brothers…… from when Mary started her extravagance. She bought luxurious dresses and jewelry as if to compensate for things she didn’t have.

I think the cause of the trouble was after she tried to covet a certain necklace.

“All done!”

“……I look like a princess.”

“I just braided your hair. It’s all thanks to Lady Mary’s beauty.”

Mary is really…… She was cute and pretty, but because she didn’t manage it properly, she always had a wild charm, but when I tied my hair like this, it felt pretty cute.

Hmm, I think I can be the center idol like this.

I grabbed the end of the braided pigtails and lifted them slightly. I’ve never done this hair in my previous life. It’s possible now because I’m at this age.

“I’m sure the Grand Duke will think it’s cute, too. He only had a son, so how cute would he think his daughter would be after meeting him after such a long time?”

I wanted to ask Bonita if she really thought so, but I just smiled together.

After dressing up, I stood up and spoke to Mary in the mirror.

You can do it, right?

I can do it.

Actually, I don’t know.

I just don’t want to be hated, please.
