Swordy and intimidating look on your father's face with dark moonlight.
Even my real daughter, Irius, was scared for a moment, so they must have been pretty scared.
Ilius pulls his face and Smear is completely frightened.
The only thing that hasn't moved is Lucian, who stops next to me.
Lucian, that's amazing.
A trustee who is able to do so.
I looked up at my immediate father while paying my heart tribute to the good servant.
"Father, why are you here? I'm sure you had a job today until late at night.
"Stupid."
A sharp sip.
The demon king was yelled at by his father in the shape of Kakuya.
"I know you're more important, but if anything happens to you, how can I live from tomorrow...?
My father exhaled a lot when he held his eyes tight.
Sighs of anger, anguish, and relief.
I found my heart wavering in a weak father I had never seen before.
"... Father. I'm sorry for causing you to worry....."
"... my liver is cold....... why did you leave the house late at night without telling me a word and without knowing where you were going?
"... because I didn't want to upset your father's hand. If it's about tonight, I don't need your busy father's help, so I thought Lucian and I could handle it....."
That's why I sneaked out of the mansion.
I was hoping that my busy father wouldn't notice when I got home from work.
"Unless I'm sorry for the inconvenience I caused you..."
"... don't apologize, Leticia. You shouldn't be apologizing here."
When his father moaned, he took off the hand covering his face.
Then appeared, as usual, a strong expression of intimidation and rigour.
"The Duke of Eleger's three men, and Smear, the new fiancée of His Highness?
Smear trembled under his father's sharp gaze.
"What the hell were you going to do when you summoned your daughter so late at night?
As soon as she replied, she said she would cut her throat.
That was the only question I could hear.
... your father is a civilian, so there's no way that's actually going to happen...
Unexpectedly, I could hear such hallucinations, and it was already a powerful figure.
"Duke of Gramwell, this is a mistake. We are not harming Miss Leticia."
Instead of Smear trembling, Ilius took his father's sight.
Should I call them insignificant glasses, or at least no superficial upset, with polite, outward-looking expressions and words, relative to your father.
"Are you hurting me? So what brings you here, my daughter? Wouldn't it be dusty to talk in such a lonely place?
"... there are things young people want to talk to each other about avoiding their eyes."
"Talk to each other? So what are you going to tell me about your Smear daughter getting her hair cut off? You're trying to reach out to your crazy daughter and you're in a fight back, right?
"............!!"
Smear distracts her eyes and bites her lips.
Her father looked down at her with his nose snorted.
"Hmm. I heard you took His Highness from my daughter, so I was wondering what a great actress she is, but now I know the bottom line.... the Duke of Eleger's three men, I'm going to complain to your father about tonight and ask for an apology. You'll miss this place, so take Smear there and go back to the Mansion and think of an excuse for your father."
"... thank you for your generous treatment."
Ilius lowered his head and took Smear's arm.
He dragged Smear, who would not hide his regretful expression, and left in the opposite direction to his father.
As you stare at them until they disappear from sight, your father immediately comes down to me.
"Retichea.................."
"Father....."
Standing silently with your father in the moonlight.
I'm sorry to bother you, but now is the time to keep an eye on it.
"You still can't rely on me... I feel sorry for my unreliable father."
"No. I depend on your father and I trust him. No, that's not true."
"... I don't need comfort. It is an indisputable fact that Celina has not been able to treat you well since she lost your mother. Is that why you've been avoiding me and not seeing each other for so long?
"No!!"
This is a terrible mistake.
... after I accidentally screamed, I was convinced that this was the cause of many years of mistakes.
"I respect your father, and I always thought it would be nice to have a good relationship as a daughter... But your father seemed very busy, and he thought it was bad for me to take the time, so he just kept away from contact."
"... what? You admired me for not being a proper parent?
"Your father taught me what a nobleman is. Besides, you've always protected me, haven't you? I know that it was with your father's help that I was able to concentrate on the training of Princess Wang."
Yes, your father was always working for me.
Until now, I was afraid that your father wouldn't show me a smile, but...
Now that I can regain my memory of my previous life and see my parent-child relationship with some objectivity, your father's love for me was beyond doubt.
"Reticcia, you're such a clever and kind daughter to me... That's why I also recommended my engagement to Your Highness's fiancée in order to make use of your talent....."
Your father's gaze became sharper, and his eyes alone could make people faint.
"…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. No matter what happens next, I can't forgive myself for what I did to you and your fiancée."
"Father....."
"You've been desperately educating Princess Wang and working hard without saying selfish things. It may be too late... but if there's anything you want me to do, don't hesitate to tell me."
"... then, Father. Would you laugh at me?
"... what?
When I said what I wanted, my father envied me.
"Leticia, are you serious about that...?
"Can't I? I realize your father's love, but I still wanted a visible proof, and I wanted you to show me your smile...."
"No, that's..."
"Is it difficult?
"... okay. Be prepared."
Ready?
I wondered what to say and asked for your father's expression.
"Ugh!!"
Scary. Super scary.
That's how I first felt about my smiling father.
Yes, smile.
I know your father is laughing, but....
Somehow, this is a very powerful smile.
Thankfully, super/bad face.
Originally your father was strong and intimidating...
Rather than relaxing the atmosphere when I laughed, it was getting more and more dangerous.
It's an expression that only seems to be planning something amazing.
When the child saw it, the uncle smiled as if he were afraid to cry.
"Father, that smile..."
"... is that horrible? Even if you know it well. After all, I seem to be a deadly bad person at making smiles... When I laughed at you just now, you were already crying and avoided for a while... That's why I sealed my smile so I don't want you to hate me anymore....."
"... I'm sorry."
I had no choice but to apologize.
Sure, I thought it was a smile that could make a child cry right now, but I didn't know I was soft when I was a kid...
I've never felt like a child is cruel before.
"That's why your father didn't show a smile to scare me..."
I feel weak without thinking.
I couldn't have predicted that many years of interchange were due to your father's smile.
Your father is a very clumsy man.
I know your father, who lost his wife and had a hard time, is worried about how to treat me as his only daughter...
... I don't know... yeah.
Excellence as a public official and clumsiness as a private person sometimes go hand in hand...
"Oh, that's right. Your brothers told me that my smile was so scary... And I'm sorry to hear you resemble me, my daughter."
"... eh? Wait a minute, what the hell is going on?
I overheard the unexpected.
"I'm supposed to be like your mother, right? The mother in the portrait and I in the mirror were very similar."
"...... I don't know how you look. You're beautiful and adorable like Celina... You look like me when you laugh. This smile is just like my smile..."
You must be lying.
To deny it, I pulled the mirror out of the hidden (pocket) of the dress.
I smiled and was relieved to see a blonde girl laughing softly.
"Here, Father. Take a look. What does this look like to your father's smile?
"Oh, you know. You look like an angel if you laugh like that... Imagine your Highness in front of you. You can smile at someone you think you can't forgive and never want to show your weakness."
"Your Highness is in front of me....."
Remember.
Until now, I have always been careful not to show weakness or pity in front of His Majesty.
When I think of the expression I was trying to hide from His Highness, I reproduce it...
"... wow"
There was an unexpected groan from the ladies.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In shock, I confronted myself with a hand mirror.
There was an invincible girl who narrowed her eyes and fished her lips.
Sure enough, you'll never look weak or pathetic... but you're too villainous.
Even though it wasn't as powerful as your father's smile, it was a sufficiently intimidating smile for a 17-year-old girl to come to mind.
... you're working too hard on your father's DNA.
I was fighting alone with a smile that felt blood even if I didn't respond.
I went to college for about two years, but there were only so many people I could call friends.
I was busy educating Princess Wang and the Duchess, but I thought it was impossible to help...
With the smile of this villain lady, and the title of Duchess Lady and Princess Wang (planned), I realized that others would have come closer.
I know I've seen this smile in the mirror before...
My face and expression are difficult to observe objectively.
Now that I have regained the memory of my previous life, I once again looked in the mirror and was silently shocked by the laughter of my villain.
And now that I realized the destructive power of my smile, I knew that that was why His Highness ran to Smear.
I can't forgive you, and I can assure you there was nothing wrong with me...
I realized that His Highness would have had difficulty breathing if he had been with me with a naughty, dirty smile.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Improvement.
Let's improve our smiles.
It was me who swore that I was totally sorry for the villain.
