episode 3

"The fact that, there's already someone who wants to take this girl. He promised me a lot of money. But if that old man paid more, the story would be different ·······."

"It's just business,and I'm her stepfather!!
"He, he, he, he, he, he, he, he ……."

"Shut up!!Because I don't want to hear anything from your dirty mouth."

The man, who covered his stepfather's mouth in a sad voice, looked at the girl again.

"You haven't answered yet, Are you Dana?"

It was a different way of speaking than when he retorted at my stepfather.

He used honorifics and his tone was polite. The shoulders of the girl, who had been curled up by the treatment of the glorious noble lady, shrank even more.

"Yes, I'm Dana."

"Your father's name is Linte, and your mother's name is Cali, right?"

The girl opened her eyes wide in surprise as her parents' names came out of the man's mouth.

"How did you know that?"

"Of course I know. I've been looking for you hard."

"You were looking for me..? Why?"

'That·······'

The cold man's face gave me a faint smile..
Then the icy impression softened a little and the girl opened her mouth unknowingly.

"Purple eyes"

'What?' 'It's not a color that anyone can have.' The girl also knew that purple eyes were unique. None of the people living in this village or the inn guests passing by this village had this color.
Only her late father had the same color as her.

"But I've been like this since the beginning."

"I suppose so. Because you're Prince Ashinov's granddaughter."

"Granddaughter of Prince Ashinov?"

Dana, who lived in a rural corner, had heard Ashinov's name. It was through the mouths of mercenaries wandering throughout the Empire. They call Ashinov the "monsters."

The mercenaries, who boasted of their strength, cringed their shoulders when they said Ashinov's name.

The girl still remembered the fear in their eyes. What a great being feared by mercenaries who seem strong and scary to me?

"I think you're mistaken. I'm just Dana. I'm just a country girl,
My mother and father were all ordinary people. It's not great or special at all."

"No wonder you grew up believing that. The environment was like this ······."

The man looked around the inn and clicked his tongue. His warm eyes grew cold whenever he left the girl.

"But you'll find out soon enough. What a special person you are. So, please, young lady.
Please allow me to guide you to Asinov's palace. This  place doesn't seem to suit you."

"Who, who will take Dana at will?"

Robin, who was listening to the conversation between the two, pulled Dana toward him, trembling and wobbly.

"Dana is my daughter! I can't take you without my consent!"

'You're not the father of the lady, merchant, let go of that dirty hand.'

"Dana will not go with you! If you don't have my permission never!do you, Dana?

Robin, who shouted to the man, whispered in the girl's ear.
"If you don't answer properly, you'll cause trouble for yourself Dana..."
