Nikan, who was staring at Philippa and Maki lying on the floor, responded immediately to his daughter's voice.
"Vivian! Are you okay?"
Vivian looked around her bedroom blankly. Her crying maids, nanny, Philippa, and the calm Navia were all looking at her.
'Why is Sister here...?'
Her head was blank.
Vivian was unaware of the situation, but the moment Doctor Hans examined her, she realized that the situation was very strange.
"Why is everyone like that?"
Her eyes soon reached the sword in Nikan's hand.
Looking at it, isn't Daddy trying to kill Maki?
At that moment, she was convinced that the reason her father was trying to kill Maki was because of Navia.
Vivian began to shed sad tears again.
"Don't kill Maki and Nanny! Uang!"
Nikan took a deep breath.
"...ha."
It was a sigh to replace the curse that almost came out. No matter how young his daughter was... it's unacceptable to defend a deceptive maid. However, he could not ignore his daughter's words.
If he ignored his out of breath crying daughter, he felt like she would really go out of her mind if he disposed of them.
"Okay. Okay, so stop crying, Vivi. You're going to faint again."
Nikan, who held the crying Vivian, patted her on the back.
Whether that looked like a caring father...
Navia looked at the situation quietly as if she had already been forgotten.
She was used to this.
She always watched his ecstatic affection, like the brilliant sunshine and the scent of flowers of the center of the world, from afar. The brighter the brilliant family seats for them were, the darker the shade where Navia sat was.
She was the darkness here. That was the fate of stand-in.
Navia's eyes were on Philippa and Maki.
They were relieved and had smiled on their faces.
Their loyalty to Vivian deepened, not to mention that their hatred for Navia also deepened.
"Navia."
Nikan spoke to Navia while holding Vivian.
"The gifts I gave you are all yours. So you don't have to return them."
Vivian flinched for a moment but didn't react any further. Because she felt instinctively that it was better to stop there.
Navia took a step back and greeted him with flawless and graceful movements.
"Thank you, Father."
Nikan sodded satisfied.
"Yes, go back now."
"Yes."
Navia ignored the looks of resentment directed at her and left the bedroom.
When the door closed, Nikan let go of Vivian and told Philippa and the maids.
"Vivian saved your lives."
Philippa and the maids bowed their heads.
"...thank you for your mercy."
Nikan clicked his tongue looking at the pathetic things and turned back to Vivian.
