How to be a dark hero's daughter X OC

ch-3( he's dead)😕😌

After waking up again I saw Leticia next to me who was sleeping. I felt that I was shaking and had cold sweat.

'Seems like I woke up from a nightmare.'

It was dawn already, Sel was going to get out of bed but stopped when she found a teddy bear with her name on it. It was a black teddy with purple eyes, it was very cute. I didn't touch it as I was unsure if it was okay to touch it.

"That one is yours"

Sel quickly held the teddy in fear and turned to look at the door, there the duke was standing. He was in his pyjamas as he landed on the door frame with a smirk on his face.

I could tell half of the reason why he was smiling/smirking

'My hair is a mess right now, and I am holding a teddy bear for dear life. '

*flater*

I saw a blue envelope fall, I picked it up and asked the duke.

"Your grace, is this also mine"

I was trying to mimic the maids who were allowed to talk to the nobles.

"Yes, that one is also yours"

I opened it slowly while walking to sit on the sofa, it had a letter inside.

^Hello, princess. My name is Teddy Bear. Give me a new name. From now on, I'm the princess's bear friend. I will give the princess a new name as a gift. The new name of the beautiful princess is 'Selena'. 'Selena' means the moon.^

^It is hard, right? But you did nothing wrong, the one who wronged you is the wrong one. None of it was your fault, the wronged died yesterday. he will not harm you. I the teddy promise that you will be safe with your sister, new brother and father. I will also protect you f-.^

She couldn't read the rest of the words. The tears that she was trying to hold back filled her eyes, 1 tear fell, then 2, then 3. She felt a warm hug surround her. She had only one thing on her mind.

'he's dead'

She tightly hugged the person in front as she bowled her eyes out, it was the Duke

"I am not dirty. I didn't want it, he *hic* he was drunk and *sob* he- " 

"It's ok, I know"

After half an hour of crying

"Are you ok now?"

I was embarrassed for crying so much, so I just nodded and said in a very low voice,

"Yes, thank you. 'dad'. "

"Hmm, what was that?"

I looked at him, he was smirking. 

'he heard me, but he wanted me to repeat.'

I got off the sofa, then looked at Lee who was still asleep, then the duke who was smiling while looking at me. at last, I looked at the door which was still open.

"I said 'Thank you, duke.' "

I started to run out of the room but was caught in the hallway, the duke picked me up and started speaking gently, 

"Now don't run away. You have to take responsibility for what you said. You called me 'dad', we are bound by fate. Also happy birthday Selena."

"Huh, wait what!?

"It's your birthday today, today you are reborn as Selena."

I looked at him dumbfounded, as I said what I was thinking,

"I don't want to be younger than Lili"

Duke saw that I was being serious and started laughing.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Winter has come.

While Collen and Jade were still busy, Zion told Lili not to go out and play alone.

"Can't we play outside for a little while?"

"Miss, it's cold outside. You and Miss Sel went for a walk this morning, didn't you? You'll catch a cold."

"But the sun is out now. Just for a little bit... please?"

Zion cleared his throat and coughed. He rang the bell and called the maids.

"Just for a little while, yes?"

"Okay!"

Leticia looked glum as Zion coughed.

I quickly put on my coat and went outside before Zion could change his mind.

"Misses, put on one more layer."

"If I put on any more, I'll look like a snowman."

"A warm snowman is better than a sick person."

When Zion gestured, the maids placed a chinchilla fur cape over Lili and my coat.

Lili and I played with the ball while wearing gloves. The maids, who were warmly dressed, smiled as they watched us.

"It's fun inside too, but it's stuffy..."

I bounced the ball, wearing gloves.

"Ah..."

Then the ball rolled towards the wall. I ran after the ball.

"I'll bring it. Don't go alone."

"Just wait a minute. I'll just get the ball quickly!"

The maids didn't want to run because of me. The ball hit the wall and stopped.

"Huh? What's this?"

Something sparkled on the ground. I leaned over.

There was a crack in the high wall of the duke's estate. In a gap so small that even a mouse couldn't squeeze through it, there was a blue rose and a red flower was lying there.

"The blue rose season is over."

I bent down and picked up the blue rose. It was the same mysterious blue colour.

I took both of them and put the red flower in my pocket while, taking the blue one and the ball back to Leticia.

'Did someone leave it on purpose?'

Although the blue rose was slightly withered, the flower still had a faint life to it.

Maybe that's right. I thought to myself. The maids called me.

"Lady, come here quickly."

"Yes."

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The maid took us inside, they were about to take off my coat,

"Ah, wait."

The maid stopped although confused, I quickly took the flowers out of my pocket. Zion who was standing there asked a question,

"Miss, where did you find them?"

I tilted my to one side at his tone but still answered

"They were on the fence"

"Miss please give me those flowers."

"Hmm, ok here."

I gave them to Zion and started to go to my room, Leticia who was beside me started talking,

"Sister a very very bad person sends those red flowers."

"Hmm, figured."
