How to be a dark hero's daughter X OC

ch-9(sharing stories)

I climbed into the carriage holding Fifi by the leash.

As Fifi climbed into the carriage, the duke's carriage, which was more significant than a regular carriage, I stumbled once. The carriage was full.

"He's so gentle."

I opened my eyes wide. Fifi purred like a cat and continued to rub against Leticia's skirt.

'Fifi is a cute animal, but also scary when he opens his mouth.'

 Jade said indifferently.

"I think he wants you to touch his belly right now?"

We pushed Fifi's soft tummy as if we were doing laundry. Then he made a loud noise.

"How the hell did you tame this tiger?"

"A warlock can hypnotize an animal. Dad went hunting last year and spared this tiger just for fun. After he healed, he was naturally tamed."

Hmm. I see. Well then, he should be safe.

I looked at Fifi's belly. It looks incredibly soft and fluffy. So I went ahead and lightly pressed my nose against it.

Pet pet.

""Oh, this strange softness... I might get addicted/ I think I will get addicted.""

Jade spoke in a voice that seemed like he was holding back laughter.

"You're both fearless."

"You said that he's safe."- I responded

Jade's eyes narrowed.

"How do you both feel?"

"I'm okay. I'm a little afraid to go back to class." "I'm also okay."

"What are you afraid of?" Jade asked as if he really couldn't understand.

"They are all princesses or like so. But we are not. I'm starting to think I should quit school."

Even if they are afraid of the Duke and they won't harm us it would still be awkward if we were to meet at school.

Jade chuckled at her words.

"At your age, it's hard to bear. I understand what that means. You worry about everything."

"...?"

"If you decide to quit, it should be because you want to stay home and play, not because you're afraid. And if necessary, I can expel everyone in the class except for you, so don't worry. But if the kids bother you again..."

"...."

"I'll have to deal with it on my own. As the next head of the family."

I fiddled with the hem of my skirt.

"Thanks for coming with us, Jade."

I've changed. In the past, I thought that even if children of aristocrats misbehaved, there was nothing we could do about it.

Because our statuses were like the difference between heaven and earth. But not now. It hurts my heart to be ignored. Because...

'The people of the duke treat us well, but I'm sorry if I go around being mistreated. Me too... I'm not someone who can be treated like that anymore. Maybe...'

Truly. we...

Have changed.

The winter scene outside the window no longer looks so cold.

'I've changed because there are people who cherish me.'

Now I feel confident in any situation. Perhaps that's a winter miracle.

After reaching home,

Collen gave us his mafia talk, about how we should scare others to let them know who is above them.

I went back to my room as I was exhausted from handling Fifi. After a while, there was a knock I opened the door to see Leticia standing there with Jade.

"You can go to school again from next week"- Jade said

"Ok"

I gave a short answer before turning to Leticia,

"Can we talk now?"

I asked with a tired look, she knew I was not going to take no for an answer so she just nodded her head. I then looked at Jade who was looking at me and asked.

"Brother, is there something you want to say?"

"*Sigh* Father wanted to talk with you. "

"Please tell him that I will be there after finishing talking with Lili"

He nodded and left the room, I turned to Leticia.

"Now tell me what happened after I left from the very start, And don't you dare hide anything from me, please."- I said in a threateningly sweet voice. 

We sat on the bed and she started her story, how she met Collen, helped him, got adopted, about that Rose lady, then the redhead ladies death, how she got poisoned, fell into a coma, woke up from the coma, got healthy and went to an Island to see blue roses, then someone dead, how she solved the case[ yes it includes the daydream she saw] and at last the gifted test, she also told me what dad said while I was back in my room.

"Looks like I shouldn't leave you alone anytime"- I say as I hug her.

'She did seem to hide a few things, even after I warned her. That means only one thing it is not her story to tell.'

I didn't whether to smile or frown, knowing that she had grown up nicely or that she was poisoned and I had no idea.

I was about to break the hug when she tightened the hug. She then slowly said,

"Sister aren't you forgetting something,... You didn't tell me what happened before you left to find me."

"Well, haha..."

"Sister, that is not gonna work."  "Fine"

"Soooo..."

"Sigh, I was harassed by the young master of that household"

She tightened the hug even more, she knew me like the back of her hand just like I knew her. She knew that I wasn't just harassed, something more happened. 

"Something more happened right?"

"ha... I really can't win against you." I felt like crying again I knew that he was dead and I was safe but the scar that he gave me was more than enough. I whispered in her ear but my voice cracked as teardrops fell from my eyes.

"He kissed- m-e..." 

She didn't say anything and just comforted me. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------now with the Duke

Selena was sitting across the Duke, beside her was Leticia who came with her. the Duke announced all of a sudden

"I am going take you to the doctor just like Leticia"

"Huh, why?" Selena asked flabbergasted.

The duke looked at Leticia then back at Selena and said, "Before taking Leticia to the doctor she said that you taught her half of the things she knew."

Selena turned her head to look at Leticia to confirm the statement. Leticia nodded her head.

"Sigh, yes I did teach her some of the things."

"Then we are going"

"No... I won't go"- Selena said that and ran to her room.
