From what I could put together, this was a different world, a parallel dimension where I have chosen to adopt someone else as my heir instead of my biological daughter Athanasia, whom I executed for "poisoning" this somebody. This "someone else" is quite different from that other child.

 Athanasia was rather brazen, tearing out my hair and hitting me when she was younger, while this little bug acts like a doll, timid and naive. Hypothetically speaking, it should be better to have a child like this one, one who listens to everything I say without even giving it a second thought, just like a dog. But I really didn't like it. 

I decided to keep pretending to act as if I enjoyed the bug's company for the time being. I, Claude de Alger Obelia am actually submitting to my fate. In previous times, when I was put in a difficult situation, I usually killed my way out of it, but here, I am quite sure that people  will consider me insane for suddenly executing my "precious daughter". 

As for Athanasia, she no longer exists in this world. Thinking about her gave me a headache, so I decided to address the topic later. Still, the thought that I had executed her, even though she was innocent made me loathe myself. I would understand if it had been someone else in her place, but Athanasia? The little girl I had danced with at her debut? This whole situation made me realize, no matter how much I tried to deny it, that I had grown found of that child. 

I couldn't accept that she was dead.  I bet that Athanasius is rolling in his grave, laughing at me for thinking like so.  Someday, I thought to myself, I'll find out the truth behind this whole world and return back to mine, no matter how long it takes.
