By the Power of Divine Virtue

It didn't take much time from the Vios Holy Empire to the Lehel Northern Empire.

The Lehel Northern Empire was a large empire on the map, and it's capital, Helloz, was close to the Holy Empire at the center of the continent.

"Why doesn't it take longer?"

Others wanted to arrive soon, but I am different. Rather, I even shed tears as to why it's so close.

"Further! Should have been farther!"

I've been very happy for the last three weeks.

Whenever I open my eyes in the morning, or even before I went to bed in the evening, I could stay beside Melkiade all day.

"This is heaven."

I don't have to study or pray! I can only be with my favorite all day long!

With my hands tightly clasped, I enjoyed my view of Melkiade, who had a serious conversation with Kalian.

Eventually, Luciana opened her mouth.

"Yeha.

"Huh?"

"Calm down a little."

"Why?"

"Your eyes are on your father."

A little sane returned to my expression. I tried to control myself.

I leaned back against Luciana and lowered my voice.

"Is it obvious?"

"Yes."

"Is that too much?"

"Yes."

Then there's nothing we can do.

It was a shame, but I turned my eyes to the other side. I could see a mountain in the distance.

'Ten, nine, eight, seven...'

Mountains are mountains and water is water.

The number I am counting inside my head is finally over.

'......this, work! Wrong!'

I looked at my dad again.

It's even more thrilling to see him again in 10 seconds. Why so handsome?

Next to me, Luciana shook her head. I sighed that seemed to have given up, but I didn't care.

"You know, Lucy. My dad says he's a bad person."

"Well, I see."

She must know that. Luciana saved her words as if she were embarrassed. Maybe she heard the rumors about Melkiade.

"But you know what? A really bad person doesn't say that."

Of course, Melkiade was a bad guy. He's never a good man. Yes, he was a good man now compared to the future.

'How do I do it?'

My heart became heavy.

'How can I stop my dad from becoming a villain?'

He was already a villain when my father appeared in the novel.

The character is exploding with so-called "middle-aged wannabe" style.

"Oh, I'd like to read it again."

I wanted to read the chapter again, where Melkiade first appeared.
