Chapter 195 – Past: Daisy (2)
The little girl’s name is Daisy.
Now she must be five or six years old.
It was a name she didn’t know. The name I don’t remember means it’s not a character in 〈 Blue Rose Garden 〉.
But.
It’s kind of irrelevant.
It’s been a long time since I realized through Leticia that this world is not just a world in a game, but a reality in which I live.
Still, I still want to see the ‘character’ at least once.
“He, my daughter, is very rude…”
She kept her mouth shut, thinking nonsense, but Logan, pale and blue, stammered, wondering what scenes were going through her head.
“Hmm? Um, that’s fine.”
If this is an empire and there are many ears to listen to, there is no feeling that the prince luck has gone a little far.
Maybe it would be okay even if it was. What if he was not a prince but a prince?
No Rather, it may have been a problem to call him a prince rather than a king.
Either way, I had no intention of punishing the girl, so I waved her hand around.
“Still, it’s dangerous for a kid like this to be out alone, so I guess it’s better to stay in the shadows.”
Seruk.
The moment I tried to protect it in the shadows by raising a shadow and gently wrapping it up like a blanket in case it might get scared if it attacked me too suddenly.
“No! I want to stay with the prince!”
“Huh… !”
Hmm.
The pink-haired kid clung to my leg. Logan, who was watching, didn’t turn blue like before, but he looked at me and opened his mouth.
“Do you hate being in the shadows?”
“It was cozy and nice! But next to the prince is even smaller!”
Is it.
I honestly don’t know what you’re talking about. Being a child is difficult.
Still, I didn’t feel bad. Leticia was the only support in my life stained with blood. To me, the existence of a child who genuinely shows kindness is a must.
… I’m not even married, but it feels strange to say that I’m a daughter. Should I just say that I have a younger brother with a big age gap?
“Okay.”
“… Gwa, are you okay?”
“There is nothing that can’t be done.”
However, it was right before the family meeting. It was impossible to bring this little boy into the conference room, so he lifted the little boy and put him in Logan’s arms.
“Crying! I hate you! I want to stay with the prince!”
“Hey, this guy. Do you know where you are and do you cry or cry? … Although His Highness the Duke is of course very handsome! Still, Your Highness will hate it if Blackwood’s daughter cries so carelessly!”
Despite urging her daughter, she said, “Still, my daughter has eyes. You can’t lie about your bloodline, it’s true that you cling to His Highness the Duke… Haha.” They say the same thing and laugh happily.
Guess who isn’t Blackwood.
“Go in.”
Maybe it was because of the fuss, but the way he looked at me was quite blatant.
Thud!
When I step on her and sprinkle magic power on her, only then do I take her eyes off one by one.
“… Scarlett Chepes.”
Conference room.
As if he had been waiting for me since he had come first, an old man greeted me, filling all the seats except for my seat.
Elder of Nosferatu. In terms of distribution alone, I am one generation above my predecessor, Gram.
So, he is an old man of the same generation as my grandfather.
“How did the old man get this far with a bent waist?”
By the way, this is the nature of Nosferatu.
At the same time, the old man, who had become an old man who could not easily move around because of a back pain in his own home, was silent for a while.
“… I didn’t call you to fight like this. I don’t want you to wrestle.”
Don’t come over
I expected. It wouldn’t have known if it was the head of a family that was just starting to enjoy its heyday, but it didn’t seem like the old man, who was approaching the end of his long vampire life, would lose his temper and lose his temper.
“Nosferatu, Draculea, and Cepes… Communication between our three families has been almost cut off for the past hundred years. In commemoration of you as the new head of household, we prepared this place to start active exchanges again.”
First of all, it was a hundred years ago that I became the family head.
Rather than saying that they weren’t interested in me, it must mean that now they’re really going to treat me as being on the same level as them.
They are tired To be honest, it was a place I didn’t want to come to, but I still needed to see it at least once, so I came all the way here.
In conclusion,
‘… If you’re determined, you’ll come together.’
Even against all the personnel here, in the citadel of Nosferatu, in the worst case, annihilation, assuming they have a hidden number.
If you don’t have that, it’s a narrow victory.
If you prepare more in advance and defeat the opponent in parts rather than all at once, it will be neat.
‘Complete victory.’
In the first place, there is no such thing as a narrow victory for a vampire.
If he doesn’t die, and once he wins, it’s no different from a complete victory for a vampire who can regenerate any fatal wound.
In other words.
If the guys here right now can’t hide it any longer.
If these are the current maximum strength of the two families excluding Chepesch.
‘It’s not something to worry about.’
Over the past hundred years, it has somehow revived the status of Chepes. In the process, there was quite a bit of friction with the two families, Nosferatu and Draculea, but there was no major conflict.
I stepped out in moderation and even covered it up.
There were also things that the other two families didn’t bother to raise.
The ship is already ruined anyway, so don’t bother touching it, let it ruin itself… It must have been the thought.
In fact, Chepesch was obviously much weaker than the other two families.
But that is a thing of the past now.
In the end, they reached the point where they couldn’t handle me and Chepeshu even with the strength of their families and even the strength of each individual.
I came all the way here to check it out.
I’ve checked everything I want to check, so I’ll have to go back after an appropriate time.
“Ah, Scarlett. Come to think of it, it’s not time for your sister to find a mate either——”
“I have no idea.”
Should I just kill them all here?
*
Unfortunately, I couldn’t put it into practice.
The meeting didn’t last long after that, and it ended without any dialogue whatsoever.
It’s probably not that they invited me because they really wanted to be friendly with me in the first place, and I also had no intention of being friendly with them, so it was a natural result in a way.
It was a satisfactory result for me to have achieved my goal, but they had no choice but to let me go while only staring at my back at the subtle result.
What are you going to do, I’m going
So he returned with Logan and Daisy.
“Prince! Don’t go!!”
Little boy has no fear
I’m restless trying to become Logan to Daisy, who clings to my waist again and doesn’t let go of me as I try to leave for Chepesh territory.
Even if you say so, you have to go.
Leticia is waiting for you. Perhaps even now, instead of going anywhere in the spacious mansion of Chepes, he is stuck in my room and, like an innocent and pitiful princess, “Scarlet…” When are you coming…” And she’d be shaking her shoulders pitifully.
“Daisy, Your Highness must return now! Come on down!”
“No, it’s okay, but…”
Rather than that, don’t make an envious face, the bearded man.
He’s actually younger than me, but at face value, he looks twice as old as me.
I put my hand in the little boy’s armpit and lifted it up.
“Wow!”
Don’t you know how to hide your face?
“He’s so timid and shy, but it’s not like that with His Highness, so I’m embarrassed…”
No
Is there really something in Blackwood’s genes?
Could it be that the distant ancestor Chepes had the ability to manipulate genes?
“Prince, don’t go!”
“I have to go.”
“I’m going to cry!”
He’s even threatening me now.
I was a little taken aback because I wasn’t used to dealing with children.
“… Do I really need to go?”
“Okay?”
“… Hing.”
But he seemed to know at least that he couldn’t be stubborn forever.
Even if you’re a child, you have a sense of humor. Especially if it’s a clever kid.
Daisy pursed his lips, then raised his head and started running toward the Blackwood mansion.
“Oh.”
Then I turned around and saw this.
“Prince, we can’t go anywhere yet~! Dad, you should be watching closely, okay?!”
“Heh heh heh…”
Logan, who was entrusted with a heavy duty, only laughed in vain.
Curious as to what the little boy was looking for, I decided to wait in silence.
The kid who follows you around was cute too.
I waited for a few minutes like that.
“Prince!”
Daisy, holding a flower in one of his hands, came running. I looked carefully to see if I would fall, but fortunately no such misfortune happened.
Indeed, is this also the quality of a samurai? Even though it was running at full speed, it braked exquisitely and stopped in front of me.
Pure white flowers with dense, thin petals.
“Daisy!”
Daisy gave me a daisy flower. He accepted it lightly, and Daisy stomped his foot.
“Since I got this, I have to come again after the prince!”
“Okay?”
“Huh! Daisy gave Daisy, so next time you have to come back and give Daisy back!”
“Hmm.”
The mindset of a young child is difficult to understand.
It seems like there was a logical leap in the middle, but anyway, since I have to return the daisy I gave as a gift later, it must be that she come see me again.
“Then what if I give it back now?”
Kugoong!
Daisy, frozen as if struck by lightning, opened her mouth as if she hadn’t thought of that.
“Uh, that, yes.”
“But the flowers are very pretty. Can I return it later?”
“… Yes!”
Shall we stop teasing here though? As I smiled and brushed her hair resembling cherry blossom leaves, the girl smiled brightly.
Like that, the strange meeting between me and Daisy continued several times after that.
