I’m the Main Character’s Child

She did not let go of my hair while rolling back the wet soil.

Before I knew it, the garden was filled with the screams of the maids.

“You’re not gonna let go?”

The maid noticed that I wouldn’t let go easily, so she pushed my shoulders.

The pain spread over my shoulders.

“This….!”

The maid, who had only been looking from behind, was about to join forces to separate me.

“What are you doing now?”

In a instant, I shuddered hearing that voice.

I didn’t want to meet him like this, but I ended up meeting him in a very bad way.

The maid’s hand fell quickly as Cardin looked at us.

“I, I greet the master.”

The maids rose in a flash and bowed down to show their respect.

“This…explain.”

Cardin asks with a threatening tone.

The maids trembled at his voice.

“Th, that…”

‘She’s guilty so she couldn’t say it easily.’

As the maids hesitated to answer and only looked at each other, Cardin continued,

“If you didn’t say anything, I’ll take it as a sign that you’re ready for death.”

I could see the maids turn even paler.

‘The reason why Cardin is so angry because we ruined Reina’s garden.’

Cardin looks even more terrifying this time.

“Th, the princess suddenly grabbed my hair and pulled it!”

‘No, me?’

The maids continued to pour out words that are favorable to them.

“That’s right! The princess suddenly pulled her hair down to the floor.”

My head aches hearing the maid’s words.

They must be saying that because they knew he doesn’t care about me.

“Stop it.”

Cardin shut the maid’s mouth as if he no longer wanted to hear the noisy maids’ excuses.

Now his gaze was on me, not the maids.

I wasn’t at fault here, they started it first.
It was so unfair.

“I feel wronged!”

The thought went straight out of my mouth.
My loud voice echoed through the garden.

“……”

“It’s unfwair, I didn’t dwo it first!”

‘Oh dear.’

I wanted to properly defend myself, but I was so excited that I couldn’t pronounce every word clearly.

I’m still six years old, so it’s natural to do so.

I think my face is getting a little red due to the embarrassment.

“….who did it first then?”

Oh my god, Cardin asked me a question for the first time.

I was already thinking of him ignoring my words and just going away, but that’s a relief.

‘There must be something I didn’t know.’

After receiving the memories of my past life, I had been trying to evaluate the people here by observing them.

Among them, I evaluated Cardin, who did not show his face until his daughter grew up to be this big.

As a contributor to the cause of harassment by the servants, I evaluated him as a terrible father.

However, I felt like he was not that bad, considering the way he acted yesterday and the attitude he’s showing now.

We’ll have to wait and see.

“I was standing here and they suddenly sprayed the water first.
Like this!”

I picked up the water spray and reenacted what the maid had just done.

The water was sprayed on their stomach.

“Oh my, princess!”

The maids shouted in astonishment.
They were such a fearless maid.

Can’t they see Cardin standing in front of them? I am his child.

“You spray the water to me on purpose, stop lying!”

“Hey, you!”

The maid seemed to have forgotten that I am Cardin’s daughter and there was him standing next to me.

One of them grabbed me roughly by the shoulder.

“Argh!”

At that moment, the maid’s hand was surrounded by a black smoke.

The maid shook her hand to get rid of the black smoke, wiped it with an apron, and struggled, but it was useless.

“Ah, it hurts!… I’m afraid my arm is going to be cut off.”

Her hands looked fine on the outside, but her hands, covered in black smoke, had a cramp and soon collapsed helplessly on the floor.

“That…”

I didn’t expect to see that in person.
Cardin, a mage swordsman, uses a combination of sword and mana.
But it is a rare scene that can only be seen when there are monsters.

There are only five mage swordsmen in the continent, including Cardin.

Among them, Cardin had the best ability to combine mana and sword.

His ability is known to be incomparably powerful compared to ordinary mage, and Cardin is the only one who can handle it freely.

As expected, he is a hero in the novel.

“Duke!”

From far away, I could see the knights running this way.
They seemed to have heard the commotion.

“What is this…”

They couldn’t hide their perplexed looks at the sight that had come before them.

The floor is full of water, me and the maids are soaked while Cardin uses his powers on the maids.

“Du, duke.”

“Arrest them.
Their crime would be the contempt of nobility.”

“Yes, sir.”

The knights dragged the maids out of the garden as soon as Cardin finished.

The only person left in the garden was me and Cardin.

Can I think that Cardin helped me in this situation?

I looked up at Cardin silently.
I’m still not sure what he’s thinking about with no expression.

Why did I make this problem in a place filled with happy memories to Cardin?

“Are you going to drag me out too?”

I said it without thinking much.
I realized it too late and closed my mouth.

Cardin was still looking at me expressionless.

It would be nice if he could say anything, but Cardin didn’t seem to open his mouth.

“Did I do something wrong? you look really upset.”

Now that I am here, I just said whatever I wanted to say.

With my shoulders straight and my hands on the back, I asked Cardin proudly.

Cardin looked down at me quietly and finally opened his mouth.

“You’re very dirty.”

“…..”

It’s Cardin’s habit.
I already read the novel. 

I knew about this, but I was a little upset.

Even when he first met Reina, he didn’t hide his rude way of speaking.

“You’re not asking me if I’m okay? My body’s all wet and I got a scar here.”

“Say…”

Cardin wanted to say something, but soon closed his mouth and I didn’t know what he was trying to say.

“Say? Say what?”

I couldn’t hold my curiosity and asked again persistently.

Maybe if I say ten words, he’ll tell me a word.

“Since when did you start speaking?”

What does that mean? When did I start speaking?

“Well, when I was four years old? My nanny would know.”

“….I see.”

Is it just my feelings or does this awkward atmosphere between Cardin and me have been going on since they all left?

Is he waiting for me to leave first?

Like yesterday, in a situation where we are quietly facing each other, I decided to speak first.

“Do you have anything to say to me?”

His eyebrows went up and down slightly at my confident question.

“Why are you here?”

“It’s a secret.”

The Eldora flower was already mixed with the water on the floor, and I could not recognize its shape anymore.

I felt like I was losing my strength.

‘I worked so hard to take that.’

With a sullen face, I looked at the Eldora flower, which had fallen into the floor.

The reason why I came to the garden was now gone, so I tried to return to the room with a small sigh.

Then Cardin passed by me and went into the flower garden.

“Huh…?”

Cardin came to me again and brought out flowers.

At that moment a scene in the novel came to mind.

The two protagonist are facing each other in a garden full of light purple Eldoras.

Cardin conveys his heart by handing the flowers to her, and Reina accepted it happily.

“Are you giving this to me?”

“If you already got what you want, go inside and wash up right away.”

I carefully picked up the flowers.

‘Is he worried about me?’

But he didn’t look worried at all.

‘He didn’t look like that when Reina accepted his confession, did he?’

As I picked up the flowers, I turned around and asked Cardin, who was trying to get out of this place hurriedly without my knowledge.

“Do you like this flower?”

The restless Cardin looked at me.

Cardin’s gaze rested on Eldora, which was in my hands, he looked at Eldora for a long time and said in a small voice.

“I liked it.”

With Cardin’s empty gaze, I knew he wasn’t just talking about the flowers.

Soon after, Cardin came to his senses and turned around.

After a few steps, he suddenly looked towards me and said,

“Go in and wash right away.”

Cardin gazed at me and hesitated to walk.

“….heal your wound too.”

As soon as I heard Cardin, I felt the wound hurt.

After that, Cardin really left.
