Level 99 Villainous Daughter

Although I didnt do anything special, I was able to avoid starting a war between the Kingdom of Balshine and Remrest. This was a relief because I really didnt want us to get caught up in a war for the neighboring countrys throne succession.

Now that weve done our job, lets go home I thought I wasnt ready to meet his parents. I also heard that the second princes faction is popping up in our country as well, but that doesnt matter now.

We came here to say hello to Count Ashbaton, or in other words, Patricks father, who might become my father-in-law. I shouldnt show any disrespect or lack of common sense. So far Ive only dived from the sky with Ryuu, so I guess Im still safe.

When Linus was gone and the three of us were alone in the tent, I cleared my throat, pinched the ends of my skirt and bowed. Im confident in my good posture because my physical ability is unnecessarily high.

Greetings once again. My name is Yumiela Dolknes and Im the current Count Dolknes.

Patricks gaze is painful. Its an expression when you look at a child who did something reckless, knowing that it will be a valuable experience. After freezing for a moment, the Count turned his troubled face to Patrick.

Uh, what is this?

Its just a greeting. Yumiela is still trying to go the normal daughter route.

Come on, Patrick, dont give away my plan. Its been perfect so far. From any perspective, I was a perfect lady. Falling from the sky is also very girly and nicekind of.

Ahh, I see it now. I finally understood what Patrick was saying. Shes a good girl Welcome to the Ashbaton territory, Miss Yumiela or should I call you Count Dolknes?

Yosh! The mission seems to have succeeded. My father-in-law smiled softly at me. Patrick doesnt smile like that often, so its a refreshing change of pace. I wonder if he will be like this when he gets older.

You can call me Yumiela, I wont mind.

Is it okay calling you like that so normally?

What do you mean by that? I dont understand.

Yumiela, stop, Im getting chills. Youre not gonna deceive Father anymore.

Apparently, the mission was a failure. But calling it deceiving sounds bad. I want you to make up for it. Still, its bad for my image.

It was a little awkward to think that my cover was blown from the beginning. As I swept my eyes, the Count started speaking first.

Patrick, please prepare to pull back. Im going to transfer the armys command to you temporarily.

With an immediate reply, Patrick walked out of the tent. Hold on, dont leave so suddenly, the awkwardness just multiplied with just the two of us inside the tent.

But apparently Im the only one who thinks so and the Count gave me another soft smile. When he was on the battlefield, he seemed to be a fearless commander, but now he looks like a gentle father.

Miss Yumiela is it all right? You have always been taking care of my son.

N-no! Patrick-san has been taking care of me than I have been to him.

Then, with my waist bent at a right angle, I replied. Patrick had sent a letter to his parents house explaining how I was doing. Whether Patrick was dying or injured, the Count will know. Theres no way out of this but to ask for forgiveness.

You dont have to be so stiff. But I apologize for making you travel all here, Ill be staying here for a while. Theres still a chance Remrest could still send reinforcements.

Do you still want to destroy them?

Stop it, when Miss Yumiela is the one who says it, it doesnt sound like a joke.

The Counts facial expression and atmosphere as he stopped me were just like Patricks. I think Ive had a similar exchange with Patrick before multiple times.

Did they ever come to attack you?

Skirmishes are common. But never on this scale for over a decade Im glad that Miss Yumiela is here and help us.

So it was then years ago? It was surprising that Patricks hometown was in such a danger.

I heard the Count would be stationed on the front line for a while. Was it good or bad timing that we were here?

Should I come back later? Um, etto I came to talk about something.

Oh, are you talking about the engagement?

Ah, yes.

The engagement or marriage agreement still hasnt happened yet. I do not doubt that Patrick and I are lovers. Wait. Can someone please tell me the definition of a lover?

Since you are already living together, its a good time to talk about it.

No, its not like that, Patrick just followed me on his own.

And then it hit me, to my horror, Patrick and I were living together.

From my research, many couples break up after living together. Because when you live together, you can see what kind of bad habits your partner has.

Well, its not that we live in a one-bedroom together, so Im sure Im not revealing much of my living habits I guess.

I didnt use the wind pressure from running to dry my hair and I didnt alternate between the main course and dessert even though theyre going in my stomach anyway ever since Patrick arrived.

Uh, my head is about to explode. In addition, my face is burning with shame. Yumiela is about to blow up into an explosive flame of shame. Its all because of the bombshell statement that Patricks father said in front of me.

He said, full of concern.

Its all right, I know that Patrick was intruding on your hospitality. I approve the engagement, youre more than welcome.

Thats right EHH?!

Should it be that easy to decide? I thought it was something that was going to be put on hold, so I checked to make sure.

Is that okay? It was a rather quick decision.

Ive been hearing about this from Patrick for a while now.

Patrick is making too much progress behind the scenes. Is he going to remove every obstacle in his way? He wouldnt run away from it in the future, would he?.

Thus, I became Patricks official fiancee. Its felt too easy and I dont really feel anything.

I cant entertain you right now but both of you should take your time before going back.

Hai, thank you.

Feeling relieved, the Count says something scary to me.

Just be careful with my wife.

Patricks mother is she dangerous?
