“I want to live, Father.”
One day, a sudden memory flashes through my mind.
I realize I am the lost daughter of the Emperor.
Though I held an exceedingly noble status, to the Emperor, his daughter was nothing more than a tool to make himself shine. In the end, he uses my power to bring down the empire—even if it costs my life.
So I decide to become the daughter of the man who once killed that terrible father of mine.
To take rightful revenge on my father.
“Saintess, I want to be adopted! I’ve already picked out the adoption list!”
The person I choose is Duke Annekroksha.
A man who lives as the Emperor and the Temple’s dog in order to save his dying wife.
“I know we can’t exactly become a close father and daughter!
But shouldn’t we at least look like a somewhat affectionate family on the outside?”
I want to be loved like that. I want to live like that—as myself.
“So, Father, call me gently. Pat my head.
If you do that, I’ll show you how special I am!”
“…How boldly you speak. I don’t dislike it.”
