The Daughter of Evil - Volume 1 - Chapter 1.28

Chapter 1: Section 2: Scene 8 
♠Germaine~Lucifenia kingdom’s “Riverside”~

Last night, I didn’t sleep a wink.

As I looked down on the mirror, I was shocked by my own reflection. If my dad saw me like this, he’ll say: “Inadequate sleep is the great enemy of the skin.”

I left home and went to the nearby riverbank. At first, I wanted to use the river to wash my face and get my mind off things a little.

But, until morning, my father didn’t go home.

Was he instructing the “Daughter of Evil” all night long? How pathetic. When he comes back, I’ll prepare him a special meal. Heck, we could even drink wine together. It’s okay to drink wine occasionally.

When I approached the river, I saw a person I haven’t seen for quite some time.

“Hey, Chartette! Long time no see!”

She’s a cheerful friend of Allen and been working in the palace as a maid long ago. I don’t know if she’s doing well though.

“Ah! B-……Big Sister…… Long time no see……”

When we were children, Allen and I, just as two, rescued her from being kidnapped by thieves. After that, she respected us a lot, and even address me as “big sister”. That’s really cute…… but her age should be older than mine.

“What bring you here? I didn’t expect to see you here.”

“Early this morning, I came out to buy things I haven’t had my whole maid life! But……”

 What happened? She seems so lackadaisical.

I took a closer look and found that a lot of people gathered around the shore.

“Hmmmm? What happened?”

As I asked that question, Chartette’s face changed.

“AH! No…… no…… nothing! Really, there’s nothing happening there. We just love making some noise.”

“If it’s really all right, then why are people gathering there? Did they find a buried treasure or something?”

“Ah~~~ No! Don’t go there!”

Not minding what Chartette said, I moved to the center of the crowd.

I saw a very familiar thing.

No, NO. Definitely not, THIS IS NOT HAPPENING. That’s not the askew suit of armor. THAT’S NOT THE LION SWORD. That’s not lying on the ground, NO, I don’t know that man, HE DIDN’T DIE, that’s not him, NO. He’s not Daddy. IMPOSSIBLE. He’s not my father, MY FATHER CAN’T BE HERE. WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. This is not happening. This isn’t happening. DAD CAN’T BE DEAD. WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. No, not Daddy. NOT FATHER. WRONG. Impossible. NO. NO. NO. He’s not Daddy. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NOT DADDY NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO……

“Sister…… Do you want me to cheer you up?…… *weep*…… *weep**cry*”

I picked up my Dad’s upper body. His face was very pale. No big deal. As long as the wine he drinks is red, Daddy gets drunk very easily on top of…… *weep* Don't…… Daddy, DON’T DIE!

“Don’t die! DADDY, DADDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

When I woke up, I was at Chartette’s home. I come here often, since my father visits the blacksmith regularly.

Chartette said that after I yelled, I fainted.

Her father offered me some soup but I declined. Food is scarce nowadays, keep this soup so you’ll have something to drink—— I told him. The father put his hand on my shoulder and quietly nodded his head; turned back to his workplace.

“The nearby residents found him this morning. His chest was stabbed…… Maybe someone……”

Chartette told me it in detail, but I didn’t listen to most of it.

Who? Who killed Daddy? No, Dad’s impossible to kill, because he’s more powerful than the prospective. Dad’s one of the “Three Heroes”, and he’s the Commander of the Guards. Dad’s isn’t possibly dead. However, it’s a fact that he was killed. Daddy was killed. But who? Who killed Daddy? Where did Dad go yesterday? He went to whom again?

That guy. Daddy went to that guy. Who’s that guy? Nothing but the Queen, the Daughter of Evil. She. She killed my father. Daughter of Evil, Riliane, is my Dad’s killer. That guy. That guy killed Daddy. SHE SHE SHE SHE SHE SHE SHE SHE SHE SHE KILLED DADDY.

But what will I do? How do I deal with her? How do I deal with my Dad’s killer? Kill her. Since she killed Daddy, I’ll kill her. Revenge. Right, I must get my revenge. To that guy. I must get revenge to the Daughter of Evil, revenge to Riliane. Revenge…… I WANT REVENGE!

Dad’s funeral was held in a cemetery on a hill. The Palace offered to give him a public funeral, but I refused.

Even so, there were many Royal people who attended the funeral day. The ones who were Dad’s subordinates cried, there were also ones who wailed angrily.

The other two of the “Three Heroes” also were on the field. Mariam saw my silence and held me in her arms. She didn’t cry, but her shoulders were shaking. Elluka, with a girl who seems to be her apprentice, also attended the funeral. I nodded my head to lightly regard a greeting. She went to the tomb and cursed “DIMWIT” then left.

Also attending the funeral, there seems to be a King from another family. Although I don’t know him, he should have been my father’s old acquaintance. This must be a secret between them. That person seems to be almost my age, a really young king. After the funeral, the blue-haired man quietly left

I vow to my father’s tomb.

Dad, it’s okay. I will certainly take my revenge, revenge for you.

No. This is not only for my father, but also for all the commoners of the country.

Even if the whole Royal Palace was my enemy, I will not back down.

If it’s in order to overthrow the Queen,

I will become evil for you.
