How to Be a Dark Hero’s Daughter

Who is this beautiful woman?

‘Huh?’

Why did I naturally assume she’s a beautiful woman?

‘Is it jealousy?’

Is it because it seemed that Doctor Siebel liked her? Strange.

‘What happened to Marianne?’

Suddenly, my heart ached.

It feels weird.

“Who is Marianne?”

I looked at Siebel blankly, gripping the chair. Siebel clicked his tongue.

“She’s one of the people from my enemy, the Duke’s family.”

“Is she… alive?”

“For now. I agreed to keep her alive if someone would follow my orders.”

I felt nauseous.

Siebel quietly looked at me as I swayed. He lifted my chin.

“Leticia, you must remember. The Duke’s people are my enemies. And Leticia promised to help me with my revenge.”

“That’s right… I will help the Doctor with anything.”

I nodded.

“And you said the Duke is a murderer?”

During lessons, Siebel often showed me information about the Duke.

Collen de Lewellton. The young, handsome Duke was said to be a serial killer. The evidence for his crimes was overwhelming.

“Yes, Leticia, kill the Duke with your own hands. That will be my greatest revenge.”

“Do you know where he is so I can kill him?”

“He’ll come here someday, no matter how many years it takes.”

“Why?”

“The Duke has something to find here. He desperately needs it.”

Is he coming to kill Siebel? I recall the promise I made with Siebel.

“It’s good not to feel guilty since he’s a bad person. I’ll kill him.”

Siebel smiled.

“This is a gift for such a Leticia.”

Siebel brought out a box and opened it before me.

“Wow, a new magic gun?”

I exclaimed.

It was a long rifle. A sleek, silver body. It was twice as long as my forearm.

“It looks like the magic gun I used to use.”

“It’s a pair with that gun. You’ll be able to shoot further.”

“It’s beautiful, thank you!”

I jumped into Siebel’s embrace. He patted my head. I liked being treated like a child by Siebel.

‘The magic bullet gun I originally used was good, too.’

I remember practicing shooting in the forest for a long time when I was young.

But a forest? When did I ever go to a forest? Surely… there was a small forest attached to the mansion.

“Doctor Siebel.”

I stopped.

“Have I ever met this woman Marianne?”

Why does it bother me? Am I really jealous? No, it’s a sadder feeling.

It’s like I’m worried about her, this Marianne.

‘Something is on the tip of my memory…’

Then, I looked up and locked eyes with Siebel’s icy blue eyes.

“There are still incomplete parts?”

“Huh?”

My voice trembled. And slowly, Siebel approached me.

“You had two episodes in two days.”

“What are…?”

“Hmm, your mental strength is indeed strong. Even though I’ve put so much effort into it.”

I looked at Siebel, gasping.

“I should rearrange your mind once more.”

“What do you mean, Doctor?”

“It’s this woman.”

Siebel showed me a small locket pendant with the portrait of a beautiful woman.

Red eyes, black hair. An elegant and alluring profile. It’s a high-quality pendant that seems like something a lady would give to her lover.

‘Who does she resemble… this woman? Black hair and red eyes. Who?’

Ah, Collen and Jade. Right, of course. They are family.

‘How do I… know that?’

My head buzzed.
