How to Be a Dark Hero’s Daughter

I understood. I nodded.

Siebel, who had been staring at me, lazily spoke.

“You probably don’t know how grateful I am to Collen.”

“Grateful?”

“Yes. Even after losing his mother, he gave me something new and precious. Perhaps a being more cherished than my natural mother.”

Who is that? I looked at Siebel in surprise.

“I’m grateful for giving me the opportunity to hurt, avenge, and kill that person.”

“So?”

“Thank you for helping me, Leticia.”

Siebel looked at me. Slowly, he kissed the back of my hand.

“It contains a sign of affection, my student, the only being I cherish.”

“…”

“Leticia.”

Siebel’s eyes were surprisingly submissive. I smiled happily.

“For you, I can take revenge. And I promise to surpass you. You wish for that, right?”

Siebel lifted the corner of his mouth.

“You also have a weak side, Doctor. I’ve learned.”

The wind blew chillingly.

“Do you know, Leticia?”

“Yes?”

“You seem very natural now.”

“Of course.”

I tilted my head.

“Even if someone becomes a different person overnight, that’s just a hidden side of them.”

“Yes, I suppose so.”

“So, I don’t know what you, who I’ve created, will become. You’re more perfect than I anticipated.”

I smiled. It’s so obvious.

“Doctor”

I whispered to Siebel.

“Rely on me. All your weaknesses.”

So I can include your weaknesses… and surpass you. Suddenly, my desire began to swell.

And then one day, the awaited time came. I was leisurely drinking tea.

Thump. Thump. The teacup and table shook. I quickly stood up.

Today is the day! I could feel it. Finally, the Duke was invading this place.

“Aaah!”

There was a hidden post by the lake. Horrifying screams of the guards posted there echoed.

Thud, thud, thud.

The sound of horse hooves came through the fog.

“Leticia.”

“Yes.”

I took up my ever-ready new magic bullet gun, a rifle, and went to the top of the castle.

“Hmm, that guy’s the Duke. The Duke and his son look the same.”

“Let’s deal with the Duke first.”

I smiled and nodded. I spun the rifle once and slung it over my back, then began climbing the ladder to the highest point of the castle, excluding the turret.

“Leticia?”

“I can’t see well from here. I want to observe the Duke’s face when he dies.”

“Ah, okay. Show them your whole body.”

Siebel already had a happy expression. Hmm. Let’s see, familiar faces.

“Leticia!”

The Duke shouted as he saw me. Mounted on a black horse, he looked at me regretfully. I aimed my gun precisely at him.

Whoosh, the wind blew.

My legs, clad in a thin red velvet dress, were exposed. I winked.

“Do it, Leticia.”

Siebel whispered. I decided to follow his command.

Click.

I placed my finger on the trigger and aimed my gun at the forehead of the target I had been eagerly waiting for.

“Leticia?”

“Do you know, Doctor?”

I smiled slyly.

“When you look down, the accuracy rate increases.”

“What are you doing? Your target is the Duke.”

Bang.

I fired the magic bullet gun. Precisely at Siebel’s forehead.

“Ugh!”

Siebel rolled over.

Oh, I missed. I clicked my tongue. I’ll hit him next time.

“Leticia!”

Only raising his upper body, Siebel shouted in rage. Well, he doesn’t seem to understand the situation.

“Doctor, thank you for everything. I’ve learned so much.”

“…!”

“By the way, pretending all this time was really exhausting.”

Bang.

This time, I precisely fired the magic bullet towards Siebel’s heart. I grinned.

“That’s why you should’ve known. Emotions are poison.”

“…”

“That’s why you didn’t notice until now. That I…”

Siebel’s body was convulsing.

Taptap.

I walked over to him. One more shot to the head should ensure he’s down for good.

“In my right mind.”

Bang-

I decided to make a confirmation shot.

This moment had been… so long-awaited.
