How to Be a Dark Hero’s Daughter

However, the demons couldn’t approach, as if they hit a cloudy barrier.

‘Is it a defense barrier?’

I clicked my tongue.

“You’re pulling all kinds of tricks. Even if it’s a barrier that will eventually collapse.”

“This castle is armed with the last legacy of the white wizards.”

Siebel spoke, sweating coldly.

Then,

Whizz!

An arrow whizzed past my ear.

It was a crossbow. For a moment, the barrel swayed. Siebel rolled away from under my feet.

“Hello, Nigel?”

I aimed the gun at Nigel.

“Leticia, hey. Are you crazy?”

Nigel shouted in shock.

“How dare you betray us?”

What did he say?

“Betray? Isn’t that a bit self-centered? It’s cliché even for a third-rate novel to have friendship and love sprout in a kidnapping situation.”

“What?”

“Criminals have such a selfish way of thinking.”

Bang!

I shot Nigel. His body flew several meters away.

Thud!

“Ugh!”

Nigel screamed as she slammed into the castle wall.

“You…! You called me a friend… Did you play with me? I was sincere.”

From the ground, Nigel glared at me eerily. To talk about friendship after killing like eating a meal…

‘A habitual offender who kidnaps and secretly kills people under the guise of punishing the rich and steals their wealth. Was he rescued by Siebel just as he was about to be arrested? He’s more of a beast than a human.’

Ah, Nigel had proudly told me about all her criminal records.

“You said you were a serial killer, right?”

I said with a smirk.

“Sorry, but I was well-educated. I was taught not to trust friends easily.”

I waved sweetly with one hand, like saying goodbye. A bit cheeky, right?

“That’s why you shouldn’t have trusted easily either. But you’re so dumb.”

Siebel didn’t even blink when he saw Nigel down.

“Just one question.”

Siebel spoke, struggling to get up.

“Is their invasion today a coincidence?”

Screams began to be heard. It seems like Collen, Collen’s subordinates, and the inquisitors are swarming into the castle.

I shook my head.

“You’re quick-witted. Did you think it was a coincidence that I volunteered to help with the body trade?”

Siebel’s expression changed, as if he bit something.

“You sent messages outside through the bodies sold here.”

I shrugged.

I was worried that the people around me would worry about me.

Then one day, a request letter arrived for Doctor Siebel.

[On the next full moon night, I want to kill someone. I have a strange thrill of wanting to kill when the moon rises…

Just like the werewolf in legends.

So far, I’ve only killed animals, but this time I really want to kill a person.

Please find a few suitable people.

I’ve already bought a mansion. It’s a mansion with beautiful daisies. It has a very large garden suitable for burying people.]

This strange letter was the most thrilling love letter I’ve ever received.

Mansion. Moon, daisies.

That night, Cedric and I had a date there. Only two people in the world knew about it, Cedric and me.

Cedric posed as the client and sent me the letter. I also replied with some coded messages.

I don’t know how the letter was delivered. I guess Cedric only figured out how to send the letter to the Doctor without finding out where I was.

‘I wonder how much effort Cedric took to find Doctor Siebel’s never-before-seen request window.’

My family and Cedric must be working hard to find me. That’s what I thought.

Then, I sent messages using the corpses after I got involved in the corpse trade.

‘One day, a body was suddenly delivered and the inquisitors were probably surprised, right?’

I’m sorry for that.

But Cedric ordered the body as I wrote in the coded reply.

Both the request letter and the corpse trade message exchange were used carefully only once. Any more than that, and the Doctor might discover.

As a result, based on the hints I provided, Collen and his team invaded this castle.

“I could have told them to come earlier, but I wasn’t in a hurry. I wanted to uncover all the secrets of this castle. Well, I didn’t fully pinpoint the castle’s location, so I thought the discovery might be a bit late, but they came right on time?”

“You completely played with me.”

“Yes, just like the Doctor played with my mind. You know, wicked people like you usually tremble at what’s done to them, even though they do much worse.”

The truth is always hot to everyone.

It burns, right?

“I admit, I’ve been completely defeated.”

Siebel laughed mischievously. Should I hit him again?

“But Nigel disappeared. Oh, didn’t I tell you? She’s not of ordinary constitution.”

I frowned. True to her words, Nigel disappeared like a rat.

Then-

Boom.

“Huh?”

It wasn’t because of the demon. The castle itself was shaking.

“Damn, Nigel.”

I clicked my tongue.

“You blew up the castle.”

“I told you, this place is the last property of the white wizards, and…”

“…”

“I don’t know how you escaped from the hypnosis, but there is no hypnosis you can completely escape from.”

Huh?

For a moment, my body couldn’t move as if it had turned stiff. It seems my body is still under this person’s influence. At least a little…
