How to Be a Dark Hero’s Daughter

‘Why doesn’t Nigel do it herself? All she has to do is put the blood in the water.’

“Hah, feeling high and mighty? This is my revenge…”

Leticia grinned.

Slap!

Nigel’s cheek was struck.

“You still have a lot to learn.”

“Khugh!”

“That’s why this is a punishment.”

Leticia said calmly.

A shiver ran down Nigel’s spine. This girl’s tone and expression were just like Siebel’s. No, even more so.

Bang!

A magic bullet from the gun pierced Nigel’s chest.

“Oh, right. You have a special constitution.”

Bang, bang!

With enough force to knock her unconscious, Leticia shot her several times.

“You won’t die.”

“…”

“Don’t ask me to spare you.”

Bang!

“Ugh…”

In the end, Nigel passed out, drooling and convulsing.

The sound of flowing river water was soft. But… the voices of children were unmistakably heard.

“Can we open it here?”

“Let’s do it.”

I saw children crouching upstream of the river, holding a trunk.

“Hey!”

But the kids didn’t hear me. They held up a toy they took out from the trunk.

It was a model ship toy. A detailed toy that looked like a real ship shrunk down. The kids were launching it into the river.

‘The vampire’s blood is inside that ship.’

And the vampire’s blood is a potent poison. What will happen to the children directly exposed to that poison?

“Huh? Something’s leaking from this.”

“Is it broken?”

“Kids, don’t touch it!”

I shouted.

But the kids, maybe thinking I was there to scold them, hurriedly put the ship in the water.

“No!”

The ship floated away slowly.

Upstream, due to the purification facility, the water circulated.

Heading towards the purification facility… over ten model ships began to flow towards the massive waterwheel.

“Cough! Ugh.”

“My throat… I can’t breathe…”

The children collapsing looked like it was in slow motion.

‘Don’t get close.’

The color of the water started to change instantly. Blood was starting to disperse from inside the ship.

“Gulp, cough…”

“Please save us…”

I knew I shouldn’t approach.

If I make a mistake, I could also get poisoned.

But my feet had already taken me right in front of the children.

“Kids, snap out of it!”

The child in my arms, with a pale face, mumbled, “Mom, mom.”

‘Saliva dripping from their mouth and unable to breathe. Typical poisoning symptoms.’

Just being nearby caused all this…

“No…”

The water started to turn a purplish hue. How potent and unbelievable is this poison!

‘Oh…’

I mustn’t lose consciousness.

But, perhaps because of the malevolent aura from the poison, my head started to spin.

‘Save… me.’

I slowly closed my eyes.

“Leticia!”

I felt strong arms embrace me. I managed to open my eyes.

It was Cedric.

‘Cedric… Get away from here.’

I couldn’t finish my sentence and closed my eyes again.
