How to Be a Dark Hero’s Daughter

* * *

So, the story began when I realized that the dream I had every night was strange.

“What if Baal is sending me a message?”

Well, Baal is a demon, right? If he wants, anything’s possible.

‘Wouldn’t it be easy for him to send me a message through a dream?’

What if Baal ‘read’ something? That’s what I pondered.

Was I losing my mind and couldn’t escape from Siebel? Or was Baal really…?

‘Either way, it’s a crazy inference.’

I can’t go around saying that I communicated with a demon, right?

‘But I have someone to ask.’

My aunt is a current saintess named Marian. And who’s behind her?

‘The Goddess of Spring, Whiana.’

The new year was approaching. The New Year is when Marianne makes prophecies in the name of the goddess. I rushed to the temple.

Of course, I wouldn’t have been allowed to make the trip if it weren’t for the excuse to see Marianne. But maybe Collen reluctantly let me go because I had once traveled when I was young.

Or maybe it was awkward between us because we had a quarrel over food.

The priests looked at me in disbelief.

I scratched my cheek in embarrassment.

I smiled brightly, so pure that no one could say anything mean.

<…>

Thinking back, if I wasn’t the daughter of a Duke, I would’ve been kicked out right there.

‘But it was Whiana who told me to come find her through Marianne.’

After much difficulty, I was able to meet Marianne without a reservation. Or more accurately, Goddess Whiana.

Upon seeing me, Whiana sighed.

<…>

Wow. I really thought I was going to die of nervousness then.

This world is amazing. By that point, my stomach was churning.

“Saving Collen.”

That was Baal’s message.

Back to the present.

I’m standing in Collen’s bedroom.

‘Yes, Baal told me to do as I saw in my dream.’

It was the future where I trespassed into Collen’s bedroom and shot him.

‘I finally did it.’

I thought about it a lot. What if I’m crazy? What if I confused another dream?

But after thinking dozens of times, there was only one answer.

‘Baal told me to shoot Collen.’

Huu. I was watching Collen while catching my breath. But something was wrong.

‘Collen… isn’t breathing.’

My heart dropped.

“Baal! Please do something!”

But the giant black snake floating in the air, Baal, just stared at me.
