My Daddy Hides His Power
Chapter 19
“You can’t!”
“Hahahaha. Look at your face. Don’t worry about it. This is just a fairy tale. I don’t think I’ll lose my princess in the first place.” Being taken away—. If it had been the way it was—. “And even if you were taken away, I wouldn’t be a fool and become the bad king’s subordinate. I will just go right to the bad king and save our princess.” I don’t think so. It’s not that easy—. I hid my mixed feelings and said. “Dad. I have something to ask you.” “What is it?” “All the powerful people have to go to the battlefield when His Majesty orders them to, right?” “Huh? Oh, yeah. That’s right.” “But didn’t Daddy do that before? Can I not go?” “Yes, my princess doesn’t have to go.” “Why? I’m your daughter, so aren’t I a very powerful person? Then I have to go.” “No, you don’t have to go. Dad has a way.” “What is that?” “Anyway I have. Ooh, I’m sleepy now.” Dad avoided answering and hugged my head. I swallowed a bitter laugh inside. I could guess my Dad’s plan without having to listen to it. Dad will soon go to meet the Emperor alone. And 99.9% chance he’ll probably ask for my military exemption. The card that Dad will give to the Emperor for negotiations is obvious. From now on, he will become a dog that obeys the Emperor without saying a word. After the war, he will go out and do everything he asks—. ‘A good king has no choice but to become a subordinate of a bad king.’ Because the main character has weaknesses. That’s right, his daughter. ‘Isn’t the Emperor looking for Dad this time because of the war?’ Enoch Rubinstein went to the battlefield countless times to get his kidnapped daughter back. Then, when he learns that his daughter is dead, his blade points towards the Emperor. ‘But even if I haven’t been kidnapped by the Emperor, Dad is still not free. So he’s going to negotiate with the Emperor not to send me to war.’ The good king will eventually become a bad king’s chess horse and fight a meaningless slaughter war. My Dad, the main character, is a righteous man who hates imperial tyranny like the conquest war, but—. “You know, Dad can do anything for our princess.” Yes, he was also a man who would be willing to raise a sword for me. “If the main character is not happy, there is no happy ending, Lilith.” “Dad can never live without a princess.” I was wrong in thinking that the existence of the ‘daughter’ was merely a trigger for the progress of the original work. He lives as the Emperor’s puppet. And he decided to take revenge. In the end, the revolution was successful. All of Dad’s actions had a ‘goal’, and it was all me. Of course, the original, which I thought was a happy ending, is a sure tragedy for the main character, who eventually lost his goal. ‘M, my Dad might have died after me after the original story was over.’ Then what I have to do is—. It’s not just about helping Dad to reach a peaceful ending, as in the original story. ‘I have to survive. I should be safe with Dad, right next to me. Whatever happens.’ Even after the original story is over. For the happy ending of Enoch Rubinstein, the main character. By all means. “Dad, me too.” With a firm commitment, I dig deeper into my Dad’s arms. “I can also do anything for my dad….” * * * The highest rank, Dos. and, Quarto. Septima. Octava. Noveno. Finally, down to the lowest rank, Diez. There is an existence that encompasses those who are classified into six classes. And then, Primera. Primera’s existence is the source of magic. Almighty being closest to God. That is why only one person is born per generation. Since the founding of the Empire. It was produced only in the Imperial family Pavilion. It was the rank of ‘Emperor’. * * * “It is said that the rank of His Highness the 12th Prince was found to be Quarto.” Clank–! At the aide’s report, the Emperor broke the glass he was holding. The red blood got all over his hands and healed quickly without a trace. “Why isn’t Primera coming out?” The Emperor had 14 children so far, but there was no Primera yet. The public sentiment fluctuated in the absence of the next Primera. “Don’t tell me it won’t be born forever.” “Don’t worry, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is still young and healthy, so we can see the next Primera.” His aide comforted the angry Emperor. Nicholas von Pavilion, the beautiful-looking Emperor with light blonde hair and green eyes. He was 48 years old, but he looked young, like a young man in his twenties. It was because the lifespan of a Primera was twice that of a normal person. “Our Sir Enoch has returned.” “Yes.” “I am surprised that you returned so smoothly.” “According to reports from the Knights, her daughter wanted to stay in the capital.” “Hahahaha!” The Emperor burst out laughing. “It’s funny. She doesn’t even know how her father had taken her to run away 7 years ago….” Enoch, who eventually returned to the capital at the request of his immature daughter, was pulled back. “Well, it went well. That is what I wished for.” Seven years ago, when Enoch deserted. The Emperor was angry. His absence was a huge power loss. But there was no way to force him back. Enoch was such a powerful man—. “The time will come for those who wait patiently. If I couldn’t endure it and make Enoch obey me, I would have been dead in the grave a long time ago.” The Emperor laughed lowly. Unlike other people with power, Primera was a being that consumed their life span rather than mana. It was a powerful Primera that could brainwash and force someone to obey, but it required quite a lot of life. Especially if the subject is as strong as Enoch Rubinstein. However. “Does he know what I have been waiting for for seven years?” There was a way to hold on to Enoch’s leash without brainwashing. Enoch, who disappeared 7 years ago, was trying to protect his daughter. The Emperor knew that the daughter would soon become his weakness, and he waited quietly. Until there are only daughters left in Enoch’s world. Until his daughter becomes a whip that can wield him freely. “Sir Enoch will soon bring me a splendid return gift.” A map fills the wall of the room. The Empire almost swallowed the continent. But some countries that hadn’t been taken over yet were a problem for Nicholas, the emperor who was known as the “King of Conquest.” But soon, only the name of the Empire will remain on the continent. Because now Enoch Rubinstein is back. * * * The next morning “Oh my, oh my, oh my. You’re so pretty, Lady.” “What would you like to bring in your bag? A teddy bear bag on the back? A rabbit bag that I carry on your side? I started a busy day with my maids. “Today is a rabbit!” “Kyahaha! A rabbit that looks like Lady!” “Okay, let’s do it with a rabbit!” “What are you going to do today?” “I have to go to class in the morning…Can I have a snack after class?” “Of course, Lady. I will prepare milk and chocolate flavored macarons.” “Then, are you going to the study room right now? I will bring the supplies.” I sat on the bed and swung my short legs while Jetty and Jun packed the class supplies. ‘It’s short….’ Short. It’s too short. Not big. If I continued to grow up slowly like this, my identity would be exposed to the neighbors. ‘I have to move quickly.’ After rescuing Cheshire as planned, I should enter the training center for people with power as soon as possible. All people with power can use their abilities only after they go to the training center and receive the power of the Emperor. This is because only the Emperor can open the ‘core’ in the hearts of people with power. And I had to open the core and use my abilities for anything quickly. I can grow like others only by using my abilities and consuming my life force. ‘That way I can hide my identity….’ “By the way, did you hear that, Unnie?” “What?” My ears perked up at their voices, who were busy packing my supplies. “It’s failed again this time. The rank of His Highness the 12th Prince is Quarto.” “Oh, my. Really? I thought it would be Primera this time.” As Jun spoke, Jetty’s eyes widened. “A lot of people say that God has abandoned the imperial family. The Primera hasn’t come out yet.” “Ey, no way. It will be here soon.” The two were talking about the imperial family. I pretended not to care, stomped my feet and only hummed. “It’s weird, but it’s too weird. So far, the first and the second child have always been Primera.” “Well. There are so many princes and princesses, but there is still no Crown Prince. Is this the first time something like this has happened?” Primera, a person with absolute power who is only born once per generation. So far, it has only come out of the imperial family without a single exception. Of the children who succeeded the Emperor’s blood, only Primera could become the Crown Prince. However. ‘That punk Emperor. Give birth to a child for a hundred days. But where does the Primera come?’ From the Imperial Family, this generation of Primera will not come out. Primera, where only one person is born per generation, is already—. “Isn’t it possible that it came from another family?” —correct. “Pfft. That’s ridiculous.” “Whoo…” Cold sweat was running down my forehead.
