It was surprising that the Duke, who had never visited me, asked me to have breakfast together.
‘Well, that’s uncomfortable. Should I pretend to have a stomach ache?’
The other day, I remembered the Duke staring at me so hard when we were having a meal.
‘No! This is an opportunity!’
The more you look at me, the more you will be attached.
‘I have to get used to the Duke, too!’
I entered the dining hall and greeted him vigorously.
I went to my seat bravely.
“Wow, that looks delicious!”
I said without seeing the food properly because of the awkwardness, but on the table there was really delicious-looking food.
“Thank you, Dad. Enjoy your meal, too!”
Hik Hik. Even though there is no reply coming back, I still won’t give up.
Ignoring me this much isn’t much to you, huh.
I grabbed a fork and ate sausages, scrambled eggs, and fresh seasonal fruits and salads.
Everything was really delicious.
Even though it is a very basic breakfast, the level is different from common plating and taste.
I thought that I was being compensated for not eating and growing up in the Marquis of Tarenka.
But the most delicious thing was the custard pudding, which was also served as dessert.
I quickly ate it, and I was licking my sundae spoon, but something was in front of me.
He gave me his custard pudding that he’d barely touched.
Oh, So— You think I like this one, so you gave it to me, right?
As if he hadn’t given the pudding to me, he was reading the newspaper over a cup of tea.
Why do you look at the newspaper now after looking awkwardly at people?
‘I thought you were ignoring me.’
I swung at the middle of the pudding with a spoon.
Looking at the soft pudding, something seemed to wave in my mind.
I don’t think it’s right to ask him to take a bite….
I don’t know if I’m really his daughter or not.
‘What? Why am I thinking about it? Whether it works or not, I’ll give it a try. As I mentioned, I need to build up this affection.’
I shouted that in my mind, but my hands didn’t budge and I just wiggled my fingers.
Gulp, I couldn’t give the Duke his pudding back and took it to my mouth.
‘….I don’t know if I’ve ever had a dad.’
“—Thank you for the meal.”
Instead of pudding, I muttered those words only.
It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten the pudding that the Duke of Paeraton gave me.
I still can’t leave the dining hall.
Because the Duke won’t get up from his seat and is staring at me.
I couldn’t help but sit still because I couldn’t get up alone.
At that time, the Duke’s elegant lips opened slowly.
Cling? What the hell do you mean?
Why are you looking at me when you seem to be talking to yourself?
As I was tilting my head, the Duke frowned and stood up.
And he hurriedly approached and lifted me up.
I was stopped from leaving by the Duke but he picked me up and headed to his office.
‘What do you want to do with me?’
Maybe that’s why we had breakfast together.
Come to think of it, the Duke was already in the mansion when I woke up.
‘Did you purposely wait for me today without going out?’
‘What the hell are you going to talk to me about?’
My mouth was dry from the nervousness.
As expected, the Duke who arrived at the office sat me on his lap and…. looked at his documents.
I moved my arms and legs.
Regardless of whether I wiggled or not, the Duke only signed the papers with a smooth stroke.
Since yesterday, you haven’t even bothered me, but you’ve been carrying me around like chewing gum stuck to you without even paying attention to me?
‘Is it because I really don’t like being unfamiliar with you or because I’ll be stuck in the future with you…..?’
No, I’ve been betrayed so many times.
There’s no other reason than that, is there?
It’s not like you’re carrying me around and harming me. (Although your expression is cold.)
You gave me pudding. (Your expression is still cold.)
For some reason, my heart became soft like a pudding drizzled with caramel syrup.
I felt a heat on my cheeks.
It was awkward for no reason, so I touched my fingertips and then curled my toes.
Uh, well, no, my plan worked.
I said I would see him often and make him feel good.
So it’s good for me, and I’d like to keep this momentum going, but…
‘No, No. I have a lot of work to do today!’
I need to search for information about the medium!
I was just thinking about what to do, but now I feel like I want to run away.
‘No. Why am I thinking about running away? I need to search for the medium!’
At that time, I heard a cool voice above me. “What’s going on?”
I looked up and saw the Duke looking down at me. He must have been worried because I wriggled thinking about this and that.
I thought for a bit, wonderin what to say.
‘Hmmm, let’s think of something!’
“I want to see some beautiful things.”
But my lips answered quickly, ‘This mouth!’.
The Duke arched one eyebrow. His eyes turned to Anna.
Anna, who was standing in the corner of the room like a signpost, took a step forward and held my hand politely.
“Today, Young Miss was going to take a look at the treasure room.”
Ugh, how can you answer like that! What if He asks me why I’m going to the room where he keeps his family treasure ?

I was just going to say no, but the “Rejection Penalty.” caught my eye.
I’ve dropped the novel a few times, but if it’s life…
‘It doesn’t mean that I’m going to lose my life. It won’t be, so yeah.’
I want to deny it, but I think that I was right.
Death if you reject and death if you fail!
I didn’t want to believe it either.
I read the words written with tears in my eyes.
-Quest acceptance benefit: Hints will be activated.
Are you giving a wound and then medicine?
(T/N: to say something hurtful to someone and then say something nice to cover it up.)
I wanted to argue, but thank you.
I didn’t know how to persuade that cold Duke, so I was desperate for a clue.
‘But the hint is activated. Is there something like an option? Or maybe it’s like a favor?’
But, I’m glad there’s a hint anyway.
‘If there’s a hint, I’d better take a look at it now!’
[You have accepted the quest.]
[As a benefit, hints are activated while the quest is in progress.]
‘All right! Give me a hint! I chose a hint!’
I’m looking at the Duke with excitement-
I had no choice but to open my mouth.
