1. The little Demon King is too bothered by the brave dads
âKid, come here.â
The voice calling me was as sweet as honey.
As soon as I perked up my ears, the handsome man with black hair who had put me on his lap opened his eyes fiercely.
âNo, itâs not time yet.â
Siegfried von Orlean.
He was the head of the Orlean family, the only duke of the Empire, a Sword Master, and my first father.
He was also a hero who cut off the Demon Kingâs head himself.
âDidnât Tati decide to sit 10 minutes on my lap?â
âThatâs the heart of a child. What right do you have to stop a kid from coming to me?â
In response to my first fatherâs stern protest, a handsome man who was as bright as a rose in full bloom crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes.
Kirios Erhard.
He was a master of magic, the Archmage of the Empire, and my second father.
It was said that the numerous magic spells that Kirios demonstrated became a great force for the warriors and allowed them to enter the Demon Kingâs Castle.
Kirios bent down and looked at me with eager eyes.
âListen, kid. Siegfried can see you every day, but this dad here can only see you once in a while, right?â
âUmmâŠ.â
âSo, this dad wants to spend a little more time with his kid at times like this, canât I?â
I rolled my eyes.
âWell, I guess thatâs trueâŠ.?â
At the moment when I looked at my first fatherâs eyes, trying to get up secretly, the chest behind me rumbled deeply.
âKirios, why donât you stop that cheap trick of trying to lure Tati?â
âWhy should I? Just be grateful for holding the little girl and that I donât pull her away from you right away.â
Um, it felt like there was some electricity between the two dads.
Was it my delusion?
I swallowed dry saliva.
At the same time, my second dad looked back at me.
He smiled with his eyes, as if he didnât have even a hint of fighting intent.
âOr does my little girl want to go to the tower with me? Just trust this dad, Iâll make you the princess of the tower!â
âReally, why are you all so childish?â
Just in time, my third father, Cesar, shook his head and intervened in the conversation.
âHow can fathers argue in front of their children?â
âNo, that was because Siegfried is trying to monopolize the kidâŠ!â
âIsnât the problem that Kirios didnât keep his promise in the first place?â
The two fathers raised their voices side by side.
At the same time, the third father added words without blinking an eye.
âOf course, our Miss Tati is the cutest, most lovely, smartest, and sweetest daughter in the world, so I can understand why you are being so childish.â
ââŠâŠ.. .â
ââŠâŠ.. .â
Not only me, but also my two dads who had been arguing for a long time got sullen faces.
Then the third father faced the two with a brazen face.
âWhy, why are you looking like that? Did I say something wrong? For your information, time is up. Iâm next.â
Cesar.
He was a high priest who was favored by the God of Light and my third father.
If it hadnât been for Cesarâs divine power when he confronted the Demon King, the others would not have been able to come back so well.
So, to summarize the current situation, those three men, who were fiercely debating whose lap I will sit on, were the three warriors who saved the human world by subjugating the five demon kings.
âŠâŠ. They were also my fathers.
I couldnât wait to open my mouth.
âDads, donât fight.â
Before I knew it, the three fathers, who were absorbed in their discussion, looked back in amazement.
I dropped my shoulders.
âThe people that Tati likes the most are her dads, and I donât like it when they fight.â
âIâm sorry!â
âThis dad was wrong!â
âMiss Tati, donât be upset!â
My fathers raised their voices simultaneously.
With an apology and consolation all at once, I giggled internally so that my fathers couldnât see it.
âAll right, itâs perfect today.â
In fact, I had a huge secret that my fathers didnât know.
It was the fact that I was the final boss of this world and the real Demon King.
Well, for now I was stuck as a kid, weak enough to die with just one hit, butâŠ
So, my survival strategy was to grow up safely until I became an adult, under the mighty warriors of this world!
I smiled as beautifully as I could at my three dads.
âI wonât go crazy, and when I grow up, and Iâll leave you all quietly, soâŠ.â
My dads just needed to keep me safe until I became an adult. Deal?
