Chapter 2: 2

Swoosh.

I could see Cardin holding a large bottle of liquor through an open door.

His face is mixed with fatigue and emptiness, though he stays expressionless.

“…….”

“…….”

Our eyes met through the crack in the door.

I decided to approach him since I made eye contact.

I could tell who he was thinking of by looking at my light purple hair.

I could see Cardin widened his eyes.

He recognizes who I am.

“Excuse me…”

“Servants!”

He took the lead before I even called him.

At his loud voice, I could hear the footsteps of a man who was nearby.

“What’s the matter? Duke.”

“Why is that in front of my eyes?”

“Ah…..”

Cardin was looking at me with emotionless eyes.

Seeing him calling me like an object, anger rose inside of me.

How could he do so? I am still his daughter, a child made by him and the woman he loves.

I couldn’t contain my anger.

“Stupid!!”

I took off one of my shoes and threw it at him. I express my anger like that.

“…….”

The shoes that left my hand flew into the air and hit Cardin in the face.

“Gasp!”

I didn’t want to see his face, so I ran away.

After the shoe hit Cardin’s face, I left the dining room as I stopped for a moment to catch my breath.

“What about my shoes….”

I should have thrown something I didn’t need. It’s too late to regret now.

“If my nanny finds out, she’ll faint in fright.”

Throwing a shoe at the duke’s face is a bold move.

However, it already happened.

‘Will there be punishment for me?’

I was reminded of Cardin’s cold gaze.

‘The harassment of the servants will also worsen.’

I sighed predicting my future misfortunes.

There was no such thing as family affection. I swallowed up the sadness that was pouring in.

It was time to get back to the room.

“Wait.”

Suddenly a voice flowed to my ears.

It was obviously Cardin’s voice. I had no choice but to turn right away.

‘What is it? Is he here to punish me already?’

I was on high alert because a grain of expectation I had for Cardin was just shattered.

‘I’ll just throw another shoe and run away.’

There was no more expectation for Cardin, so she could be bold.

Looking back with such firm determination, I saw a different scene than what I had imagined.

My small yellow shoe is in Cardin’s right hand, who had been chasing after me.

Whether it was because of Cardin’s big hands or the small shoes, it was a very bizarre combination.

“…….”

‘If he calls me, he should talk.’

Me and Cardin stood face to face in the hallway, staring into each other’s eyes for a long time.

For the first time, I could look at Cardin’s face for a long time.

Cardin’s eyes are still looking at me.

“Take it.”

Thud.

The shoes I threw at Cardin fell to the ground.

“Ah.”

Well, Cardin wouldn’t care about me…huh?

As I kept my eyes fixed on Cardin, I saw his hand flinching the moment I wore the shoes.

The hand that threw the shoe flinched.

Because I had to spend my entire life observing others’ attitudes toward me, so I have become sensitive.

I had felt a little discomfort when seeing Cardin’s attitude.

Cardin, who looked down at me for a while, turned around.

‘He’s just going like this?’

I needed to check again.

“It hurts.”

Pause.

It was not an illusion, Cardin stopped moving and hardened.

Cardin was definitely reacting to me. 

For some reason, I was a little convicted that if I approach him now, he won’t shake me off.

“It hurts…hurts.”

It was obviously a lie, but I kept muttering.

Swoosh.

I have courage to step closer to him.

Swoosh.

I took a step closer to him. Cardin is still in the same position.

Swoosh.

I took another step closer.

I could see Cardin hardened his fist.

And I did it again….

“Ah!”

I was trying to get closer but Cardin ran away with his long legs.

“He’s very fast.”

But I’ve found out a great fact that Cardin reacts to me.

During the time Cardin was absent from the mansion, I recalled memories of my previous life.

“Now I am just a child.”

When I returned to my room wearing shoes returned by Cardin, I had to listen to my nanny’s nagging. Fortunately, she didn’t seem to know anything about the incident.

“Nanny, let’s go to bed!”

The nanny, who was drying my wet hair, just smiled at my urging.

“It’s done.”

When I touched my dried hair, I felt a fluffy texture.

I had curly hair, so right after I dried my hair, I felt like a dandelion.

I need to get a good night’s sleep because I had to work diligently tomorrow.

“Good night, nanny.”

“Sweet dreams.”

I’ve been through a lot today, so I’m very tired.

Soon I feel the warmth all over my body. 

No matter how hard the day was, the end of my days were always cozy.

***

It was early in the morning. I fell asleep early the night before, so I felt nice.

“Well.”

I got off the bed and did stretching.

I will be busy every day from now on.

While stretching, I saw my reflection.

It was more appropriate to say that I was struggling rather than stretching.

“I guess nobody knows about yesterday.”

I was worried that things might get even worse than today, but it was a surprisingly peaceful morning.

The nanny was called to an employee training since this morning.

When Cardin returned, it seemed that the head maid was teaching the employees who worked in the mansion.

“Well… I have to go out.”

I thought about the conversation I had with my nanny last night. I wanted to go out, but I couldn’t because my nanny left early.

I rummaged through the drawer and pulled out a paper to draw flowers and trees.

“This should be enough, right?”

Of course, I could convey it in writing, but here, I am only a six-year-old kid.

This should be enough for them to understand that I wanted to see the garden.

“I’ll be right back, nanny.”

My nanny will come back by lunchtime. I had to come back to my room by then, so I hurried out of the room.

“Hosh, Hosh.”

The road to the garden was not so far, but with my short legs, it’s like walking a thousand miles.

I was heading to the garden inside the main building.

“I finally arrived…”

Located inside the main building, the garden was full of various flowers and trees.

Among them, the flower that occupies the most was Eldora.

Eldora’s signature light purple leaves were shining under the sunlight.

“Wow, it’s exactly the same as when I read it on the novel.”

The garden, a light purple feast, was the place where Cardin proposed to Reina.

I guess you’ve been taking good care of it since then. It was a touching scene, but I never thought I’d see it in person.

“Oh, come on, this isn’t the time!”

The reason I came here today was to imprint my presence little by little on Cardin.

Although he is a nasty father who has left his biological daughter unattended until now, seeing him yesterday made me wonder if there was something I didn’t know.

“Let me see.”

I wanted to make a bouquet of flowers by weaving some of the prettiest Eldora leaves. Just like when Cardin confessed to Reina in the garden.

“Oh my.”

But the flower stalk was harder than I thought, so it was not easy to be picked. I was just thinking about digging the ground and bringing it to the root.

“Oh, aren’t you a princess?”

“What brought you here?”

Just in time, two maids who were managing the garden found me.

I swallowed my saliva in tension. This is because the maids’ expressions were full of playfulness like a cat who found a mouse.

“To pick some flowers…”

“This must be why the garden is hard to manage. Everyone comes in to pick flowers.”

Why is it that all the people in the mansion are like this?

The maids exchanged glances and soon dropped the water spray.

Just in front of where I’m standing.

“Ah!”

I am short so I got wet almost to my waist.

“Oh my, I’m sorry. My hand slipped…”

The maid spoke out with pity, but ironically her lips were raised.

‘It’s…too much.’

I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I beckoned the maid to come closer.

“What’s wrong…Agh!”

I snatched the maid’s hair and sank to the floor.

I was not worried about getting wet. Only the word revenge was in my head now.
