Raised the Villainous Daughter and Ran Away - Chapter 201



Side Story III. Family

The pleasant times soaked in happiness are fleeting, and many years have passed.

We’ve had many seasons. Elle and Anna have grown up and are old enough to enter the Academy, and a twin brother has been born.

As many as three.

I was worried that Frances might be a burden on her body, so I postponed it for a while… … .

She forced me to spend the night with her husband.

“Dad! I got praised by my teacher today! They say I have a natural talent!”

“Really? Dad knew from the beginning that Anna would become a genius of the next generation.”

The first born, Ena, resembled me in that she had a talent for swordsmanship. And she was incredibly talented at it.

I heard that his senses are fundamentally different from others and his instincts also surpass those of humans.

I heard the details from Dahlia, and it seems like the children have also received my thick transcendent blood.

Aura also had a special property called distortion. It was a property that had never been seen in the history of the continent.

Anna asked.

“What is an unparalleled genius?”

“uh…….”

I didn’t know you didn’t know this.

Anna was very active and hated sitting still in class. As a result, she was somewhat lacking in general knowledge.

Well, then what? I can just tell you.

“It means that Ena has incredible potential. It’s something that not just anyone can have.”

He smiled and stroked Ena’s head. Her long, flowing hair, shining like obsidian, swayed in the wind.

“Hehehe, then I can get praised by Mom again.”

Anna smiled bashfully, drawing a line under her eyes. She was already excited at the thought of being praised by Frances.

“Dad, are you not very good at praising people?”

“I like it when Dad compliments me too!”

When I asked her with a hint of regret, Anna immediately hugged me. I’ve been feeling this lately, but the kids are just naive, and they’re very quick-witted.

It seemed like it was an instinct he had since birth, since he had been like that since he was a newborn.

“Then shall we go see mom together?”

“is it so!”

I walked holding Ena’s hand in the duke’s training ground. I looked at my child with a happy smile.

Anna will definitely be a beauty. She has the looks to rule the social world, just like Frances, and her black hair is not ordinary black hair, which gives her an even more rare charm.

‘Your eyes sparkle just like mine.’

The golden eye, the symbol of the royal family of Barenberg.

If you search the entire continent, you will find many people with yellow eyes like mine, but none that sparkle so enchantingly.

“We’re here. Is Mom with Elle?”

As I entered the room where Frances often stayed to rest, the noise of chatter could be heard all the way to the door.

“Quick, hurry up and get in!”

After knocking three times at Enaga’s urging, the door opened and she went in. Frances was sitting with Elle on her lap, reading a spell book with her.

“Oh, you’re here?”

Frances smiled and closed her book as soon as she saw us. Elsa also looked over and smiled faintly.

‘El is really mature.’

When curiosity explodes, he acts like a child, but normally he is so mature that you would believe he is an adult.

Maybe it’s because he’s a child who thinks a lot, but he doesn’t talk much compared to Ena.

Oh, that doesn’t mean there’s no talk at all. That’s only when compared to Ena.

“France. I heard that Anna was praised today for her natural talent with the sword.”

He patted Ena’s head with a faint smile. Ena smiled brightly and ran to Frances, hugging her.

“Mom! I’m a genius!”

There was no sign of worry or concern on Ena’s face. Elle seemed a bit annoyed at having lost time with her mother.

“Sister, how old are you and you’re still like this?”

“what?”

“You should act more politely. Don’t act like a little kid all the time.”

“What are you saying? Stop acting like an old man.”

Elle furrowed her eyebrows.

“Anyway, because of you, I can’t show my face in the mansion.”

“It’s not because you’re ugly, unlike your mom and dad?”

Judging by the way they bicker, they are definitely siblings. Frances’ eyes softened.

“El, Anna? You shouldn’t fight.”

Then, he gently strokes the back of the children’s heads with his hand, and Elle and Anna immediately become quiet.

“Jin, what about Cain and Fren? Se-en will be taking classes.”

A 10-year-old boy. The name Se-en means “pure light” in ancient language. It was meant to symbolize the hope that he would grow up straight and shine.

An 8-year-old girl. Fran’s name means beautiful garden. It meant that wherever she went, it would be filled with flowers.

A 6-year-old boy. Cain means good luck in ancient language. It was literally named to wish for good luck in life.

“I’m in the playroom with the nannies right now.”

“That’s fortunate.”

Currently, our children each spend time together in separate spaces.

I had been worried about this before, but as our number of children increases and our time is limited, this policy was an inevitable choice.

That doesn’t mean I favor anyone or persecute anyone. I just try my best to give everyone as much love as possible.

“Then… El, should we go see Professor Kazar? I’m sure he’ll like it if I ask him to teach me magic today.”

Frances said with a bright smile. Elle nodded in agreement.

“great.”

“Okay. Then have a good trip.”

“yes.”

Elle left her seat. Anna sat on Frances’ lap and swung her legs.

“Our Ena, if you enter the academy, many young people will cry.”

Frances, who was stroking Ena’s head, suddenly giggled. Then I hurriedly spoke to Ena.

“Ena, remember. If any spirit tries to do something to you, you have to tell your father. Do you understand?”

Was it because it was the most serious look she had ever seen? Frances looked very disgusted.

“Are you thinking of blocking Anna’s marriage?”

“No, I don’t plan on doing that.”

I continued speaking with a bitter laugh.

“If you’re going to take our Anna, you have to be stronger than me.”

I think this is reasonable. Our Ena is the successor to the Duke’s family, so what if a mediocre person comes?

“That’s right. If you want to marry me, you have to be strong like my father.”

Anna looked at me with a bashful smile. What a peculiar thing to say. Frances shook her head, rubbing her forehead.

Suddenly, Ena raised her head.

“Oh, I just remembered something I need to do!”

“What is it?”

“I was planning to play with Sister Ladea, so she’ll be waiting!”

Perhaps because she had experience taking care of her younger sibling, Ladea was very good at dealing with children. That was also why Ena followed her around so well.

“Then have a good trip.”

“yes!”

With Anna even leaving, Frances and I were able to have some alone time together for the first time in a long time.

“Jin, I have something to tell you.”

“What is it?”

I met Frances’ gaze. Her eyes were filled with worry.

“El has incredible talent for magic, but her attributes are so special that it’s a problem.”

Her voice was filled with deep concern. It seemed to be quite serious.

“What kind of attribute is it?”

“Annihilation like you.”

“… … .”

For a moment, my heart sank.

With the overwhelming power of destruction comes responsibility commensurate with its size. I have heard myself called the ‘Greatest Sword on the Continent’, the Monster of Barenberg, and the Weapon of War.

I was very worried that everyone would buy Elle as a being to be feared.

“…There is a teacher named Khazar.”

“You don’t have to worry too much, right…?”

“Okay. We’re here too.”

I chuckled and pulled Frances’ shoulder. She buried her face in my neck and took a deep breath.

“I hope you all grow up well… … .”

Frances’ worries that she had not been able to shake off since before.

I was filled with worry that even the smallest thing might hurt my child’s feelings or that he might grow up poorly.

“You’re raising them well. The children look happy too.”

El and Ena. And Se-en, Fren, and Cain.

The five children will grow up safely and without any problems. Because we are doing our best.

Frances, in my arms, groaned and dug deeper.

“I hope you think that it was good to be born into this world.”

I smiled faintly and stroked the back of France’s hair. The scent of roses flowing from her red hair lingered in my head.

“Everyone will think so. Didn’t you see Elle and Anna earlier? They seem to be having a good time.”

All five children are doing well. I can guarantee that. Frances and I are both quick to read people’s minds.

“Then that’s good.”

Only then did Frances smile brightly. Then she kissed his cheek.

“Should I make a new baby today?”

“no.”

“…why?”

Frances looked up at me, her shoulders slumped. She knew I was weak in this kind of thing and was targeting me.

“… That doesn’t work anymore.”

“Tch.”

That’s what I was aiming for. I’ve fallen for that so many times.

That’s how Fren and Cain were born.

‘Originally, three was enough.’

I had a lot of worries about raising children, so I originally thought of having only three, but I couldn’t help it because of France’s greed.

But I don’t have any pessimistic thoughts like regret. That would be terrible for the children and for France.

“There are a lot of problems. You know that, Frances, right? We still can’t take care of all the children.”

When I said that, Frances pursed her lips and nodded. Fortunately, she seemed to understand.

From noble mtl dot com

I smiled and stroked Frances’ cheek.

“When the kids are all grown up and independent and we retire, let’s go on a trip together. We could travel the entire continent, or we could take a ship to the New World.”

For a moment, Frances’ eyes lit up.

“New World…?”

“Yeah. New World.”

“… Is there such a place?”

Oh, you didn’t tell me this.

“Ahem, anyway. Let’s go on a trip.”

“… Huh.”

Frances glares at me with her eyes wide open. It’s not like there’s anything to hide or anything important…

“Well, that’s fine. I guess I’ll have to pass that great information on to the kids for later.”

Fortunately, it passed.

There’s no need to worry about someone else discovering it first, because the conditions for getting to the New World aren’t just about getting on a ship.

“So, how about the trip?”

“Of course I should go.”

Frances smiled bashfully. The corners of her lips twitched in a flawless smile.

That time when we were having a cozy time.

Suddenly, the door opened wide and a bunch of children came rushing in.

“mom!”

Naturally, the children looked for Frances first. She became sullen because no one mentioned her father.

“What’s going on, everyone?”

“Let’s all just go see Mom!”

Starting with El and Ena, and continuing on to Se-en, Fren, and Cain. Judging from their expressions, it was clear that they had gathered together and made a plan.

“I’m sorry. I think the gentlemen and the ladies must see this… … .”

Helena bowed her head in defeat. There was no need to do that.

“It’s okay. I’m just watching the kids.”

I just shrugged. Frances didn’t seem to care much either.

“Then, since we’re all gathered here for the first time in a while, should we go out for a walk?”

When Frances said this with a smile, the children shouted, “Yes.” I answered them at the same time, thinking that they might be our children.

“Dad, hurry up!”

“Mom, wait!”

The children all grabbed my arm. Frances was looking at us with a kind smile.

“Okay, let’s go out. The weather is nice.”

I just smiled and walked out of the mansion with my family.

Spring, when pollen flutters. The time is noon.

It was a nice day for an outing, with the sun shining warmly and a cool breeze blowing.
