How to Be a Dark Hero’s Daughter

“I don’t want to live in poverty. I want to be a normal girl. When I go to the playground, other children throw stones at me. I want to be a normal girl who will be accepted by others!” I said in a strangled tone.

I’m the same, and I’m now completely different person.

I used to be a happy fool who lived carefree on the street, but remembering my previous life, now I understand my mistake.

I only walked at night or at dawn, fearing that I would be caught and put in a cage. Before I remembered my past life, I thought it was natural how other people to treat me like that.

Marianne asked me in a low voice.

“So what is the real reason for your visit?”

“Yes, I don’t know where else to ask for help…” I answered, and after a moment I added. “I’m sorry…”

Marianne whispered softly.

“Oh, child, what is this?”

“Ah…”

There was a petal on my sleeve. I was sure I had cleaned my clothes. My cheeks turned red.

I was embarrassed and pulled out the flowers that I took with me from my pocket.

“Here, this is for you all,” I said, addressing everyone.

“How sweet, thank you,” she thanked.

Collen’s face changed when he saw these flowers.

He bent down and began to speak in a low, dangerous voice.

“Where did you get these flowers?”

“Someone brought them…”

“Who?”

“Flowers were there when I woke up this morning.”

I briefly explained about the boy who sells flowers.

Initially, I planned to give them as a guest. My late mother told me not to visit without a present. Although I vaguely remember everything because it was so long ago, but… she was right.

Did he suspect that I stole the flowers?

But these red flowers are not a very good gift.

They looked shabby and faded.

Collen reacted after a few seconds. He held out his hand, and I hurriedly gave him the flowers.

The following question from Marianne was my salvation.

“What payment are you expecting?”

I looked into her charming eyes and answered.

“I think that half of the salary of an adult is enough for me.”

I will do whatever I’m told, but I can’t work as much as an adult, because I’m small. Collen was lost in thought.

“Half. Half…?”

Collen spoke up.

“Okay, but I have to check a few things before this.”

“…”

“How did you find William?” He asked.

I gave the answer that I thought about last night.

“I just thought he looked like the man on the wanted poster. It was just my guess.”

“Oh, you recognized him. You have excellent eyesight. But why, of all people, did you ask me for help?”

Collen’s question was odd.

‘Are you trying to guess me?’

That’s natural too. That’s enough to raise suspicion. I gave a prepared answer.

“It was just a coincidence.”

“Coincidence?”

“Yes, I wanted to ask someone for help, and… you were the only one standing out from the crowd, you are so handsome and tall…”

“Really?” A smile appeared on Collen’s face.

“Yes, you look like you can fight bad people. If there were guards there, I would have turned to them, not you.”

“Then, one more question…” Collen’s suspicions were reflected on his face, his narrowed eyes focused on me. Then he asked. “How did you know that I wanted to go to the station?”

“It was obvious. A rich gentleman like you wouldn’t walk across the alley. If you hadn’t hurried and listened to me, that bad man would have done more trouble.”

Collen looked at me, then said.

“You are very smart.”

Have I cleared up his suspicions? I thought to myself and looked at him nervously.

“Stay in the next room for a while.”

Collen pointed to the door instead of saying he was going to hire me.

Marianne added sweetly.

“We will have a discussion, we will soon inform you of our decision.”

‘Please, I don’t care if I’m a cleaner or a cook, or work in a stable.’

I went into the next room and stared at the interior, trying to hide my concern.

The living room and this room were furnished with good, expensive furniture. I definitely liked it.
