How to Be a Dark Hero’s Daughter

“I want my younger sister, whose hobby is dating, to know what a headache it is for me. Please refrain from using the dressing room as a tryst.”

“What do you want to say? Every noble woman in the capital dresses here. More than that, are you saying that I, a woman, shouldn’t date?”

“You’re a saintess. You’re a special temple’s worker, it’s troublesome.”

Collen was so right that I wanted to agree.

Once a saint… If so, is it a job like a nun? Marianne changed her tone and attacked the other.

“My brother goes out with a girl like Lady Rose. Do you know how much he’s been talking about dating my brother? It would be fun if she became the Duchess. There would be a lot of uproar.”

“I don’t know if it’s true that we dated, but we broke up.”

“…What? When?”

“Just now. I kicked her out.”

When Collen finished, he and me exchanged glances at the same time. I could hardly contain my laughter. I felt like I had a secret.

“Have you bought everything you need?”

“Do you see this?”

Marianne pointed to the entrance. At the entrance was a mountain of boxes in gift wrappers.

“Oh, clothes…!”

Now was the chance to stop Marianne.

“I’m very glad that Marianne took me to the city today… But such prices …”

Collen and Marianne’s eyes focused on me.

If Marianne really spent 100 gold coins on my clothes, I would faint from shock.

“How much did you spend?”

” I set a budget of 100 gold coins and asked for all the jewels and silk?”

“You have done a great stupidity!” said Collen disapprovingly.

Right? Phew, you did well that said it.

She avoided the risk of being kicked out of the gate right away, saying that to the duke was rude.

It would be great for me that I don’t need to say it.

“You should have taken 200 gold coins at once. We need to order the dresses for the next season now, and so they have to prepare the best silk. Or otherwise, what would the people say if Duke’s child wore some kind of rag?”

“Aha! That’s right. It’s my brother!”

…Yes?

I doubted my ears. Marianne said cheerfully.

“That’ll do!”

What was that now?

“Oh, I just need Marianne’s childhood dress, and there are five of them at home!”

“Do you want to fill your wardrobe with five old dresses?”

Marianne shook her head.

“You don’t have a ball dress yet, do you?”

“But this… This is too expensive…”

“Don’t worry. You won’t owe anyone anything. This is the duty of your guardian,” said Collen.

I’ve never heard of such an obligation. It was really difficult.

“How many dresses did you buy?”

“Twenty.”

“Okay, then tell them to bring more.”

I said hastily.

“I-I’m a bit tired. I’m sorry, but I think my eyes will close…!”

I was really tired. Shopping was a huge waste of energy. And luckily, that excuse worked.

“Yes? Then there is nothing I can do about it. Take all of her clothes.”

Collen told the workers. The staff politely replied:

“We will prepare everything.”

Then, with the help of the staff, I changed back into the brown dress I was wearing at the beginning.

When I left the locker room, Collen was sitting on the couch, waiting for me.

“Let’s go,” Collen gestured.

“Collen, and what about me?”

Marianne, who had been trying on her dress belatedly, raised her head..

“Go back to the temple and pray. Sometimes it is useful to portray a vigorous activity.”

“…Sheesh. Okay. Honey, do you want to play with your aunt again another day?”

Marianne laughed and waved her hand at me.

“No. You are not able to keep track of the child. She isn’t a doll. I know what you want to do with her, but you’re not allowed to take her without my permission.”

Collen was hard on this because he saw me wandering the street alone.

Marianne smiled, pretending not to understand.

“Don’t pay attention to what my brother says. Next time, be sure to call me Marianne!”

I smiled and waved, then pretended to have a headache again when my eyes met Collen’s.

The moment I got on the carriage, the thought of the balloon made me depressed again.

‘What do I say to Jade?’

I was really happy to receive this balloon.

Will he think I lied to him when he finds out? We’ve gotten a little closer now…

“Ah…”

It was then. A woman staggered towards us. Collen quickly hid me behind his back.

“Help me…!”

The woman reached out to us. She had red hair.

‘…That person has a strange face.’

And the next moment, the pale-faced woman collapsed on the ground.
