He said that hoping that the person would hear it wherever he was.

‘But if I hadn’t been locked up, there wouldn’t have been any reason for this to happen.’

That’s why he felt sorry.

Baikal wanted to protect her as much as possible even though they had only met after a long time.

‘The little kid chose me, so what can I do?’

To protect her by all means was his only choice.

“She said the dragon taught her how to use the needles.”

Baikal slowly murmured to Sollip, who rushed the paperwork.

“What she said seems to be a lie within that spontaneous moment, but… There is no other way to explain how that child has that knowledge other than the dragon teachingher.”

It’s just a child’s lie.

He didn’t believe her.

But if she didn’t really have the dragon’s protection and support, and if the dragon didn’t teach that child in the dream… How did she know those things?

She was also known as an idiot before, so she shouldn’t have known such a thing so suddenly.

Since she had never been properly educated, it was only natural that she did not know how to speak, read, or even eat with etiquette.

But Cherise knew everything as if she had learned it.

If that’s the case, it meant that someone might have taught her secretly.

Of course, Baikal didn’t want to dig into it too much as Cherise would feel uncomfortable.

It’s a father’s job to trust his children.

And Baikal was determined to use that lie to protect Cherise.

“Spread the rumors about the princess who was protected by a dragon. She has never been an idiot, but rather, the dragon was specifically teaching her in her dreams.”

“After that, Your Majesty will adopt the princess, right?”

“Yes.”

As soon as Sollip received the order, he pulled out another parchment and wrote with the quill.

The one who is best at spreading rumors, shaping public opinion, doing stuff behind-the-scenes, and even having fun while doing it… was Sollip.

In just a week, the rumors had been heard by everyone, and it was clear that Cherise Wynn Castalia’s unidentified biological father was someone important enough that a dragon became her teacher.

“Ah, I will also tell the two princes. If I tell them that they have such a cute little sister, they will be happy.”

“Make it clear that she’s not a toy, but a little sister. Tell them to treat her well.”

The twins of Baikal, Idris and Gergis were currently not in the palace.

They had to go to an academy called Yensa Academy.

But it was time to come back soon, so it seemed like the time to officially introduce Cherise was near.

“By the way, Your Majesty, are you going to end Princess Alexandra punishment?”

“What do you think?”

Then, he heard the sound of her laughter again.

Wondering what kind of game she was playing to be in high spirits, Baikal deliberately focused his attention to hear her voice.

“I’m going to make a drink!”

“A drink?”

“Yes, a drink that can cure disease!”

Is that child really going to make medicine?

Even though he didn’t say it, she noticed that he felt uncomfortable.

She’s an incredible child.

“Princess Alexandra acted out of the line, ignored Cherise and hurt her, so I should ask her to write an apology letter.”

“That’s a good idea.”

“Tell her to write the apology letter with her own hands every day for a month.”

Baikal gave the command.

It couldn’t be written by her maids.

Only the letters written by the royal family have the energy of the dragon heart.

So she can’t fake it.

She wouldn’t apologize with a sincere heart anyway, so it was right to have her apologize many times.

It was proof that Alexandra had apologized to Cherise.

“Also, Your Majesty, she tried to use the Dragon Heart, so I will also spread a rumor that she doesn’t have the qualifications to become the heir. It would be better to say that she’s not as good as her father.”

“That’s fine.”

Baikal chuckled.

For the royal family, pride is more precious than their life.

He was excited to see how the Jane family would react.

‘Remembering that makes me feel a little better.’

The power structure within the imperial palace, which was messed up during his absence, will be corrected within a few days.

While Solip prepared the documents to force her to write an apology letter, Baikal had plans in his head.

It hasn’t been long since he’s been informed about the current situation in the political and financial world for about five years, but that doesn’t mean he can’t deal with it.

During his absence, Wynn’s family has been under attack.

Now it was time for revenge.

“Then, Your Majesty, when are you going to tell Princess Cherise that you are going to adopt her?”

“That’s…”

Confused about how to answer Sollip, Baikal kept his mouth shut.

Maybe later.

After the child gets used to this place.

It’s because she’s too small.

Well, unlike other people, she was way too fragile and weak.

“For now, keep it a secret. She shouldn’t die because of a surprise.”

“… Well, no one will die because they were surprised.”

“Maybe that kid is so weak that her heart may stop.”

Baikal was very serious.

It felt like she was a newborn.

A newborn that still can’t do anything well.

That would be worrying.

And above all else, she needed time to study.

‘I don’t know what it’s like to be in an ordinary father and daughter relationship, so I have to learn.’

First of all, unlike Idris, he didn’t think he should memorize all 3,899 existing magic circles because he wanted to do research to transform them.

Unlike Gergis, he didn’t think Cherise would ask him to become a practice opponent.

Well, they were the ones who were out of the ordinary.

But Baikal was confident.

He was so smart that he graduated at the top of the class even at the special Yensa Academy, which only has geniuses among geniuses, so there was nothing he couldn’t do if it’s related to studying.

Well being ‘normal’ should also be learned through hard work.

It was then…

“Sir, may I come in for a moment?”

One of his aides knocked cautiously.

His office was very spacious, and there was a translucent wall that separated them from him and Sollip.

Conversations held inside are inaudible to the aides who work outside.

Of course, when a wall is built like this, the rule is that no matter what happens, they must not interfere.

“It’s about Princess Cherise.”

“Come in.”

However, as soon as the name ‘Cherise’ was heard, Baikal immediately let him in the door.

“Thank you, my lord. Princess Cherise wants to use all the ulslum in the warehouse.”

“Ulslum? What does she want to do with it?”

“I didn’t know that. It’s just Grandpa Tomby, the gardener, came here to report that.”

“I see.”

Ulslum.

It was the word for all inedible fruits.

The flowers that bloom on the tree are beautiful, but the fruit was too sour, the size of it was small, and the seeds were large. Either that or it was poisonous.

He doesn’t know why she’s interested in it, but there was no reason for him to not give her what she wants.

‘Well, she adapted quite fast.’

It seemed that she now knew her rights, as expected of the bloodline of the royal family.

There was no way an average child would be able to ask for something in a day.

They would usually still be timid.

But Cherise was very cheerful and dignified.

“What should I do?”

“Let her do what she wants. Whether she play with the ulslum or whatever she does.”

The corners of the lips rose again.

Baikal nodded with satisfaction.

She was unexpectedly daring.

“Oh, wait a second.”

Baikal turned and summoned his aide again.

He had a good idea all of a sudden.

The aide was startled and turned to him again.

“Yes?”

“By tomorrow, get all the books on how to raise a daughter in a normal way.”

He gave him an unusual command.

All of his assistants, who heard the order, widened their eyes.

“B- books?”

“It doesn’t matter how many there are. I will read it all and analyze it to make me the perfect father.”

“……?”

“As long as I study, there is no father in this world that can be more perfect than the emperor.”

Baikal was confident.

He was sure there was no better idea than this.

But the aides who were working hard paused. Then, they faced each other and talked with each other’s eyes skillfully.

‘Why is he suddenly looking for parenting books?’

‘No way… Because Princess Cherise is staying at the White Night Palace?’

‘Well then, that’s a big deal!’

‘But when he was raising the princes… He wouldn’t be pushing her off a cliff this time right? Just because he wants to see how many seconds they will be up…’

‘The princes know how to climb up well.’

‘There were rumors that Princess Cherise is weak…!’

‘What if he treats her like the princes? She’ll die!’

‘No, that’s why he’s looking for a book on how to raise her normally.’

The sudden order filled the eyes of the aides with concern.

Because they knew well what Baikal had done in the past years to educate his sons.

Of course, the sons weren’t ordinary so it’s okay, but this time it’s going to be a little different.

‘We must buy a good book.’

‘The story of an ordinary family.’

‘Yes, it must be that!’

‘Hey, how about buying them all?’

‘Good idea!’

It was at this point when the aides were worried but they’re willing to protect Cherise’s life.

“Before that, does anyone here have a daughter?”

“……”

“Is there no one?”

When Baikal narrowed his brow, the aides became a little more resentful.

Since Baikal was imprisoned for many years, they had to solve a lot of things themselves, so were too busy with work.

They were busy defending Baikal’s people from more death threats and political pressure!

Of course, they didn’t have time to date.

Even though they managed to fall in love, they couldn’t even dare to get married.

But suddenly he’s asking if they had a daughter.

How could they have one, can they pick a daughter off a tree?

Could a daughter be born alone?

But there was no one brave enough to protest like that.

“Useless.”

Tsk.

Baikal looked back at those aides and clicked his tongue briefly.

It was a secret that only Sollip knew, Baikal was actually bragging that he has a daughter now.
