Chapter ss-18: Side Story 18
This was not a permission, but a notification.I no longer need ask for permission from the Duke. "Penelope."The Duke quickly asked me with a surprised look. "Where the hell are you going, leaving your house? Huh?" "Anywhere."I replied so quietly after some time."So you’re not going to give me a farewell.""Penelope!"Like when he heard I had met Yvonne, The Duke’s face turned pale."We didn’t finish the conversation last time. No matter what anyone says, you’re my daughter. How does it make sense to cut the vile between parents and children!""I know you’d say that."I nodded my head in silence.Updated from lightnove/lpub[.]com"Then from now on, please don’t care what I do."Game is over, and I have to go through a future that I no longer known in this world. "Wherever I go, whatever I do there, even if I marry someone you hate.""Penelope Eckart!"The Duke opened his eyes and shouted."What the hell is wrong with you? Don’t to care what you’re doing!"When he asked me, he looked at my expressionless face and suddenly shut his mouth. It seemed he had figured out the reason.After a moment the duke soon opened his mouth with a tired look."I was the one who bring you here and I admit I haven’t looked after you properly.""....."The most up-to-date novels are published on lightnovel/p/u/b[/.]com"ButNow I have one daughter left with my eyes are wide open. You just tell me about Yvonne’s news,and now you’re telling me this ? Huh? Uh, you can smash your father’s heart." The Duke’s expression full of grief and sorrow, made my heart flutter.The Duke was a man with great responsibility.Besides, he have a little guilt for me, so he’ll be more protective of me.Of course, I know his words and actions toward me are not simply due to responsibility and guilt. Now I’ve got a little affection from him, and maybe he had been thinking me as a real family.But because of it, I have spent hellish days with my heart divided in two. The desire for affection and the desire to be recognized by them.Their hatred driving me crazy and made me so miserable. Just like my pride which been broken every time it happend.Whenever I saw Duke, I was troubled by the conflict between the two emtions. "I asked if you didn’t blame me for killing Yvonne."Nevertheless."If.... You stay by my sideI’ll apologize all the time, and may be you can forgive me then.""Me tooI want to be comfortable now.’I shook my head slowly at the Duke who had a faint hope."Over time, I hope that someday I will be able to treat my father sincerely, not as a pretense that I made up"".....""So stop confronting the Crown Prince under the pretext of me. Besides, I don’t have any intention to marry him right away."The words that stood out for my people popped out rather calmly.The Duke who had opened his eyes wide and stiffened at my words, shouted one step late. "...... Penelope, my dear. It’s not like that. I, I just wanted him to tell you!"He, who was shouted violently denying words, suddenly stopped talking. And bittersweet things popped out."....""I’m sorry, my dear. But still""....""Will you accept it as the last gift from your father?"I turned away from him and looked down at the excavation kit. ’What happens when i get this.’To be honest, I was worried.I came here to break up the bad relationship, but if I receive it, it will continue to be nasty. But in the end, it was useless agony.No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t find a reason for not accept it. "Thank you."Tak-.I locked the lid of the case and stood up, then bowed lightly. "Take care, Duke.""Yes. You too, please"He finally couldn’t speak and covered his eyes with one hand. Finally.It was the real farewell to the Duke, which I couldn’t made it during coming-of-age ceremony.
