Chapter 43

When I opened my eyes again, it was already dark.

"Wow......."

I've slept too long, I'm trying to get up, and my body is frowned upon.

As soon as a small sound came out of my mouth, someone ran in full swing.

"Tia, are you okay?"

It was the voice of a worried father.

"Dad?"

"Yes, Tia. It's Dad."

My father's familiar touch stroked my hair.

"Why am I still here?"

I was just hit by the ball and fell down.

I also bleed some nosebleeds, but that's all.

In fact, there was a time when I awake.

But the bed is very comfortable.

At that time, there were no twins already, and because it was quiet, it was good to relax, so I had to sleep more and get up later.

And this time when I open my eyes.

I didn't know I would be lying here until dark like this.

"My Tia seemed to be sleeping well, so I was waiting for you to get up."

"Don't do that and wake up me instead, dad."

Still, it's a little embarrassing that I slept without hesitation while making my busy father wait.

My father shook his head and laughed at me.

"This is not a big deal, but I wish you had a good rest."

I also make my father worry.

It wasn't a big deal, but it must have been a lot of surprises because I fell down.

I laughed as I tried to relieve my father's worries.

But my father's eyes even sadder.

"I heard a story from Shananet sister. Belsach hit you with a wooden sword"

Eh? wooden sword?

I got a nosebleed because I was hit by the ball in the face?

It turned out that Belsach picked up Astalliu's wooden sword at the end.

"But you told the twins not to hit Belsach..."

My father's warm hand swept my forehead once again.

"Why are you so good, my daughter......"

"That's it, I mean."

"It would be better if you took care of your greed a little more."

A little more?

I tried to figure this out by blinking my eyes.

So, people seem to have misunderstood the situation before I fell.

The reason I fell wasn't that Belsach wielding a wooden sword, but because I was struck by a ball thrown by him.

Belsach couldn't even swing the wooden sword.

And the meaning of the word 'don't hit Belsach', which I was about to fall, wasn't such a kind word.

It meant 'because my nosebleeds, I'm not going to let him standstill, so prepare yourself'.

Everyone seems to have misunderstood.2

My father was looking at me with eyes that seemed to see the best angel in the world.1

Perhaps that's the same with other people who have heard this story.

People like the twins, Shananet, and grandfathers.

The excuses made by Belsach or Astalliu would not have been accepted.

Maybe it has already spread out loud in the Lombardy mansion.

How do I do this?

I looked up at my father, raising my head, which had been lowered for a while, and thinking.

"I'm fine, Dad."

What do I do, let the misunderstanding spread?

I said with a more angelic smile at my father.

My father laughed as he stroked my cheeks with a softer hand.

"Don't worry too much, Tia. Belsach will not be able to harass you in the future."

Seemed good, but I didn't expect this condition to last long.

Just as expected.

It was Belsach, who I thought had improved his position because he became Astana's friend this time, as well as the last family banquet.

And as soon as that happens, he just stepped on my back as if to relieve the resentment.

It was obvious even if I didn't see it, such an idiot's mind.

However, no matter how ridiculous I look at Belsach, there is no way to help the obvious difference in physique.

I'm still young, and I'm smaller than my peers.

Belsach, who is older than me, will increasingly gain that physical advantage, and I am compelled to worry about my future, which will continue to be thorny.

Even I thought about what to do to prepare for Belsach's attack.

But my grandfather came out like this and solved my worries instead!

In fact, if he breaks the order of restraining access, he will be stopped, and Belsach will never linger next to me anymore.

And in the future, he won't be able to make up his mind to hit me easily.

I know that he is scared of grandfather.

"Dad, I'm fine now. Can't we go home?"

At my words, my father stood up and held me lightly.

"Once it looks like there's no big mark, the doctor said you had to stay in the room for a few days because he didn't know if there are other injuries."

People thought I was beaten with a wooden sword by Belsach, so I can't do anything about it.

I nodded quietly.

As I pass through the darkened corridor in the arms of my father, a group of employees who are returning after finishing their daily routine recognize and greet us.

Certainly, wearing a uniform gave them some unity and looked much better.

At that time, a maid, with an impressive round face with big eyes, approached us carefully and asked.

"Well, Miss Florentia. Are you okay?"

I didn't know how to talk to her, so I couldn't answer right away and blinked.

"I heard you fell down......"

Another person came up and said anxiously.

They weren't the only ones looking at my condition.
