Chapter 110.1

“What are you checking?”

I felt something strange. For some reason, my father’s face looked serious.

“Is there a problem? Is that why?”

I haven’t met my twin brother since the day I found out the truth. He felt relieved because he was doing well, and it seemed like he was in the Grand Duke’s house.

I shook my father’s dithering body without speaking clearly.

“Huh? Is he sick?”

“No, he’s healthy and well. He’s waiting for the day to meet you again, eat well, sleep well and stay like that.”

“Really?”

“Yes, because he has lived a different life than you. He’s been used and brainwashed. It’ll take a while to figure it out, but he’ll soon be able to live like a normal child.”

For a moment, a strange sound came from my father’s mouth. What was it? At the same time, Dad’s face, which had been smiling all along, hardened mercilessly.

“Dad?”

“It wouldn’t even be good enough to rip them to shreds. How dare they do that to my children…”

I just blinked at the sight of my father, who was somehow different from usual. It must have been a feeling that he was scolding something… and my dad kept talking to himself for a long time.

Of course, he did say some harsh things that I wouldn’t understand. Words were harsher than the words of death, and were so bad that I was even afraid to say them with my own mouth.

Dad, who had been muttering for a long time, probably came to his senses belatedly and smiled awkwardly.

“Haha, so what were we talking about?”

“Yeah, Dad said it wouldn’t even be good enough to rip them to shreds… so I don’t have to worry about it.”

“Huh?”

My father, who was shaking his head, clapped his hands as if he remembered something and nodded.

“All right? Let’s pretend you didn’t hear what I just said. Uh, anyway… I mean… we were talking about your brother, right?”

“Oh, yeah! Didn’t you want to meet my twin brother?”

“I did. Anyway, he is doing well… and I need to check with both of you.”

Dad rolled his eyes from to and fro, as if trying to get past the stories just now.

“Yes. Will you check? What is it? Are you going to talk again this time?”

This isn’t fun. He hid it all now and later on, yet I did this and that! It was the worst for a person who goes through it to tell you and then reverse it.

I puckered my lips.

“No, I won’t change the subject. You know, I think your power is a little unusual.”

“Power?”

“Yes. The first time we met, and the power you showed me in the forest after that… it was stronger than me, the current Grand Duke. It probably has more powers than the first ruler who established the first Grand Duke.”

My mind went blank as if I had heard the secret of my birth that had been hidden as my father spoke calmly. To say that my power is greater than the first ruler means that my power is not of a different kind. In the end, it is the same kind of power.

Somehow, my heart pounded. I understood to some extent the story that I was my father’s daughter, but I felt a bit out of touch because I felt like I was the only one who had an unusually different power.

“Uh… well, am I not the only one who has this special power?”

“At first, I researched thinking that you had the power of another family, but there was no other family with such strong power. Then it was only when it turned out that you were my child. Perhaps there is no tendency similar to the power of the first ruler.”

My heart beat so fast. When I first knew my powers, I thought it was a blessing, and when it didn’t help my mom, I thought it was useless.

I was grateful when I could win my father’s favor here, but I always wondered what it would have been like if my powers were different.

However, it was the same power.

‘I guess I’m really your daughter.’

My heart pounded because I felt that I had a way to prove myself.

“Avelant! Have you heard anything about the first Grand Duke?”

“Yes! She was a great person! She couldn’t become an emperor because she was a woman, but still, she was a strong person.”

“The power she had had weakened as time went by. But I think it’s true that Bebe’s power was probably the power of these predecessors.”

“By the way, didn’t Dad say that our powers were a little different?”

“Yes, I couldn’t really judge it because it’s stronger than mine. I couldn’t say ‘I don’t know because your strength is stronger than mine’.”

As if it reminded me of that time, my dad smiled and stroked my head.

“And I didn’t know why it was so hard to judge, until I met your twin brother, and to some extent, I knew why.”

“What? Why are you talking around like that? That’s not funny.”

Come on, tell me. Hurry up. I was getting impatient.
