The Little Demon King is Too Bothered by Her Brave Dads

d to suppress the dissatisfaction that suddenly popped up.
Then, she forcibly pushed up the corners of her lips and smiled.

 

‘It’s your first day back as a duke, but you didn’t even rest a little bit…….’

 

‘It’s okay.
More than that, I have a few things to tell you about Tatiana, so I called you here.’

 

‘Tatiana… … the young Miss.’

 

Miss.

 

The word bounced around in her mouth.
It felt like her stomach got twisted from an angry heart.

 

At the same time, Siegfried leaned back in his chair, continuing.

 

‘The child’s body is not very healthy, so please take care of the health by attaching a dedicated primary care physician.’

 

‘…….’

 

Who the hell is she?

 

Countess Ghiberti was really puzzled.

 

Didn’t he say earlier, as soon as he entered the townhouse, “Please make it as convenient as possible so that the child does not feel uncomfortable”?

 

But the odd thing about this was.

’

 

‘…… He didn’t show any of that kindness to his own nieces and nephews’

 

Siegfried had had almost no interaction with his father, the previous duke, or with his relatives.
Of course, the long-standing feud with the previous duke was the source.

 

Apart from that, Siegfried was basically not someone with a caring personality.
It was bizarre that such a duke would pay such attention to a child.

 

‘Ah, right.’

 

Siegfried added words as if he had just come up with them.

 

‘I’ll have dinner with Tatiana, so please prepare that part as well.’

 

‘…… yes, my Lord.’

 

The countess, who was reflecting about the conversation at that time, bit her lip.

 

She glanced down at Tatiana, who trotted beside her.

 

‘I don’t know yet, but if…….’

 

If Siegfried would adopt that kid as his daughter.

 

If so, the chance that the countess’s son or grandson will inherit the title of Duke of Orleans would be even lower.

 

‘At this rate, my grandchildren are going to be pushed back by that little girl, right?’

 

In a sudden surge of displeasure, countess Ghiberti curled her brows and shot back at Tatiana, “Why are you walking so slowly?”

 

Hearing that ferocious voice, Tatiana stiffened her shoulders.

 

“What would you do if the duke arrived at the dining room first? Hurry up and follow me.”

 

Tatiana was teased stingingly about her short legs.

 

The countess, who was annoyed at the movement of the child, immediately turned her head away while clicking her tongue.

 

‘Yeah, I’m just turning a blind eye to that hateful little girl for now.’

 

It is true that in order to inherit the title of duke in the future, you have to look good to Siegfried.

 

Only after controlling her mind many times.

 

Countess Ghiberti was barely able to calm the seething displeasure.

 

***

 

I saw a large door in the distance.

 

‘Oh.’

 

I admired it inwardly.
When someone is the only duke in the empire, even the dining room door is shiny, I guess?

 

’

But then.

 

‘What?’

 

Suddenly Countess Ghiberti stopped walking.

 

Then she reached her hand out to me with a gentle smile on her face.

 

“Now, would you like to hold my hand? I’ll take you into the dining room.”

 

“…….”

 

I looked down at the hand that was reaching out to me with cold eyes.

 

No, until just now, you acted as if walking with me itself was unpleasant, didn’t you?

 

Why are you pretending to be friendly all of a sudden?

 

But anyway, I’m in a position to play a gentle and nice kid.

 

“Yes!”

 

Pretending not to know anything, we quickly held hands.
The countess flinched, but she did not shake my hand away.

 

So, we entered the dining room side by side and holding hands.

 

Siegfried, who had been examining papers while reclining on a chair in the dining room, glanced up.

 

“Tatiana.”

 

“Siegfried!”

 

As always, I came to Siegfried’s side.

 

“Are you busy?”

 

“Well, I can’t say I’m not busy.”

 

Siegfried shrugged lightly.

 

“But it’s your first time here at the duke’s estate, so shouldn’t we at least have a meal together?”

“…….”

 

That gentle answer made me a bit subdued.

 

“…… Did Tati come down to the dining room on purpose?”

 

I don’t want to be a troublesome child, but somehow I feel like I’ve unintentionally interfered with Siegfried…..

 

Then, as Siegfried secretly narrowed his brows–

 

“You made me care.”

 

–A large hand came up to the top of my head.
