The Hero Proposed to Me

Why would I? I bragged about you a lot. About how cute and nice our Ciel is.

Is she an angel or just a fool? Common sense should make her jealous, but my sister just stroked my head with a big smile.

Im not nice, Im not cute.

No way. In my eyes, our Ciel is the nicest and cutest in the world, so its okay.

What should I do with this happy sister, even though she wants me to marry her husband?

I have a headache. I hate myself. I wanted nothing but to avoid the death flag.

When the word marriage suddenly came out of Alexs mouth, I almost forgot I was still only ten years old.

Its a good thing Father put everything in order. It wouldve been a disaster otherwise.

It was the Duke of Valentine, my father, who saved me from all sorts of thoughts.

With me by his side, and unable to reply, he cut off the Princes proposal.

Thank you for your kind words, but my daughter is now ten years old. I understand your feelings, but please reconsider it.

He didnt mean to be funny, but the conversation left plenty of room for laughter.

It was true; if Dad agrees to support him, Alex will become the future Emperor right away. And if I marry him, I will inevitably become Empress.

To be honest, its not strange just from the familys point of view[1].

Thats ridiculous. This cant happen.

Why do you think so?

Thats it, of course!

Because hes the male lead. Thats just a hypothetical story, but if things continue like this, the evil girl flag Ive been trying to avoid will be resurrected.

I will become a cunning evil woman who stole the Crown Prince who was supposed to marry my sister, and my sister, who barely realized the situation, despises me, and blah blah blah. Whatever happens, happens. Then after

Please dont let me slide into the prisons drizzle.

Uh.

I cant say its because hes the male lead, and I couldnt come up with a good excuse.

In fact, its difficult to reject this proposal since some aspects of it, such as the status and age difference, are understandable for this world.

Based purely on aesthetics, if they are beautiful men and women with politically compatible principles, it is perfect.

Apart from that, my mom has a tense relationship with the Empress. Because of Mothers character, this time, shell never let this go.

My mother did not attend the Palace events, claiming different reasons except for the fact that Princess Lotte had hurt her daughter.

Since its like this, there is no reason for my father to hesitate in allying with Alex while keeping an eye on Princess Lotte.

Ciel, here you are.

Mom.

My family was seriously affected by the incident. The apple of their eyes showed up, with a red mark on her cheek.

Ive never seen my mother, who is always smiling, look so scary.

After a few days, my mother was still enraged to the tip of her head. Perhaps shed accumulated a lot of anger since childhood, but she expressed her anger by remembering everything the Princess had done.

Youve had a terrible temper since you were a child, and you dare touch my daughters face!

Mom, it was just an accident.

What kind of accident is that? I know her temper. Shes just mean.

You can see the rough atmosphere just by looking at my mothers reaction. Officially, Alex and I were hurt when the Princess fell by accident; that was the end of the story.

The Princess.

Isaac was surprisingly calm, despite the fact that hed only learned the truth recently. I expected my brother to flee to kill the person who slapped his beloved sister, but hes really quiet.

But its just an illusion. Although he doesnt speak openly, my fool brother seemed to be seriously considering assassinating the Princess as he fiddled with his sword with a fierce expression.

Please dont kill anyone. But Im glad to hear that bad rumors about the Princess are spreading everywhere.

The major issue right now is another. Dad has been fully enthralled since that day.

Are you sure youre not going to work today?

Ciel. Our Ciel. Come to daddy.

The Duke of Valentine was out of his mind. He interrupted his official duties and locked himself in the mansion, perhaps taken aback by the fact that his young daughter had been proposed to.

Then he mumbles around the mansion alone for no reason and watches my sleeping face all night in the bedroom without my mother knowing.

Daddy, Im really fine.

Daddy is not fine. Youre going to live with your mom and dad forever, right?

PR/N: I Cant. I love her dad. How can he be this cute?

TL/N: We need more cute dads and not those abusive families T-T

He mumbled in a low voice; his hair loose like a nest. Even though his usual style is good, he looks pretty cool with his hair in this style.

But we cant let it go like this. Alex brought up the story first, and my father had to hurry before the Princesss faction moved, but he was doing so when he was busy.

Lets just solve it first. I took a deep breath and approached my father.

Father, Ciel doesnt want you to do this.

Why are you using honorifics, my baby.

What baby. How old am I?

Im a lady now, too. There are people who need Dads help, so you have to get up now.

My father immediately understood that I was alluding to the past. Of course, Alex is the one who needs help.

My mom or sister would understand that he should go to work, but only he knew what I meant.

Ciel, do you want Daddy to help?

I nodded. I may not know anything, but the most obvious thing is that the Princess cursed my mom. I glanced at her standing next to Clara and clenched my teeth.

Im not sure of anything, but knowing someone cursed my mother means were going all the way. The Princess has now become an enemy of all Valentines.

Yeah, Im the villainess anyway, so Im going to end it. I got close to my dad and whispered softly in his ear.

She asked. She asked me what Mother was teaching me[3].

Now, what is my dad gonna do now? As soon as I mentioned that she cursed my mother, my fathers eyes changed.

Thats what she said.

Lets put firewood in. Lets have a blood festival. Lets go all the way to the end.

PR/N: Yes literally says blood festival our Ciel is insane xD

Yes, I can tolerate being insulted, but I cannot tolerate her being insulted.

Yes, I cant stand it either, Dad.

She cant possibly imagine how much her thoughtless scolding might bring her.

With that last blow, Dad got up from his seat.

My dad exudes the charisma of a cold autumn day. He looked like a handsome homeless man just a moment ago. Even with his eyes closed, the atmosphere that he would produce around him was serious.

Well done. Well done. Our daddy is so good.

The Duke of Valentine is so powerful that he can even drop the stars if he wants to.

PR/N: Im kinda starting simping for her dad.

TL/N: Take him.Ill take Alex

There were many people who usually laughed and looked down on him for his kindness, but his true value was revealed when he married my mother.

Mother, a simple Counts daughter, even drew the Princes attention. She met my father for the first time while being unaware of his status as a Duke.

She found out the truth later and tried to run away, claiming she didnt like annoying things and that my father would be troublesome. It is said that he dealt with all the people around him.

I dont remember this part, so Ill ask them myself later.

The reason why my dad was so out of control was because he loved her so much in the first place. Even my mother was insulted because I supposedly was acting out of place. Since the things he loves the most were hurt, its natural for him to be angry.

After trimming his fluffy chocolate-colored hair neatly, Dad approached Mom straight away.

Honey.

Now go out Oops!

A kiss scene that was not allowed for minors to see, unfolded. Surprised, Clara hurriedly covered my eyes. I didnt like it.

What are you doing all of a sudden!

Only after the moment ended could I see. With my embarrassed mother in front of him, my father smiled confidently.

I love you. You and our kids.

Moms face was reddened by the unexpected attack from her husband. Its been a long time since they got married, but my mom and dads love has not changed at all.

People all over the world know that my father fell in love with my mothers beauty unilaterally, but what I have seen from the side couldnt have been one-sided.

Because Mom and Dad have similar personalities and values, they dont fight. Of course, neither of them is perfect.

Dad is rational and cool-headed at work, but he has the disadvantage of becoming overly excited by his familys problems.

On the contrary, Mom doesnt get over-excited but she implements her own parenting philosophy to treat our siblings as equally as possible.

Both of them are good parents, too good by my standards, although they cant help but love their youngest daughter too much.

Its my first time receiving this kind of love in my life.

I approached them holding Claras hand tightly.

Youre not fighting, are you?

If I fight with Mom, your dad will never win. You know.

Ciel and Clara, you still have a lot to learn. If you have any concerns, make sure to talk to Mom and Dad, okay?

Clara, who stood next to me, at the words of her affectionate parents, smiled like a blue sky without a single dark cloud.

Im glad my efforts are not in vain.

[1] Based off their familys backgrounds, it would make sense,

[2] Shes talking about not going to prison in this life.

[3] This is about Ch16 when Princess Lotte asks Ciel what her mother teaches her for her to be acting disrespectful in front of her.
