I Adopted A Villainous Dad

\'What a liar.\' "Daddy, did you…" I bit down on my lips before continuing, "Did you come out to see me?" \'Oh my god, Hallelujah.\' Miltiades looked at my teary eyes and gave up on explaining himself. "How is my dad so kind? I can practically move in… I\'m moving into your heart."

"…" Miltiades didn\'t know how to react as he stared at me. I didn\'t even care as I rubbed my cheek on his neck.

"Are you okay now?" he asked.

"Yeah! I feel a lot better!"

"That\'s a relief." Daddy smiled at me as I nodded.

Callian then interrupted our conversation, "I\'m so glad you\'re feeling better. We can finally be on our way in two days—"

Bam!

Miltiades moved Callian\'s face away and turned toward me. "We\'re going to Helsarose in two days."

"…?" \'What is going on?\' "Helsarose? In two days?"

"Yes."

\'Oh, we\'re finally going to the palace!\' I was excited about going to the legendary palace, but then I recalled something important. I had to get it out of the way. "Daddy, there\'s something I\'m curious about."

"What is it?"

"If we go to Helsarose, what\'s going to happen to the people I saved?" I didn\'t point out the male lead because Miltiades didn\'t like him. I then sent a signal to Callian. \'Hurry and help me out!\'

Callian didn\'t realize anything as he responded to my question, "We\'re not particularly sure, but we\'ll let the free people go and keep the slaves."

I quickly looked at Miltiades after listening to Callian. It didn\'t look like he wanted to set anyone free. \'He usually kills them or gets rid of them.\' It wasn\'t safe for Kais to be with Miltiades.

"Daddy." I smiled even wider than usual and held onto his clothes so that he couldn\'t reject me. He seemed to have realized something, and his expression changed. "Daddy, I saved lots of people."

"You did."

"Did I do a good job?"

"…"

Callian responded instead, "You did a great job. You\'re definitely the saintess."

Yes, this was why I had bribed him. I needed to get compliments. Callian looked happy as I gloated a bit. I then asked Daddy again, "Did I really do a good job?" \'Tell me what a good job I did.\'

Daddy finally nodded. "Yes, you did a good job."

"So you should compliment me, right?"

"… Yes."

"And I should get a prize?"

"…" Miltiades flattened his eyes. "What do you want?"

I was waiting for those words. "Well…" I couldn\'t tell him what I wanted right away. It would be too obvious! I waited a bit, and Miltiades made a face.

"Do you want gold?"

"Hm…"

"It seems there\'s something else you want."

I neither agreed nor disagreed. I just laughed a bit, and Daddy furrowed his brows with a complicated expression. \'Callian, what\'re you doing? Say something!\'

Callian did as I wished. He said, "Your Majesty, gold is too secular. What about giving the saintess something she\'d like?"

"…" Miltiades looked at me as he thought about it. "Tell me what you want. I\'ll do anything."

I was waiting for this! I immediately responded, "Give me those people!" Give me all the people I saved! "I saved them all, so I\'ll take responsibility!" Miltiades\'s face froze as I grinned. He looked like he wanted to say no, but I held my hands together with an expectant gaze so that he couldn\'t. \'Is he going to reject me?\'

"Hm?" Miltiades was on the verge of saying no and trying to change the subject when he heard those words.

"You can!" Miltiades\'s face fell at Callian\'s outburst.

"Ah! Really?"

"You saved them, so of course, you should take care of them!"

"…"

I could feel the anger Miltiades exuded and how much he wanted to kill Callian. Callian glanced at me and coughed. "Your Majesty, you were still deciding on what to do with them anyway. Isn\'t it meaningful for them to give their lives to the saintess? Don\'t do you think so?"

I heard my dad mutter, "That bastard," under his breath. Callian didn\'t seem to care about the glare directed at him, and he looked at Miltiades with the same expectant gaze as I did. Two times the expectations! Eventually, my dad gave up.

"…Fine." His voice wasn\'t happy at all, but he had given his permission. It was our win.

"Yay! You\'re the best!" I grabbed his neck and celebrated. He looked at my giddy self with a mixed expression as if he were thinking \'as long as she likes it\'. "I have no one else but you! I like you the most in the world!" I kissed Miltiades\'s cheek, and his eyes widened. He was so cute I wanted to kiss his other cheek.

"…!" The people next to us were shocked. Callian put his hand over his mouth and made a face as though he had seen something he wasn\'t supposed to.

"The saintess… kiss… kissed… His Majesty!" He made it sound like I had killed someone. I looked at Miltiades, who remained frozen.

"…?" I waved my hands in front of his eyes, but he didn\'t give a response. It looked like he wouldn\'t react to anything. \'Wait! Is this an opportunity?\' I grabbed onto my frozen dad as a great idea came to my mind. "Daddy! There\'s one more thing I want!"

* * *

"… So you brought me here?" Kais said when we reached the training grounds.

"Yup!" I smiled and nodded. Kais looked at me with a dumbfounded expression as I continued, "I worked really hard for this precious opportunity."

"…"

It was an opportunity made by a kiss. A spar between Kais and Miltiades. \'Does he think it\'s easy to get such an opportunity?\' I was hoping that Kais would act better after experiencing Miltiades\'s strength, but it was a good chance for him as well. He would drastically improve after going against a strong opponent.

"You told me that you won\'t make me regret this." Kais flinched.

I looked at his star-like eyes and smiled. "Remember what I said? Prove to me that you\'re useful." When I said that, his gaze immediately changed. He seemed like a different person as he wordlessly looked into my eyes. Even though I was pretending like this was a fair exchange, Kais probably knew the truth. There was no reason for me to make such a deal.

"Try blocking his attacks for thirty seconds," I told him what to do as I handed him a sword. Enduring Miltiades for 30 seconds would be a feat for anyone, but Kais made a face.

"… Ten minutes," he softly replied and grabbed onto the weathered sword. "I\'ll win."

"…!" Kais held the sword and walked toward the middle of the training grounds. \'Is he crazy?\' I wondered. He was declaring his win against Miltiades while being nine years old.

Miltiades was already standing in the middle of the training grounds with a sword in his hands. He then saw Kais nod at him without an ounce of fear. \'Well, at least he\'s enthusiastic.\'

Miltiades\'s eyebrows twitched. He seemed to be annoyed. "Let\'s start."

Hearing his words, Kais positioned himself. He didn\'t look like a kid as he launched himself at Miltiades.

Pat!

Miltiades avoided Kais\'s attack as if he didn\'t care, then grabbed onto his neck.

"Ugh!"

Miltiades threw Kais to the ground in one second and asked, "Are you going to try again?"

I didn\'t know if he had gotten hurt after being thrown onto the floor, but Kais\'s expression wasn\'t good. I stood up in worry. However, Kais grit his teeth and got up.

Miltiades\'s eyes flashed. He initially didn\'t care, but it now seemed like he was having fun. Nevertheless, Kais lost in one second again.

"He\'s impressive for a young kid."

"I want to move like His Majesty."

"It\'s probably difficult for him to breathe with that bloodlust."

Berrict seemed to be having fun watching Kais. Callian looked at Miltiades\'s movement and remarked, "That\'s His Majesty for you. No unnecessary movements!"

I shook my head and turned back to the spar. It looked more like a punishment than a spar. After falling to the floor and getting up a few times, Kais had started panting.

"It\'s time to end it." Miltiades spun his sword a few times as it glinted gold.

\'Is he going to use aura on a kid?\' He was getting too serious! I was holding my hands together and fidgeting when I saw Miltiades point his sword at Kais\'s neck. "…!" I held my breath.

Kais was the most surprised of all of us. The sword that had been pointing at his throat was now stuck into the wall next to him. A bit of Miltiades\'s aura had scratched his neck and left a thin trail of blood.

"Remember this feeling, kid." Miltiades slowly spoke, "The next time you feel it, you\'ll be dead."

"…!" It sounded like he was threatening Kais, but he was teaching him. If Kais ever felt an aura assault him like this, death was certain.

Miltiades threw his sword. It couldn\'t deal with the aura and broke apart. I hadn\'t cared when I had seen divine power for the first time, but I was interested in seeing Miltiades\'s aura. \'How can someone be that bright?\'

Miltiades looked at me after throwing his sword. I had to… clap! "Daddy, you\'re so cool!" Miltiades smiled as he saw my genuine happiness. He was proud of himself. My favorite character was so cute that I couldn\'t breathe.
