“Sigh… She’s your and Mina’s daughter, how could she be useless? Had it ever occurred to you that the equipment could be faulty, or that she could improve over the years? That’s why I told Jitah you are unworthy of his granddaughter…” Grandfather? person sighs in disappointment.

“Improved? What do you mean?” Master asks.

“You fool! Your 16 years old daughter is 3rd Stage Martial Apprentice, in what way can she be considered a thrash?! Her progress is as good as her older sister’s!” Grandfather? person shouts at Master.

I don’t know why, but hearing Grandfather person talk about Miss like that makes me very happy!

“3rd Stage Martial Apprentice?! That can’t be, I had specially made her retake the test about two years ago! She didn’t have any Martial talent that time!” Master shouts in disbelief.

“… I have been enduring your rude remarks about my daughter for a while, but my patience is running low. Keep at it and I will throw your corpse to pigs.” Mommy suddenly says coldly.

Urrr… I feel cold crawling my spine.

“……”

“……”

Grandfather person and Master look at Mommy.

Master with a pale face, Grandfather person with an approving nod? Eh? Why?

Grandfather person’s expression suddenly stiffens.

Eh?

W, why is he looking at me like that?

Did I do something wrong?

I take refuge behind Mommy.

“What are you doing, Father. You are scaring my Latifa.”

“Hm? Your Latifa? She seems familiar…”

“Hey, she’s my Latifa!” Miss suddenly jumps behind Mommy and hugs me.

“……”

“Watch your manners in front of your elders!” Master suddenly shouts.

Grandfather person raises his hand to stop Master from talking.

“Hmm. Isn’t she Camry’s daughter? I thought she was familiar. That must be it!” Grandfather person says.

“Camry? Minister of Finances? Why would he…” Master says in realization.

“No, not Eamon. His son Tobias. I certainly remember this girl being with Tobias when he was captured.”

T, T, Tobias.

My heart gets startled.

It starts beating quickly.

I suddenly feel dizzy.

My stomach hurts.

I feel tears flowing down my cheek.

“Latifa?! Are you okay?!” Miss shouts in worry.

“A, a, awuu…”

Miss… Mommy…

I, I , I have nothing to do with that person!

Don’t abandon me!

Don’t, don’t throw me away!

I… Latifa is not a traitor!

P, please don’t remove head from my body!!

Latifa doesn’t want to become pig food!

“Latifa! Latifa! It’s okay! I’m here!”

I suddenly feel a warmth spreading through my body.

It’s Miss.

Her embrace is warm.

“Ohh, don’t worry, little girl. Your father already paid for his crimes. And you are suffering as a slave for something you had no choice, but to get involved in. I won’t persuade this matter any longer… However, Mina? Shouldn’t you discuss with elders before adopting a daughter?” Grandfather person says.

“What?!” Master suddenly shouts.

“Eh? What does Father speak of? I’m sure I didn’t adopt Latifa?” Mommy tilts her head.

“Hmm? Then, why does the little girl addresses you as ‘Mommy’?” Grandfather person asks in puzzlement.

Ehhhh?

Grandfather person can understand me?!
