Epilogue 3. My Daughter Can’t Be a Villainess (6)

Prince Nox, the first prince of Rembui, was depressed the entire time.

The journey from the Kingdom of Rembui to the Greenwinsor Empire was quite an exhausting schedule for a 7-year-old child.

Moreover, his small and fragile shoulders were crushed under the burden of what his mother had said while grabbing his shoulders just before departing for the Empire.

“You must make a good impression on Lisa Kylie Blancarde, understand? If we can get that child, the relationship between the Greenwinsor Empire and our Rembui will become unshakably solid.”

“Queen Mother, I…”

“It would have been good if I had married as planned, but since that didn’t happen, you must fulfill the mission I couldn’t complete. You can do it, can’t you, Nox?”

“…”

“Answer me. You must become friends with that girl by any means necessary. The fate of Rembui depends on you.”

His mother Charlome was a frightening person.

She was someone who would willingly use even the son she bore in pain as a means for her own purposes.

The only thing important to his mother was the husband she loved.

But that didn’t mean his father loved Nox either.

The man who became king of Rembui through rebellion was too busy doing his best to meet his wife’s expectations to have time to look after his son.

From birth until today at age 7, Nox had lived crushed under a cruel mother and an indifferent father.

He had a gentle nature that couldn’t kill even an ant, and was criticized for being timid and weak.

Though Charlome didn’t say it in words, she was clearly quite disappointed in her son who didn’t meet her expectations.

So she was trying to sell him off to a princess from a distant empire.

The Crown Prince of the Greenwinsor Empire had not yet married and had no children.

There were children born to princesses, but even so, Charlome had proposed a marriage arrangement with Lisa.

That marriage proposal had already been mercilessly rejected, but even so, Charlome had ordered him to win the favor of the three-year-old girl, even if he had to kneel.

Lisa Kylie Blancarde.

The legitimate daughter of the prestigious House of Blancarde was rumored to have the Pope and Saint as her godmother and to be a child especially cherished by the Empire’s Crown Prince.

Having grown up receiving only love, how arrogant must she be.

Nox’s head drooped lower and lower.

Nox had no confidence in being loved by people. For someone like him to win a young child’s favor seemed impossible no matter how he thought about it. But if he failed at this task, his mother would surely be angry.

This time she might really cast him aside as unnecessary.

Nox had ears too. He knew that his mother wasn’t someone who showed mercy just because of blood relations.

Tears welled up in the frightened Nox’s eyes.

Just then, a white face suddenly appeared in Nox’s field of vision. Nox was so startled that he bit his tongue while swallowing.

“Ugh!”

“Oh, you okay?”

The round face tilted curiously. Nox covered his mouth and desperately shook his head.

“I’m fine! I, I’m…”

“Oh, you cwying!”

“I’m not crying, I’m not crying.”

“Liar, you are cwying?”

A small palm like a maple leaf gently wiped his eyes.

Nox burst into tears without realizing it. Lisa hesitated in confusion.

However, Nox, who had been suppressing his sorrow for over a month, couldn’t stop the tears once they started.

“No, this is, it’s not your fault, sorry…”

“Uh…”

“Waaaaaah… I’m going to be abandoned…”

Lisa slowly blinked her blue eyes, then hugged Nox’s head with her whole body. Nox, who had burst into tears, swallowed in surprise.

“Who’s gonna abandon you!”

“…”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I’ll help you!”

And she patted his head with her small hands as if tapping it.

Lisa did the same thing for Nox that Lloyd, Shane, Edelaine, and Genevieve had done for her whenever she cried.

She stroked his head, whispered kind and gentle words, and kissed his wet eyes and reddened nose tip.

Then the crying would stop and she would naturally start smiling.

“You’re pwetty, good boy, okay?”

“Me?”

“Sparkly sparkly.”

And when they told her she was pretty and that they loved her, Lisa became happy.

Lisa knew that people could make other people happy.

“When you’re sad, you can hug me too.”

“…”

“Genie said so. When you hug me, you become happy.”

Genevieve often spent time silently holding Lisa.

“Lisa, thank you.”

“For what?”

“When you’re here, the world looks beautiful.”

“Why?”

“Because I love you.”

Though it was incomprehensible words, Genevieve didn’t explain further.

“For you, I’ll be strong.”

“I love you too, Genie.”

“…”

“I like Genie so much.”

Then Genevieve would sniffle and kiss her forehead. Lisa would stay quietly in her arms for hours so Genevieve could gain strength. Because she liked being held.

“Should I pat pat you?”

“…Yes…”

Nox squeezed his eyes shut and clung to the barely three-year-old child.

Lloyd and Lucian witnessed the moment a young boy fell in love.

That would become the seed of misfortune in the distant future.

“Who does Lisa like the most?”

“Mama is the best…”

Lisa, tired from running around all day, rubbed her sleepy eyes and slurred her pronunciation.

Shane lifted his daughter up in place of Edelaine.

“What about Daddy? Lisa.”

“I like Daddy too.”

Lisa wrinkled her nose bridge and smiled. Then she closed her eyes and rubbed her forehead against Shane’s cheek. Shane kissed the warm skin that smelled like sunshine.

“Then shall we live with Mama and Daddy forever.”

“Won’t we always be together?”

“If Lisa doesn’t mind.”

“Mama, Daddy, Lloyd, Genie, Eddie, Lu, we’ll all live together.”

Shane unconsciously frowned.

“Aren’t there too many unnecessary people? Lisa. Just Mama and Daddy would be enough. We could live with Lloyd too, but the others…”

“No! All together!”

“…Alright, if you say you like all those people.”

“They’ll like it, right?”

Lisa sparkled her innocent blue eyes without a trace of doubt.

Shane laughed helplessly and said.

“Yes, if you want it, you should have it all.”

“Yeah, I’m going to live with everyone!”

No, you can’t do that, Lisa….

Living with everyone means a harem ending….

Edelaine swallowed the words she couldn’t bring herself to say.

Wanting to live with family was ordinary enough, but the problem was everyone’s attitude around her.

Her uncle, aunt, and father who gave Lisa full support to do whatever she wanted were truly people who could make anything happen.

Edelaine experienced firsthand that the beloved youngest of a powerful family could have anything she desired.

If someone really lives doing everything they want, they’ll be ruined.

Of course, Edelaine would focus on character education, but the environment and situation surrounding the child, plus the child’s personality of liking people, seemed ominous. I’ve seen this somewhere before. That flag looks ominous.

‘If she goes down the villainess route like that, it’ll be a disaster.’

If a female protagonist pops up somewhere, it’s a destruction ending, and even if she doesn’t appear, it’s a legendary villainess ending.

‘I thought my life had reached a happy ending, but a villainess route opened up for my daughter.’

Even while telling herself to stop thinking like it was a novel, she couldn’t shake off the ominous feeling.

Edelaine’s premonition was exactly right.

*

20 years later.

“If becoming someone worthy of you means I can do anything, Lisa. I’ll become emperor for you.”

Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Rembui and warmonger who founded a rising empire, Nox.

“I’m not your brother. I’m a man who loves you. Look at me properly, please.”

Lucas, adopted by the Greenwinsor Emperor and crowned as Crown Prince.

“Protecting you is the mission God gave me, Lisa.”

Grandson of the former Pope and promising Knight, Samuel.

“You like me. You won’t abandon me, right?”

Heir to a prestigious noble family of the Greenwinsor Empire that stands shoulder to shoulder with the Blancarde Family, Noah.

Lisa chose no one.

She chose to live alone, saying she loved everyone but couldn’t abandon anyone.

“Then we have no choice but to live together!”

“Huh? Do we really need to…?”

“That way we won’t fight each other. You don’t have to choose anything, Lisa.”

“R-right.”

A bizarre harem was established.

【War of Those Blinded by Love】,

【Ruler of the Continent, Loser in Love: She Loved No One】

【Powerful Men Who Walked into Their Own Graves】

【The Bizarre Harem, Woman Who Loved Plants: Lady of the Garden】

【Women Behind the Wars: Lisa’s Story】

Thus Lisa Kylie Blancarde left her name in continental history as a heartbreaker who would be remembered for ages.

【I Thought It Was the Ending When I Returned, But the Genre Changed】 End
