I Became the Villain’s Lost Daughter

“Lady, what are you doing?”

Mary’s voice could be heard from the outside, as the sound of the chair falling was quite loud.

 

“Nothing, I’m just stretching a little.”

 

Confused for a moment, I straightened my voice and responded with a calm tone.

 

“Lady, please don’t overdo it and be careful.”

 

Then I heard Mary’s answer from the outside as if giving up since she couldn’t stop me.

 

“Yes, I will.
Haha!”

 

I answered in a natural voice until the end, and at the same time as Mary moved away, I hurried towards the balcony.

 

Of course, as I walked, I didn’t forget to put a silenced spell all over my room.

 

Even if a little voice leaks out, a very difficult situation will unfold.

 

Thud~

 

I opened the balcony door in a hurry, grabbed the arm of a large man, and pulled him into the room.

 

Overall, he was much larger than me, and came to be pulled by me without any resistance.

 

“Sit comfortably for a moment.”

 

Having left him on the sofa, I drew the curtains meticulously so that no one could see him from the outside.

 

And after I had locked the door, I approached the person still wearing the hood.

 

“Sigh…”

 

He sat quietly in an awkward posture that I had let him sit in without any sound.

 

In the three months I hadn’t seen him, Thane seemed to have grown a little.

 

“Why not sit down comfortably? Why are you sitting like that?”

 

I burst out laughing at his awkward posture and approached and sat next to him, not opposite from him.

 

There was a reason why I sat next to him instead of opposite him as usual.

 

“You can take off your hood now.
No one can see you here.”

 

After hesitating for a while, he quickly leaned back his hood slowly.
As he turned his body slightly, his face became clear.

 

A scar on his forehead that was faintly visible through the pine-colored hair that fell down calmly.

A little droopy eyes, blue-colored gray eyes, and firmly bitten lips.

 

Unlike his large and firm body, even when he was fully matured, he had a face that had a faint and innocent look.

 

However, the most noticeable of them was a pair of dark gray ears lying quietly on gray hair.

 

Unlike humans, his ears were covered with soft-looking fur.

 

The man whom I was going to meet with Yurgen today, and who belongs entirely and loyal to me,

 

Because Thane was a beast.

 

 

✿

 

 

The first time I met Thane was in winter four years ago when it snowed heavily.

 

It has been half a year since I met Yurgen.
That was when I was actually implementing my plan.

 

The street was filled with laughter from people bursting into tears of joy, adorning the end of the year.

 

However, while there are people who have a pleasant and happy year-end, there are those who don’t even know what day it was today or what the scenery outside was like deep underground.

 

“Are you really going here? This is not a place for a lady to go.”

 

When I heard the name of the place we were going to, I bit my lips.

 

The place I was going to was a fighting arena, where people’s lives were lighter than flies.

 

Of course, I didn’t want to come to this place either.

 

Furthermore, now that we do not have the power to publicly punish them.

 

“It may be cruel in your eyes.
It’s a place where people die.”

 

“I’m not going because I want to go.
There’s someone I need to find.”

 

Because I won’t be able to bring it to you unless it’s today.

 

The latter mumbled very softly.

 

Eventually, Yurgen and I entered a shop with our hood on and our faces covered with masks.

 

As I was only fourteen, my small body was temporarily changed using disposable artifacts.

 

Of course, they couldn’t see my face as it was, as I put illusion magic on both Yurgen and my appearance.

Perhaps, in the eyes of others, I would appear completely different from myself, as an ordinary adult.

 

“Welcome! For two?”

 

The shop we entered looked like an ordinary restaurant.
Like any other place, you can feel the loud atmosphere unique to the end of the year.

 

At the owner’s question, Yurgen, who was next to me, held out a piece of black card without saying a word.

 

“Well, I’ll take a look.”

 

The owner, who took the card, put it on the ring he was wearing on his finger.

 

Then, white letters appeared on the black card that had nothing on it.

 

“Oh, you’ve been a valued customer! Come this way, please.”

 

When he handed out his card to us again and walked along with the sneaky man, a staircase appeared leading to the basement.

 

The stairs with torches in the middle were so deep that the end could not be seen.

 

“Just keep going down here.
Have a good time then!”

 

The man bowed his head politely and closed the door.

 

“They didn’t check our faces.”

 

I think I’ve come down about 20 stairs, Yurgen opened his mouth in a low voice.

 

No wonder the man did not do anything other than check the black card.

 

“Because the card is engraved with magic.
It’s impossible to manipulate it because it’s engraved with a different phrase every time, and others can’t even see the words engraved with magic other than that ring.”

 

“Where did you get this invitation?”

 

“That? Of course it’s fake.
I made it.”

 

“…What? Didn’t you just say it was impossible to make it?”

 

“I can.
So, don’t worry about getting caught, just worry about holding back your anger.”

 

How many more steps did we go down after that? We finally opened the door at the end of the stairs when we arrived and went inside.

 

An underground space deep enough to hide the sound of the ground.

 

The shallowly decorated stage and audience seats appeared.

 

“This way, please,”

It was a man in a neat waiter’s uniform that guided us.

 

“Here shake this bell when you need anything.
Have a good time then.”

 

The employee left with a brief explanation of this place.

 

And after a while, the light was concentrated in one place with the sound of fireworks exploding.

 

As I followed the light, I saw a man floating in the air at an eye level similar to the seat of the audience.

 

The man, whose face was covered with a mask, spread his arms in an exaggerated motion.

 

“Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the last day of the year!”

 

As soon as those words were finished, cheers erupted from the audience.

 

“Please make it hot today, too!”

 

“Hey! When was the last time you were disappointed in our shop? As always, I hope you enjoy it today!”

 

People in the audience burst into laughter at the host’s witty answer, who covered his face with a mask.

 

The approximately one hundred spectators, like the host, each covered their faces with masks.

 

Their attire was all luxurious.
At a glance, it looks like they have a lot of money and status.

 

An appearance that could never be seen by ordinary people.

 

There’s only one reason why such people covered their faces here, a place which was not even a masquerade ball.

 

“Let’s start the fighting competition!”

 

  

It’s a difficult place to reveal your identity.
It was no different from a criminal covering his face and committing a crime.

 

As soon as the host finished his speech, the light that had lit the stage with a superficial light faded away.

 

Growl~

 

Shortly thereafter, we heard the sound of something… It was like that of a hungry beast.

 

I could hear people whispering to each other, and immediately a bright light lit the stage.

 

“Haha! It’s already hot from the start of today!”

 

Starting with a person’s voice, cheers and giggles erupted among the crowd.

 

On the lit stage, a wolf as big as an adult man was running wild, shackled.

His eyes and drooling muzzle, half out of focus, indicated that the wolf was now very hungry.

 

He must have starved for a long time, not just a day or two, but he was distracted by hunger.

 

“We also went through a lot to catch this vicious guy.
Isn’t it time to open today’s gun gate?”

 

The audience sympathized with the host’s words coming from somewhere.

 

“Then there’s a predator, so it’s fun to have a warrior to deal with it.”

 

With a thud, the light shone on the stage opposite the wolf.

 

A man with a shaky silhouette stood there, his face hidden in a sack and his body trembling.

 

It’s probably because you can still hear this bloody sound even when your eyes are covered.

 

After a while, the sack covering his face was removed.

 

“…Crazy.”

 

And I couldn’t help but swear at the exposed face.
A head with triangular animal ears and a rump with a tail.

 

The identity of the person revealed in the sack was a cat beast.

 

A shapeshifter cat looking around, looked at the wolf growling from the opposite side and began to tremble.

 

Even a beast with better physical condition than a human could do nothing against a big wolf.

 

The scene that followed was one-sided.
I turned my head not to try, but I couldn’t stop the sound.

 

“…Disgusting bastards.”

 

I was complaining softly in a cursing manner.

 

Today alone, a feeling of helplessness that I felt several times came again.

 

They don’t know how disgusting it was to see people gathered here to see these scenes.

 

If even one of them was thrown into that situation, would anyone else be able to smile like now?

 

“Oh no, you can’t kill him.”

 

When the host made a light snap, the shackles around the wolf’s neck became swollen and pulled him with strong force.

 

The wolf struggled and resisted, but the wolf soon disappeared into the wall of the open stage.

 

The host only ordered the fainting beast to move inside as if carrying a bag, and then announced the next move with a cheerful voice.
