Chapter 106.2

those red eyes, not the blue eyes like my dad’s, made my body freeze for a moment. it’s harris, but it didn’t feel like harris.

“to be honest, the first time i saw her, i knew she was real, so i was mad. she looked just like that damn alphius guy… and i hate it! i wanted to kick her out! i mean, as long as you loved me. i hope so, i hope so!”

“no way… you knew it from the beginning?”

“…i don’t know. i won’t let you go. i-i’ll do whatever i can to get rid of that thing that took my place. i’ll make you regret it!”

after saying those words, harris ran away without giving a chance to catch her. even my father, who was looking at her, just muttered.

“harris!”

my father’s angry voice rang out in the hallway, but harris already disappeared. surprised by the loud voice, the knights rushed out a bit late.

“what’s the matter, your highness?”

“get her back.”

“what?”

“right now.”

the murmuring knights followed harris a step later, and my father’s expression became stiffer than before. worried, i stroked my dad’s cheek gently.

“daddy.”

“i’m sorry i surprised you. shall we talk about something else?”

“i’m fine.”

“huh…?”

i smiled widely at my father, who was walking strangely.

“it’s okay. you can go find her if you want. you don’t have to worry about me.”

“bebe.”

“daddy must be curious. you need to go to harris to solve this, so go ahead. i’m almost there, so i can go alone!”

even though i said that, my dad didn’t easily put me down, so i struggled myself out of his arms.

“it’s true. let’s go find her.”

“no, that’s for later…”

“no, you can’t do it later. you want to go find her now too, so go ahead.”

even at my words, dad hesitated without going for a long time. i came down to the floor and pushed my father’s back. after thinking about it for a long time, he finally nodded his head.

“then… go to your room. you just have to go straight ahead and everything will be fine… i think?”

“yeah! don’t worry, don’t worry.”

“if i knew this would happen, i should have brought cecilia out, or even theo…”

“it’s really okay. i’m just going to miss it.”

after that, dad tried not to go into a hostile manner several times, but after fussing, he eventually ran in the direction where harris disappeared.

in fact, i was worried about my dad, but what i was curious about more than anything else was how in the world harris knew and how she found out.

‘who the hell is harris?’

at first, i thought she was just a daughter. next, i thought she was the child who wanted to be the daughter of the grand duke, aiming for the position. now that i see it, i don’t think it is.

on the way back to my room, i felt a little strange.

‘harris… did she come in knowing everything? i think she already knew about my twin brother…’

that’s why she hated me so much.

now i understood little by little all the actions harris had shown.

she hated me so much when she first saw me.

meanwhile, i arrived at the front of the room. however, a strange head popped out of the door.

“yes?”

“oh!”

as soon as i saw the head, it slipped inside, as if surprised. if he were going to look outside, he might as well be confident. he darted back into the room as if he was doing something suspicious.

then i saw allen drinking tea leisurely with my mother.

“you’re here, bebe.”

“it’s late, brother.”

i sat down on the seat between my mother and brother, who were talking to each other.

“yes, it’s been a while. brother, didn’t you just come out?”

at those words, my colt-like brother shook his shoulders as if he didn’t. it was kind of funny how it looked. i’m sure our eyes met, but he pretended not to know.

on the contrary, he proudly opened his mouth.

“no, i didn’t. i was sitting here, protecting my mom. i didn’t stick my head out because i was curious about you.”

“oh, i see.”

“well, what do you say? i’m kind of cool, right? it’s what you wanted. there’s no brother in the world like me. i think i’m a wonderful brother.”

“yes, you’re cool. you’re good at lying.

“yes, i’m good at lying… huh?”
