Chapter two: Father read me a Fairy tale

Opening my eyes I met with a cold feeling. It was raining but I was not getting wet, I looked up seeing a woman in black clothing holding an umbrella over me. She gave me a sad smile when she noticed me. For the woman to be that tall and me feeling small means that now I am a child, just like how that game started, 'fuck.'

["The game starts with the main character being five and her mother's death. After four years of 'The Red War' the duke comes home to find his lover died a few days ago. it's it cool?!"

"The dude's lover is dead, how is that cool?"

"yeah it's sad but, the way that the game starts with a cold breeze is so cool!"

"Look you little shit, You told me this five times already, it's six in the morning and you already ruined the day for me."]

'ah, for the times my sister babble about the game will be useful. I never thought that I will think that.'

I heard the people around the grave cry as I did nothing. 'if it was my mother I would be crying...' even if I did not know this person I still felt sad. I pecked around feeling awkward by all the crying, even the woman holding the umbrella for me was sobbing.

Something cough my eyes. Looks like I wasent the only one that wasent crying, a tall man with an deep scar across his left eye, holding an umbrella with luxurious clothing like mine was staring at the grave. 'so that's the duke...'

["A hero from the war that was gifted metals and metals for his hard work at the war returned to his home after four years to find his loving wife dead, the whole kingdom was celebrating while the duke's palace wasent. it wasn't an victory to him."]

The more I look at him the more I pitied him, standing there alone with his lapis colored eyes making holes on the grave and god dame it he was going to break that poor umbrella hes holding. 'He was holding it all back, his anger and sadness that was easy to read.'

"y-young master! you'll get a cold-!"The woman called out for me but stopped realizing were I was going, I walked to the duke.

'hes not my real father, that bastard left my mother but he is the father of this body...'

He looked at me as I went under his umbrella, I held his big cold hand that was bandaged with my small one, gently not wanting hurt his hand even if I know it wont.

"...." he said nothing as I also didn't.

looks like I will be here for thirteenth years, unlike in the dame game there are time skips which I wanted to happen but it doesn't look like that is happening.

["After the sad funeral there is a year time skip where the main character meets one of the male lead named-"]

will, at lest I have a year to be ready to meet one of the bastards. but to than I have to get strong, form what my sister said to me that the MC becomes a Saintess, her mother was one before marrying the duke and she wanted to be like her. she became a powerful one too, who helps the male leads. so I wont become one, I'll become a knight or just be good with a sword to protect myself.

[ "The female lead has silver hair with pinch black eyes that have white stars planted in them~ in the world that shit is so rare! silver hair and eyes like that is even more rare! ahh shes so pretty look at her fanart mike! come on look!!"]

Just by how I look I can't be a mob character, so I will be some side character. I mean I am still a guy so that might not even happen.

"hahahaha!" I laughed at the god who sent me here. 'that fool, forgetting the most important thing!'

The maid watching over him looked worried as he laughed out of no where.

'but still I need to get ready for it, even if i am still a guy there are many danger in my way that aren't just the male leads'

"here young master, the book you wanted to read. would you like me to read it for you~?" she was baby talking to me as I am a child, this body is but I am nineteenth in the inside. I controlled by face to not make a face as I gave her a innocent smile.

"no thank you, I want my father to read it for me~" I swallowed my pride saying that. 'so fucking embarrassing agh'

The "child's" words made the maids mummer "so cute!" as she let him ran to his "fathers" office.

*knock knock*

'this body can't reach the handle, dame it.'

"come in" 'open the dame door'

*knock knock*

....

Then finally the door was opened by the tall man, he didn't say anything he just stares at me not knowing what to do.

"father could you read this book for me?"

"Yes"

'how fast'

I walked inside the room seeing a fancy red couch infront of the duke's desk, when I got closer I realized my small height to site down on the couch. 'I am still not used to this dame body after a week being in it still, as someone who was 5'11(almost 6'0) in my life its way different then this..is this how Lily feels?'

I was then picked up by "my" father as he looked at me before putting me down on the couch as he sit next to me and starting to read the fairy tale.

'I'm only doing this to get on his good side, if I don't talk to him he will become a cold man. he already is, after his heart was turn to ice because his lover's death. The MC stayed by her father side and lived a happy childhood and if I want to have that I have to melt his heart like she did. that is the only thing that I want to do same as the MC tight now.'

knock knock

"Master duke, sir Richard and lady Amber are here to visit you" 'who?'

"tell them to visit me another time, I am busy right now" the duke's voice turned cooled. 'what a breeze'

The door was then opened with an uneasy looking butler, a pretty woman wearing fancy dress with a old looking man that had too many rings in his fingers.

"sir Richard, lady Amber you can not welcome yourself in as the duke is busy-"

"How dare you speak to me like that! I tolled you I have serious business with the duke!" the old man gambled at the poor butler who was just trying to do his job. the woman said nothing as they both walked inside.

"sir-"

"..your dismissed Alex, it's alright I will have a word with these two."

the butler bowed closing the door, the two sit down on the couch front of us.

'so there that type of characters'

"now, tell me what is so this 'serious business?' your already wasting my time with my son"
