Chapter 3

THE INVINCIBLE PRINCESS Part 2

“I hate you, Dad!”

“I can’t, Your Majesty.”

“Peony, call me father, or dad, as usual.”

As a sign of resistance, I closed my lips tightly and shook my head.

“Haa······.”

A sigh poured out of my father’s mouth.

I sneaked a glance at him.

My father softly closed his eyes and fell into agony.

“Do you like that man that much?”

“Yes!”

I nodded vigorously. My father sighed again as he looked at me.

“You want to leave this father and your brothers and leave for that cold country?”

“I·····.”

I bit my lips.

My father and brothers treated me kindly and loved me so much since I transmigrated.

They treated me as if I am the most precious person in the whole wide world.

I was sorry at first because I felt like I was cheating them, and I wondered if I should reveal that I wasn’t really Peony.

However, who would believe that this is a world inside a novel, or that I possessed the body of a novel character princess named Peony?

The most important thing is, to tell them that Peony’s soul is already dead······ I couldn’t bear to do it to them.

“I love my brothers and father.”

To him who regarded me as her real daughter and gave me great affection, it was not easy to say that I wanted to leave.

I wish my father could understand my heart.

“You are my most precious family in the world. If I were to be born again in my next life, I would love to be born as your daughter again.”

Though my life right now is almost the same as being born again, if I will have the chance to reincarnate, I will choose him as my father again. Because I loved being his daughter.

I took out my hand from the blanket and grabbed his hand.

Father’s hands were warm.

“My love for the Grand Duke of Stern is different from these things. That person······ the thing is······ I like him as a man.”

My cheeks slightly turned red.

That’s the real reason why I wanted to go to him. It was my heart that’s urging me.

Abandoned, alone in the cold and harsh north, I felt sorry for him.

I just wanted to see his face, and give him what he needed.

And if possible, I wanted to be with him. Beside him all the time.

“I’m not saying I’m going to abandon my father and my brothers, then marry Grand Duke Stern. Even if I get married or go far away, I love my father the same way.”

I looked at my father with a mournful heart.

My figure was reflected in the same blue eyes as mine for a long time.

A long sigh, similar to the one before, flowed out of his mouth.

“All right. I lost. I give up.”

I opened my eyes wide at the king’s declaration of surrender.

“I allow the Princess of Garten, Peony de Garten, to marry Fairspren Empire’s Grand Duke Richt de Stern.”

“Da, dad!”

His words made me so happy that I covered my mouth with my hands.

Since I think that shouts for joy would burst any minute now.

Still, at this moment, I knew it was an atmosphere that I shouldn’t be like, screaming and jumping around the bed.

“Are you that happy?”

My father looked at me and smiled as if he was a little lonely.

I smiled brightly, and nodded.

Hooray! I got approval!

I’m getting married to my favorite character!
