"You crazy bastard. Let go of my hand!" he started to shout.

Everyone's eyes in the market were on us right now.

'No, the situation looked like Mr. Jamson was the one who bullied him.'

"Uncle, are you going to hit me because I told you not to say our food is bad?"

She shouted loud enough for everyone to hear.

'Sniff, sniff. Do you know how hard my dad works for those siblings to grow?'

"Sibling?"

"Tomatoes, cucumbers, broccoli all those foods were taken care of as much as me."

"He loves them as much as he loves me. So, basically, we are siblings who grew up with the same love."

The spotlight of the market was on her right now.

'Bravo, Lili. You are a good actor.'

"I even miss him whenever he goes to work, but I know he is doing it for me. For me to grow well, for me to live a princess's life in the slums."

"And here's you calling our food bad." 'Sniff, sniff.'

Everyone in this small village knew how much Jamson loved his daughter.

Although she wasn't his real daughter, he took good care of her.

In these two years, he celebrated her birthday like a national day. Every time, he just barked about how adorable his daughter was.

She was like a precious heirloom to him.

And seeing the same love for her father, the crowd couldn't hold back their tears.

"Oh my, Lili is so adorable."

"They are the best."

"I've got tears in my eyes seeing their love for each other."

"Hey, you! How dare you call our Lili's siblings bad?"

"You are trying to spread bad rumors, huh?"

The man got scared and started to step back.

"N-no, I d-didn't mean to."

"Then what are you trying to do?"

"I-I'm..."

He couldn't finish his words and started to run away from the angry crowd.

'Another example of stupid people.'

Lili looked at Jamson, who hadn't said a single word since earlier.

He had a blank expression on his face.

'What's with that face?'

'Don't tell me...'

"Mr. Ja... Kyahh..."

"My daughter, my daughter. She called me her father for the first time."

'I knew it.'

His blank expression was the hint of his madness.

He started showering her with kisses.

"Food, food. We have to sell the food."

"No, how could we sell our bunny's siblings?"

"Stop teasing me. Let's sell them."

"~Haha~"

"Okay, my love."

*****

"Grandma Anne's house."

Today, Grandma Anne's grandson was going to join the academy.

[Aurelia Imperial Academy]

It's an academy made by the imperial family for talented young people who can use any type of magic and are good at swordsmanship.

"Darien Ironhart."

A great swordsmith master and a commoner knight.

And now, the grandson of Grandma Anne.

Although commoners don't have any titles, he got one after becoming the Knight Commander.

"Lili."

He held my hand.

"Don't be sad if I go. I will be back soon as a knight and will protect you."

"O-okay." My cheeks burned for no reason.

"Knight, huh!"

Mr. Jamson said from behind with a smile. Well, if you could call that thing a smile.

"I see where this is going."

'No, Mr. What are you thinking?'

"Then I will be off now. It's getting late."

"Please take care of your health, my son."

"Yes, Grandma."

They hugged each other and spent a quite emotional moment before he left.

"I'm quite scared. What if something happens to him? He is the only one I have."

"Don't worry, Grandma. He will become the strongest knight ever."

"Oh, my little girl."

"Hmm! Let's go, Bunny. We have to prepare for the festival."

"~Yes~"

"See you at the festival, Grandma."
