I Played the Role of the Adopted Daughter Too Well

Chapter 45



Is your mission to kill the storm sword, Sir Jackal?

This mission, summarized by the mission name Eye of the Storm, was one of Han Ah-Rins top five worst choices. Viola was also aware of the latest news trends.

Jackal has published a column in the newsletter several times.

[ The preferential treatment for the winter castle must be eradicated. ]

[ I respect the warriors of the Winter Castle, but this policy is wrong. ]

[ Duke Veratoux is going down the wrong path to satisfy his self-interest. ]

The reason is that the Golden Road, a trade road connecting the winter castle from the central continents monarch, was announced on a large scale. In the process, the Youngest Princess of Veratoux earned whopping billions of dahlias.

Therefore, Jackals argument was clearly plausible.

[ At the time, Veratouxs youngest princess was only seven years old. ]

[ The people speculated with two hundred million dahlias, are hard to even touch in their lifetime. ]

[ This is an illegal transaction using a borrowed name. ]

The contents of the newsletter have left many people feeling deprived and lost.

In addition, public opinion was formed that Duke Veratoux was greedy for self-interest and acquired his fortune in an illegal and wrong way.

Viola sighed.

Its different from the original, but its similar.

In the original, Jackal argues for other reasons. It must also be three more years from now.

Its faster than the original, and the content has changed. But its the same with biting the Duke.

Although the details have changed, the big flow has not changed. The authors setting does not seem to have changed in any way.

Thats right. Do you know about the recent continental trend?

I know.

So, I was ordered to kill Jackal.

Then, father will be pointed out as the culprit?

Does that matter?

Medea tilted her head.

For a moment, Viola quickly nodded her head.

Of course, it doesnt matter.

Whatever.

As long as they dont have physical evidence It was clear that Medea was thinking.

Although older sister is benevolent and warm-hearted I forgot she was Verratoux.

One thing is important here.

There should be no evidence for sure.

At that moment, Viola recalled the essence and attributes of this world that had been forgotten for a while.

Okay. Lets not forget this is the world of Shadow of Veratoux

Viola lay on her bed alone, organizing her thoughts.

I didnt know this case is going to come so soon.

She thought about Jackal.

In the novel, Jackal was represented as the proud head of the Storm Fortress. If the winter castle is the northern shield that protects mankind from where it snows, the Storm Fortress was a defensive fortress that protects the Empire from the canyon of barbarism.

He was famous for having a strong-willed personality that could not be broken.

On one occasion, a high-ranking official of the Empire came and bribed for his son to join the Storm Fortress.

[ I do not accept illegal solicitations and bribes. ]

[ Are you ignoring my sincerity? ]

[ Im not ignoring it, Im just following the rules and principles. If you repeat the same thing one more time, Ill count it as trampling on the pride of the Storm Fortress and me. ]

[ Are, are you threatening me? ]

[ Its a warning, not a threat. Go back. ]

There was a narrative that If it were not for Selina, instead of the Empire, Jackal would be at a great disadvantage.

In any case, Jackal was expressed as a person who never tolerates injustice, has extreme contempt for violations of principles, and always disciplines and devotes himself.

Only once. The time to give up his life beliefs is probably now.

If the main flow of the novel is the same, now Jackal is not writing a column of his own will.

External forces intervened.

No one knows at this point. However, Han Ah-Rin, who was a reader, knows it well.

The next morning, the sun was bright. The sky was very high today, and the sunlight was golden with abundance.

Viola visited the annex.

Uncle.

Yes, why?

Hickson was meditating.

Without opening his eyes, he continued to concentrate on the meditation.

Are you friendly with Sir Jackal?

Yes.

Hickson slowly opened his eyes and asked.

Why? Killing Jackal?

Will you give me such a task?

Anyway, this was a top-secret mission. At least, the fact that there was a mission to kill Jackal had to be hidden unconditionally.

Even if the other person was Hickson.

The opponent is Sir Jackal. Storm Swordsman. How can a child like me kill Sir Jackal?

He gazed at Viola as he crossed his legs. Hickson, who had become a completely different person from three years ago, looked at the girl in front of him for a long time.

I think you have something to say.

Ive been studying hard about Sir Jackal.

However?

I dont think hes the one to frame or persecute Winter Castle by writing a column in the newsletter. Hes not very interested in continental affairs or politics.

I dont know what that is. He has a very eccentric personality.

Viola opened the newsletter she was holding in her right hand. There was also a photo of Jackal, along with a column he contributed.

Just, when I saw this picture, I thought of uncle.

Because Im much more handsome?

Do you really think so?

Of course.

I heard that a warrior should know himself. I think you are not. Your objectivity is too low.

Are you really going to say that?

Hickson made an exaggerated gesture and covered his eyes.

Im sad.

Even though it seemed like he was joking, Hickson was actually sad. Normally, he wasnt hurt by anything anyone said, but Viola was different. For him, she was the daughter in his heart.

It felt like an ugly father being pointed out by his daughter.

Anyway, if I were Sir Jackal, I dont think I would have written a column like this.

Then?

I think I would have formally protested by leading a storm squad to Winter Castle. And, I must have tried to figure out the truth by confronting me, the Princess.

Hickson thought of Jackal.

Well. Definitely him

This method was not Jackal.

It was Jackals method to directly question the party at fault.

This is not a protest against the hops, its like agitating public opinion.

Hmm.

And, I think Sir Jackal knows father very well.

Yes. Because they were colleagues who once had each others backs and fought together many times. Although they didnt like each other.

Does Sir Jackal think father was trying to get an illegal advantage because of only two billion dahlias?

Only two billion.

Hickson chuckled and laughed.

Most ordinary people couldnt even touch one hundred million dahlias. So, two billion dahlias was definitely a lot of money.

However, Violas words were not wrong either.

Its Veratoux.

She was a Veratoux, the daughter of the most powerful Duke in the Empire.

Veratoux trembling at two hundred billion dahlias was strange. Rather, expressing only two hundred billion was much more Verratoux.

Do you think Sir Jackal would have thought so?

No. I dont think so.

Its weird.

Viola touched the photo in the newsletter with her index finger.

Looking at this picture, I said that it reminded me of uncle, right?

Huh.

Didnt you say that Sir Jackal also has a young son?

At that, Hicksons expression immediately hardened.

Medea did no tricks.

She even sent an official letter saying that she would visit Storm Fortress.

The official message transmitted by magic was approved within one day, and a visiting group was organized, led by the First Princess, Medea.

Viola stared in the mirror and fell into thoughts.

Veratoux that officially visits and kills

Princess Medea was coming. Even the storm sword Jackal couldnt be ignorant of Veratouxs intentions.

Jackal who welcomes it even though he knows it all.

A sword that would stab him, and a shield to block it outright. It will be a battle between the two. It was like that in the original.

I have to stop it.

As a result of this incident, Jackal became affiliated with the Falail family.

The Falail family was a family that later grew rapidly. Led by one of the major supporting characters, Jeremy, who was also known as the Little Storm, the Falail family grew to a great extent and became a great enemy of the Duchy of Verratoux.

The female protagonist, Viola, also nearly died several times.

Even the First Princess, Medea, almost died as well.

Either way, he was a very dangerous enemy.

It had to be stopped

I cant let it ruin my rosy future!

Knock, knock.

With a knock, Xenon entered the room. Viola could see his figure in the mirror.

Xenon chuckled.

It is my responsibility to train the Princess.

I know. But, Xenon has restrictions on his actions. Hes wanted by the Empire.

Viola, along with the butler Xenon, named Tundra as the official attendant.

Xenon didnt seem to like it.

Viola turned her body to meet his eyes. Although Xenon was still smiling, he looked somehow uncomfortable.

Storm Fortress is different from Winter Castle. Much closer to the heart of the Empire.

It was Xenon who killed more than twenty second-class knights of the Empire. Hence, he was also a body wanted by the Empire. So, for this accompaniment, we needed the help of the masked and disguised Seiban.

Even with the help of Lord Sevban, its not perfect.

.

It doesnt matter to me what kind of trouble you cause.

She spit out sounds that he didnt want to hear.

He got used to it a lot in three years.

If you do something wrong and tarnish my face. If there are restrictions on actions, I will ask for that sin and behead you.

Im not afraid of being decapitated, Princess.

Ah. Of course, you dont.

It was Xenon, who once said, Would you like me to cut off my head? She remembered being horrified because it was sincere.

Im afraid.

..Yes?

Xenons eyes trembled very slightly.

A Veratoux more Veratoux than anyone else. The light purple eyes of the iron-blooded princess were captured in Xenons eyes.

I dont want to lose my capable butler, so follow my orders.

.

Hearing that, Xenon stood silently for a long time, then placed his right hand on his left chest.

He nodded and answered.

I will obey the Princesss orders.

The next day, three carriages departed from Winter Castle.

The destination was south of Winter Castle. It was the storm fortress located between the canyon of barbarism.

Even after moving through the mobile gate, they still had to travel for a long time.

In the carriage, Viola stared out the window.

This continent is wide.

In fact, she had no idea how wide it was. She just felt vaguely that it was very spacious.

And, a week later.

Veratouxs delegation, led by Medea, arrived at the Storm Fortress.

The road was narrow and rough, barely able for a carriage to passa huge fortress located between the canyon of barbarism. A golden lions flag fluttered in front of it, symbolizing the Duke of Veratoux.

Boo, woo!

The sound of the horn was heard, and the massive iron gate began to slide open.

Welcome. First Princess Medea, and the Sixth Princess Viola.

From the iron gate, someone in heavy armor walked out alone.

Head of Storm Fortress, the storm sword Jackal

A long sword was held in Jackals hand, and a blue light stood out. That momentum was sharp.

Medea smiled and took out a huge sword from the subspace.

Long time no see, Sir Jackal.

The momentum of the two collided in the air, and a vortex began to form around them.

Viola swallowed inwardly.

What kind of rapid development is this!

It looked as if they were going for the sword at first.

My body is going to shatter just by rubbing against the momentum.

Now, the absolutes of this world met.

Even the slightest mistake can lead to death.

I, myself, I have to do well.

She has been good for the past three years.

Viola decided to do better today.
