Surviving As The Protagonist

Chapter 7: Hidden Treasures

Recalling his promise, he now carried a map of the County fief in his hand. He seemed to have to tell this matter secretly before leaving the Count's residence tomorrow morning. He felt guilty for having troubled his father for one year, so he who was armed with the future is now trying to find a way out of the financial bankruptcy of the Father.

You are much different when compared to my father who lived just to gamble and drink every day.

“My biggest regret first was that I voluntarily tortured myself to work rods just to support a father who even abandoned his daughter.” he said accompanied by hurt feelings.

When looking at the family side of Lucy in the novel, their family is really complicated because of the lack of communication. The father actually never hated his daughter, he always tried with all his might so that Lucy could grow up happy even without a Mother beside him. But the father who never came home made Lucy completely misunderstand about him.

“So the real Lucy just always thought that her father had never cared about her news.” he said as he stared at the window in a long hallway. Right now he's trying to go see his father in his study.

The father's fear was for his two Daughters to leave the house as his mother, Rosella Barayev, did. So that all he can do is work and work to fulfill all the wishes of his beloved Princess, which in the end the Father never has free time for his two Daughters.

“Say Lucy also has an older sister who is gone, but I never saw her painting on display in this house.” he said while staring at some of his home furniture.

Until Lucy came to the front door of her father's office. After knocking on the door slowly, he entered the room and gave a respectful greeting in front of his father's desk.

“Good day Dad, are you busy?” tanyanya who felt afraid if his arrival even disrupted her routine.

Harisson stared at the source of the voice and then put the hairy pen in his place, shaking his head as he said “No, what's the matter?” the middle-aged man asked with a confused look.

“Ee.. Have you heard the commotion last night?” asked Lucy with a clumsy face.

“Iya. Did you guys have a big fight?” ask Harisson who is really worried about the condition of his daughter.

“It seems so.. hehe.” he said accompanied by forced laughter. Harisson just shook his head in a sign that he really did not understand the behavior of his daughter lately.

“Say you insist that this engagement be cancelled, what is Lucy? Don't you like that kid anymore? Tell me son.” asked Harrison with a confused expression. Lucy just put her shoulder out.

“This is because of his attitude that never changes.it makes me tired Dad. but it is too late to discuss this, there is something I want to say about the diamond mining owned by father.” kilahnya which is now centered on a map of the County on the table.

After the map was unfolded, Lucy began to tell something that might help improve the father's finances so as to avoid bankruptcy. The father's face was only confused. Not as usual, since when my daughter is interested in the mining business. All I know lately is he's just a spender who likes to spend money..

“This is Dad's mining map, right? Now to the east, right next to the largest and oldest tree. There is a hole with the size of a hand that is rumored by people that the hole is a place to live where snake monsters nest.” explained Lucy who quite takes a long time, Lucy, do not forget the movement of his finger pointing towards the east.

“Lantas?” the middle-aged man asked with a confused look.

“The name is a rumor yes just a rumor father~ I hope, Dad can soon find the place, because behind the small hole rumored where the monster nesting place, in fact buried a lot of Cullinan Diamond in it. I hope with this will help dad in pioneering the business from the beginning again!” obviously the girl with full enthusiasm.

But the face of the father still showed his disbelief.. “So son, do you know where this is from?” Harisson seemed confused as to what kind of reaction.

But the girl just smiled while scratching her hair that did not itch, with a smile she just turned her face in the other direction, “Sa—I get a dream from the future hehe~ what I am less convincing ya ha—ha” stutters it with cold sweat that begins to drip on his forehead.

“Um.. ffuf. Alright son, I will send a knight army to check it there later.” said the man soft-pitched, not to forget with his hand that rubbed the top of Lucy's head a sign that the Father had praised his daughter warmly.

Feeling that soft feeling made Lucy just a small smile, her hands warm. Apparently he loved his daughter even more than I thought. than my life used to be. Let alone expect affection, for me just surviving is difficult.

He looked down on his face with a glum look, if remembered again.The mass he lived as Raflesa was really bad. Although it would actually make no difference if I came back to life as a character Lucy who died at this young age..

“Pardon Father nak.” Harisson said suddenly. Suddenly the girl covered her face with a shocked look.

“Eh?” he seemed surprised by his sudden apology. But after being noticed, the gaze that his father gave right now was simply filled with guilt.

Broadly speaking, the girl did not understand with all the intentions of her words. But one of the knots he can pull and he means that Harisson could not support Lucy's relationship with Reygan, because there is his oldest brother..

Meanin?

Ah. apparently now I am engaged also because to replace the brother who has died. It turns out that Dad from childhood knew that Lucy really liked Reygan.

The atmosphere suddenly turned silent, but to melt this atmosphere Lucy just put on the most beautiful smile like spring.

“Dad doesn't need to think about it, yesterday I just had a fight with His Majesty. Soon we will make up again too! Then before that, Dad should just think about your own health condition, I hope you will recover as soon as possible.” comfort the child who does not want to make his father worried.

His condition has been declining since last month. Lucy was only worried that her father's condition would get worse. Although his heart was slightly slashed, when he found out that the Father agreed to this engagement because his daughter loved the Crown Prince very much.

Previously he had thought evil that the father intended to sell his daughter to the kingdom for the sake of position, power, and wealth. But his heart now regretted having been narrow-minded to such an extent.

“Thanks Lucy.”

The whisper of a melodious person now smashed gently in his ear, it was the whisper of a woman with her soft voice. If you look back and forth, there's no one in this room but the two of them. His heart suddenly felt tight..

Is that you.. Lucy's? Are you grateful that I helped your father..

I thought a few times there was no answer. He just thought, could it be that the real Lucy is trying to contact him? Dad also looked calm, meaning only I could hear his voice..

“Then allow me to return Father.” say hello to him with a respectful greeting, then the girl with the golden mane turned around and left her room.

Suddenly he thought of the contents of the novel that tells about the side story of Lucy's death, after his daughter died horribly. The father fell ill with a bankrupt mine. The land was also sold to the royal family for the sake of financing expensive treatment.

Ha... who would have thought that because of the Crown Prince's fad about the snake monster nest instead found something unexpected? Well this is how it is to know the future~ even though I have to apologize. I like stealing your treasure in the future hehe~ Crown Prince damn.

Believe it or not, far in the future that the one who found the Diamond was the Crown Prince, he knew because he had read the Novel to the end.

This is also shocking news for Harisson, because from the beginning the Princess was never interested in mining. He did not know the truth that his daughter said earlier, so he still thinks hard about her at this time.

“But it never hurts to send someone there, because if this is found by a person from the kingdom, then it will be really serious.” murmured really seriously.

Because, the royal family has long been eyeing his mines. Perhaps one of the strategies of this engagement was also to monopolize his mining. Because they're really petty. There is no harm in placing suspicion on those who are like that.

But the surprising fact is that the eastern region was never touched, it was just an unkempt wilderness because it was confused as to what kind of business, especially the terrible rumors about the monster re-creation there. And the one who started this rumor was the owner of the former county seat.

Actually was.. “Whose daughter is this? She is golden blonde.Unlike me or Rosella.she also has great magic power and can even predict the future.” thought she was really strange.

The reason Rosella left her was because Harisson did not believe that Lucy was her biological daughter, as she was truly the most conspicuous child among her family. But since the departure of his wife who is out of nowhere, he still loves Lucy like her own Princess Bladder. However her brown eyes were really exactly like her.

After the Countess left, all that was left to her was regret for not trusting her own wife.

“Whatever happens, never forgive your stupid father, Lucy.
