The Troublemaker Daughter of the Grand Duke Wants To Live Alone

Chapter 90

"But will you be okay?"

With a worried expression, Aiden questioned. Oh no, his overprotectiveness has resumed. I don't believe he will permit us to travel very far because it is risky; but no one can stop me now.

As I reached for the spoon and put custard pudding in my mouth, Aiden laughed.

"Yes, I get it,"

You should, of course. I satisfactorily took the spoon out of my mouth. The idea of a picnic has me giddy with anticipation.

"You'd probably hit me if I told you not to go."

"Aiden, I'd be happy to give you one hit."

Gilbert responded to Aiden while shaking his head. Yes, try to convince me to change my mind after you've made me eager for it. It won't end with a single blow.

"I've got your permission!"

Soon after, Lucas ran with a smile on his face after getting Bonita's approval.

"Bonita said it was a very good idea and that it would be a change of pace,"

The person who I believe cares about me the most is Bonita. The image of Grand Estin's face then abruptly entered my mind. I started to wonder a little where he was. He's obviously busy, but.......

"What about the Grand Duke?"

"Oh, Hestia and the Grand Duke went to the forest today—no somewhere."

I could tell despite Lucas' quick gloss. He went to see the burned-out forest where I was kidnapped at the time. Yes, he said he'd build a temporary shelter for migrants over there. I was pletely disinterested in the incident, so I just nodded and pretended I was unaware of it.

"But Mary."

"Yes?"

Gilbert called me after hearing what I was saying.

"Why do you still refer to our father as Grand Duke Estin?"

At that unexpected point, I opened my eyes wide. Because he is Grand Duke Estin, I refer to him as such. No, is that really a big deal right now? Gilbert looked much more serious than I initially thought. Lucas blinked his eyes closed and nodded next to him.

"That's right."

"Isn't it time to call him father?"

"Correct."

Lucas, who said such a thing next to Gilbert, was even more annoying than Gilbert. But I was speechless. I can't call my father my father because I'm a descendant of Hong Gil-dong.

Yes, sister. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to refer to him as father than Grand Duke?"

I was in agony for a moment because even Rex came out like that, possibly because I've been calling him Grand Duke Estin for too long. I suddenly remembered what Grand Duke Estin said to me yesterday, that I only call him dad at times like that.

It wasn't intentional, but did it feel like I only called Grand Duke Estin Dad when I felt weak? It wasn't intentional, but did it feel like something was intended?

"It's good to practice continuously even if it's hard."

"......I'll try."

"If you don't promise, we won't go on a picnic."

While I was deep in thought, Gilbert spoke firmly. You're discussing a promise while pawning a picnic; aren't you being cheap? Don't you recall that you said it would be nice if Aiden took one hit earlier?

I made a pouty face. No, I'll do it even if you don't tell me. I can, but I must admit that it was a little awkward. It's not that I don't think of Grand Estin as my father; it's just that......The word "father" itself didn't e to me easily and naturally.
