The Troublemaker Daughter of the Grand Duke Wants To Live Alone

Chapter 99

"Ouch."

"Is your finger still hurting?"

"Yeah, it keeps hurting."

After hearing that my fourth finger was hurting, Carol came over to me wearing a worried expression. I was perplexed because my fourth finger has been throbbing ever since, but there was nothing wrong with it from the outside. Carol took my hand in hers and fiddled with it carefully.

The friendly touch made me regret expressing my pain. Oh, I should have suppressed it.

"Oh, it's all right now."

"Miss, you don't have to act like everything is fine."

"No, take a look at this; I can easily bend it."

Carol wouldn't know if I didn't show signs of pain because there was no visible injury. I bent and unfolded my ring finger in front of Carol several times while smiling brightly. I didn't want Carol to worry.

I didn't want to worry people who had been fretting about me enough since my birthday.

Grand Duke Estin will quickly send Laminaicho if they learn that my finger hurts. I took two, one for myself after getting bitten by a bug, and one for Demimore. I shouldn't be receiving three of those priceless items.

Conler Castle is now subject to strict security measures. There are now more scouts than before. I thought I was going insane, thinking that this strangely lingering solemn atmosphere was caused by their concern about me.

I also made the decision to take action in the best way I knew how. I'll ask Hestia to teach me how to shoot arrows. A bit more training than before. First and foremost, the intensity of the bow I shot increased slightly. If necessary, I can now shoot someone.

I can't believe I can shoot people.

I've pointed my bow at Cameron before, but it was more of a threat than a real shot. I was a little...... excited when I considered shooting a person or something that is not a person for my safety.

The people who had taken me hostage thus far were all humans like zombies, even if I had shot them with a bow, they would not have reacted. But I'm not sure I'm up to dealing with the black fog that kidnapped me on my birthday or the underworld god with a bow.

What on earth is the underworld's god?

"But what have you been looking for since earlier?"

"Ah, the dagger."

"A dagger?"

"You are aware of the gift I received from Count Stein, right?"

I tried to find the dagger I received from Count Stein during the hunting incident with Cameron, but it was nowhere to be found. Where did this go? I tried to carry it around for self-defense, but I couldn't find it. I definitely put it in the closet. I don't think the dagger ran somewhere alone because it doesn't have feet.

"Did you lose it after taking it somewhere else?"

"No, no. I've always kept it here out of fear of using it."

It's absurd that it vanished while I'm looking for it in this way because it was something I didn't use to carry around. I doubt I'll run into Count Stein on my own, but how am I supposed to look at his face? Although the person who gave it to me meant well, I lost it before I could use it.

"Who could have taken it?"

"No, I didn't take good care of it."

Even Carol volunteered to search for it, but there was no sign of the dagger. I wouldn't mind if it were something I had purchased, but the fact that it was something that someone else had given me made me feel worse. But I didn't want to cast doubt on others. First of all, it is impossible that the Conler people would steal anything. Where did it go?
