My Daddy Hides His Power Chapter 208

* * *

 

Wizard Tower, Oscar’s office.

 

I stood in front of the full-length mirror.

 

A mirror, a princess-style sofa, a makeshift bed, and different types of combs on the desk…

 

It was clearly a working room, but at some point, Oscar started customizing it one by one.

 

“Whoo.”

 

Take a deep breath.

 

Let’s imagine and use our abilities, 

 

10min/sec

 

“Wow.”

 

Immediately, I saw a different me reflected in the mirror.

 

A fascinating mole beneath bright red lips.

 

A slender beauty with a height of 170cm, with hair as red as her lips.

 

‘Should I make my chest a bit bigger?’

 

The beautiful woman’s chest swelled slightly more. About a C cup to a D cup?

 

“Oh my, oh my.” 

 

I smiled in satisfaction and cupped my hands under her breasts.

 

“….?”

 

Then, beyond the mirror.

 

I saw Oscar behind me.

 

“Heuk.” 

 

When I turned around in surprise, he, who had been watching me with an arrogant frown, quickly came running towards me.

 

“This!”

 

Oscar’s hand, which was trying to grab my head, passed right through without touching it.

 

“What? Is this an illusion type?”

 

“Yes. It’s much more efficient to deceive the eyes with illusions than to completely change my appearance.”

 

“How much does it cost?”

 

“…10 minutes per second.”

 

Oscar’s eyes widened for a moment and he shouted.

 

“Can’t you release it quickly?!!!” 

 

When the spell was released, the mirror once again reflected my short stature and silver hair.

 

Of course, it was an A cup…

 

“Ack!”

 

Oscar, as if he had been waiting, gave my head a light knock.

 

“Why are you hitting me?”

 

“That’s because you’re doing such nonsense!”

 

“What do you mean by nonsense? You were the one who told me to change my appearance, Master!”

 

“Me? Really? When? I never told you to pretend to be a woman with bright red lips and watermelon-sized breasts.”

 

“If I’m going to do it anyway, I’ll do it my way!”

 

“Haa.” 

 

Oscar, who quietly closed his eyes and let go of his anger, turned around.

 

I followed him steadily.

 

“Didn’t I look like a rose just now? So I’m going to go by the name Rosalyn. Surname, Versace. Rosalyn~ Versace~”

 

“What nonsense.”

 

Oscar sat down in his chair and glared at me. 

 

“You’re going? Really?” 

 

“Let’s go then. You know Brother Leon’s going to die, so why leave him be?”

 

A large-scale battle to subdue demonic beasts. 

 

Leon’s death in Volume 2 of the original work is almost a month away.

 

Oscar folded his hands together with a serious expression and began to mutter. 

 

“Maintaining an illusion spell takes 10 seconds? 1 minute is 10 hours. 10 minutes equals 4 days and 4 hours. 1 hour is 25 days…”

 

“Heuk. Look at how fast the calculations are.”

 

My brain couldn’t keep up with the fast calculation speed of the genius Lord of the Wizard Tower. 

 

“Is this right? Just staying in that form for 24 hours would shave off more than a year of your lifespan!”

 

“Ey, do you think I’m stupid? I won’t keep up the illusion constantly. I’ll just switch to this form briefly to help Leon when he’s in danger, and then I’ll immediately change back.” 

 

“….”

 

“Hngg, Master. You gave me permission, didn’t youuu?”

 

“Can’t we just let him die?”

 

“…Are you serious?”

 

“Haa.”

 

Oscar sighed again and glared at me.

 

“If anything happens, call me right away.”

 

“Nothing bad will happen. I submitted a 10-page report titled <Brother Leon’s Rescue Plan: Never Failing>.” 

 

“Haa, why are you talking back like this lately? Can’t you just answer quietly? Didn’t I say to call me if something happens?” 

 

“Yes.” 

 

Oscar’s expression, which had been glaring at me disapprovingly, changed strangely for some reason.

 

“…Why?” 

 

“Come here. Face. Closer.”

 

As I brought my face close to Oscar’s twitching fingers, he lightly brushed my lips.

 

The pink lipstick I had applied to my lips came off on his hands. 

 

“You put on makeup?”

 

Oscar narrowed his eyes and spoke with a suspicious tone.

 

“I, I could do that, right…?”

 

I swallowed hard.

 

“….”

 

“….”

 

Oscar looked into my eyes quietly, then snorted.

 

“I’m all grown up now too?!”

 

I tried to act calm and quickly turned my head.

Duke of Libre.

 

Leon Antrase received a call from his immediate superior, the head of the Magic Swordsman Team, Cheshire Libre, and visited his private residence. 

 

The intention was to discuss a plan to subdue large-scale demonic beasts that would take place in a month. 

 

“It’s empty.”

 

Two sofas and a spacious table.

 

A bed that looks like it hasn’t been used in a long time.

 

There was no warmth in the room where people stayed.

 

It had been a year since Cheshire had received a separate palace as a gift from the Emperor, so he rarely stayed at his own mansion.

 

“Did I come too fast?” 

 

Leon sat down on the sofa in the unoccupied room and thought about Cheshire. 

 

The younger brother, who had grown up like his own brother, had become the Emperor’s closest confidant and the center of power in this empire.

 

However, he is 19 years old this year.

 

The big-headed Leon now knows many things he didn’t before.

 

For example, what does his uncle, Enoch Rubinstein, intend?

 

And also, what role is Cheshire playing in carrying out his will― things like that. 

 

‘Not much time left.’

 

The current Capital had a tense atmosphere, as if it would not be surprising if war broke out immediately. 

 

It’s a real pain in the head.

 

“Hoaam, I’m sleepy.”

 

Leon yawned and lay down on the sofa. He was planning on taking a nap while waiting for Cheshire. 

 

* * *

 

A long-awaited visit to his private mansion. 

 

The door opened, and Cheshire entered. 

 

“Cheshiree.”

 

Lilith followed behind him, closed the door, and asked.

 

“Are you mad?”

 

“….”

 

“You’re angry.”

 

“No.”

 

Shaking his head, Cheshire paused and sighed. 

 

It’s ridiculous how he denies being angry while his entire demeanor shows otherwise. 

 

“Let go of your anger… .”

 

“Sir Aaron. Did you like it?” 

 

When asked, Lilith’s mouth dropped open.

 

“No. Are you crazy?”

 

“Then why did you receive it?”

 

Cheshire gestured at the bouquet of roses in Lilith’s hand.

 

“T, this…” 

 

Lilith quickly threw the bouquet on the floor. 

 

“S, so…” 

 

“He said he was thinking about it seriously.” 

 

The incident started two hours ago. 

 

It was a day when Cheshire had agreed to have dinner with his friends for a long time, so he went to pick up Lilith with Jem and Rom. 

 

“Princess, I am sincere. Please accept my heart.”

 

He witnessed sixteen-year-old knight Aaron, who received his knighthood this year, come to the Wizard Tower and kneel before Lilith, confessing his feelings. 

 

Of course, the fact that he confessed wasn’t very surprising. There are more than a few guys in the Magic Swordsman who are in love with Lilith.

 

“….”

 

Cheshire looked at Lilith’s face carefully and understood their feelings. 

 

Lilith was pretty.

 

It’s not just pretty,

 

It was really really pretty.

 

So much so that the men were prepared to be friendly to Enoch, not even knowing that he was scary.

 

“Sir Aaron, I’ll seriously consider it. Once I’ve made up my mind, I’ll contact you first, so please wait.” 

 

He wasn’t surprised by the confession, but Lilith’s answer was surprising. 

 

From then on, Cheshire continued to be angry. 

 

His anger was justified.

 

Why? 

 

Of course, Lilith had to reject his confession. 

 

“If I say I’ll consider it… he won’t come looking until I contact him first.” 

 

“….? You can just reject him. Why are you giving him space?” 

 

Cheshire didn’t hold back and lashed out at LIlith who was making excuses. 

 

“Actually, I’ve already rejected it three times. Today was his fourth confession.” 

 

“What?” 

 

Cheshire’s eyes widened.

 

“Why didn’t you tell me this whole time?” 

 

“What if I tell you? Are you going to go and scold him not to confess to me? Then people will be suspicious of our relationship. Also, the leader of the Magic Swordsman Division goes so far as to do something like that?”

 

Cheshire sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.

 

“Then, did you tell the Duke?” 

 

“Yeah, the second time he confessed. Dad persuaded him well and sent him back, but he came again the next day. I turned him down again.” 

 

“Is that kid crazy?”

 

Lilith was shocked to see Chesier being unusually enraged. 

 

“He was so persistent that I didn’t know what else to do. So, I gave him a pre-planned answer to prevent him from coming again. I said I’d think about it, hoping he wouldn’t bother me for a while.”

 

“….”

 

“But I didn’t expect you to see that. Sorry.”

 

Cheshire, quietly closing his eyes and letting go of his anger, turned around.

 

“Alright, don’t worry about it anymore. I’ll make sure that brat understands well when I talk to him.”   

 

“Mhm.”

 

LIlith timidly grabbed Cheshire’s hand. 

 

“Release your anger.”

 

“…I’m not angry.”

 

“Lie.”

 

“Yeah. I was angry, but not at you.”

 

Why is Cheshire so upset?

 

“Show me your face.” 

 

“….”

 

This man has never beaten Lilith. Eventually, Cheshire turned around again when asked to show his face. 

 

“You’re too tall.”

 

“….”

 

Lilith waved his hand, seemingly gesturing to adjust the height. 

 

Cheshire bowed his head slightly. 

 

As his face got closer, Lilith hesitated for a moment. 

 

Chu.

 

She grabbed Cheshire’s cheek and kissed him on the lips. 

 

“….”

 

“….”

 

Cheshire’s eyes widened in surprise.

 

Lilith blushed and cleared her throat. 

 

“W, what’s the reaction? Is it nothing special…?” 

 

Seeing Cheshire’s stiff posture as he bowed his head, Lilith retreated in embarrassment. 

 

“I’m going to play with my uncle for a bit and then go home!”

 

“Lilith.”

 

Cheshire grabbed Lilith’s arm as she tried to leave the room and turned her back around. 

 

“…Why?”

 

After hesitating for a moment, Cheshire carefully hugged Lilith. Lilith smiled shyly and hugged his waist.

 

Thump, thump.

 

The sound of racing hearts made it unclear whose it was between the two of them.

 

When they finally separated after hugging each other for a while.

 

“Hihi.”

 

“….”

 

Cheshire’s expression was relaxed, as if he had never been angry.

 

“I’m going.”

 

“…Mhm.”

 

Lilith left, and the door closed.

 

Cheshire felt the corners of his mouth twitching. 

 

“Haa.”

 

He sighs once and turns around, barely covering the corner of his mouth with his hand.

 

“….?”

 

What is happening?

 

In a room where he thought there was no one, there was someone. 

 

“Whoa…”

 

“….”

 

It seemed as if he had just woken up from the hidden sofa beyond the spacious table.

 

“B, brother…”

 

It was Leon. 

 

Looking at his expression, he seemed to have witnessed the entire situation.

 

“You, you… Wow, you guys… .”

 

“Brother. T, that’s…”

 

“…Are you two dating? Since when…?” 

 

“….”

 

Leon opened his mouth to its limit and muttered.

 

“I really couldn’t have imagined this…”
