Lady Invincible

Chapter 8

Hilise's POV

I felt his glare on me become colder.

"You won't even tell anyone the truth."

I added.

After I said that, I turned my head and met the eyes of the man standing before me.

"......You're delusional."

I could feel my father trying to hold back his anger.

"You've got something that isn't supposed to  yours and yet you're being conceited."

I couldn't tell if he's talking to me or to himself.

His expression was full of scorn towards me.

But I also knew that his eyes would become tangled with far more intense hatred towards me than now.

"If you keep acting like this..."

"What will you do?"

He has no choice but to admit the fact that I am this generation's 'successor'.

He thinks that I've taken away his beloved son's power.

The corners of my mouth raised, giving my father a grin.

"Will you keep me in this room until I become docile? Or will you hit me to discipline me? If not."

The more I talked, the fiercer his face became.

"......Will you kill me and put me out of everyone's sight forever so that I can no longer oppose you?"

My father may not think that he's excessive and abusive.

He's never done anything like that to me up to this day.

However, my father is cruel and heartless.

In my past lives, everything I said just now was done to me by the same person standing in front of me right now.

Of course, as I went back in time, these events disappeared into the future, but they are still my past.

So even if nothing happened to me yet in this life, it's still impossible to treat him as if nothing happened.

"Father."

In my past seven lives, three of my deaths were done by this man.

"If I fall down from here, will I die or not?"

One was when he killed me with his own hands, the other two were done indirectly and in a complex manner, but the fact that he was the one who killed me, whether by his own hands or not, did not change.

In my past lives, Father hid my abilities from the outside world. He made me live in Ricardo's shadow.

The only times I was allowed to go out were when my powers were needed. Other than that, I was always confined inside my room.

During those times, I always believed Father whenever he told me that it was all for me, Ricardo, and the whole Inoaden.

I was really stupid during those times.

Then, when it became difficult to deceive the people, Father became more eager to transfer my powers to Ricardo.

I will never forget what I had to do in the process, even if I died and came back to life several times.

"This is just the third floor, but it's still quite high. If I'm unlucky, I could hit my head and die."

I got up from my seat and placed a hand on the window frame.
