I Became the Male Lead’s Adopted Daughter

Even at her young age, Flomus had already met Ferio three times.

The first had been while out in town with her father.

The second, at a tea party hosted at her own home.

And now, this was the third.

Despite having encountered the Duke of the North—Ferio Voreoti—three times over the past few months, Flomus was still terrified of him.

The overwhelming fear refused to let her adjust. It pressed down on her little body, and if she didn’t run away immediately, she felt like she’d wet her undergarments.

“H-Hello...”

But Flomus, even while trembling, held back her fear and greeted him with watery eyes and a trembling voice.

It was a feat only made possible because she’d met him twice before.

“Th-thank you for... the, the invitation...”

It was already an improvement over last time, when she hadn’t even been able to speak.

Ferio silently waited for Flomus to finish.
