I Became the Male Lead’s Adopted Daughter

"Leo, ramen..."

It took the Marquis of Hesperi a moment to realize that the nickname ‘Leo’ was derived from the name ‘Leonia’, and that the one being addressed was the Voreoti young lady.

‘That man is saying a nickname out loud?’

Just moments ago, the marquis had been immersed in gloom, but now he revived in a different way.

He had known the beast and his daughter were close from the moment he greeted them, but he hadn’t expected it to be to this extent.

The idea that the infamous Ferio would call someone by a nickname was shocking in itself.

Today was, in many ways, an astonishing day.

“What good is it to dwell on the past?”

Ferio’s remark pulled the Marquis of Hesperi back from his lapse into reflection.

It was a truly cold piece of advice.

While criticizing the marquis’s past, he also pointed out—sharply—that there was no use in regretting it now.

“You certainly made your share of mistakes, Marquis.”
