I Became the Male Lead’s Adopted Daughter

"I’ve secured Aust’s forces."

That day, after returning to the estate, Leonia proudly reported to Ferio what they had accomplished.

"We handed Meridio over to the Imperial Palace under the pretext of refurbishing dangerous southern regions."

"And since it was House Voreoti that proposed the idea, we also agreed to provide assistance. Her Majesty the Empress approved it, and we gained a justification to dispatch the Gladiago Knights!"

Varia, who spoke alongside her, was visibly excited.

She was quite elated at the fact that they’d engaged in a battle of nerves with both the Empress and the Consort.

‘...Two puppies.’

Ferio looked at his daughter and wife and saw nothing more than two puppies hopping around, begging to be praised.

The small black puppy barked furiously for him to hurry up and give compliments, while the slightly larger pink puppy wagged her tail energetically, eyes gleaming round with excitement.

"That’s truly impressive."

So Ferio patted Leonia’s head and kissed Varia on the lips.

The pink puppy giggled shyly, and Ferio was very satisfied. It looked like he’d be getting a good workout in bed again tonight.
