Heroine Netori

Here's the text you requested:

"How can there be such a kind child... It seems the people back then were greatly mistaken."

"Sob, sob... She truly is a filial daughter!"

"This is why one must judge others based on what they see with their own eyes. Come here, how hard has it been for you? Poor child."

After speaking with Cecilia, the Duchess was quickly won over and, in tears, embraced Cecilia. Indeed, my daughter is kind and cute in anyone’s eyes.

"Thank you, Lady Crozet..."

"Cecilia... from now on, call me Godmother. I will definitely clear up your misunderstandings. Just trust me!"

"...Godmother."

"Yes!"

Really, anyone would think they were mother and daughter. Who would guess they had just met today? Seeing the warm interaction between the two brightened my mood as well.

To be honest, I was a bit nervous. What did I know about helping with a debut in high society? I had no knowledge or connections, and the only person who could have helped was Elaine, but he was a divorced man and probably wouldn't have been of much help. But to think we could get help from someone who could be considered the pinnacle of the royal social circle, we were really lucky.

"But, Godmother... are you okay? The fact that you came to find father, does it mean you were feeling unwell?"

Worried Cecilia asked with a stern expression, noticing something. The clueless knight coughed, and the Duchess blushed, reminded of that moment.

"Don’t worry. Your father has healed everything."

"That’s a relief... my father is amazing, isn’t he?"

"Mmm... he was amazing... very..."

Lady, what is that expression? The way she glanced at me was quite suggestive. Now that I think about it, the sexual stimulation has reached level 10, adding addiction... It seemed she might secretly ask for another treatment without the knight knowing.

"Then I will contact you when we go up to the capital."

"But do you have a place to stay? I heard you sold all your property in the capital and moved down here."

"We have a little money saved up here. We’re thinking of buying a house about this size."

"Hmm... don’t do that, come stay at our house. I'm too anxious to leave you two alone while misunderstandings about you still haven’t been cleared."

I hadn't thought of that... but it's certainly a good point. It hasn’t been that long since the rumors died down a bit, and if word gets out that we’ve returned to the capital, there will definitely be people who want to harm us.

"Would that be alright? I worry that we might be imposing too much."

"Oh, don’t worry about it. In fact, if I had known I had such a cute daughter, I would have..."

The lady stroked Cecilia’s head and reassured her. Cecilia, you frightening child... have you already maxed out her affection? It seemed our life in the capital would be easier than expected.

"How vulgar. In the midst of an affair, yet coveting another man..."

Late at night, after putting Deokbae to sleep, Cecilia touched his fingers and murmured.

"But it can’t be helped. He’s someone who has been helpful to me, and to father as well."

She brought Deokbae’s fingers to her lips, sucking on them before pressing them against her vagina.

"Ah... only until he’s useful..."

Then she began to masturbate using his fingers.@@novelbin@@

"Hehe... these tainted fingers, I'll clean them for you, Father..."

===

Two weeks later, after receiving a call from the Duchess, we headed to the capital. Although we were somewhat attached to the village of Opian, it was time to leave. It was a bit sad, but now that there were no more maidens left to charm, the excitement for the capital outweighed the sadness.

"Father... I’m scared..."

Oh, as the capital came into view from the carriage, Cecilia trembled with anxiety. It must have been traumatic for her since she was young... I tightly embraced my poor daughter. Cecilia trembled in my arms, looking truly pitiable.

"Ria, don’t worry. Dad is right here."

"Father... never leave my side."

"Of course."

I stroked her head, and only then did Cecilia seem to calm down. However, she still did not leave my embrace, and I had no intention of letting her go. Thus, as we held each other, the carriage eventually entered the capital and arrived at the Crozet family's mansion.

***

"Wow... it's huge. Is this really where we will be staying?"

"Think of it as your home and be comfortable. I’ve already made the arrangements."

"Thank you so much, Madam."

"Oh, you don’t have to thank me for that. Don’t even mention it."

As we got out of the carriage, the Duchess welcomed us. She really treated us like family. It wasn’t false when she said she thought of Cecilia as her daughter. Since she acted this way, even the mansion’s servants treated us like their own masters.

Yes, this is what nobility is... This was my first taste of noble life since entering ‘Heroine Netori’, and I was satisfied as I comfortably fell asleep. Of course, I was with Cecilia.

===

The next day, Madam and I discussed a few things.

First, about Duke Liam, the owner of the mansion. He hadn’t yet returned to the capital, so our staying here was actually a unilateral decision by the Madam. She informed the duke without any fuss, and he had no objections.

Next, about sleeping in the same room as Cecilia. Madam said it was time for Cecilia to "graduate" from me, but I refused, using her trauma as an excuse. I agreed that it was time for her to graduate, but given Cecilia’s anxiety since returning to the capital, I couldn’t let her sleep alone.

Then, the Madam offered to sleep with Cecilia herself. Crafty woman. This had been her goal. Cecilia seemed to like the Duchess enough not to refuse. We agreed to take turns sleeping with Cecilia.

Lastly, about my work as a doctor. Madam asked if I could treat patients independently of my work at the academy. It seemed she intended to use my healing abilities as one of her resources. Since Madam and I had a symbiotic relationship, I naturally agreed to do so. Of course, I would receive separate compensation. I’m no fool; nothing comes for free.

"That’s all the necessary discussion for now. Leave the social debut to me. I'll make sure Cecilia has the best debut in the capital."

"I’ll trust you, Madam."

====

A few days later, after receiving a recommendation letter, I took Cecilia's letter and we headed to the academy early in the morning. Cecilia clung to me the entire way, unwilling to let go. She must have been feeling anxious… It was sweet yet bitter.

Upon arriving at the academy, memories of Deokbae Asil flashed through my mind like a lantern show. The academy hadn't changed at all from what I remembered. Could it really be a building made by magic...

Since it was vacation, the academy was quiet, and not a single student could be seen in such a vast space. This seemed to reassure Cecilia, who brightened up. Arriving early, we spent our time touring around the academy as if on a date.

"Here’s the infirmary. This is where I'll be working from now on."

"Hehe… I’ll come here every day. This bed is mine now."

"No, you can't. If you come here when you're not sick, I’ll scold you."

"That’s mean… I’ll tell the Godmother on you!"

We were joking around in the empty infirmary when suddenly the door creaked open. Who could it be during vacation? I heard the previous health teacher had quit. Could they have left something behind?

Curious, I walked toward the entrance and saw a woman standing there.

She had pink curly hair that fell to her waist, seen only in comics, a tiny face with beautiful eyes embedded in it. Her waist was slender enough to snap, and her exposed shoulders were as white as the first snow.

I was breathless with her beauty as she looked at me, startled.

"...How are you still alive..."

She murmured something in a low voice that I couldn't hear.

But to meet like this was beyond my imagination... Caught off guard and unable to speak, I just stood there. Cecilia stepped forward and greeted her.

"Hehe, hello? I am Cecilia Asil, and I will be attending the academy starting next year. Nice to meet you."

For some reason, the woman's face turned pale as she looked at Cecilia, then fled the scene. I couldn't understand why she reacted that way, but I had no room for other thoughts.

"What a strange person. She didn’t even accept my greeting."

"Indeed..."

Because she is Luina Ober. She's the protagonist of this 'Heroine Netori' story.

===

As usual, Luina went to the infirmary to get some medicine and met a man she had never seen before. No, she had never seen him in reality, but he existed in her memory.

"Impossible... Deokbae Asil is dead! Why is a man who committed suicide here?!"

Her head was already aching, and seeing someone who should not be alive made it feel like it was going to split open.

"This is too different from the original. Is it all because of me? Wait... if Deokbae Asil is alive, then that 'witch' is...?"

In front of the shocked woman appeared a girl who looked extremely cute and innocent.

"...Witch!"

But she was far from innocent. Luina knew that all too well. Fear surged through her. Cold sweat ran down her back, and her legs trembled. Her breathing became ragged, and her pupils dilated. She needed to move, to run away, but her feet wouldn’t move. Seeing this, the girl in front of her smiled.

Then she was horrified.

"I’m going to die! No! Why is the witch here... No, I don’t want to die!"

Slowly, the girl approached her and whispered.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Luina Ober."

Chills ran down her body. She could no longer breathe. Her thoughts stopped, filled only with terror and fear. She wanted to give up on life.

"Hehe."

At that moment, the girl looked at her and smiled. Perhaps because of that, her body started moving again. She didn’t look back and ran away from the spot.

The girl watched her until the very end.
