19. Hidden Mission

"Father! You're awake?!" Ursilla smiled widely with her eyes sparkling with pleasure.

Victor frowned, his hands resting on the documents on the table. The previously closed eyelids slowly opened. His ears buzzed slightly at Ursilla's shrill voice which brought his consciousness forcibly.

Having managed to gather consciousness, Victor turned his head to the side and lowered his head. His eyes widened slightly when he saw Ursilla who stretched out her hands asking Victor to lift her up.

Victor snorted in amusement to see his daughter acting adorable. "Silla, since when have you been here?"

Ursilla waved her hand signaling Victor to lift her up and sit her on Victor's lap. "Dad, I want to sit down! I'm tired of having to stand waiting until you wake up."

Ursilla put on a pitiful look as if what she was doing before was hard work. Whereas some time ago, she was busy observing Victor and had only been standing for a few minutes. Well, acting spoiled as Ursilla wasn't embarrassing for her.

Victor lifted Ursilla's body easily and sat her sideways on his lap. Victor smiled gently while stroking Ursilla's hair which was a little messy from moving too much. "So, were you able to answer Father's previous question?"

Ursilla placed her index finger on her chin in a pose as if she was deep in thought. "I came here and found Father sleeping. Just a few minutes ago."

Ursilla tilted her head watching Victor who resumed checking some documents while occasionally glancing at Ursilla. Ursilla's right hand rose, her little fingers touching Victor's eye socket. "Dad, are you tired?"

Victor stopped the movement of his hand which was signing the document. Victor put down the pen, his attention focused on Ursilla who stroked Victor's eye bags as if to erase the black color that was there.

"Silla, are you worried about Father?" Victor picked up Ursilla, moved his daughter to sit at the desk and faced his.

Victor caressed Ursilla's face, so tiny and tender. Ursilla's facial line is almost the same as Ursenna's. It's like seeing a mini version of Ursenna, only her hair color is different. Ursenna's and Ursilla's eyes were the same, except that Ursenna's pink eyes sparkled brightly, while Ursilla's was dark.

"Yes, I'm worried about you. I don't want you to get sick." Ursilla smiled sadly looking at Victor's face with a sad look.

Victor's heart was touched to hear the confession of his daughter who was worried about him. Victor hugged Ursilla's tiny body with warm feelings. "Thanks for worrying about Father, Silla. But I won't get sick so easily."

Ursilla knew Victor wouldn't get sick easily moreover he was a sword master with perfect aura. It was certain that he could easily recover his condition. But, resting normally like an ordinary person is better than relying on mana power.

Ursilla put her hands on Victor's back and patted her father's sturdy back. "You're welcome, Dad! If you are tired, Silla can accompany you to rest."

"Hm. I'll remember that." Victor tightened his embrace on Ursilla. The heart that was previously filled with chaos, was now calm when he was near Ursilla, his daughter who slightly lost his longing for loved ones.

[ Congratulations to the Player who can complete the hidden mission! In the future there will also be hidden missions besides the main mission given by the system to the Player. ]

[ Hidden mission : Getting used to the new dad. It's been resolved! ]

[ Reward : Gain 100 points, reduce 2% death rate. ]

[ Recent update. ]

[ Number of points: 250]

[ Death rate : 98% ]

Ursilla's body instantly froze. She didn't expect there to be a hidden mission. But, the reward was even more surprising to her.

"Just reduced the death rate by 2%? Even more knights than Father!" Ursilla didn't understand how the system actually worked.

Reduces 5% death rate if Ursilla gets a knight.

Reduced 2% death rate for completing hidden missions related to Victor becoming her new father.

Even juxtaposed with a knight would be worse than Victor who clearly had more power. How come it's only 2%?! While the knight 5%!

"System, can you explain why it's only 2% for my father? He's a great sword master, while his knight power is still below my father's! Why is it a knight who's 5%?" Ursilla demanded an answer from the system which left her confused. Luckily, it turns out that the system answered straightforwardly without any information restrictions.

[ Player, please remember all the contents of the novel Love to Ursilla. You will be blind if you do not remember important details in the novel. ]

[Victor is a king. He was very busy taking care of royal affairs with the crown prince. While the knight who swore allegiance to you, will certainly be by your side wherever you go. So, according to the Player, who will save you faster when you are in a dangerous situation? ]

Ursilla finally understands how the system of death behavior works. Of course the knight who had more chances of saving her than Victor who might be a little late due to being too busy. However, the word 'a little' is what will actually create problems in the future.

If Ursilla relied too much on Victor, maybe she would spend the 'little' time with the suffering of Morgan and Victor only arrived at the scene when Ursilla almost died. Well, that's roughly how the picture of her own condition.

Ursilla smiled lopsidedly when she managed to come to a conclusion on how the system worked. "It's not about strength, it's about the chance that person could save me in a dangerous situation, correct?"

[ Yes, you are right, Player! ]

Very nice! Ursilla now had a rough idea of ​​what she had to do. Not the strongest person, but someone who is useful and by her side and can protect her. That's the main point.

"Silla, why did you come here? Isn't it your nap time?" Victor unraveled the hug and focused on Ursilla completely. Work he could finish later, spending time with his daughter was such a rare time for Victor that he wanted to enjoy it now for a long time.

Ursilla smiled sweetly, finally the moment she had been waiting for came. Ursilla had to immediately convey her wish to Victor. "Father, may I have a knight?"

Victor was still giving his usual response. "All the knights in Victoria are yours too, Silla. Do you still want anything else?"

Ursilla shook her head, her hand grabbed Victor's strong palm and grasped it with her two tiny hands. "Father, I want to have a knight for myself, not the kingdom!"

Victor's brows knit together tightly, his dark blue eyes gleaming sharply. "What do you mean, Silla? Did the knight I sent couldn't protect you well?! Then I'll replace it with another one and give the knight a severe punishment!"

"Louis Rottie Van." Just with Ursilla mentioning the knight's name, Victor's face turned as white as paper. That was because there was no way Louis could make a mistake or even neglect his duties.
