Hazelle froze at those words, her eyes widening slightly. She quickly shook her head and stepped back. "N-No, Your Majesty. Please, I still feel that I don't deserve something like this."
[This is really too much,] Hazelle thought. [What kind of Duke would ever adopt someone who used to be a slave? Even a commoner wouldn't want to do that.]
Meanwhile, Lazarus was lost in thought. [Why did Rosie suddenly want me to adopt a child? Does she want to abandon me entirely?! Did I fail as her father so badly that she doesn't want to be my daughter anymore?!]
[Is this because I didn't give her money anymore?!]
Primrose let out a soft sigh. She hadn't even explained the real reason yet, but somehow her father had already jumped to the most dramatic conclusion possible.
And honestly, since when could a daughter throw away her own father and give him a new child as a replacement?
Where was the logic in that?!
