Point: Yeah, the charm of a 37-year-old dad really is impossible to resist, lol. Most of the heroines are still under 15 years old. Even the MC’s own daughter ends up becoming one of the heroines.
The MC is originally fated to become a mini-boss and get killed by the First Prince’s party, together with the heroines, including his own daughter. But little by little, he tries to change that fate by fixing his relationship with the characters around him.
He changes his plan from taking over the kingdom into preparing for a monster attack, all so he can protect his territory. Because of that, people slowly start seeing the MC as a good leader.
But it turns out that in this world, the Crown Prince, who was supposed to be the hero who fights the MC, is actually working together with demons to steal the throne. His only goal is to enjoy power and have fun with beautiful women. Meanwhile, the main heroines are all slowly getting charmed by the MC one by one.

★ In the original story, Mark Stewart Braumont takes the throne of the Intecluse Kingdom after successfully taking back the capital, which had been occupied by demon and monster forces. Mark, who holds the position of Duke, had actually been planning this power grab for a long time, including killing the king in the process.
★ But that plan is eventually stopped by the original protagonist, Rokes, the kingdom’s crown prince. Together with the heroines, Amueliza Roterosa, Marian Lotte, and Mark’s own daughter, Folsina Braumont, they fight Mark and expose all the crimes he has committed.
★ But in this version of the story, everything changes.
Mark suddenly regains the memories of his previous life. He realizes that the world he is living in now is the world of the game Oreia Old Stories. In that game, Mark is fated to become a mini-boss who will eventually be defeated and judged by his own daughter.
After realizing that tragic future, Mark tries to change his fate.
★ Unfortunately, those memories come back when the rebellion plan he had already prepared is already in motion.
Mark gets his memories back just a few days before the main story of the game begins, right before the prologue, when he and Folsina are summoned to the capital to attend the crown prince’s appointment ceremony.
★ Not long after Mark gets his memories back, one of his subordinates comes to see him.
Mildart, who has served the Braumont noble family for generations as the head family’s assistant, enters Mark’s office to ask about something suspicious. He questions the territory’s budget spending, which has been used to buy a huge number of Magic Catapults.
Mildart starts suspecting that Mark is preparing a rebellion.
★ Mark, who now wants to change his fate, quickly tries to come up with an excuse. He cannot just cancel all the orders he gave before regaining his game memories, because that would only create new suspicions.
Mark orders Mildart to gather all the budget documents of the territory so they can be reviewed again. He also explains that the Magic Catapults are meant to strengthen the defense of his territory.
★ Mark’s first meeting after regaining his past-life memories with one of the heroines is with his own daughter, Folsina Braumont.
During dinner together in the large family dining room, only Mark and Folsina are sitting at the long table.
Folsina looks exactly like she did in the game. She has a cold expression, like an ice princess.
★ Even though Mark is really happy to meet one of the heroines from the game in person, Mark’s memories as Folsina’s father are still stronger. To Mark, Folsina is still his own daughter.
Their relationship is not very good. Because of that, Mark tries to fix their relationship so he can avoid the future where he gets judged by his own daughter.
★ Mark tries to break the awkward silence by asking how Folsina has been doing lately.
Folsina answers by explaining her daily routine, from practicing magic to working hard to become a woman worthy of being chosen by the crown prince, so she can one day become the queen of the Intecluse Kingdom.
★ The next day, Mark goes to the forest inside his territory to test the power he has. He is accompanied by four knights.
As a character fated to become a mini-boss, Mark has tremendous power. He is known as the Azure Moon Magic Swordsman, a swordsman who can also use high-level magic.
Just as Mark expected, he can use his power the same way as in the game, and he easily defeats the monsters in the forest.
★ To check how similar this world is to the game he knows, Mark tells the knights to wait and forbids them from following him. Then he goes deeper into the forest alone.
There, Mark touches a huge tree that stretches high into the sky. When he pours his mana into the trunk, the tree turns into a gateway to another dungeon.
That secret dungeon is Hermit’s Trial Ground, a bonus dungeon from the game.
★ Mark clears the dungeon alone and defeats the boss inside. From there, he gets a dropped item called the Staff of the Spirit Tree, which he plans to give to Folsina later.
On top of that, Mark also receives a special skill from the god as a reward for clearing the dungeon.
He chooses the skill God Speed, because as a mini-boss, he already has very high physical strength and magic power. With that extra speed, he becomes even stronger.
★ After returning, Mark receives a report from Mildart about the territory’s budget spending.
Mark then cancels several orders he had previously given to his subordinates.
Mildart is extremely surprised by this change, because Mark had never taken back any order he had already given before.
Mark explains that a leader who has the courage to admit his mistakes is better than a leader who refuses to admit them.
Those words slightly change Mildart’s view of Mark.
★ Not only that, before leaving for the capital, Mark also talks with Folsina to raise her Love Parameter.
Mark says that he no longer wants Folsina to become the prince’s wife. Since he has no other children, Mark wants Folsina to become the successor of the Braumont family and help him manage their territory.
After hearing that, Folsina’s usually cold expression begins to change.
She smiles.
It is the same smile she had in the original game when Folsina was finally freed from her father’s control.
★ Finally, the day arrives for Mark and Folsina to attend Prince Rokes’s appointment ceremony as the crown prince of the Intecluse Kingdom.
They travel for seven days by carriage to reach the capital.
Folsina looks very happy to be traveling together with her father.
But when Mark sees the state of the capital, he realizes that something is different compared to his last visit. The people’s faces look gloomy, and the economy does not seem to be doing well.
★ At the ceremony, Mark meets one of the Three Great Dukes, Duke Gentronov.
Mark is known as the Blue Duke, while Gentronov is known as the Black Duke.
Duke Gentronov’s face looks like that of a villain. But in the original story, he is actually the noble who loyally stays by the protagonist’s side until the end to fight Mark.
★ Duke Gentronov introduces his granddaughter, Marian Lotte Gentronov, whom he brought to the palace that day.
He intends to set his granddaughter up with Prince Rokes so she can become the crown prince’s future fiancée.
Aside from them, there is actually one more duke, Duke Vamiliora Roterosa. But she is absent because she is dealing with a pandemic in her own territory.
★ Not long after that, Prince Rokes enters the room together with the king and queen of the Intecluse Kingdom.
The moment he enters, Rokes’s eyes scan the entire room, as if he is looking for beautiful women among the invited guests.
Seeing that behavior, Mark immediately gives Rokes a terrible evaluation. His attitude is completely different from the Rokes Mark knows from the original story.
★ After the ceremony ends, Rokes immediately chooses Marian Lotte as his fiancée.
Mark already knows that in the game’s plot, Rokes is supposed to choose a fiancée. But what happens next is completely unexpected.
After choosing Marian Lotte as his first wife candidate, Rokes then points at Folsina as his second wife and orders her to come to his side immediately.
★ But in front of all the nobles and the king, Folsina refuses.
Mark also intends to state his rejection, but before he can say anything, chaos suddenly breaks out.
More than ten Chaos Demons suddenly appear inside the palace hall.
★ The king immediately orders all soldiers to protect him. Selfishly, he prioritizes the safety of the royal family and does not care about the other nobles in the room.
Prince Rokes calls for Folsina to come to his side if she wants to survive the demon attack.
But Folsina ignores his order and looks toward her father instead.
★ From his game knowledge, Mark already knows that a demon attack will happen during this ceremony.
He steps forward alone.
Mark defeats all the Chaos Demons by himself without sacrificing a single person.
The guards outside the room only arrive after hearing the commotion, but by then, everything is already over.
★ After the incident, the king calls Mark to his room to reward him for his service.
At first, the king offers to make Folsina Braumont Prince Rokes’s official wife.
But Mark refuses.
Instead, he asks for the reward to be used as official permission for him to reject the engagement offer.
★ After returning to his residence in the capital, Mark uses the travel time to keep raising Folsina’s Love Parameter, hoping that in the future, he can avoid the bad fate waiting for him.
On the other hand, inside her room, Folsina tells her personal maid, Mial, about how amazing her father was when he fought the Chaos Demons at the palace.
★ But behind her admiration, Folsina is also worried.
She is afraid that the women and girls who were in the hall at that time might become attracted to her father because he looked so strong and cool. The thought that other women might try to approach her father makes Folsina uncomfortable.
Because of that, Folsina decides that she will not let any woman take her father away.
★ To her, her father once said that he wanted Folsina to become the successor of the Braumont family and someone who would always stay by his side. Not only that, her father also said that Folsina was the most precious person to him.
For Mark, those words were just a father’s affection toward his child.
But for Folsina, the feelings she has for Mark have already gone far beyond a child’s love for her parent.
