But seriously guys (You know who you are) why do you think her being HAPPY her father is being well FATHERLY automatically means she wants to bone him! Seriously shit like Usagi Dropped has RUINED familial affection since people can't stop THINKING the worse......get your minds out the gooner gutters you Pervs! (Bakas) (Even though TECHNICALLY the Father x Daughter in DROPPED were adopted and not even BLOOD RELATED with the revelation that she was NOT his bio aunt AKA his grandpa's child by blood! Inseki does NOT handwave the ICK of INCEST though! If you had a family establishment for long enough, seeing family as a "partner" is still ewww! And DROPPED is worse because of that HUGE FUCKING AGE GAP to add on to it!)
I'm still waiting for the chapter to show she's STILL an Ice Princess and was faking because she didn't understand why her father is now acting like he is! Basically the SUBVERSION where NO ONE, not the Dark Elf Kunoichi nor her are "FOOLS/FOOLED" and actually DO notice he's "acting out of character" and are FAKING IGNORANCE initially to "better lower MC guard" but now abit confused. with the Daughter even at a point where she wonders if her emotions right now are REAL or she's faking them because she FINALLY got her wish! Her father finally paying attention to her and BEING a father (From the OG Game, she was the ONLY ONE to wish him PEACE IN DEATH as though "finally acknowledging her childish wish that he be a better father and man will forever never happen, but cannot purely hate him because in the end he WAS her father, she just cannot forgive his choices!)
Now on to MC situation, he's noting things are happening differently and that's likely because he underestimated that the black duke MIGHT have spies among his staff (makes sense ALL Noble houses would have a spy or two, only DANGEROUS if you forget who is the spy in the household) and his ACTIONS have started to WORRY the Black Duke (He's using META KNOWLEDGE to get POWERFUL SHIT, Wouldn't it be funny if his daughter ALREADY KNEW she had Ice Magic, but because of MC insistence, she had no choice but to reveal her hidden card, using the "I have low Mana" as an excuse for not majorly using it or more be FORCED to use it as again, TRUMP CARD and she was already working against her father...till MC incarnated as her father and started ACTING as a father should and sabotaging his own PLANS. She's old enough to not be easily FOOLED no matter how much MC tries to ACT as he THINKS the Duke is suppose to act as he's done WAY TOO MANY "out of character" actions for no one who seriously knows the Duke to not notice! There just lowering HIS GUARD and with the old man, having a "even if he's a fake, I prefer the fake over the real deal" moment
Well this is all guess work! The fun is SEEING if I'm correct or wrong in the coming chapters
EDIT FOR THOSE "CONFUSION": This is me writing down my thoughts and presumption, how hard is that to understand? I'm PRESUMING that his daughter is FAKING her "Daddy is finally giving me the love I wanted" cause it feels WAY TOO LATE IN THE GAME for her to just SUDDENLY go back to being a LITTLE GIRL HAPPY TO HAVE HER FATHER'S ATTENTION and the thought came up with the fact he said the Dark Elf Kunoichi was secretly betraying him for the Heroes of the OG Story already. Since his Daughter is suppose to be one of the OG Heroine's who turns on him. I'm presuming she already was against him, it's just his SUDDEN AFFECTION and "becoming the man/father she wanted him to be" out the blue would make her "act like she THINKS he's expecting her to act" just to keep her cover!" (For all she knows, this is just another "TEST" by him!). My other presumptions are because as he said the "Black Duke" his rival is acting differently and implimenting plans that character did in the OG story WAY EARLIER, and since it would be OBVIOUS Noble's would have SPIES in their Rivals homes, he would have found out about his "giving his daughter a POWERFUL ITEM and of course her finding out she has the Ice Element" so went into a panic and started doing a plan that was in progress ALOT SOONER then expected! MC just forgot until the Kunoichi informed him of what the Black Duke was doing in her reports! Remember MC knows he's a MID-BOSS so other then AVOIDING his demise, he has to assure at least the OG Heroes & his daughter will STILL have what they need to beat the latter threats that came AFTER his character's defeat!
It comes from other stories like this one where the Protagonist THINKS their deceiving everyone, only they've been around the "OG them" long enough to know something is up and are just "playing along" till they figure out "what is what/are they faking or just lost their marbles!"
Now is that BETTER EXPLAINED FOR YA!?
EDIT TO ADD AS OF JUNE 29
Oh Go fuck yourselves! Now your just picking Confusion to fuck with me LOL (I'm amused, not angry by the way)
