A Little Sprout in the Villain’s Duke House
A child born without inheriting the family’s power, Clover. Sent to her maternal relatives because she had no power, she grows up under the bullying of a wicked aunt and cousin. ‘Clover, it’s okay.’ Still, Clover never lost heart. Someday, Dad would come to take her away. [August 2, clear weather. Aunt got angry again. She told me not to tell Dad.] So she kept a diary in preparation for that day, and practiced her power hard so she could show it to her father when he came. But. ‘Dad, when are you coming?’ With the maternal relatives’ mistreatment growing worse by the day, and with her father still not coming even after ten diary pages, Clover had firmly believed that Dad would eventually come for her, but just as she was starting to think she had truly been abandoned…… “Clover, Dad’s here.” Her father appeared. And in the very form Clover had longed for so much. *** There was one thing the wicked aunt always told Clover. That Clover was useless and her power was pitiful, and that even if she returned home, she would surely be hated. But. “Even if you had no power, I would have loved you just the same, because you are my daughter.” A father far kinder and gentler than Clover had ever hoped for, “Pea, want to sit next to your big brother? Should I feed you?” “I’ve been waiting a very long time to meet you, little sister.” Two older brothers welcoming Clover home, “Clover, no one can lay a hand on you, as long as I’m here.” ……and even an older sister who seems a little overprotective, but who cherishes and loves Clover. Surrounded by the family she loves, Clover thinks: Maybe Aunt was wrong! *** Remember, Clover, a sprout is the past of a flower. A lovely growth story of little sprout Clover!
