Saved by Crazy Stepfather!

"Don't... Mom, don't die."

It is already my tenth life.

Even though I've seen Mom die nine times, I never get used to it.

Thud, thud.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the distance, and I hastily drew a magic circle.

And finally, I succeeded.

I managed to escape from the Emperor who had been abusing Mom and me!

"What are you?"

A handsome man, as if created by a god.

Duke Avelant, the person I'd been looking for.

"You came at once. I found you. My father's candidate!"

"What...? Father Candidate?"

"Yes! Raise me and my mom!"

I didn't care about the confused looks.

He was the person I had marked as a daddy candidate.

"I'll make you emperor!"

"What...?"

"I'm strong!"

I'll be absolutely necessary for you.

So raise us up!
