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!
