I Ended Up Saving My Crazy Stepfather!

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!
