My Tyrant Daddy, Fall for Me Already! CHAPTER 3

[NEXT MORNING]

—ORPHANAGE COURTYARD–

The sun rises… dramatically. As if it too pities the life of one particular tiny disaster child.

And even the broom moves violently across the ground as if trying to erase destiny itself.

Lavinia Rosehart /[FL/Lee's Child]

*brooming* *muttering like a tragic philosopher*

Lavinia Rosehart /[FL/Lee's Child]

Lavinia Rosehart /[FL/Lee's Child]

I, Lavinia Rosebutt....child labour victim, ex-main character, and future national treasure. Declare that evryone here is nuts! Except me, ofcourse

Lavinia Rosehart /[FL/Lee's Child]

*sighing* My great escape? Check. Ended up in this tragic excuse of an orphanage? Check. And now I live in a place where rats have better popularity than furniture.

**rats emerging from a crack in the wall**

MU-MU [Bro of CHU-CHU]

*smirking* Oi, Lavinia! You really do look like Cinderella. Or should we call you… Lavin-erella?

CHU-CHU [bro of MU-MU]

*joining in* Want a dress? We got scraps and style, baby~

Lavinia Rosehart /[FL/Lee's Child]

*grumbling* Yes. Now even rodents are roasting me. This is fine. This is totally fine (ꐦ •᷄ࡇ•᷅)

[FLASHBACK]

[LAST NIGHT – INSIDE ORPHANAGE]

BETHY [ORPHANAGE OWNER]

BETHY [ORPHANAGE OWNER]

<snapping> What? What do you want now, girl?

Lavinia Rosehart /[FL/Lee's Child]

<internally activating strategy> {Okay okay, time to use a card. Tough tone... no chance for Logic Card... yes. Crying Card, go!}

LAVANIA THE OVERTHINKER~

LAVINIA THE SENSIBLE~

Lavinia Rosehart /[FL/Lee's Child]

<with wobbly lips> Y-your voice... so harsh... I'm just a kid...<sniff>…

Lavinia Rosehart /[FL/Lee's Child]

BETHY [ORPHANAGE OWNER]

<rolling her eyes> Shehh! Kids these days, so soft! Can’t even take a little bark!

BETHY [ORPHANAGE OWNER]

<walking away grumbling> Be grateful, girl. You could’ve been on the streets. We thought you were someone rich, but no one came. No records. No family. Just a name and your delusions.

>>BACK TO PRESENT

Lavinia Rosehart /[FL/Lee's Child]

**now wipes a perfectly timed tear**

Lavinia Rosehart /[FL/Lee's Child]

*yelling toward the sky* You TYRANT PAPA! When are you coming?! I only knew you were a tyrant, but now I know something worse...you have a GOLD-FISH MEMORY!

Lavinia Rosehart /[FL/Lee's Child]

** Points to her tiny forehead like it’s a CRIME SCENE **

Lavinia Rosehart /[FL/Lee's Child]

Yes, I blame you for this! My brain is weak because of you! My memory is tragic because of you! I’m your daughter but you forgot me like I was last season’s fashion!

Lavinia Rosehart /[FL/Lee's Child]

**slams the broom back down like it owes her money**

**kids in the background slowly back away**

Sili [Orphanage Kid]

*whispering to another kid* She’s scary… Look, she’s talking to herself again (⚆_⚆)

Jay [Orphanage Kid]

*nodding* She needs a nap.

BACK TO OUR LAVINIA~

Lavinia Rosehart /[FL/Lee's Child]

*holding her head* I’m scared… What if some random guy falls for my beauty and takes me away before my tyrant papa finds me? That’s what happens to beautiful main characters, right?!

Lavinia Rosehart /[FL/Lee's Child]

** YES! GUYS don't expect rationality from her NOW! **

SUDDENLY THINGS TAKES WORSE TURN~

LAVANIA THE OVERTHINKER~

(ಥ⌓ಥ) Yes, Livi, this is how it ends! Our non-existent future is now facing a present existence crisis! We got nothing! NOTHING! Not a plan, not a purpose, not even a proper pillow!

LAVANIA THE OVERTHINKER~

*flops on the floor* I can't even overthink properly anymore! I overthought so much, I out-overthought myself! What even is overthinking if I have to overthink how to overthink?!

LAVANIA THE OVERTHINKER~

Lavinia Rosehart /[FL/Lee's Child]

*staring blankly at a wall* *broom in hand* Wait... wait, WAIT! You mean even you, my inner overthinking voice, are confused?! Then who's gonna panic for us now?! I CAN’T DO BOTH JOBS!

Lavinia Rosehart /[FL/Lee's Child]

LAVANIA THE OVERTHINKER~

*sobbing in a corner* I used to be someone! I used to make graphs of emotional destruction! Now I just sit here wondering if our eyebrows are even!

LAVANIA THE OVERTHINKER~

Lavinia Rosehart /[FL/Lee's Child]

*eyes wide* Oh my god—ARE THEY EVEN?! *runs to a cracked mirror*

Lavinia Rosehart /[FL/Lee's Child]

Overthinking Livi, any brilliant last-minute delusions before I lose the remaining crumbs of my sanity?

LAVANIA THE OVERTHINKER~

** Suddenly GOT INSPIRED by divine nonsense **

LAVANIA THE OVERTHINKER~

Let’s just jump somewhere random and maybe—MAYBE—we’ll wake up as a duchess. THE ONCE HOTTEST DUCHESS WHO CURSED THE WHOLE EMPIRE TO NEVER HAVE DESCENDANTS. At least that time, we died coolly!

LAVINIA THE SENSIBLE~

*popping in with a clipboard and trauma* HEY! THAT’S A DEATH FLAG! RED FLAG! BLACK FLAG! WHO GAVE HER INSPIRATION PRIVILEGES AGAIN?!
