Chapter 138
The first person I went to was Nathan.
“Excuse me, do you like the room?”
“Yes! It’s very good.”
Nathan answered right away as he glanced at me slightly before opening his mouth again.
“By the way, Miss Laria…”
“Yes, why?”
“Did you finally succeed in assassinating the Young Duke?”
“What?”
“It’s amazing that you can walk around like this without any problems…”
“Evan is sleeping.”
Nathan sighed in relief as he heard my words, and he finally returned to his relaxed expression.
“He deserves it. He hadn’t slept since the banquet.”
Then, he lowered his voice and whispered.
“Miss Laria, one final word… now is the only chance.”
“What chance?”
“A chance to escape.”
Nathan looked as if he was the last to do good.
“Because I am also the Young Duke’s man, I must obey the Young Duke’s order to imprison Miss Laria and keep an eye on you. Before that…”
It seemed that the obsessive confinement was spread out in his head. No, how many times he wished for it that his eyes had turned crazy to find me…? First of all, it was a little over the line for him to kidnap Fred, but in the end, things turned out well.
“I’m on good terms with Evan. We’ve cleared up the misunderstanding.”
“…Thank you. Because you have a good heart, I was really worried.”
Hearing that, Nathan hesitated for a moment and he continued.
“Then… are you returning to the duke’s residence?”
I, too, hesitated on that question because I could not have predicted the rest of my family’s reaction. Meanwhile, Nathan, noticing my hesitation, spoke carefully.
“In the meantime, it seems that we have been thinking of Miss Laria as a doll that needs to be protected.”
“I was acting to make you think that way.”
“But now, Morand is waiting for Miss Laria. I heard that there is no mistress of the Duke’s residence more competent than Miss Laria.”
“Uh…umm… is it? Then… maybe Father or Great-aunt—”
“The Duke is saddened and refuses to eat and drink, and Lady Olivia is angry while eating hard. Ah, she was angry with the Duke, not Miss Laria.”
My heart was pounding and beating the more I listened to his words. It was because his words, not Evan’s, seemed more trustworthy. Besides that, Nathan told me in detail what had happened. Anyway, Evan must have ordered him, ‘Tell Laria everything if she is curious.’
Now that I knew everything that had happened since I left, I could understand why Nathan talked about the assassination when he first saw me.
While the most impressive story was Fred’s kidnapping, Nathan said that Fred was kept at the highest quality, perhaps conscious of my bloodline. Nevertheless, when he looked at Fred, who resembled me, something must have gone amiss, so as soon as he arrived at the Baron’s residence, he was gagged and his wrists tied with a rope.
After telling Nathan, who looked as tired as Evan, to rest, I headed to Sven.
I had to tell the rough truth to Sven, who was looking happy while attending Neo. Even though I couldn’t tell him everything, I had to tell him that I was not a great black wizard. I was just a person who returned in time and had something to do with black magic.
“Sven, what should I do?”
I asked in bewilderment.
“I’m not a black wizard. I just had something to do with black magic. I believe in that possibility and have been with you until now, but I’m sorry.”
So, I thought that Sven was going to explode. I could not awaken as a warlock and take control of this world.
“No.”
However, Sven’s eyes were unexpectedly sparkling with joy.
“The existence that black magic saved.”
His voice trembled with genuine excitement.
“It’s such an honor to have the greatness of black magic by my side.”
I had seen those eyes in a previous life… the look on military geeks’ faces when they saw something like a limited-edition military uniform on TV. Well, just as the military geeks didn’t want war, so these dark magic geeks didn’t want the world to end.
“The world was destroyed once. Oh, it’s beautiful…”
‘…No, he actually wished for the end of the world. It was a deeper desire than I thought.’
Sven couldn’t control his excitement as he spoke that he even breathed hard.
“I have no regrets even if I die now.”
‘In conclusion, you’re a successful fan…’
Well, although Elanie and Seymour’s love was broken, since Sven has come to love the world a little more, the total amount of love that exists in the world would be the same.
“Nyaaa, nyaa.”
Neo, now unable to speak anymore because he was alone without Evan, cried in dissatisfaction. Leaving Sven so happy, I headed for the most difficult person.
It was Fred.
Fred had been sitting peacefully in the second-best room after mine, with the most expensive wine and the most sumptuous food in front of him.
‘As expected, the power of bloodline is scary.’
I swallowed a dry gulp when I saw him, who had a face that looked innocent in the world but was surrounded only by the most expensive things.
Fred was a scholar-type handsome man with slightly curly pink hair, slightly drooping, kind and sparkling purple eyes, fair skin, and round glasses. To be honest, when he showed up with Evan earlier, he looked like a good victim caught by a villain.
Nonetheless, no matter how good his impression was, if he were as grown up as me, he would be someone to be wary of the most.
“Long time no see, brother.”
I smiled and sat in front of him.
“How have you been? If you even got a degree, you must have studied well for your aptitude.”
“Yeah, something like that. Even though it’s a public academy, I graduated top of the class.”
Fred also responded with a mild smile.
“And, I heard your story roughly.”
I was worried about what he heard of me.
“…I heard that you were forced into marriage at the age of fourteen, came to the South for recuperation, and ran away because you fell in love with another man?”
As expected, my uneasy premonition was not wrong…
I hurriedly waved my hand.
“Brother, that’s a bit of a misunderstanding…”
Fred gave a very pitiful look and sighed deeply.
“As soon as I arrived in the empire, I was kidnapped and dragged along in a pitiful way.”
“Don’t lie, I heard it all from Nathan. You were kidnapped, but you came here with the highest level of treatment.”
“…You caught me.”
At my words, he stopped his pitiful expression, pushing up his glasses.
“Still, I hate you for daring to use me so I can’t stand it. As soon as I arrived at the Baron’s residence, I tried to frame you with all kinds of slander, Laria, but it’s a pity that I got gagged right away.”
“Frame, frame me with what?”
“‘Laria! Run away from this crazy psycho right now! I’d rather die here than be a burden to you too!’ I tried to pretend I had gone crazy.”
It seemed that it was a very wise choice Evan made to gag him.
“It’s because he seemed to be trembling because of you. No matter how much I think about it, that’s the most appropriate way to screw him.”
“….”
“After that, when we met again, it seemed like the two of you had already had a conversation, so I gave up.”
“Brother, listen to me for now.”
Fred smiled even brighter, ignored my words, and spoke calmly.
“Now, what should we do now?”
Even though he had a really innocent-looking face, if he listened to the schemes, he was very similar to me.
“I will help Princess Elanie pass divorce laws and get you a divorce.”
…And it was as expected.
I said with a sigh.
“Everything brother is thinking is a misunderstanding, and I will return to Duchy Icard. Evan and I love each other.”
“However, it was a marriage without my consent. Now I’m the head of the house! How cute Laria was, but to get married at fourteen… I can’t send you to that devil-looking guy.”
“Brother.”
I sighed and grabbed Fred’s hand.
“I’m sorry, but now it’s time to get out. It’s already too late to play a fool for the younger sister.”
Anyway, Fred was fine even though in front of my husband, who revived me, my older brother, who had returned after a long time, had a weak presence. Thinking that if emotions wouldn’t work, I’d have to push through with reason so I bluntly continued.
“And you know that the County Rostri has no property, right? Then, is brother confident that you will find a better marriage partner than Duchy Icard?”
Fred replied bluntly.
“Why would you get married? You just have to join hands with me to build the Rostri Dynasty.”
“….”
To be honest, it was true that I was slightly attracted to it, so I quickly calculated it. Regardless, even if it were us brother and sister, I would probably be over sixty years old when the Rostri Dynasty was established.
“I’m sorry. I’m very satisfied with being Lady Icard.”
“…I’m against it. That’s the complete opposite. I can never send you to that b*stard, and I will never accept it.”
“Then, don’t accept it. Nothing will change just because brother doesn’t accept it.”
In the end, I told my older brother, whom I hadn’t seen in years, the harsh reality.
“Though if you don’t accept it instead, you won’t be able to receive this super luxurious treatment.”
“….”
“If you stayed at the East Continent Public Academy… The ten-year dormitory fee there must be about the same as the wine that my brother is drinking right now?”
“….”
“Let’s work well, brother.”
At that, I got up slowly and patted Fred on the shoulder.
“Do you want fish or steak for dinner? I’ll ask the chef for a special meal.”
“…Steak.”
I left the room after smiling at the sullen Fred. However, according to my intuition, it wasn’t like he was completely over it.
‘Let’s appease brother later. He might forget it then.’
That day, the servants of Barony Rabonis were very busy for the first time as suddenly, there were many guests. In the meanwhile, I quietly went into my bedroom and sat beside Evan, who was sleeping.
Evan and Duke Icard destroyed a world for me… My whole life has been a gift from them.
As I thought that, I stroked Evan’s hair and fell asleep.
