Chapter 64
Kylian was surprised to see Anais Percival approaching him, who was crouching on the floor. He looked at her, unable to comprehend that she had really come to his room.
“Were you awake?”
“…….”
Anais looked at him as he was troubled. Why would she come all the way here at this time to play a joke? Kylian was already exhausted.
“…….”
Tak.
She closed the door as she came in.
Anais looked helpless and handed the item behind her back to him.
“For you.”
That was the moment.
Rumble!
“Uhk…! Get it away!”
Before Kylian could even recognize that what he saw was a spider, he screamed in surprise at the thunder. He thought she must have come to harass him.
“Hahaha. Are you afraid of spiders?”
“Ugh…”
Anais smiled wryly and placed a spider on top of Kylian’s head.
“D-Don’t do that!”
“Then try saying, the prettiest Older Sis in the world, Anais.”
“I don’t want to…”
“Then I will keep this on your head all day.”
He hoped that she would quickly disappear from his room. As expected, the sweet dream he had seemed to be an illusion.
“Ugh… the, the prettiest Older Sis in the world… A-Anais…”
Kylian wasn’t ashamed to tell her that. On the contrary, the words were jumping out. He knew she was more beautiful than anyone he had ever seen.
The only thing that scared him was his mother’s voice mixed with the thunder. Looking at his reddened face, wet eyes, and trembling voice, Anais stiffened and then walked away.
Shwaaaaa—
The rain was still pouring down hard. He wrapped the sheet around himself and rolled himself up, wiping the miserable tears from his trembling chin.
As he focused on the sound of his heart, covering his ears with his fists, it seemed that he could not hear the sounds around him anymore.
Boom.
“It’s nothing.”
Boom.
“Uht… it’s… nothing…”
Boom.
Until dawn when the rain stops and the thunder doesn’t strike, he didn’t fall asleep.
Items were delivered to him from the palace. Kylian thought that the imperial palace had nothing to give him, but he was told that the sender was the Emperor himself. It was unlike him.
Kylian received a small message that had arrived in front of him and headed to his room. What was inside was a locket necklace.
The room felt darker than usual. Because he knew what the locket necklace in it meant.
“It’s a locket necklace that His Majesty bestowed on Mother when he held Mother.”
“Mother…”
“His Majesty told me to think of him while looking at the picture inside.”
His mother’s image that he saw before drinking the poison was rarely sane. That’s why Kylian didn’t think the necklace was really given by the Emperor. However, looking at the fact that it was passed back to him through the Emperor’s hand.
Maybe the Emperor really gave it to Kylian’s mother. He thought so
“…….”
Kylian smiled unknowingly and opened the locket. There was only one picture inside the two lockets that opened with a click.
“Ha.”
There was no picture of his mother. Both lockets contained only the Emperor’s picture. As Kylian looked at it, he was convinced that the Emperor had never truly loved his mother, not even for a single moment.
If he loved her, there’s no way the picture in the locket consists of only one person. There were two pictures that could fit into the locket. Even so, only the Emperor’s picture was included. It also meant that the Emperor had no picture of Kylian’s mother.
“It’s stupid.”
He said to himself. It was embarrassing that he had falsely hoped that the Emperor might be the kind of person his mother had told me about.
“I don’t know if he even remembers.”
It was clear that the Emperor would not even remember his mother’s face. If he really cared about it, if he really thought of her as a person. He would at least visit since his mother was confined to that cold western tower.
His mother always sent letters to the Emperor, begging even the maids. But she never got a reply.
There were times when Kylian misunderstood that it was because it was not sent. However, after hearing the story from the maids that the Emperor threw away the letter without reading any of it.
He had no hopes for the Emperor.
On the day he confirmed it, his mother also died, so he couldn’t raise new hope.
Rumble!
“Uh…”
Shocked by the thunder, he shuddered and realized that it was his own tears that had fallen on the locket.
He already knew. The emperor did not love his mother, and he really should not have been born according to his mother’s words.
“I shouldn’t have given birth to something like you… ! If only you weren’t born… !”
Kylian remembered his mother who caught him after swallowing the poison and vomiting blood. Her bright red bloodied hand that tore at his shoulder resentfully.
“You ruined my life!”
“Mother…”
“Avenge me! I want you to kill all the bastards of the imperial family!”
“Ugh…”
Kylian shoved the locket back into the box and set it on the bedside table. Then his strength loosened, and he reached his hand out onto the bed and pulled the sheet from the carpet.
He didn’t like that he was crying. It was unsightly.
“I should never have been born.”
Kylian didn’t deny that. If he could choose life, he would never have been born. Life was always a series of pains, and the happy moments in his life were very fleeting.
Even that fleeting happiness for him was unhappiness for his mother.
It was all his fault that his mother died. If he hadn’t been born, his mother would have ended up being just a woman who was embraced by the Emperor and eventually exiled. After the Emperor embraced his mother, he did not visit her again.
If he hadn’t been born that day.
“I should never have been born.”
Grumble… BANG, BOOM!
It was hard to breathe. It felt like her heart was being squeezed.
Creak.
“So you were awake.”
He didn’t know how long she was there. But it was dawn when Anais Percival came to his bedroom. It was only then that Kylian realized that he had endured crouching for a very long time.
“Kylian.”
“Ugh…”
He lifted himself up and looked at Anais. He noticed that Anais looked at him differently from when she was bullying him.
“Why did you come?”
“…….”
“Anais Percival.”
“Kylian. What did I just hear?”
Anais’ voice seemed to tremble at first glance, but Kylian seemed to think it was because he was crying.
“Leave me alone.”
“Kylian.”
Rumble!
“Uh…”
Kylian closed his eyes at the sound of thunder. Then, tears welled up in his eyes and fell.
“Kylian.”
“Please… leave.”
He said it because he couldn’t possibly speak ill of her. Anais was mean to him, but he was grateful nonetheless. The only person in the mansion who paid attention to him was Anais.
But she hates him. After she mistakenly thought he was afraid of spiders, she kept continuing to catch spiders.
“Are you afraid of thunder?”
“…….”
“So what?”
When he saw Anais’ face, who was sitting next to him, the misery he had felt seemed to deepen. She knew nothing about him. To her, he was just a weakling coward afraid of the thunder.
“I did too.”
“…….”
“I used to be too afraid of lightning and thunder.”
He raised his head and looked at Anais. She was smiling at him with a very serious face.
“Be weak, but look like a flexible person.”
Kylian remembered the words of the chief attendant, who had been uttering sympathy for him.
The reason why the princes who came here died was because Anais Percival didn’t like them. That’s why she was a dangerous person, and it was said that she was a fickle person.
Kylian thought it wouldn’t be strange if he died anytime. If he was going to die anyway. Then he wanted to receive the attention she gives him like now. Even if it’s temporary, and it won’t be strange if it disappears anytime.
No one in his life has treated him so warmly. No one cared enough like this.
Her eyes were always looking at him, observing him. No one in the mansion was interested in him, but her eyes were always following him. Just like he does.
“Hold my hand, Anais.”
“Why?”
“Ugh… please hold my hand…”
Kylian looked at Anais’ slightly parted lips and realized that she was agitated by his words.
“The prettiest Older Sis in the world… Please… huu…”
He held her warm hand tightly. Perhaps because of Anais’ hand, who held his hand and said it was okay, he was gradually finding stability.
Grumble… BANG!
It was amazing. It was the first time that he didn’t hear his dead mother’s voice mixed with the thunder.
When he held Anais’ hand, he couldn’t hear it. The curse that blames him and says he shouldn’t have been born.
“Kylian.”
“Huuuh, hiic…”
Kylian’s weeping was very slow, but it was gradually fading away.
“Kylian, I’m so glad you’re here.”
“…….”
He looked at her without answering. Then, as if Anais came to her senses, she spoke again.
“That’s why I’ll bully you.”
The expression on Anais’s face as she said that seemed to be made up.
It was at this moment that Kylian realized her peculiar tic.
Whenever she lied, she would bite her lip.
