Beware of the Brothers - Chapter 1
“Then rest well, my lady”
“Yes, thank you.”
I smiled like usually as the maid who stood at the door bowed politely. And as soon as she left the room I exhaled a deep
breath and relaxed.
Oh, I think I’m going to rest now. I was very tired today because I had a lot to worry about all day.
Perhaps because i just take a bath and a massage to stabilize my mind and body, so my body getting tired and i’m sleepy.
Then, is it my last day with that maid? I was going to leave the mansion tomorrow and never come back.
“Yeah, I have to say goodbye tomorrow morning.”
I muttered to myself, lifting the mug in front of me.
“Oh, it’s hot.”
And a little while ago, instead of drinking
a sip of the tea the maid brought, I was day dreaming and spit out what was in my mouth.
Because tommorow is the day, the inside of my mind is so complex that I sip on the boiling tea without being too careful. If the third son of this house saw me like this, he must have been said,
”Where is the Ernst’s dignity?’
Ugh, as I imagined, my mind got dirty again, but no!
It was clear that tomorrow would be the most important day of my life, so I needed to cultivate my mind in advance.
I put the mug down on the table and raised my head. And I put my eyes on everything I was looking at before the maid came in.
There was a white wedding dress with a dazzling appearance. When the beauty of the pure white was put in both my eyes, my mind began to calm down quickly.
But there was nothing like to calm my stomach. Yes, I was going to wear that wedding dress tomorrow and become a beautiful spring bride.
When I thought like that, I was inevitably a little excited. Isn’t it natural?
It is said that the time of my indignity, which had to endure the brothers of Ernst is now over. When I thought like that, I suddenly felt moisture in my eyes.
Oh god, I wonder are there my story without tears here?
I, ‘Hari Ernst’ was adopted into this family when i was 7 years old, and has been living in the role of a youngest sister of three older brothers for 20 years since
then.
I was adopted into this family after the death of Arina Ernst, who was originally the daughter of the family, and I seemed to have a look that resembled her that they loved.
Adopted to being a noble and wealthy Ernst, it was a luck for me than going back to the alley, but it was also a misfortune to follow.
Because the Ernst couple was the only person that cared for me and they died a year after I entered this house.
From then on, I had to use a wit equal to a dragon to survive from Ernst’s three brothers, who were bothering me in all kinds of ways.
And until today, one day before my wedding, I had to spend years of bloodshed.
I didn’t know how much I had to suffer because of the second and third brother who came to my room with the smell of alcohol last night.
They blabbered on me asking if it was good to get married. Huh, don’t you two want me to gone?
Maybe if you were me, you’re so excited
that you won’t remain after the wedding announced!
Then it turned out that this wedding dress right in front of my eyes was picked by the second brother.
Of course, if I say that I know he picked it, he will jump and take it off from me, but he was loving me enough to take a part in choosing my wedding dress.
Even now, the three-brother only opened their mouth to speak bad words. But still 20 years, It wasn’t that nothing was in vain.
And for that long time, I was pretty strong to hold up with their act. Hah.
Even if someone gives me money, it’s a past i’ll never want to go through again! Rather, tell me to go to the battlefield!
Anyway, so I was in a state of fierce determination that I would never step into this damn house again once I went to marry tomorrow.
To be honest, my marriage was pretty late. My age is twenty seven now. Usually, in this Arlanta, in the early 20s women goes on to marry.
This was also an age worn by an old woman.
Although I belonged to Ernst, the closest family of the imperial family, it seemed that I could hardly catch my marriage because I didn’t have a single drop of noble blood.
But the first brother who inherited this family at a young age was quite succsessful, and the image of the family was good so he was able to marry me off.
Besides, the man who will be my husband tomorrow was a pretty good groom with a decent personality and even after a good family.
I looked around for a moment with a doubtful glance, but it was quiet outside as if a rat was not running around. It’s a little strange.
Yesterday, the second and third brother swept through my room and why is it so quiet today? But, this is actually good.
In fact, until the day before the wedding, I didn’t want to double-play among them, so it was good for me that if they stayed calm.
The first brother since yesterday and today was not appearing in front of me…
Well. I”ll see his face at my wedding or tomorrow.
Even if I wasn’t, I was able to understand this because he was a busy person who was hard to see even once a week.
It’s true that I recently saw his face before the full moon. The last time I tried on a wedding dress, I briefly made eye contact with him standing outside the door.
Although that was all it was. Anyway, he was a cold person. He leave without leaving a word until the end. Thats it.
Still, it didn’t bother me as I was full because the existence of the second and third brother in my life. Even though i have tolerated what he does.
Originally, Eugene, the first brother, had to take my hand in place of the father’s role and enter the hall together, but i dont know what kind of agreement between the three brothers was, eventually it was decided the second will escort me.
I looked back at the wedding dress in front of me. When the white light shine the dress, my heart trembled.
First Eugene.
Second Cabel.
Third Erich.
The past years I have lived in this house with a single body of my own, passed through my eyes like a lantern. Will I finally be free tomorrow? Really?
How can such a dreamyday come to me. I didn’t believe it. I thought I will rotten to bones in the corner of this damn shit house.
“Oh, now i have to say goodbye to this room, too.”
I’m sure i will be able to sleep with a very good dream today. Thinking so, I happily closed my eyes.
And when I opened my eyes again, I was back at the age of seven, where I started a bloody war with the three brothers.
