Beware of the Brothers - Chapter 32

“Are you hungry? Should I bring you a porridge?”

“Now I’m tired. I want to eat meat.”

“You have to eat, what is going on!”

“No, so I’m not sick…”

I answered Cabel’s fuss that started today and chilled, but it didn’t work for him either.

“What? You want to drink water now? I’ll take it!”

No, I didn’t say that.

As soon like he had waited, Cabel, playing with his burinake feet, lifted a water bottle on the table and poured it into a cup.

Then, it was not a normal fuss, such as he spilling water and turning it over again.

Well, it wasn’t that I couldn’t understand the second brother’s mind.

So he just do whatever he want.

But when I left him alone, it seemed to be getting worse as the days went by.

But not only in the second brother, but also in the first and third.

Since the day at the Hunting Festival, everyone has heard my accident.

It seemed to be a little heartful to me as if I was gold or jade and they were worried about me even when the wind blew to me.

And above all, they treated me like I’m so seriously sick!

Of course, it was true that I was somewhat traumatized by that day’s work, and that I was injured….

Still, they don’t have to overprotect and even keep my hands from dripping water.

Somehow, they seemed very surprised to see the accident in the hunting ground.

At that time, my appearance was a bit awful. I was soaked in blood from head to toe. However, there was not much my blood in it.

The biggest wounds were my bruised shoulders of the beast’s claws, and the rest of my hands or folded feet on the crutches, as well as the slight scratches.

It was not my intention to be in an astounding condition, but I had wandered through the northern section with the dangerous predator.

But from their point of view, It looks like could not be worse.

“Hold, don’t be noisy. Have you forgotten that Hari needs stability?”

Likewise, Erich, who was guarding my side, rebuked Cabel.

“If you want to do anything like that, close the window next to brother. Even a child with a weak body and mind may have a cold. What would you do then?”

“Oh, yes! You’re right!”

But if he know, this guy was a bit more than Cabel. I mean, what’s dangerous outside the blanket? No way.

“I can’t catch a cold just because I opened a window in this weather.”

I grumbled, but both Cabel and Erich did not listen to me.

Cabel always had a very sloppy corner, even so, Erich was honestly unusual.

Besides, he usually hate hunting and blood. Considering that Ethan and Erich came to the forest to find me directly with others….

So I had no choice but to treat myself as they wanted and get stuck in a room and get a haircut.

Eventually I had to eat porridge for lunch that day.

Of course, all kinds of ingredients that are good for the body have been wiped out, and the chef made it with great effort and it tasted good…..

Oh god, but I still want to eat meat!

The reason why I couldn’t argue more strongly because I was pushed by the rice that was not in one of them.

I couldn’t be eating meat this evening. I

ate that thought and ate a porridge wet with tears.

“Hari.”

“Brother Eugene, how have you been?”

At sunset, Eugene returned home and searched for Hari’s room straight away as usual. Hari sits on the bed and gave him greetings.

At other times, she always greet him at the front door.

But nowadays, all of the three brothers have been so sensitive that even if she only opens a visit, Hari has both hands and feet in bed.

Hari noticed that it was a little stuffy, but in the end it seemed like a long trouble if she argue and let them did what they wanted.

“Have you been well off?”

Eugene approached Hari and sat on her bed. A while ago Hari’s hair was a little messy. He reached out and arranged her head and asked.

Then Hari took his hand and sighed a little.

“It’s a problem because I rest so well.”

Eugene smiled happily at her murmur.

In fact, it was the same with Eugene that he overprotected her. However, it was inevitable.

After the hunt, Eugene is like the eyes of others, no matter what. As she said, he never left Hari’s side.

It was two days before he left her to other brothers and went out.

“Did you set a date?”

Hari looked at Eugene’s face for a moment and asked as she passed. After hearing this, Eugene slowly released his hand from Hari’s head.

She was staring at him as if waiting for his reply. Looking at it, Eugene opened his mouth tightly.

“I hope you don’t go.”

His subsequent voice was quiet, but the weight was heavy. His pupils sat as quiet as their voices.

Hari looked into Eugene’s eyes, which radiated cold light. And this time she raised her hand and tangled his face.

“I don’t want you to meet her.”

“I have to go.”

Even with a voice that sounds soothing and soothing, the cold chill on Eugene’s face did not disappear easily.

It was a feeling that the blood of his whole body soared upside down when he recalled the past hunting days.

In the absence of him, she was kidnapped and left alone in the woods where the predators would invade.

Hari, who had managed to wander through the forest as he like crazy searched with the search team, was barely bloody.

Eugene never felt as intense a phobia as he lived. Fortunately, most of the blood wasn’t Hari’s, but it still rebeat his heart.

It was so terrible to remember.

It was Velontia’s maid who brought Hari the drug.

She try to distracted them to not see the bloody Hari who had escaped the forest, and she fell to the point of being unusual.

When Dice, who was suspicious of it, was in looking for the trouble, she first broke out, and eventually threatened to die of imperial deception.

Because of the light in the truth, It was not long before she confesses she got paid by Lavender Cordis.

But he didn’t know what the drug was, and it wasn’t even a proof that Lavender was going to kill Hari.

Rosabella Velontia’s face also became white after hearing the story.

The maid’s disposition passed into the hands of Velontia. Later, when they pursued other servants, he discovered the line of Lavender cordis.

She brazenly escaped from the hunting grounds and returned to Cordis’ mansion.

Eugene directly went to Cordis’ mansion and grabbed Lavender and pulled her out of the room.

The people of Cordis were terribly astonished at him as they watched him in the mansion and suddenly struck Lavender.

However, in the atmosphere of Eugene, who was so bloody, they couldn’t stop him from doing so, and they was only watching.

Lavender Cordis looked at him with shocking eyes, as if she had never thought he would do it, but it wasn’t even funny for Eugene.

She pleaded that everything happened with Rosabella Velontia’s plan, and that she was only accusing her.

He continued to insist that Hari Ernst’s death and herself were not related at all.

As if she was convinced that Hari died in the forest, Eugene’s anger was forced to grow stronger.

Not having killed Lavender Cordis on the spot was a great deal of patience.

“I know what you’re thinking now.”

By the way, it is said that Hari want to meets that brutal woman again.

“But I have to see her once.”

Lavender Cordis was now held in the imperial family.

As this happened at the national event, the Hunting Festival, the imperial family would not pass this incident lightly.

So, if Hari met Lavender Cordis, that day would be the day the judgment was made.

“Before that, it’s never going to end up for me.”

Hari still whispered to him in a quiet voice. Her eyes were firm and straight.

Eugene already knew that he couldn’t stop Hari who showed such gaze.

He grabbed Hari’s hand on his face. Then, put his hand and gently wrapped around her hand and looked silently at the faces he had encountered for a while.

After a while, Eugene slowly opened his mouth, gazing away from Hari.

“I’ll change the bandage.”

Hari quietly watched as Eugene unwrapped the bandage from her.

He can let the maid to do this, but he want to do it himself.

She know why he’s doing this, he want to see how much it hurt, It was because of that.

There was also a scratch on the beast’s claw on her shoulder, but it was not possible to check it off by not removing the clothes, so he only can take care of even the wound on the back of her hand.

Eugene looked silently at the wound on Lavender Cordis’s crutches and quickly moved his hand.

After finishing putting on a new, clean bandage again, he slowly wrapped her hand.

If he give it even a little strength, it will break and he was a very careful with a gentle touch, as if touching a rare glasswork.

“If something was wrong with you, I would probably be dead.”

A small whisper rang in her ear.

Eugene lowered his lips into Hari’s hand, bandaged in a form that felt even sublime as if he was worshiping God.

When someone heard it, they could laugh at the foolish words of a man in love.

But he sincerely cannot live without this person in front of his eyes now. He seemed to become like that.

“I have to live a long time.”

Hari laughed dimly when she heard him. Then, she wrapped her arm around Eugene’s neck and held him first.

Eugene happily held her in his arms.

As she buried her face in the nape of his neck and took a deep breath, a familiar scent penetrated her sense of smell.

The sound of heart pounding and heartbeat rang from their close body.

Eugene listened to the sound.

A long time has passed since then.

“You mean, that brother Cabel, he does that every day?”

I secretly shed a cold sweat at the sound of Louise asking with a shaky face.

Even today, the second of my house started to wander and grunt next to me like a pooping puppy since early in the morning.

He’s afraid to do something to me and he seemed very clear that he couldn’t be indolent.

So, because I couldn’t stand it, I was about to send Cabel out with an excuse to let him take a walk with Penny instead of me.

“How long are you supposed to be in the mansion?”

“Continue until this week. I’m going to go to work again next week.”

The reason Cabel could stick to me like this was because he was dismissed from his ignorance.

After hearing the news from the hunting grounds, Cabel didn’t look back and ran out from the Knights right along the way.

Then, in an instant, he ran to where I was. I was bothered by Cabel, who had been put on probation because of me, but I noticed that he was rather feeling good.

Because he can stay next to me all day without having to commute to the Imperial Palace.

Erich reluctantly returned to the academic institution, and Eugene left the mansion due to the work of Lavender Cordis.

It was about this time.

After that, Cabel was giving me all sorts of care, as if he had been my servant.

He seemed to be feeling some kind of guilt for what I was going through this time.

It seems that the villainous girl did this to retaliate against him.

He said that if he had been sticking around me every day without worrying about useless things, he said that this would not have happened.

Of course, I told Cabel not to be stupid.

Why on earth is this the fault of Cabel? Erich also seemed to regret acting apart from me that day, and Eugene seemed to be reproaching himself similarly to them.

If I left it like this, it seemed like they would dig into the ground without limits, so I called the three people and said a little firmly.

I wanted to say the same thing to Ethan.

However, he was currently under a heavy probation that could not be compared with Cabel.

I insisted that day was not due to Ethan, but Eugene did not reverse his decision.

“Hari. Can I go in?”

At that time, a knocking sound came from outside the door.

I heard a voice leaking inside and noticed without difficulty who he was. As soon as I told him to come in, the door opened.

“Brother Johan, come in.”

Johannes came into the room and smiled at Louise.

“I saw that the carriage is entering, but why are you coming in just now?”

“I met Cabel in front.”

Johannes answered my question of now.

Oh, did he meet Cabel, who went out for a walk with Penny?

“Is your body okay?”

“Yes, I’m almost healed.”

Johannes had come to see me not long ago. After all, it’s due to the hunting festival and it’s afterward works.

The last time I met him, we split up that way, and I was always worried about him, I was grateful that he came first, worrying about me.

Louise also seemed to know about Johannes and my ‘work’, but she didn’t dare say that and was considering the position of the two of us.

“A few days ago, Count Cordis said that he applied for a visit to His Majesty.”

“Yes, I heard it too.”

When Johannes said that, I nodded a little.

They was able to find out what Lavender Cordis had done to the end, because the testimony of the servant, the escort, and the maid followed.

The remnants who helped her to kidnap me to the woods were eventually caught.

Of course, I also explained what I had experienced on the hunting ground to an investigator from the imperial family.

“I’m so glad you’re safe.”

Johannes’s sincere voice laughed faintly.

In the first place, Lavender Cordis will be able to get caught because I live.

She didn’t think about it at all, and it seems like what I thought that she insist Rosabella Velontia was trying to harm me and accuse her when other critics came out.

Of course, I knew that Rosabella was not involved in this matter.

Still, Rosabella seemed to have suffered severely from her maid’s involvement in this affair.

She apologized several times, even when I said I was okay, and said she would strictly guilty of the maid.

It seemed that the Cordis decided to abandon Lavender.

This morning, I heard the news that Count Cordis had asked the imperial family to minimize the damage to the family so that he would give them what they wanted.

He argued for her insanity, saying that Lavender has been lodged in her room for some time now and often has weird behavior and self-talk.

So, it was his explanation that this was a mistake that their daughter who had a mental problem secretly committed, and that it had nothing to do with the family.

The decision on the disposal of Lavender Cordis was not easy.

And I was able to see her in person a few days later.

“Lavender Cordis.”

I was taken by the knights and saw the Lavender Cordis in sight.

There must have been no harsh punishment like torture, but because of being interrogated for a while it makes her face a little emaciated.

“You, you….”

Lavender raised her head to my call and soon opened her eyes.

Her shocked breathe rhymes, which first personally confirmed that I was alive, have been passed down to me.

It was worth it.

She obviously had the intention of killing me in the woods, and she wouldn’t have thought I could come back to life like this.

She should have heard about my survival.

However, it would be different from checking with one’s own eyes.

“Who do you dare to come here?”

After a while, what came to her face was intense anger and contempt.

“Are you here to laugh at me? Do you dare to do that to me?”

She seemed very sorry that I appeared in front of my eyes like this.

Hearing her, Cabel, who was next to me, resentfully grinds.

“Is this crazy thing still out of her mind, did you really want to get away with it?”

At that moment, Lavender’s body visibly trembled. Lavender, which opened her eyes brightly to me, seemed to be afraid of Cabel.

Cabel, with a blood on his neck, approached her with pressure as if he want to slap Lavender immediately, but Erich stopped him.

“Stop it. Last time you left your job site, you even got probation, So you really want to get another this time?”

“I don’t care about that!”

I do care!

Even with Erich’s pressure, Cabel still growled. He seemed to throw Erich’s hand right now and run into Lavender.

It was the very next moment that Erich moved on, leaving him behind.

Slap!

“Oh!”

Shortly after a sharp sound crossed the air, Lavender Cordis fell to the floor, unable to control herself.

“Unlike my brother, I have nothing to lose.”

Erich’s blue eyes shone cooler and sharper than a piece of glass.

Cabel, who had been stolen a chance by Erich, opened his mouth like a fool. I was astonished by Erich’s unexpected behavior.

As if she couldn’t believe, Lavender Cordis, raised her head, holding her cheek that was hit by Erich a while ago.

Erich looked down at her and opened his mouth coolly.

“It hurts? At best, you were hit by one and get hurt? Hari was much sicker than you.”

A chilly voice fell around him.

I approached Erich and wrapped his hand as if calming him down.

“Stop it, Erich.”

I was grateful to know that he was making anger for me.

But it’s not even worth getting his hands dirty.

With that meaning, I gently wrapped his hand around me, and his hand, who was holding his fists crushingly, gradually released his strength.

After that I fell on the floor and quietly opened my mouth towards Lavender Cordis.

“Lavender Cordis, do you have anything to say to me?”

The last question was to ask her, because I would not have to see her face anymore.

Then Lavender shook her eyes and clenched her teeth, then exclaimed with a face full of poison.

“What did I do wrong!”

It seemed to her that the reality she was in now felt quite unfair.

“What to say? What to say? Maybe I’ll apologize to you and ask for forgiveness? Don’t be funny!”

Even in this kind of situation, I see her yelling like evil like this.

“The only thing I regret is that I couldn’t kill you in that forest at that time!”

It was rather reassuring that herself did not even change much compared to her appearance until now.

The currents air of Cabel and Erich because Lavender’s words has changed again.

But unlike them, I was very calm.

“Yes, you’re that kind of human, so it’s all good.”

I joked a little towards Lavender Cordis.

Then I asked to Ethan who next to me my stuff that I had prepared in advance.

Ethan had now been relieved and had returned to my escort post.

Cheolkup.

Lavender’s face changed when she saw the gun in my hand. I ignored it and aimed my muzzle at the person in front of me.

“Wait, wait…!”

Bang!

A loud gunshot swallowed up her urgent voice.

Lavender Cordis had a face like her heart stopped.

The first bullet hit the ground right next to Lavender Cordis’s hand. White smoke rose from the bullet that flew at a high speed.

If it was a little closer, the place where the hole was made was not the ground, but the back of Lavender’s hand.

I stared at her swaying eyes and pulled the trigger again.

Bang!

Taang!

The gun, fired at regular intervals, smelled of gunpowder.

I lowered my arm only after shooting all seven loaded shots.

“Ah, ah….”

Jourleuk.

As if the strength was released from her body, she collapsed her upper body by placing her hand on the floor.

Lavender Cordis look so disrespectful.

Probably, if it hadn’t been for her doing already, I would have hesitated without a look.

Four of the seven bullets were lodged next to Lavender Cordis’s hands and feet on the ground, and three bullets almost grazed her body and flew behind her back.

An intermittent moan leaked between her quivering lips. I noticed that she was stiff.

Seeing it, I slowly opened my mouth.

“Lavender Cordis. I’m not going to kill you.”

All of the bullets I shot resulted in a way out of Lavender Cordis.

However, as the bullet was close enough to pass by on purpose, the fear that was on the verge of death must have been felt.

“It seems like it is a very loving punishment to kill you like this.”

I took the step that had stopped at my foot. Lavender Cordis, who heard my footsteps, shook her head and raised her head.

“Like now, you gonna live unhappy for your whole life.”

Still, her facial expression was enchanted.

“Because of being trapped in your uncle and living a different life from me, you’re endlessly jealous and envious of me, and greedyly cling to things you won’t even have in the future.”

I quietly whispered to her like that.

“No matter how hard you’re struggling, you will never be me, and you will never have a dust of what I have. How endless hell is a life of envy and jealousy for a person you have so despised and ignored.”

I think it is possible to be jealous and envious of others.

But if it’s the reason why she even decide to kill someone else, It was a different problem.

Every time I recalled the terrible memories in that forest, intense anger at the person right now in front of my eyes rose.

“If I thought the punishment that suited you was death, I would have shot you now. I’ve never shot anyone so far, but now I think I can’t hesitate because of you.”

She had no intention of asking me for forgiveness, and I had no desire to forgive her.

Such a person like Lavender Cordis. This was a generous treatment to her.

“I’ve been reminded of that determination once again, so should you be grateful for that?”

Eugene and the other brothers naturally wanted to kill Lavrnder Cordis, but I believed there was a life more miserable than death.

Abandoned by her own family, she had to leave the society and live in a villa on a remote outskirts for life.

She will receive the minimum support only that she will not starve, but more than that she couldn’t do anything.

While she is now living, she will not be able to step out of the door of the mansion.

In addition, she will have to live under surveillance for a lifetime so that she won’t do anything too badly.

It was the punishment given to her to live a life that she couldn’t do until she died.

“Hah, kill me now….”

A gasping voice leaked out of Lavender Cordis’s mouth. She too knows her future would be.

“Rather kill me now!”

I stared at the screaming face of Lavender with a cold feeling.

“What are you waiting for? Shoot me now with that gun… Eugene!”

Then, at one point, suddenly a voice of opposition came out of her mouth.

As I turned my head, I saw Eugene’s approaching where we are.

He visited the emperor to finish the work of Lavender Cordis. Then he came here now.

“Yeah. You, you kill me. Like the people who you ever killed with your hands.”

She cried out at Eugene and made a ridiculous sound.

“And remember me all my life. If I can remain a part of you that way, I’d love to die.”

I got tired of hearing those words.

She’s really crazy.

Could that be called love? A love as the act of destroying both herself and the other. Can it be called love?

“Lavender Cordis.”

Eugene, looking down at the woman clinging to his feet with a bitter glance, soon bent his knees and lowered his body.

Lavender Cordis gave a fascinating expression on his face, facing him up close.

“I’ve known you’ve been around me for a long time, but it’s been a while until I remembered that name.”

However, Eugene grabbed Lavender’s chin with a cold hand that wasn’t warm without any consideration.

“You’re really making a great mistake. You dare to think that you could do it instead of Hari’s in her toes.”

A chilly throat sounded from Eugene’s mouth to the point where his spine was creeping.

His eyes, staring at the person he met, were also extremely cold and sharp, like a sharpened blade.

“The only reason I’ve left you lingering next to Hari so far is because she wanted it. I feel like I want to tear you down with my hand like this. It’s just because Hari decided to spare your life.”

Lavender Cordis, who was receiving it directly from her front, gradually felt a sense of zinc.

Eugene continued to pour out his eerie heartless words toward her.

“If it weren’t for her, you’re no better than dust for me. You’re not worth more than a stone that rolls along the road. But you dare not even know your subject.”

Lavender Cordis jaws hardened.

Oh, his hand that held her slid a little further down.

Eugene grabbed her neck as if he wanted to strangle Lavender right now.

Lavender Cordis gasped and spit out a hoarse voice out from her mouth.

“Well, what the hell is a woman…”

“Even if Hari disappears, you are not even a substitute for her. There is no one in the world to replace her in the first place. She is the only one to me. You can’t be Hari even after you die a few times and be reborn.”

While saying so, Eugene’s hand grasping Lavender’s throat left lightly, soon Eugene took his hand off her and stand up.

“Yes, is it a luxury for you to die in my hand? Then, it would be perfect for you to die meaninglessly where no one knows.”

A voice like a cold sculpture ran through the air.

Lavender Cordis took an unusually fast breath, as if she had actually been strangled by Eugene, and then looked up at him.

In her eyes, a new generation of despair was clear.

“After this time, your existence is completely erased from the world. Struggle miserably once in a state that is neither alive nor dead.”

Eugene took off the gloves that had touched Lavender Cordis and turned around, dropping it on the floor as if throwing away the dirt.

I saw the imperial knights who were watching from the side approach Lavender again.

“Let’s go back.”

Eugene, who came to me, shouted in a quiet voice. His pupils sat low.

It seemed like I knew a little what he was thinking now, so I first reached out and caught his hand.

Then, Eugene, who was squirming for a moment, slowly held my hand together.

We turned to the back of the woman sitting on the floor.

And while leaving the place, he never looked back.
