Beware of the Brothers - Chapter 5
Hari’s POV
Isn’t This The First Time in this
Timeline?
“Father. Mother. I have something to say.”
Shortly after returning to the mansion, Eugene went into the room with the Ernst
couple. I don’t know what he’s trying to say, but I was sure it’s pretty serious.
‘Sorry.’
I remembered a low whisper that tickled my ears while I was on Eugene’s back. I suddenly lost my words to the sudden
apology, but he seemed to think I was asleep.
After that, Eugene said the same words again and again. In the meantime, while he was doing that, I was still listening to the whisper in my ear, as I said nothing.
********
“Well, this is Eugene’s favorite strawberry cake.”
Eugene seemed to have been talking to Ernst for a very long time that day, and
they didn’t leave the room until we all fell asleep.
And, after some time, the atmosphere inside Ernst was slightly changed.
“This is the walnut pie that Cabel likes.”
“Yes!”
Once we all sat around, we had time to
spend together with each other.
“Erich likes chocolate cake with cherries, right?”
“Waah!”
Mrs. Ernst placed a plate in front of Erich, and this time he looked back at her and smiled.
“Hari looked like she like a cheesecake last time.”
It wasn’t a lie. Because! The cake is sacred by itself! I started eating the cake on the plate with my three brothers.
Wush.
I don’t know what the breeze is, but we’re having time for refreshments together. I think the Ernst people originally enjoyed
spending time with each other.
“Mom, I want to eat that strawberries.”
“Only one?”
“Yeah!”
Mrs. Ernst fed Erich the strawberries on the cake.
“Would you like a strawberry too?”
Ernst placed a strawberry on my plate
as well. As I glanced at him, Erich was quietly eating the cake instead of staring at me.
Erich, as the time he spent with Mrs. Ernst increased, then he decrease the amount of ‘poison’ he send to me these days.
Well. If it’s such a useful effect, it might be worth taking this time, too.
I just decided to cancel my thoughts. My mind soon ended, it’s time for me focusing on this damn tea party!
“Madam, Sir Madison came.”
At the end of the refreshment time, Butler Hubert visit us.
“I must go.”
“I’ll be there,” said Mr. Ernst.
They went to see the doctor who has been examining Mrs. Ernst for a while. Another change in this life was this.
The Ernst couple recently explained that Mrs. Ernst’s body was weak and being healed, but for some reason I was a bit suspicious, but I didn’t express my feelings because I didn’t think there was any reason to hide it if they wanted to hide it.
The story would have been different if the Ernst couple’s death, scheduled for half a year, was related to their illness, but it was
certainly an unexpected accident.
Thinking over there, I was a bit subdued. The effect of their death on this Ernst family was enormous. Can I stop them from dying this time?
“Hari.”
I raised my head to Mrs. Ernst’s approach. Then she sat down with her knees in line with my eye level and gave me something.
“That candy no longer will be given to you,
but here it is still a gift.”
It was egg candy with shiny sugar powder.
That candy, was it the yellow candy I lost to Eugene last time?
I stared at Eugene who’s sitting at the head of table as he just sat there and
watched us.
“Thank you.”
“Be in good term with other children from now on okay?”
I squeaked my nose as I was a little embarrassed by the gentle touch of my head. Mrs Ernst is the only one who ever touch me like that.
Rather, after giving candy to other brothers, she left with her husband. I immediately smashed the candy and ate it. I have to eat it before someone takes it.
“Erich. Lend me your toy.”
“No. You can play with yours, brother.”
“I’m tired of mine! And I lost half of what I did last time.”
Uhuk!
Damn! But at that very moment, I didn’t even chew on the candy, but I froze and stuck.
“What happened, Miss Hari?”
Butler Hubert, who stood like a shadow next to me, looked at me and asked. Only then, the three brothers seemed to notice my strangeness.
Soon, Eugene started to stand up and started to come to me.
Huft. Uhuk. Huek. I had something like a rock in my mouth as I was just sitting there.
“Spit out.”
Eugene reached out to me to see what id wrong. No, spit what I ate in your hand right now? That, that’s a little.
“Spit it out quickly.”
But Eugene was only once again asking.
Well if you want me to do that. I rolled what was in my mouth to make it as clean as possible, then spit it out in his hands in front of me.
Eugene’s soon confirmed what was in his hand as his forehead frowned.
“It’s the baby tooth,” said Butler Hubert, reworking his eyeglasses.
“Would you like to open your mouth for a moment?”
I opened my mouth with a feeling of embarrassment, and I finally showed it to Hubert and Eugene.
“Hehe hehe! She has a hole in her teeth!”
I forgot my age. At the age of seven, it was time to miss out a teeth.
After chewing on a candy and experiencing this shocking thing, I inevitably led to a life missing my teeth. Cabel teased me everytime he saw me and made my tendon stand on my forehead.
“Cabel. You have had that time,too.”
Surprisingly, it was Eugene who took my side, but Cabel was stunned at me, even with Eugene’s current dismissal.
“No, no? I don’t remember that?”
I really want to beat you.
“You know what? You look so stupid now,” said Erich, laughing at me with missing teeth.
Ugh. This is humiliation! Why is my front teeth missing now! The impact of losing my front teeth at the age of 27 was very great.
I was disappointed and stayed depressed for a while, but after about a full month I was able to gain confidence again.
“I have one hole, but you two?”
Because Erich’s front teeth were missing.
He stayed on his mind for a while, as if he had been in a very deep despair, but Erich was a little annoyed because he was struggling and rambling.
After that, Eugene told him that getting a teeth missing means that you are becoming more and more adults. Then, he’s getting better.
Unbelievably, peaceful days have passed for a while. Of course, the truth is, sometimes I have flipped over my mind wondering about time, but it still surprises me.
It was one calm day. “Would you like to invite the Vastia this hunting season?”
Then one evening, Mr. Ernst made a sound that could spark my eyes. What? Vastia is my future husband!
“A letter I received a long time ago is saying that they’re looking forward to hunting a silver fox in Ernst.”
“But if you are unwilling, I will refuse the
visit again.”
“No. It’s been a while since Ernst has a guest for quite some time.”
Duke Ernst stared at Mrs. Ernst as if it was okay, but she only seemed to smile.
“Don’t worry too much. I’ll help greet guests.”
“Thank you, Eugene.”
I think the conversation is going to hunt for a silver fox before this winter.
There was no other reason, but they’re going to invite them directly to the mansion during this hunting season.
Somehow, things that were different from my memory continued to occur in Ernst. Is this good or bad?
“I don’t know if the children of Vastia might come along. They might be friends with you.”
“Okay.”
“I think Vastia’s eldest son was the same age as Cabel.”
But I decided to simply think that the change’s good. The child is my future husband. I’m curious about that!
‘I’m Johannes Vastia. It’s an honor to meet you, Miss Hari Ernst.’
The first time I saw him was after my marriage was half decided.
Why do I say ‘half-way’ is because, surprisingly, Eugene gave me the final decision on this marriage, so I decided to make an appointment for the first time.
Johannes Vastia was a well-groomed man with dark blue eyes with a deep feeling.
‘It is my first time to greet you in person like this.’
‘Have we met somewhere before?’
‘Miss Ernst probably didn’t know me,
because I’ve only been out at a distance,’ he said.
Johannes Vastia smiles. He was a man who never forgets the consideration and respect for the other person throughout the conversation.
I met him twice and decided to proceed with this marriage.
In fact, I didn’t have a lover or any other fantasy in marriage, so I was just thinking that it would be okay to marry Vastia if he was a decent man, but in fact, he was a good, no, a very good groom.
But, the first thing is, why was the man still unmarried?
I smirked my head on the question for the ‘second time’, and I had to sleep over at the thought of ‘What did Eugene do?’ To that extent, my spare groom was amazing.
As much as I had to look at the wedding dress every day! By the way, I am now 27 years old, not 6. Ugh! What the hell is
this!
“Mr. Butler!”
While holding onto the wall and grieving, I saw butler Hubert in front of me, and I ran to him.
“Hari ate cucumbers today! I also ate two unsavory broccoli!”
I said so and put out my head blatantly.
“Well done.”
“Hehe.”
I felt a touch sitting on my head and I
laughed. Honestly, at this age, It’s embarrassing, but it doesn’t
matter! I am only 7 years old now!
And the last time I felt when the butler uncle, Mr. Hubert, stroked my head, it was better than I thought to be praised by an adult like this.
For this reason, I was a little hesitant.
They still treat me with a good care, but now I was a child of 7 years old, so it was difficult to behave like a child who knew nothing.
It had nothing to do with the sense of incongruity I felt the other day, but maybe the fact that I came into this house and shared the affection of the Ernst couple was not an irreversible childhood scar for my three brothers.
I was wondering why.
At that time, I also didn’t know because I was young, but as I saw it with the eyes of a 27-year-old, they were young enough to not have a care from their parents.
Of course, right after I thought, I felt very strange. The three brothers were always the ones who boasted an overwhelming presence like any other adult to me…
Brother Erich, who was seen through the eyes of an adult, was just an insane little kid seeking the affection of his parents.
So, after realizing it, no matter how much they spoke mean things to me, even if
they stepped on or stepped over me, they were just annoyed for a moment, and they didn’t even think that they were seriously angry or taking revenge.
Instead, I was a little disorganized in a different way. Obviously, I was only obsessed with the thought of wanting to take revenge on the three of them.
But it was until the situation was unclear
whether it was a dream or a reality. Seeing Erich who being stubbornly like a child want to sit next to Ernest’s wife.
And when I saw a Cabel that seemed to give up too easily in one word of my words, I was like a tyrant.
Also, when Eugene, who left me and disappeared, came back with his messy face and reached out to me.
It was as if a piece of scales that had been covered in my eyes had been taken apart.
Honestly I’m Ernst since I was taken from that back alley.
The couples were saving me by reaching their hands on me, but that could not mean the same thing to the three brothers.
The Ernsts were not my parents, but my brother’s parents, and in that sense, I was about stealing their share of affection for
about a year.
That’s also when they need the most adult care.
I haven’t lived without knowing that for the past 20 years, but when I came back to my 7-year-old body and witnessed the work of this time with both eyes, the realization really struck me.
Of course, that is why the brothers were
so mean to me.
I didn’t forget what they had done, and I still wanted to beat them one by one, but now I can’t figure out who to express my feelings to.
So I prayed again when I had another chance. I want to go back! Into the original time I was living! To the world of 20 years after the damn guys I know of!
So after this outing I know there was a lot of time for me to drenched in this empty feeling.
The three brothers have since greatly reduced the amount of wickedness that touches me, as the changing in ernst since that day, and the mansion calmed down at first glance.
“Trash, You’re really have to play with me today! Quickly!”
Of course, Cabel still bothered to play with me. I said something annoying toward him.
“Why do I have to play with someone who calls me with such a bad nickname?”
“Well. You sounded like that right? Even if that were the case, didn’t you like it?”
“You call me trash. When someone throws trash in, it just stays in the trash can until someone gets rid of it right? So I can’t play with you, brother.”
“Ah. Because, even if I just stand still, I have done all of my work as garbage.”
“Ugh!”
“So I have to sleep a little bit like a trash now. My brother can playing with other people, not a trash.”
When he heard my words, the simple Cabel shook his eyes as if he had gained enormous enlightenment. I lay down on the sofa, leaving the second behind.
“Oh, okay! I’m not going to say you’re trash now! It’s not you! It’s okay?”
“Yes, no.”
I refused refreshingly and turned back. The second brother screamed and yelled, but it wasn’t my fault.
I couldn’t sleep well because of my thoughts last night, and now my eyelids continued to fall.
The firewood in the fireplace was burning with sparks. I slowly blinked my eyes to see someone sitting in front of me.
I still couldn’t find out who the person in front of me was, because I was still
asleep, but I soon realized who it was.
“Brother Eugene, when did you come?”
Of course, if you are the Eugene I know, you will take my hand again as always.
He just looked at the it and didn’t catch it first, but I couldn’t shake my hand that reached out to him. Since when Eugene is in here.
The Eugene I know, when I reached out, he take it as he silently looked at it with still eyes as if he had hidden something that I didn’t even know.
“When I came, you didn’t wake up.”
“No…”
I mumbled again in a hazy voice, awakened from sleep. However, the following voice was not the low-pitched voice I know. I raised my head, Frowned and rubbed my eyes.
And looking back, I saw that young Eugene was staring at me with embarrassed eyes. At the moment, my mind awoke.
Oh, what. That’s 12-year-old Eugene? I thought it was Eugene in the future for a moment because I’m still half asleep.
I was reaching out pretending to be friendly to him without knowing it.
“Why? Why are you here?”
“My mother has asked me to see what you’re doing, but look like you’re asleep.”
So, do you put firewood in the furnace to keep me from cold? What are you doing?
“If you woke up, come down. It’s dinner time soon.”
Then, does this person have a different attitude toward me after the outing?
Now he don’t even say that he can’t admit me every time he see me, or word like I can’t accept things like you, and, of course, that didn’t mean that I wasn’t just trying to read him, but he wasn’t even open to reading.
I didn’t know, but it seemed clear that what happened on that day wasn’t too small for Eugene.
It looks like the Eugene I know and Eugene in front of me is a little similar now.
“Let’s go together.”
I woke up on the sofa and followed Eugene, who was leading the way first.
If it were 20 years later, I would have pretended to be close and smiled and grabbed that hand first. Hmm. But now, for some reason, I’m a bit curious.
I glanced up at Eugene’s face as he was walking slowly, struggling his step because ofme. Should I just pretend to be crazy and grab his hand?
Hup!
Immediately after that thought, I moved with action and grabbed Eugene’s hand.
Startle! Then Eugene stopped walking.
“Why?”
I pretended to know nothing and looked innocently into his eye. Are you going to shake me off Eugene? Are you going to?
Will you going to shake off me who’s holdingyour hand right now? Eugene’s chin shook once.
His expression is ‘Why is she being like this?’ or It was like saying, ‘What’s this really?’ It seemed to be like that.
Of course it may not be both, but anyway, it seemed certain that he was very embarrassed by my actions now.
Still, it didn’tfeel like he was going to shake my hand right now, so I stand still.
“I’m hungry. Are we not going to eat?”
And when I grabbed his hand first, Eugene flinched again and started walking along with me.
Then I walked in front of Eugene’s who’s like he’s being half-dragged. A funny figure was formed in Ernst which is Eugene held my hand and dragged by me.
I noticed that the maids passing through the hallway looked at us and laughed and
smiled. Behind my back, Eugene seemed to feel something subtle.
Originally, when I first take Eugene’s hand this way, it was when he was 16.
“Oh, they hold hands like that. It’s nice to see you coming in together.”
“Now I see that Eugene and Hari are in good term.”
Hohoho. I like you. Stupid uncle. There can be no such thing.
While the Ernst couple turned their heads toward Eugene and me, the brothers stealed the snacks on the table and expressed a questioning expression, ‘Why are they holding hands?’
On the other hand, Erich was raising his eyes again. ‘Even though she just pretended to be close to my brother, I didn’t like it.’
The third complaint was quickly expressed to me. After dinner time, while scattered into our rooms, someone stepped on me as I went up the stairs.
I fell on the stairs and fell over my legs at the corner of the stairs. Oh, bloody hell! Really!
lErich! What do you do when you step
on the stairs?”
I became a bit confused to know that Eugene stand in my side and raised me up. Besides, even when Erich was in front of me for the first time!
“It wasn’t on purpose.”
You blow away my vain agony for a while.
“Erich, I saw everything from behind.”
“Why are you like that? Well, do you want to scold me for her falling over?”
I was embarrassed by that thought, I spit out a runny nose and pulled Eugene’s
sleeve.
“Brother, I’m okay.”
I rather pretend to be good and let Erich get away.
lDon’t be mad at Erich, brother Eugene.”
While I’m doing that, the third one is standing without feeling any remorse! After rubbing my nostrils, I tried to go past him.
Just then, I flashed my eyes and moved
my body at the speed of light.
Bruk!
Erich got caught on my feet and fell on the stairs just like I did before.
“Erich!”
Eugene seemed embarrassed by what I did, and hurriedly approached the third. I laughed at him as I watched Erich scream and get up with Eugene’s support.
“You can’t avoid a single thing like that, stupid. Huh? Why are you staring at me like that? You’re a bad thing. I didn’t do anything wrong.”
I just returned back to what Erich had done to me in ancient times. Like me,
blood was coming out of his legs.
Whether he was frightened by it or because the injured place hurts, Erich was tearing his eyes while staring at me.
Yes, I know how painful it is to just fall over and get a leg. So take a look, man! I walked towards Erich as he look like he couldn’t believe it.
“Erich, are you going to cry now? Did you cry?”
“Kh!”
Erich was look like about to die because the embarrasment. He was a kid when I saw him fluttering like this.
No matter how hard you try, a lump of shit likeyou wont get me!
“Hugh. Be careful from the next time. My ankle is fragile, and if you don’t avoid it properly, it will hurt you.”
And if you mess with me! I’ll give you a fuck!
“I’ll go now as you seem well, huh?”
I shook my head as if he was pathetic toward Erich, then climbed the stairs
first. The sound of his anger rising from behind.
I heard it, but I walked gazing forward, feeling a little regretful. Wicked little thing!
“Oh, Hari!”
Mrs. Ernst shouted at the red liquid flowing down my clothes, but the party who had long caused a major catastrophe to me suddenly ended.
“I’m sorry. Suddenly my arm was losing power.”
“Erich! I told you to sit still and eat. How could you do this? If we wipe the
tomato juice, it’ll leave a mark.”
It’s the most beautiful clothes I picked because my future husband is coming!
“You’re going to have to change into different clothes, Hari.”
I walked along with Mrs. Ernst and tried to slander Erich, who was falling for joy. Since that last day, the third and I have been going through childish prank.
If Erich did anything to me, I would pay the same, and then he would revenge me
again. Of course, if he retaliates against me, I will never go over and revenge twice.
Naturally, I never wanted to do this childish thing. But just as it was, the third one was terrified.
However, I also felt somewhat reluctant to make Erich hit me by making high-quality things to adults, so I had no choice but to face him.
Then we both had no day to cut off the small wounds.
So the Ernst couple naturally noticed our condition, and as expected, Erich was scolded more than I was.
Since then, the third has tormented me in a more subtle and more childish way, in place of reducing the harm to my body.
Of course, Erich’s actions didn’t really make me angry, but they made me annoyed for a moment. Ugh!
But I can’t forgive you today for trying to ruin my sacred first meeting with my
prospective husband like this!
I wondered what kind of big and beautiful
shit I should give him.
“Even with this clothes you are pretty. Yes, we know Hari is so cute and pretty.”
Even if I wear anything, Mrs. Ernst says
my new clothes pretty and compliments them. Better, yes. First, let’s put
off revenge later.
Ugh, take a little deep breath. It’s like this is the first time I meet my future husband, so I’m nervous.
“It is said that the Vastia carriage has just entered the front door.”
Wow! As soon as Butler Hubert announced the arrival of Vastia, I hurriedly checked my dress once again.
Since it’s my future husband, it’s not bad to show well from the beginning! From the side, Erich said,
“Why the trash do that.”
I didn’t know, maybe I was making a funny expression, but as of now, there was no third brother in my mind.
Eugene was about to leave first with Duke Ernst to greet them, as Cabel was eagerly picking up cookies on the table.
“Well, guys. Get up and be ready.”
We went out into the hallway with Mrs. Ernst. After the whole family of Ernst gathered on the first floor, the door was opened shortly before time passed.
In the meantime, it is an exciting smile that welcome us by Countess Vastia.
“That’s true, Ernst’s scenery is superb to see at any time.”
Count Vastia, who was supposed to be my future father-in-law, had a consistently bubbly character 20 years ago or later.
A man in his thirties, with short, blond
hair and green eyes, smiled gleefully at the Ernst couple.
“Thank you for inviting us.”
“Welcome. I was waiting. It’s been a long time since I met you both.”
On the other hand, Countess Vastia was a beauty with a shy smile like a single flower.
I shook my head by myself after seeing her graceful melody and the light blue hair that look like somewhere, and the dark blue eyes.
Well, I’m glad my future husband resembles his mother.
“Yeah, so you’re Eugene. You look like yout father and you look so mature.”
“Thank you.”
Countess Vastia turned to us after ending an eloquent greeting with the Ernst couple.
“The second, he was eating sweets just a while ago. I saw the crumb on his cheek.”
“Huk”
Cabel began to brush his face as he heard at the words of Countess Vastia, who was
smiling mischievously.
The next target was Erich and I. We greeted the Countess Vastia as we were educated before the guests came.
“Hello.”
Then Countess Vastia laughed and leaned at us.
“Hahaha! It’s time for both of them to miss their teeth. When I see that there is no front teeth side by side, I remember when my child was young. They are so cute.”
Another damn thing! Countess Vastia made a statement that touched both Erich and my complexes at the same time, shocking us together. Yes, damn it.
It turns out that I have to meet my prospective husband with no front teeth! Such a shameful thing!
By the way, why are there only Count and Countess Vastia and no kids? Did they come without them? Sigh. I wish they would!
“It looks like you’re really twins.”
And that word seemed to be a surprised for other Ernst families as well. Everyone’s eyes were nailed to Erich as the third ran off.
“Erich!”
Ernst’s hand was stretched out and he
jumped up the stairs. At that point, Count Vastia apologized nicely for any enlightenment.
“I think I made a wrong word.”
“The third one was still young.”
The adults were all making a bitter expression together.
“It’s okay.”
“Alas. I am fascinated by the cool snowman outside.Who made it?”
“Me!”
“Cabel. You should say, “I made it.””
“Haha. Then won’t you go outside and play with our kids for a while? Our first is the same age as you.”
Cabel ran to outside as he hear what the Countess said. Ah, it feels like something is just sweeping in front of me.
“My pretty little lady’s name is Louise. Wouldn’t you be a sister to our daughter
while in Ernst? The child is one year younger than Hari.”
I looked intently and said,
“Yes.”
I went to face them and nodded without my knowledge.
“Hari. If you’re going outside, let’s go out in outerwear. Would you bring a coat to Cabel?”
“Yes, I will.”
I heard Mrs Ernst and went up to the second floor. Then, after packing up Cabel’s coat, I hesitated for a while before stopping by at the playroom.
“Woof woof!”
“Penny.”
Penny ran to see me and waved her tail. I whispered to Penny, stroking the soft gold hair.
“I’m good. I’m leaving Erich to you because I’ll let you out of the room. Okay?”
A smart penny ran straight to Erich’s
room as soon as I released her collar. I was able to get up with a slightly lighter heart than before.
This time it was my turn to bring the coat to the second brother. When I think about it, why am I doing something like a nanny to those guys?
The door knob was pulled out as I try to open it.
“Oh!”
But just then, something came in with a white snowflake through the open door. I stumbled back in an unelegant way. Ugh, my ass! Who the hell is that?
Who stands outside at the door without knowing who might open it! I lifted my head while writing an impression. Immediately in sight, his eyes closed with his mouth wide open.
Buk!
Snowflakes slipped on his light blue hair like cotton candy and fell off my stomach. His eyes, looking embarrassed, were deep blue like the deep sea.
It was a little boy who fell on me at the same time he opened the door. And I definitely knew this face.
“Oh, over there.”
Hey, this kid is going to marry me.
“I’m sorry!”
“Hey! Take this!”
I was primarily amazed at the fact that it was my future husband who was hitting me now, and the next moment I flew into
his head and was amazed once again by the broken snowball.
As I looked back, it was Cabel who was throwing snowballs over here as if he had won. Ah! That one! Don’t bother me and My (future) husband!
“Oh ha ha ha! You can’t avoid this one, aren’t you stupid?”
As I listened to Cabel’s frivolous laughter, I gradually began to stand on my foot.
Even though we were all in our indoor clothing, it was a gesture of vigor, as if we
couldn’t feel any cold.
From a distance, I noticed a young girl with sky-blue hair staring at us with Cabel, look like she’s in a panic.
Maybe it was a daughter who was one year younger than me said by Mr. Vastia.
However, looking at her eyes, it was clear that he thought that Cabel was not a good friend.
Ugh, why, shame in me! Why should I be embarrassed like this because the second brother act like a tyrant!
“Huh heh! You can’t move like a fool, right!”
Oh, when I heard the second voice and
looked again, the boy who seemed to be 100% sure that he was Johannes Vastia was getting attacked by Cabel as it was.
This is my man! Look, this coolness that he can’t hide even as a child…….
“Stop it now!”
But the moment the crying voice leaked out of the boy above me, I lost my words.
“This is too much. Ugh. I surrendered, I said…..”
Pshh!
“If you lose, silently get punished!”
“Oh!”
What’s going on both of them? White powder began to scatter again in the field of sight after Cabel threw the snow bomb again.
I looked a little vaguely at the sight of the
boy crying again in that cloudy sight, would this boy be Johannes Vastia?
What, what. This personality distance between childhood and
adulthood..
“Hehe! Idiot! Can’t you avoid this one?”
The second brother kept telling him while I was in shock.
“Don’t do it! You’re bad!”
Then the girl with the sky-blue Merika Rock hair, who stood far away, cried out,
crying as if she was inadvertent to Cabel’s relentless attack, but the desperate cry of the little girl soon fell into the air with hiccups.
It disappeared.
“Hey, do you want to get this too? Why do you keep getting in when I’ve not been watching you earlier?”
“Don’t touch my brother!”
“Yes. You’re gonna have it right now, I told you first.”
“Oh!”
Wow, I’ve watch you from the start, so it’s getting more spectacle, right? This
situation is very distracting.
“Take it!”
And that second brother! I want to lie down and beat the asshole about a hundred time!
At first, I was a little surprised at the impression that was different from my
expectation, but when I saw Johannes Vastia who kept crying and protecting me to the end, something was getting salty.
By the way, that second brother….
“Please wait a minute.”
“Oh. Come on, wait a minute!”
On the other hand, how innocent that second brother is! You’re just attacking someone who isn’t even defending from behind!
Besides, my future husband is nobody else! I can’t forgive him! I stand up from my place while Cabel stopped briefly dropping the snow bomb.
“Haha! Nobody can win this Lord Cabel… Kuek!”
I laughed so that I could see the uvula
and ran full speed toward the second, who celebrated his victory.
Cabel was vigilant and fell out after my hitting and shoving back. If the shock hit by my body is too great, the scream when he’s falling over is like a pig.
While buried in white snow, the second brother couldn’t wake up for a while. Vastia’s siblings were surprised and their eyes wide open as they’re staring at me.
Ah, it’s quiet around now. After a while,
Cabel awakened, and opened his mouth towards me as if he could not believe it.
“Now, are you hitting me now? Didn’t Dad never hit me once? You?”
You are the first one who hit me! This is so fresh!
“You seem to liked it!”
Is that just like a story from an old romance novel? Cabel had a vicious eye that seemed to tear and kill me in a short time.
No matter how vigilant I was, I was tempted by the fact that he was swayed by me, and the shape of the ball went back and forth.
Ugh. Actually, it was just an impulsively thought without thinking about the consequent, but it seems to have touched the pride of my second brother.
I feel like understand their feeling. I also wanted to hit Cabel to my heart’s
content, but then I was relatively weak and I would have been beaten by
him then.
Damn it. What if it is absurd? Even if I eat a few confections for a few months, I am still small and fragile.
I looked toward the second with faded tears and wondered if I could trick him.
“What are you talking about, Brother Cabel! Of course, I was so happy to see brother Cabel that I just ran like that! Look at this. I’ve got a coat because I’m afraid you’re going to be cold.”
“What, coat?”
“Yeah! You shouldn’t catch a cold.”
A simple Cabel had a long, grumpy look on my words. Are you worrying about going wrong again?
“Oh my. Our Brother Cabel, you’ve
had a hard time having a snowball fight. I’m so tired of my legs and I’m falling. Come on, I’m going to shake your snow off.”
“Ouch!”
“You got a lot of snow behind, brother! I’m going to brush it off well!”
Whenever I smacked Cabel’s ass like a drumstick, white snow flew around like fog.
“Hey, I can’t shake it off. I think it’s because my hand is too weak.”
Ugh. Yeah, but I’m glad you’re still easy like this.
“Oops, let’s go in now.”
“Aren’t you want to keep playing?”
“We’re gonna eating a cake in the hall. There’s a cake that you wanted to eat from before. Erich said he wanted it, a dragon decorated on top?”
“Ugh! That’s my dragon! No way!”
I lied, remembering the dragon-shaped sweets on the cake that the second
brother was obsessed with before.
Then Cabel ran into the mansion like a wind. I just looked down at the hand that had been hitting the second brother’s ass with a sad eye.
Ugh, now that I know the texture, I can’t
undo it!
What excuse I need to hit him next time?
I recalled the feeling of hitting that I had just felt before, and then came to the spot where Cabel left, so I approached the remaining brother and sister Vastia.
“We’re also going to go in….”
But I soon stopped looking at the eyes I
met. Why, why are you staring at me with such lustrous eyes?
“Why, isn’t it cold? Would you like to go inside?”
“Yeah!”
Not the girl, but Johannes Vastia was staring at me with a twinkling eye like a puppy.
“Well, um. Can I hold your hand?”
Then the boy’s reminded face bloomed.
“My, you want to hold it?”
“Oh, yeah.”
Am I not younger? Then why do I feel like an older sister?
“Thanks….”
His shy face blushed, the moments he grasp my hand, and my enlightenment suddenly passed through my brain.
This, this is not it! A knight who saves a maid or a warrior! Where is myprospective
husband!
“Hey… what’s your name?”
“Uh, Hari.”
“I’m Johannes! Call me Johan. Uh, can I call your name too?”
“Oh yeah.”
You’re really Johannes! But he was as shy as a flower. Looking at it, I was a bit frustrated by the gap between Johannes Vastia and the boy in front of me.
I always see a calm and neat looks of my prospective husband! Of course I’ve seen it just twice!
Still, my prospective husband, who always seemed to protect me doesn’t seem like this! Of course I know I only met him twice! Ugh!
“Hari.”
But my mind didn’t last that long.
“Your name is pretty, Hari.”
The moment Johannes looks at me with blue jewel-like eyes and smiles with a
bent eye, I was shocked by a new kind of shock I had never experienced before.
Huk, what is this pretty smile?
Oh, no. I feel like I’ve opened my eyes to something dangerous, something I didn’t even know about now, as I was holding onto Johannes’ hand.
“My, I’ll protect you!”
What am I saying now! I was shocked by the words I shouted unconsciously and
screamed inwardly. Johannes look like he don’t know what I mean.
He was blinking both his eyes, but soon he looked at me and laughed at my word,
then I soon felt like something would be good.
“Yes. I’ll protect you too!”
What else does it matter? This man is just good and gentle, and he knows how to take care of his woman! I feel like I need to turn it on different way for some reason….
That’s right, it’s going to be alright. It’s the truth that I survived alone amongst the guys. Ugh damn. But for some reason, tears….
“Are you and this sister getting married?”
asked Johannes’ sister, who was staring at the two of us right next door. Ah, I forgot her presence.
But Johannes suddenly put my hand down as if it were a firewood, and then began to shake his hands and whisper.
“Oh, ah, no! It’s not a marriage. What is that! Oh no, I don’t mean it! I, I just!
No, I am not! Ugh, uh!”
Then he blushed alone, and then, for some reason, he slipped alone and fell back. In the turmoil again, snow scattered in the air began to spread on him.
I looked at him and thought pitifully. Ah. Maybe my future husband is a shame…
*******
Um. I sneaked secretly in front of a great roasted duck prepared for dinner. No matter how hard I tried to ignore it, it was out of my power.
Yes, my face is tingling throughout the meal time, but I have no choice but to pretend I don’t know why. This because he’s staring at me! His sister too!
“Huh. This is true. My kids are very interested in Ernst’s little princess.”
Indeed, it wasn’t just me who noticed that blatant gaze, Count Vastia laughed at me over dinner.
No, Uncle. For you it might be fun, but I’m a bit burdened with this situation.
Damn. In his words, Johannes again shyly bowed his head with red cheeks, but nevertheless the intermittent pauses of me did not stop.
His sister, Louise, was biting on a fork and staring at me too.
Okay. Both of the young Vastia sitting at the table and staring at me fiercely throughout the meal were the brother and sister Vastia who I met outside.
They pushed a bite of rice of Ernst’s masterful chefs to their mouth, and then looked at me.
They had another bite of rice, then looked at me once, and had already done this over and over again.
So I wasn’t sure if the smoked duck I was eating was going over my mouth or over my nose.
“I also said that Johan and Cabel are the same age. I was expecting them to be good friends. Hahaha!”
Tuk!
At that very moment, the dishes fell off Johannes’ hands. Poorly, his face had become alert, as he wasn’t able to believe what his father had just said.
As soon as he mention the second one, he look like he remembered the squeezed of snow bomb ruthlessly!
“I hate him!”
“Louise. You should call him brother.”
“I hate him!”
“So, Louise…”
“I don’t like it!”
Whether the screams were really hoarse, or even Vastia wife, was about to lose a word.
The grown-ups were wondering if the innocent Vastia children reacted as sensitively as they did, because of what the hell Cabel did outside.
Of course, a suspicious gaze was given to Cabel. He looked down on his plate as he was tearing a duck with his bare hands and eat it alone.
“Woah, ah, ah, ah, ah (oh? that leg is mine!)”
When he realized that people’s eyes were on him, he even shoots the legs of duck
in his chubby cheek in front of me with a watchful glance.
Hey. No one gonna steals it, you bastard!
It’s embarassing! It’s not that you don’t take a attitude class separately, but right now you look like you don’t have any manner.
You dismantling the duck with your bare hands. Ugh. It seemed to be believed If it said you live in back alley before.
It look like the Ernst couple was starving you for three days!
“Cabel.”
The Duke Ernst nodded as if he was in trouble and called the name of the second
one, but in the midst of that, when he saw Cabel, who was innocently tearing his leg, he seemed to be shocked.
Damn it, I know that feeling.
Whenever I saw this three pieces of shit in Ernst, there were many things that make me became so speechless!
Looking at it like this, I seemed to have some kind of sympathy to the second brother.
“Cabel is usually full of energy, so it seems that there was a part that was overlooked when they were playing outside.”
lNo. Rather, I was concerned because Johan is a man and he’s really shy.”
I wonder if everyone will grows up while being hit. No, Mister! It wasn’t an equal fight like ‘hit and hit’! How pitiful! I ached when my uncle’s son got hit by Cabel!
My heart aches.
“My kids seem to particularly like Hari, so keep playing with them while we’re here okay Hari?”
“Um. Yes.”
Now, wait! No shiny attack hmph! Don’t look at me like that!
As soon as I responded to Mrs. Vastia’s words, I stopped and raised my hand to cover my eyes cause the lanterns that were sent from both sides again.
Ugh. It’s such an excessive glitter attack, it’s not good for my heart.
“I wish you could play with brother Erich too tomorrow. Isn’t that right, Louise?”
So, is the third okay now? He appeared in time, but he was still quiet throughout the meal, so I was worried about it.
And that seems to be the same with Mrs. Ernst as she was taking care of Erich, who sat next to her, more than ever.
“Erich, eat more of this.”
I briefly looked at Erich’s blue pupils and
turned to the plate in front of me again.
“It was really fun today, right?”
On the way out of the room after dinner, I knocked on the belly of the second brother.
I couldn’t wait to see Johannes, who was walking side by side at the end of the table.
“Brother Cabel, You got duck oil in your mouth.”
So, don’t bother my future husband!
“What? where?”
“Not there, left.”
“Here?”
“No, little down.”
“Is it okay now?”
“Oh, I’ll just wipe it off, Mr. Butler!”
I called Butler Hubert, who stands like a shadow in the hallway in front of the dinner room, and borrowed his handkerchief.
“Now, brother, bend your head down.”
He let his head down and I raise my hand to rub his mouth. Done.
“What did you eaten so the oil spread so much, brother?”
“Oh, ah! Hey, it’s a little…”
“I’m sorry. I have weak hands, so I have to rub it several times to wipe it off.”
That said, Cabel couldn’t say anything again.
I kept making sorry expressions for the second brother who was squeezing alone, and rubbed his mouth relentlessly with my hands.
Eventually, Cabel became a guppy lips and left. He climb the stairs with a stupid face. It’s been a long time, it’s okay to do it.
“Mr. Butler! I’ll make this clean,” I said.
The hand towel I borrowed from Hubert was clean because there was no oil in
the mouth of Cabel, but it was my own secret.
But the next moment, Hubert, who was famous for his bluntness, was surprisingly smiling at me.
“You must have liked Sir Cabel a lot.”
At that very moment, I doubted my ears and hardened like a stone in my place.
Yeah…? What did you say now? I like him?Who is who? I? That second guy? Hugh, Uncle Hubert. No matter how much I like you, it’s difficult to say…!
“Miss Hari is still young, but she has to take care of her brother from the punishment. She is a kind and friendly person.”
Hubert rarely smiles warmly. Even
after stroking me, I didn’t say anything stupid to him.
“Yes, Hari’s good!”
And then, with Johannes next to me, he squinted his eyes again. Naturally, I had no choice but to feel my conscience pounding.
The same was true after Hubert hand left my head and left.
“When did you become so close to Hubert?”
But suddenly, When I turned my head to the voice, I saw Eugene with a strange expression. When did you stand there?
“Hubert doesn’t like children very much.”
“No. Mr. Butler is very kind, isn’t
he?”
“That’s enough to stroke your head.”
What? Are you trying to shout out to me that I’ve twisted Hubert this time while pretending to be good and quiet?
But Eugene’s face seems to be the one who’s struggling here. He was just looking at me with a mysterious look, while I had no idea what it meant.
However, for some reason, it seemed that Eugene’s hand, which was hanging down, seemed to be moving alone.
Such Eugene seemed to hesitate and seemed to be troubled. Of course, I was wondering why I couldn’t figure out why. Why are you doing that?
If you have anything to say, say it, why are you just staring at me so strangely?
“Do you have anything to do with me?”
After all I couldn’t stand it, I asked Eugene again after answering like a knife. When he was stuffy, he turned around neatly.
Yes? No, I don’t think you’ve done? It was that moment that slap my mind down. As it was, it was Johannes who was stroking my head.
I open my mouth a bit embarrassingly looking at him with his hands on my head. There. I know we first met just a few hours ago, isn’t this a little too fast?
It turns out that Johannes, who was my future husband, was quick! My age and his age are now only 7 and 9 years old.
Anyway, Johannes is touching my head quite well, I became a little light headed.
“What are you doing right now?”
“Oh!”
But as soon as I met his eyes, Johannes had his hands off my head and his cheeks turned red. Perhaps that flushing is conditionally reflexive.
I saw that it was red and white automatically. Besides, it was almost unconscious that I had just scratched my head.
“That is like this.”
Then he said something I didn’t understand. I narrowed my eyes and
asked.
“What?”
“That brother just wanted to do that.”
At that sound, I lost a moment to say, and a moment later, a little laugh came out from my mouth.
The reason he stared at me with those eyes was because he wanted to stroke my head like Hubert he said!
“Oh, huh? Why? It’s not going to be that way.”
Yeah. If you’re right now, then it’s true that Hubert just dotted me on me! It’s also true that I like the second brother! No!
“Uh, no. I think this isn’t right.”
“That’s right.”
“Um. Brother Johan? Anyway, it’s because you don’t know Brother Eugene well.”
I don’t know what to call Johannes for a moment, so I said with frown. However, at my word, there was a flower in the face of Johannes. Uh, what is this reaction again?
“Ah, can you tell me once again?”
“What, what? Is it because you don’t know brother Eugene well?”
I said, stuttering together along Johannes, who asked with a reddish face. By the way, Johannes looked up as if that wasn’t the exact word.
“No, not that, before that….”
“What, Brother Johan?”
Johannes laughed with a blue eye in my
uncertain call. The moment he smiled wide, I even saw the illusion of thorny flowers blooming around him.
No, no! What the hell is this creature? Ugh. What kind of creatures claim to be harmless with that whole body?
It’s because the three brother who have been around me that I become cautios. This is too bad if I can’t adapt! Well, I don’t
know why I’m so embarrassed.
I coughed in vain and took my hands off
Johannes’ shoulders.
“Ekhm. I’m going to my room now.”
Looking at the drinks they got out of the cellar earlier, it seems that the adults don’t go out until late.
The three brothers are scattered first, and Brother Johannes, Louise, felt sleepy during dinner time and moves to the guest
room in advance.
It was in a state of cruelty. Then it turns out that adults are secretly irresponsible too?
The truth is, I’m originally here because it’s my home, but even so, the Ernst is in a state with other guest, but I sent out from the dinner room with other children like
this and I don’t know.
Yes. I’ve been thinking about it before, is it possible that the Countess Vastia is a free-leaderism.
Besides, in this situation, it is possible that Eugene would come out and gather brothers and Johannes in one place and make an excuse to become friendly.
Oh, didn’t you all so close before? But why didn’t you say anything and just go?
Tap. Tap.
That is that. I thought of Eugene, who had just acted again, and I smirked myself.
Tap. Tap.
Again. It was then that the sound of the
footsteps following me dug into the eardrum clearly.
“Hey, why are you following me? Weren’t the directions you were going to be different?”
When I stopped walking and asked, Johannes couldn’t answer immediately and shook his lips.
Looking at it, I wondered if I should take him to his room. Well. It turns out that my future husband is a phantom, and even a pro.
That, yes. Anyone can do everything well and be perfect…. I’m all over Johannes’ shoulders again. Gave me a break.
“It’s okay. You may not know the way. I’ll escort you to the room….”
“Oh no. I know where my room is. I can go alone.”
Then why did you follow me? And in the words of Johannes that follows, I took my breath away without my knowledge.
“It’s not that, I just want to be with you a little bit.”
Johannes had a hair like a cloud of sky, blue hair covering his eyes.
I was able to control my reaction, but because of that, I noticed soft cheeks with a strong crab or reddish ears protruding through his hair.
In that state, Johannes shook his fingers and muttered again.
“Well, I’m going to be quiet without disturbing. Can I stay with you?”
“Okay.”
I immediately answered without knowing it, but how to refuse in this situation! Me, I can’t! I can never do that!
“Really?”
“Ugh.”
I have never seen anyone who expresses
his feelings as soon as this.
Of course, there’s the second brother, but
he’s so ignorant, just aside, and this time Johannes began to shine his eyes as soon as I answered.
“Yeah, can we go hand in hand then?”
“Yes, yes….”
Uh, just do whatever you want. Anyway, I can’t refuse if you ask with such a face. Wow. Johannes laughed and grabbed my hand.
Eventually, I walked down the hallway with my hands on him.
“You know. Hari, what do you usually like to play with?”
I heard a clear voice of Johannes in my
ears as I walked through the hallway illuminated by candles.
I felt a little softer hand than mine and grabbed my hand tightly, then rinsed my
face for a moment with a strange grudge.
“I like everything.”
“So, let’s play with Louise next time, the three of us!”
Let’s just ignore the that maids passing through the hallway are staring at us like kids playing house-play. Ugh damn.
