Beware of the Brothers - Chapter 6
Hunting began immediately the next day. Duke Ernst and Count Vastia were ready to leave the mansion early in the morning. Eugene also belonged to the party.
I hear it from Mrs. Ernst, who was left in the mansion. It is said that they headed for a mountain range located in the northwestern part of the Ernst estate.
On the first day they have hunted two silver foxes, a reindeer and a black yak.
Cabel saw the large yak in front of the mansion and twinkled his eyes and said he wanted to go hunting together the next
day.
“Huek-huek.”
On the other hand, Erich stood for a while in front of the body of the animal, and then quickly disgusted and left.
Adults think Erich is still young to look at that dead animals.
It seemed to me that he looked at the sieve and thought it was shocking, but it was certainly a bit overreacting when I thought of the youngest, Louise Vastia, who glowed with a curious eye behind Mrs. Vastia back.
I knew that what was shown was
not for that simple reason.
“Sister, about Brother Erich…”
As I know, Erich has been showing a terrible denial reaction to the phenomenon of ‘death’ itself since the death of his twin sister, Arina.
“Why is he sick every day? Is his body weak?”
So it must have been unintentional that I
almost died because of the third when he drove me out on a cold day.
Erich had some kind of trauma in what is called “death.” Erich, now young, of course, is one of the weakest in Ernst, and at least his symptoms I’ve watched for 20 years have never been easier.
He would getting better, too, and now what Erich had to go through was the death of his twin sister.
“Well, that’s not it, he’s just feeling a little sick now.”
Okay. I also can’t explained Erich’s symptoms in detail to a child, so I hurriedly turned it over.
I was amazed at the words that Louisie whispered to death as if she knew everything.
“I hope he was able to rest assured again.”
“Ah. But when I saw a small, cute animal like a dog dead, it must be so painful right? I also wanted to raise a fox myself, I was sad to see it dead yesterday.”
“Ah, that too. It’s sad that small animal friends are dead, so it’s must felt bad.”
“You mean Erich. You seem so worried.”
“Ah.”
But at the next moment, Louise stops, and
I stop talking too. She coughed up.
“I just saw the fox dead, and the meat from lunch today was just delicious, but Brother Erich is grieving from yesterday evening and he seem eat less. What if he still cry alone in his room?”
Lou, Louise. No. You are wrong! The third brother was shocked by the carcass of the animal, but, as you said, ‘It hurts my
heart to see a small animal friend dead’.
“Brother Erich. It looks like he’s going to fall if I hit him. He look so fragile. His hair is also silver!”
I don’t know what the heck is the thing with silver hair or fragile. Well, he doesn’t look like a devil and look like an innocent
angel at first. I’m so deceived at first!
“Woo, anyway, I’m so worried. I haven’t eaten well since yesterday. I had a delicious lunch today. I want to eat again.”
Louise’s words, which began with Erich’s worries, ended with a hope for taste of lunch today. Well, it seems that the flow of thought is splashing a little strangely.
Anyway, you’re just being fooled by Erich! Louise was misunderstood about Erich, huh, the people of Vastia have been in trouble all the time since they came here.
Ugh. Yes, what. Not knowing is a medicine. Okay…. I felt a little skeptical about my life and said as if I was heading for Louise.
“If You’re so worried about Erich, it would be good to see him in his room.”
“Yeah? I should? Why?”
But Louise was asking me as if she couldn’t understand it. The moment I faced the round eyes, I was a little
embarrassed.
What, what? Didn’t you worry that Erich couldn’t eat from yesterday evening and that his animal friends were feeling alone because of the death?
“You are worried that Erich is crying alone?”
“Yes, but I’m not worried enough to go and check him out myself. I’m not even close to that brother.”
“Yes, yes.”
Young Louise was cool. I watched Louise, who said,
“I can’t easily follow my thoughts of these days.”
“Let’s play dolls with Mimi and Sister Bibbie that I brought.”
“Oh, okay?”
“I’m going to be Princess Arlanta. Older sister is Princess Obelia.”
The name “Bibbie” was the name given by Louise, who watched my dolls this morning.
Besides, she named all the other dolls directly as well as the long blond mermaid doll with a crown on her head.
I gave up remember out the names of the dolls from the time the number was over 5.
You might think it’s unexpected, but there were so many little dolls in my room that were bought by the Ernst couple in this bright pink room.
These were princess-like dolls that look very well, although I never played with them.
“Ho, come on, Princess. The weather is really good today. Would you like to drink tea outside?”
“Yes, I think it’s a good idea.”
The princess is all laughing like that.
“Hohoho…..”
I started playing a soulless doll with Louise. No, are you really say that all the lords at the ball laughing like this? I know
I should never have been a princess.
Louise had never even met the real
princesses, so there was no chance she know what a princess look like.
Bubbly! But just then, someone opened my door and came in.
“Hey, Tra…. No, you play with me!”
I’ve been bothered already, so I said without looking at the door.
“I’m playing dolls with Louise now. Would you mind to play if my brother join us?”
“Hate”
The answer came straight from Louise, but don’t worry. I can’t say that we’re going to play dolls together without Cabel going crazy.
“I hate it! It’s not that fun. Do something other than that!”
“What else?”
“That’s, it’s….”
Yes, just I thought he had come to my room without any thoughts. Ugh. I’m just doing it cause I’m bored. I can’t even hunt,
and I’m stuck all over the house. I also need to be patient with his personality.
“Yeah! Throw the ball. I’ll get the ball!”
Cabel exclaimed like that and then ran out of the door again. No, I haven’t said I want to play with you.
“Sister, let’s lock the door.”
Somehow, after the first day, Cabel was firmly impressed a bad person by Louise.
“Just let’s go to another room and play?”
Louise and I decided to leave this place before Cabel came next. Then, what Johannes doing now? But I didn’t have to wonder for a long time.
“Louise. “
“Where have you been, brother?”
“I, Brother Eugene said that I can read the book, so I’m in the library.”
I was able to meet Johannes who was holding the book.
Um. If it were a library, it would not have been possible because Cabel thought it was also a place that would never be accessible.
“But, where are you going with Hari?”
“My brother can goes with us.”
“Can I go with you?”
He and Louise said at the same time.
The next moment when Johannes asked
me looking at me, I couldn’t hide my teary eyes. Ugh damn. My prospective groom was very well sized.
Even If he’s still shy, He still acted after asking my opinion first.
And the kindness that I had never received before was a consideration compare to the three Ernst’s brother.
“Of course not. Do you want to be brother Johan, the prince of neighboring country?”
“Oh, you’re playing Princess.”
“Yes. I’m Princess Arlanta, and sister is Princess Obelia! And you’re the Prince of Hue!”
We talked in good order.
*******
I walked down the hall with flowers. Well, if you have reached this level, the second will not find us anytime soon.
“Shhh!”
But that was my illusion. As soon as we settled into the new room, I heard a
dog barking outside the door, and soon the door opened.
“I found you!”
How did you know we were here so quickly?
“Woof!”
Ah, you got Penny to smell! Anyway, it was the second brother that emerged suddenly.
“Cabel! What are you doing now?”
However, the second brother was not alone. I narrowed my eyes as I saw the third brother that came along the back of
Cabel, like a string of candy.
In addition, Erich was eagerly heading
towards Cabel as if he was getting a lot of heat.
“Penny, come back here!”
The moment Erich yelled, I felt a headache and pointed at my forehead. Look at them. Anyway, I really need to escape that crap.
“Erich, you can play with us too!”
“No!”
Cool. Do you even include me in your “us”? No, I don’t have enough mind to play with you .
Of course, Cabel, who wasn’t in the same mood as someone else’s mood, came to me with a big smile, holding a ball in one hand. And he grabbed my arm as it was.
I’m not in for annoying brat and annoying rushing. I opened my mouth while thinking of words.
“Brother Cabel, put this on for a second.”
“I brought a ball and penny! So get up Quick!”
“Well, wait a minute. Hari told you to let her go.”
“What else are you going to play with, get
out of there!”
“Hari was playing dolls with me!”
“Nothing like that is fun. You’re also need to stay out of this.”
The brother and sister of Vastia tried to put Cabel off. However, like in the beginning, he couldn’t hear other people’s words.
Just then, Erich hugged Penny and tried to get out of the way, and then Cabel came to spotted the scene.
“Erich! Put Penny down!”
Cabel screamed halfway towards the third brother, and my arms were still held by Cabel while I was still in the middle.
No matter how hard I endure, the most strong of the three brothers he is, I couldn’t have beaten the power of his.
I fell on my knee and fell over the carpet with my arms held by Cabel.
“What, why are you falling down. Get up quickly!”
“Hey….”
I was annoyed this time, too, and opened my mouth to speak to the second brother. With such arm and firm hand, the hand of Cabel who was holding my arm was forcibly removed.
Just then,
“Apologize to Hari.”
At the moment I heard a loud and prim voice, I opened my eyes wide. It was none other than Johannes, who was blocking the second brother and me with a hard face like never before.
I was amazed and looked up at him. Cabel also looked at Johannes with his eyes wide open. Oh, oh. Is that Johannez right in front of me right now? You were so powerful now?
Look, the second brother is also amazed right now, but Cabel soon stared at Johannes, then shook his face and yelled in front of him.
“What are you?”
He seemed to be agitated by Johannes’ words, and even for a short moment, his pride seemed to be upset because he was stopped by Johannes’ word.
Of course, either side was funny from my standpoint. What do you think this guy was good at?
“Why should I apologize?”
“That way, You dragged her painfully and screamed at her.”
Surprisingly, Johannes even spoke well and did not stutter.
Whenever he make eye contact with someone every time, he don’t know what to do and shyly blushes his cheek, isn’t it as if he was not doing it now?
Ugh, our Johannes is different!
“If Hari is your sister and you’re her brother, you shouldn’t do that. No, because you’re older, you shouldn’t do more. So apologize. It’s your fault that you’re doing it that way.”
Oh, but I’m worried. Soon after the
second brother came true his sense, his face like as that is ‘oh yeah? I’m sorry I can’t respond like this?’.
“You. Don’t be funny. What are you doing to me? Are you going to do that to me?”
In this way, the second brother threw the ball in his hand and fluttered because there was no one among the peers who spoke directly to himself and demand apologized by him.
It was then that Cabel shouted at me.
“And she is not my sister!”
“What?”
“Hey, this is not my younger sister!”
It was also a very good retard. There is nothing to fall on from Johannes’ words, so what is louder by catching a pod with that?
I knew that the second brother started with an unanswered argument. Johannes was silent for a moment as Cabel screamed, but his soon-to-be voice was so incomparable than what he had just heard.
“Then what?”
“What?”
Of course, the second brother, being clueless, couldn’t have had an idea. Cabel did nothing to Johannes’ question.
I don’t know if there is anything else that can clearly define my place in this house.
He can try to asked it again, but there must have been such a difficult word in the head of the second brother, but Johannes didn’t seem to have asked for another answer in the first place.
I swiped my head to the side and checked Johannes’ face. And soon I was amazed by the blue eyes in my sight.
“Then give me.
What, what?
“Give her to me!”
After coming to Ernst, for the first time, Johannes yelled out loud. Perhaps he was even more upset by what Cabel had just said. Is that different from you?
What the hell do you need with me?
“I can do a lot better for Hari than a boy like you! So give her to me!”
Did you ask for me from Cabel now?
It seemed as if you had gone to your soon-to-be wife’s house and said to your father-in-law and my mother-in-law, ‘Give me your daughter!’
God damnit, but that doesn’t mean anything for now.
“Yes! Give her to us! From today on, sister Hari is my sister.”
Even Louise, who had her eyes wide open next to me, started shouting like Johannes and cheering on him.
Erich was eagerly observing us with penny, and Cabel was embarrassed by his unexpected brother-in-law’s offensive. That’s right though for Cabel.
It’s a little touching to stand up and support my side. However, the eyes of Cabel suddenly changed after Johannes’s cold words.
“You’re the most cowardly and deadly man I know. There’s definitely a day you’ll regret even what you said. Hari is a hundred times more precious than a boy like you!”
“Oh! What did you say right now?”
Cabel’s body bounced forward without even opening a mouth.
Hit!
“Ouch!”
“Oh, brother!”
Huk! Did the second brother hit my
future husband now? Is that so?
“Cabel, what are you doing now?”
Louise and I rushed to Johannes, who fell after hitting Cabel’s fist.
“Ugh.”
Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to have been a big injury, but the wound is real!
“Why did you punch Brother Johan!”
“Why are you on his side in front of me right now?”
Then, why would you think I should side with you? Standing with that expected look,
“How can you do that? Should I side with you? I’m not your sister, so why?”
“That, that’s it.”
Cabel began to shake his eyes as he panicked as if he didn’t know I could pick him up. Whenever you spit out everything you say, he just open his mouth, this guy.
“And it wasn’t that Brother Johan was wrong, but he still was hit by Brother Cabel!”
“What made you think there is nothing wrong with him!”
“So what was wrong?”
“Oh, that’s….Everything is wrong! Eh! Why are you only taking that child’s side?”
The second brother, when I wasn’t doing
what he want, started to yell again, shouting and shouting.
“That brother’s bad! He always teasing my brother! Ugh ah!”
In the meantime, when I look at crying Louise, the room completely turned into a mess. It started after something’s running.
Bugh!
“Mmm!”
I wanted to go, but the next moment, Cabel screamed at the touch and fell on the carpet.
Me, Louise, and Erich stared blankly at Johannes, who was like a flower in the whole room, holding his fist to the second brother and holding his breath.
Cabel also stumbled as if he couldn’t believe it, and just wrapped his cheek.
“You, did you hit me now?”
“You’re the one who first hit me.”
“Hey! You are looking for dead!”
From then on, the room was completely a hell. I thought for a moment and blank. Where am I now? Who am I?
“Cab, Brother Cabel! Stop it!”
“Don’t hit my brother!”
Louise is crying. It was obviously the second brother, Cabel and Johannes, who were fighting in a dusty entanglement on the carpet.
Erich and Louise couldn’t do this or that, and the sound of shouting rang. Penny, out of Erich’s arms, barked at them. This is it. Only then did I get upset.
“Stop you both!”
I stepped into the mess to stop the two. Huh? But why is it that I seem to be hitting the second brother with two people, Johannes?
Bugh!
Originally, my life was about to aim for a peaceful one. Once again,
“I’m saying, stop doing it!”
For this time, I raised my hand! Hah! Take my wild hand!
“Mom Ah!”
“Woof”
Erich or Louise, whether someone was running out of the door with a speed, the two wives rushed into the room.
“Oh my God! What is this!”
“Can’t you both stop?”
Unexpectedly, Johannes was falling
and falling equally with Cabel.
But as opposed to Johannes’ reluctance in the voices of adults, Cabel was already throwing hit fist and there was nothing noticeable as Johannes was crushed under me.
“Cabel!”
Seeing the brutality of such a second brother, Mrs. Ernst shouted at him. I also
moved to stop the real Cabel this time in the crisis of Johannes.
“Oh, stop it now!”
But Cabel completely turned his eyes over and shook my hand, and at that very moment I had a tremendous reaction as he hit my face with his elbow.
Bugh!
“Ha, Hari!”
Eh, my nose! I grabbed my stiff nose while lying down on the floor. Huh? By the way, something is warm……
Pitter.
“Nose, nosebleed.”
Erich, standing at the door, muttered
stupidly with his mouth wide open.
“Oh my God, Hari! Are you okay?”
“You can’t lift your head back! Here’s a handkerchief!”
Mrs. Ernst and Mrs. Vastia shouted at me and ran to me. The two men who had just hitting and fighting before were staring at me as if they were stone-hard.
It was the same with Erich and Louise.
“Why, why the bleeding not stop?”
“Doctor, I need to call a doctor! Hubert!”
But when my nosebleeds didn’t stop, the two wives were upset and called Hubert. Meanwhile, Louise is grabbing the hem and started to shed tears.
“Ah ah! Sister, don’t die!”
No, I won’t die because a nosebleed.
But when I see that it is causing a pupil quake like the person who was upset to the third brother, it seems that my goal is not playing right now.
“Ha, Hari. OK? I’m sorry. I… “
“Oh, no, It’s just a litlle…”
This was not a big deal. I just barely
replied, saying,
“I am okay.”
The second brother was standing stupidly at the act of what he had done, or maybe he was shocked by my bloody appearance.
Then, after hearing the fuss, Hubert appeared.
“You called, your grace. No, Miss Hari!”
“Hubert, call a doctor right now! No, before that, stop the bleeding!”
Oh ah! This is completely more mess than before….
When the hell is calm coming from the corner of this house? Cabel was stingingly
confused by Ernst’s wife.
Then, kneeling in the hallway on the ground floor, as he was humiliated.
“No, Cabel? Why are you doing that?”
“Dad, ah!”
But he didn’t have to take the punishment for a long time, because the party that had gone hunting had a sudden change in the weather as they returned to the mansion early.
At that time, Mrs. Ernst was just staying in my room with a doctor.
Naturally, I had a nosebleed when I was hit by Cabel elbow, so once I had hemostasis, there was nothing wrong.
He said that my nose was fine.
Ernst wiped her heart out of that, but to
be honest I was a little humbled to see that she even call a doctor for this.
“Oh my god, Hari!”
When he heard the news from Cabel, The
Duke Ernst who came up to see me was so surprised and stunned.
Eugene, who followed him, also opened his eyes with amazement. As it turns out,
the clothes I was wearing were all wet with the blood I had just shed.
Uh, well. It seemed that I shed more blood than I thought.
I changed my clothes immediately after the doctor gone, and Cabel was punished for raising his hand in the hallway as he kneeled on the floor again after being secondarily confused by Duke Ernst’s incredibly anger.
And from tomorrow, Cabel’s ordered not to take a step out of the room.
“No, did our first son fight with Ernst’s second son?”
On the other hand, Count Vastia, after hearing this enormous news, made a fishy look for a while, then surprisingly burst into laughter.
“Oh ha! It’s amazing. I now know that my son was a guy who could beat a friend, it’s the first time. After all, the children are fighting and growing up.This, bringing Johan to Ernst is a good thing after all.”
He said that.
When I looked at Cabel and Johannes, who had long look at their condition before the Duke and count left, they each had blue bruises on their faces.
Vastia responded as if it wasn’t a big deal. It was a good thing for Ernst.
It was Cabel that was wrong, but of course, the Ernst couple apologized for not knowing what to do with Vastia, who said that it was okay, that they were among the children, so don’t be too hard about Cabel, they said.
“Miss Hari. If this happens next time, it’s okay at any time, so please call me. It’s too dangerous for you to do something like this.”
“Yeah, okay.”
I smiled happily at Hubert hand, stroking my head. Hehe.
In fact, I would be embarrassed to say that I wanted to hit the second brother back then, so I interrupted and got beaten instead.
It’s a big deal now because I’m like this. I want to hit the second brother but this outcome is better than I thought!
“Is it still bleeding now?”
Oh, I’m surprised! Hubert was petting my head for a long time, but suddenly Eugene appeared and was surprised.
Hubert left the room first, as if trying to create a consoling place between us. So,
I answer as my face with wrinkles.
“It’s not, but I’ve had a lot of it before.”
Now the blood has stopped, but my nose is still a little red. Previously, it had relentless evidence of Cabel’s elbow.
“From tomorrow, I’ll be staying at the mansion, too,” said Eugene as he paused for a moment.
“Are you not going to hunting?”
“I wasn’t going to go, and I didn’t like it.”
Definitely, I was a little relieved if Eugene was in the mansion.
They wasn’t listening to my word, but at Eugene’s words, they do, as to both of them he is their big brothers.
“Your nose is still quite red.”
Eugene said, looking down at my face for a while and frowning. Well, I spilled that much blood, but I will be fine soon.
“It wasn’t just red. It still hurts.”
I grumbled by stroking my nose. I’m like this, but I think Cabel’s anger and punch Johannes will hurt more.
It was meant to be a comforting word, but he look like he get a little more confused.
After Cabel being punished, it’s Duke Ernst’s order to be proactive in his room, for a while the mansion will be quiet.
“Yeah, sorry.”
Eugene who seem hesitate for a moment, apologized to me. At his word, I paused
for a moment and then opened my mouth with a squeak in my nose.
“Why do you apologize for something you did not do?”
“Because Cabel did that.”
Of course, as the eldest son, it could have been a sense of responsibility for his brother’s work. However, I wanted to point out at least once.
“In this case, you can just say ‘I want you to be okay sooner or better’ or ‘It’s a big deal because Cabel still immature’. Not saying sorry on his behalf.”
And I guess it didn’t seem like that even a little.
Of course, when the polarity of the guys went too far, I would have wanted Eugene to do something since he was the eldest son, but honestly, It was not necessary to feel responsible for all of his brother’s hindsight.
Yes, to be honest, it’s kind of hypocritical to think of this on a topic that’s not so true, Eugene doesn’t go hunting since
tomorrow.
That, though, does not mean that all of the fault will be passed on to him, as that means that he will be more than willing to
accept it.
“Anyway, You don’t have to apologize for what brother Cabel had done on his behalf, Brother Eugene.”
After making such excuses, I shook my head.
Well, yes, but there is a corner to rely on at the age of 12, Eugene, and I couldn’t be ashamed of myself.
“Even if it need apologize, it’s right for him to do it himself.”
“Yeah… that’s right as you say.”
Eugene paused at my words, and soon replied in a hurry. But why is his
expression so strange? But my question immediately disappears.
It was because at that moment, I felt a heavy weight on my head. What is this?
I raised my head with a puzzled heart.
And after realizing the essence of sitting down on my head, I immediately settled down.
“From tomorrow, if anything happens, call me.”
While I was stiff, Eugene freely left his place after two strokes at my head with a little awkward movement. What are you doing now??
I remained alone and panicked with my mouth open. Is Eugene just stroking my head? Is that right? Really? Has he eaten something wrong today?
Is the sun gonna rise from the west
tomorrow?
I was greatly agitated by the situations I couldn’t even imagined, and I open my mouth for a while as a voice came. It was Johannes.
“Hari, I’m sorry. You got hurt because of me….”
“It’s not because of brother Johan, but
because of brother Cabel.”
Johannes apologized to me with fullness of his heart. It’s a blemish! It’s a bruising bruise!
What’s really wrong is that Cabel, why don’t he apologize for hurting this flower?
Cabel, who was punished for one day yesterday under the order of the Duke of Ernst, wasn’t really taking a step out of his from today.
Of course, this guy wasn’t supposed to remain quiet as what his father command, but there weren’t any chance even for a second because he had two knights from
Ernst standing in front of the door in preparation for Cabel’s breakout.
Just an hour ago, I tried to go on a visit and then recalled Cabel, who was being held back inside and kicked my tongue.
“And not only that, but….”
“For asking to hand you over like an object, I’m sorry.”
Johannes lingered for a moment as if he didn’t know what to say, then bowed his
head and apologized to me again.
For a moment, I wanted to say, ‘What are
you talking about?’ So I was amazed at yesterday’s memories grinning my head and suddenly passing through my mind.
‘I can treat Hari better than a boy like you! So give her to me!’
Johannes was just getting a little darker than before and was shaking his head, but I admired him again and again.
How on earth can a person grow up so nicely and brilliantly when he is educated? It seems urgent matter to introduce the education policy of Johannes to the Ernst!
“It’s okay, brother! You didn’t mean that in that way. I know.”
In fact, even when he had a fight with Cabel before, I was so grateful that he was the first person to fight on my side so far.
“Did you treat your wound?”
“Oh, yeah.”
I raised my hand on the face of a bruised Johannes without knowing that his heart had become stiff, but as soon as I touched it, he shook his body in amazement as if it were on fire, so I just returned my hand back.
Even if it just the touched of my hand, I guess it hurts a lot.
With that in mind, it was only natural for me to blame this to the second brother.
“I feel sorry for older sister.”
A voice came.
But when I turned my head to the voice I heard from his side, Louise, who had a chubby face while holding a big rabbit doll, caught my eye.
Oh right. Then it turned out that it wasn’t just Johannes in the room.
“That’s really bad. He’s a stupid idiot.”
Well, I can’t deny it. The second brother is definitely a stupid idiot.
“Sister, can’t you come to our house? My older brother is much better than that brother! And when you come to our house, I will lend you my toy and bears, and you will have a good time without fighting with me!”
In the meantime, I was tired of the behavior that Cabel showed, and I expressed whether I would laugh or cry when I expressed my intention to escape from the grip of the second brother while I lent her my rabbit and bear dolls.
It became an indeterminate mood, but I stopped at her words, and I was frustrated.
“You said that you lived ‘outside’? Let’s leave sister’s brother on where she lived.”
I felt like she stopped Johannes as well as me by her word. However, only Louise couldn’t recognize our reaction and still had a face of innocence.
“Becky did it every time I fought with Marian. She said there was a very scary monster out there, and the bad boy was there. It’s a deal that I’m going to taken outside while scolded, so let’s throw your
brother there.”
While I was playing dolls with Louise, it was reported that Becky was Louise’s nanny, and Marian was a friend of the same age as Louise.
“But is there a real monster out there? So, have you been living with a monster so far?”
It was something a little girl would think, and something that adults would do enough to scare children who didn’t
listen.
“Older sister is pitiful.”
However, the moment Louise spoke with
compassion in her eyes filled with the innocence of a young child, strangely, I felt like I had a thorn on my neck for a moment.
Just then, Johannes, who was next to her, rarely spoke to his sister in a firm voice.
“Louise, Becky just said it cause she’s trying to scare you.”
“So? Are there any monsters?”
“No.”
“Then where did sister live?”
The curious pupil turned to me once again. Again, Johannes opened his mouth before I answering what she said.
“It’s the same like us. It’s where people like
you and becky live.”
“Really? Then did Becky lie to me?”
“You get lost easily, so if you go alone, it’s a dangerous place. You won’t come back
home. That’s why she said that.”
“I don’t like it!”
“And I like Hari, no matter where she lived before, regardless of that.”
“That’s right, me too!”
Louise quickly assimilated to Johannes and pleaded to show me not only her doll and bear, but also tweets and whirlpool dolls when I came to their house.
“Hari, then see you again at dinner later.”
“Older sister, you have to eat and play with me again!”
And when I closed the door and came back to my original position, I felt the smile slowly fading away. Louise’s curiosity lingered in my head.
The previous conversation wasn’t very influential to me, as it was a word that a young child brought out without meaning.
However, the old memories that I had
forgotten for a while at her question only quietly emerged from below.
What was it like where I lived? Even though it was a long time ago, I was
able to easily recall the memories of Mellington.
I sat on the bed for a while, slowly shaking my feet, and soon turned to the window. The sound of the windows rattling in the cold breeze echoed my eardrum.
Where I lived… Cold and hungry place. A place where no one would find me or call
my name after my mother died.
Mellington is a cold place, where I had to
be alone forever.

“I’m feeling it every day, but Ernst’s dinner
is really great.”
Count Vastia at dinner said he admired the delicacy of the sea in front of us.
“If I could, I would like to take the chef to our Vastia.”
“It would be great to let the chef hear it.”
“As I said, there were mouth-watering dishes on the table full of stiff legs.”
“I’ll put it on the plate little by little.”
“Yes, Thank you.”
With Mrs Ernst’s courtesy, there are foods that smell delicious. Hopefully I can taste it little by little.
However, I was trying to put a dish that stimulated the salivary glands in front of my eyes, but I felt like I was sleepy for
some reason.
Perhaps it was because I recalled what happened when I lived in Mellington in a conversation with Louise that we had during the day.
At that time, if I could eat even hard black bread that had dried up and was twisted, I was lucky….
Now I was in front of the luxurious food
with warm steam coming up.
“Hari, would you like something else?”
Mrs. Ernst asked, as I was holding a fork and looking down at the plate. Only then did I wake up and smile at her.
“No, it’s delicious!”
And finally, the veal calf boasted a paradise that melts in his mouth.
I was impressed and began to inhale the food on the plate like other children
from that time on.
Only yesterday all that incident happened. Today, Mrs. Ernst smiled with a reassuring face and looked at me.
“Don’t do that and have another drink.”
“I drank a lot yesterday, so today…”
“Mom, me and that, give me more!”
“A minute. You’ve been spilled on clothes, Louise.”
I was thrilled with the scenery on the noisy table. It was noisy and a bit distracting as there were many people, but I thought this wasn’t too bad.
“Did you come to Brother Cabel?”
After the meal, I held my hand with Luise and went to the room as we accidentally meet the Duchess of Ernst.
When I watched she’s walking from the place where Cabel’s room was, and holding the plate, I could easily guess why.
“I think it’s kind of lonely being alone by the time of the meal.”
I guess she went to take the meal to the second brother who was confined in his room. The plate in her hand was clean and empty, as if it had been licked.
While he was alone in the room, I heard that the second brother had ate a lot, but my hearty appetite still didn’t seem to disappear.
But, the answer Mrs. Ernst said to me with a laugh of sorry for Louise.
“Since he had tiled hard since yesterday, he’s not going to do anything radical
anymore. He’s doing a lot of work with Johannes, and he’s regretting his action. But don’t worry, I won’t let him go for a while if you want.”
Listening to it, I think it will soon release Cabel’s anxiety. Confined in a room alone for a long time is bad for emotions. Moreover, the subject is a second fact like a beagle.
“It was good not to have that brother.”
After breaking up with Mrs. Ernst, Louise muttered disgruntled on the way to the room. Ugh, maybe the Cabel was taken quite a bit by this little girl.
“If he bother with my brother and sister Hari, I’m going to let go of shit.”
Wait a minute, doesn’t it seem like something aristocratic lady could not possibly do?
Louise was flashing her eyes and consolidating her determination for real. So I was just sweating cold and pretending I didn’t hear her.
Cabel left the room two days later. As if it was a lie to say that the brat was reprimanded, as soon as he came out, he ran out of flesh and shoots around the house.
However, just like what the Ernst couple said, when he looked at me, he stood far away and I noticed that he did not dare to come close to me.
One impressive thing was that cold air flowed between Cabel and Johannes.
Cabel seemed to be left with a fairly deep
sentiment that he had been beaten and faces after he had been admonished by Johannes whom like a puppy.
I was amazed to see a blood bruise in Cabel’s face who came out after probation. It seems that Johannes’ fist was not a soft one.
Also, Johannes wasn’t stuttering as before every time he looked at me, and I looked at it and thought that his tone was probably not a sort of daytime obscuration.
Yes, like this, I’m building a step by step with my future husband!
“Brother, are you going to the library again?”
“Oh, yeah. Because there are so many
interesting book brother Eugene’s had.”
What was surprising was that Johannes and Eugene seemed to have some similiarity.
He spent most of his time in Eugene’s study while I was playing with Louise, and the two seemed to be able to communicate well, not only in terms of taste.
Is it because they are both eldest?
I found a common denominator of surprising and it made me feel a bit subtle.
Maybe I just didn’t know, beside my own exchange, I thought there might have been an exchange between Eugene and Johannes in the future.
Isn’t that why Eugene choose Johannes to be my bridegroom?
Anyway, after getting out of my mind, this time, instead of Eugene, Cabel followed the uncle’s hunt, so peace came after he went from the mansion.
Even the adults who opposed at first did not actively stop him anymore and they let him gone now because of the splendid appearance of the second brother.
*********
“You don’t look like me at all”
I was able to enjoy the serenity of Tonggo, but that was until I met Erich in my room.
The third brother seemed to still mind what Vastia had said on the first day.
So, this is the first word that he spits out like he’s been waiting for me and say something like that.
“I feel bad that they said you look like me. I’m offended!”
Just because it’s me, it doesn’t mean that I look like you. And from what I see, you and I are not very similar. To find a part that looks like, it is maybe the empty front teeth….
Oh, damn, that hit straight to the chest!
I’m meeting my prospective groom with a ridiculous goal without an incisor!
“Of course, I’m much prettier than you.”
I said to Erich as he expressing his suspicious ears for a moment. What? Are you doing this because you don’t think I’ll compliment myself?
Or just telling the boy that I’m pretty?
“Don’t make me laugh!”
Oh, than both. By the way, is this embarrassing right now? His pupils is shaking very terribly now. Still, Erich was pretty too.
If It’s a bit like a character, he looks like a baby angel in a torch.
On the other hand, I was just starting to gain weight, and I was barely starting to escape from the unsatisfactory level….
Huh, I’d be a neat beauty if I got older.
“What’s funny? Do you think you’re pretty? Really?”
“I, I’m handsome!”
“That’s a strange bias. The original pretty thing is that it doesn’t choose gender? So you’ve never thought that you’re pretty every time you look in the mirror?”
You’re pretty good at what you’re doing among the people I’ve seen so far.
“No!”
When I see the third brother wearing a red face and yelling, it seems as if I’ve become an injustice who mocked a baby girl. But this is more fun than I thought?
“Yeah, if you think like that, then I’m a prettier girl than you. Oh, are you telling me not to be funny? Actually, I’m prettier than you, but you’re saying the contrary?”
Hoo, now I see that for the third brother is the provocation of this type is well taken by him…….
“You are really annoying!”
The third brother said, after shouting coldly, he turned around and ran back.
*******
Whenever an adult went hunting, they couldn’t eat well and couldn’t sleep well, and it was rainy today. Anyway, it was a real anxious day for hunting.
And that evening, the second brother that had not been around me for three days finally spoke to me.
“Hey, have you seen the deer I’ve caught?”
Cabel approached, as if henever noticed that he had not speak to me these few days.
“Isn’t it great? Isn’t it great?
I’m pretty sure I didn’t have to go along and in good term with you, but I guess it’s okay pretending to be good,
“Yes, that’s great.”
No matter who heard it, they can sense it,
when I spoke in a voice without a soul, I felt that Cabel was dissatisfied. He said to me,
“You can make gloves with deer hair!”
“Okay.”
“You want it too? Right?”
“I’m not.”
“If you ask, I can give you a special one?”
I had already noticed why this guy came to me, but I still replied coolly without looking at the second brother.
“I do not need it.”
“What? Why don’t you need it? Why?”
Oh, this dog’s look alike brother. Is it a lie that you’ve reflected?
The second brother said that for some
reason as he looked at my eyes and it didn’t last long either.
I first turned my attention to Cabel, who was eager to take away the green paper
that I was folding.
“If you ask me, I’m going to give you a special one!”
This guy was bragging alone as he didn’t like me not responding to his will. I quietly looked at the second brother and opened my mouth slowly.
“I am not your younger sister or your family. There’s no reason for me to get something like that.”
“What?!”
“So you told me so.”
I saw Cabel’s mouth open as if he couldn’t believe what I said. I stretched out my hand and grabbed the paper in Cabel’s hand.
He was still stunned with a silly expression as to whether my words were quite shocking. Oh, I’m surprised at how much I can do?
Oh! My frog! The hind legs are crumpled! I folded it later because I decided to play with Louise.
“What’s this, the legs are folded because of you?”
In a bit of annoying grumbling, I heard a breath of ‘shhh!’
“You, you, you, you! Did you tell me that you are ignoring me now?!”
I muffled my ears as if I dont see Cabel.
“I’m going to play with Louise later. So don’t bother, go out of my room.”
The second brother was quite surprised by my different appearances whom didn’t suit me.
But, after a while, when this simple human thought soon came, Cabel was shouting at me with excuses.
“Ah!”
I think he finally realized it was one thing I was talking about when he was in trouble with Johannes and said to me, ‘She’s
not my sister!’
I narrowly my eyes and then replied deeply after briefly going over the second brother face in front of me.
“Yes, I’m not your sister. Now that’s what you remember what I mean.”
“What?! That’s what I say…! Everything is different now!”
“What’s different? How is it different?”
“Oh, uh, what do you keep telling me from now on?”
“Isn’t that what you want to hear from your sister who is not your sister? I don’t want to talk to someone who says I’m not.”
I said so and deliberately looked at Cabel with a deliberate expression.
Actually, I saw Cabel, who knew that he was going to be in vain after his probation,
secretly looked at my eyes.
But still, I can’t forgive him that he even hit and raising his fist to my future husband!
The second brother could have been
the demon king if I didn’t suppress that dog-like temper even now.
That’s not enough! What will you do if my future husband run away because
of you? God damn!
“Hari, can I go in?”
“Come in!”
Just then, Johannes came to my room
with good timing. I had nothing to say, so I stand up from behind my second brother as his lips fluttered.
“Louise asked and I came to pick you up”
The he just opened the door and went into my room. As soon as Cabel saw Johannes, he looked disgusted as when he had seen him in front of me.
Ah, even with that second brother, Johannes can look like that!
It’s hard to believe that he was a man who was crying after being hit by snow bomb on the first day.
Anyway, I’m going to fold the frog and other confetti, and I’m holding it and running toward Johannes.
“Come on, brother Johan!”
At that moment, Cabel turned to me at the speed of light.
His face was like a person who had been tremendously betrayed by a person he believed, so I came out with a laugh.
“Are you coming for Louise?”
“Yeah, Louise is waiting in her room.”
As I looked at him, the smile of the second brother became more invisible as I smile and approached Johannes.
“So let’s go, brother.”
“Where are you going? You were talking
to me first!”
As the second brother shook, he take one step closer to me. In response, I watched Johannes look wary at Cabel.
The the second brother was due to memories of his parents’ troubles last time, so he only can shaking his raised hands and never acting violently against him again..
“I’m done with everything to say to you. What, do you want to say more to me?”
Cabel was very dissatisfied with something and was in agony, but he seemed to have no idea how to express it, and then he shouted at Johannes, who was next to me.
“I was talking to this girl first! You, don’t be a coward!”
Johannes jumped for a moment as Cabel shouted. It was because he was so gentle in nature, or that he had never seen a man who was fierce in this way.
However, he did not step back with a firm eye.
“As she said, Hari had nothing to say with you.”
“Hey, this! It’s stupid to play an errand like an idiot! I’m not going play errand for the girls like you!”
“What? I think you’re a fool who can only think of that.”
“What?!”
“I thought you’re more than that, did you not apologize to Hari and now you’re doing this? She and I were hurt because of you.”
At that moment, the second brother flustered with a muffled face.
“Brother Johan, stop it.”
This time, I caught in between the two. But when I talked to Johannes, wasn’t Cabel staring at me with his strangely shiny eyes?
Wow, the second brother. Do you think I’m going to be on your side right
now?
“You don’t have to waste time talking about it. Even if Brother Johan explains it, I’m pretty sure he can’t understand it anyway. Just don’t deal with it, let’s go to Louise.”
So I shook my head towards Cabel
as if he wasn’t supposed to understand it, and gave him a sigh and then turned my back.
“Brother Johan, are you good at origami?”
“We know how to fold rabbits and foxes. Oh, turtles too.”
“Really? It’s great. I know how to fold a frog, but maybe a little something else.”
“I’ll go to the room and teach you.”
The second brother face is like ‘What, are you really leaving me alone? Really?’
He shouted behind my back like a hero in the novel, but Johannes and I quietly ignored it.
Since then, I began to put the second brother out of my mind.
*****
“Hey, will you keep doing that? Why do you keep ignoring me!”
“Cabel, do it in moderation.”
“Brother, say something!”
“Say what? Hari already say she doesn’t want to playwith you.”
“Wha-a-wha!”
At the end of Eugene’s words, the face of the second brother seemed to be hitting the back of his head.
He was shaking his pupils as if he hadn’t even believed what he heard.
In the end, the second brother shouted like a heroine in a miserable fear, then ran
toward the end of the hallway, but Eugene just looked at the back of the Cabel and just stay still.
“What’s with the fuss?”
“Oh, it’s no big deal, mother. It’s boring because it’s only us in the house for Cabel.”
Yeah? He’s so good at acting who he really looks like. Sometimes, after winter,
he look like the Lord Duke himself.
As If now he’s the Lord Duke? You haven’t
been being taught to be him yet.
“Do you like Vastia siblings?”
But suddenly, a question flew over my head as I looked up, and Eugene staring
at me suddenly caught my eye.
“Yeah, well…. Both are kind and fun and
good to play with.”
“Yeah, it’s not going to be easy when they’re going back soon.”
It’s been a while, but the days are coming for the people of Vastia to leave Ernst. As Eugene said, it’s a pity. When can we see each other again after this?
Come on, maybe 20 years later? As if he understood my complicated expression, Eugene added.
“It’s okay. You’ll see them again soon after this. My mother and father also noticed the mood and they liked during this hunting season, and we had a lot of
exchanges with Vastia just a few years ago.”
Just a few years ago, they had an exchange with Vastia.
Well, it turns out that Ernst relationship
was briefly stopped after Arina’s death. At first glance, they remember that it became a more closed atmosphere.
But why did they suddenly invite another family member during this hunting season?
No matter how much I think about it, when I was young, there was no Vastia in my memory.
Then, suddenly, I remembered how Eugene seriously asked to speak with the Ernst couple after the last family outing.
And then, about the refreshment time
that suddenly occurred in this house, and the changes in the lower line of doctors who started visiting Ernst regularly.
Then the cause of all this is, is it because the first brother?
“It’s hard to meet them as often as this now because they live a little far, but you just need to get in touch with them regulary. Vastia brothers and sisters like you, so it won’t be easy to break off the relationship.”
Eugene began to comfort me with such words. In addition, he committed the act of raising his hand over my head like a last time.
“So don’t be too sad.”
…No, what I mean, I’m more curious what the hell are you doing, did you eat something wrong?
I was inevitably caught up in a very strange feeling when I received Eugene’s clumsy touch on my head, but, of course, no one could solve my doubts, so I had no choice but to roll my eyes awkwardly.
*******
“Why do you play with them every day! He is not your brother!”
The second brother did not get tired today.
If it was better than before, it was that he would no longer do anything like grabbing my arms and dragging me out or forcing me out.
Of course it wasn’t that he didn’t try, but for some reason Cabel reached out to impulse and frightened right away, and he couldn’t even touch my arms in the air.
And eventually, He couldn’t put a finger on my body, and he shook his hand again.
Hmm, he don’t want to be punished for being trapped in a room again, even if it’s
a Cabel that I can’t tell back and forth. I thought like that.
“I like brother Johan, and I like playing with him.”
“What?!”
Today, I had a great time with Johannes in playing with origami, and I had to return to my room and face the face of Cabel,
filled with betrayal.
“What do you like about that child!”
“Why? There’s no reason why I don’t like him. He’s nice and sweet and he’s very good to me.”
“Then I? I?!”
No, is this an unconscientious bastard? Do you think there’s no problem there right now?
“I, I also played well with you, and last time I gave you some sweets to eat!”
What is this! Good for you! Now you accuse me betraying you?!
The second brother was expressing a
sense of betrayal toward me with his whole body. Of course, for me, it was just a grumbling.
“Brother comes out to play with me every day, and youdrags me out of the way without asking me.”
“You said you like it too!”
“When did I say I liked it? Brother always pulled my arm before he even heard the answer. Do you know how many bruises I have because of brother after playing?”
“When I am like that!”
“There was a red mark on the arm that my brother had pulled last time, and a bruise on my knee that I got while falling. Did I tell you last time? I’m different from brother, so even if I throw the ball only a few times, my arm hurts and it’s hard.
Have you ever asked me about it once? Have you ever thought that you should ask if I want to do that before playing with the ball?”
In my words, Cabel again became a father. Obviously, he felt like he had never
thought of what I was saying.
In fact, I wasn’t very surprised because I
already knew his reaction gonna be like that.
“In fact, I prefer to fold a piece of paper in a room than to run around the house and catch a cold. And I like playing dolls more than playing ball. But my brother isn’t
care about that, Didn’t you?”
Okay, honestly, origami or doll play wasn’t
the better thing. Now I’m a couple of my age, it’s not going to be fun. But now I have to deal with the second brother.
“Of course, I never say no. I never say I didn’t want to play with brother.”
“Tha, that’s what I mean! You didn’t say no!”
“Yeah, that’s because I like brother Cabel that I’ve played with all of them.”
“What?”
I stared at the second brother as he was surprised at my word. Then his face with a very stupid expression caught my eye.
Cabel had a very clumsy face to see as my words were surprising for him.
“You, do you like me? Me? Really? More than that unlucky man?”
“Of course I liked brother Cabel a lot more.”
Cabel glowed with both eyes at me.
It was the second brother that who express his disliked at Johannes, who was so close to me, and he seemed to feel a
strange competition in him in recent years.
By the way, I confessed that I liked him better than Johannes, who had been playing with me for a while, and it seemed that his self-confident confidence was restored at the same time.
“But you shouted out that I wasn’t your sister when you left me like that in front of brother Johan and Louise?”
Cabel, who had a brighter look, was frustrated by my subsequent words. I stretched my eyebrows towards him and looked sad.
“So you said you wasn’t sorry for anything that hurt me. At that time, brother Cabel wouldn’t know how sad I was.”
“Here is the things, I was so annoyed by that child at that time…”
“So I decided not to like brother now. I’m not going to call brother Cabel
brother from now.”
“Wha-what!”
In my resolute words, Cabel again strucked and got the right face. He was staring at me as if he couldn’t heard
well.
I exhaled a sigh toward Cabel and opened my mouth again.
“That brother is different. Whatever I’m with him, he always ask me what I think first. He never do anything I hate, and he apologize and being so sorry for having done something he thought I don’t like once.”
“I, I can do it too!”
“Besides, unlike brother Cabel, he doesn’t pull my arm hurtingly, brother Johan doesn’t call me trash, and unlike Cabel brother, he doesn’t act like this.”
“Wha- I, I can do better than that child!”
I put my eyes full of doubts and looked at Cabel with the look of ‘You are?’
He was eager to tell me he hated being compared to Johannes. I screamed
towards him and said it last.
“But I’ll admit that until now it’s all my
fault. And now I don’t want to play with my brother who doesn’t even know me.”
Then the second brother faltered and shook.
“I, I didn’t know you could hurt so easily.”
“Yeah, if you don’t know, you’re not sorry, you don’t apologize, or you’re not wrong?”
“I just hit you a bit, but I didn’t even know you could get hurt until it’s bleeding…”
“Wow, I can’t help it too. I’m playing with brother Johan….”
“Oh, I’m sorry!”
Finally, a voice popped out of the mouth of the second brother. When I turned my body back to the door and looked at him, I smirked and Cabel stuttered.
“I have never apologized. So I don’t know how to do it.”
Literally, it was the first time that the second brother acknowledged his fault and apologized.
He seemed very embarrassed and unbearable at this moment.
“That, you got hurt because of me, I’m sorry, Huk.”
I looked at the second brother as he doesn’t know what to do with his body being sloppy.
“So play with me, not him!”
The last one was swarming again. Well,
wouldn’t it be too much to apologize to Johannes?
I was so excited about the second brother, but would I do this today?
“Well, I’m not sure if I can trust you yet.”
“What?!”
“But I still like you a lot, so I’ll think about whether I can play with you in the future.”
“That’s it, isn’t it…? Just thinking about what you want to do!”
“Okay, are you screaming at me horribly?”
“N-no..”
I think I will be able to pour my second childhood facts more effectively than before.
I smiled wickedly into the sneaking back of Cabel, who began to notice my eyes again.
“Huh huh, next time I’ll invite you to our Vastia.”
“Come to my house, sister!”
After the silver fox hunting season, it was a day for the Vastia family to leave Ernst.
We gathered together on the ground floor to see off the guests, like the first day they visited.
But, in fact, Cabel and Erich, who had little time to hang out with them, weren’t very heartful. Well, it’s also applide for Eugene.
From the very beginning, playing with
children like us was different, so he must felt out of the field.
Above all, Cabel, who had fought Johannes, was expressing that he was missing a chance to pay himm off and was not cool inside.
The couple of Ernst were embarrassed because of the second brother who said he felt good from the morning and eagerly waited for this time.
On the other hand, the couple Vastia were happy to see why he was busy growling at their son while staying at the mansion.
I was watching. No, I’m not sure if the Vastias are interpersonal or strange
people as they trying to raise their sons to fight and grow wild.
“Hari.”
I’m trying to say the last greeting as Johannes came to me. Ugh, say goodbye to my future groom. Would he like to exchange letters while he is away?
At first, I saw he was being attacked by Cabel, and I thought I should protect him. However, it turns out that it was Johannes who had a firm and right mind.
Well, so he would have grown up to be such a nice guy 20 years later.
“Well, this is a gift.”
But while I looked at him with a vague glance, Johannes gave me something with a major drop.
“Gift?”
I turned my head at the end of his word and was surprised. It was nothing else that more precious than what Johannes
gave me!
It also shows the number of shiny beads on the base. It’a a communication sphere! It is super expensive that you can use only 5 times!
“If it’s okay, so, maybe you can contact me from time to time.”
Johannes said, and then he couldn’t see my face and bowed his head. His cheeks were red and blue.
The couple of Ernst was also amazed, isn’t it obvious that the person who paid for it, even if it was actually a gift from Johannes, would be their parents, Vastia.
The Vastia couple smiled to the embarrassed Ernst couple.
“My children seem to have become very close to Hari. Johan suddenly came over
a few days ago and asked if he could get a communication sphere.”
“Johan ask us for it even if he shouldn’t have a birthday present for several
years, could you please accept it?”
Ah, this bunch of people, they bought
an expensive communication sphere to use then send it to me to receive
contacts between children in return.
“In fact, I’m glad that Johan came to
Ernst because he had more confidence than before. I think it’d be nice if the children were in contact with each other, too.”
Vastia laughing eyes made my face tickle. Something awkward and unreasonable. It’s like that.
Johannes still bowed his head with a red cheek and mumbled. In that figure, I have a strong heart again.
You can even use it for other things but you’re giving such an expensive gift! In this case, just like a child, you should use it only when you contact me!
“I didn’t not like it! Thanks, brother Johan.”
I smiled with all my heart toward him.
Then, his head slowly lifted and his eyes wide open for a moment and then hardened for a while, and the next moment, his face was dyed red like an
explosion.
“Do you mind have to contact me first?”
“Oh, yeah. I, I can, I will…”
He stuttered as if he didn’t know what to do like when he first met me.
“Hahaha! Yes, stay friendly in the future. Our little children!”
When counting on that look, Count Vastia smiled and laughed and plowed Johannes’s head with affection.
So Vastias family left Ernst.
******
“Oh, it’s my chance!”
As soon as they disappeared, Cabel was
excited and jumped over.
“Penny, let’s go for a snack.”
“Woof!”
Sensitive Erich also noticed that his mind became more comfortable after the guests passed away.
No, in fact, the third brother seems to have been sensitive because the hunting season.
“Melissa, aren’t you tired?”
“It’s okay. I think it’s good to invite Vastia this time, right?”
Duke Ernst’s smiled as Mrs. Ernst said. I watched the two people hold each other’s hands with a strong feeling of mutual contact.
Um, this is what they mean as they invite Vastia this time….
Yes, these two may be trying their own way to get out of their daughter’s shadow.
“You have a new two friends. If you use the communication sphere, you could see their face for a while, so it was good.”
He lightly touched my shoulder and I looked up at Eugene as he passing by.
Surprisingly, he was smiling lightly at me. Even though it wasn’t very much, it was a smile that was only a little recognizable.
“Miss Hari, I’ll move the gift to your room.”
“Thank you, Mr. Butler!”
It was a very peaceful day. I wonder if these days will continue for a long
time. I want it to last long.
*******
“Oh, guys. I’m going to prepare a snack for you today, so tell me what you want to eat.”
“You mustn’t force your body to hard too.”
“I’m fine.”
“I love everything, mother.”
“Oh! Walnut pie, walnut pie!”
“Mom, I want strawberry tart!”
Even though the number of people clearly decreased because the guest left, it was so noisy inside the mansion for some reason.
“What about Hari?”
Mrs. Ernst looked back at me with a gentle smile between the three brothers.
At one point, they seemed so perfect in themselves that I thought I could not get in there.
“You eat macaroons! I want to eat macaroons!”
“Cabel, Hari may want to eat something else.”
“Can I take a walk with my puppy before eating a snack?”
“Yeah, Erich. Are you just going to eat this? Tell me anything you want.”
I looked at the Ernst family from a distance, and then I moved forward to
pretend I couldn’t hear their first call.
“Oh, that’s right. I need to adjust my clothes. I also saw Erich’s last time, and his shorts were a little shorter.”
“Mom, I also want to buy penny clothes.”
“Why don’t we go out together again when the day comes?”
“Mom, I grilled a lizard snake I couldn’t eat last time!”
“How about Hari?”
I replied in a noisy crevice.
“I like it all.”
It’s a bit noisy, distracting, but sometimes it’s not bad for those days of trouble to go on.
For some reason, it seemed like a strangely tickling and warm feeling spread from one corner of my chest.
And as if to laugh at me who was thinking like that, a couple of years later the Ernst couple died.
