I’ve Been Reincarnated as a Villainess’ Older Brother - CH 124

During my morning run, I have a final meeting with Diana at Il Valeno.

“Did Sasha read the book I gave him?”

“I think I read it because you told me that it was interesting.”

“Did you like it…?”

I high-five the gatekeeper knight as I pass by him.

The current early morning gatekeeper is a young knight who has just arrived with his father, who recently returned from the territory. At first, I was puzzled by Diana and Il Valeno, who held out one hand every time we passed by the gate during our run, but after Diana told me to clap hands, we started high-fiving every time we passed each other.

“We’ve read Il’s violent king, and Di’s book about the former prime minister’s journey to reform the world, so let’s finally carry out the strategy.”

“…You’re going to do it, aren’t you?”

“We’ll do it!”

Il Valeno was not very enthusiastic about it, but since he had already decided to do it, he had no choice if he was told to do it.

“Well then, I don’t have art class today, so I’ll do it before tea time.”

“Okay, please prepare, Ill.”

“Okay.”

After a detailed discussion, the two split up just in time for breakfast.

“Sasha. We have some time before tea time, so let’s go to the garden to look at the flowers.”

Diana smiled gracefully and agreed.

“Yes, I understand. The sun is going to be very strong today, so I will bring you a sunshade.”

“Yes, please.”

When Sascha was ready to go out, Diana took Sasha with her into the garden. After a slow walk around the front yard and a look at the seasonal flowers, Diana turned around and smiled at Sasha.

“Hey Sasha, I want to send flowers to my brother and I want them to bloom right around the time they arrive.”

“I see. I heard that there are flowers planted in the backyard in the greenhouse… before they bloom, they are being prepared for replanting. Would you like to go?”

“Yes, I would like to go. Let’s go.”

Diana and Sasha walked along the mansion’s wall to move to the backyard.

They came to a place where large trees were planted in a row along the wall. In spring, the trees are beautiful with many small white flowers, but now the trees are thickly covered with dark green leaves and the shade is thickening and it is a little dim.

Sasha noticed that a shovel for digging holes had fallen where Diana was walking.

The old gardener who worked at the mansion was a man who did his job well. I thought it was strange because I had never expected him to leave his tools of the trade behind like this.

Sasha, who had folded the parasol under the shade of a tree, went ahead of Diana and moved the shovel so that she would not fall.

Just as Sasha was about to speed up to pass Diana, Diana stuck her right hand out to the side and blocked Sasha’s path.

“Sasha, stop!”

“Diana?”

Diana and Sasha both stopped and Diana looked up at the top of the tree.

A rustling sound was heard and a man in all black descended from the tree tops.

“Duke’s daughter, Diana Elgrandark”

“Yes, I am.”

The black-clad man called her name, and Diana affirmed it.

Hearing this, the man took a knife from behind his back and held it in both hands, backhanded.

“I’ll take your life!” Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”

A man all in black ran toward Diana. Sasha couldn’t move quickly enough, but Diana took a big step forward.

Diana stepped on the end of the shovel as hard as she could, and the handle jumped up.

She grabbed the handle of the shovel and swung it in front of her body, holding it with both hands.

The man in all black twists his body and swings his knife as hard as he can. Diana flicks it with the tip of her shovel and then spins the shovel around so that the impact of the flicking blow is washed away, and flicks the second blow with the back of the shovel.

The black man, who had two knives in each hand and was hit twice in a row, backflips to the rear to get away from her.

“I don’t know who you are, but I can’t give you my life.”

Diana grinned at that.

She took two steps to the side and stood in front of Sasha, shovel ready in her hand.

“Diana, you shouldn’t do that”

Sasha was about to put her hand on Diana’s shoulder when the black man came running out again. Diana now went for him herself.

She swung her shovel as hard as she could at the black monster. The black man stayed low as if he was on the ground, and then he cut up from below with his knife.

Diana spun her body around so as not to oppose the centrifugal force of the shovel, and popped the black man’s knife with her kick heel in the manner of a backward kick.

The knife is gone, and the black man flows his body and rolls sideways so as not to go against the direction he was kicked, then kicks the ground and flies up toward Diana, who kicks the wall.

Diana holds the handle of a shovel with both hands toward the black man who tries to jump-kick her from the air.

When she receives the toe with the handle, she lifts it up as if doing a hurray and channels the force upward. The black exhausted man who lost his balance when his legs were entangled barely landed as he spun in the air and rolled backwards to get away.

“Why don’t you pull out soon, the security knights will come.”

Diana said, and the black bastard clicked his tongue and finally threw a knife at her.

Diana took it with the shovel’s shaft sticking out in front of her. The knife was deeply stuck in the wooden shaft.

The black bastard had disappeared into the branches of the tree, and at the same time he threw the knife.

“Sasha, are you all right? That was scary. Let’s go back to the room.”

Diana turned around smiling as if nothing had happened, and Sasha nodded with a white face.

Back in the room, Diana sat down on the couch and motioned for Sasha to take a seat across from her.

They both sighed and sat down a little loosely, leaning their weight on the backrest. Normally Sasha would scold her for her bad posture, but today she was too tired herself to pay attention, and Sasha herself sat leaning back.

There was a knock at the door and Il Valeno entered.

“Il Valeno. Can you make some tea? For three.”

“Yes, of course.”

Diana asked Il Valeno to make tea, which he did, and he accepted it graciously and walked to the shelf where the teapot was.

When the sound of bubbling water was heard, Sasha called out, “Diana, you are a strong woman.”

Ha! she thought, but Diana restrained herself from showing emotion with a clear, ladylike face. She smiled softly and nodded slowly toward Sasha.

“A lady should not be so strong with the sword, so please don’t tell anyone. My father and mother would be furious if they knew.’

“I see.”

Il Valeno, who had brought three cups, put them in front of each of them.

Then she sits down on the one-person sofa next to Sasha, takes her own cup, and puffs on it.

“You see, Sasha, Diana, the eldest daughter of the Duke and Lady, is a mask for the world.”

“……, a mask to hide from the world.”

“It’s because of you that I’m going to reveal my secret, Sasha.”

Diana folds her hands in front of her chest and looks at Sasha with her chin pulled back and her eyes upward.

Sasha was staring at Diana so intently that she was unaware that the eyes of Il Valeno, who was cooling his tea in the chair next to hers, were swimming.
