The Main Lead Won’t Run Away - Chapter 15

“… … disappeared?”

Rylaine’s expression became serious at the same time.

“On the way I ended my conversation with you yesterday, I tried to find a lady-in-waiting named Helen.”

Kaverion’s eyes slightly twisted.

“But no matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find it. Since I went to the greenhouse with you, no one has seen where you have gone.”

Rylaine’s mouth fell open helplessly.

Does that mean it disappeared in the space of a few hours?

“It looks like you noticed it.”

I was moderately circumspect, but it could have been because I suddenly removed the magnolia.

Rylenne said she hadn’t changed her Magnolia once in years.

‘Damn it, my thoughts were short.’

“Lylaine. don’t worry too much I will search the entire empire to find it.”

Kaverion stroked Rylenne’s head.

The coldness in his eyes was gone.

“Looks like I’ve been really indifferent. Someone is trying to kill you… … You never knew.”

Suddenly, Kaverion’s regret mode was activated again.

‘Why is this human suddenly doing this… … .’

If that’s the case, you’ll be fine right away.

Lailene was awkwardly there, but Kaverion’s hand that was stroking her hair stopped.

“By the way, Rylane.”

“yes?”

“How did you know that someone was trying to kill you using sancho? There’s no way you figured it out on your own.”

Rylenne froze at Kaverion’s unexpected question.

It was because Aiden was embarrassed to say that he found out by looking at the red spot on the nape of his neck.

I’ve always thought of excuses for anything, but this time I couldn’t think of a suitable excuse.

“Lylaine?”

When there was no answer, Kaverion tilted his head.

My mind was busy, but I still couldn’t find the words to say.

“That, that… … .”

Rylenne’s mouth, which was cornered, eventually moved on its own.

“Aiden found out.”

I trusted my mouth, but I never thought I’d say it so honestly.

“Aiden Bedsian… … You mean you figured it out?”

“… … yes.”

Even just looking at Kaverion’s face, it seemed that the planting was not good.

Like when I was talking about Helen earlier, I could tell by looking at the sunken wall.

Lailene thought that now that this had happened, she should put a steel plate on her face and be proud.

“I checked the cell where he was and tried to leave, but he grabbed me. I heard you saw a red spot on the nape of your neck.”

Rylenne continued by recalling the memories of that day.

“I didn’t know what sanacho was, and I had no idea that the red spots on the nape of my neck were caused by it.”

Lailene stared at the blue eyes that were the same color as hers.

“Brother. I don’t like Aiden either, but it’s true that I was helped by him this time.”

Kaverion’s eyebrows twitched at the truth he didn’t want to admit.

“If he hadn’t found out, I would have died slowly, not knowing that someone was trying to assassinate me.”

“Stop saying horrible things!”

Kaverion shouted out loud.

“Even if it’s not Aiden Bedsian… … .”

“Didn’t my older brother tell you earlier? My family didn’t care about me, and I couldn’t even take care of myself.”

Rylane looked up at her brother. Bedsian’s eyes were shaking slightly.

“It’s not about congratulating him. I just want to admit the facts.”

Kaverion did not admit it in the end. However, he soon realized that his silence was positive.

‘This should have been enough.’

Rylaine deliberately smiled brightly and changed her words.

“I’ve been moving since morning, so I’m hungry.”

Carverion had no choice but to nod at Lailene’s soft smile.

“Shall we go to breakfast together?”

* * *

I finished talking about Aiden safely with Kaverion.

Caverion seemed to feel embarrassed about being helped by Aiden, but fortunately, he didn’t show his displeasure for long.

just,

[Try not to expose the nape of the neck to Aiden. It can be dangerous.]

I just ask you to say the same thing.

Laylaine quickly turned her attention to talking about Helen.

Caverion was immediately immersed in the story of the culprit.

The conclusion of the conversation was that we should keep quiet about Helen for the time being.

Especially to Duke Ergen and Helis.

Kaverion thought they wouldn’t be very helpful.

Lailene also agreed. Rather, she would have raised the job if it was useless.

When Lailenne and Kaverion arrived at the dining room while talking, someone was already eating.

It was Helis.

‘I got the wrong time.’

The dukes lived in the same place, but they didn’t have much to do.

It was because the castle was so big, and everyone started their day at different times.

That was the reason why we had a luncheon once a month and saw each other’s faces.

‘But what’s the point of meeting Helis in the morning?’

Thinking she’s going to be unlucky today, Lailene sat down in front of the table.

The comforting fact is that with Kaverion, you won’t be able to giggle like last time.

[Didn’t your older brother slap Aiden when he didn’t listen!]

[Lylaine, as you said, it seems that the family hierarchy has been disturbed a lot. I see Helis talking back to me.]

Recently, Helis was scolded by Kaverion because of a slip of the tongue.

“Hello brother,”

When Caverion sat down, Helis first greeted him politely.

“okay.”

Kaverion replied indifferently.

“Your sister too.”

Helis stared at Rylaine and greeted her. Rylenne nodded her head and accepted her greeting without saying anything else.

Silence passed.

“Hmmmm.”

Helis cleared her throat as if breaking the silence. She then put down the tableware she was holding in her hand.

“There is something I want to say to my brother and sister.”

suddenly what… … .

Lailenne and Kaverion’s eyes turned to Helis.

“I haven’t had any quirks in the meantime. Not only for my sister, but also for my older brother.”

For some reason, Helis bowed her head first.

Rylenne looked at her with a bewildered expression, but she heard Kaverion’s voice from the side.

“If you’re reflecting, that’s fine.”

Helis said, ‘Thank you, brother!’ Then he turned his head to Lailene.

“Are you forgiving my sister too?”

“… … okay.”

I didn’t want to forgive it, but I couldn’t help it because Kaverion spoke generously first.

Helis smiled brightly.

“Thank you. I will work even harder in the future to help the family.”

Lailene thought to herself.

‘I think it’s helpful to stay still.’

“Helis, is the private house restoration project going well?”

Kaverion spoke first, as if his heart had softened a lot to Helis, who behaves like a quiet sheep today.

Helis replied with a twinkle in her eyes.

“yes. First of all, we have completed supplying food to the villagers. I was able to get wheat at a cheap price in Nazmin’s territory, which was in good condition. This transaction is neat, so I will continue to buy wheat from Nazmin.”

“Good job.”

Kaverion said nonchalantly while mixing the salad and sauce.

Even though he didn’t feel much soul in Kaverion’s praise, Helis’ complexion improved noticeably.

“And now that the urgent fire has been turned off, I intend to look after the house for a while.”

Lailene managed to hold back the moment she almost asked, ‘You?’

“Because my older brother is busy with the knights, and my father is often out.”

After speaking, Helis put on a sad expression.

“Your sister is not feeling well.”

It seemed that he took care of it because he was afraid that he would feel bad for not mentioning himself.

‘Why are you doing that all of a sudden, really.’

Lailene was very suspicious of Helis’ attitude, who pretended to be polite today.

However, it was only a heart attack, so I couldn’t say anything.

Helis looked at Rylaine and continued.

“… … I will pay special attention to Aiden Bedsian.”

Rylenne’s spoon stopped in the air.

“Aiden… … ?”

“No matter how much I think about it, it’s because I don’t think it’s going to be easy for a weak person like you to deal with Aiden.”

Rylaine’s brow furrowed.

It seemed that Helis still hadn’t let go of her attachment to Aiden.

“Aiden is closely watched by me.”

“You don’t have to refuse because I’m sorry.”

Helis laughed and shook her head.

“Because two are better than one. Isn’t that so, brother?”

Carberion, please say no!

Lailene prayed inwardly.

“It’s already been done by Rylenne.”

Nice, Caverion.

Lailene wanted to kiss Caverion on the cheek.

A look of disappointment was evident on Helis’ face.

“… … All right.”

Helis, who had been weakly bent, lifted her neck again and looked at Rylenne.

“Still, it would be okay to go to the dungeon at least once, right?”

Helis continued with a curious look.

“I heard that the corporal punishment was lifted because I lowered my head apologetically, but I was curious to see how much of that miasma had gone.”

Lailenne was very reluctant to visit Helis.

Helis had changed her attitude now, as if she had taken some medicine, but she didn’t know how to act in front of Aiden.

“not… … .”

“At least once would be fine.”

I tried to say no, but Kaverion answered instead.

Lailene put down the cutlery and drank water. It was to block my mouth from saying no.

I didn’t know if I would be misunderstood for nothing if I ran wild about saying no to this place.

Rylane tried hard to reassure herself.

‘okay… … . As Kaverion said, at least once would be fine.’

No matter how much Helis, what will happen between one look?

“Does your sister allow it too?”

Lailene put down her glass and spoke to Helis.

“… … Only once.”

Helis grinned at the permission.

“Thank you, sister.”

* * *

I gave permission, but I became more and more anxious.

It was because he remembered what Helis had said in the past.

[It’s enough to defeat a beast that doesn’t listen. Because pain works for both animals and humans.]

Throughout the meal, Rylenne did not know whether food was going into her nose or mouth.

After finishing the meal in a hurry, Lailenne approached Helis who was about to leave.

“Helis.”

“yes?”

“When are you going to go to the dungeon?”

Helis rolled her eyes.

“I do not know. When do you feel like it? But why?”

“When you go to the dungeon, you will have to go with me.”

I could never send Helis alone. She seemed to be relieved to see what she was doing.

“why?”

“… … I have the cell key, so you can’t get in alone.”

In fact, the key was held by Haele, the jailer.

He lied to prevent Helis from leaving untimely.

“Ah, is that so? Okay. Then let’s do it.”

When Helis obediently agreed, Rylenne was able to breathe.
