The Villain Saves The Male Lead - Chapter 162
“Daddy is handsome, and Papa is pretty,” Smoke said proudly. “I’m going to be as tall as Papa and I’m going to have a face like Daddy, so I’ll be really cool when I grow up!”
“Me, too! Me, too!” Shadow agreed with his twin brother right away.
“And we shall do the opposite,” Snow said, licking her paw lazily. “We will take Daddy’s slim physique and Papa’s face.”
“You girls had better be stronger and tougher than your delicate Daddy,” Wolf warned. “I won’t have my nieces – or my nephews – be unable to teach anyone a lesson! If anyone dares to pester you, I want you to be able to beat the pulp out of them right away!”
“Yes, Uncle Wolf,” all four babies said together at the same time, making everyone chuckle.
Sylvia turned back into her snake form because her human baby form still couldn’t speak as clearly and most of her words came out garbled, much to her annoyance.
“Daddy can fight, too!” Sylvia said defensively. “He just doesn’t like to. But he does it when he needs to!”
“That’s true enough,” Wolf conceded, patting Sylvia’s head affectionately. “But he’s not as strong as I’d like him to be. I want all of you to take after Fang for this, all right?”
No one objected to that.
“The babies are in excellent health,” Pax said. “I am sure they will grow up to be even taller and stronger and smarter than both Fang and Ren.”
“I’ll look forward to that, then,” Wolf said happily.
The Dragon Queen and Prince Uno couldn’t help but burst out laughing at these interactions, overcoming their initial shock.
Prince Uno turned to the Dragon Queen. “Mother,” he said quietly. “Perhaps Cousin Fang and Chairman Ren may be able to awaken Big Uncle’s familiar from his slumber.”
The Dragon Queen nodded. “You may be right, Uno,” she murmured. “We will discuss this later, and when Fang and Ren have a chance to visit the Dragon Nation next, we could take them to him…”
Fang was curious about this slumbering familiar, but decided that he would enquire about it later. Right now, he was content enough to carry out Ren’s birthday plans without a hitch.
Fang was just wondering if he should wait for the other two guests to arrive or take the Dragon Queen and Prince Uno on a tour of the house when Steward Paul walked in with a beautiful young woman with her features strikingly similar to Fang, except that her eyes were not purple like him.
“Una!” the Dragon Queen and Prince Uno called happily as soon as they spotted her.
Princess Una, crown princes of the Dragon Nation, walked over in an elegant manner, her fiancé, Zeus, from Snow Country, trailing behind her.
Zeus did a double take when his eyes fell on Fang.
“Heavens, Una – your cousin looks more like your twin brother than Uno! If you take off your coloured lenses, even your eye colours are the same!” Zeus exclaimed. “If he was a little older, you would totally be twins!”
Princess Una blinked and her eyes raked over Fang speculatively.
“We finally meet, little brother,” she said quietly, holding out her hand.
Fang took her hand. “Hello,” he said simply, not knowing what else to say.
Princess Una pulled him into a hug. “I know the truth, little brother,” she whispered emotionally in his ear. “I was there when you were born. I’m sorry I couldn’t find you all these years…”
Fang blinked rapidly to stem his own emotions from leaking out of his eyes.
Princess Una released him and then caressed his face lovingly. “You have grown up so beautifully,” she murmured. “Introduce me to your family, little brother.” She paused for a moment and then said to Fang quickly, “Wait, show me to the washroom first, I want to take off my coloured lenses and look at you properly and see how much we match!”
Everyone laughed at that, and Fang led his older sister to the nearest washroom. The truth was that her eye colour was changed with magic, and not coloured lenses, but Una didn’t want to hide her true appearance from her fiancé, so she had showed him her original eyes and claimed that it was coloured lenses she had to wear.
“Mother tells me that you have magic, too,” Princess Una said, undoing the spell on her eyes.
Fang nodded, watching her with wide eyes. They really looked rather similar, he thought. And Sylvia truly was a miniature version of Princess Una.
Princess Una slung an arm around Fang’s shoulders. “You are really cute, little brother,” she said, pinching his cheeks. “Now show me your family – does this Chairman Ren treat you well?” she asked.
“He does,” Fang said truthfully. “He treats me so well that sometimes I feel that I am living in a dream. Or that I died in the orphanage and went to heaven, and Ren is my guardian angel,” he added in a soft voice. He didn’t know why, but his heart automatically opened up to this big sister of his that he was seeing for the first time. Even he was surprised at himself for being so candid with her within minutes of meeting her!
Princess Una’s eyes widened in shock. She hadn’t expected this, either. She had always had this emptiness in her heart of having lost the little baby brother who she had barely caught a glimpse of before he was taken away, so she had a lifetime of affection that had been piling up for Fang for the last eighteen years – but for Fang, who hadn’t even known that he had an older sister until a few days ago – could this be the legendary bond of blood that was unique to siblings?
“The Dragon Queen – er, Aunt – she mentioned to Ren that you don’t remember anything about what happened back then, and that you, too, think that you are Prince Uno’s twin sister,” Fang said quietly, trying to cover up his earlier indiscretion.
Princess Una smiled. “Uno and I know – but it is less distressing for Mother to believe what she does,” she murmured. She patted Fang’s beautiful face again. “Ah, my lovely little brother – I can’t tell you how happy I am that we have finally found you…” she murmured, and this time she didn’t supress the tears that sprang to her eyes.
Seeing her cry, Fang’s own eyes watered as well.
The two siblings hugged each other again, tears spilling down their similarly beautiful faces.
“Fang…?” Ren’s soft voice came from nearby.
Fang immediately sprang away from his older sister and turned to look at his beloved fiancé. He rubbed his eyes quickly to remove any traces that he had been crying a bit earlier.
“Ren, I…” Fang began, but he was interrupted by Ren rushing over to him in a hurry at the sight of his reddened eyes.
Ren would always know when Fang had been crying – simply because no one paid as much attention to Fang as Ren did.
“What happened?” Ren asked quietly, touching Fang’s face with gentle fingers.
Fang shook his head. “I was just a bit emotional,” he murmured. “Ren, meet my older sister, Princess Una.”
Ren didn’t look very convinced, but courtesy was something that had been grilled into him from a very young age just like all standard blue blooded people. In terms of etiquette and upbringing, Ren was actually a lot more like a true noble prince than Fang.
“Hello, Princess Una,” Ren said politely, greeting her with the standard greeting of the Dragon Nation.
Princess Una was delighted to see Ren adopt the mannerism of her country. “Well met, Chairman Ren,” she greeted.
“Big Sister remembers me,” Fang said to Ren. He had a silly grin on his face, and his cheeks were flushed with happiness.
Ren arched an eyebrow, because it was one of the first things that the Dragon Queen had told him – that Princess Una didn’t remember anything about her original family or her little brother.
“Of course I will remember my cute little brother,” Princess Una said with a chuckle. “I was there when little Fang was born, after all,” she said. “And, if I’m not mistaken, your name ‘Fang’ comes from the piece of jade that I put on you when you were born – it was a clear white and shaped like a dragon’s fang. Of course, I expect that those evil rogues who stole you away would have snatched that jade from your clothes as well…but still, at least they let you keep the name I gave you indirectly…” Her eyes brimmed with tears as she glanced at Ren. “Thank you, Chairman Ren, for finding him and bringing him home. I cannot even begin to tell you how grateful I am to you for saving my little brother and making him happy and letting him prosper on his own.. I have been looking for him everywhere – and then, when I finally saw him in the advertisements of our tourism department last year, I could barely believe my eyes.”
