The Villain’s Daughter Plans to Run Away - Chapter 53
The next day.
I opened the door to the training ground.
“Hello, Dust.”
“Hello, little sister.”
Pink hair like cherry blossoms fluttered through the open door.
Two handsome faces who looked identical as if they had been stamped were greeting me.
Both looked identical, but I could tell who was who because of the atmosphere.
Kai is the one who looks slightly crooked with only one corner of his lips raised.
Bian, who had a soft mouth and eye smile, looked more mature than Kai.
“…”
I nodded my head with my arms crossed.
Of course, I had no intention of taking it lightly.
“We want to apologize.”
“Hmm.”
“And give you a gift.”
“…?”
A gift?
Although I pretended to harden my face.
At the corner of my lips, which twitched subtly, Kai slipped something out of his pocket.
It was a dagger that looked good at first glance.
“It’s the Oscuridas dagger made in Durix Mine.”
‘What is Oscuridas? Some type of dinosaur?’
That’s an odd name.
But the dagger looked good at first glance.
Overall, it was semi-matte, close to black, giving off a calm yet subtle light.
The size also was just right for my hand.
“We said that a dagger would suit you at that time.”
“That’s why I specially brought it for my little sister.”
Although I didn’t like it, Bian’s unique pretty voice gave me confidence.
“Hmm.”
I pondered for a while.
After fiddling with my chin, I finally accepted the gift without a word.
“Lil sis!”
“Dust, take our apologies…”
And by the time the older brothers’ tense faces turned bright.
Bang!
I deliberately closed the door with a loud noise, and walked away.
The next day.
“You can only eat two slices of cake a day? Do you want me to give you one?”
“Brother will give you mine too. So, four in total?”
When I opened the bedroom door and walked down the hallway.
The older brothers who had been following in Lisa’s place like servants smiled mischievously.
The twin brothers’ apologies continued for several days.
They usually brought gifts with apologies.
“Hmm.”
Pretending to be concerned, there were many days when I just received gifts and went back without saying anything.
I, who only received the cake this time, was about to go back to the bedroom.
“Do you want to eat with us?”
Kai, who was leaning against the wall, hurriedly blocked my path.
His tone was light, but his expression looked very earnest.
“Don’t wanna.”
“We brought this to eat together with you, though?”
Then Bian, who was next to him, also helped.
“Then I won’t eat.”
“No, you eat. Eat all of it.”
“Of course. Little sister has to eat all the cake.”
“Hmm.”
Now I can talk..
‘I’ll eat one, and I’ll keep the other near the birdhead’s beak.’
After reaping the harvest today, I went into the bedroom and closed the door shut so my brothers couldn’t come in.
“Is today the end?”
I want to eat cake that much, though.
I stopped the fork as I heard over the closed door to the sound of the two older brothers’ conversation.
“I told you. It won’t work out easily.”
“I know.”
“Billie will hate us even more if we cling to her any more. So let’s go back.”
“But can’t we eat the cake together? Although we say sorry like this.”
“I guess not today. Let’s come back tomorrow.”
“Geez. Got it. We should come again tomorrow.”
Leaning the door behind me, I munched on the cake while listening to the conversation.
It was a bit odd.
Pitiful older brothers.
That look overlapped with my past, when I was anxious to get close to Sian.
‘I wonder if Sian felt like this too.’
“…By the way, how is he doing?”
Tremble.
My legs were weak.
I was sitting there, leaning against the door.
“Aaah! It’s not the time to be like this. I need to train!”
There is no time.
I have to try.
I, who received God’s mercy, must do it.
I soon got up and ran to the training ground.
“Princess! You seem to be overdoing it a bit…”
“No!”
“…But now, your hands…”
Thudㅡ
“Princess!”
But weren’t regressors omnipotent?
“Call the doctor, quickly!”
“Princeeeeess!”
When I went through the training I hadn’t done in a week, I lost my strength.
I collapsed helplessly at Lynn’s light attack and passed out.
***
“The kid fell down during training?”
“You mean she can’t even sleep?”
That night.
After grasping the situation, the twins went to find Agasa.
“Does this make sense now? How do you care for a 5-year-old?”
“If Dad’s an asshole, Agasa, you too have to take care of Billie, don’t you. And did you get a babysitter?”
After failing to reconcile with their sister.
It was when they were trudging along with a despondent heart and having a meeting on how to open up Billishia’s heart.
At one point in the distance, people started to gather.
First, knights.
Maids.
They realized something was wrong when at last, the doctor rushed in.
“Why is she hurt?”
They pursed their lips, ready to explode at any moment.
Their sister was lying on the bed in the treatment room.
The bandages wrapped around her seemed too difficult for her small upper body to handle.
It was evident that she had injured her ribs.
“I heard that she was injured during a sparring with Lynn.”
“She can’t even sleep?”
Kai didn’t like Agasa’s way of speaking.
He growled and asked.
“Yes.”
“Other than that?”
“Because getting hurt during sparring is a common occurrence.”
“Is it normal for Dust to get hurt?”
“It’s not, however…”
Agasa, who stood beside her and guarded her, had a surprisingly calm expression on his face.
“She will get better soon.”
But it was a bit strange.
Even though he was talking about the injury of the Princess whom he cherished so much. There was no agitation on his numb face.
As if he expected this situation.
“… So you’re saying it’s fine for her to get hurt from not sleeping and training too hard?”
“When you consider that the Princess is 5 years old. Yes, she overdid it.”
“And yet you… Aren’t you even worried about her?!”
“Kai.”
Let the furious Kai try to attack Agasa.
Bian hastily grabbed him by the shoulder and restrained him.
Fortunately, Bian was more calm than Kai.
However, the coolly hardened blue eyes were quietly observing Agasa.
‘He’s hiding something.’
ㅡthat we don’t know.
Something that only Agasa knew.
“Anyway, little sister will only be uncomfortable if we make a fuss here. Let’s leave until she wakes up.”
“Hey, Bian! What are you talking about? Until Dust wakes up, we…”
“Let’s get out of the way.”
Firm tone.
Smiling corner of his lips.
“…That,”
Kai, who instinctively tried to reply, paused and became quiet.
Bian laughed contrary to the situation.
That means he has something else to say.
“Geez. Then, augh! I don’t know. I can just go out!”
Pretend, pretend.
They were able to communicate with each other with just one glance, then they quickly came together and left the treatment room.
“What is it.”
And after walking a few steps
Finally, an impatient Kai put his hands on his waist and asked.
“Didn’t Agasa talk briefly in the treatment room?”
“Really?”
It was at this point that Kai’s spirit calmed down.
“Didn’t Agasa look different than usual in the treatment room? Think about it.”
A deserted hallway.
A question cutting through the still air.
Bian shook his head.
It was a face telling him to be serious because he wasn’t kidding.
“Hmm. Come to think of it.”
“Originally, if needed, he tells us everything. Because we’re Vallois.”
Bian narrowed his eyes.
“Remember the last time we talked at the dining room? I truly felt that he cared for little sister so much. But seeing today.”
Kai groaned and replied.
“The look on your face made me want to hit him.”
“That is why it’s strange. A Vallois, whom he cherishes so much, is injured, yet he can be calm?”
“Rather, it was a gaze as if he expected that.”
“Mm.”
“He explained things like shit to us.”
“That’s right.”
“There’s no way there’s smoke coming out of the chimney otherwise.”
“Exactly.”
A moment of silence passed.
Bian gave Kai time to think..
The two had different personalities and often quarreled.
However, as Vallois has been through a difficult time, they knew how to be considerate of each other’s tendencies in serious situations.
“…So in conclusion, Agasa is hiding something?”
“I think so.”
At his brother’s insistence, Kai shutted his mouth.
After a few minutes like that.
“…I think so too.”
A deserted hallway.
The two Vallois agreed and exchanged terrifying glances.
***
The next morning.
“Where did Agasa go?”
“Sir Agasa has just entered the meeting. I heard it starts at 10 o’clock?”
The maid knew nothing.
“Ah, really?”
Kai laughed inwardly and grunted as usual.
“I asked him to have breakfast with me… Agasa that bastard…”
Murmur. Murmur.
After walking for such a long time, he found a pink cotton candy sticking out from between the corners.
“Hey. It’s 10 o’clock.”
“Then it starts in 30 minutes?”
Bian, who had been waiting in advance from beyond the corner of the wall, jumped out.
“You call that hiding.”
“I was just standing there.”
“Gosh. It seems like you’re hiding because of how clumsy that was.”
“But I can’t help it. Kai is my older brother, you know?”
“…?”
The two quarreled as soon as they met, but immediately focused on the plan.
Today was an important day.
Because they were thinking of digging into Agasa’s dubious secret.
‘By using Magi.’
Magi had different skills depending on the person’s characteristics.
Perhaps that’s the reason.
Some even called Magi a ‘natural blessing.’
Shoongㅡ
Clack.
Like this.
Just like 10-year-old Bian could teleport with one finger.
“Meeting room?”
“Yep. Meeting room. We moved under the table.”
Under the huge desk.
Unconsciously raising his head, Kai, who hit the crown of his head, frowned.
“…Augh.”
“Stay still, Kai.”
Their plan was simple.
‘Eavesdropping on Agasa’s real intention by figuring out his schedule.’
In fact, this plan was an absurd scenario given that Agasa was Vallois’ chief aide.
However, they had bloodlines from Magi and Vallois.
Thanks to this, they were able to pass minor problems lightly with perfect credit.
Let’s wait for such a long time.
They heard the door close.
[Seeing the sound of heels, three people?]
[A small group meeting means it’s a confidential meeting.]
The twins, who were exchanging glances with rabbit eyes, shrank.
“!”
Suddenly, long legs came in on either side of them.
“It’s an unexpected disaster. Certainly, the future was bright when the regular banquet was held.”
“I know.”
“The family head of Vallois has changed. When Vallois’ image is getting better in society because we’re making a new start…”
“No one knows yet. At that time, when the Princess was kidnapped, only the elites of Vallois knew about it.”
“This letter is the important thing.”
The conversation that went on.
The twins’ faces grew serious.
This wasn’t just a Billishia problem.
