TBFV 17

Count Rudin and his wife opened their lips in daze.

It was a remark and action that completely destroyed the common sense of social circles.

And Chesha was also opening her mouth at the twins’ intense reaction

‘Are they taking care of me because I became a Basilian?’

She was an adopted child brought in out of necessity.

Of course, they had been a little closer lately, but….

‘Well, it’s fake anyway.’

Chesha observes the twins with a slightly new vision.

Meanwhile, Belzeon woke up belatedly.

“Karha, Ishuel!”

They looked up as he called their name coldly.

The twins pursed their lips at the same time.

Karha took the sword again and went next to Ishuel.

Belzeon apologized to Count Rudin and his wife on behalf of the twins.

“Sorry. My siblings are still young and immature. Please kindly forgive them.”

Even though they are the same aristocrats, no matter how much it was, they couldn’t treat Count Rudin, who was a major figure in the capital’s society who is even a servant of the emperor, that way.

No matter what the inside was, it was all the more so because Count Rudin’s outward action was ‘to help’.

Belzeon’s behavior now was the result of an extremely rational judgment.

Count Rudin, who finally met an opponent with common sense, went wild.

“What the hell, not just the father, all the sons are rude!”

He shouted that he hadn’t liked them ever since he came up from the East.

Next to Count Rudin, the countess burst into tears.

Belzeon quietly apologized again in front of Count Rudin, who spattered his spittle and writhed.

“I am sorry.”

“Ha! I don’t want to talk to children anymore. Now that this has happened, what is Count Basilian doing?”

“Count Basilian is.”

Belzeon paused without speaking.

Count Rudin pressed again.

“Why doesn’t Kiern Basilian come running quickly, what’s he doing! Call him right away!”

“….”

Belzeon pursed his lips several times.

But in the end, he couldn’t say anything.

Count Rudin laughed as if he was full of energy.

“It’s worth knowing how the Count Basilian family works.”

He lowered his voice and murmured softly.

“This is why it shows that the children grew up without a mother….”

Fire flew from Ishuel and Karha’s eyes.

This time, with the force to kill the count couple.

But they didn’t do anything

It was because Belzeon had sent a warning gaze.

“….”

The twins gritted their teeth and endured it.

Meanwhile, Count Rudin arrogantly warned.

“I will never let this go unnoticed.”

He took his weeping wife by his side and left the drawing room.

The servants were all startled and ran to the door as they hurriedly slammed the door open.

Count Rudin shouted loudly as if his subordinates could hear him.

“It would be better if Count Basilian himself came to apologize for the rudeness!”

In order to see Count Rudin off as he went out wheezing, the servants chased after him.

Only Basilian’s three brothers and Chesha remained in the drawing room.

The twins and Chesha looked at Belzeon.

“Older brother! I’m going to kill him right now…!”

Ishuel, who had shouted with his eyes shining bright red, closed his mouth.

It was because the atmosphere in Belzeon was unusual.

Belzeon was not angry.

He remained expressionless for a moment, then took a small breath.

Then he looked back slowly and said.

“Don’t do anything.”

He left, disappeared with only one word.

The little ones left in the drawing room were very depressed.

Normally, the two of them would have been chatting and fussing, but the atmosphere was gloomy.

Ishuel hugged Chesha and muttered.

“My brother apologized.”

He bit his lower lip until it turned white, then spoke again.

“It hurts my pride.”

“… Me too.”

The twins were silent for some time.

A gloomy silence fell between the two.

Karha, who had kept his lips tightly shut, suddenly shouted out loud.

“But what did I do wrong? That woman started a fight! She looked at baby and said something about the orphanage!”

Karha groaned and pointed at Chesha.

“She’s still small, but she also has ears! She understands everything!”

“I guess it’s the social world who tolerates things like that.”

“How can I hold up? What if I can’t stand it?”

“We should have more power.”

“We have none now, that power.”

“That’s right.”

Karha clenched his fists in anger.

“Should I just kill him?”

“Let’s kill him. Do you want to go tonight?”

Ishuel actively supported Karha’s opinion.

As if he was a little scared when Ishuel laid the board, agonized, Karha started to step out.

“Hey, what if we get caught? Belzeon will be really angry.”

“Brother, you can’t kill a human because you’re afraid?”

“No, not that….”

While the twins were arguing over Count Rudin and his wife, Chesha pursed her lips.

Belzeon apologized, and seeing the twins depressed made her feel very bad.

Especially the boy who couldn’t say anything in front of an angry adult.

A small back figure that had quietly disappeared after everything had been settled kept appearing in front of her eyes.

‘It’s really bothersome….’

In the end, Chesha decided to find Belzeon.

“Take me down!”

“Huh? Do you want to go to bed?”

“Yes.”

When she said she would ask the servants to take her, he let her go.

Perhaps the twins were planning to kill Count Rudin and his wife in the drawing room.

Coming out of the drawing room, Chesha summoned a small butterfly.

It was a butterfly that found people within a certain range.

“Beltzeon.”

When she said the name of the target, the butterfly began flapping its wings.

After flying for some time, the butterfly landed in front of the study door.

Chasing the butterfly, Chesha looked up at the door for a moment.

She was worried for a moment about how to open the doorknob, but luckily the study door was slightly open.

Chesha was able to go inside without difficulty.

Of course, she did not forget to prepare a bribe for Belzeon before entering.

The study was drowsy under the afternoon sunlight.

The library, filled with the unique smell of books, was a space with a warm atmosphere.

There was a long sofa and a table, so anyone could read a book comfortably.

But even after checking the chairs filled with soft cushions, Belzeon was nowhere to be found.

After wandering around and searching for a long time, she finally found the target.

Belzeon was shutting himself in the corner of the study.

The corner between the bookcase and the wall.

The boy, crouched down on the cold stone floor, looked small.

The appearance of pulling his knees and holding it in his arms was infinitely young and weak.

It was unbelievable how he acted like an adult in the drawing room.

‘He cried?’

Chesha tilted her head and looked around.

Belzeon did not cry.

He just looked down at the floor with a dry gaze.

But that appearance bothered her more than his crying figure.

She thought it would be better for him to cry out loud.

Chesha approached cautiously.

When she deliberately made footsteps, Belzeon, who had been staring at the floor, slowly raised his head.

“….”

Discovering Chesha, he frowned slightly.

But he didn’t kick her out, he just looked at her and then looked away.

It was an unspoken permission.

Chesha approached right in front of Belzeon.

“Ecuse me.”

They are still not too close to each other to be called siblings, so she chose an ambiguous greeting.

“I’ll cit down hew fo a while.”

Sitting side by side next to Belzeon with their buttocks attached, she added a poor excuse.

“… My leg huwts.”

She wanted to offer some kind of plausible comfort, but there was no way she knew that.

So she decided to just stay by his side.

‘Because Hata liked it when I was with him when he was having nightmares.’

He might have wanted something similar.

Belzeon and Chesha sat side by side for a long time with their buttocks pressed against the stone floor.

By the time the cold stone floor became lukewarm with body heat.

A low voice was heard.

“Karha and Ishuel came because you have a Basilian’s name. It’s not for you.”

Wondered what he was about to say, but as soon as he opened his mouth, it was a nasty sound.

Belzeon looked at Chesha.

“And I’m the one who doesn’t want you to be a Basilian.”

The red eyes firmly drew a line.

“It means that there is nothing to be gained by fawning over me.”

“What is fawn?”

“….”

Chesha just pretended not to understand.

It was a sentence too profound for a 2 year old to understand.

She gave the prepared bribe to Belzeon, who sighed.

It was a lily of the valley with a white bud.

“Take dis.”

Everyone feels better when they smell the fresh scent of flowers.

She just hoped Belzeon’s mood would improve a little bit.

Belzeon looked at the flower with blunt eyes and took it away.

His eyes, which had been gazing at the flower pretending to be indifferent, gradually shook slightly.

His jaw stiffened.

It was like holding on tight.

She felt sorry for his trembling body.

Hesitating, Chesha carefully placed her hand on his cheek.

The moment a small hand touches.

Tears fell from Belzeon’s eyes.
