TBFV 6

It was famous that Count Basilian had three sons with his dead wife.

However, the count’s three brothers are unknown to the outside world.

Because they have never been seen.

Before Chesha infiltrated the count’s house, she diligently gathered information from the backworld, but to no avail.

She could barely figure out their ages, names, and simple appearances.

The eldest son is thirteen this year.

And the twins below were 11 years old.

She opened her eyes wide and looked intently at the boys in the distance.

‘Each of them seems to have a different personality?’

Even the twins didn’t seem to resemble each other very much.

Wanting to take a closer look, she leaned out, but Kiern let out a low sigh.

He closed the window and put Chesha back on the desk.

Then, suddenly, he took out a sword lying on one side of the office.

The low, cool sound of a sword being drawn shook the air eerily.

The dark black blade that seemed to absorb even sunlight was unique.

Chesha, who was briefly distracted by the unusual sword, blinked.

It was because Kiern, who looked at the blade of the sword in the light, was a little unfamiliar.

It wasn’t the eyes that were languid like the afternoon sunlight that she had been staring at for days.

Red eyes with a gleaming glow were creepy.

An innate dread ran down her spine.

However, the strange atmosphere quickly dissipated.

“Chesha.”

Kiern smiled and looked back at Chesha.

“I think Daddy will be busy for a while….”

He asked, his eyes narrowing like crescent moons.

“Can you be alone without Daddy?”

It was exactly what she was hoping for.

“Yees!”

Chesha nodded enthusiastically.

It was then.

The sound of well-groomed footsteps was heard.

At the end of the footsteps that followed one step at a time, a knocking sound was heard.

“Come in.”

When permission was granted, the door opened.

A boy in a knight’s uniform entered the office.

He was a boy with a completely different feeling from Kiern, who had a relaxed and laid-back atmosphere.

The boy, like a sharpened blade, looked straight at Chesha.

The red eyes which were like the blood of a dove stared at the small baby.

The cold eyes that stretched out in a straight line were frowning.

A brief silence passed.

Chesha, who was staying still and making eye contact with him, tilted her head.

‘… What’s that?’

She pouted her lips wondering why he was glaring at her, but Kiern leisurely greeted him with his sword hanging to one side.

“Congratulations on your return, Belzeon.”

The boy was the eldest son of the count, Belzeon Basilion.

Instead of responding to his father’s greeting, Belzeon reported in a hard voice.

“You should go to the Dark Forest.”

It was a voice without any warmth.

Throwing only an emotionless report, Belzeon was about to leave the office right away.

If Kiern hadn’t opened his mouth, he would have left.

“Similar, is it?”

“….”

A short, meaningless question caught the boy like a hook.

Just as his back was turned, the boy’s body stiffened.

As if taking a deep breath, his shoulders shook slightly.

Belzeon, who slowly turned around, let out a short laugh.

The straight eyes rose ferociously.

A cold rage flashed in the boy’s eyes, which had been insensitive.

“If you are crazy, please go crazy alone.”

Words as cold as frost shot like daggers.

“Don’t drag in an innocent person.”

And Belzeon left the office.

***

“I wonder if Chesha was surprised that the older brother was a bit cold?”

He was not a bit cold, he was like an ice statue though.

If he gets any colder, the Snake Castle will turn into an ice castle.

However, Chesha answered like a grown-up baby.

“I am not zurprised.”

“Okay, my daughter. Is also brave.”

As he buttoned up his hunting clothes with a loose hand, Kierne spoke soothingly.

“Not to mention the oldest, the other older brothers are also all insane…. But they’re not bad kids though. Everyone will soon fall in love with Chesha.”

“….”

All insane, you say?

That was a comforting sound.

Chesha sat down on the sofa and looked at Kiern, who was wearing light armor, with round eyes.

Kiern, who looked in the mirror and adjusted his clothes, approached Chesha for the last time.

He kissed Chesha on the forehead.

“I’ll probably be back around tomorrow morning, so go to bed first.”

“Yesh, Dad. Butz.”

Chesha looked up at him and asked.

“Who do I look like?”

It was something she had already heard from Kiern twice.

Once at the orphanage, and once in front of Belzeon today.

She couldn’t help but ask what he was talking about.

Kierne’s smile deepened as he looked down at her large pink eyes.

“I’ll go first then tell you.”

A long finger pinched Chesha’s chubby cheek lightly before dropping.

“So, could you patiently wait for Dad?”

“Yees.”

Chesha stood by the window and watched Kiern leave.

At the place where the three brothers had been, Kierne stood side by side with the eldest, Belzeon, and had a conversation, leaving the Knights behind.

Belzeon was calm.

His expressionless face was like that of a subordinate reporting to his superior, rather than a son talking to his father.

The intense emotions that had been glimpsed in the office were nowhere to be found.

Chesha, who was observing them, clicked her tongue.

‘I’m not too sure about that, but certainly, this is a bean powder family*.’

*The state of a family where there is no order or bond among the family members

However….

If the dark mage and his sons living in such a dark castle were sane, it would be even more strange.

After talking for a while, Kiern jumped on the horse alone.

He raised his head and looked in the direction of Chesha.

Even though they were far apart, their eyes met exactly.

It seemed that he knew that Chesha was watching from the beginning.

Kiern smiled and pretended to send a kiss with his hand.

‘Huh, childish.’

While swearing inwardly, Chesha also pretended to blow a kiss with her small hands.

Kiern burst out laughing as if he was having fun, then drove off.

And he led the knights out of the castle.

Chesha watched the orderly procession to the end.

The knights completely disappeared, and the servants who were seeing them off also scattered.

After confirming that even Belzeon was gone.

Chesha moved quickly.

Waiting patiently my ass.

It was the moment when she was finally left alone.

She couldn’t miss this valuable opportunity.

‘Today is the day to rob the count’s house and investigate it!’

With a very strong mind, she stretched out her hand in the air.

When her hand, which was not even the size of a maple leaf, stretched out firmly, colorful flowers began to bloom on the ordinary carpeted floor.

A small butterfly flew up from a fresh blooming flower.

Her short hair fluttered in the wind from somewhere, and her clear pink eyes twinkled like stars.

The moment she tried to use her strength in earnest in a piece of fantasy.

“…!”

Chesha withdrew her power in an instant.

The flowers and butterflies that had been splendid until just now disappeared in an instant.

Only the faint scent of flowers lingered in the room.

Chesha pursed her lips.

There was an intruder.

An unfamiliar sense of someone with an evil mind was approaching Chesha.

The Snake Castle, located in the middle of the Dark Forest, was not an easy place to find.

It was probably an outsider who came in with the knights who returned today.

Chesha doesn’t know why they were aiming for her, but that was something to be angry about.

‘Why do they have to come now!’

The chance that she was barely got, about to blow

Chesha’s eyes flashed.

‘Should I just feed them to the man-eating flowers?’

Creak.

While contemplating the punishment, the door was carefully opened.

A wheezing sound came through the open crevice.

And the moment she confirmed the person who showed up.

“…Eh?”

Forgetting to kill or save, Chesha let out a genuinely startled sound.

The person who had been stealthily approaching came suddenly.

A big hand covered her mouth.

The young man shouted in a low voice.

“I will kill you if you make a sound!”

Chesha opened her eyes wide and looked at him.

Even so, it was a familiar face.

The man who shoved a wad of cloth into Chesha’s mouth with trembling hands and tied her up was….

It was a resident of the Backworld.

And the man who checked Chesha also widened his eyes.

“Ri, Richesia?”
