Chapter 10: CH 10

‘Troublesome’

I didn’t like being bothered or how she constantly appeared in front of me.

She told me to live without paying attention to each other, so I did it, and what kind of whim did she have?

“Sneak information in the place where you were dealing. See how it turns out.”

“……What?”

“Didn’t you hear that? I’m telling you to report.”

I thought she was a useless child, but she seems to have a good hunch in a place like this.

“But how does she know everything about our business?”

“That’s what I….”

It was a strange thing.

It’s something I’ve been doing without telling anyone, but how does she see through it?

Leon Davis.

Maybe he’s a spy from the royal family or somewhere else.

“The two got close these days?”

“Not only they are close, but he is with her almost every day”

“Keep an eye on them.”

I don’t know when he’s seven. He was already ten years old.

Isn’t the growth period coming soon?

Even now, Leon was bigger than Elle. After that, we didn’t know how much more difference it would make.

“Did you say that he could only recognize Elle?”

“Yes, I think he remembers her with a characteristic.”

“What a funny guy. There’s nothing special about him.”

“Well, what’s the big deal? He’s a kid who’s about to leave when he’s an adult. You can think of it as a sponsorship.”

Sponsorship was not difficult.

However, I was worried that he might have other thoughts.

They are both young now, so they don’t know each other, but when patterns begin to appear, they become distant from each other even if they don’t want to.

Even if she had a crush on him, it was of no use in front of the pattern. So it was better not to know such feelings.

“You can kill him if you smell something strange.”

“Huh? But.”

“You can remove anything that poses a threat to our family.”

“Even so, if the Young Lady finds out the truth, she will be sad.”

Edgar laughed at his aide’s words.

She already thinks I’m a bad guy anyway.

There was no difference in being a little worse person.

“I don’t care. Kill him.”

“…….”

“What are you hesitating about? It’s not much different from what we’ve been doing. Now, suddenly you have a conscience?”

Edgar’s sharp voice made him quickly nod his head.

“Alright, sir.”

There were some well-trained children, too, so that was a reasonable suspicion.

Maybe a wind of blood blows over the house again.

* * *

“I’m sure this is how you said it would work.”

Leon narrowed his brows as he looked at the open book.

I moaned while covering a book that read “10 Ways to Steal Lady’s Heart”.

“It’s a pure lie.”

He came across a book in the count’s library and secretly brought it to his room.

He didn’t believe it, but he tried it because he thought it wouldn’t be so bad to try it.

“Then I got hit on the back of my hand.”

Leon lay down on the bed, recalling the back of his hand that was tingling.

Far from looking sexy, Elle acted as if she was trying to stop her little brother from being cheeky.

He jumped up from his seat and looked in the mirror.

Black hair mixed with nothing, big, red eyes that are only known by her. A white face and thick lips

I don’t know, but didn’t Elle always say I’m beautiful?

But every time he saw his face, he sometimes felt strange.

To remember people, he memorized habits and distinguished them using different information.

“Is this me? But I don’t think it’s me.”

Leon covered his face and struggled in pain.

This situation, where he could not even recognize his face, was like hell.

“I’m tired.”

It took a long time to memorize the count’s few servants.

Even that was possible because there were not many people attached to Elle.

It was over at the point of roughly recognizing it, but I couldn’t recognize who it was if I thought the appearance had changed even a little.

Leon looked in the mirror and sank on the bed.

“It’s strange, I heard that a beautiful man would do all right.”

I didn’t believe Elle’s words and affirmed that I looked beautiful.

Maybe she was just saying nice things for my mood.

I didn’t believe in books either.

Leon bowed his head and reflected on Elle’s words.

“When I become an adult…….”

I will be separated from her.

He didn’t want to leave her.

I wanted to be with her all my life.

I wondered how she would grow, what kind of expression she would make in front of the person she loved, and what Elle would look like as she grew older.

The unfulfilled thirst kept pushing me.

“If I don’t become an adult, do I have to leave?”

No, then the count might send me to be adopted somewhere else.

If a grown-up child becomes a baby again, everyone will be surprised and know he is a cursed child.

“Then what should I do…”

Leon remembered one thing from Elle’s words that she had forgotten.

Marriage, didn’t she say that marriage is the only way to be together?

“When you become an adult, patterns will appear.”

Elle was one of the people who didn’t have a pattern. So when I see a pattern, I’m going to fall in love with someone else.

Can I find out who it is?

No, I wouldn’t even know the face of the person he loved .

Leon recognized Elle, but he was acting. Elle might kick him out if his fatal shortcomings go away.

“I can’t do that.”

Leon was not confident in loving anyone else.

It wasn’t his will, it wasn’t his heart.

So he makes a decision.

If anyone shows up with a pattern like his, he will kill her before she appears.

* * *

After training, Leon was seen resting in the garden.

‘He must have been tired.’

I leaned against the tree and carefully approached Leon, whose eyes were closed.

“Pretty.”

A perfect appearance even with closed eyes.

If you just look at him all day, the time will surely pass.

“Elle?”

“Did I wake you up?”

Maybe because I stared too hard, Leon called my name.

“How did you know?”

“Because you’re the only one who looks at me like this.”

Leon’s words made me laugh without realizing it.

“Yes, that’s true.”

The long eyelashes were shaded. Eyes were entangled in the wide-open eyes.

It’s been a while since I saw his red eyes.

Without realizing it, I looked at Leon’s face with an exclamation.

“Lion, your eyes are so pretty.”

“…… Elle is the only one who says that.”

People said. He can’t even recognize his family because of his red eyes.

Actually, he didn’t remember anyone’s face.

It was me who had picked him up comfortably because of that.

I’ll be in trouble if he remembers me.

“That’s why I told you how. Remember the characteristics and memorize them.”

I swept Leon’s white cheeks.

He had fine skin without any blemishes, but the wounds were seen here and there, causing regret.

“However, it’s hard to remember people who didn’t have characteristics. Besides, I can’t hide my black hair.”

“The kids who make fun of your hair that is more beautiful than darkness are fools. That’s why I’m jealous of you, so beautiful.”

The light shining through the trees looked just like stars on Leon’s black hair that hit the night sky.

“Jealousy…… Elle, you always tell me things I can’t think of.”

Leon’s eyes grew distant.

“…… Elle, I’m a monster.”

I closed my lips tightly at Leon’s words. He may say that because of the memories of the past that often haunt him.

A family driven to death by his own hands.

Of course, Leon was not part of the family for them. A child who has been cursed, a nuisance that simply cannot be eliminated. A disgrace to the family.

A terrifying creature that can’t be killed.

I imagined what their gaze would have looked like at Leon.

“Lion, you are just a precious family to me.”

Others don’t know, but I know. That he was just a child who missed his family’s arms.

“You don’t know… …what I’ve done.”

Leon wrapped his hand around his face in his hand. He won’t know either.

The fact that I know everything. But it didn’t matter.

It was not Leon’s will. Above all, who can kill their family by themselves?

Leon even found out later. It may be a piece of memory that he wants to erase.

Because he couldn’t tell people apart.

He couldn’t even know who the dying family was.

How did he feel then?

Maybe I can’t even imagine.

It was from that day that the cursed power came to Leon.

It was a prelude to misfortune. However, after becoming an adult, he falls in love with a set pattern on his body.

The curse is released the moment he falls in love with the female lead.

Like magic in a fairy tale.

“Am I really beautiful?”

Leon asked me, putting his face close to me.
