It was better when heâs obedient. Although this didnât last longâ¦
I enjoyed him being obedient when suddenly, the door opened, and a ten-year-old boy entered. It was Odeure, the third son of Silvia and Ferdel.
âRia!â
Odeure, who ran to find me, was cute, but I couldnât help but wonder why he was here.
He shouldnât be walking around alone like this.
âOdeure, whereâs Haka? How come youâre alone?â
âI donât know. He can take care of himself.â
In an indifferent answer, I looked back unknowingly at Valer.
ââ¦you sure are related, arenât you? Thatâs not what you should say after leaving your little brother.â
Valtorta couldnât make eye contact and turned his head.
I was sure he wouldnât get lost in this palace, butâ¦I was a bit worried. Fortunately, soon a maid came into the room, holding Hakaâs hand.
âRia!â
âHaka!â
Haka, who ran as soon as he saw me, was somehow dressed in a ladyâs dress.
Well, the reason was obvious. I was sure Ferdel put it on him. Whenever I saw something like this⦠I could feel how much that couple wanted a daughter. Itâs a bit patheticâfor both them and their sons.
Perhaps Valer thought the same as me, but he put his chin on his hand and complained.
âHow unfortunate for my dad. I mean, how many sons did he get when all he wanted was a daughter?â
âSilvia is the unfortunate one. Donât you feel bad for your mother, whoâs stressed from raising all of you?â
âWhat did I do?!â
Valer was yelling at me, but Odeure, who stood next to me, shouted on my behalf.
âValer, youâre mean.â
âThatâs right. Youâre mean.â
As Haka nodded, Valer opened his eyes wide as if he felt wronged.
âWow, really? Youâre taking her side? Arenât you two my siblings?!â
Either way, I sat down and stroked the heads of the cute little boys.
Thatâs right. You listen to me.
âNow, now, my darlings. Isnât Valer an evil brother?â
âYes, heâs evil!â
âThatâs right. Heâs evil!â
Oreu and Haka nodded at my word. Valer opened his lips wide as if heâs feeling oppressed.
â⦠really, thereâs nobody you can trust in this world.â
âSo youâve learned the great lesson of life.â
âItâs from all the bad karma youâve built, you bastard.â
I kindly advised my younger brother, who learned a life lesson.
âBe stronger and come back.â
