Chapter 25.1

Harris quickly tried to stop me by standing in front of me due to my response, but I couldn’t see her.

Mom. Mom. The thought of her alone in the room filled my head.

I don’t remember how I acted after that.

“M-My Lady?”

I remember Harris saying something to me, and Cecilia called out to me in shock.

I even tried to get out of here by grabbing the hem of my skirt. But when I woke up, I couldn’t even get out of the door. I was stuck in trance.

Even her staff were blocking me, knowing that they wouldn’t let me out.

“What are you doing?”

“It’s not over yet.”

Harris, who was right in front of me, moved in the same direction as me whenever I tried to move.

“Get out of the way.”

“Why? Are you trying to run away? You don’t think you can talk to me, do you?”

“What the hell are you doing? I said I need to go.”

“What are you doing? Why are you acting so rudely? You haven’t even finished your sizing yet, have you?”

Anger rose. I had to run right away, but I kept thinking, “Should I use my powers right now?” in a situation where someone is blocking me.

It was then…

Someone grabbed my trembling hand. It was Allen. Even Allen stuck close to her as if he were going to hit her right away.

“Get out of the way, Harris.”

“No, I don’t want to. Who do you think you are?”

“What do you mean? I’m your brother.”

“You’re not. You’re a disgrace to the family.”

“Why am I a disgrace?”

“You have the power of the Grand Duke, and you don’t even think about using it. You’re just going to do something else to meet with someone, is that all you’re going to do? Isn’t it a shame that you’re playing with a fake like that, throwing me away, your real sister?”

Allen’s face, which didn’t react much at first, became more and more stiff.

“I don’t care if you swear at me, but I can’t stand the’ fake this’, ‘fake that’ and bad-mouthing Bebe.”

At the moment, Allen’s body exuded a great amount of cold air. Allen’s power, like last time, was close to intense. It was a more frightening force that he did so. It became natural for those around to bow down in a hurry.

It was so powerful that it was hard to stand still.

The first person to sit down was Harris.

“What are you doing?”

One after another her maids and knights sank to the ground.

“Let’s go, Bebe.”

“Okay.”

Thanks to him, the path that I thought I could never pass opened.

But Harris crawled on the floor and grabbed Allen’s leg.

“She’s the one who tried to go without following the rules!”

“Behave, Harris, or I’ll kill you if you bully my sister again.”

“I’m your sibling!”

“I know, but it’s weird. I’m sure everyone says you’re my sister… but I don’t understand why.”

Harris, who sat on the floor, looked up angrily and stared at Allen, but Allen only passed Harris.

I quickly got out of there with Allen like that.

It wasn’t hard to come out because there was no one to stop us.

But Allen grabbed my hand out of uneasiness.

Then he started running. His hands were so warm and big that I teared up at the thought of him really being on my side.

It’s all because my mother’s mana shroud broke.

With that in mind, I ran faster and faster right after Allen.

Allen was much faster than I expected.

I thought he was just a boy who was taller than me, but he’s so fast.

I couldn’t breathe thanks to him.

“Pant, pant.”

“Are you all right?”

“Uh, yeah.”

“We’re almost there, so hang in there. Do you want me to carry you on my back if you’re tired?”

“No, it’s okay.”

Rather, Allen looked at me quietly and nodded as if he was more anxious than me.

Not long after, we arrived in front of my room. It wasn’t originally a crowded hallway. No wonder I came out of my room and walked for a long time to see the staff.

But it’s very strange that it’s so quiet.

Even beyond the closed door, an unknown energy spread. It gave off a sense of danger.

My hands trembled, and I had to open the door, but my feet gave away easily.

On behalf of me, Allen suddenly opened the door.

“Gasp.”

As I hurried inside, I saw three people wearing black masks. My room was a simple structure consisting of a large living room, a dressing room, and a bathroom. The bed was in the corner of the living room.

Therefore, it was immediately visible to whom the assassins were targeting and what they were doing.

“M-Mom…”
