thud! Carter’s face landed on the floor of the lab.
“Why are you worrying? There’s only one thing you can do.”
Antonio was laughing heartily as he stepped on the back of Carter’s head. Carter felt a faint laughter coming from above his head.
‘What do we do?’
Negotiation is also possible with those who can communicate well. This is a person who cannot endure even a moment of worry. There was no way it was possible to negotiate with someone like that.
It was absolutely impossible to tell Arrieta everything about her plan like this. The fact that he wants to become the head of the family means that he will get rid of Antonio.
Because of Antonio’s strange personality, Arrieta may have to live a miserable life with a leash on her for the rest of her life. However, Revan will definitely die. There was no reason to keep him alive.
-Hey, Carter. How long has it been since you went to bed? The face is very nice to see.
-Hey, hey-
-Two days?
-migration···.
-Are you crazy? Go to sleep now! Then you really die!
Carter recalled what happened with Revan. A boy who, despite being an experimental subject, spoke in a friendly manner.
This is a boy I have seen for over two years. For a researcher, Carter had a lot of affection, so he hoped that Revan would not die.
“···Levan.”
“Hmm?”
“Our plan was to use a child named Revan to reclaim the land beyond the Wall.”
Cough! Carter somehow moved his mouth, spitting out sticky blood mixed with saliva. Broken teeth stabbed here and there in my mouth.
“Hmm. Is it possible to create a modified human that is that strong? Is the inspection department idle?”
“Well, that’s…cough!”
Carter barely raised his head and winked at the researcher next to him. Not long after, a researcher stumbled over, carrying Revan’s blueprints.
When designing “ in the first place, constraints were placed.”
“Um···.”
Palak. Antonio read the blueprints one by one. The speed was quite fast.
“As expected. You said I need to know one thing about my little brother’s cleverness?”
Eat. Antonio smiled and put down the overlapping blueprints on the desk.
Antonio has a dirty and eccentric personality and moves according to his mood, but he is not stupid. We quickly figured out what kind of structure Revan was made of.
“So what is the reason for restoring the land beyond the wall? I want you to tell me honestly.”
“Of course, isn’t it to elevate the name of the Wetzlar family?”
I had no choice but to lie about this part. Aiming for the position of head of the family. It was not something I could say out loud.
“My younger brother? Ahahaha-!”
After hearing the lie that made him tremble with fear, Antonio threw his head back and laughed out loud. Fuck. Carter cursed in his mind.
“Ah… Thank you. It’s been a while since I laughed out loud.”
“······”
“Hmm. It’s silence. I don’t think you’re good at lying. You think so too, right?”
Antonio winked at the middle-aged man holding Carter’s arm behind his back.
“······.”
“Chet. It’s not fun. Even if you show off like that, your father, who has passed away, will never come out. Yes?”
The name of the man holding down Carter is Abid. He was one of the Wetzlar family’s private soldiers. He didn’t respond to Antonio’s words and just kept his mouth shut.
Slowly, people within the Wetzlar family began to recognize Antonio’s twisted nature. If Arrieta had heard, she would have been furious and said, ‘Do you know that now, you idiot?’
If Arrieta had succeeded in making Revan a hero of the empire without being discovered, they were the ones who might have given him power. Although it has no longer had any meaning now.
“When I was young, I had a lot of fun playing with my younger brother. Those eyes were really interesting.”
Antonio began to unravel the family’s secrets without anyone asking him to.
Arrieta was an illegitimate child. The product of a brave prostitute who dared not take birth control pills while dealing with the head of the Wetzlar family.
Originally, Arrieta’s biological mother would have disappeared before she was even born, but Arrieta’s biological mother would have been a prostitute with outstanding skills. Because I succeeded in winning a little bit of the heart of the head of the Wetzlar family, one of the empire’s third nobles.
So it was possible to sit down at the negotiating table without having my head cut off right away. The brave prostitute asked not to kill the child in her womb but to join the Wetzlar family.
I don’t know why he made such a request since he could not belong to the Wetzlar family. However, it is also shameful for the rumor to spread that the head of the Wetzlar family had an illegitimate child by playing with her lower body. In the end, the head of the family accepted the request.
In this way, Arrieta belonged to the Wetzlar family. From that day on, Arrieta had to always dye her blue hair, which she inherited from her mother, green.
Of course, Arrieta’s life was not easy. No, it was closer to hell.
Immediately, the landlady of the family started to dislike Arrieta. No matter how calculated the relationship may be through an arranged marriage, there is no woman in the world who would love a child born from a love affair with another woman.
The first one would give Arrieta a look of disdain, as if disgusted, every time he encountered her, but he never did anything more than that. The problem was the second son, Antonio.
He has no control from his mother and is of humble origin. The employees were not courageous enough to stop him, and the head of the family treated Arrieta as a shameful by-product of not being able to resist the impulse of the moment, so there was no one to stop him.
“Is it because you don’t have your own side? I was always obsessed with ‘owning’ something. Those cheeky eyes were really worth watching.”
With his eyes immersed in memories, Antonio began to tell the story of the past.
“One day, one of the servants gave Arietta a doll as a gift.
The kid who usually walked around with an expressionless expression looked quite happy. I tried to hide it from myself, but I always carried that doll with me while eating or walking down the hallway.
This was a common reaction from a child who received an item he liked as a gift. But Antonio smiled bitterly.
“So I tried to steal the doll. I was curious about the reaction.”
A hostile feeling appeared in Carter’s eyes at the twisted, improbable words. Antonio, who saw those eyes, joked.
“Don’t look at me like that. Isn’t it always like this when you were young? From what I heard, blood relatives don’t get along well, so I guess that’s the case with us too.”
It’s an excuse… I didn’t feel guilty at all. Antonio, who had spouted disgusting sophistry, continued.
“But unlike usual, he was quite rebellious. Even though I knew I couldn’t do it by force, I tried to protect the doll by dragging my feet.
The reaction was really new and good. Even when I was bored and caught a spider and forced it into my mouth, I started gagging, but I didn’t show that much emotion.”
Soon, a feeling of contempt appeared in the eyes of every researcher in the lab. Even Abid holding down Carter.
“But even then, what could he have done? In the end, the doll ended up in my hands, and I tore it to shreds in front of my younger brother.
That was the first and last time I saw Arietta crying. I also collapsed on the floor and cried loudly. Well, there was still no one to help Arietta up.”
Tuk-tuk. Antonio, who was reminiscing about the past, tapped his temple with his finger.
“And I remember. Arrieta’s eyes looked at me with burning emotions that I would never forget.”
“······.”
“It was really fun to see the girl who couldn’t be the head of the family try desperately to be cute, saying, “I’ll just study at Rono.” How many times have you been grinding your teeth on the inside! Killing me is your number one goal in life. Does such a song enhance the glory of the family? under! That’s funny.”
Finally, Carter realized. It’s not that Antonio didn’t know that Arrieta was planning something. I just left it alone. Like a fisherman releasing fish into a fish farm.
“After that, no matter what happened, I never showed my emotions inside the family mansion. I tried beating it a bit, but it just waited.”
“···Kiss.”
“Huh? What?”
“Trash.”
Tsk. Carter spat out the spit that had accumulated in his mouth and spoke as if chewing it while glaring into Antonio’s eyes.
“I can’t believe someone like you will go. The Wetzlar family’s luck has run out.”
“Hmm. Are you not even thinking about living anymore?”
“Did you intend to save him in the first place?”
Sigh. Antonio, with a smile on his face, looked into Carter’s eyes.
“Of course, but there is none.”
“···H. You decided to kill Revan anyway, right?”
“Of course. This is a doll that my younger brother found after several years. I can’t help but wonder what face I’ll make this time.”
“Revan chuckled! Revan, if alive, has the ability to rebuild the Empire’s lost territories. Are you not thinking about that?”
Hmm. Antonio groaned, put his hand to his mouth, and opened his mouth.
“Well, it’s none of my business, right? There’s no harm to me if I can’t find that land.”
Antonio, with the back of his head, winked at Abid. Sreung- A razor-blue dagger was pulled out from Abid’s arms.
“Don’t worry. I have no intention of killing all the researchers. I will kill you as an example.”
“···Ha! Be merciful.”
“So, what is your will?”
testament. It’s a will. Carter shouted without hesitation.
“Don’t think that everything in the world goes your way, you damned brat!”
“Hmm. Thanks for the advice.”
Phew! Abid’s dagger cut Carter’s heart in half. Carter’s body tilted and fell to the floor.
“Avid?”
“···Yes. The head of the family.”
“Look for the airship heading to Xeorp. As soon as possible.”
chuck. Abid bowed his head. Voices filled with anticipation filled the blood-filled laboratory. Antonio smiled from the heart.
“It’s been a long time since we met again. It’ll be fun.”
