“You are weaker than me.”

“… … What?”

At first, I thought I had heard wrong.

That bastard. What did you just say?

At Lucia’s unexpected strike, a thunderbolt struck Siron’s head.

I’m out of breath. My heart is pounding.

dizzy. I feel dizzy. How long has it been since I felt emotionally shaken by such a trivial provocation?

I guess it’s because it’s been quite a while since we’ve been in this situation. Siron mocked himself, saying that his threshold for getting angry had lowered.

‘Maybe it’s because I’m young. Why are you acting so childish?’

It is a personal attack because it cannot be put into words. I shuddered at that childishness.

Still, it wasn’t that I couldn’t understand her feelings. I also wondered if it would have been so frustrating.

but.

Even though he understood Lucia’s feelings, it was not a reason for Siron to keep his mouth shut like a mute.

‘Doesn’t he know his past life? ‘Why do people criticize me for being knocked down by the reincarnated swordsman’s blow?’

It’s funny. really.

Siron had anger on his face. I thought it was fortunate that the corners of my eyes naturally widened thanks to the emotional agitation without any effort.

“… … Ah.”

Is that why? Lucia’s eyes opened wide. Currently, it is a form that confronts poetry. It seems he understood what he had just said. But Siron did not miss the opportunity.

“Hey, say it again.”

“… … I am stronger than you… and.”

“Yes, you are stronger than me. No matter how much it was a surprise attack, I was taken out without a chance to do anything.”

“… … .”

Lucia’s face hardened. I realized what on earth I was doing to a child.

But Siron didn’t care whether her face was stiff or not.

Siron’s past life, the wound of inferiority complex was very bitter.

“But. What on earth does being strong have to do with me having to follow your training methods?”

“… … .”

“Furthermore, when people talk to me, they keep acting like I’m crazy.”

Just like that, he spat out the theory like he was chewing on it.

Lucia looked at Siron with blank eyes. And lowered his eyes. I opened my mouth to say something, but…

“You just. I was just lucky.”

“That… … .”

I can’t bear to open my mouth. It was so hot. Lucia herself has now noticed.

Come to think of it, it was already the second time. He slapped a child with a fist and criticized him for being weak. When I looked back at what I had done, my face heated up and I felt embarrassed.

‘I guess I was just lucky.’

Lucia pondered the meaning.

There was nothing to think deeply about.

She was lucky.

I’m luckier than others and I’m born with talent. Even after death, he was reborn with full memories.

From the moment you are born, your life has a different starting line. To top it off, unlike ordinary orphans, he was immediately taken in as a child of a noble family.

If conscience exists, it should not be denied.

It was a clean arrangement for which there was no excuse.

I felt embarrassed and ashamed and felt like I wanted to get away from here right away. What on earth are you doing with a child?

‘I don’t know who the brat is.’

Lucia mocked herself and smiled bitterly.

Now that I think about it, even in my past life, there were many times when I missed things because of my impulsive nature. Lucia suddenly remembered her colleagues from her past life.

‘Even if it’s Seyra. Even Yura. You always told me how long you were going to act like a child.’

From the day she was chosen by the Holy Sword on the sandy island in the lake, Kylie has taken on the fate of a warrior.

However, Kylie’s roots were as a country girl. To make matters worse, she is not a citizen of the empire, but an alien girl.

A barbaric and undeserving bitch.

Do you think that just holding a sword means anything?

I feel so disgusted.

Insulting rhetoric always followed me. Every time, I got so angry that my fist came out.

Every time, I would get so hot that I would almost miss work. My body often gave out before I thought.

If there had been no help from someone else, would you have been able to get through the situation smoothly? Maybe it was because he was lucky to be in an environment where someone could help him.

An old thought I always had. But eventually, that too is a thing of the past.

500 years have passed.

My colleagues were nowhere to be seen and no news was heard. For some reason, Siron seemed to overlap with his friends who were not sure if they were dead or alive.

Suddenly, Lucia felt sorry for Siron.

‘okay. Let’s apologize again. What are you hesitating about? Even though I get along well with the family I barely got, it’s not enough, so I’m pushing myself with pride that I can’t get enough of. ‘I feel so pathetic too.’

The moment I made that promise.

Patter-

“Hee profit!”

“Are you dumb? Why are you keeping your mouth shut?”

Lucia let out a terrifying scream.

I was startled when something cold got inside my clothes.

Siron had thrown a snowball into Lucia’s back.

“You should try it too. Do you think your thoughts will change after you try it once? How will this help later…”

Siron could not finish his sentence.

Lucia threw a punch with a scary face.

Bah!

A fist landed in Siron’s face.

“Ugh!”

“You crazy bastard!”

It was Siron’s second fainting.

*

Slurp-

Siron, who was hit in the face, fell helplessly in the snow.

“Ah… Ah!”

‘I did it again!’

Again. The fist went out sooner than expected.

‘Such a stupid, ignorant bitch…!! Oh, this is not the time!’

Lucia came to her senses. I quickly approach Siron. First, let’s check if they are alive.

Lucia put her ear close to Siron’s face and looked around to see if there was anything wrong.

Fortunately, Siron was breathing fine. Except for the fact that his lip was burst and bleeding in a trickle, he appeared to be sleeping peacefully.

“Phew… … .”

Lucia sighed in relief and stroked her heart. A line of cold sweat ran down my back.

“Ugh… I’m going to spin.”

Lucia held her head, groaned, and then cursed. I rub my bangs, which are wet with cold sweat. After confirming that the little boy was safe, Lucia relaxed.

dump-

My butt was quite sore because I was sitting on the snow without hesitation, but it didn’t matter. Thanks to the snow acting as a buffer, the back of Siron’s head did not break. Lucia was relieved by that.

“C. Thank goodness.”

after…

I tried to calm my shocked heart. Lucia raised her head and sighed.

It was absurd that he was so surprised after hitting himself,

This time, the punch was not in the chest, but in the face, and my heart sank as Siron fell helplessly.

Did that calm my heart for a while?

“Ah.”

Snowflakes landed on the bridge of my nose.

It’s been a while since I saw the sun set overhead, but before I knew it, dark clouds were forming in the sky.

“… … Is it snow?”

Lucia stood up and shook her butt.

zero difference-

The girl carries the unconscious boy on her shoulders and walks a little quickly towards the castle.

*

Lucia laid Shiron down neatly on the bed and covered him with a blanket.

Rumbling—

Sure enough, when I looked out the window, there was thunder and a blizzard outside. It was a good thing I rushed.

Lucia looked away from the window and stretched out her arms to Siron.

I wiped the blood that flowed from my mouth with my sleeve so it didn’t get on the bedding, and on the outside it looked fine.

“… … .”

To what extent has it been resolved? Lucia pulled a chair and flopped down.

“What? Really.”

Lucia felt tired.

She felt something deeper sinking into her heart than when she had been swinging the sword all day.

Have you ever felt this much emotional turmoil recently? Lucia looked back on the past eight years.

“… … .”

however.

In the village where I lived before, when my mother passed away, and when a man I met for the first time told me that he was my father. It seemed like my body never gave up because I couldn’t control my emotions.

Lucia stared at Siron’s face.

“… … As long as you don’t open your mouth, I’ll be cute to you.”

It was then.

-smart.

-I brought the items you asked for.

“Okay, just a moment!”

Lucia came to her senses and hurriedly opened the door.

“Thank you. Miss.”

Beyond the door was the maid, Yuma, who brought bedding and clothes.

“Thank you. Chief maid.”

“No. Miss.”

Yuma entered the room with restrained movements and began to change Siron’s clothes.

Lucia watched the process in silence.

There was no interruption in the flow of removing top clothes, wiping off sweat with a wet towel, and then changing into new clothes.

That’s all. Before he knew it, Yuma had even applied ointment to Shiron’s lips.

After confirming that she had completed her mission, Lucia put her hands together neatly, saying that the coming was coming. Yuma stroked the head of Shiron, who was sleeping peacefully, and opened his mouth.

“You quarreled less than a day later. Miss.”

“… … Yes.”

“Also, you moved the master by yourself without using anyone. As I said last time, you can use as many employees as you like.”

“Yes… .”

Yuma spoke while making eye contact with Lucia, but Lucia avoided her eyes.

Lucia felt uncomfortable with Yuma.

Her feelings were complicated by Yuma’s mechanical attitude, the horns on one side of her head, the vertically slit pupils, and the unnaturalness of why she was acting like a child.

“… … Why didn’t you stop me? You were always watching.”

Lucia wondered why no one stopped her even though this was her second time.

In response to the girl’s question, Yuma slowly closed his eyes and opened them.

“No. It doesn’t really matter. The master and the young lady were fighting. The young lady left you alone in the snow. Even if you die from the cold like that, no one will blame you.”

“… … .”

Lucia lowered her head.

It’s a bloody story. Does this mean that the servants of the mansion will not stop the children even if they fight to kill each other?

The girl wiggled her wet hands.

“I saw it. This morning… the scene where the maid hugged Siron tightly. That is an action that cannot occur without affection. But is it still okay?”

“Yes. It’s okay.”

Yuma got up from his seat and walked towards the door. He didn’t hesitate in his steps as if there was nothing more to see.

“In the end, the young lady did not leave you alone. You said it last time and this time too. And.”

“… … .”

“The young lady and the master are both Priens. You must take responsibility for your actions.”

Yuma said those words and closed the door.

“… … .”

In the room, which was too large for a single person, the only sound was Siron’s breathing. Lucia stared at Siron Prien’s face.

“What on earth is Prien?”

Prien, Dawn Castle, a one-horned demon, a boy with a gap of two years… Is it because he is relaxed? Without realizing it, a helpless laugh came out.

“I didn’t even have a single disciple, let alone a child.”
