episode_0018

An evening in which the rust color has disappeared and even darkness has fallen.

Originally, I should have finished dinner by now and had some personal time.

They haven’t even brought Arantz, let alone dinner yet.

‘It was originally my brother’s job.’

It was due to my father’s high-handed words.

To tell the truth, I can’t say that my father’s personality is good.

My father did not have much interest in family and was only interested in hanging out with people outside of his home.

‘When I come home, I’m always frowning.’

Cassatt didn’t think he had ever seen that frown unfold before.

That’s how much my father was dissatisfied with his home and his family.

‘You took out all your complaints on your brother.’

Although they are all the same children, there seemed to be priorities in what they disliked.

‘My mother also said that my father wasn’t like that from the beginning… .’

I heard that after my brother’s death, both my father and mother suffered a lot… .

He said that’s why he became as eccentric as he is now.

‘Can we really call that a parent?’

Although Cassatt thinks he is inferior too.

I got the impression that the two of them were pretty decent.

‘At least they are parents. You don’t even have that disease yourself? ‘You can’t comfort me, but you treat me like this?’

Is there something different about adults’ thinking?

If that’s what an adult is like… Cassatt will choose to commit suicide before that happens.

Cassat, relying on a torch, penetrated the deep darkness and picked up Aranz.

It was always like this.

My father doesn’t even think about getting Arantz, and my mother says she will do it herself… .

‘You’ve become a lot weaker since the big fight that day.’

The only natural person to do the job was Cassatt.

When I arrived home with Aranz, Miris was waiting anxiously for her son.

When her son arrived, she welcomed him with a smile on her face.

“Wasn’t it too dark at night?”

“It’s always like that.”

Cassatt gave a short answer and carried the basket filled with Arantz to the table.

“You need to eat.”

“Okay. Let’s do it quickly.”

The two people sat down in their respective seats.

There were two empty seats next to me.

One of them belonged to Kamiel, whom I can never see again, and the other one… Now it was Catan, something I never wanted to see again.

Cassatt had no intention of calling his father unless he came out to eat on his own.

But his mother seemed to have other ideas.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally gets up and calls her husband.

Cassatt just watched quietly.

Katan, who came out of the room with a gloomy gait and a weak gait, looked very gaunt.

His lips were chapped and his uncut beard was standing on end.

Even though he was a ruined person, he looked unbelievable.

Cassatt only glances at his father for a moment. He quickly looked away and picked up Arantz.

Katan took one look at Cassat sitting in his seat and sat down in silence.

After a while, only the crunching sound of biting into the Arantz was heard softly.

“… Cassatt. The rumors are strange these days. I heard you go around picking fights with everyone… Is that right?”

Miris, who was next to me, trembled in response to a question that came out of nowhere while eating.

She knew what he meant because she had heard it before.

“… … .”

But Cassatt was unfazed, as if those words were someone else’s business.

“Why is there no answer? uh? I asked if that was really what you were doing… .”

“What if it’s true?”

“… What?”

“If it’s true… What changes?”

Cassat’s gaze was cold as he only slightly raised his eyes and looked at me.

“What is this guy talking about? What if you did it? What changes? That’s what I’m saying now… ”

“My father was already convinced that it was me. Why did you want to hear the answer from me?”

From the moment you speak. You did that, right? I felt like that.

‘Even though I’ve never done that in front of my father.’

How can you be so suspicious of your son based solely on rumors? .

‘I feel it again. ‘My father’s ears are very thin.’

It was quite funny to see how sensitive he was to the reputation of those around him.

Normally, people try to gain reputation by screaming that the village is going to leave.

There were people in this village who had seen my father like that for a long time.

My father’s personality has long been known.

Cassatt pretended to cover his ears and frowned.

“Father! Please turn down the sound. Do you need to wake up everyone in the village?”

“That’s right. Honey, just calm down… .”

“What kind of calm is calm!! Do I look calm now?”

Katan, who was even more excited as if it was a venomous animal that was trying to stop him, shouted in a louder voice.

“Is it something you would do to confront your father? Huh?”

“Then… The father sold his son, which is what a father would do… ”

match!

It happened in an instant.

After a moment of silence, Cassat felt his cheeks getting hot when he heard his mother’s scared voice.

” Now… You don’t even make a joke out of your hand?”

“This guy still hasn’t come to his senses?!”

“Honey! stop it!! What are you going to do if you hit the kid?”

“Whose side are you taking now? uh? I’m really going to destroy everything today! I! Should I start a fire? uh? Why don’t we all die together peacefully?”

The sight of my father being extremely emotional and threatening with a devil-like face is truly… .

It left me speechless.

bang!

“Hey! What’s going on?”

“Hey, hey. That rolled my eyes. Quickly go and catch it!”

The villagers came rushing in, as if the sound of fighting had reached the outside of the house.

“No matter how many times I knocked on the door, there was no response, so I tried to do something, but I almost got into big trouble… . Is everyone injured?”

“Hey, Cassat. Did you get hit? Why are your cheeks so red?”

“That guy has gone as far as he can go… . Sell that guy too… ”

“Hey, hey! Be careful what you say!”

“Huh? Uh oh. Wow.”

A father going on a rampage, a mother crying next to him, and the villagers trying to stop him.

Cassatt was able to realize something again.

‘There is no one on my side here.’

I was completely alone.

“Who is it?”

A low-pitched voice loudly knocked on Kamiel’s alarm bell.

Kamiel rolled his head, his eyes shaking.

When I woke up, the woman I saw in the morning was lying next to me.

But, as if by an incredible coincidence, a young lady is standing in front of me with a cold expression.

‘What should I do… .’

No matter how logical I tried to explain it, the situation was too complicated.

‘cold… .’

Before I knew it, Kamiel was trembling while holding his body.

The cold that invaded the room would be no different from how the young lady was feeling right now.

“Lady… Do you believe me?”

“You believe.”

“Then… ”

“But you don’t believe the situation?”

ah… Kamiel was speechless again.

I think I heard about this situation from one of the villagers once… .

Maybe it was because it was an insult, but I didn’t remember it.

‘What should I do with this anyway?’

This wasn’t something that would just end with a tantrum.

Now, as I glanced at the young lady’s eyes, I could see that she was about to cause an incident.

‘I feel unfair… .’

“Lady, I feel really unfair… ”

“Umm… .”

Kamiel was so shocked that he had to deal with Ruanel, who kept clinging to him while screaming silently.

The stinging gaze I felt during that time was an added bonus.

“Hey, can you please stand up? Yes?”

Kamiel decided that the only person who could save him in this situation was this woman who did not know why she was lying here.

So I shook her awake, half crying, and she woke up yawning.

“Hmm? Why are you doing that?”

The coquettish voice led the situation to a catastrophe.

“Mr. … .”

Leasian muttered softly, and his voice was so angry that it was hard to hear.

But it was clearly conveyed how she felt.

Damn it-

Extreme cold is coming.

The cold was no longer bearable by humans.

Kamiel, who was already weak, felt like he was going to lose his mind at any moment.

The touch that touches his body.

“Hey. Don’t take your hands off?”

Despite the sharp voice, Ruanel always responded with a relaxed expression.

“What are you going to do if he dies like this?”

Before the soft voice reached his ears, the warmth from her fingertips flowed into Camiel’s whole body.

Little by little, life appeared in the icy face.

Rheasian didn’t even care about the coldness he was emitting.

Just, the fear of having what was yours taken away dominated my mind.

So so so so so-

The energy gathered in the hand created an ice spear.

Camiel, who managed to come to his senses thanks to Ruanel, opened his eyes wide when he saw the sharp spear hanging in front of him.

I turned my gaze and looked at the young lady’s face.

‘I think you’re properly excited… … .’

Just looking at the situation, it was not unusual.

What if the young lady threatens a person named Ruanel with that spear?

What if I get hurt?

‘Ruanel is the young lady’s relative… .’

You may not know if you do something right away, but you may face a difficult situation later.

“Lady! I will ask you a favor. Can’t we just talk about it? Yes?”

“Get out of the way.”

“I can’t get out of the way until you put down that window.”

Kamiel, who was blocking her,’s eyes wavered pitifully.

“Lady… Nothing really happened. I swear on my name. yes? please… .”

“… … .”

Rheasian stared at Kamiel for a long time with deep sunken eyes.

“… Tsk.”

Camiel sighed in relief as the coldness surrounding the room slowly subsided with the sound of clicking one’s tongue.

Leasian strode over to the bed, grabbed Kamiel’s hand and pulled him towards him.

So Kamiel stood up and looked at his hands.

‘shell… .’

The young lady’s small, long hand was clasped with his own.

As expected, the space between my hands hurt a little, probably because I wasn’t conscious of controlling my strength.

‘But it’s not a good mood to say anything right now.’

He knew it well because he had lived almost his entire life paying attention to what was happening.

‘I’m still anxious… .’

He glanced at Leasian’s expression.

He still looked anxious and anxious.

Fortunately, she moved her feet as if she was leaving the room.

Camiel was relieved again and followed the lead.

“Huh? Lady?”

Kamiel’s voice trembled.

I was just about to stand in front of the door to leave the room.

But why does the young lady suddenly turn her head and look behind her?

What happened after that… It happened so quickly that it was hard to even say it was an instant.

bang-!

An ice spear stuck in the wall next to the bed.

It passed right next to Ruanel’s ear.

Kamiel looked at her ears in surprise, but they were fine, as if they hadn’t really touched them.

Leasian looked at her on the bed and opened his mouth.

It was a tone that made one feel alive.

“You… Try to catch my eye one more time. I’ll really rip your ears off and hang them up.”

Kamiel, overwhelmed by the force, was unable to scold even though harsh words were spoken.

It wasn’t the atmosphere for that.

With those words, Leasian led Kamiel out of the room.

The moonlight that had been shining in the room also hid behind the clouds again.

As if I had seen all the shopping.

“… … .”

Ruanel, left alone, burst into laughter in the darkness.

“When I hear things like that, it makes me want to do it more… .”
