I really hate it! (1)
Antonio told the story from the moment he left the mansion. While listening to her story, there was clear anger in Lily’s eyes.
The knights in the nearest district by distance had come to the Isles mansion. The smooth journey came to an end when the Imperial Knights appeared and stopped them on the plains of Arcadia.
There was no armed conflict, but in the end, Antonio did not know why, and the prince who summoned him locked him up in a carriage and dragged him to Cadis.
“And in the lunchroom…”
As soon as a familiar story came out, Dandelion kept intervening. When she heard of how sarcastic Vlad had been to the princess, starting with Lily’s health, she felt dizzy as if she was there. And she wrinkled her beautiful brow in the following content.
“…Vlad who extorted our father’s property.”
“It is a crisis at the Isles, but the wealth you received is still huge. The princess said it deserved attention, of course.”
Did the prince have any idea how twisted the relationship between her father and her was? To treat Vlad as a villain solely because of his wealth and reputation, without the will or interest to take a closer look…
People judging by rumors once again. The prince was said to be an antagonist of Vlad in the first place. What did he even know when he accused Vlad?
When she remembered the white and prosperous face of the prince, she was very angry. For some reason, he hated her poor husband so much that he stabbed him… Did he push it all the way in?
Lily’s clenched fists trembled. While Antonio kept his mouth shut, Dandelion came out with another exciting blow.
“So I told the princess that it was all because the lord liked her older sister! So, she trusted it.”
“…Yes?”
While Lily couldn’t follow the story due to a sudden change of topic, Dandelion poured his own achievements like a waterfall.
She had been stiff from the moment her past with the baron came out, and soon her face gradually turned pink. As his story got longer, Lily gave off a strange expression and lowered her head. She asked, licking her lips and lowering her voice, “So what did he say? Vlad….”
“How would it be shameful if I yearn so earnestly for my wife?”
It was quite funny to see him mimicking Vlad, narrowing his eyes and lowering his voice. It was enough to make her laugh, but Lily just lowered her head.
“Wow, that was really cool! I saw that too!”
Hearing these stories from the mouths of her siblings, not anyone else, it was evident that steam was coming from the crown of her head. She felt that the sound of her heart would leak through her burning cheeks, so she cooled it with the back of her hand. Her toes wiggled in her shoes.
Lily glared at Antonio, tightening her eyes, as if she was trying to teach him a lesson. “Anton. And you lied to the prince. What would you do if you were caught on the spot? What a dangerous thing you did…”
Having said that, it was a really big deal. What if it was later revealed that Antonio deceived the prince? Although he is a duke’s guest, he was still a commoner, so how much would he suffer?
Antonio simply smiled shyly and scratched the back of his head. “I’m sorry, Sister. Still, the lord took care of everything. Seeing you talk, um… Actually, I don’t think the prince can do anything to the lord.”
“He’s still…”
“That’s right, the prince just didn’t seem to like the lord in every way! Just by looking at it, the lord was much cooler!” Dandelion raised his voice once more, as if trying to help his brother. His big green eyes gleamed like the Milky Way. “I guess the prince didn’t like it even when the lord said that he loved Sister passionately. He told him not to try to win the favor of the princess. And the prince said that your multiple marriages were debauched, so the lord fought it out with him through a duel… Ouch!”
The shoe that Antonio threw hit Dandelion’s nose. Dandelion grabbed his face and knelt in front of him. Antonio ignored his wailing brother and hurriedly looked at his sister’s complexion. Lily, in a frenzy, covered her mouth with both her hands.
Vlad challenged the prince to a duel. She only heard of that fact, but she didn’t know the whole story at all. In the first place, she was the root of all the events. It would have been better if she didn’t ask.
“Me… I have become his weakness.”
It wasn’t just that she broke her promise and showed up in Cadis to distract him.
The reason why the prince was able to cross the walls of Cadis using Antonio as an excuse. After all, maybe it was because he was her brother. He was also misunderstood that he stole the Isles management. It was her fault that he punished her father for her.
