Chapter 4

The noble decorations were placed on the wall despite that they were not extremely impressive. There were famous paintings hung on the wall and a golden candlestick. There was also the bookshelf with many books as nobody thought that this was a child’s room.

I tilted my head.

“Mirthy…… above all……”

I just said anything that came to mind because I wanted to make some time to find out where I was .

‘Um, where am I? To where Valk took me?’

Then, I was reminded of what he said. He said that he took me who was sleeping like an insect. He took me? He took me away who live in the princess palace? That means, he entered the princess palace? It’s scary. I slowly turned my head and looked at the boy.

He had blonde hair like honey and deep red eyes. His face was sharp, but there was also some baby fat.

What?

“Mirthy…… than you…… cuter than you.”

“Ha, I see. I see.”

Maybe my guess was wrong. Please, it has to be wrong!

How can I seduce him if this is his first impression of me? I was trying to make the most adorable voice as I spoke to him.

It failed.

At the moment, I was just guessing about him. But immediately, I got the right answer from the maid who knocked on the door.

“Prince Euphil, Here is the towel and refreshments as you had asked.”

Euphil? The tyrant Euhpil who killed his father and brothers? The cruel man? The man who killed Mirthy without any hesitation, even though she begged for her life? I felt dizzy.

“Come in.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

The maid entered the room. She put the towel and refreshments and exited shortly afterwards. It seemed the maid was not permitted to stay long in the room.

I looked on the tray with my mouth watering.

‘Cookie, cookie, cookie! Cookie!’

All human beings are crazy about sweet things. In the past life, I really liked sweet things even when I was 22.

“You…. Euvil…….”

“It seems you already knew my name. I am your half-brother Euphil Raize.”

“Euvil…… Half……”

“How could a child know the meaning of half-brother. We are the same, both abandoned.”

He’s only a 10 year-old kid but spoke like an adult.

“Aban……..doned? Why?”

There was no need for me to ask. I already knew the reason. The queen died as soon as she gave birth to me. However, I’m a five-year-old Mirthy. It’s required that nobody noticed that I knew something. Above all, this was for the purpose to seduce Euphil. I had to be recognized as his younger sister.

I tilted my head and looked at him as if I couldn’t understand anything.

“How can you know it, stupid? Can you guess the reason why your garden in your palace is so messy?”

“Why?”

“That is, the King ……”

I walked to him.

The moment when he was about to say that I was abandoned, I held his hand tightly.

Euphil was embarrassed.

I opened my purple eyes wide and looked at him with a smile.

“Euvil, are you my older brother?”

“No.”

He replied clearly.

“You cannot be my sister. Your mother and my mother are different.”

“Mom?”

Oh, this was a sensitive issue.

But during the time, Euphil still had not shaken off my hand.

‘Oh-oh. He is not shaking off my hands.’

I guess he was just like me. He was the one abandoned by the king. Then, who would be good and kind to him?

I smiled at him again and continued to hold onto his hand tightly.

“Mirthy has never seen my brother before.”

“I am not your brother.”

“Brother and sister…… I learned I need to call older brother as ‘oppa’”

“What? Who told you that?”

Who? It’s certainly from Korean culture. But, this is not Korea. I tilted my head repeatedly and had time to think. Then, I told him.

“Ante!”

“Ante? Who is that?”

“Um…… Ante, she is giving me the food.”

Yes, she gave me food. And hits and pinches me all the time.

But, she did not teach me. She did not give me information about my mom. She just told me I was not like my mother and that she was beautiful.

‘She’s a liar.’

How pretty I am. When I thought of Ante, I was annoyed but I forced myself to smile. This is my first time being with Euphil. I had to show him that I’m a pure and naive half-sister.

He looked like he felt bad. Did I do something wrong?

“Huh, do you listen to the maid?”

“Maid?”

“I mean the women who comes and goes.”

“How do you know everything, oppa?”

Whew. I did nothing wrong.

Holding his hand tight, I looked around his room. I saw something among the cookies that I wanted to eat from the beginning. Wow, there were macaroons!

He looked toward the direction that I was staring at.

“I thought you needed to wash your face that is filled with dust.”

“What is that?”

“It’s a towel.”

“No. what the… I mean the round ones.”

I almost said what the heck.

But, I must not make him feel bad. I almost lost my mind because of the cookies. No, no, no, no.

I gazed at his face as if I was begging something.

“Did you mean cookies?”

“I, I like cookies.”

“Whatever.”

This was a chance. I smiled at him and shook his hand.

“Now I also like Euvil!”

He frowned. It’s like he did not like the way I called him.

“Call me Prince Euphil.”

“Euvil.”

“Prince Euphil.”

“Euvil.”

“……I told you Prince Euphil.”

“Euvil, oppa.”

It seemed that he was not satisfied with my attitude.

“Whatever. Eat your cookies. And, I am not your oppa.”

Finally, I got the macaroons. At the moment, I fell down.

“Ahhhh!”

“What happened?”

His voice sounded like he was frustrated. I used to fall down intentionally before but this was not like that. I felt severe pain on my knees.

“Waaaaaaah!”

A girl was crying, who was only five years old in front of him. He did not know what he was supposed to do in this situation.

“Ang….”

“What a crybaby.”

“Anyone feels pain when.. falling… down. Waaaaaah.”

“I see. Then……”

When babies cry, you usually give them something they like. This job should also be applied to Euphil.

Something was put into my mouth.

‘It’s sweet.’

“Mmm.”

“……. Has the crying stopped?”

“Yummy……”

He gave me a friendly look. When he noticed I saw him, he immediately changed it to frown.

“Just finish it.”

And another macaroon was put into my mouth. Wow.

“It’s delicious.”

The macaroons were really delicious. Really. It’s true about the description of the book. This was the first macaroon I’ve ever had.
