Vol. 4 Chapter 2.4 - My honowable defianse toward confronting the disrespekful illllegal inhabitant



The Count’s daily life revolves mostly in a regular routine.

On weekdays, that man went to work at the government office, usually returning before dinner, but a couple of times a week he would return in the afternoon. When he returned, the first thing he would do was to check on Mother and my youngest sibling to make sure they were okay, then he would turn to me and Eurea and give greetings.

“Did everything go well today?”

“Yes, Dad! I missed you.”

Eurea hugged him, as if she’d been depressed all day without him, when she’d been playing enthusiastically with her dolls without saying a word just moments before. With an abominable smile on her face.

Foolish as he was, he fell for the witch’s lies and swept her up in a hug, kissing her on both cheeks. Then he opened one hand and held it out to me.

In the past, I would have run to him without delay and demanded his trust and affection, but not now. Nevertheless, I approached him without rejection and hugged him once, but only to hide my feelings. I clung to his legs as a large hand stroked my hair and then patted my back.

“You’ve done a good job of keeping the family together in my absence.”

“Of course, I’m an Alpha.”

“Excellent, my son.”

Well, even without you, I’m already a 7 year-old alpha male, so I can take care of my mother and siblings. It’s true that I’ve even spread marmalade on Eurea’s bread at lunchtime for my mother and Martha are still busy with baby Jester. Give me more pats in the head and more compliments.

“I hear you’ve been doing some new research lately.”

At that, I glared at Eurea, who smiled as she removed her mouth from that man’s ear while being held in strong arms. Such a light-mouthed minion. There was no way in hell I was going to spill the beans, so I replied with an amused grin that was second to none for the blonde-haired wicked witch.

“It’s my own secret research.”

“You’re not going to tell your father about it this time?”

“It’s a secret.”

He looked disappointed, but I insisted on keeping it a secret to the end. Of course, I will let you know one day, and by then you will be on your knees before me, apologising, and begging my forgiveness with tears for tormenting the Teiwind Count, and then I will punish you. What punishment should I give him? I have not yet thought of it. I will have to write an entry about it in my journal tonight.

Cunningly, Martha held out the empty tray to me, and as soon as I reflexively grabbed it, she scurried away.

“Martha!”

“I can hear Young Master Jester crying, and I need to change his nappy.”

Not hearing me call after her, she quickly disappeared into Mother’s room. Sneaky old witch.

To think that what I saw wasn’t that man’s first time doing it. He must have bothered Mother even before that. Perhaps even before I was born. Seven years, seven years of such horrors, what an evil demon.

But now that I knew this truth, I could tolerate it no longer. This circle of evil must be broken by me, Lenoc Ellim Teiwind, in the name of my ancestors. Therefore, I boldly decided to rebel from this day forward. I decided to take mental revenge on this crude and unscrupulous man by retorting his every word.

Before going to bed, I would lie in bed with him and listen to him read to me, asking everything, part by part.

“Why did the golden lion cry here?”

“I think he was sad because he lost his friend.”

“Why would he be sad to lose a friend?”

“... Maybe because he won’t be able to see his friend anymore.”

“Why won’t they see each other?”

“That’s because....... When you lose a friend, it means you won’t be able to see them anymore. And it’s very sad not to see someone you want to see.”

The demon’s expression seemed a little darker than usual as he said that. My heart sank, and I wondered if my intentions had been discovered. After a moment of silence, he smiled kindly and began to read the next sentence. But I didn’t hear that at all and blurted out another question.

“Father, did you have someone that you lost and feel sad about?”

NOTE: Rapiel has a younger sibling and that sibling married into Derbyshire family, then their child was named Rapiel.
