Chapter 24's

...***...

If I had an evil woman, I would immediately run and pour a sari on Ludva's cheek, but unfortunately, I am an insignificant character with zero abilities. So, most likely nothing would have done well if I had run to Ludva alone. My strength is to be a parasite, and Duke Icard has a much greater power than me.

And, of course, I'm good at being a parasite.

'' Father, pay close attention.

I can make it clearer, but I have to be careful for my own safety.

'If I get caught smarter than they think, they'll be on guard.'

I had to make a hole for myself to escape. This was because the only word that came from this novel was almost like a small piece of me.

Even from the poor performance of my health condition, everything still went smoothly for me.

Fortunately, I think the timing is right. Evan and a grown man in blue uniform face each other with swords behind the rose garden. Although for a moment, it could be recognized that their swords were completely different.

They don't seem to have noticed our presence.

As I approached, I could hear my voice clearly.

"Did you see that rose garden?"

A man with a sharp impression pushed towards Evan bluntly. Maybe it was a guy named Ludva.

"This is the place where she takes care of him with all her heart and soul."

Duke Icard's jaw hardened after hearing Ludva's words.

“And now turned into a devastating mess, like the duke.”

I watched the scene while holding my breath. Evan turned his back on us, so we couldn't see his face.

“That's all because of you.”

The Duke of Icard, as well as I, were so shocked that I gasped.

'No, what is he talking about? Is he crazy?'

"So, your life must also be ruined."

I could not see his expression caused by harsh words, but when I looked, it seemed that Evan did not deserve the same sword as Ludva.

Evan holds a short wooden sword, while Ludva confronts Evan with a real sword.

"I think you've forgotten it because no one told you."

I know nothing about swordsmanship, but I can see that it is not fair at all.

It's adults against children. No matter how tall Evan was compared to his peers, he was still smaller than Ludva.

“Do not dare to dream of happiness. Live in a feeling of penance.”

When Ludva hit Evan hard on his waist with a sword, he fell down.

I almost screamed, though technically, I didn't need to hold it anymore. Because the Duke of Icard walked towards them, took Ludva's sword, threw it away, and gripped his collar, and threw it on the ground.

"How dare you."

It was a voice full of anger.

"Have you tarnished Matilda's name for my son?"

I ran and hugged Evan.

"Gat!"

Evan looked at me with a confused expression.

I took her clothes with trembling hands. His body has more wounds than when I saw him yesterday. If I didn't realize it or if I continued to fall asleep alone because I was sleepy every day, would he endure these painful times longer?

No, was Evan always this big in the original story?

"What's going on?" Evan asked calmly, and I immediately replied.

“I begged dad to come see you practice with me. By the way, what are you talking about ..."

Suddenly, Evan dragged me to his chest and hugged me. Then, he closed my ears and whispered.

“Do not see. Don't listen.”

"What?"

“This is rough.”

I'm just here to see the bad stuff!

I was locked up in Evan, with my eyes and ears closed. However, no matter how hard Evan tried to cover my ears, I could hear the scream clearly.

No, I want to see how the duke taught him a lesson!

"You don't have to see this."

No, I want to see…

However, Evan's strength was much stronger than I expected to the point that I could not lift my head even if I struggled.

A group of servants rushed over after hearing Ludva's scream. Only then did Evan slightly loosen his hand that covered my ears.

I immediately pulled my head from Evan's embrace.

“Send him to jail. Soon, I will follow him myself. ”

Duke Icard's voice sounded like frozen ice. The bloodstained figure was dragged away by the servants.

'So full. We can't end it like this! We will scold him even more!'

I cheered internally, and Duke Icard slowly turned his head towards us.

"You."

After the man who looked like Ludva was taken away, Duke Icard spoke, staring at Evan with cold eyes.

"How stupid are you to listen to all that shit?"

Daddy's! What are you talking about? Is it time for you to say that word?

I want to hit him on the back. To his surprise, Evan was calm.

“... When you see it, what he says is true.”

"What?"

"I shouldn't have been born ..."

Duke Icard did not answer. Instead, he spoke in a low voice.

Why are you talking about that now? Is there anyone here who doesn't know that Evan is his successor?

"Don't let ordinary subordinates treat you recklessly from now on."

After staring at Evan for a while, he turned to stare at the rose garden for a long time, left us behind, and walked away.

No, is this the end? Is it over if he steps on Ludva like that? You know it's not just about hitting him, and everything will be fine.

Shouldn't you tell Evan that everything Ludva said isn't true?

Finally, I looked into Evan's eyes and said.

“It's all wrong. How was your mistake?”

Well, the only thing that hurt him was gone, but the situation had not improved.

“How can you say that, Evan? It's not your fault your mother died.”

"But I'm the cause."

"Fixed…"

“I make everyone unhappy. I couldn't hold back my subordinates because I didn't think too much about them, but. Everything Ludva said was true.”.

No, no, that's not true... Why did the duke say that? I felt so sorry for Evan's expression that I hugged him tightly.

“You too... Stay away from me because I am worthless.”.

“No, Evan.” And I gently stroked her black hair.

“Don't say that. I'm glad I got to hang out with you.”

"Why?"

“Because you are sweet.”

That's sincere. I know he's indifferent, but Evan is sweeter than I thought. Her appearance was obviously far from pretty, but there was a subtle cuteness that only I felt.

When she saw something she liked, I wanted to see her bite her lip and hold her smile, so I was happy to choose her clothes. It was funny how he muttered to himself, "I'm sorry." However, I never knew there was such a heartbreaking situation.

Surprisingly I felt sad when I saw Evan, and my heart became weaker and weaker.

It's a little different to me fighting to survive here. My feelings for Evan are just sincere.

Of course, he was a little older than me, but in the future, he would definitely have an appearance that made him look younger than the others.

To be honest, I can't actively say that all of Ludva's words aren't true because I don't know Duke Icard's thoughts. Still, I patted him on the shoulder and whispered.

“Even your late mother does not want you to live in ruins.”

"But…"

“Dad, um.. well, just because your mother's death doesn't mean that you're to blame for everything and have to live like the dead.”

In fact, Ludva is to blame more than anyone. As far as I know, he planned the scheme without letting Young Master Icard sleep soundly.

"Don't you think it's better for you to live your life to the fullest?"

In my opinion, it is impossible to end life as warmly as I expected, given the relationship between Duke Icard and Evan is still worse even after this situation. Well.they have a long family history, and I can't solve everything at once.

"Thank you?"

"Yes. Very." Very."

“...Laria.”

Evan called my name slowly.

"I'm sorry. I was wrong."

"How are you wrong?"

“Says rude things.. ignores your sincerity..”.

“Don't say that. Yeah, right."

"How is that okay?" Evan's red eyes were shaking.

I patted him on the shoulder with a mature attitude. "The couple went through some tough times, but we'll be fine with time."

"Then…"

"Huh?"

He held his breath for a while and spoke hesitantly.

“...Don't ever dump me.”

"Evan?"

"I'm sorry…"

Oh, he's not sane. He must have been emotionally unstable from all the emotional abuse from that bad guy.

Although it was somewhat inevitable, no one convinced Evan, and he was harassed without anyone knowing it.

I looked straight at him after he spoke.

"Let's get along well from now on, okay?"

"OK okay."

I am not doing this to improve my relationship with him. I responded immediately out of sympathy.

Hugging me, it seemed like he was still limping and it was hard to get up.

"Evan, is it hard to get up?"

I anxiously swept his arm.

Then, what kind of superpowers did he have when he covered my ears and hugged me just a moment ago?

"A little bit…"

"Let's go. Let's apply some medicine. Why are you beaten like a fool .. You said you were good at swordsmanship.”

As soon as Evan tried to say something, my chest suddenly tickled.

Shit, his cough should have come out in front of the duke! Why not go out when needed. My throat hurt because I was breathing hard.

I looked at Evan's face.

'No. I don't want to vomit blood.'

The one who should be entertained right now is Evan.

"You'll know someday, but not now."

If I spew blood here, Ludva has already caused enough trouble for the duke to be destroyed, I cannot add more to it.

“Come fast and treat you.. right there, right there! Evan, let's go. ”

I immediately left the rose garden with Evan after gesturing to a servant who had been far away.
