My Novel Antagonist is My Husband

Chapters 11. Cass

A few weeks later.

“Tch, shit ... I got hit again .. ,” umpatku, as soon as I realized my dress was sticky on Valcke's home garden bench. When I tried to stand up, the rendition decoration was torn, held back by the glue applied to the bench.

From a distance I heard the shrill laughter of someone, Cass, the second son. I looked towards the source of the sound. Cass' head poked out from behind the tree, to laugh at me more clearly.

“Because of you! You stray cat! Foolish of him, being able to get caught in my trap so many times, hahaha!”

Brash kid. How dare he, treat his creator like this. I'm sorry, why I didn't write down any of Cass' mischief to Alissa in detail. I just wrote that Cass was Duke Valcke's son who was so ignorant of Alissa that he kept crying.

Since I didn't write down the details, I didn't know when Cass would set a trap on me and where he would set me up. For the past few weeks, I've always managed to be the target of his pranks, over and over again.

I tried to pull the lace decorations on my sticky dress. It's free. I really can't pull it off at all. But I cannot be in this garden forever. Nimbly, I pulled the lace. What I feared happened. A loud 'brekk' sound was heard. My back dress ripped to the thighs.

“Hahaha!!” Cass's laughter grew louder. Really annoying. However, I can't repay him like what I did to Dea before. Cass is the son of Duke Valcke. It would be very suspicious if my mentality changed as Dea is currently experiencing.

After all, the whereabouts of Duchess Rinia, Theo, and Cass will be very important for me to live life while in this Valcke house. I should be able to take their hearts one by one.

“Wah, I'm glad Big Brother Cass invited me to play like always. Thank you, Brother!” I returned his ridiculing laughter with a smile.

Cass glared when he saw me smiling after being bullied by her. “I'm not asking you to play!”

I want to laugh like that. Cass must be so upset. The problem of small children, if the bullied do not feel disturbed, he will even get more emotional.

Cass stepped towards me with both legs pounded out loud. It was obvious that he was very angry at my behavior. As soon as he arrived before me, he raised one hand high, preparing to hit me. But I anticipated this.

When his right hand wanted to pinch me from the side, I ducked straight away. As soon as Cass' left hand moved, I dodged backwards. As she wanted to kick my stomach, I moved to her side. I didn't reply to all of his attacks at all, just dodging him until he was exhausted.

Sure enough, after the various attacks nothing hit me at all, Cass started fretting. The boy looked at me sharply, seeing that he was getting upset. I replied with a smile, as usual.

Cass was my first target. His age of seven made me think he was still easily influenced. This kid is still easy to ‘ formed’ his personality. Moreover, I know what things are his favorite. I've asked Dea to investigate this one.

“Sister,” call me to Cass who is still exhausted. I grabbed his arm and struggled spoiled, until he flicked it because it was angry with me.

“Do not touch-touch!” scream Cass. However, after practicing martial arts with Kyu for so many years, I knew how to maintain a position so as not to look at Cass pushing me.

“Kak, try to see!” I took out a packet of chocolate candy from inside the pocket of the dress. “Look, I have candy! Yesterday I asked Dea, my waiter, to buy this candy in the market!”

Both Cass's eyes immediately widened as soon as they saw the candy. Actually it's just a regular candy, containing melted chocolate in it. There are so many sweets on earth like this. Cass really liked it. However, because this candy is a market snack, Duchess Rinia does not allow Cass to consume this candy a lot.

The food of the noble children was indeed tightly controlled. As a result, Cass often secretly entrusts the waiter who is shopping, buying this chocolate candy for him. Of course, it is also often caught by the hostess.

“This candy! You got any?” ask Cass. His eyes are so sparkling. Now, who's the stray cat here? Fishing with food is approaching!

“Sure, I have a lot! Brother Cass want?” I was fishing, intentionally.

“Ti ... no! Not necessary! I don't need anything from you!” said firmly.

“Ah, what a pity ... whereas, I still have a lot. But, I'm full .. whereas I'm afraid of getting caught by Dad if you eat a lot of candy.” My face showed sadness when I said this. Of course I can't be sad about the original. 25-year-old woman crying over candy.

“What do I throw away, yes?” I looked down at the candy in my hand. Scroll a glimpse of Cass's face. He seemed to swallow his saliva.

“Se-as much as what you have?” ask Cass. He's getting hooked!

I took out a bag of cloth from my dress pocket. I open the drawstring, I deliberately do in front of Cass so that the curiosity to see.

“One ... two ... three ... .” I counted slowly the contents of the cloth bag, like a child. The more I counted, the more Cass wanted to take one of those candies.

“There are ten, Brother! Brother want?”

“Mau!! E-eh, I mean ...” He began to be confused as to what to do in front of me. I smiled and gave a packet of candy to her hand.

“This I gave you one!” Cass looks very enthusiastic, even though I only give a pack. Quickly, Cass unwrapped the candy and ate it.

Now, I have a decoy for Cass. I don't know when this will work. The bigger, hobbies and likes of young children usually change. I have to be on my guard and keep researching, whatever the Valcke family members like.

“Cass, what are you doing!”

There was another child's voice, but it was more mature and firm. I turned my head, looking as though Theo had come with a wooden sword in hand. Theo the eldest son stared intently at Cass in the garden.

Cass was so jumped, that he accidentally swallowed whole candy that he had not had time to chew. “*uhuk!* Sister!”

“Dad searched for you from earlier! It's time for sword practice, come on!” exclaim Theo, then pull Cass's hand.

“Ta-but, I ...“ Cass is trying to stay in this place with me. I know, Cass isn't really that interested in Valcke's sword practice. For weeks I have been living in this house, I often see him skipping and even playing in the park. However, Theo could always drag him back to the training area.

“What are you here for? Don't miss the exercise!”

“Ah, this ... this stray cat .. him ...” Cass pointed at me. Theo looked at me and I replied with a smile. A moment later, he threw away his gaze.

“Do not play with dirty animals. Come!”

Theo pulled Cass' hand back, away from me. Unlike Cass, Theo's nature is much more mature. His attitude is always cold. He never wanted to deal with me. He never looked at me for more than three seconds. I thought of him as a ghost in this house.

Conquering Theo is much harder than Cass. I need to find out what his weakness is. However, the eldest son seemed to have no flaws at all. His academic grades in school have always been good. Similarly with the value of sports and sword science. The child is also diligent in learning and always obeying the words of parents, especially his mother.

Where should I find out Theo's weakness? Surely, by extracting information from my new pet, Cass. Therefore, it was important for me to be able to take Cass' heart first.

At night, before I went to bed, I accidentally stopped by Cass' room. Knock on the door of his room and after many times, Cass finally opened the door lazily.

“Do you want to go to my room! Uh, it ... want!” cass shouted, as I lifted a packet of candy before his eyes. He immediately canceled nagging me.

I put my index finger to my lips. “Ssttt! Don't be noisy, brother! Sis Cass can be scolded if you eat chocolate this night!”

“Oh, yes, yes!” quickly answer. However, when Cass wanted to snatch the candy, I immediately dodged it.

“I have terms!”

“What?” cass was impatient.

I thought for a moment, then asked, “What does Brother Cass know, what does Brother Theo like?”

“Hmmm, don't know! Theo never had anything of his favorite!” answer Cass while glaring.

Don't have any likes? Ah, it can be this hard! In what way should I approach Theo? While I myself never write detailed things about him, except his attitude that is cool and cold as an adult.

“I answered you, right? Now give me the candy!” Cass again snatched the candy in my hand. I avoided again.

“Wait first! What if the thing that Kak Theo hates, is there?”

“Hmmm, not really!” answer Cass quickly. “The brother was a very neutral person on anything! I just know he hates you."

“Hmmm ..” I'm back to thinking. Theo's hatred for me is nothing new. Is there really no other way?

"Didn't Brother Theo have anything to bear on his mind lately?" I asked again, still trying.

“Oh, I remember something!" exciting Cass. "Lately he's looked moody, anyway! But I don't know why!” sahut Cass again.

“Oh, yes? How poor?
