Rawon Stores In Isekai

8. Lucas the Truth

"Linden?! I'm the firstborn here, Dad! Not Linden!"

"However, Linden proved to be more capable and intelligent than you! Do you know, if he's the one who caught the guy who tricked you, huh! The fraudster teamed up with Viscount Frederik who never liked our family. He was also the one who reported this transaction to all the citizens in order to drop the Foxton name. Did you go that far?"

Lucas clenched both hands on his lap. There was a rumbling of teeth pressing down on each other. Lucas did not like the name of his brother began to be brought to the surface, when he was talking to his father. Because surely what appears is only comparison and comparison.

Linden is three years younger than Lucas, 22. However, his intelligence and strength exceeded Lucas's threefold. Linden is a child who is touted as a "born genius".

Since Linden began to show his cleverness speaking one full sentence at the age of just a year, since then Lucas' life has become unsettled. Plus, Linden is the ideal body like a young knight and handsome face. Linden's popularity after her teenage party was held immediately shot up among the girls.

The goddess of fortune did not give the same to Lucas as her brother. What Lucas had to do three times as hard, Linden could do in one try. His father often compared the eldest and the youngest, making Lucas look jealous of his younger brother.

Lucas never hated Linden, but he didn't like being compared. However, indeed the gap between the two of them was quite wide. After being both adults, Lucas also felt that Linden also hated him, just as the citizens did to him so far.

"Not only that," Alfred Foxton continued, after he noticed his son did not reply to any comments again. "I will cut your financial rations, as a form of responsibility for your carelessness. You got it, Lucas?"

Lucas remained silent. Alfred looked at his son who kept his head down. He exhaled slowly so that his emotions were muffled, then said, "You can go now."

Fiona was trying to hide behind an urn as tall as her size, when one of the leaves of the office door opened. Lucas threw it away, making the girl surprised. He forgot that he had to hide immediately so as not to be caught eavesdropping. However, late. Lucas sees Fiona, who still looks half-body.

Even so, Lucas remained silent. He looked towards Fiona with a pushy gaze, as if tears were about to spill from the eye patch. Then, the fat young man threw his face in the opposite direction and left.

Fiona quietly followed. His premonition was not so good about his master. Along the corridor, there was an angry voice from Lucas' shoes clashing against the marble floor. Then, from the end of the corridor, there was a person who was escorted by the two warriors behind him.

Such a handsome figure, like a betel nut halved with Lucas, if only he was not fat. The figure was wearing armor, while carrying his helmet one hand. His body looks so handsome. Fiona quickly pulled over, in order to make way.

Lucas stopped, as if to let him pass first. "Linden," said Lucas softly while smiling.

The younger brother looked at Lucas' eyes for a moment as he continued walking. However, when their distance was already close, Linden threw away a glance. He kept walking straight past Lucas without looking at him. Linden also passed Fiona who was not far behind Lucas standing. As if, Linden did not think her brother existed.

Lucas looked at Linden's back further away. The smile faded from his face. The young man turned around, going in the opposite direction from his sister. This time with tears that began to drip one or two, which were instantly wiped by the back of his fat hand. However, Fiona had already seen it.

Lucas walked quickly, down to the first floor. Then, he went down the east wing corridor. Fiona knows, this is towards the kitchen. But, what's Lucas going there for? ask the girl in your heart.

"Young Master, what are you doing! It's dinner till tonight! No!" The main chef directly prevented Lucas' actions. However, Lucas brushed off the chef's hand without looking. He continued to take out the available food supplies and took them to a long table in the middle of the room. Lucas sat on the bench and.

As if he had never eaten for days, Lucas' mouth always welcomed what was in the mouth of his hand. One loaf, two, three .. everything just vanished without a remnant. His mouth continued to sound violently, without feeling ashamed if the servants around noticed him. Some look amused, there are also pity. Fiona's not coming into the kitchen. He just peeked out from behind the pillar. Fiona doesn't understand at all. This scene is not in the original story.

"Fiona, what are you doing?" 

Fiona jumped up and immediately looked back. Brie the butler patted her on the shoulder. The old woman took a peek at what her subordinates were looking at. Before long, he shook his head while taking a deep breath. 

"What a pity, Young Master. Must have been the Great Lord nagging him again," said Brie. The woman fixed the location of the glasses perched on her nose for a moment, before entering the kitchen. He stood behind his master, and stopped the hand that was bribing.

"Master .. Come on, to the room. That's enough .. ." Brie interruption. Lucas looked at the waiter.. His gaze was clear as he said, "I'm hungry ... ."

"I'll make you some delicious food. Now, sir to the room first, yeah." Brie continued to persuade, until finally Lucas according. The two of them went up to the third floor, the location where Lucas' room was located. The kitchen waiters cleaned up the leftovers from Lucas' meal without commenting, as if it was a common occurrence. A reality that Fiona never expected hit her heart.

Is this the real Lucas? Who always had evil thoughts on Renata and Collin's relationship, which was hated by the citizens because of being fat and considered useless....?. turns out to be someone who is easily fragile when being depressed?

Fiona thought, when she had finished reading "Lady Renata", she could figure out all the storylines in it. Fiona feels she has gotten to know all the characters in her favorite webtoon. Fiona supports Renata and Collin's relationship, and hates Lucas' existence, as do other readers. Now, he has entered into the world of online comics that he likes and is confronted by facts that are not revealed.

Could it be that all I know is the surface? Could it be, everything here was inspired by "Lady Renata", but it was actually a completely different world?

Then .... Why am I thrown into this world?

"Fiona!" Brie again appeared before Fiona who was still in the first-floor corridor. "Young Master asked you to come to the room. He said you haven't cleaned the room. Is true?"

"Eh? I cleaned up ... ," said Fiona. Brie shaking hands. "Something may have been missed. Yeah, you go there again."

Fiona's feelings suddenly became unpleasant. If Lucas could run to the food because of stress, now why would he call Fiona, if not for another vent?

Before long, Fiona arrives at her master's room. His hand was instantly forcibly pulled by Lucas when the girl had just finished closing the door.
