Chapter 18's

6. Bye, Tilrod family! (See you, Tilrod's family!)

All her life, she never felt any love from her family.

So, to be loved, she tries to break her whole body just to make a place for herself with them.

But in the end, the one thing he expected never came true.

For all the efforts he made just to be loved, the only thing Radis received was the terrible pain and torment of— and, the betrayal of his family.

When this second chance came along, Radis did not want to repeat that life again.

He wanted to get rid of the chains that he referred to as family members. To do this, he had to leave the family of Tilrod.

But even though she had memories of her past life, she was currently just a sixteen-year-old girl, so it wasn't easy to leave the family fence.

Radis' desperate desire is made too simple just by the contract he has with Marquis Russell.

He had no idea how much Marquis Russell was paying to take Radis, but his family were only worried about the possibility that he might change his mind and end up not taking him at all.

Thanks to this, with a kind of calmness that he had never felt before, Radis finished preparing to leave the Tilrod family.

Radis decided to throw away the items he once used that would definitely be thrown away after he left.

Mirror, comb, dresser, closet. These were the things he used in his last life, until the last breath he took.

These things evoke memories of his previous horrible life.

Radis burned everything as if he was lighting the fire of a hellish life that he did not want to repeat again.

When she burns old things and packs the things she needs for her new life, her little room is left empty.

Standing in the doorway of the barren room, Radis received everything at once.

As the apparition goes, the young woman with her red hair cut carelessly stood by the window, and she could be seen through the glass.

"I'm sorry, but what you want for yourself will never come true."

Radis said, sad.

"I'm going to live for myself now."

He's closing the door.

In the hallway, Irene stood with her luggage.

His lips were wrinkled and distorted, but his eyes were strangely twitching.

Then, just as Radis was about to pass through,

“...This, this is weird.”

“……”

“Why did Milady go to another house when you weren't even married? And why are the Masters and Madam paid money for it?”

Radis could see Irene clutching the handle of the bag.

“When I came to this house as a servant, my parents cried and apologized. I was sold as a maid because my house was poor, and that only happened because my sisters had no food to eat. But that doesn't apply to Mr and Mrs. Why did they sell you, Madam?”

Irene whispered quickly in a low voice.

“For Marquis Russell? No, Madam. Don't you know about the rumors surrounding the Marquis? They said that he was actually a demon monster. I'm telling the truth. Bu Luda said that!”

Radis looked at Irene in silence.

Ever since the bowl of soup was handed over to Irene's head, their relationship had changed.

Irene actually began serving Radis as the young miss of the Tilrod family.

As soon as she accepts Radis as her boss and not just a 'rogue family member she can bully whenever she wants', Irene's strange allegiance begins to gradually shift from Margaret to Radis.

Irene felt sorry for Radis and what she had to go through, and she began to see how Margaret was too rude to her eldest daughter.

And little by little, he started siding with Radis just like that.

Radis was about to leave.

"And he's got to stay here."

Radis recalled Irene's death in her previous life.

Here, Radis would not participate in the conquest in place of David, so Irene did not need to be killed just to keep that secret.

However, with this thought, Irene could die sooner than before.

"Take it off."

Radis took the bag Irene was holding.

“I'm sure you know. I'm sick and tired of this house and the Tilrod family. I even prefer living in a monster forest. But now, I can stay in the Marquisate of Russell, so what could be better than this?”

His voice is ice cold.

“You shouldn't pretend to be by my side for no reason. It won't benefit you. It would be best if you could pay attention to how you act around here. ”

"Mrs…!"

“They have sold their biological daughter like this. What do you think they'll do to a waitress?”

“……!”

"Be careful. As long as possible.”

Radis came down the stairs with his bag.

In front of the mansion, the carriage that Marquis Russell had sent was waiting.

And unexpectedly, Margaret and Yurhi were also at the entrance.

While carrying his luggage, Radis reluctantly uttered a few words as he passed by.

"saturings. Take care of your health."

Margaret's lips began to turn into a strange shape.

With a forced smile, Margaret spoke.

“Yeah, you talk like you'll never see me again. We'll see you soon again.”

“……”

“Ohohoho! Since you are going to the Marquisate, be sure to hang out with the high-ranking people there. Talk about your family, or your sister.”.

Radis breathed.

“Where's Dad?”

Hearing this question, Margaret's false laughter collapsed.

His face was now a poisonous expression, he spoke as if he had spat out those words.

"What's the point of knowing where the guy is?"

Radis realized it.

Jade didn't seem to come home last night.

In an even worse mood now, Margaret took a step forward and began to vent her anger, grabbing Radis' arm tightly.

“This is not just a scolding but your mother's advice, so keep this in mind! You leave the house, but you still carry the name Tilrod, so act accordingly and never forget that David is the pillar of this family. And as I said last time, no matter how heavy the person is, if you return from the Marquisate.!”.

Perhaps knowing that Yurhi was there, Margaret's voice became silent.

“You will really die after being hit by my hand. Moreover, help the family, do not bring disgrace! ”

It was only then that Radis realized what Margaret and the other members of the Tilrod family were thinking.

They seemed to think that Radis would be the lover of the Marquis or something, that was why he went to the Marquisate.

Far from the cold expression Irene had seen before, all that was on Radis' face now was disappointment and cynicism.

"If you're worried about that, shouldn't you say that you can't sell your daughter?"

Margaret's lips distorted again, crumbling into a strange shape.

The way his lips twisted looked was extremely exaggerated, and he grumbled and tried to rationalize his decision, his voice becoming louder as if this would make his reasoning reasonable.

“I just made a decision that will benefit David's future with the Tilrod family. Think about what you have done so far. You're blocking David! You should be grateful that you can even help your family. You can't blame me for letting you go there. Hold everyone in this house and ask. Anyone would say that it is best to get rid of a princess like you!”

Radis looked at Margaret with endless cold eyes.

Although Irene has changed ...

Margaret wasn't.

And Jade was the same.

Radis speaking.

“I have a lot to say about that, but I will hold back. I already know how you react.”

"Ha! What's that?!"

Radis was about to turn around, but he stopped.

This would be the second time he asked Margaret the same question.

The first was when he was on his deathbed in his past life.

And now…

"Why are you doing this to me?"

“A-What I—!”

“Why do you hate your own child so much? Why did you never love me? You never hit as much as David or Yurhi, but why with me, are your hands so heavy? What did I do wrong? I don't know why I had to sacrifice so much just because I was born as the eldest daughter of this family.!”.

Radis stopped talking and took a deep breath.

He has to stop himself. If he were to say it again, things that had not happened to the sixteen-year-old Radis would probably be revealed.

But this alone seems to have triggered Margaret enough.

He even threw his pretentious mask, which he usually did not take off in front of David or Yurhi, then he started to talk carelessly with a demon-like face.

"What's? this dara! What's?! A sacrifice? What sacrifices have you made? I am the one who sacrificed so much! Don't forget that I gave birth to you, I fed you, and I'm giving you enough grace and shelter where you can sleep! How dare you say things like you're the only one who suffers! You deserve…!"

"I deserve it, that's why?"

“……!”

Very slowly, Radis' lips curved into a cold smile.

"Yes I know. That's why you treat me like that. You never loved me or even considered me as your daughter. Even so, I did my best because I thought you would love me. I persevered and worked hard just to be recognized as a family. I must look stupid because I fought like that, right?”

Radis looked at Margaret, who had been silent all this time, and she continued to speak in a dry voice.

“I don't need you anymore. I don't want to fight just to stay here. I don't want to live like that. So I went.”

An irresistible cold silence stretched between Radis and Margaret.

Unable to hold this silence, Yurhi shouted.

"Now ... Please stop!"

As if trying to change the atmosphere, Yurhi forced herself to smile and speak to Radis.

“Ah, Radis. Brother David still hasn't woken up, but don't be disappointed. We'll meet again. Because we're family, right?”

Yurhi clenched her hands under her chin, and with a serious look in her eyes, she begged Radis.

“But besides, after you approach the Marquis, please invite me to the Marquisate. You can do it, right? And you'll send me a gift, won't you? Right?"

Even he hasn't changed.

David would be the same.

Without answering Yurhi, Radis turned around.

And he got on the train without looking back.

“Please go.”

Thus, Radis left the family of Tilrod.

He did not feel the slightest bit of regret.
