9  Chapter 9

Nyamnyam.  I’ve only ever eaten milk. When I tried the texture of the cookies was a bit rough, but it was delicious.

“Nyamnyam.”

I look down on Yuric as if he is absurd while looking at my cookie.

“You! Spit it!”

He still think that cookies are poisoned.

“Isn’t the cookies that Dietrich gave you to give me?! How can you eat it? You will die!”

‘No, Dietrich never gave me anything like cookies …’

I watched Yuric floating in a fuss. Her skin which was originally white grew paler like losing blood.1

“Damn. Should I make her puke?”

‘Yeah?’

I suddenly turned to Yuric’s actions to turn me upside down.

“Oh!!!” (no!)

It’s not poisonous!  I don’t have to throw up!

I cried as hard as I could, but Yuric couldn’t understand me.

The child lifted me up like a quilt laundry and started spinning. How on earth you make me throw up in this stupid way!

‘This would make a baby more sick!’

The world was dizzy. A black shoe was caught at the end of my inverted view.

“What are you doing now?”

Dietrich who just appeared quickly pulled me out of Yurick’s hand.  When I barely touched the floor, I screamed insanely and inhaled.

“Ughh.huhhh.”

It was an act to help me, but I think Yuric seems to be an absurd guy who has never looked after a baby.

‘However, it was better for him to kill his brother when he was younger.’

I looked at Dietrich with tears. I wanted him to hug me and even pat me on the back, but that boy turned his head and turned his gaze.

“What are you doing?”

“Oh, no, your sister swallowed poison.”

“… you fed her?”

Dietrich’s aura changed when he heard Yuric’s answer. His gray aura -which was so blurry and almost invisible- quickly turns black.

Not dirty anger like Derreck’s aura, but clean and sober.

‘Why the hell does a child feel like that!’

No matter how clean it is, it’s still harsh.  I swear I want to escape from Dietrich’s aura.

“Damn, don’t look at me as a coward like Brother Galang! I don’t aim for a baby.”

“It sounds funny. Then why is it poisoned?”

“I wasn’t feeding! You were trying to feed me poison with the food this baby gave me, I just swallowed it wrong”

Dietrich chuckles at Yuric’s scream.  I began to notice that the water was colder and colder until it seemed frozen.

‘… Look at it and get out.’

If they get caught in a fight, it’s good to get the shrimp out in a whale fight.

“Even cowards have class. You’re not as good as Brother Galang.”

“…..What?”

“Why do I poison you? You’re just a candidate who Will dissapear even of I let you go.”

“This child! I know it’s sweet!”

The face of Yuric who realizes that Dietrich is ignoring himself is a problem.  Even his aura which was not so harmful turned red.

‘ugh, choking!’

I rolled on the floor to stay away from angry children.

“Wait a minute. Then why did that baby give me a cookie?”

I wanted to get out of the hall almost unnoticed by them, but the arrow came back to me.

“Ppa?”

When I turned around both Dietrich and Yuric were staring at me.  I winked my innocent eyes as if I didn’t know anything.

“You just gave me?”

Yuric comes to me before Dietrich.  He folded his knees and stared at me in the same level with my eyes.

“It wasn’t a poisoned cookie, it was just a gift?”

It’s the color of the earth that I once saw in a book.  Someone called the earth a pale blue star, but Yuric’s eyes twinkled like that blue star.

“Pa!”

I can’t say anything or ask even if I agree.

“..…  Why?”

‘No, I can’t speak yet.’

He’s going to be Dietrich’s subordinate anyway, so I can’t help but make an excuse for trying to get a little close with him. I couldn’t answer in words, so I decided to speak with my body instead and I stood up then embraced Yuric’s face.

“Papa.”  (You’ll like me too.)

Of course, if the baby is hanging like that, I might get hit like with Dietrich.  However, Yuric didn’t even move.

He hardens like a person who first felt the warmth of others. I panicked, releasing the arm hanging from him and backing out a little.

When I focused on his aura, light green smoke mixed with white light was rising.

‘….. what was green?’

I don’t know because I didn’t read carefully about Anissa reading aura.

Either way, it’s not a bad feeling because it wasn’t cloudy.

Yuric grabbed and held my hand while biting his lips.

“Pa?”

I tried to step back because I was embarrassed by the incessant skinship, but he held my hand tight and never let me go.

“Pa!”  (Let it go!)

He placed his bigger hand on the baby’s hand which was confused because of shame.

“Sorry.”1

“…Pa?”

“I didn’t know you were just going to give me cookies.  You have nothing to eat. ”

Now I know what the green color is.  It seems that this emotion-which is close to light green-was ‘impressed’.6

“I misunderstood. Sorry.”

Yuric dropping his voice and stroked my head. I shrugged at Yuric’s aura.

‘What’s wrong with giving me some cookies?’

“Dietrich and you won’t even have cookies to eat. The Dahlia Palace is poor. It’s where poor slaves stay.”

‘Well, it’s not that good to hear.’

There seems to be no malice, but the criticism of the situation in the Dahlia Palace soon emerged from Yuric’s mouth.

But it was true. Since Dietreich had to hunt because there wasn’t any money to be distributed from LaGrange, it should be said that he stabbed it sharply.

“I’m sorry I misunderstood and spit out these precious cookies.”

Yuric carried me without my agreement.  He was sorry to spit out the cookies I gave.  I nodded up and down at Yuric’s sincere words.  Even if you listen to what he says or doesn’t, Yuric LaGrange seems to have a softer mind than the other successor candidates.

‘Well?  Was this his personality?

It seems that something is a little different from the character described in the novel.  Yuric Lagrange was a supporting character, so there were not many appearances.

‘It was Yuric who break Dietrich’s seal, too.’

“So why did you come to the humble Dahlia Palace?”

I was grinning while trying to recall the contents of the novel when my body lifted, and Dietrich’s voice was heard above my head. His voice was not good as if something was frozen.  Sounds like anger.

‘Is it because Yuric ignored the circumstances of the Dahlia Palace?’

Yuric turned to him responding to Dietrich’s question.

“I came to play again with you that I couldn’t win.”

‘Are you not able to win?’

In my memory, Yuric Lagrange was buried in the ground by Dietrich.

‘Very clearly, I think it’s a game.’

Dietrich had a similar thought with me and laughs briefly.

“You came because you wanted me to bury you in the ground again? It’s a strange taste.”

“Oh, no! I wasn’t dead, so it was a draw! Let’s stick it again, Dietrich!”

“I already removed two candidates. I don’t need to get rid of you.”

Dietrich avoided Yuric who was quietly speaking like a child.  It’s a neat gesture of turning your shoulders lightly.

“But why should I waste my energy?”

“Yaaa!”

Instead of answering, Yuric screamed and shouted, but he was healed by Dietrich’s perfect avoidance.

“Ouch!”

“Don’t be bothered, Euclid.”

“I’m Lagrange! My name is Yuric Lagrange! Don’t be bullshit!”

“I don’t care if you are Euclid or LaGrange.  If only you don’t touch me.”

Dietrich’s gaze as he stared at Yuric down was very cool.  Even if it was close to spring, I got the goosebumps on my back watched him.

“Don’t look down on me on the subject of slavery!”

After that, Yuric who is in trouble raises himself up again and rushes to Dietrich.  But he flew back before he even reached Dietrich.

‘Shadow ability!’

The Devil’s hand that came from Dietrich’s shadow grabbed Yuric’s ankle and began to spin. Even though it was only a very short moment, I noticed that his ankle was already swollen.

‘Won’t you die at this rate?’

Their relationship was obviously not bad in the novel, but it is strange.

‘Both are villains.’

I grabbed Dietrich’s legs tightly to kept Yuric from spinning in the air like he made me spin before.

“Pa” (No!)

“What?”

“Pabone” (Stop it!)

It was difficult if Yuric died now.  I had to take on the role of killing him, aiming for Derreck’s weaknesses.

When I grabbed the hem of his pants and shook it, Dietrich dropped the hand that had reached the ceiling.  At the same time, Yuric falls with a thump on the floor.

“Do you know that Derreck Lagrange’s mother was also a slave?”

“….…  Ugh. ”

“If you are seen in this palace and talk nonsense once more, then I will really get rid of you.”

Dietrich immediately turned around after speaking to Yuric who was close to tears because of his feelings of defeat.

“Pa!”  (where are you going suddenly!)

I hurriedly pursued Dietrich.

‘I need to give milk!’

Why is the boy who is always in the garden in the palace today?

I suddenly remembered the operation of sharing my milk and my appearance getting friendly.

“Ppapa!”  (wait!)

Dietrich didn’t stop as if he couldn’t hear my voice.

Eventually, I had no choice but to stop in place and give my stomach a lot of strength and shout out loud.

“Oppaaaa!!!!!!” (Brother!!!!)

Pong.

‘Ups.’

Pongpong. (Note: omg, she farted. How cute lol)

I tried to hurry up, but I couldn’t stop the farting that had already come to me.
