Became the Younger Sister of the Villainous Young Lady 193

Chapter 193 – Past: Leticia (2)

Dark secret room.

The mansion of Chepesch, that dungeon. In the gloomy air and the distant darkness that seems like there is no way out once you enter, a man’s voice is heard low.

“Scarlett.”
“Yes.”

He is my father

Gram.
My incompetent, yet strong self-respecting father.

He called me

“Kill him.”
“… Yes.”

Command fell I looked up. The target of the killing was a maid who worked at Chepesche’s mansion.

… It has only been a few years since a human female maid came to Chepeshu, where humans other than Blackwood were not allowed into the mansion.

In order to save the position of Chepes, which is becoming more and more precarious as the years go by, Gram started decorating the mansion like the aristocrats of the empire.

‘To think that the best choice was to imitate others.’

Even if he showed a special appearance to protect his more lofty position than anyone else, it was not enough, and at the point of choosing something like ‘showing the prestige of the family by increasing the number of employees’, which no one among the imperial aristocrats does, a glimpse of Gram’s miserable eyesight can be seen.

Chepes, who has been ruling for a thousand years, guarding this spacious mansion without a single employee, is now hiring a large number of human maids?

It’s like revealing that something is clearly changing.

‘Even if I said it was crazy, I saw it.’

What comes back is the force that is suppressed by the power of blood relatives. Thanks to that, I experienced what happens when the brain explodes due to pressure.

It was an experience I never want to go through again.

And now.

In the end, it was thanks to me that I found out that one of the maids brought in at that time was Sejak of Nosferatu.

It was in this cold dungeon.

“… Scarlett. What are you doing? Go ahead and kill me.”

Thought was long

Gram began to annoy me as I watched the woman who was about to die. If I procrastinated further, that temper would soon tire me, so I moved the shadow.

“Eup, ugh! Ugh-!”

The maid struggled with her.

It’s been a long time since I dug out my eyes, how did I feel that the shadow was moving?

Maybe you have a developed sixth sense. So, it must have been chosen to stick it into Chepesche in Nosferatu.

I’m sorry.

If it weren’t for being a spy, I would have put that ability to good use.

Creepy——!

Blood was splattered.

Dump. The sound of heavy flesh falling lifelessly.

“Are you sure you’re dead?”
“…”
“Well, okay. You’re not going to do something like this in vain.”

You say you’ll clean up after yourself. Speaking casually, he left the prison. Capturing people, torturing them for information, killing them… And even the cleanup, that man passed it on to me, his son, so casually.

“… Young master. We will do it.”
“Done.”

A crow appeared from the shadows and said, but I was bitten by it.

Anyway, if this happens again next time, he will entrust me with the work again. Vampires don’t seem to want blood on their hands.

Is this also part of it? Follow the imperial nobility.

Did he imitate the dirty work of getting his hands stained with blood, for the sake of his petty pride and position?

“… Shall we leave?”
“Yes? … Bocchan, that is.”

The ‘crow’ that heard my murmur was embarrassed and stopped me.

I know. The fact that most of the ‘crows’ are loyal to me, not him. I wonder how far that loyalty will go, so I’m still keeping my distance.

If so, are these words false? To say something that could be a weakness in front of a subordinate who might betray me at any time.

“…”
“… I’ll forget. So, Bocchan, too, please. … Thinking of the young lady——is it big?!”

Hmm.
I didn’t mean this. Unknowingly, since you mentioned Leticia. I gestured and loosened the neck of the guy who was being held in the shadow.

“It’s great, cool… Sorry. I dared to speak of a noble person.”
“Okay. … Instead of you deciding to forget about this, I will close my eyes to your mistake.”

The crow prostrated at me sank into the shadows again.

—Scarlett. Are you okay?

At the friendly voice that came to mind for no reason, I stopped laughing dejectedly. Yes, if I left Leticia, where would I go?

“I just need to be patient a little longer.”

The shadow that arose from my hand gesture swallowed the corpse that had cooled down before I knew it. A human who once lived and breathed, sinking into the shadows like a ‘crow’.

‘There’s no inspiration at all.’

It is a life that is turned off just by waving your hands. Even as the shadow decapitates and devours the corpse.

At first, I must have cried during the night.

-Don’t cry. Do you have a sister? Now, you can cry in your arms. Not nice

Right. Even then, Leticia stayed by her side and comforted her all night.

…

So simply, a life comes to an end.

I could reap life, so simply.

I looked down at my hands. There was still no sense left, no room for the inspiration of murder.

… It was not a very pleasant sensation.

*

Quite a bit of time has passed.

Nothing much has changed. Both I and Leticia are still bound by the name Chepeshu.

… If anything has changed.

“Scarlett!”
“Sister. Don’t stick around like that.”

Snap.

Leticia hugged my back, and two pieces of flesh that highlighted her matured body came into contact with each other.

When did you grow up like this?

“The lady of Chepes, even though they are siblings, others will look at you strangely if you hold each other like this.”
“What, why do you care about other people’s eyes? Focus on me, Scarlett!”

To be stubborn.

That’s not entirely wrong. This is the mansion of Chepes, and no outsider can say anything about seeing our brother and sister clinging to it.

But.

“My father will be angry if he sees it. What are you playing?”
“… Ah.”

Only then did Leticia slip away. Half regretful, half resigned, and complex emotions are mixed up in the expression, and my heart is written for no reason.

“… If you’re going to do it, go to your room and do it, go to your room.”
“… Is that so?”

Leticia smiles bashfully.

But, what can I say? Rather than sexual feelings, I feel like I’m longing for affection from the only family who takes care of me, so I don’t feel black feelings at all.

Just feeling sad.

Anyway, these days are these days. In line with the biological time of vampires who are active at night, Leticia is also active only in the middle of the night.

In the dark of the night, under the moonlight, they play with each other and share the warmth of each other, the only thing they can rely on in this mansion.

During the day…

Unlike Leticia, the parents, who are active during the day as the head couple of Cepes, and human maids to fill their vanity wander around.

‘… I feel nauseous.’

I gently stroked Leticia’s head as she leaned her head over my shoulder to calm her upset stomach.

“Huh…”

I can never be like this with Leticia in front of those bitches. What are you doing, if you have time to flirt with her parents who insist on raising her level…

Although the maids do not have any special feelings, they are all puppets who fall into the hands of the father and are manipulated.

The same thing to be careful about.

“Scarlett.”
“Huh? Why are you calling me, Sister?”

It must have been like that for a while, Leticia called me cautiously. What else do you want to worry about? When she turned her head and met her eyes, Leticia, whose trembling eyes had calmed down, opened her mouth.

“… Wouldn’t my father be satisfied with me now?”
“No.”
“… Okay?”
“Huh. No. So, don’t say anything strange to your father.”
“Yes. … When will my father acknowledge me? … It’s so hard.”

Leticia’s expression darkened. She suppressed the tingle in her chest for no reason, and ran her golden hair through her hair again.

It was half right and half wrong.

Even if it’s not a very passing score, at the level you’re at now, you’ll be able to understand it somehow.

‘No way, that’s right.’

However, when Leticia was presented like that. What will the Chepesu couple, who are slightly lacking in her, but are satisfied with her, really make her?

I don’t know, but it’s probably not a good look.

It must be a precious tool that should not be broken even if you think well.

You can’t hide Leticia’s level forever, so it will be discovered in the not-too-distant future. At least until then, she raised Leticia’s level as much as possible.

Her chances are slim, but once she becomes a Master, no matter how much she goes, she will easily get out of control.

Therefore.

“Do you believe me?”
“Huh… Trust me, of course.”

Write.

No matter how much I try to fill her lack of affection and desire for recognition as much as possible, in the end, I’m just a younger sister, and I can’t be her parent.

So, it was natural for Leticia to feel sad, and it was inevitable.

It hurts, too.

“Sister.”
“Huh…”
“I will make sure to make you happy. Therefore, … Don’t be too upset, just smile.”
“… Uh?”

What should I say?

Even though I knew at least that I was not enough, it still seemed frustrating to see me clinging to my trashy parents.

I’m a little bit sad, and that’s why.

Still, I’m ashamed to say these things.

At the same time, he knew how much Leticia’s wounds were festering inside.

So I wrapped up my embarrassing heart well and said it like a promise.

She seems to be making her promise to her, but actually making a promise to me.

A promise that has been sworn to be kept.

“… What is it, really?”

Leticia laughed lightly.

That was enough for now.

If it doesn’t work out, I’ll be able to seize the family head.
