I Need Someone to Stop My Older Brothers - Chapter 10

“It’s just a daily task.”

“I see.”

“······”

Lucas sobbed with his arms crossed when he saw me slouching vaguely.

“What did you hear it from?”

As expected, he was quick to notice. Lucas sighed with an embarrassed face as I nodded.

“I didn’t expect you to find out so soon.”

‘Theon told me.’

“He really has a big mouth.”

“You’re right.”

Lucas, who was giggling with Baratheon, soon returned with a serious face.

“You don’t have to worry. Everything just finds its place.”

“But isn’t it unfair? I’ve heard that you’ve been educated as a successor ever since you were adopted.”

“I’m going to lose my position because of the girl who suddenly showed up. I can’t believe you’re so calm, Definitely not an ordinary person.”

Ashinov platoon. I’m gritting my teeth because of this house.

But isn’t there a place for everyone to be greedy? In fact, even the people from Banggye covered it and tried to marry their daughter to Lucas somehow.

“Well, I’d rather be grateful. Actually, I didn’t want to get married that way to be the heir. Would you feel more comfortable saying this?”

“Theon did say that, but to be honest, I don’t like it.”

“I don’t really want to do the Grand Duke things. I don’t think it’s going to be fun. I just like to play and eat.”

I pretended to be an innocent child and then threw a bait at Lucas.

‘It looks better on Lucas than a kid like me who lacks a lot.’

‘You don’t know me?’

‘You can tell by a day that Lucas is a decent man.’

That was true. A sample of model students. That was the image of Lucas.

“You’re saying that on purpose for my own sake, aren’t you? You’re considerate, Dana.”

“What?”

Lucas said so, with meaningless emotion in his eyes.

Because I complimented you? Or being greedy for the position of heir. Because you don’t have a humble attitude? Whatever the reason is, the operation to win the favor seemed to work.

“Is it because you’re not confident? That’s fine. Me too, Theon and Cisse will work hard to help you.”

“Really?”

“Yes, I’ll praise you for coming to me without worrying about it alone. That’s good posture. Avoiding and hiding is not Ashinov’s way.”

Lucas stroked my head with a smile. I don’t think he’d show this kind of affection.

Family, I loved it.

‘I’ve never had a proper family.’

That doesn’t mean I’ll stop making Asinov go bankrupt.

‘This is a separate matter!’

I clenched my fist, trying to suppress the tickling heart of Lucas’s warm words.

“Don’t fall into the handsomeness of men, all of them. Dana!”

*****

After having a conversation with Lucas about his succession duty, I decided to get fit.

“There are humans who aim for me.”

Now that an orthodox successor has emerged, blood relatives in Banggye are not given a chance to succeed to the family. To get a chance?

“I have to kill the rightful successor of my immediate line.”

That means my life is in danger. It is clear that the attack on the wagon heading for the winter mansion was aimed at me. Lucas didn’t go that far, but it was obvious from the way things were going.

“If it were a real 13-year-old kid, I might have been an adult in my previous life.”

I didn’t mean to die easily. It’s the second life I’ve earned dear. I snorted inside and rummaged through thick books. It was a book about herbs. The efficacy and habitat were well explained along with the illustration, so it was easy to find the information I wanted.

What I was looking for was the ingredients that went into the medicine that my master made in my previous life. There was a mysterious power in Master’s medicine. After eating it, I felt like my body was full of strong energy. Of course, the spell that rose so quickly disappeared.

“Really? But I’m already here.”

“That’s right ·····.”

When I scratched my cheek in disgrace, I sat on the sofa with a languid face.

“Why did you want to see me?”
