Chapter 5

                         Radiette’s request was rejected upon hearing.

Then the woman who threw a sweet face said sarcastically.

“Oh, my lord. Don’t tell me you are scared of your tail just like dogs?”

It was disrespectful beyond imagination, but he calmed his anger down.

And he took it into his own hands.

Was I scared?

“Right. One day, I’ll see.”

Belis.

The newborn baby had been covered in blood and her flesh was wrinkled.

However her eyes that were clearly open were distinct in the memory, and it was quite unpleasant.

Ha, my daughter.

Even the daughter he already had felt like someone else’s child, but suddenly another one dropped.

Holding the door handle tightly, he hesitated for a moment.

The first time they made eye contact, he had come to the mansion with a child in his arms, feeling strange.

There would be no child between them.

That was a promise made with the mother of that child, it was her who broke that promise and risked her life for her, and eventually…

She gave birth to that child.

In exchange for her life.

Squeak

The door opened.

Helios strengthened his eyes at the sound of stiffening breath.

He was expecting the child to burst into tears upon looking at his heartless face.

Thinking it would be better to get rid of it from the beginning.

What he didn’t expect was.

‘Ung!’

What faced him was not a crying child, but a hit on his forehead.

Ah!

***

Helios didn’t even realise what happened at first.

He looked at the bottle rolling on the floor and suddenly came to a realisation.

It had hit him.

You are saying a baby threw the bottle all the way over here? How?

When he looked at her, dumbfounded, he saw that the child who threw it opened his eyes in surprise.

The way she looked…

It seemed so pathetic that he forgot what he was just thinking about.

‘Are you scared?’

Tightly clenching her hands, and biting her lips, you could see that the baby was holding back tears.

Helios frowned, feeling at loss.

Then he bit his lips, thinking the child would be more scared at the sight.

It was crazy.

Her large, bright purple eyes looked so much like his.

It was no use trying to run away, like claiming she wasn’t his daughter.

“Uuung…”

The moment a sharp, sad cry bursted out of the child’s mouth, he felt like a terrible human being.

“What a cry…. It’s ugly.”

“Ung.”

The child moved her legs in excitement.

The figure seemed to twitch and try to back off.

Was he that scary?

His heart sank.

No, of course. It was no wonder that a child would burst into tears upon seeing a stranger.

It was obvious…

Helios slowly turned away. The child’s eyes seemed to follow behind him, but it became harder and harder to look at those eyes.

He tried killing her.

He really did.

Everytime he looked at her, his trembling lips felt heavy.

The fact that this girl was his daughter felt as heavy as a piece of iron.

The fact that she, and her daughter were so similar.

Soon the door closed.

[“I heard you had a sister, but you didn’t come with her”

“Who told you that I have a sister?”

“I heard your sister has a weak body, is that it?”

“Huh, I don’t have a sister.”

Helena’s expression was extremely venomous and confident.

It was Bella’s turn to panic now that she asked the question.

She was sure the Lavien family had two daughters.

Just as she was thinking in her head, someone approached them.

The bowed head felt painful.

‘Who is it?’

Since the crown prince was at the ball himself, it was a girl dressed in an overly modest dress.

What was more astonishing was what followed.

A snort was heard in front of her, and suddenly, Helena raised her hand.

Bella couldn’t stop her in time from acting, and soon a harsh sound rang out.

The woman stumbled and collapsed with a loud sound of falling following, she shuddered and wrapped her hand around her cheeks while seemingly holding back tears.

Bella couldn’t stand it.

“What the hell are you doing, Helena von Lavien!.”

She knew that people’s gazes were in their direction, but she couldn’t stand Helena’s rude behavior.

But her bright Purple eyes were laughing at Bella.

“Get out of the way, Bella von Ravi.”

“Miss, it’s not good to threaten innocent people like this…”

“What? Who. That bitch?”

“….huh?”

Helena twisted her red lips.

Her voice that came out was as sharp as a thorn.

“Who the hell did you call my sister, Bella Von Ravi, the filthy illegitimate child of the family?”

Looking at Bella’s trembling eyes Helena said devilishly.

It’s because of her that she got hit.

“You have put me to great shame, so that lowly thing should be punished instead.”

Bella realised.

That the girl who just got hit was Helena’s sister.]

“Abu ubeh. (this is the worst really)”

Throughout the story, Belis was always described in this way.

She never properly appeared throughout the story, but did once at the end.

The tears of Bella von Ravi, an angel-like heroine, the neck of Helena, that was cut off as her punishment of being a wicked woman, and the end of the Lavien family, that was destroyed by an angry crown prince.

The sky blue haired girl in the middle of the scene shed tears.

That was the last time.

It really was the last time.

Concealing my feeling of discomfort, I diligently sucked on the bottle.

It’s a secret that I worked hard on thanks to Radiette, who was cheering and clapping her hands like she found it cute.

“My lady, don’t you think you learn fast?”

“Dear Radiette, do you really like her lady so much?”

Huh?

I widened my eyes.

Because one of the maids that had always been silent had opened her mouth for the first time.

It was a slightly new sister with brown bobbed hair.

When I looked at her in surprise, the maid briefly flinched as soon as our eyes met.

Uh, you don’t like me?

I sullenly shrank back.

No matter how many times I had to go through these things, people would hate me and be uncomfortable…

“Hmm. It’s no use looking cute.”

Huh? What did you just say?

I looked at her with mouth wide open, wondering If I had heard her wrong, but her face was shaded red, and she began spitting out words like an arrow.

Fyi, I hadn’t said anything.

“My name is Lillian, but I am not asking for young Miss to remember me! I have been by your side since the beginning, and everyday you act like you only see Radiette ,I am not upset with you at all! Hm-hmph!”

When she opened her eyes the maids face suddenly turned red.

It was like a tomato that was on the verge of bursting.

She looked quite concerned.

Was she acting?

“…..haah, switch, switch! What the hell are you guys doing here!”

“!”

I felt really embarrassed.

Because Lilian, with her puting lips, had suddenly reached out and rubbed my feets.

W-w-what is this?

It didn’t hurt since she was touching me as if she was afraid something would break…

‘S-stop.’

I slipped my foot out of her hold.

It was because Lilian’s eyes, which had suddenly changed and shined, felt a little scary.

I blinked as I looked towards Radiette who was sitting by my side, hoping she would help me.

Radiette, this girl is weird.

That was when the other maid next to me suddenly talked.

“Dear Radiette,may I deal with the traitor who couldn’t keep her promise?”

“Cough!”

“This traitor.”

Just what the hell was going on here.

I gently laid the saliva-soaked side next to me, and started sucking on the other side that Radiette was holding.

Glug glug glug

When had she come here?

Aside from Radiette, I had three more personal maids.

Lilian who was always in charge of combing my hair, and bathing me with a cold blank face.

The other one who has long black hair and a drowsy look, another maid that somehow reminded me of a korean.

And lastly, the lady who always has a sleepy look with her orange hair.

Right now, Lilian was being strangled, and it was the black-haired maid strangling her like a ghost.

Then Radiette said with a quiet smile.

“Lilian, Hexa, stop it both of you.”

Unni. Just why are you so charismatic?

No wonder my heart is beating so fast….

‘Yeah! This familiar feeling!’

It’s just like the tension you feel when you watch a morning drama where you don’t know what might happen.

I looked at my unnies who were showing off their strange chemistry with sweaty hands… or no I didn’t.

I stared blankly at Radiette, who somehow seemed quite different than when she was with me.

She bended her eyes and smiled as she spoke to the maid who was twisting Lilian’s neck.

“Hexa. it’s noisy, so calm down.”

“Let me kill this abominable traitor who monopolized her feet alone. I think she has forgotten who suggested the plan in the first place. A traitor who has forgotten who insisted that monopoly was not allowed should be punished!”

“She’s watching.”

“Ah… Miss!”

Because I had lived a life full of acting, I knew that it was difficult to change so suddenly from a face full of life to a face that looked like it would burst into tears.

But Hexa was able to do it.

Even after watching the whole process, it was still so perfect and could fool anyone.

Hey, was this your true character?

“Oh, miss. You have seen it all.”

A thick drop of tear soaked the quilt.

“Ah, my lovely lady Belis. Please don’t see me as a scary person, uuu.”

Hexa, who was pleading with a very husky voice, bit her nails as if she couldn’t touch me.

What is it?

I wriggled my toes.

She seemed to have wanted to touch them, so why didn’t she?

Oh, was it because I wasn’t wearing socks?

But I was still a baby, so my feet were as smooth as cream bread.

You lunatic, the muttering Lilian seemed to have slipped out of Hexi’s arms, with her arms crossed.

I kept blinking my eyes, and sucking the bottle on the side.

I was dumbfounded.

‘Did I just hear her wrong?’

My calm and professional unnies couldn’t possibly be like this.

When I rolled my eyes and looked at Radiette, my angel unnie bent her eyes.

“Well then, I guess we don’t have to be tactful anymore…miss Belis, I am Perry… yaawn.”

The third maid who slowed down with a long yawn showed a sign that she was relaxed.

Her orange colored hair, which always complimented her eyes, which seemed to have always looked at me with hate ,was drooping like a baboon, as if she had just opened her eyes.

Ah, at that moment I realised.

These unnies, had they always hidden their inner desires….?
