Chapter 3 – A Flower That Bloomed Again II

...***...

The powers of the four special-blooded families, including the ‘Inoaden or Spring’ family, are only inherited by the heirs. Thus, they are the only ones who can manifest these abilities.

So far, everyone was convinced that it would be Ricardo, not me, who would awaken his power soon since he is Father’s successor.

...“You’re really horrible.”...

I stared at the astonished Ricardo and opened my mouth.

...“If you have common sense, shouldn’t you say something else first?”...

He didn’t seem to quickly understand what I meant.

The beauty that covered my surroundings and a fallen, white beast that seemed to have surrendered itself to its master.

And Ricardo, who sat in the midst of all these while looking at me with trembling eyes, finally breathed after a while.

Soon after that, his face turned white.

Ricardo’s eyes passed over me and fell on Gabrielle.

...“Brother…… sob.”...

Gabrielle’s doe eyes were filled with tears.

A glass-like teardrop fell the moment her eyes met Ricardo’s.

She looked so pitiful that if someone else saw her, they wouldn’t be able to bear not to comfort her.

Ricardo would have wiped her tears away at other times, but right now, he was frozen still as if time had stopped for him.

The fact that he abandoned me and only saved Gabrielle seems to have come as a big shock to him.

Ricardo’s actions just now were done unknowingly, so it showed what was truly more important to him in his heart.

Moreover, the creature that appeared just now was a request of the witless Gabrielle from Father.

The reason being that it was the trend among young people these days to raise ornamental beasts.

Besides that, Ricardo took the untamed beast out during tea time only because Gabrielle wanted to see it up close.

I didn’t know that the beast, who was taken out of its cage, would cut its leash off and come at us, but somehow, the blame falls on Gabrielle.

And with that incident just now, I almost lost my life the first time it happened.

Ricardo, who raised his head again, made an indescribable expression and wetted his lips several times.

But Ricardo couldn’t fool me easily.

I had no intention of waiting for what he had to say.

In my previous lives, I tried to hide my bitter feelings and forced myself to smile while saying, ‘It’s okay’.

There was also a time when I complained about how he’s too hard on me and that I can’t tolerate it anymore.

But now, I know it was all useless.

...“No thanks. I don’t want to hear your excuses.”...

After saying what I had in mind, I got up from my seat.

...“And besides, I’ve known you and your terrible personality for a long time now.”...

Ricardo’s face has, once again, become indescribable.

But that face was somehow different from the one he made a while ago.

Now, he seemed to have noticed that my attitude towards him has changed.

Gabrielle, who was sobbing beside him, looked at me with a puzzled expression.

...“Get out of my way. ”...

Then, I walked past the two human garbage.

The people, who noticed the commotion, were rushing out of the mansion and running towards us. Even with my back turned, I could feel two pairs of confused eyes following me.

Softly,

With every step I take, a light red rose would bloom and spread its fragrance. It was the same color as my current hair color.

The end of my long hair, on the other hand, was dyed with a clearer scarlet.

And that was how my eighth starting point came to pass.
