[Episode 81]
“I! Acrea Sapphire! She is the older sister right above the youngest.”
Acrea Saffile, who had strode forward, extended her hand to me.
As if asking for a handshake, I hurriedly held out my hand, and she immediately grabbed my hand and shook it up and down.
“Ugh… It’s better than I thought.”
After holding my hand for a long time, she mumbled something, and finally returned to her seat with Erno Etam’s fierce gaze.
“How did that crazy guy keep his eyes open?”
“Your brain is still empty.”
“Call me sister properly!”
“Because I have a personality that makes me hives when I see something stupid.”
Erno Etham replied with a friendly face as always.
Acrea Safail pointed and glared at Erno Etam, then gnashed her teeth and lowered her hand.
“Uh ah hello…. The head of the family. I’m Hayel Etham…. I’m the second son and the third…”
“Hello…”
He was a very fragile looking person. In his arms, he was holding a book with a dark red leather cover.
Unlike the others, he had a slender body and fair skin. In contrast, there were dark circles under the eyes. The light blue eyes and black hair suited her very well.
‘That person is older than my father…?’
There is no other time like this for a while.
As I was staring at him, he must have been embarrassed, so he lowered his head and tried to curl himself into a ball.
Nelia Zardan, who was watching, laughed as she looked at it curiously.
“Arthur, he is the most evil among us. Once you get pissed off, you won’t see anything. The one who beat up your biological father before…”
“Nelia.”
Erno Etam interrupted Nelia Zardan. Nelia snorted.
“Ah, not the sheep behind you, but that bastard.”
Erno Etam quietly covered my ears with the palm of his hand.
Then he seemed to be talking about something. Tendons stood out on the back of Nelia’s hand as her eyes widened.
He seemed to be saying something with a very angry face, but I couldn’t hear him at all.
‘I don’t think I blocked my ears that hard…’
Did he use magic?
‘curious.’
I’m curious, but I can’t hear you.
As I grunted, my ears soon pierced and the hand that covered them moved away.
“Oh really…”
Nelia Zardan swallowed a laugh.
“Anyway, if he gets pissed off, he’ll just destroy a couple of stores, so don’t deal with him.”
“It’s my sister…!”
Hayel Etam shook his head with a tearful face.
The crying face is so cute. It felt like I was going to stomp my feet.
“Well, the self-introduction is almost over… Oh, haven’t you done it yet? Cruneau.”
Cruneau?
When I raised my head at the familiar name, the man who had been sitting quietly to one side raised his head.
He was a man with dark, curly black hair and dark blue eyes.
To be precise, it was close to a very dark blue, as if it had reached the deep sea.
If other people’s eyes were lively, his gaze was dull and lifeless, like that of a dead man.
It was a truly indifferent gaze.
The man who seemed to look good in jet black was wearing a white clergyman’s attire.
Books that look like bibles are neatly placed on the desk.
“…It’s Chrono Etam.”
He opened his mouth slowly, reluctantly. His voice was as dry as grains of sand rolling in the desert.
Does stepping on a brittle leaf give that dry feeling?
‘That person hates me.’
Others may not have noticed, but I do. I could see his contempt for me in his gaze.
“Oh, you can leave that gloomy child out. It’s been that way ever since I was a teenager.”
“Ah…”
“I entered the temple without getting married, and now I am a cardinal. Maybe I was forced to come because I didn’t want to come to this meeting. Etam’s orders are absolute.”
is that so?
When I widened my eyes, Charniel Etam laughed heartily. Beside him lay a large, terrifyingly well-forged greatsword.
“Yes, it’s not like they summoned us because there was nothing to do… After all, is the agenda about the new head of the family?”
“Yes, these. How is it that no one comes to say hello to father? If you really fail in farming your children…”
“If I tell my mother that, she will probably come running with an axe.”
Charniel said with a smile. Then Mirel Etam raised his eyes fiercely and turned his head away.
“okay. I heard the rumors too, but is it true that the new head of the family is a dragon?”
“okay.”
“I can’t believe it. The first one ate dragon blood, so dragon blood flowed into the Etam family, but dragons were never actually born, right?”
“It’s more strange to me that the dragon isn’t a direct descendant, but that I was born from that damn bloodline.”
that’s interesting to me too
As I nodded, they looked at me with curious eyes.
“Can baby turn into a dragon?”
Nelia asked.
I nodded. If you wished, you could go back to normal.
“Did you do a paternity test?”
“yet.”
Every time I tried to do it, I collapsed and passed out, and this time I even slept for a long time, so I couldn’t really do anything.
“Are you a bitch?”
“Looks like someone is hiding it. The traces were cut off and then disappeared.”
“That is embarrassing.”
Charniel rubbed his chin.
“So that is. We have to protect the young patriarch who has awakened here, right?”
“okay.”
“Even if you are a collateral, you can’t have them receive protection without checking whether they are blood relatives.”
Everyone’s gaze reached him at the dry voice.
It was Crono Etam.
“I think the priority is to catch him and do a paternity test first.”
“…Does my third brother not like something?”
Erno Etham’s eyes twitched. The feeling of being very uncomfortable was evident.
“I was just stating a theory.”
“When did you ever need an argument in front of me?”
“I’m not wrong in what I said, Charniel.”
“That’s right.”
Charniel agreed with Chuno’s words. The others nodded slowly.
“Because I also need a basis to move the privates.”
His thick fingers swept slowly across the table.
“But the bastard is missing, so we can’t check right away. Can you find it, Hiel?”
Charniel asked. Hiel, who had her neck tightly closed, looked at her eyes and nodded.
“I’ll try.”
“Is this enough right now, Cruneau?”
Chuno Etam nodded with a dry face. Charniel turned his gaze to me.
“Well, it’s the first time I’ve served a young head of a dragon… but please take good care of me.”
Charniel smiled and held out his hand. When I held out my hand, my body suddenly pulled back.
“Eirin, you can’t touch dirty things like that.”
I was flustered and looked at Charniel and Dad, then finally put down my outstretched hand and smiled.
Dad said don’t do it, don’t do it.
“…Am I dirty?”
“Well, if you look at it, it’s not a prize that kids will like.”
“You talk too much. My kids like me.”
“That’s right, it’s because they’ve gotten used to their brother’s rough face, right?”
Acrea Safile said. Charniel, who had pursed his lips, frowned.
“i look forward to.”
I nodded my head.
Then, the eyes that had been fighting and bickering turned to me at the same time. They looked at each other, smiled and nodded.
“Don’t ruin the family.”
“yes.”
I don’t know how I can do that though.
“And you might as well keep an eye out for the people standing around here. Because they are vassals and collaterals who help us the closest.”
At Charniel’s words, I slowly looked around.
Aside from those sitting at the round table, there were many people who came to see the head family.
There were people who were familiar with it and people who were not. I slowly took in the sight of the people lined up around the round table.
I had no clue who it was, though.
‘I’m guessing he’s just asking me to put my eyes on him.’
It really seemed like I had become the head of the household.
In an instant, like a pit over a fence.
‘At this point, should I talk about ‘Hatar’?’
It is not easy to gather such a number of people.
“I think I’ll be able to break it soon, but how about it? Because I plan to spend time with my children after a long time.”
“Oh, I also made a reservation for the dressing room.”
“I am also a bookstore…”
Charniel, Acrea, and Highel continued to speak.
It looked like the place would be sold out soon. After thinking about it, I raised my hand slightly.
“Hey…”
The people who were about to get up stopped moving at my call and turned their heads.
