[Episode 96]
“Hey, that’s…!”
Acrea jumped up from her seat.
“Airin Hatchling version doll, which was a limited edition of 5 pieces released by ‘Heart’! I couldn’t buy it, so how does my mother have it?!”
“If you have a lot of experience, what can you not buy?”
“…yes?”
What is that?
My hatchling version? i didn’t see it either I hadn’t looked in the mirror back then.
But how does Acrea Safile know that? When I turned my head, she went white and quietly sat down.
Even so, her eyes were on Devane. To be precise, it was the doll Devane was holding.
‘…I want that one too.’
Even from a distance, the quality was amazing. Erno Etham smiled as if he had seen my eyes twinkle.
“Would you like to have it?”
“yes? can I have it?”
“Then don’t bring it right away.”
Then Dad pulled out his sword and tried to get up. I was startled and clung to his arm.
Anyway, that’s not it!
“You’re trying to steal Grandma’s…?”
“then?”
“Are you Grandma…?”
“Daughter. Would my father even kill my mother? That is immorality.”
He let out a hard laugh as if he were reading a Korean book.
By the way, I like my dad, but actually, your life is immoral. You damn dad. Excessive!
“It has two limbs, so you won’t need one.”
“What a shame, that yellow thing. granddaughter.”
“yes?”
“If you want to see my childhood photos, come anytime. I have collected them well by my very type and year.”
As soon as Dad finished talking, he drew out his sword and laughed heartily.
Contrary to the flower-like smile on his face, his spirit was fierce. Devane then took out her wand and laughed.
“Where are you going to cut your mother?”
“Don’t do it, Dad.”
I didn’t want to see a harmonious family collapse. Of course, Devane said something nasty, but since he also received an apology, it was already over.
“Don’t leave soon.”
It was when my father, who was already in a bad mood, stroked my hair and passed me by.
“If we fight… Neither Dad nor Grandma will see each other for two weeks.”
It was the moment I spoke as I puffed out my cheeks.
His sword, which he had already wielded, returned to its scabbard in a light circle, and Devanne’s staff was no longer in her hand.
“That doesn’t sound like much.”
“I raised my children the wrong way.”
She clicked her tongue and turned around.
“Baby, I’ll prepare delicious snacks for you next time, so be sure to come. I have pictures of all these guys.”
Her fingers ran across the round table. Even after seeing those stunned expressions, she left the meeting room leisurely.
“To think that it would remain as a photograph…”
“We’ll come up with countermeasures for this later, but for now… can we finish the Hatar case like this?”
When Charniel saw me, I nodded. First of all, it was important to create a fake product similar to Hatar.
Next…
‘The place where the criminal is often seen is a gambling hall…
‘
“Then let’s move on to the next item.”
Eh, did you have another agenda?
“I think the time has come to decide when to reveal about our head of household.”
Dad narrowed his eyes at Charniel’s words.
“Do I have to reveal it?”
“That way, there will be no needlessly attacking bastards. Because this head of household is a special case.”
Charniel smiled and said. Nelia Zardan opened her mouth.
“There are experts here, Leah. What do you think?”
“…uh? what?”
“What… didn’t you hear the conversation? Could it be that you were still thinking about the doll your mother had?”
“What! How hard was it to find! I waited in line for two days and couldn’t find one!”
No, is my doll that popular? But why are my dolls being sold outside…?
Is there anyone who can explain this embarrassing situation to me?
“Are you in a meeting…?”
Nelia Zardan’s iron fan slammed into the round table. Acrea Saffile finally shut up.
“Okay, I get it!”
Answering bluntly, Acrea looked at me blankly.
“I think it would be better to show your face two or three times at a banquet before revealing it.”
“At the banquet?”
“Yeah, first of all, there are a lot of people who question whether or not my nephew really exists… and more than anything, now that my nephew is gone.”
Acrea Safile said.
It seemed that the opinion was to take a few snow stamps and send them out.
“It would be best to attend the banquet at the imperial castle this time.”
“Yeah, that would be nice.”
Charniel Etam saw me. I nodded once again.
“Before that, I’m a bitch, so I need to work on some things. If the topic of family head comes up, the issue of lineage will definitely come up.”
“…we’ll talk about that later.”
“Yeah, it’s not a good idea to listen to it.”
The long meeting came to an end with the last conversation between Acrea Safile and Dad.
* * *
“This bright side is better than that!”
“What are you talking about? Don’t think that all girls will like it as long as it is flashy.”
“I am much more socially minded than Nelia! Is this bright one a hundred times better?”
“Oh, Leah. Are you ignoring the merchant’s eyes? This one will definitely hit the jackpot.”
“Don’t be ridiculous, that’s the fabric sold by your sister’s business!”
“Then isn’t that a dress designed by your boutique?”
Nelia and Acrea are fighting. Each holding a dress in both hands.
When I stared at Charniel, speechless and frozen, he looked at my younger sisters again with a puzzled expression, as if he felt my gaze.
“Umm, how about this chicken color? Wouldn’t that be a better fit for our youngest nephew?”
I saw the dress Charniel pointed to. And he just turned his head.
“Your brother is keeping his mouth shut.”
“I agree. If you still don’t have eyes to see… How the hell did you propose to your step-sister?”
Charniel Etam was shrunk by the attacks of Acrea Safile and Nelia Zardan.
I opened my mouth to see him stick out his lips and pull his knees in a corner.
“…”
“It’s been like that since the old days.”
Dad answered my questions as if he had eyes on the back of his head even as he looked at each of the drooping dresses.
‘You were completely overflowing with charisma at the meeting?’
It seemed that I was the only one who wasn’t happy in the friendly atmosphere.
‘…Why is it that the banquet hall is full of dresses when I buy a dress?’
I knew from watching dramas and news that chaebol’s money is beyond imagination, but this was more than I imagined.
“The head of the household… how about this…?”
“Uh… I’m scared…”
Looking at the black and red dress Hayel Etam brought, I shrank.
“…Oh yeah…?”
He turned around disappointedly, returned the dress, and started shopping again.
‘Why is everyone doing proxy shopping?’
It was just when I swallowed a laugh.
“No matter how much they are brothers, I can’t possibly look at these stupid people.”
After all, is the only normal person here at least Crunno Etam?
When I turned my head to the voice I heard next to me, Cruneau Etam handed me a dress and sat down next to me on the sofa as if nothing had happened.
“Just settle for this and be done with it.”
“….”
Uncle, when did you go shopping?
Why are you so bold again?
‘…What a beautiful thing.’
What is such a proper dress? How seriously are you shopping?
I looked far ahead.
Everyone was picking out clothes for me. Although they quarreled, the Etham family was a family that did not have bad relations with each other.
It was different from other family members.
Most families would fight to the death for title, money and honor, but this family I was in was different.
All of this is happening to me in reality, but it is not realistic, so I have no choice but to bring up a question that has been put off for a long time.
‘Why did this happen to me?’
Pajijik-
The moment I thought about it, I felt like sparks flew in my eyes.
As I involuntarily flinched, Cruneau Etham looked at me.
I laughed awkwardly, and he turned his gaze back to his brothers, frowning.
‘I just woke up after sleeping.’
Hugging my knees, I slowly shook my head.
I don’t want to think about anything. But I couldn’t hide that something was strange.
This is because I felt a sense of incongruity at first glance while being happy and joyful in this dream-like world where I had a family that I had always dreamed of, where everything was done according to my thoughts.
‘Did I sleep last…?’
As I questioned it, a headache came over me.
Gripping –
I raised my hand to the white sparks bouncing in my eyes and pressed my eyes tightly.
‘Didn’t you sleep…?’
As if it was the right answer, the sparks that had been bouncing off as if they were wrong disappeared and the headache that had been running through my head was gone.
‘It wasn’t…?’
Then why the hell am I here?
If you were fine, you shouldn’t have died. Then he shouldn’t have come to this world.
“Eirin? Are you okay?”
“Ah, Dad…
. ” If you are not feeling well, would you like to go back and rest?”
“No, no.”
A loving and caring father.
“Oh wow, you moved the real boutique! Give us the right to participate too!”
“Yes, it is not fair.”
“I heard you were picking out Eirin’s clothes! Heck heck me too heck… I’ll choose!”
The brother and cousin of your dreams.
“Leave the little ones.”
“Okay, go and study more.”
“It is good to learn theology as well.”
Even the delightful uncles and aunts.
How can everything be so perfect?
The moment I suddenly had a question,
I was
shocked.
I heard something go wrong.
rattle. rattle. rattle.
As if one of the gears was out of alignment, it made a continuous broken sound and left me with a piece of mysterious fragment.
