Chapter 60

Chapter 60

Chapter 60. I was standing on a familiar street.

Pitch black without even one star, but the old streetlight only blinked and didn't turn on properly.

The high stairs that have to walk up for a long time and the couple fighting sound heard when turning the corner were familiar.‘Home’ going path.

I instinctively moved steps.

Arrived at the old rooftop room, and found the key in the pocket and opened the door.

Holding the handle, opening the door the dark and narrow room inside was visible.

“I'm back.”

Habitually spat but no returning words.

I as always turned on the television first.

The quiet house inside was soon filled with the noise coming from the television.

And cleaned the dishes not cleaned in the morning, and ran the washing machine.

Then the belly was hungry.

“Ah, have to eat.”

Raised the body, but didn't want to eat anything.

When in the Valfruga castle always ate with Lus.

Even separated from Lus there were Blackie or maids so never ate alone.

Suddenly unbearable loneliness rushed in.

Thinking this won't do turned on the cell phone, but no one to contact.

Seeing on the television when lonely call family, but I had no family to call.

Abandoned by parents from birth, and adopted once but abandoned again.

If a person who can say family the orphanage director level.

Searching the cell phone's phone book for a long time I buried my head between the knees.

“Dislike... Send me back...”

Then suddenly someone knocked our house door tok tok.

I startled and lifted my head, and put strength in the hand holding the cell phone.‘No one to come to our house who?’ In the head from the murder incident seen on the news a while ago starting all sorts of thoughts arose.

When I had no reaction, the other party beyond the door knocked the door tok tok again.

“...

Who is it?”

My voice was a mess tense even hearing myself.

“Older sister, it's me.”

A sweet and strange voice to the extent the strength of the finger joints loosens.

If there's a nine-tailed fox luring people would it be such a voice.

I opened the door without knowing bewitched by the voice.

The first visible was the man's wide chest.

Following above that the firm shoulders, passing the slender neck, the red lips curved seductively and whispered.

“Came to pick up, older sister.”* * *“Older sister?”

I lay on the carriage chair, and blinked.

And met eyes with Lus tilting his head looking down at me.

“Somewhere hurt? Carriage motion sickness?”

Lus put his hand on my forehead and asked worriedly.

I slowly looked around.

Inside the carriage.

“...

Was a dream?”

“What?”

“Ah, no. Dreamed a strange dream.”

Really fortunate it was a dream.

Still the heart beat anxiously.

When I reached out my arm, Lus obediently came into my arms.

With the warmth filling the arms only then reassured.

Lus patted my back and asked.

“What kind of dream was it?”

“...

A dream of returning to the old house.”

“If the old house the orphanage older sister was in?”

A similar dream.

At the end an unknown man came out though.

Come to think of it remember the man was enormously handsome but the face doesn't come to mind.

“Were you very surprised?”

“...”

“Not surprised but scared.”

I didn't say anything, but Lus accurately noticed my heart.

“...

Dislike alone.”

Whether the dream was too realistic.

The body seemed still unable to escape the memory of that time.

“No matter older sister being alone won't happen so reassure. Wherever older sister goes I'll find.”

I laughed small and asked.

“Even if another world?”

“If older sister is in that world.”

Lifting the head, Lus's red eyes were looking straight at me.

Lus tidied my messy hair and asked.

“Calmed now?”

“...

Yeah.”

Showing such an appearance to Lus.

Coming to senses now embarrassed and wanted to cover the face.

“Don't do that and greet me. Taught when coming home greet.”

Clearly I seemed to have said that to Lus...

I dyed the face bright red and said.

“...

I'm back.”

Lus smiled brightly and answered.

“Welcome, older sister.”

And 5 years of time passed.* * *As the year changed I finally became twenty years old.

The hair loss medicine sales are smooth today too and money is piling up in the vault.

The academy built in the Valfruga ducal territory finally discharged the first graduates a few days ago.

Among them, children with will to learn were decided to go to advanced academy with the family supporting scholarships.

The secret organization also advanced a lot to other regions beyond the north, and the military power also grew steadily now if the words of a completely collapsed ducal house come out to the level of having to doubt that person's common sense the family stood tall.

However, there was one problem.

“The height didn't grow even one!”

When I struck the desk bang with my fist, Jacques beyond the communication orb giggled.

The face laughing with the arm hanging on one leg seemed a bit handsome delinquent.

“After measuring last year didn't grow even one! How can this be?”

“Well you are twenty now. The age to grow passed.”

“You grew again.”

I glared at Jacques with a resentful face.

That guy even when first seeing the height was tall, and befitting the sub male lead grew terrifyingly in 5 years.

If I stand beside Jacques now wouldn't it be hard to even come under that guy's chin?

“I'm a man.”

“Unfair!”

I also if possible wanted to grow to 170 centimeters.

“By the way you not coming to the south this year either?”

“Why would I?”

When Jacques is displeased as always avoided my gaze and grumbled.

“Just, what. Our father also likes you.”

“Contacted the Summerhild Duke with the communication orb a week ago.”

“Mother also wants to see...”

“Greeted the Duchess with the communication orb 3 days ago too.”

“...

You really communicated with everyone except me? Why only me no memory of receiving your communication?”

“...”

Because it was fact I closed my mouth and exercised the right to remain silent.

“You really...!”

Trying hard to calm Jacques spitting fire from the mouth and ending the communication and coming out, Lus was standing.

“Older sister.”

“Startled.”

Lus who became fifteen already the height exceeded 170.

Not only the height large, the appearance also upgraded day by day these days if suddenly facing without mental preparation the heart overloads.‘If words of pretty or handsome might know, now can't even say cute carelessly. But somehow such words are harder to say than cute.’ Lus folded the eye area prettily and asked.

“Who did you communicate with?”

“With Jacques.”

“Jacques Summerhild? Older sister secretly communicates frequently with that guy.”

“Yeah, if talking there's fun in teasing.”

“Fun in teasing? Where?”

Lus made a face of completely unable to understand.

“If teasing the voice also grows, and the ear tips redden.”

Thinking of Jacques's face when teased laughter came again.

Unable to even meet eyes properly calming the anger and the ear tips turning red.

“That's a bit cute.”

Lus slightly pouted his lips, and asked in a voice fluttering like a spring breeze.

“Then me?”

“Yes?”

Lus bent his waist and met eyes with me.

Blankly looking at the face that approached in an instant, Lus slightly looked up at me and asked.

“Am I not cute?”

“Uh, uh...?”

Without knowing the fist clenched tightly.

Really wanted to say the cutest in the world, but if opening the mouth now seemed would scream without knowing.

“You're also cute...”

“Really?”

The smiling face resembled when young exactly, but more dangerous than when young.

At that time just cute and pretty, but Lus who grew a lot these days and became a beautiful boy seemed became something lacking with just the words cute and pretty.

Lus folded the eye area into a half-moon prettily and said.

“Fortunate.”

“Wh-what?”

“I still wanted to receive prettiness from older sister.”

If in the past around now would have stroked the head roughly saying Lus is the prettiest in the world.

Pondering whether to raise the hand or not then stopped, Lus luckily noticed and held my hand and placed on his head.

“Tried to stroke, right?”

“How did you know?”

“If about older sister I know all.”

I stroked Lus's soft hair.

Not even knowing what Lus is thinking at that time.* * *The room inside with thick curtains drawn was dark.

Logan looked around the people sitting at the long table.

Felia's dedicated maid, Bella.

The head of the secret organization Butcher.

Butler Treon.

Here even the spirit beast Felia controls.

The core figures of the Valfruga ducal house excluding Felia.

The one who summoned them was exactly the owner of the Valfruga ducal house, Lucius Valfruga.‘What on earth trying to talk gathering like this.’ Trying to do territorial war?

Or finally trying to seize the power Felia held?‘The second is a thought that doesn't make sense.’ Rolling in the Valfruga ducal house for 5 years, Logan also realized many things.‘Even now anxious not being able to put even one more in that guy's hand, what seizure.’ Especially that guy Lucius was a guy who if Felia hopes would even stamp a slave seal on the back and come.‘No, if that guy rather might hope becoming a slave and always sticking beside.’ A thought that arose without knowing, but the possibility being quite there was scarier.

When Logan's anxiety reached the extreme, finally Lucius revealed his appearance.

“Everyone gathered.”

Lucius who became fifteen this year had a lofty and cool beauty like the moon.‘Thought a not ordinary face from young, but that is really...’ Curious to the extent of what it would be when becoming an adult later and that appearance reaches the peak.

Lucius scanned the audience and opened his mouth.

“The reason said gather today is nothing else.”

Logan looked at Lucius with a tense face.

“Called to discuss how to seduce older sister.”
