Chapter 101: The Neglected Dummy

"You have to pay! no need to talk too much!" I got upset and pulled the gun and thrust it towards Lavender.

But suddenly the sword shifted and stuck to Lavender's side without hurting him.

Lavender, who had closed her eyes, slowly looked at me with a curious look.

"Why don't you kill me,"

I fell silent and glanced at Duke Claoudie.

It seems he's the one who made me not kill him.

Father was panicked to see his two children fighting in front of him.

"I won't let my two daughters fight, after all Lavender did it on my orders so the one who deserves to be killed is me" the father said, leaving me instantly speechless.

"Dad..," Lirih Lavender sighed slightly, as she cried.

"I promise to give you love, right? Although I lied before but now I am not worthy to do so," replied Duke Claoudie approaching at me.

"You can kill me," said the father, holding the sword that had been stuck on the ground.

"A-dad," I murmured limp.

He held the sharp sword so hard that it made his hand filled with blood, while the hilt was directed towards me to immediately hold it.

"I'd like to see your mother soon, anyway,"

"No dad" I said slowly.

I quickly moved his collar and released his hand that tightly grasped the sword.

"Don't hurt yourself" I said, hugging her.

"Mommy will hate me" I said.

Lavender who was still lying limp could only cover her face which was also crying.

"When I miss my mother so much, the reason I came here was for the sake of meeting her," he said in a trembling tone.

I turned superior to look at Lavender then stretched out my hand so that she would immediately get up and join me.

"Leca..," said Lavender looking at me full of haru.

Finally, with a heavy heart, I invited Lavender to join me and my father and we cried with each other while hugging.

"Prince Shun, forgive me for not being able to kill those who have eliminated you, because they are my family" I regretted in my heart.

Even so, your presence makes me feel alive even though I previously lived in the middle of darkness. You gave me light to keep getting up. Remembering your kindness allows me to forgive them. But do you forgive him too?.

Unknowingly that day we ignored someone who was dying from blood loss. Fortunately, NekoShun came to Dummy's rescue.

"You've been neglected again miaw~" NekoShun told the still-collapsed Dummy.

NekoShun immediately took him to a safe place in the mansion and treated him.

"Truly, you must be very tormented to have wounds like this but you can't die miaw~" NekoShun said as he stared in concern at Dummy.

"Ahh if I were human I would definitely like you," NekoShun said then took off Dummy's clothes and began to clean the wound.

I turned my eyes all over, this time it was time for me to go home but I didn't even see Dummy's body and it made me worry about her.

"Dad, have you seen Dummy?" I asked Duke Claoudie.

"I don't know and don't want to know" replied my father who was still upset.

"Dad, he's innocent, you know" I said as I pinched my father's arm.

"Alright I've forgotten that incident, maybe he has been brought by the army of the black sect, but believe me they are not dangerous because I rule them now, in contrast to the attack that used to be,"

"Did you do something to the sect leader?" Ask wonder.

"Well, I just kind of bully him a little bit, but they've made me their new leader instead.

Hearing that I chuckled, well, naturally, as long as Duke Claoudie ruled everything seemed to get better. Even though his kindness was very horror.

"I'll find Dummy first before you go home, '" I said as I ran to leave her.

I entered the antique mansion, now everything looks lonely and messy, all the servants have also been evacuated or even some have run away when the black sect troops just came.

"Dummy, NekoShun!" Call me to those who suddenly disappear.

"I'm here miaw~" said NekoShun who came towards me with his cat form.

"Where's Dummy?" askaku.

"He's in a miaw~ coma"

"I want to see him" said I, who also felt guilty.

After NekoShun rattled me to Dummy's room she instantly changed her appearance to a human form complete with her ears and tail.

"Maybe he'll wake up after a few months of miaw~"

I bit my lower lip because I saw the wounds on his body. How could he not die after being injured like this? He would be in a lot of pain to hold it.

"I want you to stay with us" I told NekoShun.

NekoShun shook her head quickly, "If you take me into your house then it will bring misfortune to your family, because I was born with a curse to my master miaw~"

Hearing that instantly stunned me.

"Mr Dummy has no problem staying with me because he is a saint, no matter what he is, he can handle it well miaw~" NekoShun said slowly, he heard for a moment that he was very sad because his employer was injured.

"Keep you and Dummy want to live where? This place has been destroyed," I told him while staring at the ruins of the building which had been partially damaged even though there were rooms that were still intact.

"We will stay here because this is a precious place for him, in this house he has beautiful memories with Miss Claire so he does not want to leave forever from this place miaw~"

I sighed then patted NekoShun on the shoulder.

"Alright, I will send people to help you, and renovate this mansion, besides that I will also definitely come back," I said with a smile.

NekoShun looked at me with a teary look.

"Just marry my master miaw~" he said as he hugged me.

"Sorry I can't,"

"Why? Though the man has already left you first miaw?"

"Because to me he is alive," I replied and let go of NekoShun's embrace.

"He's still alive here" I said, pointing to where my heart was.

NekoShun was surprised then smiled slightly.

"Haa yaudah, it's up to you to miaw," he said resignedly to persuade me.

After that I say goodbye to them while leaving a hairpin given by Prince Shun that I slip on Dummy's hair. I hope that happiness and tranquility will always be by his side from this moment onwards.

"Are you okay giving that miaw?" ask NekoShun.

I shook my head quickly with a smile, "It's okay."

After that we went and went back to the palace, maybe if we were honest with the people they would hate my family because from that we made up a lie to protect our family.

Because sometimes there's a secret that's better kept a secret than it's revealed because I don't want them to know it's going to cause new problems.
