I Shall Master This Family's

Chapter 25

"No, I won't be killed."

I said firmly without hesitation.

"Are you not going? But ......"

Perez's gaze instinctively pointed to the side of the Empress's Palace.

No matter how small he is, he probably knows that.

It was the Empress who killed her mother, took everything she should have, and slowly wanted to kill her.

Perez looked at me in amazement for a moment, then shook his head again.

"No. The people who helped me are all dead, injured, or gone. So you left too. You shouldn't be here."

This time I was really upset.

Shouldn't you hold on to anyone and ask for help, and say 'please save me'?

I opened the bag a little rough with a confused feeling.

And I took out the bottle I brought before.

I felt those red eyes staring at me up close.

"Don't worry. They can't touch me."

"Why?"

"Because ... ."

I felt angry and harsh words would come out, but I was still in front of a child, so I tried my best to clear my mind.

"Because my grandfather is a hundred times stronger than the one who bullied you."

"Grandfather?"

"Hm!"

"I envy you ... ."

Perez said, flicking his little finger.

I wondered if I could tell grandfather to a child who was alone, but I said, patting the Second Prince's shoulder more casually.

"And you, I'll help you. So don't worry about me, drink this."

Immediately, I hurriedly poured as much medicine as Estira told me on the bottle cap.

Since the concentrate is thick, I should have drunk it in water to reduce its bitter taste, but now this is the best I can do.

Perez glanced at the small lid I had taken out, and gently picked it up and drank it.

"Hey, Perez."

"Why?"

It was clear that it was enough to make my entire body tremble, but he did not frown even once.

"You shouldn't eat whatever others give you. Why are you okay? why did you accept it without hesitation?"

I was very worried about the attitude of the Second Prince, who was not even wary.

I know Perez's past, present, and future, so even though I met him for the first time today, I feel like I've known him for a long time.

The Second Prince saw me for the first time today.

Perez tilted his head and replied.

"I'm already dying. Even if you give me poison, it doesn't change much."

Ah, this guy really knows.

I wonder if she did not know that the Empress poisoned the food she ate.

I really want you to not know.

"And you said you helped me."

In my hand, clasped tightly by Perez's words, the bundle of soft cloth in my handbag twisted.

"Because there haven't been many people offering me help so far. But it doesn't matter if it's not like that....hum!"

I pushed a piece of candy into the mouth of the man who was trying to say dark words.

It was carried in a bag along with the bitter medicine.

"I don't want to hear that, little kids have to eat candy."

I'd rather my cousin Belsach or Astalliu do something bad.

Perez said to me, and snorted.

"You're a kid too."

First of all, even if a child is right.

"I'm 11 years old. How old are you?"

"I'm eight years old."

"You're a kid. You eat candy."

But I said, reaching out to the Second Prince with my handbag.

"Although you are older, it's okay because I have more of you."

The cheeks of the person biting the candy were convex.

"I don't have much time today, so I'll tell you. From now on, take this medicine twice a day every day.You can drink as much as I give you little by little."

Perez secretly received the medicine and the handbag I gave him.

"It will detoxify the toxins and keep your body healthy again."

"Is this medicine?"

The Second Prince looked into the golden sparkling liquid and asked me.

"I, can I live?"

I'm not sure if my voice will be okay.I'm going to cry.

"Mom told me to live. He told me to survive. It's very hard."

Perez is exhausted.

Even a body too thin for a small child shivered in the wind.

I felt I should have comforted her, but I said in a subtle tone on purpose.

"I have something to worry about. Of course, you have to overcome everything and survive. Your mother said that, and then you can do that."

"....Really true?"

"Yes, that's right."

The Second Prince remained silent for a moment.

Then suddenly asked me.

"What about you? Do you want me to live? Do you think I can live?"

"Yes, I wish you could live. No, I think you should live."

Because you are the one who will flash more than anyone else.

Although now it was shabby like a caterpillar that had to hide in the damp ground.

When the time comes, you will fly higher than anyone and become the prince of this empire, and you will finally be able to take revenge.

"I have to go now. There are a few things you should keep until the next meeting."

I got up and said, sweeping the dirt off my ass.

"Once again, no matter how much medicine you take, it's better not to eat toxic foods, but if you do, you may get noticed. So, eat a little."

I'm so offended.

Telling the child to eat food even if he knows it contains poison.

But she had to make the Empress believe that her plan worked.

That way, he won't do anything else, so he can't stop me from trying to get rid of Perez.

"And do you have a waiter who brings you rice?"

The Second Prince nodded.

"okay."

"And.... Do you have a wooden sword?"

To my question, Perez brought a wooden sword that had been placed far away and showed it to me.

"My nanny gave it to me on my last birthday."

Whether it was precious enough, the longing spread through his red eyes.

"Yes. There is no proper teacher, but you must practice every day with a wooden sword."

The Second Prince went to the academy and did an incredible job by graduating from the senior level with just the swordsmanship he had learned lately.

So, if he keeps practicing from now on ....

Whoo.

Whoo.

"Like this?"

Hearing my words, Perez grabbed the wooden sword and swung it several times.

However, his voice was not scary.

I have no talent in swordsmanship, but does it sound like it is from a normal eleven-year-old boy swinging randomly?

That too from a sick child? That was also a wooden sword?

Unlike me, who was confused, Perez swung his sword a few more times with an expressionless face.1

Whoo-wow.

Whirilick.

It didn't take much effort and it seemed like he was playing with the sword.

Every time the dull wooden sword cut through the air, a heavy throbbing sound rang out.

I know that I'm like a stranger when it comes to swords.

Something stronger than human strength moved with the sword he was holding casually.

"It's not a lie"

An eleven-year-old boy who had never taken proper swordsmanship classes and had been poisoned possessed this ability.

I know that ever since the Second Prince entered the Imperial academy beyond the reach of the Empress, he has grown past the limit like a fish in water.

Ever since he was young, he had no idea that he had this kind of monster-like ability.

I thought he was just a kid, but he's so great!

"Where have you studied swordsmanship before?"

I asked for confirmation because I didn't know.

"Never."

"Then, did you have another wooden sword before you got this?"

"No."

Right.

I wonder if I should keep asking. Perez tilted his head.

"Am I wrong? Aren't you supposed to do this?"

Since there was no object of comparison, it seemed that he was not even aware of his abilities.

I thought for a moment and answered.

"No. Not bad. I think you can do well if you keep practicing!"

I wonder if I should tell the truth.

he seems to have an amazing talent.

But then, Perez may have a different choice than his last life.

I mean, that one word of mine could stimulate an overwhelming sense of revenge that would curl up somewhere on that guy.

He replied calmly, saying he knew what I was saying.

"Tia! Where's you!"

At that moment, I heard my father's voice calling me.

Ohright. I have to get back quickly.

"Then I'm gone. See you soon."

"Huh."

Perez's shoulders drooped as if he didn't want to be left alone anymore.

"...Hey, I'll try to see you again soon. In the meantime, take good care of my medicine and do well what I said before."

Those dark red eyes were looking at me.

I have come to establish trust first in the Second Prince, who will become the crown prince in the future, to give him what he needs.

I felt like I had become the guardian of a sleeping child.

However, even after seeing the terrifying looks of the Second Prince, I cannot dispose of the medicine in moderation.

"I'm leaving. See you soon."

"......Good bye."

Well, even if I leave it alone, he is the man who became the crown prince himself.

Isn't it a great kindness to help keep the body from getting sick when he was young?

When I turned around leaving Perez alone in the woods, I really thought so.

The human side does not know what kind of change this kind of aid will bring, which begins with sincerity.

Every word I say will be engraved on his head.

What does my outstretched hand mean to Perez?

I really didn't expect anything.

* * *

I ran out of the grass and called my father.

"Dad!"

"That!"

The surprised-faced father ran towards me.

"Where are you going. Any injuries?"

Fortunately, father did not seem too surprised because my time disappeared short, but the eyes that saw me were still full of worry.

"Did you find it?"

The two knights who were looking for me on the other side came here.

"Despite being inside the Imperial Palace, but you should not disappear like that. You're making me worry."

"I'm sorry"

"Why did you suddenly get off the train?"

"That's her. Those uncles told me to come down. So I had to go down..."

Hearing my words, the knights gasped.

"So I went down, but I saw a cute squirrel there, so I followed."

It was the moment when the Second Prince became a 'cute squirrel' in such a short time.+

When father saw me, he sighed and laughed frankly as if he could not help it.

"Sorry......."

They only followed orders as the two knights intelligently scratched their heads and spoke.

"What are you apologizing for?"

A beautiful woman smiled as she looked at us with a group of servants as if they were taking a leisurely walk. It was Rabini Angelas Durelli, Queen Consort of Lambrew Kingdom.
