Milaine The Heir Girl
Poison at Dinner

Luke Marchen, he's the sole heir of the Marchen Group. However, due to both of his parents' deaths, his family's company is now bankrupt. Then Conrad sponsored Luke because he had a fighting talent that could be honed. Luke is currently at the Lysander residence. It used to be very close to Milaine and always followed Milaine everywhere.

Since Milaine was placed in a mental hospital, Luke has never seen Milaine again. In fact, the people from this residence had also never met Milaine because Conrad had forbidden to see his daughter. For five years, Luke spent training himself to become stronger in order to protect Milaine from the attacks of other heirs.

“Of course I still remember you. There's no way I'm forgetting the kid who always follows me,” Milaine said.

“Thank God that you still remember me.”

Luke's smile was broken, it could not be denied that Luke was very handsome. Then suddenly Milaine's hand touched Luke's chest. Slowly the movement of his hands moved to Luke's arms and palms.

Luke looked surprised, his whole body frozen. Luke's face blushed perfectly, he blushed with embarrassment due to Milaine's behavior.

“A-What do you do, Miss?” The wound looked nervous and nervous.

“It looks like you're training really hard. Your body is now much more stocky and also I like it.”

Luke's heart seemed to explode that very second. Plus Milaine showed a dazzling smile. Luke's heart now feels like it's being shot by the love arrow from the girl he's long been craving for. However, Luke quickly corrected his expression so as not to make Milaine annoyed.

“I did it to protect you. Anyway I promised I'd be your protective sword,” said Luke turning his gaze the other way.

“Thank you for keeping your promise. I look forward to the results of your hard work. Can you just duck a little?” pinta Milaine's.

“Cublished? Alright.”

Luke lowered his body slightly, Milaine stroked the top of Luke's head gently. This has become something that Milaine used to do.

“You grew up to be a much taller man than me. Whereas in the past you didn't have to bow your head like this. Thank you for protecting Nigel secretly when I was not in this residence,” Milaine said.

“You don't need to thank me because you're my savior. What I did was just a form of my return, Miss.”

Luke clasped Milaine's hand that rubbed his head. He could tell that Milaine had not been silent for five years either. There were many scars on Milaine's palm. Even so, his hands never lost their warmth.

“From now on, allow me to stay always by your side. I'm really happy to see you back at this residence,” he continued.

“Yes, please help, Luke,” Milaine said with a cheerful smile.

The next day, Milaine is invited to a family dinner. Lysander's family usually have dinner together on Sunday night. In the dining room, everyone gathered at a very long table. There are various types of food there, it's just that the atmosphere of the dining room was a little different when Milaine came.

“It turns out you still have face to join in the family dinner,” Deon said – third son, son of Mayra.

“Do not do that. Crazy people also need to eat because only tonight he can eat good here.”

“Ya, right it. The pavilion where he lived did not provide luxury food.”

The twins Sherwin and Steiner share Deon's innuendo. They were both the fifth and sixth sons born from Deysi's womb. While Arthyn, the first son and son of Lisbeth just silently watched his sisters laugh at Milaine. For the second and fourth sons, it was the place belonging to Milaine's brother who died a few years ago.

As the seventh child as well as his only daughter, it had become a daily meal for the girl to hear her brother ridicule her. Moreover, they often underestimate that a woman will not be able to win this heiress fight. Milaine ignored all kinds of ridicule. He continued to walk straight ahead while closing his ears so as not to hear their voices.

“What did you say?”

Sherwin, Steiner, and Deon's facial expressions changed. The sound of their laughter stopped as they felt struck by Milaine's words.

“Are you deaf? The point is, I said that you guys are crazier than me.”

Deysi and Mayra glared at Milaine, Nigel who was sitting next to the older brother just silently. Though the core of this dinner has not yet begun and Conrad has not revealed his nose.

“Bigger! You—”

“Do not make a fuss. Do you want me to scold us for this trivial matter? Dad most dislikes no noise in the dining room,” scolded Arthyn finally spoke up.

Coinciding with Arthyn's words, Conrad finally arrived. It was fortunate that the commotion just now was not heard into Conrad's ears. So, this dinner can at least be a peaceful walk as long as Conrad is there.

“It looks like all have gathered. Now please serve the opening dishes,” command Conrad.

A number of waiters entered the room carrying appetizers for them to enjoy before eating the main dish. However, Milaine was suspicious of a servant.

‘Poison scent,’ inner Milaine when a waiter walks past her.

The waiter served a special appetizer to Conrad. Milaine's eyeballs were incessantly watching the waiter.

‘The tip of his nails has a poison residue that is roughly concocted. Did he try to poison Dad?’

Milaine observed the food in front of him. His smell is very sensitive and he has been studying poison for the past five years.

‘Targetnya not only Dad, but he also targeted me and Nigel.’

Milaine patted slowly Nigel's shoulder then whispered, “Don't touch the food, it contains poison.”

Nigel gasped as his sister told him about the poison in the food. He obeyed Milaine's words without doubting her in the least.

“Please eat the opening dishes,” Conrad said.

When Conrad was about to bribe his food, Milaine accidentally dropped his fork and knife, disrupting everyone's focus.

“I'm sorry, the fork and knife fell. Can you get it for me?”

Milaine's eyes were on the waiter who had served Conrad food. Without saying much, the servant approached Milaine to pick up the fork and knife. However, Milaine suddenly stuck the servant's neck and hit him against the wall surface.

The whole room was shocked, they were forced to pause their eating activities.

“Milaine, what the hell is this? Did you mess up dinner on purpose?!” conrad rebuked Milaine.

At the same time, from the pocket of the uniform the servant fell a small bottle containing poison. Milaine rushed to take the poison.

“Sorry, Dad. Better, Dad do not eat the appetizer because in it there is a deadly poison.”
