Chapter ss-21: Side Story 21
I gaped my mouth at the unexpected thing I just heard. Those pair of blue eyes which were staring at me shook lightly in despair.I did not know what to say but barely ask aloud:"...Did you hurt your head?"If you didn’t, it would make no sense. ’How come?’If the game was still in a full swing, this definitely was the situation that I would take note off of to try to raise my predilection.But then it was all over. Including my relationship with the Eckart, and him. ’What’s wrong with this bastard?’I thought about it and was confused for a moment. "I..."Suddenly, Derrick opened his mouth and soothed his voice."Despite being the next heir of the Eckart, I was a contemptible man who killed my little sister with my own hands.""....."For more, visit lightnovelpub[.]com"I admit, everything is my fault." " ""You... when you came to the mansion instead of Yvonne ""Stop there."Derrick’s next words were predictable. I could guess it.I couldn’t hear any of his desperate confession since the goosebumps sprang all over my body. I hurriedly told him to stop.(Note: geez even Penelope is disgusting with you derrick..stop already ) "Please stop. I don’t want to hear it.""I was such a fool, a fool with blind eyes." " ""I can not repeat that twice." "Ha."He wasn’t talking about Yvonne.Visit l/i/ghtn/ovelpu/b[.]com for the best novel reading experienceI bursted out a cold laughter just when I understood everything. "What are you going to do, then?""...""I hate you, to the point that I am going crazy. What will you do?" His face got even paler after those words of mine.As I looked at him, I clenched my teeth and titled my head abruptly."What? In order to hide your affection for your step sister in front of people, you make them abused and despited her until she committed suicide, and now all you going to do is confess?""... Penelope.""Or, you keep procrastinating and lock me up like a bird in your room?" Did you think that I am not aware of the meaning of it?As his blue eyes wide open, a vivid expression rapidly passed his face. Whether it was shameful or agonizing, it is not my problem."Obviously, you can’t do that. But if you do, I will marry the Crown Prince immediately." Fortunately, or unfortunately.Visit /lightnovelpub[.]com for the best novel reading experienceNot only that I had no sympathy for his feelings, I also knew how to blow his fuse effectively. "Penelope Eckart!"As expected, he revealed his true self and completely distorted his face.Even if I didn’t want to marry Callisto, he still hoped to quickly hand the throne to me.But for him, a man who wished I would not get married, saying this was the most ideal strike."I don’t need that protection of the ’authoritative Eckart’ that you keep talking about. I’m going to climb up to a stronger, higher noble position and hold it."Derrick’s complexion changed as if all the blood was flooding out of his stomach. I slowly bowed towards him, still frozen like a statue, and whispered at his ears. "So, before I do that, you should keep the line, young duke.""...""I told you, go and hug your little sister for the rest of your life."After gently stroking the dark pink hair flowing down due to the bowing behind my ear, I reached out to him.Step. Step.That person approached us without any hesitation. His fluttered golden hair shined resplendently in the afternoon sunlight.It was the crown prince."Hey, shouldn’t this ’stage of forgiveness’ has already ended? Just think about all the shit you have done to princess up untill now."Callisto came towards me with a gaze of a murderer. He quickly grabbed and hid me behind his back as if Derrick, who was kneeling, was a menace."Ah, your Highness."I panicked and patted him on his back to stop.The coronation is about to come soon, and it would be a big deal if he stabbed the Eckart young duke.Nevertheless, Callisto stayed still and sprained his head, acting like he was spitting at the kneeling Derrick."Is there anything I would need to know?" In the end, I asked him directly."...Yes."Fortunately, he admitted that his attempt to sneak out was not futile. "I understand it now.""So where are you going to lock me up this time? A place that neither birds nor rats know?" I had time and skill to deal with that, you know?Even though pretending not to know what had he done, Callisto’s face became even paler after those threats of mine."No. Damn it, I’m all wrong."As if I was going to disappear right away, Callisto rushed to me and embraced me with both of his arms. "I understand. Goddamn it, don’t pick more fight, it’s driving me insane."(Note: hoho my poor prince...what should i do with you.. your childishness is way too cute )
