Sister, Don’t Marry That Guy – Chapter 107

Chapter 107

Leia blinked and then smiled faintly.

It seemed that the Acting Head of Family was firmly convinced that Kyle was already involved in this crime.

However, since the only witness had disappeared, it also seemed like he was taking a stance of putting it aside for now.

“Also, leaving the Kadin Merchant Guild, which committed the crime, as is, is an insult to my family. Shut it down. Anyone who resists may be executed in the name of Blackwinter.”

“Yes! Acting Head of Family!”

With this incident, Kyle not only lost the trust of his father, who was practically the head of the family, but also lost the foundation he had built up firmly over the years in an instant. Kyle showed a sign of agitation.

A cold fire ignited in Kyle’s eyes.

“But Father, isn’t there another ‘criminal’ here who committed a ‘crime’ besides the dead one?”

“Criminal?”

As Kyle brought up a new story, the vassals who had been murmuring also began to listen. The words that would come out here could never be light.

“Isn’t there someone over there who did the work of a merchant guild that Father forbade?”

What Kyle pointed to was Roxy Eastwood, who had been watching the situation until now.

“My aunt tried to lightly pass over it, but the will of the father, who originally acts as the head of the family, is like the family’s law and code. Are you going to leave someone who so boldly confesses their crime in public as is?”

Discomfiture flashed across Roxy’s face.

Leia, who had been leaning against the wall, quietly moved away.

“Although she was stripped of the family name, there is no one outside who does not know that my aunt was a member of the family. Nevertheless, shamelessly showing her face and trying to create a trivial merchant guild is not only against Father’s will, but more than anything, isn’t it an act of dragging the family’s dignity, which should be valued above all else, to the ground?”

Today, Kyle had his right arm cut off and, more importantly, lost his father’s trust.

It was a fatal blow for Kyle.

And he turned that anger towards Roxy Eastwood.

“Damaging the family’s prestige. It’s what Father hates the most.”

Kyle knew that it was a way of venting his anger. But he couldn’t let the one who had hindered his path live.

“Also, she was originally a degenerated mutant, but she was able to live under Grandfather and Father’s mercy… I believe it is right for her to disappear from the family forever, and I will take care of it myself.”

Let’s kill her in advance before she tries to retaliate again.

Leia felt a chill.

The atmosphere was ominous.

As expected, Kyle Blackwinter, who had slowly moved away from his seat, was seen grabbing his sword.

*Shwing*. The sword was drawn.

*Clang!*

“D*mn it, what are you doing!”

Roxy shouted, trying her best to appear calm. However, she realized it in one exchange.

She couldn’t be Kyle’s opponent.

Roxy Eastwood barely blocked the attack, but blood was dripping from her arm.

It was amazing that she had endured the surprise attack. It was an attack that would have made most swordsmen drop their swords immediately.

Kyle also felt that and sensed his victory.

At this moment, no one stopped his punishment. Even his father was silent about this punishment.

An opponent who was barely managing to avoid vital points. Kyle moved like a snake herding a mouse.

‘Is it now?’

Kyle smiled coldly inside as he delivered the final blow.

The opponent had already lost strength in her body as if she had just come from a battle somewhere.

‘It’s over.’

He raised his sword. Towards an opponent he could easily take the life of without much effort.

*Clang!*

However, Kyle’s attack was blocked by a huge ice wall.

An ice wall? No, it was a bluish ice-shaped tree.

Kyle had once thought about it. The growth rate of the Psyche Merchant Guild led by Roxy Eastwood was too fast and heterogeneous.

…If she had this kind of explosive power, why had she been helplessly powerless for the past years?

A growth that was so steep it was strange.

Perhaps behind Roxy Eastwood, there was another person who was controlling her, he guessed.

If there was such a person… he.

“Stop.”

Leia, holding a necklace with a blue gem in one hand and a magic book in the other, was glaring at Kyle.

* * *

Wow, that was a close call.

Kyle’s attack was so fast that if I had hesitated even a little at the last moment, my aunt might have been seriously injured or even killed.

Also, it was full of power, and I could see that my magic that blocked it was cracked.

“Aunt, no, Leia?”

My aunt had a bewildered expression. Well, she wouldn’t have expected me to step in like this.

Of course, I didn’t plan to step in either.

But my aunt might be hurt or killed by that bastard’s sword right away, and I couldn’t be so indifferent as to just leave her.

If I intervened carelessly, my aunt could be in danger. I waited next to her for that bastard to unleash his strongest blow.

I whispered very quietly as if nothing was wrong.

“It’d be troublesome if Aunt dies. You know that well. I’ll cry a lot.”

“……..”

My aunt bit her lip at my whisper.

“W-what is going on? Is that the Young Lady? Where did she come from?”

“Isn’t what’s unfolded in front of the Young Lady magic? No, wait, did that block the First Young Master’s attack?”

“Good heavens, Blackwinter. How can the Young Lady use magic?”

I could hear the murmuring surrounding us. It was as expected. I slowly shifted my gaze.

Towards the owner of this conference room, my father, who had been watching this punishment until now.

“I greet the Acting Head of Family.”

At the same time, my father’s eyebrows twitched slightly.

As if he was making a displeased expression, I chuckled inwardly.

Is that expression embarrassment, bewilderment, or surprise?

It didn’t matter which one it was.

“Leia Blackwinter.”

A voice filled with anger called out to me. It was Kyle’s voice.

“What is the meaning of this?”

My father opened his mouth without turning his gaze towards Kyle.

“Do you have a reason for suddenly appearing in this situation and interfering?”

My father’s gaze stared at me as if piercing through me. It was a gaze that I used to fear the most.

“If not, you will have to pay the price.”

“Of course.”

I bowed my head deeply.

“Please forgive my rudeness for suddenly interfering without greeting you. I didn’t want my aunt to die.”

“This place is not allowed for anyone who is not permitted, Leia Blackwinter. You may not know the world, but you should know this, shouldn’t you?”

“Yes. This is a space not allowed for me.”

Perhaps if I had done nothing, I would never have been able to enter here for the rest of my life.

I calmed my mind.

In the meantime, my father opened his mouth again.

“Are you a magician? Or is there a magician helping you?”

“Neither.”

I slowly shook my head.

“I happened to acquire an item from an archmage and only learned a little about how to use it.”

At my words, the surroundings became even more turbulent. Everyone had expressions full of strange curiosity and aversion.

“I will explain more about this later. First of all, as I said, I couldn’t let my aunt die. And most of all… it’s largely my fault that my aunt started running a merchant guild again.”

I spoke clearly.

“I was the one who encouraged my aunt, who was trying to liquidate the merchant guild that was on the verge of collapse, Acting Head of Family.”

“……..”

“And I was also the one who found the magic book and helped my aunt with the ‘cola’ business.”

I embellished the story of what had happened so far.

It was my idea that my aunt made deals with magicians, and I recommended a book of basic knowledge about it to my aunt.

“So if my aunt is guilty, I am also guilty. Because I helped my aunt.”

I looked at the floor and then raised my gaze again.

“But I don’t know why this is a crime that deserves death. Acting Head of Family. Above all, even if it is a crime, my aunt has proven the crime related to the family’s very important monster byproducts and prevented damage. If you take this into account, shouldn’t my aunt be rewarded, or at least be given some consideration?”

My father stared at me quietly before opening his mouth.

“Leia Blackwinter. Does what you have said so far mean that you are confessing that you are a magician?”

“No. Unfortunately, that’s not the case.”

It was embarrassing that I had been so afraid of my father until now, as the words flowed out so easily.

“In the library, I found the magic tools of ‘Braham Grassa’, the great magician who was a friend of my grandfather in the past, and I accidentally found out that I could use them.”

Those who can use magic tools that infuse mana are either magicians or those with mana. Or a knight.

“I have a talent for magic, and I have mana. I can’t use magic because I haven’t learned it… but I can use tools like this.”

I showed the necklace in my hand.

Actually, my master gave it to me to use while training, but it didn’t have any special magic on it.

At best, it could summon a few pieces of ice.

‘I didn’t know I could use it like this.’

Although I had no choice but to reveal that I was a magician, I couldn’t tell everything.

For example, that I met my master through a portal in the library, or that I have the talent of a great magician.

‘I’d be easily assassinated and killed right away.’

By that Kyle Blackwinter.

Of course, now that I’ve revealed myself, I have to be prepared for the future.

Although that bastard Kyle has lost trust, he still has the backing of the Acting Head of Family as the successor, but I have nothing.
