How to Protect the Heroine’s Older Brother 1

1. Let’s start by planting a death flag.

So, this story began when my dear father kidnapped a boy.

“Father, who is he? He’s a bit different from the toys we’ve had so far.”

“He’s the son of that arrogant bastard, brought here to be taught a lesson.”

I recognized who the boy was at a glance. Someone with that much presence had to be a main character in this world.

“Can I play with him? I’m good at teaching lessons now, too.”

“Me too, me too!”

My siblings, who took after our father and were rotten to the core, chirped greedily like baby birds in front of food.

“Lock him in the basement until he becomes more obedient.”

The subordinates, following my father’s orders, grabbed the boy by the hair.

He was wearing restraints for dealing with magical creatures on all four limbs and had a gag in his mouth.

However, the power emanating from the boy was immense, hard to believe he was alone and thrown into this situation. Even as he was dragged to the underground prison, he glared fiercely at my family until the end. His murderous, piercing gaze made my knees tremble.

“Oh, this toy looks like it will be fun.”

“I want to play with him soon.”

As I said before, I already knew who he was.

It was Cassis Pedelian, the heroine’s older brother.

Unlike my siblings who were excitedly chattering, the only thought filling my head right now was:

Wow. I’m completely screwed.

That damn father of mine has finally planted a death flag on me.

2. I hate this kind of reincarnation.

Of course, I didn’t know from the beginning that this place was a world inside a book.

I died in a traffic accident during a blizzard in the middle of winter.

I was struggling with my graduation thesis and was returning late from the library when a car skidded on the snowy road and crashed onto the sidewalk. Unfortunately, I happened to be passing by that spot.

That’s how I died and was reincarnated.

Well, let’s skip the details of my past life. It wouldn’t be very interesting anyway. And now, reminiscing about the past won’t help me at all.

What’s important here isn’t what kind of life I lived in my previous life, but how terrible the place I was reincarnated into is.

The first start wasn’t bad, surprisingly.

“A daughter this time. It’s perfect since we have Asil already.”

The first voice I heard after being born was my mother’s, gentle and warm.

I heard that she wanted a daughter as the second child because she had a son before me.

Of course, I was quite shocked by the fact that I had died and was reborn, but I accepted reality fairly quickly.

What else could I do? I was already dead, and I couldn’t go back to the way I was before, no matter how much I wanted to. Besides, I was originally quite adaptable.

My new mother was incredibly beautiful. With honey-like golden hair that looked like melted gold and deep blue eyes like a lake, my mother was as beautiful as a princess in a fairy tale.

Wow, a man who won over such a beauty. My father is so lucky.

I had quite a weakness for good-looking people, and I always preferred looking at pretty older sisters rather than handsome older brothers.

Moreover, my mother was a mix of Western and Eastern features, a truly perfect beauty.

I admired my mother’s face every day.

“So, this is the child?”

But it turned out that my father had an even more impressive appearance than my mother.

“She looks a lot like you.”

The moment I made eye contact with the man with black hair and red eyes, I couldn’t help but be surprised. He was a noticeable person in a different sense than my mother.

Perhaps it was because his features were so distinct, or perhaps it was because the atmosphere he exuded was unusual, but he had a very intense impression that I would never forget once I saw him.

He was quite handsome, but the atmosphere around him was so overwhelming that his beautiful appearance didn’t stand out.

“Yes, but her eyes are red like yours.”

My mother said with a pure smile.

At this point, I began to look forward to my own beauty. If I inherited the genes of these two people, wouldn’t it be natural for me to be quite beautiful too?

“Roxana.”

However, my father’s gaze as he looked at me in my mother’s arms was somewhat indifferent.

“This child’s name will be Roxana.”

He only gave me my name and then left.

Come to think of it, this person was the rotten father who never came to see me until my vision cleared.

The look in my father’s eyes as he looked down at me just now was so dry that I couldn’t believe he was looking at his daughter. How could such an unsentimental person be my father?

“Roxana. My pretty baby.”

My mother seemed a little sad, but she soon smiled brightly as usual and looked down at me.

“Grow up healthy and become a great Agriche.”

At that moment, I felt a strange sense of déjà vu [a feeling of having already experienced the present situation].

Agriche… a name I seem to have heard somewhere.

Anyway, seeing that even my father looks like that, was I reincarnated abroad? The language they use doesn’t seem to be English, but I can understand it naturally, so it seems like I received some kind of reincarnation buff [an ability or advantage gained upon being reincarnated].

But soon I became sleepy, so I couldn’t think about it for long.

Babies sleep a lot, they say, and it’s true. Hmm.

I fell fast asleep while being patted by my mother.

I didn’t know it then.

How vicious and terrible this Agriche family I belonged to was. And also the fact that I had been reincarnated in a very absurd place.

Well, even if I had known, there was nothing I could have done about it.
