Black Killer Whale Baby [EN]: Chapter 141

Chapter 141

To my question, Bellus nodded with the same nonchalant expression as before.

“Are you talking about the person who gave birth to us?”

“…Usually, that’s what it means.”

Like the guy who shouted, ‘I don’t have a dad’ even with a father right in front of him.

He showed the same attitude towards the mother who gave birth to him.

‘Come to think of it, I’ve never talked about our mom with my three brothers, have I?’

We talked about a person named ‘Pierre Aquasidel’ in the last episode.

But there was no story related to Mom.

It was natural.

For us, Pierre Aquasidel was, at least, someone who survived in the family, and although we hadn’t seen his face, rumors about him were rampant.

We all grew up hearing rumors about Dad.

On the other hand, there was strangely no talk about Mom.

Except that she was a political marriage partner and died early when she gave birth to me.

‘Thinking about it, it’s strange.’

She was married to that Pierre Aquasidel, but she’s so unknown.

Even though she was said to have been ill, Dad received public attention throughout his life and had power comparable to the head of the family.

Wouldn’t there naturally be a lot of interest in his marriage partner?

“What are you curious about?”

Thanks to the firstborn’s calm voice, I woke up from my thoughts.

After realizing the strange point, my curiosity grew even more.

‘If she died when she gave birth to me….’

In other words, she was alive until she gave birth to my three older brothers.

Besides, considering the age difference between me and the first and second guys, they must have spent some time together.

“You’ve seen Mom alive, haven’t you?”

“Yes.”

“Do you remember Mom?”

“If it’s about that person, I remember.”

Bellus nodded readily.

“Agenor Aquasidel won’t remember, and Atlan Aquasidel probably… forgot because he’s stupid.”

I can feel a subtle disregard for the second born in his words. It was like this in the previous episodes too.

‘The two fought so much, but the firstborn probably didn’t even think of it as a fight…?’

I erased the rising memories and asked.

“What kind of person was she?”

“…? An Orca.”

“Would I have asked you that?”

“Then what’s important?”

When I was on Earth, I wasn’t the type to get too immersed….

If I could predict this guy’s MBTI [Myers-Briggs Type Indicator], he would undoubtedly be ‘S’ [Sensing].

Such a realistic human being.

“Isn’t there no other important fact to you besides that?”

“That’s right.”

In fact, I hadn’t been curious at all until now, so I agreed for now.

“I know she’s from a branch family of Orcas, and it was a political marriage. What kind of personality did she have besides that? Like, for example, was she a cheerful person…? That’s what I’m curious about.”

“It’s not difficult to answer, but it’s strange. Were you the type of person who was curious about that?”

“No, I wasn’t.”

This guy knows me better than I thought?

Unlike Atlan, he shouldn’t even have memories, but still.

“But I’ve become curious. What kind of person Mom is. And you’re the only one who can answer me besides Dad, so I’m asking. Don’t answer if you don’t want to.”

There’s no way I’m going to let you get away with it, you bastard. I said with a warning, and Bellus quietly shook his head.

“It’s not that I don’t want to. It’s just that I didn’t think it was important, so I don’t remember much in that direction.”

“Nothing at all?”

“Come to think of it… I think it was that person who first taught me the power of water.”

You learned how to handle the ‘power of water’ from your mother? The firstborn did?

‘Wait, there are few people in the branch family who can use the power of water, right?’

That’s why Lyla is in a high position despite her young age.

Besides, I had never heard that Mom knew how to use the power of water.

Even if she did, it would have been a well-known story.

“Are you saying she knew how to use the power of water?”

“Yes. Ah, it wasn’t a known fact. She said she wouldn’t use it outside either.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know.”

Bellus replied that he didn’t know because he didn’t ask.

“She was a strange person. She certainly had a weak body, but she knew how to use the power of water….”

I thought he would answer roughly and pass it on as if he was annoyed, but I was slightly surprised that he was answering more sincerely than I thought.

‘It seems like this guy didn’t spend that much time with her either.’

In fact, there are many things I’m curious about.

There was one thing I was most curious about.

I’d probably have a really hard time asking Dad.

“By any chance, how did Mom die?”

Bellus, who was resting his chin on his hand and pondering, stared at me at my question.

A frown quickly settled on his elegant face.

“What on earth are you talking about?”

Bellus asked me back as if he had heard something he couldn’t understand.

“Huh? What?”

I couldn’t understand either.

Because that wasn’t the answer that should have come back to the question of how she died.

“Die?”

“Huh? Can’t you understand me? You’re smart, aren’t you? How did she die….”

“No, I understood. It’s not that.”

Bellus’s face frowned even more.

“That person didn’t die?”

…What?

* * *

A few days later.

Perhaps because my and Dad’s influence has grown since I was three years old.

This trip to the Dragon City also proceeded very quickly.

‘Well, the head of the family is also supporting this trip with expectations, so it can’t be fast.’

The Orca society was turned upside down at the news that I was leaving as the ‘Dragon’s Bride’.

That’s because ‘Calypso,’ who was considered a strong candidate despite her young age, was suddenly going on a path to die.

Whether the head of the family was crazy or Calypso herself was crazy. It was a choice that could only be said that one of the two was crazy.

‘Of course, neither I nor that old woman are crazy.’

I didn’t correct anything to avoid revealing the plan.

What was a little surprising was….

“Princess, let’s run away together! Hyung [older brother] has a lot of money!”

“Princess, where do you want to run away to?”

…Ilia, I told you to keep it a secret, but I didn’t know you would keep it a secret from your children too.

Thanks to that, I saw the twins crying for the first time in a long time.

‘Even if they pretend to be mature, they’re still babies.’

Maybe it’s because I’ve seen the Bellugas since they were so young, they don’t seem big even when they grow up.

I shook my head and laughed, and several pairs of eyes were cast down on me.

I calmly accepted it and turned my head.

‘We’ve already come this far.’

The vast wasteland spread out through the window.

Maybe we’ll arrive faster than the last trip?

“It’s my first time going as the Dragon’s Bride.”

Then, Ekion, who was sitting quietly next to me, flinched.

At the same time, Dad’s voice came.

“…Are there people who do that twice?”

“No, there aren’t.”

But the person who’s doing it for the fourth time is here?

“I just thought it was peaceful.”

“It’s said that the calmest time is right before a typhoon comes.”

“Wow, are you considering me a typhoon?”

I stopped laughing.

Because when I looked at Dad’s face, Bellus’s words, which I had forgotten, came back to my mind.

No, it’s not that I forgot, but the words I had been trying to forget all along.

“That person didn’t die?”

How could I forget?

‘Mom didn’t die….’

“Ah, even that ‘Pierre Aquasidel’ might not know.”

Then how on earth, what is she doing? Why is it known that she died? Everyone thought and believed so without a doubt.

…Even Dad.

I threw all these questions fiercely at Bellus, but the firstborn didn’t answer.

“Get stronger if you want to hear.”

Daringly presumptuous, saying things like this. The only reason I couldn’t beat him up on the spot was.

Because the face smiling at me overlapped with the face smiling at me at the last moment of the 3rd round.

‘Anyway, that guy is just stubborn. He didn’t have a face that said he would admit defeat.’

He’s the one who never declared defeat even after being brutally defeated by me several times.

He was the most stubborn of the three brothers.

‘Well, besides, I can beat him up when I get back.’

I was thinking this while staring at Dad.

I want to think about other things, but I don’t think I can escape this thought.

Wouldn’t it be better to ask?

‘I’m really curious, but can I ask?’

In fact, it’s safe to say that I don’t have much delicacy.

I don’t know if Dad loved Mom or not. Anyway, it’s a story between the opposite sex that I didn’t know.

‘I’ve had engagements and political marriages, but the other person had to be a proper XX.’

Was I making too much of a fuss?

“What on earth are you looking at me and groaning like a constipated minnow?”

“Ah, um, that’s actually….”

I’m not good at speaking indirectly.

Yeah, when did I ever speak indirectly? Let’s go straight.

“What kind of person was Mom?”

A sharp answer came back.

“An Orca.”

“…….”

……Bellus, you son of a bitch, you’re Dad’s son.
