The Way To Protect The Female Lead’S Older Brother [EN]: Chapter 127

The Method to Protect the Heroine’s Older Brother – 127

The head of Hyperion decided that he could no longer ignore Orca’s recklessness.

So, he planned to forcibly remove him from this social gathering.

Pandora’s mission was to somehow help Orca recover his spirits before that happened.

Pandora wondered, “Why me?” but she had made mistakes too, so she couldn’t refuse.

Even now, she felt quite ashamed of being disrespectful in Fedelian and practically being kicked out.

Every time Pandora recalled that incident, she would kick her blanket at night, overwhelmed by shame and embarrassment.

In any case, the head of Hyperion used the incident at Fedelian as an excuse to entrust Pandora with the task concerning Orca.

In reality, he was passing on a job that no one else wanted.

Still, this time Orca showed a different reaction than before.

“Yggdrasil?” [In Norse mythology, Yggdrasil is a giant mythical tree that connects the nine worlds.]

“I told you yesterday! Were you ignoring me again?”

As if recalling something he had forgotten, a fleeting light flashed in Orca’s eyes.

“Nuna, do you know the list of attendees coming to Yggdrasil?” [Nuna is a Korean term used by males to address older females they are close to, like an older sister.]

However, Pandora felt uneasy because it didn’t seem like a lively glint, but rather a feverish one.

“How would I know that?”

“Then does Uncle know?”

Suddenly, Orca showed an enthusiasm that had vanished for a while, and he rose from the windowsill where he had been sitting.

He carelessly put down the bottle of alcohol he had been cherishing and began heading towards the head’s office.

Following Orca’s swift steps, his long, light blue hair, tied in one, fluttered like the tail feathers of a bluebird.

Pandora watched Orca’s retreating figure with mixed feelings.

‘Anyway, it seems like he recovered his spirits quickly without much effort, so is that a good thing?’

Thinking that, Pandora also turned to leave to return to her room.

However, for some reason, she couldn’t help but keep looking back at where Orca had disappeared, feeling an inexplicable sense of unease creeping up her spine.

14. The Princess and the Prisoner

It took several days to travel from Vertium to Fedelian.

So, by the time I arrived at Fedelian, I had completely regained my composure.

Cassis had almost completely healed Nyx’s somewhat serious injuries during the journey.

The hand that had been half-cut off and the left eye that had been bleeding were now completely healed. Of course, that didn’t mean the lost eyeball had returned.

I had said that it would be enough if he just had his breath left, but Cassis healed Nyx until there were no outwardly visible wounds.

Although the contents had changed, I felt that he was showing respect for Asil, who was my brother.

When taking Nyx out of the luggage compartment upon arriving at Fedelian, Cassis moved himself instead of entrusting him to Isidore or others.

He hoisted Nyx onto his shoulder, just like he had done in Vertium.

“Oppa! Roxana!” [Oppa is a Korean term used by females to address older males they are close to, like an older brother or boyfriend.]

Silvia ran out in one breath after hearing the news of our return.

“I’ve been waiting since morning, and you’re finally here… Huh?”

She widened her eyes at Nyx, who was bound and limply hanging on Cassis’s shoulder.

Although his wounds had been healed, the bloodstains remained, so Nyx was currently covered in blood.

On the other hand, I, who had fought with him in Vertium, had been purified by Cassis, so I was spotless without a single trace of blood.

When Cassis said he would show ‘some’ respect, it included this reason.

Cassis only healed Nyx’s wounds and didn’t provide any convenience for anything else.

Given Cassis’s personality, he could have taken care of these details if he wanted to.

But the fact that he didn’t seemed to indicate that he didn’t like Nyx, who had attacked me.

“Who is that? Why is he so injured? Oh, and why are Roxana’s clothes torn? And now that I see it, your hair is cut too!”

Silvia bombarded me with questions.

My clothes were torn in so many places that I borrowed Cassis’s clothes to cover up, but Silvia noticed my changes with her sharp eyes.

Only the side of my ear was slightly cut, so I thought it wouldn’t be noticeable, but I guess I was wrong.

“It’s okay, Silvia. I’m not hurt.”

First, I reassured Silvia. Then, I opened my mouth again to explain Nyx’s identity, which she was curious about.

“And this person is…”

“Ugh…”

Right then, a small groan tickled my ear.

The sound came from Cassis’s shoulder.

Everyone present turned their gaze to where the groan came from.

Nyx, who had been unconscious the whole time, was trying to regain consciousness at this very moment.

“Wh… at…”

He slowly blinked his unfocused eyes and wriggled his body.

However, Nyx’s body was tightly bound with ropes, so he couldn’t move as he wished.

Perhaps Nyx realized this, as his eyes suddenly widened.

“Gasp!”

At that moment, Silvia gasped and took a step back.

Even to me, Nyx’s appearance looked like something out of a horror movie.

His body was covered in blood, one eye was hollow, and the other eye was gleaming with a wild light.

“What…! Where is this! Where did you bring me!”

And what about that venomous shout?

Nyx thrashed and screamed.

Of course, Cassis was holding him firmly, so he couldn’t get out of his current position.

Still, it was definitely annoying.

Nyx’s appearance, writhing and struggling with his limbs tied, was like a shrimp jumping in boiling oil.

He was relentlessly scattering ashes on the image of Asil that remained faintly in my memory.

Naturally, I felt very gloomy.

“Shut up, it’s noisy. No, just stay quietly unconscious until I allow it.”

I coldly retorted and struck Nyx’s neck hard, knocking him unconscious in one blow.

If his stomach had been exposed, I would have hit his solar plexus to knock him out, but Nyx’s position was face down, so I couldn’t do that.

Suddenly, Isidore, who was behind Cassis, made a sound.

“Indeed… there must be something that connects siblings…”

He muttered something incomprehensible to himself. His voice was so small that I couldn’t hear everything he said.

However, Cassis seemed to know what Isidore’s words meant, as he slightly raised his eyebrows.

Somehow, his expression didn’t seem unpleasant.

“We should lock him up before he wakes up and causes another disturbance.”

“Let’s put him in the prison as we discussed yesterday.”

After briefly discussing Nyx’s treatment with Cassis, I turned my head and saw Silvia with her mouth open even wider than before.

She was looking at me with wide eyes.

At first, I wondered why she was doing that, but I soon realized the reason.

Ah, she’s reacting to the way I treated Nyx. Come to think of it, I’ve never shown this side of me in front of Silvia.

Just as I was about to open my mouth, thinking she might be surprised, Silvia spoke first.

“Can I call you ‘Sister’?”

What?

I paused at the unexpected words.

Perhaps it was because of the sunlight, but Silvia’s golden eyes were shining more intensely than usual.

“I want to call you ‘Sister’. Is that okay?”

When I didn’t answer, she asked again with a voice that felt quite earnest.

I glanced sideways and saw Cassis looking at his younger sister with strange eyes.

I turned my gaze back to Silvia and gave my permission.

“No, it’s okay. Call me whatever you want.”

A bright smile immediately spread across Silvia’s face.

“Yes, then I’ll call you ‘Sister’. I’m so happy!”

She seemed really happy, which made me feel strange.

Suddenly, I saw Richel and Jeanne approaching from behind Silvia.

“You’re back.”

“We’re back.”

Richel glanced at our figures and Nyx, then narrowed his brows.

“It seems like something complicated happened in Vertium.”

Jeanne followed with a slightly stiff face.

“Are you both hurt anywhere?”

“I’m fine now. Thank you for your concern.”

Her gaze lingered on me for a long time, so I smiled slightly and answered.

“Who is that? He has a strange feeling.”

Richel’s eyes towards Nyx shone with a sharp light. Cassis explained to him.

“He is Noel Vertium’s doll. I heard that the body is from a real person. I will give you a detailed explanation inside.”

At that moment, Richel’s face stiffened.

“A doll using a human body?”

His eyes became even sharper than before.
