The Way To Protect The Female Lead’S Older Brother [EN]: Chapter 13

Protecting the Heroine’s Older Brother – 13

Protecting the Heroine’s Older Brother 13

I wondered if he would cause a scene like when we first met, but Cassis didn’t.

He simply pierced me with a terribly cold gaze.

Judging by his reaction, Cassis clearly knew my identity even before I visited him today.

Charlotte must have been the source.

She likely said something when she stormed into the underground prison to attack Cassis.

Well, whatever she said was obvious.

It’s a bit much to say it myself, but she probably blurted out something like, ‘I’d rather break you than let Roxana take you away!’

Ugh, saying it like this makes it sound like a love triangle, which is so cringy. Maybe she even spat out the word ‘toy’.

I already knew that Cassis didn’t trust me yet.

Even so, I knew he allowed me to approach him for treatment to figure out my true identity.

This time, Cassis confirmed my position in Agriache.

“What is your relationship with Lant Agriache?”

“He’s my biological father.”

So, was what he said earlier in the same context?

He wanted to confirm my identity quickly, but I didn’t come, so he might have said he felt the absence for a long time.

Still, I had hoped that Cassis would miss me a little and want my help, but it seems it was too early.

Well, if he trusted me completely after only a short time, the name of Fedelian would be tarnished.

But from the beginning, I had no intention of hiding my identity from Cassis.

If I had, I wouldn’t have told him my name, nor would I have let his eyesight return after the spell was lifted.

Cassis had to be clearly aware that he had received help from ‘Roxana Agriache’.

I’m not a philanthropist, and I wasn’t trying to help him without expecting something in return.

“Why did you approach me while hiding your identity?”

“I didn’t reveal my identity because I knew you would be even more wary of me, and the reason I approached you… I told you, I don’t want you to die here.”

Cassis scoffed coldly at my words.

“So, instead of killing me, you’re going to make me your toy?”

Ah, Charlotte must have told him everything.

But there’s a reason for that…….

Anyway, Cassis’s treatment was about to change, and there was a need to let him know about it, so it wasn’t a problem that he knew about the toy.

Well, it’s a bit difficult to explain right now.

“Isn’t that better than being tortured to death?”

Was that too direct?

“This is the only way for you to get out of here. If you want to get out of Agriache safely, it’s wise to accept my help.”

“You’re telling me to trust the daughter of Lant Agriache?”

Cassis paused for a moment, as if gauging something.

I wanted to read his thoughts, but the wall was too solid to figure out what he was thinking.

“I don’t trust you.”

After a while, Cassis opened his mouth, looking at me with calm eyes that showed no agitation.

“But it’s strange that I don’t think you’re lying.”

Cassis still had an unreadable expression on his face as he said that.

“Cassis Fedelian.”

At that moment, he and I were clearly sizing each other up.

“I will protect you.”

At that moment, Cassis’s expression became very strange.

I spoke again to Cassis, who was looking at me as if I had said something very bizarre.

“Until you get out of here safely, I will protect you.”

If only the end of this terrible fate could be changed.

Cassis Fedelian and Roxana Agriache.

The names of two people who could never be on the same line were now written on the same page.

The first chapter of his and my story had just begun.

4. Dog and Owner

Of course, my esteemed father, Lant Agriache, didn’t just let Cassis out of the underground prison nicely.

Cassis was dragged out by Lant’s men and forced to kneel on the floor in humiliation.

Lant Agriache approached and stood in front of him with heavy footsteps.

I quietly watched the two men’s eyes meet in the air.

Like on his first day here, Cassis was bound and gagged.

As before, Cassis’s body was battered. Moreover, he was now forced into a submissive posture.

But his eyes, staring at the person in front of him, were undiminished.

Who would look at Cassis now and think he was a prisoner?

Cassis’s eyes, staring straight at Lant Agriache, were filled with intense murderous intent.

To be able to create a sense of intimidation even in that kneeling position. I thought that was a great ability.

Lant Agriache was looking down at Cassis with an equally intense gaze.

I saw an illusion of electricity crackling between the two.

Then, at some point, a sinister smile appeared on Lant Agriache’s face.

Thwack!

His foot flew and slammed into Cassis’s chest.

I sighed inwardly at the sight.

Yes, today my father is accumulating dead flags [actions that will lead to his downfall], one by one.

Thwack!

Ah, that’s the side Charlotte tore up like a rag. I hadn’t touched it yet because I was going to treat it after I had completely taken over Cassis, but he deliberately poked it with his boot. He really is my father.

Thwack!

“Kuh……!”

This time, Cassis’s face was kicked by Lant’s foot.

I recalled what happened in the underground prison a little while ago and turned my head away from him.

I couldn’t bear to watch Cassis’s miserable appearance any longer.

I felt a little embarrassed because this happened right after I said I would protect him until he got out of here safely.

But there was nothing I could do now.

I hadn’t completely taken over Cassis yet, and moreover, the person inflicting violence on him now was none other than Lant Agriache.

“Inheriting the blood of Richelle Fedelian, even his impudent eyes are just like hers.”

Lant Agriache finally stopped kicking Cassis after covering him with new blood.

Cassis had his head buried on the floor, bleeding from his side, forehead, and gagged mouth.

Even in the midst of that, his eyes were still gleaming so fiercely at Lant Agriache that I couldn’t help but admire him.

“When I found out that that damn bastard had two children, I was a little worried about which one to choose at first.”

Then, Lant Agriache continued, drawing a smile so vicious that it would slap the cheeks of villains all over the world a hundred times over.

“But I thought you would last longer than a girl, so I deliberately chose you, and you have to be like this.”

My dear father seemed to be satisfied only when he stepped on a landmine.

Bringing up his younger sister, Sylvia, to Cassis, who is overflowing with family love and sister love.

Look at the eyes of the heroine’s older brother. Doesn’t it seem like he could easily tear a person or two to death with just his eyes?

“Roxana.”

“Yes, Father.”

Of course, Lant Agriache couldn’t hear my inner thoughts.

He called me while pressing down on Cassis’s head. I, who had been standing quietly behind him, answered quietly at his call.

Cassis’s hot gaze slid toward me as well.

Um, but heroine’s older brother. You don’t think you’re lumping me in as an enemy too, do you?

Just because my outward position is like this doesn’t mean I’m really on my father’s side. But such fierce eyes are a bit…….

Didn’t we have a good conversation earlier?

No, well……. I guess it’s understandable in this situation.

If I were Cassis Fedelian, I would have seen Lant Agriache and me as the same villainous father and daughter.

I felt like sighing, but I had to hold it in now.

“It hasn’t been long since your birthday.”

“Yes, I’m glad you remember.”

“I’ll give you this bastard as a gift. Have fun playing with him until you get tired of him.”

This person, really. He could have just given it to me, but why is he bringing up my birthday to look good? He’s never celebrated his children’s birthdays separately before.

“Thank you, Father.”

I hid my cynical thoughts and smiled at Lant Agriache.

“I’ll train him well so you won’t be disappointed.”

That’s how I got my first dog.
