Protecting the Heroine’s Older Brother – Episode 66

“Damn it, what the hell is going on?”

Fontaine muttered to himself, grinding his teeth.

For some reason, the underground prison had been quiet for a while. The guards who had been standing in front of the cell were all gone.

He scanned his surroundings alertly, trying to break free from his shackles.

Then, he heard the sound of the underground prison door opening in the distance.

Creak.

Fontaine stopped moving and stared beyond the bars.

Finally, he saw the person who appeared before him, and he couldn’t help but distort his face.

The person who came to the underground prison was Deon.

He stood outside the bars and scanned the surroundings once. Soon, his slow gaze slid to the bound Fontaine.

“Where’s Lant?”

“Don’t you even call him father anymore?”

Deon didn’t react to Fontaine’s sarcastic tone.

“If he’s not here, he must have run away.”

Fontaine said, grinding his teeth.

*No wonder* it’s been so quiet; he ran away alone. *Damn him.*

“Hey, Deon. If you were just using me to take Father’s place, you didn’t have to go this far, did you?”

Fontaine decided to try to appease Deon in order to escape from the underground prison.

“I never wanted to be the head in the first place. But Roxana kept whispering slyly by my side, so I was tempted for a moment.”

The first time he was called out in front of Lant and beaten, he thought he was going to die, but the situation turned in an unexpected direction.

But it didn’t seem like that was a bad thing for Fontaine.

No, rather, it was something he welcomed.

He wanted to laugh out loud, thinking that *you* were so aloof, but in the end, what *you* wanted was the same as *me*.

A person with clear desires is not difficult to deal with.

In that respect, Fontaine found the current Deon easier to appease than Deon, who had never shown his true colors until now.

When he was first imprisoned in this underground prison, he thought they would at least stake him to the ground, but it was surprising that they just tied him up like this.

Of course, that didn’t mean that the current situation was very good, but at least he could avoid the worst ending he had imagined when he was in the Chamber of Judgment.

“If you let me out now, I’ll take Father’s head with my own hands and give it to you. I’ve had a lot of grievances with Father while living. So if you become the head, I think I can get along with you better than I have until now.”

Of course, he didn’t have the slightest intention of belonging to Deon and cleaning up after him.

“I’m a man who knows how to accept defeat cleanly. I’ll step down.”

But first, he had to live to plan for the future, didn’t he?

“If you want, I’ll leave Agrigent [the family estate or territory] and live quietly as if I were dead. If you’re still suspicious, I’ll even write a contract. I’ll never interfere with you again….”

But the emotionless voice that flowed from Deon’s mouth stopped Fontaine’s tongue.

“You’re mistaken about one thing. To think that someone like you could be an obstacle in my path.”

“What?”

“It hasn’t been, and won’t be in the future.”

*This bastard…!*

Sparks flew from Fontaine’s eyes. Thick veins stood out on his forehead and neck.

But Fontaine tried to suppress the rising heat and spat out a voice as if chewing through his clenched teeth.

“Then it’s okay to just let me out of here? If you don’t care if I’m here or not, isn’t that right? If my existence is not a threat to you, then why do you need to keep me locked up in prison like this?”

Deon was silent. He stared at Fontaine, who was struggling to live, with cold eyes.

*Damn it,* why is he just standing there and staring?

As Deon’s silence grew longer, Fontaine’s anxiety and annoyance grew with it.

“What are you thinking about for so long? It’s simple if you do as I say.”

When Fontaine urged him, Deon finally opened his mouth.

“I was just thinking about opening this door and killing you right now.”

“What….”

“Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve liked you all along.”

“W-wait a minute….”

“Especially, there were times when I wanted to pluck out those eyes.”

In an instant, he thought he was screwed.

*What went wrong?* Deon suddenly changed his attitude.

No, it wasn’t that Deon’s attitude towards Fontaine had changed.

He still had a cold, indifferent face as he approached the bars where Fontaine was.

However, his subsequent actions were quite threatening to Fontaine.

Crack! Clang!

Deon simply broke the lock on the bars without a key, as if there would be no need to lock this door again after this moment.

“You…! Are you serious right now?”

Fontaine was horrified, wondering if he was really going to kill him.

Creak!

The sound of the cell door opening felt more chilling than ever.

Deon’s foot stepped into the cell. A cold gaze was fixed on Fontaine’s face.

Woo-oong!

At that moment, a loud noise was heard from outside.

Perhaps he had left the underground prison door open when he came in; the sound was quite loud.

It was an intruder alarm.

Deon, who had been pushing open the cell door, stopped moving.

He turned his head and stared at the door in the distance.

Fontaine watched Deon without even breathing properly.

Thud.

After a while, when Deon started to move again, Fontaine flinched without realizing it.

However, the place where Deon was heading was not inside the cell where Fontaine was. It was a great relief for Fontaine.

Deon turned around and walked towards the door of the underground prison.

Only after Deon’s figure disappeared from his sight and even the sound of his footsteps was completely gone, was Fontaine finally able to take a deep breath that he had been holding back.

“What the hell?”

Jeremy raised his head sharply, stopping on his way to the annex.

Woo-oong!

The loud intruder alarm ringing in his ears was deafening.

Come to think of it, it had been noisy behind him for a while. When he turned around, he could see smoke and flames rising from one side of the building he had just escaped from.

Jeremy hurriedly threw down the servant he had been carrying on his back and started running back the way he had come.

That was where Roxana was. Of course, there was no way she would be in danger because she couldn’t avoid such a small fire.

But he couldn’t figure out what was going on with the sudden intruder alarm.

So he had to go back to Roxana first.

Unlike a few years ago, this intruder alarm was real, and an outsider with a weapon appeared in front of him.

“Get out of the way!”

Jeremy dodged the flying weapon and quickly struck the vital point of the person in front of him.

Normally, he would have played with them for a longer time, but he didn’t have time for that now.

The only thought filling his head was that he had to go to Roxana quickly.

However, he was held back because so many people quickly gathered and blocked his way.

Clang! Clang!

Around him, intruders and Agrigent’s soldiers were intertwined, spraying blood.

At that time, a red blizzard swept in front of his eyes.

Everyone stopped moving for a moment at the blood-colored afterimage that crossed over their heads and instantly covered their vision.

Jeremy was the first to realize that it was not a blizzard.

He quickly turned his head in the direction where Roxana’s butterflies [Roxana’s signature weapon/ability] were flying.

But before Jeremy could take his next action, the space in front of him distorted and a huge illusion unfolded.
