The Way To Protect The Female Lead’S Older Brother [EN]: Chapter 86

“Is there something on my brother’s face?”

At that moment, a clear voice, like the chime of glass beads, echoed through the banquet hall.

Pandora snapped out of her thoughts and turned her head.

Silvia, who had been watching her for some time, came into view.

The moment their eyes met, Silvia wore a subtle expression of embarrassment.

“Or is there some other problem? You were staring at my brother so intensely.”

“Ah, no, I was just lost in thought….”

Pandora made an excuse with an awkward smile.

She was inwardly flustered by Silvia’s unexpected and sharp question.

“Oh, is that so?”

Silvia looked at Pandora and relaxed, as if relieved.

Then, she smiled brightly and said, “What I’ve noticed during the banquet is that the people of Hyperion seem to have a very firm sense of their own world.”

Pandora was at a loss for words at Silvia’s remark.

“The person who is absent right now also felt like someone from another world when I spoke with them earlier. But seeing Lady Hyperion so engrossed in her own thoughts, forgetting her surroundings, I find it amazing and amusing how much you resemble each other, perhaps because you are both from Hyperion.”

“Well….”

“You said earlier that Orca Hyperion was a special case, but from my perspective, the two of you are very similar.”

…Was that an insult?

Pandora felt as if she had been greatly insulted.

To be compared to someone like Orca. It was a very humiliating and shameful feeling.

However, Silvia was smiling so innocently that it was difficult to say anything.

Moreover, looking at that innocent face, it didn’t seem like she had said it with any bad intentions.

Cassius quietly called his younger sister from beside her. His tone was somewhat stern.

“Silvia.”

“Yes? Don’t you think so too, Brother?”

However, Silvia simply smiled brightly, as if she didn’t know why Cassius had called her.

To Pandora’s further dismay, Cassius did not deny Silvia’s words.

“That’s true, but it would be better to stop there. Depending on how it’s heard, it could be rude to the other person.”

“Oh my, really? I meant it in a good way. I thought it was a really cute and interesting trait. But if you were offended by my words, I apologize.”

“No… it’s alright.”

Pandora could only answer awkwardly.

She was clearly displeased, but Silvia’s words weren’t rude enough to warrant a complaint.

Moreover, with her apologizing like that, it was difficult to act petty.

Both Silvia and Cassius had such saintly appearances, which made it even harder.

However, Pandora’s mood remained uneasy.

She lowered her gaze, which had been fixed on Cassius, and resumed her meal.

The banquet felt strangely long.

‘Orca, what is he doing? Why isn’t he coming back quickly?’

Silvia looked at Pandora and secretly snorted with a smug look.

* * *

Orca left the banquet hall, clutching his stomach as he walked down the hallway.

When he explained his condition to a servant, they kindly directed him to the nearest restroom.

Orca expressed his gratitude and hurried on.

However, he wasn’t really experiencing intense abdominal pain and the urge to relieve himself, as he appeared to be.

His sharp silver eyes darted around alertly.

As expected, Cassius Fedelian was quick-witted, immediately sending someone to follow him.

However, Orca was a person specialized in secretly moving around in the Demon Realm, avoiding the eyes of its rulers.

He easily managed to shake off the people chasing him.

“That way has been suspicious since earlier.”

Orca stepped into the shadows to move, gazing at a distant, towering building.

It was where the annex was located.

For some reason, a strange energy seemed to be flowing from that place.

While tracking demons and living among them, Orca’s animalistic instincts had developed remarkably.

As a result of facing Silvia at the banquet, he was certain that she was not the owner of the Poison Butterfly.

Above all, Fedelian’s unique pure energy was not compatible with the Poison Butterfly.

At first, he suspected that she might be pretending to know nothing, acting innocent.

However, after talking to her a bit more, that didn’t seem to be the case.

“It’s that way!”

Oops.

Orca began to run, avoiding those who had already been sent after him.

As expected, his destination was the annex that stimulated his senses.

“As expected of the White Beast Master.”

I chuckled as I watched the video transmitted by the Poison Butterfly.

What I was seeing now was the scene inside the banquet hall.

I already knew from the book, but the White Beast Master, Orca Hyperion, was an incredibly handsome man.

His flamboyance far exceeded what I had imagined from reading the text.

His unique personality was even more extreme.

To compare himself to a flower.

No matter how well he knew his own beauty and how full of self-love he was, it wasn’t something he should say in front of the heroine.

Silvia’s bewildered face was so blatant that I almost laughed again.

It was also noteworthy that the person who visited with Orca was Pandora.

Her Hyperion-specific light blue hair was the same as Orca’s, but her eyes were black, in contrast to his.

Pandora was a striking beauty with a sexy and alluring aura.

And she was a supporting character in 〈Flower of the Abyss〉 who, like Roxana Agriche, coveted Silvia’s man.

In the story, she harbored feelings for Lyzak Gastor and envied Silvia, considering her a rival.

In addition, she was also a sister-in-law character who harassed Silvia under the guise of being Orca’s cousin, another male lead.

Well, of course, Silvia didn’t marry Orca, so she wasn’t a real sister-in-law, but that was just to describe her role.

In the novel, Pandora harassed Silvia in secret when Orca kidnapped Silvia and imprisoned her in Hyperion.

And since Hyperion was a family that dealt with demons, and the novel was rated 19+, wasn’t it?

As a result, the episodes in the Hyperion family involving Silvia, Orca, and Pandora were particularly extreme.

Roughly, they used the tentacles of demons to humiliate Silvia, and they tormented her by making her intoxicated with the pheromones of demons… or something like that.

Of course, even if Orca and Pandora did similar things, only Pandora was punished.

What Orca, the male lead, did to Silvia was all forgiven under the guise of love.

But seeing Orca’s face like this….

I couldn’t believe that he had done such crazy things in the novel with such a normal appearance.

Of course, his personality doesn’t seem very good now either, but even so, it seems to be within the range that can be understood as eccentric.

I focused my attention on the video, wondering if Orca might fall in love with Silvia in reality as he did in the novel.

But fortunately, Orca was talking to Silvia less and less as time went on.

Judging from his expression, it seemed like something was different from what he had thought, and he was disappointed.

I knew what the reason was.

It was because I had sent the Poison Butterfly to the place where Orca was being held.

So it wasn’t difficult to guess what he was thinking now.

Orca had seen my Poison Butterfly somewhere and came to Fedelian to find it.

I had flown the butterflies to the demon habitat outside Fedelian about twice to feed the Carnage Butterflies, and he must have witnessed it.

Orca seemed to have been expecting that Silvia might be the owner of the Poison Butterfly, but he was disappointed.

I knew how terribly persistent Orca could become when he fell in love.

Of course, as one of the male protagonists of the novel, he was described as a very attractive man, but a person who kidnapped, imprisoned, and humiliated a woman could not be normal.

So I thought it was fortunate that he had lost interest in Silvia.

But….

What is this again?

For some reason, I had been more concerned about Pandora than Orca since a while ago.
