Haunted Duke’s Daughter

Chapter 112

Lilia frowned and turned to Tina. Tina looked at this one too and looked right in the eye. From where Tina is also leaning her neck, she doesn’t know the details.

– Sakura. You know something?

– Huh? Uh… Sorry, I’m a little confused too…… If Keith’s brother, I mean, this guy… Er……

Apparently Sakura is confused too. However, they still know what it is. Then you should ask later. Now first, I turned to Keith.

“Come on. So!

Broso twisted Keith’s arm up. Keith screams and Broso kicks Keith in silence. Keith, who fell to the ground, watched Broso in such incredible ways.

Broso is still silent. Just stare quietly at Keith. Keith stood up clutching his fist and finally glanced at Tina and Lilia before running away. After dropping it off, Lilia and Tina turned to Broso.

“Um…”

When Tina spoke, Broso strayed from his face. That’s all I can’t say anymore. Tina gets annoyed. Lilia sighed small and said to Broso.

“Let’s go back to the inn. Broso, I need you to tell me what’s going on.”

Broso did not wander around for a while, but eventually nodded heavily.

Return to the inn and head to your brother’s room. My brother, who welcomed the three of them, had a very surprising look on his face, but I guess he immediately perceived the situation, laughing bitterly and letting the three into the room.

Four people sit around a round table. Broso borrowed his brother’s baggage and brewed tea, handing it out to the three of them.

“I’m sorry. Well, I wonder where we should start…”

My brother started thinking about putting his arms together, but soon Broso shook his head. In front of his neck tilting brother, Broso largely took off his helmet.

He was a burning red-haired young man. Broso opened his mouth, trying to say something, but immediately he gave a distressed look and closed his mouth.

“Don’t force it.”

My brother slapped Broso on the shoulder and Broso dropped his shoulder.

“Broso’s got a little bit of a throat shot. I can’t talk. There’s nothing you can’t do if you can’t, but they say it can cause severe pain. So don’t push me too hard.”

“Okay. So, are you sure Broso is that boy’s brother named Keith?

Lilia listens and my brother throws his gaze at Broso. Broso nodded slowly.

“Why does Keith hate nobility so much by then”

“Before that…… Mr. Tina. How far do you know?

Tina, who was abruptly told the story, answers with a firm voice, while surprised.

“Actually, I don’t really know either. Because Keith hated nobility from the time we met…… When I found out I was a baron, they called me a traitor.”

I’m sorry I hid it, but Tina laughs at herself. My brother nodded with a difficult look, well.

“Well, what. It’s not that hard to talk about. It won’t take much longer. Except it’s a pretty sick story.”

That’s how my brother started talking slowly.

Broso and Keith were born in this town and lived without particular deprivation, although they were civilians. Apparently, the friendliness between the two was famous in the area. He said his brother trained his body so that he could protect his brother, and his brother admired such a brother.

One day, Broso fell in love with his noble daughter. Their name is Frigia Lester. This town is a noble lady ruling Count Lester’s territory. She saw Frigia singing a song in the garden and was attracted. A housemaid named to a senior nobleman and a civilian Broso. Naturally, it’s love that can’t possibly come true.

It was just a thought I couldn’t get rid of. He applied when the Count Lester family began recruiting servants to come any closer. A civilian man could not have been hired by nature, but only Broso was hired in a brief interview. I was more than happy then, and it was also the brightest period of my life to date.

“You should have suspected a little there.”

My brother groans, and Broso nods.

“Hey, hey, Lilia. Is it that uncommon for civilians to be hired?

Tina reluctantly asks, Lilia explains.

“You hardly have one. Senior noble servants are mostly junior nobles.”

“That’s right. Title, in the case of lower aristocracy, it’s work. Children who do not plan to succeed in their work are often servants of senior aristocracy. I can trust you more than the civilians. It just doesn’t mean this is absolute. The Ardis, for example, are not so committed. However, we will conduct a thorough background check.”

My brother turned his gaze to Broso and immediately returned him to Lilia and Tina.

“In Broso’s case, there didn’t seem to be a background check on it either. I don’t know much about it either, but Frigia Lester told Count Lester she wanted to hire Broso. That is how Broso was to work as a servant of the Count Lester family, treated exclusively by her from Frigia’s wishes”

Every day since then has been happiness itself. Because I can be on the side of people all the time. Frizia also had a peaceful day without imposing any challenges. I could get a break from time to time and go home to my parents, and at those times Keith and I played late at night.

The life was just short.

One day, Broso was summoned to a private room in Frizia. Until now, Frigia had only given some servants permission to enter the private room. For that reason, I finally entered Friggia’s private room feeling that I was trusted too.

Frigia was smiling and preparing her tea. Broso hastily tried to take his place, but Frigia refused to do so.

And Frigia said. He wants you to drink it. Broso drank it without any doubt, drank it up, and rolled around in pain.

Struck by a slight severe pain that burned his throat, Broso desperately asked for help, but Frigia was quiet, just staring at Broso with an emotionless face. Eventually what Broso saw just before he lost consciousness was Frigia’s face with an abusive grin and a trance look.

“And when he realized, Broso was detained and kicked out of the mansion for just a brief cure, he said. It’s a rumor, but Frigia Lester is a man who’s happy to hurt the irresistible.”

“You’re a shitty human being.”

Lilia tells me to throw up. And then I realized that Sakura was quiet.

– Sakura. What’s wrong?

– Hmm? Oh, never mind. Hey, no, it’s amazing, ’cause I’m just annoyed.

That sawdust voice was something that made even Lilia’s spine cold. Unexpectedly pulling his cheek, he says to Sakura.

– That’s unusual. I can’t believe you said that.

– Kind of. I just remembered the one I didn’t want to remember. I don’t think there’s actually a fucking gami kind of guy.

– Fucking gami?

– Uh… Never mind.

Sakura laughed as she deluded, and finally took her insurance out of that voice. I’m a little concerned about the fucking gami Sakura said, but I’m in the middle of a conversation, so I turned my mind back on my brother.

“What happened to that Frigia guy?

Tina listened, and her brother said with his eyes down.

“I’m not doing anything. I still live normal.”

“Can’t you get him…?

“I can’t.”

When Lilia answered, Tina circled her eyes in surprise.

“That’s right. I can’t, because I’m a senior nobleman, even though I’m a Count. Testimony alone cannot catch you. All these stories are from Broso. Not publicly known.”

“Who’s around?

“No one tries to get involved by advancing to higher nobility. That means we’re cute. I hope you don’t blame him too much for this. We all have families.”

If this were a problem between the nobles, they would have looked into it in more detail., or, if anyone in a righteous aristocracy knew this early, they might still have looked into it in detail. But Broso was a civilian, and he didn’t even have a chance to find out about this. It’s all about the past.

“This is on Broso. Sounds harsh, but now you can’t do anything about it. Besides, few people are as human as Frizia, but if we talk like that, we still have it.”

My brother’s gaze turns to Lilia. Lilia stared straight back, not fleeing that gaze. My brother smiled thinly and gave me a satisfied look somewhere.

“Does Keith also know about this story?

Tina listened and my brother and Broso nodded at the same time.

“You hate Keith’s nobility from here. At first it seemed to be a hatred of the Frigian individual, but it seemed to have grown to the Count Lester family and even a hatred of the nobles who would not try to find out anything”

“Whatever it takes to get to Count Lester’s house, it would be odd to hate other, know-nothing aristocrats”

When Lilia looked at Broso, Broso lowered his head with no expression.

“Broso seems to have spoken a few times too, but Keith doesn’t seem to be convinced. It’s all up to Keith. It would be unpleasant for both of us to have nothing to do with it, but enjoy it.”

“I’m fine”

Tina nodded, and I’ve seen Lilia there. Lilia, who somehow understands why, says it with a slightly flashy look while understanding.

“I’ll do good.”

“Ha. Well, that’s enough.”

My brother smiled and said so, well, he stood up. Apparently, that’s the end of the story. Lilia also rises and heads with Tina to the door. Lilia stopped as she tried to leave the room.

“Broso, can I ask you one thing?”

Looking back to Broso, speak up. Broso nodded as he tilted his neck.

“Do you resent Frigia?

Broso stopped moving for only a moment, but immediately shook his head with a sad grin. Even if you stare into his eyes, all you have there is a sad color. Lilia lay down her eyes and quietly left the room.

“Lilia”

My brother turned up as soon as I got out.

“You got a second?

“Yes. Tina, can you wait in my room?

“Yeah.”

Lilia turned her gaze to her brother after she saw Tina enter Lilia’s room. My brother put his gaze around him and then whispered to Lilia.

“Don’t you dare touch Lester.”

“Yes, I don’t mean to either”

When Lilia responded instantly, her brother sighed in relief while seeming only a little surprised.

– You really don’t do anything, do you?

– I won’t. If I can handle this, your brother will already have.

Lilia doesn’t know everything about her brother’s personality. Still, that’s all I can say. My brother said he was a rare and righteous man for a nobleman. I guess that’s why I hated Lilia all I wanted now.

“Has your brother done nothing?

When I asked him to try it out, my brother showed only a slightly lost bare gesture, but he further dived into his voice and told me.

“I replaced Aldis and Lester’s maid. If there’s anything in that mansion, you’ll find out soon enough.”

“You’ve done something thoughtful.”

“Seemed rather reluctant though. I was forced to. It’s the Count’s house.”

My brother laughed cold and Lilia laughed with pleasure.

– I wonder if this is a blood muscle after all.

Sakura was sighing like she was frightened, but Lilia decided not to listen.
