This Life, I Will Become the Clan Head Episode 41

“Aaaah!”

I couldn’t help but cry out loudly as my nose stung and ached.

And from the shock, I collapsed right there on the spot.

“What, what the…”

Whatever had gloriously struck my face fell and bounced with thudding sounds.

It was a ball about the size of my face.

A leather ball that children often kick around and play with.

“Puhahahaha!”

As I stared blankly at the ball rolling away in disbelief, a familiar laughter pierced my ears.

“That damn little brat…”

Belesack was walking toward me, clutching his stomach and laughing.

Of course, behind him was Astaliou, stuck to him like a goldfish’s tail.

“Look at that sight! Puhehe!”

Belesack pointed at me with his finger.

I was frowning in anger when I felt something trickling down from my nose.

“No, nosebleed!”

The ball must have hit me properly because I ended up with a nosebleed.

Belesack, who had come right up to me, saw this and began laughing so hard he looked ready to roll around on the ground.

“Bl, blood…”

The timid Astaliou was startled and didn’t know what to do, just stammering while looking at the laughing Belesack.

“What the hell are you doing!”

I shouted angrily.

“Are you crazy! You damn little puppy!”

Heat rushed all the way to the top of my head.

“What? Little puppy?”

Belesack twisted his face menacingly, but I didn’t budge an inch.

As if that tiny thing making faces would scare me.

I couldn’t just take this lying down.

The ball had already rolled far away, and the only thing within my reach was the dirt on the ground.

Then I’ll have to use this.

I grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it right into Belesack’s eyes.

“Aaaaah! My eyes!”

It must have gotten in properly because Belesack clutched his face and groaned.

I brushed off my skirt and stood up, shouting triumphantly.

“Hmph! Serves you right!”

The ball must have hit me quite hard because the nosebleed still hadn’t stopped.

No matter how much I wiped, bright red blood kept getting on my hands, which was a bit scary, but I couldn’t show weakness in front of this bastard.

I was thinking of mocking Belesack even more as he screamed about his stinging eyes.

But then.

“Huh…?”

Something was wrong with my vision.

For a moment my sight wavered, and I saw multiple overlapping images of Belesack and the restless Astaliou beside him.

Was it because I got hit in the head?

Or because I lost blood?

Everything spun around before my eyes.

“Damn it!”

That’s why I couldn’t dodge Belesack’s hand as he pushed my shoulder hard with his tear-stained face.

Despite getting up so confidently, I had to fall on my bottom again.

“You, you!”

Belesack, not thinking about how he started it first and just fuming with anger, looked around.

And he spotted the wooden sword attached to Astaliou’s waist.

Though Astaliou wasn’t taking sword lessons yet, he carried it around as both a toy and for showing off.

But even if it wasn’t a real sword, a large wooden club was still a weapon.

“Give me that!”

“B, but…”

When Astaliou hesitated, Belesack reached out and pulled the wooden sword from his waist.

“You worthless Half-Baked!”

Belesack raised the wooden sword with all his might.

It looked like it would come crashing down any moment and break some part of my body.

Fine, go ahead and hit me.

I’ll make you regret it for a very long time.

I squeezed my eyes shut.

Then, something seemed to whoosh through the air, and Belesack let out a huge scream.

“Aaaaah!”

It was a scream on a completely different level from when I threw sand at him.

When I opened my eyes wide, Belesack was clutching his arm, and an unfamiliar wooden sword had fallen to the ground.

“Tia!”

The ones running toward me while calling my name loudly were the twins.

They must have been coming out after their sword lesson had ended.

Though it was quite a distance, the two who ran over quickly stood between me and Belesack as if blocking us.

“Tia, are you okay?”

Meylon carefully examined my face as I crouched down.

And the moment he saw my face, his eyes widened in horror.

“T, Tia! What do we do! Blood! Giliou!”

Meylon turned pale and called to Giliou, who was pointing his wooden sword at Belesack and Astaliou.

And when Giliou saw my blood-covered face, his eyes flipped.

“Belesack, you!”

Giliou’s hand holding the wooden sword trembled.

He gritted his teeth and tried to thrust the wooden sword toward Belesack, who was crying in pain while holding his arm.

“Stop it, Giliou.”

I said urgently.

I wanted to shout loudly, but I was too dizzy for that to work properly.

But fortunately, Giliou heard my small voice and immediately stopped his action.

And he quickly came to me.

“Tia, Tia…”

I grabbed Giliou’s sleeve and said.

“You can’t hit him…”

If you hit that bastard, if you beat him to death, then my side loses its justification.

Since there’s even blood involved, I need to extract everything I can from this situation.

But before I could say anything more, I gradually lost consciousness.

Surely they won’t beat up Belesack while I’m briefly unconscious.

Considering the twins’ usual personalities, they’re fully capable of doing that.

“You can’t do that…”

In the end, I leaned my head against Giliou’s chest and fainted.

* * *

“Tia! Tia!”

Giliou and Meylon’s faces turned pale.

Their hearts seemed to drop at the sight of Pirenthia’s small, white face covered entirely in red blood.

“You, Belesack you…”

Meylon said with terrifying eyes.

Belesack and Astaliou flinched and couldn’t say anything, avoiding Meylon’s angry gaze.

“Meylon! We need to get Tia to the clinic quickly!”

If Giliou hadn’t shouted like that at that moment, Meylon would have picked up the wooden sword that had fallen to the ground and beaten Belesack and Astaliou thoroughly.

Until they begged on their knees never to touch Pirenthia again.

Meylon glared at the two one last time, then helped support Pirenthia’s limp body against Giliou’s back.

“We have to go now!”

Giliou lifted Pirenthia onto his back and stood up, shouting.

Meylon also supported Pirenthia’s back with one hand and ran together.

“Damn… Tia is too light.”

Giliou, carrying his cousin sister on his back, muttered while biting his lower lip tightly.

Tears had already welled up in his eyes.

She was always bright and cheerful, sometimes even scary enough to seem like an older sister despite being younger.

Though she had a smaller body than her peers, Pirenthia lying helplessly on his back was too light and fragile.

Meylon’s face was already a mess of tears and snot.

“Belesack, I won’t let this go…”

Meylon said, grinding his teeth, seemingly thinking the same thing.

Why did Doctor Omari’s clinic feel so far away today of all days?

The servants and Lombardi officials who saw the twins crying and running while carrying Pirenthia stopped in their tracks, surprised.

But the two eleven-year-olds couldn’t even think to ask them for help, running with all their might, even drawing on their last reserves of strength, with the single-minded determination to get Pirenthia to the clinic.

“Doctor Omari!”

“Doctor! Tia is hurt!”

As soon as they finally reached the clinic, the twins shouted at the top of their lungs.

The startled Doctor Omari came running out from his inner research lab.

“What on earth happened…”

Seeing Pirenthia being carried unconscious and Shannet’s twins shedding tears, the doctor felt his heart drop.

“Please lay her down over here quickly.”

These were Shannet’s twins, who had the most influence among the family head’s four children, and Gallahan’s only daughter, who had become the talk of the capital lately.

Thinking that nothing must go wrong, Doctor Omari’s actions quickened.

The doctor first made the twins step back, then drew the curtain.

And carefully examined Pirenthia’s condition.

Her nose wasn’t broken, but there was some bruising, and there didn’t seem to be any other external injuries.

The nosebleed had already stopped.

Still, just to be safe, the doctor undressed Pirenthia and examined her thoroughly, then buttoned her clothes back up while letting out a small sigh.

There were no other problems; something had hit her nose causing a mild concussion, and she had temporarily lost consciousness due to losing a lot of blood.

Even during this, the intermittent sounds of the twins sniffling could be heard from outside the curtain.

The doctor tucked the blanket around Pirenthia properly and came out, opening the curtain.

“Is Tia okay?”

The twins, who had been sitting on another bed, hurriedly came over and asked.

“Young Lady Pirenthia will be fine. Please don’t worry too much.”

“Ah…”

“Thank goodness…”

Giliou and Meylon wiped their tears with the backs of their hands and felt relieved.

But that was only for a moment.

As the tension released, they soon burst into tears again.

“Phew…”

Doctor Omari sighed inaudibly and called a servant to relay a message.

And shortly after.

Bang-!

The sliding door of the research lab opened roughly with a loud noise.

Walking in with a rigidly hardened face was the head of Lombardi, Rulak.

Doctor Omari, who had been writing Pirenthia’s medical record and stood up in surprise, inadvertently looked at Rulak’s face and quickly bowed his head again.

Even though he had done nothing wrong, his heart pounded nervously.

That’s how terrifying the atmosphere of Rulak, who had come after receiving the message, was.

Even the twins couldn’t make a sniffling sound and stood quietly.

As Rulak walked in with his hands behind his back, the not-small treatment room felt completely filled.

“Is the child alright?”

“Yes, Young Lady Pirenthia should wake up without problems after resting a little…”

Doctor Omari answered quickly.

Rulak looked at his granddaughter lying unconscious on the bed.

His gaze also lingered on the small dress whose front was stained black with dried blood.

And not long after, Shannet arrived, slightly out of breath as if she had been half-running.

“Mother!”

“Waaaaah!”

The twins rushed into Shannet’s arms and burst into tears again.

“What on earth happened!”

Shannet asked while patting the twins’ backs.

“Well… *sniff* After sword practice ended, we were going to find Tia, and at the path to the training ground, Belesack was… Belesack was…”

“Belesack was hitting Tia with a wooden sword… *sob* So we ran over to save her. But Tia, Tia lost consciousness…”

“Hit her… with a wooden sword?”

Shannet asked in surprise.

She knew that Belesack disliked Pirenthia, but cousins hitting and fighting each other was completely different from swinging a wooden sword to cause injury.

“So we tried to hit Belesack back too… But Tia told us not to, *sob*!”

“Even while fainting, she told us several times not to hit Belesack… Such a kind Tia, and Belesack, waaaah!”

As if the overwhelming emotions from that time returned, the twins cried loudly again.

“Hmm.”

Shannet comforted the twins while watching Rulak’s expression.

It would be better if he flew into a rage instead.

When he stayed quiet like this, the outcome was usually worse.

Sure enough.

Rulak, who had been quietly listening to the twins’ story, commanded a servant standing nearby.

“Tell Biejie and Belesack to come to my study.”
