Side Story Chapter 7

* * *

“Sob, sniff….”

“Lady Coriko….”

When Coriko shed tears, the maid who had been watching over her hurriedly comforted her. Coriko eventually cried in the maid’s arms.

“Older Sister is, Older Sister is too scary….”

“Lady Coriko!”

The maid was startled and straightened Coriko’s shoulders.

“You must never call Lady Tulia ‘Older Sister’ outside!”

But Coriko only cried without answering. The maid asked with a sinking feeling.

“Surely, you didn’t call Lady Tulia ‘Older Sister’, did you? Right?”

“But…! The High Priest clearly said so. That I would enter as the bride of the Twin Young Masters…. Then we’re family, aren’t we? So why can’t I call her Older Sister?”

Coriko’s eyes were innocently clear and clean like a baby deer’s. Those lovely eyes held not even a trace of malice, which made the maid feel even more dismayed.

She resented the wicked villainess who had slapped such a pure and adorable young lady’s cheek.

“Lady Coriko. Lady Tulia is someone with high pride. She has a terrible reputation and cruel methods, so you must never try to match her….”

Coriko’s swollen cheek actually hurt terribly.

Moreover, seeing the maids so frightened and trembling, she gradually began to feel afraid.

Eventually, Coriko nodded her head while shedding tears profusely.

“But don’t be too disheartened. Surely when the Young Masters wake up and learn of Lady Coriko’s devotion, Lady Tulia won’t dare treat you carelessly.”

“Yeah….”

* * *

‘Sacred Tree, you bastard. Is this right?’

After driving Coriko away like that, I was in my own state of bewilderment.

Right now, I was literally in a ‘soul’ state. In that state, I was hovering around Tulia’s body.

If I wasn’t specifically inside Tulia’s body, Tulia would act wickedly on her own.

Like a robot that had already been programmed with execution commands.

But I could also control her directly.

For instance, just now, Tulia had ordered that a maid who accidentally spilled water drops on her dress should have both hands cut off immediately.

And commanded them to be brought stuck in a vase.

‘Really crazy Tulia.’

I was naturally shocked. I immediately entered Tulia’s body and roughly settled things by ordering confinement instead.

Tulia had no idea that I had intervened midway to change her actions.

‘I suppose the Sacred Tree takes care of that much.’

Anyway, since I could manipulate her actions when I entered Tulia, I could adjust the intensity of her evil deeds with this.

If it was fortunate, then it was fortunate.

Because Tulia without interference was literally a disaster sent from heaven itself.

‘Hmm…. But since Mother told me to be as wicked as possible, I should adjust the difficulty appropriately.’

It wasn’t that I was kind and soft, preventing Tulia’s evil acts.

‘But there’s no need to be unnecessarily cruel to others, right?’

Moreover, the ‘punishments’ that Tulia thought up were all grotesque, and I had no confidence I could handle them.

I came here to ward off bad luck, but it looked like I’d be getting trauma instead?

Once I roughly made this plan, I had the leisure to look around.

So what I came to see was exactly….

“Does this make any sense….”

Lisian and Leon, the two twins.

“….”

I observed the two handsome men lying side by side on the bed with a deflated expression.

‘Why did they make the twins into vegetative patients and cause such chaos?’

One was Lisian with his shimmering silver hair.

And the other was that Leon Frazier bastard who must have been fooling around somewhere.

‘Were these guys also Mother’s blood relatives, so there were limits to what the Sacred Tree’s magic could implement?’

I made a quite reasonable deduction.

So these two, a month ago.

Were swept up in divine power that exploded due to the Holy Nation’s mistake.

Because of that, they became vegetative patients and were barely clinging to life like this.

The Holy Nation didn’t want to antagonize the Frazier House. So as an apology, they sent a girl of matching age who was born with Oracle Power as a ‘misfortune-warding bride’.

That was Coriko.

In a way, it was a story similar yet different from the story.

Anyway, since the twins showed no signs of waking up, as Mother initially requested, I just needed to encounter the other two men.

Benjamin and Klaus.

“Tu, Lady Tulia. I’ve brought tea….”

At the voice heard from beside me, I shifted my gaze with an indifferent expression.

And then….

I walked over with clicking steps, holding the teacup.

“Seeing that you brought such cold water calling it tea, you must still find me laughable and easy to deal with.”

Splash.

“…!”

Coriko trembled after being doused with the tea water.

After being momentarily shocked by Tulia’s shattered personality, I had another thought.

‘Was the tea Coriko brought really cold water? I can feel the chill rising?’

Tulia in this world already had a personality that was trash itself, so what kind of audacity was it to bring cold water?

Was this the Female Protagonist’s courage?

It was admirable beyond measure.

Coriko even trembled and then firmly grasped Tulia’s skirt hem.

“Older Sister, you’re really going too far…!”

“Older Sister?”

I, no, no.

I decided to use out-of-body narration.

Right, so Tulia Frazier smiled.

She smiled so coldly that even I in soul state felt like I had entered a freezer.

On one hand, I thought Coriko was quite steadfast too.

No, was she stupid?

After getting slapped for calling her Older Sister, why was she calling her Older Sister again?

Just when I was even thinking I wanted to personally teach her how to prostrate flat before those in power….

“A commoner daring to call the legitimate granddaughter of a Grand Ducal House ‘Older Sister’ – I see you haven’t been beaten enough yet.”

“But, but I came in as the bride of the Young Masters Frazier…!”

“Which continent’s law calls a misfortune-warder a bride?”

“The Holy Nation definitely said so!”

“Is this the Holy Nation? No, this is the mansion of Grand Duke Frazier House. Here, my word is law.”

“Older Sister….”

“You can’t come to your senses till the end. Why, is your type popular these days? Do men like your kind of personality?”

Coriko’s face flushed bright red with shame.

“Insolent commoner.”

Tulia smiled coldly and struck Coriko’s shoulder hard as she passed by.

Then.

“You’re that thing’s personal maid?”

She walked toward the maid who was pressed against the wall with her head deeply bowed.

“Y-yes, Lady Tulia…”

Tulia looked at the trembling maid with an indifferent expression and said.

“Sell this wench.”

“Lady Tulia!”

“Older Sister Tulia!”

Screams erupted simultaneously.

“Please spare me, please spare me! Young Lady Coriko! Please help me!”

Tulia looked at the frozen Coriko and said quietly.

“If you dare climb above your station one more time, I’ll take away the bedroom I gave you and make you sleep in the stable. Understand?”

“…”

Coriko eventually ran out crying. Tulia sat on the sofa indifferently and trimmed her nails.

“A wench who doesn’t even know proper etiquette, so lowly, too lowly.”

And some time later. The butler approached with a pale face and reported.

“L-Lady Tulia.”

“What is it?”

“We’re in big trouble. Priest Coriko ran out saying she was going to see the High Priest, but the High Priest is at the Imperial Palace…”

Tulia made a demonic expression.

“So, she took Frazier’s carriage and headed to the Imperial Palace?”

The butler immediately fell to his knees and begged.

“It’s my fault. Young Lady. Please forgive me…”

“With Father and Grandfather both away on the Summer Continent, the house is truly in chaos…”

Hearing Tulia’s words, I was admiring the Sacred Tree’s bold omissions.

‘It somehow omitted the people who were difficult to implement and only created Coriko and the others. Amazing.’

Great selective focus, right?

Anyway, Tulia was a demon who ran wild even when superiors were present, but with no superiors around, she ran even wilder.

Moreover, she was a villain who was the complete opposite of the female lead.

Upon hearing that Coriko had entered the Imperial Palace using Frazier’s name, her eyes rolled back and she immediately had a carriage prepared.
