Chapter 41

“….”

Silence flowed.

Just for a moment.

When I was momentarily at a loss for words at the rebellion level that was worse than I expected.

Leon, who had walked one step closer, laughed with a “ha, ha.”

“It’s already annoying that they told me to come to the main castle urgently, and of all people, you’re here to greet me.”

It was a truly viciously disgusted look.

“And now this ridiculous ‘dear brother’ nonsense. I feel like I’m going to vomit everything in my stomach, so cut the pathetic act.”

A young man a head taller than me acting menacingly with eyes that showed disgust to the bone was quite threatening to experience.

So I decided to smile first.

“Got it.”

“…What?”

I didn’t forget to switch to informal speech mode since he said he hated the act.

“Hi, Leon.”

“What the hell are you doing right now…. Ha.”

Leon looked me up and down with incredulous eyes.

Why.

You told me not to put on an act, you bastard!

…Unlike my desire to shout that, I just smiled.

He couldn’t hit me just for smiling annoyingly.

‘…He couldn’t, right?’

I suppressed my desire to step back and clasped my hands together.

My hands trembled slightly without me realizing it.

Leon Frazier’s eyes seemed to sweep over my hands for a very brief moment.

“Damn annoying.”

Leon Frazier spat out a short curse and swiftly turned his body, striding toward the castle.

Several people who appeared to be Leon Frazier’s dedicated servants hurriedly followed behind him.

“L-Leon!”

Not expecting that yellow-bellied bastard to leave like that, Lisian, who had been observing me with strange eyes the whole time, raised his voice.

Leon shouted angrily.

“Brother, just come inside too! There’s no point in dealing with that kind of fake act, it’ll just ruin your mood!”

As Leon Frazier stormed into the castle, silence immediately enveloped us.

On the outside, I was getting cramps in my mouth from pretending to smile.

And inside.

‘That guy is really a nasty bastard.’

I was cursing that Leon Frazier bastard.

Well, yeah.

is like that.

Originally, when Coriko starts, she does struggle a bit because of the cold Frazier Grand Ducal House people.

But that was just about it.

Just by choosing a few dialogue options well, the Grand Ducal House people would quickly open their hearts to the female protagonist.

But me?

Just a few words and they’re ready to open the gates of hell for me. Damn it.

I felt newly sorrowful about Tulia’s position.

But I couldn’t cry. There was another affection level target in front of me.

“Brother Lisian.”

Clear silver hair that caught the sunlight turned toward me with a swish.

“Would informal speech be more comfortable for you too, Brother?”

Lisian Frazier’s eyes were an early spring light green color.

They’re the same green shade, so why does Tulia’s feel like poison while his feels clean like a sprout?

‘It’s probably because he’s officially a kind personality.’

Lisian Frazier slowly opened his mouth.

“Ca-call me wha-whatever is co-comfortable for you.”

An angelic appearance.

The essential element for ‘s true ending, and the real male lead who serves as the catalyst for Coriko’s entry into this Grand Ducal House.

He suffered from a stuttering condition.

“Yeah. Lisian. It’s nice to see you after so long.”

He was the only male protagonist who had no hostility toward Tulia.

* * *

“Miss Tulia. You’ve returned.”

“Yeah. Lunch is….”

When I couldn’t finish my sentence and started coughing, worry appeared on the assistant butler’s face.

“I thought you shouldn’t be exposed to the cold wind after all, your cough seems to have gotten worse. Please wait, Miss. I’ll call the personal physician right away.”

“Mm-hmm.”

My head maid Adel was away, and though invisible, the assistant butler tactfully didn’t ask anything.

Maybe Ruk Kelfosher had already calculated even this when assigning people?

‘Ruk Kelfosher said he feels guilty about Adel.’

I don’t know what kind of guilt, but looking at it now, he’s a good older brother.

I wanted to dig deeper into their relationship, but my head really felt hotter than before, so I lay down on the bed and covered myself with the blanket.

As I rolled up in the blanket and curled up my body like I had yesterday and today, I heard a welcome sound.

Ding!

[System] Coins acquired!

It seemed coins came in again as I started taking care of my sick body.

I laughed out loud.

However, since I had no strength in my body, my laughter came out somewhat faintly.

I suddenly had this thought.

Hadn’t my cold, which was gradually getting better, worsened again from being exposed to the cold wind?

Coins came in when I took care of my sick body again.

“Then….”

If I stayed sick and took moderate care of my body, wouldn’t coins accumulate on their own?

If I put those in the benefit bank and steadily raise my stats later….

“Phew.”

A sigh escaped.

I’m not some self-harm scammer, but I’ve become this scheming….

‘Let’s not become that much of a human scumbag….’

I postponed that method as a last resort for emergencies and closed my eyes for now.

I must have been quite excited despite pretending otherwise about the stability of Grandfather embracing and protecting me.

The hatred and disgust from my ‘siblings’ that I was facing after so long felt particularly unpleasant.

I’d get used to it in a day anyway.

People quickly become numb to things they experience tediously.

As always.

“…Miss, young lady…”

“Please take your medicine…”

“…The fever is quite high…”

When I vaguely woke from sleep, my personal physician and assistant butler were busily checking my condition.

My head felt like a ball of fire, so my fever had definitely risen quite high.

Even in the midst of this, bitter medicine flowed into my mouth, and a cold wet towel was carefully placed on my forehead.

Even with my eyes closed, I could feel the thick feather blanket and the warm heat from the fireplace.

That’s right.

When I was Han Ina, there was no one to do these things for me, was there?

Clink!

Clink!

So being Tulia now is much better.

I listened distantly to the sound of coins coming in and slowly closed my eyes, drifting off to sleep.

* * *

“I heard there was some commotion with Tulia when you arrived yesterday.”

The next morning.

At the dining table decorated cheerfully with flowers and grass.

Among the servants moving about busily but quietly, Viscount Lilius spoke up.

The younger of the marquis house’s twins.

Leon Frazier answered in an indifferent voice.

“It wasn’t quite a commotion. Uncle.”

“Tulia, that thing must have gotten on your nerves again.”

A thorn-like voice popped out of Aubrey’s mouth.

Enough to make the twins, who had been indifferently watching champagne being poured into glasses, simultaneously shift their gazes.

“Madam.”

Viscount Lilius cautioned in a low voice.

Meanwhile, Aubrey, who had lost a lot of weight, had a sharp chin and hollow cheeks, no longer exuding the elegant atmosphere she once had.

Leon Frazier appropriately shifted his gaze.

He had already heard about Aubrey’s precious son, Tedrick.

Something about being banished after incurring Grandfather’s wrath.

But why Tedrick was banished to that castle where Tulia originally lived was unclear.

‘I heard it was actually an abandoned warehouse that only had the form of a castle.’

This was something both Lisian and Leon Frazier had learned belatedly after coming here.

“But, dear!”

Despite Viscount Lilius’s mediation, Aubrey showed no signs of stopping.

“That Tulia is only causing family discord even though her brothers have come! As if she has no proper upbringing…!”

“She, she didn’t cause, d, discord.”

That’s when it happened. At Lisian’s voice, Aubrey’s angry gaze moved.

Her bloodshot eyes held an indiscriminate aggressiveness.

“What did you say?”

“I said she didn’t cause discord. Aunt.”

Leon Frazier’s somewhat rough voice rang clearly through the dining room, speaking for his brother.

Both Lisian Frazier and Leon Frazier were tall, taking after their father, Marquis Aster Frazier.

Lisian Frazier, with his angelic appearance and pure white aura, however…

Had the major weakness of stuttering.

Thanks to this, despite his perfect physique with his grown height, broad shoulders, and moderately trained muscles, there was something that made him seem somehow underestimated.

However, Leon Frazier was a bit different.

A more robust build than his brother.

Perhaps because of his dark hair, he had a more wicked, raw atmosphere.

The type who, once angered, would lose his mind and snap his opponent’s jaw.

“…”

When Leon Frazier’s eyes looked straight at Aubrey, only then did Aubrey quietly shift her gaze.

“…I see. This aunt must have been mistaken.”

Normally, Aubrey would never have provoked these twins, especially Leon Frazier.

But lately, Aubrey had been living a nightmare-like existence.

Her hostility toward Tulia was already burning red-hot like toward a blood enemy.

Above all, everyone in the Frazier Grand Duchy knew that the relationship between these twins and Tulia was the worst.

Aubrey suppressed her anger and spat out.

“It’s not just once or twice that Tulia has shown no manners. How fortunate that you two are so understanding…”

“Yes? Aunt?”

Suddenly, Aubrey’s words stopped short.

All the Fraziers seated around the dining table, and even the servants who had been busily attending to the meal, stopped their gazes toward the figure entering through the entrance.

Pink hair elegantly groomed as if touched by palace ladies-in-waiting.

And light green eyes with a strangely sharp gleam.

Perhaps because of her upturned eye corners, Tulia Frazier had something off-putting about her even when smiling brightly.

Especially in Aubrey’s eyes.

‘That crazy bitch!’

In Aubrey’s eyes, she looked exactly like a monster walking over with the intention of devouring her and Tedrick whole.

“It seems like it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other…”

Tulia Frazier, who had never once sat at the same dining table as the twins since Marquis Aster Frazier left.

She walks boldly toward the dining table with a bright smile.

“Were you talking behind my back? Again?”
