Chapter 13: 13

Grrr.

Before I could step in, a mediator as powerful as myself intervened.

Alan, who was watching his sons quietly, shook his head softly.

The fangs protruded through the gaps of his lips, perhaps because he was about to turn into a black leopard.

A single cry did not relieve the tension, but the following words put an end to the brotherly fight.

“Isn’t Lily still eating?” 

Pedro and Hugo turned off their battle mode like a deflated balloon. 

Alan waited for Pedro to sit down again, and then spoke as if it was quite obvious.

“Both of you give up. I’m meeting the Carnival Committee with Lily today.”

‘What, what did he say?’

I couldn’t help but be confused.

I don’t know what the committee does, but if they can meet the duke, they’re probably high-ranking people. 

And they’ll find out if I’m a princess or not, more accurately than this obsessed family!! 

Alan held my hand like a baby, whether he knew what I felt or not.

“Ah, it would be good to hand over the option to Lily. With these tiny hands, choose a gladiator who will wear the Bauner emblem this year. It would be pretty fun.”

How could… it’s getting worse and worse. I’ve never seen a gladiator fight, how do I choose who’s going to go?

“Then what about tomorrow? Father, are you going to keep Lily to yourself?”

Pedro didn’t like that Alan could monopolize his youngest sister, rather than Alan passing on important things to his daughter.

“Isn’t that obvious? Lily likes me the most.”

“What are you talking about, Father? Lily has liked me the most since 10 years ago, right? When I tickled her with my tail, she laughed the brightest.”

“I’m sorry, but it’s all wrong. Lily fell asleep fastest when I gave her my introductory magic. Proof that she’s most comfortable with my voice.”

And what if they ask, ‘Lily, which one of us do you like best?’ For me, it’s a fake family that will break up after 4 years anyway.

“Lily, who do you like the mo…”

Ah, as expected.

“What about we split the time?”

Before Pedro’s question was finished, I changed the topic first.

I couldn’t help but laugh at myself when I said, ‘Let’s all play together!’

I needed to investigate the original protagonist, but I couldn’t let the surveillance tripled.

“It is divided into morning, afternoon, and night, and one person plays each time. It’s kind of like catching a tail. Hehe…”

“This will give us some time. What do you think, Lily?”

“Lily, who do you want to play with first?”

…I didn’t expect this. Pedro and Hugo raised their voices again saying I should play with them first.

I glanced at the two, then picked up the napkin and ripped it into three pieces and held it out.

My brothers, who were fighting nervously, and my father, who was always relaxed, gathered their attention to my hand.

There were long napkins, medium length and short napkin hem in the clenched hand.

It was the fairest way in the world.

“Pick! The longest napkin is the first.”

After a while, an unexpected person took first place.

***

“The knight’s order under the direct control of the Duke consist only of wolf beasts.”

It was Pedro who drew the longest napkin.

Perhaps they didn’t expect that he was going to win first place, so Hugo couldn’t control his expression, and Alan lowered his head.

Pedro took me outside with as much joy as both of them combined.

The weather was quite warm.

“The mission is, you know, escorting father’s carriage. Other than that, sometimes we go out to subjugate the evil spirits.”

Pedro took off his shirt and swung his muscular arms.

He was always in great shape. His coffee-colored skin shone with a golden glow in the light of sunlight, and his muscles boasted perfect shape with no soft corners.

There were wolf tattoos that continued all the way to the shoulder and forearm.

We decided to visit the garrison.

It was me who said I wanted to go there.

It was necessary to familiarize myself with the faces and abilities of the knights in advance before I could escape from the mansion.

“If I take you there, everyone will love it. Because wolves like things that are small and soft.”

With a smile, Pedro prepared to leave.

‘But… Why are we doing this here?’

I tilted my head. The garrison was far from the castle because it also served as a fortress.

Of course, I thought he was going by horse-drawn carriage, but instead of going to the stables, Pedro came out to a wide open space and hung a cloak long enough to be dragged to the ground.

“Pedro, it’s too dangerous for Lily.”

Alan took my hand and scolded Pedro.

Pedro said, ‘Huh?!’ and rebelled violently, tying the cloak knot tightly.

“Father, in return for playing together, you decided not to meddle in how we play!” 

Alan drew the shortest napkin. Then, he lit the napkin piece on fire, saying, ‘I’ll pull it out again.’

It was a command, not a request.

Hugo did not yield even if he could have died, but Pedro agreed to put Alan in as a spectator.

The stubbornness of an old man over 100 years old could never be broken.

Alan shut his mouth in disapproval.

It was a chance he got, so he seemed to not want to be kicked out for meddling.

“Is it because it’s in front of you, Lily? I’m a little nervous.”

Pedro smiled, and without hesitation unbuckled his belt.

And… he pulled his pants down!

“Oh, brother!”

I quickly turned my head just before his pants went down below his pelvis.

Is… this man a pervert? What the hell is this all about in broad daylight?!

“What’s wrong, Lily? Don’t you like this look?”

Again, what kind of line is this? What am I doing? I shouldn’t swear, should I?

“Tha, that’s because, it’s outside…”

“Lily, if you’re scared, just tell me.”

Alan, who was watching quietly, offered a strange consolation.

It was strange, so I slowly raised my head.

What came into view was not a naked man, but a black, huge wolf.

Along the direction of the snout, the coveted fur was waving gently.

The color of the fur faded, just like the wolf tattoos, so you could tell who it was.

“Brother… Pedro?”

Pfft.

The black wolf laughed. He snorted a hot breath from his moist nose and turned his bangs upside down. 

I couldn’t move from my place. Rather than being afraid… I was reluctant. I have never been friendly with canines.

Noticing a sign of hesitation, Pedro sat quietly in his place.

It seemed to reassure me with his whole body.

He seemed to say ‘It’s ok, I have fangs, but I’ll never reveal them to you.’

As I took a cautious step closer, Pedro tapped the back of my neck as if he was waiting.

His feet were lifted and fluffy fur covered his whole body.

It was the back of a wolf. 

I swam through the soft fur and sat with my legs spread out on either side of his spine.

Pedro pulled the elongated cloak knot with his teeth and secured my waist.

It looked like he was going to give me a ride to the knights order.

Then it wouldn’t even be dangerous. It’s like the nobles riding horses.

“Are you comfortable?”

“Uh… yes. I like it because it is soft.”

Intrigued, I looked all over the place. Alan still looked worried, but no more objection.

“…It’s dangerous.”

He took off his leather gloves with his teeth.

His black clothes dropped one by one, revealing a white body like white porcelain.

It was solid, yet perfectly proportioned.

His body swelled up along the smooth muscle line.

The black leopard I met again was still amazing. Although he was larger than a wolf, his straight limbs were elegant like a work of art.

He bit the finely folded uniform in his mouth. No matter how I looked in his eyes, he seemed to say,

‘If you drop her, I will kill you, Pedro.’

Isn’t he your own son…?

“Lily, hold on tight.”

Pedro whispered in a husky voice, as if scratching his vocal cords.

Then, a typhoon-like pressure swept over my body.

The black wolf ran like the wind. It was so fast that I didn’t even have a chance to scream.

I grabbed his fur and clenched my teeth.

The landscape in front of me became blurred, and the building of the duke’s mansion gradually disappeared.

After a while, the wall was visible.

Not an open door, but a wall of solid bricks.

“Brother?!”

That was not a gate! We were on our way to the wall! If we kept going like this, I think we were going to crash!

Even if I pulled his fur to stop him, Pedro rushed mercilessly as if he couldn’t see in front of him.

What, why? Once you rush, you can’t stop? Is he really a wolf, not a boar?

All of a sudden, the black wall came right before my eyes.

Without realizing it, I closed my eyes. There was a feeling of floating as if flying in the sky. Ascension…

‘Am I ascending? Can a liar go to heaven?’

I slowly opened my eyes.

The wolf’s claws dug through the cracks in the thick pile of stones and leapt with the sound of the wind.

Instead of flying, the wolf was climbing over the wall.

Behind me, I heard the sound of a black leopard chasing closely.

‘Everyone is climbing up. The weather is good. Ah, we’re going to jump now.’

Wait, we’re jumping? 

Boom!

The dust rose in a haze. After that, I don’t remember much. My soul was so engrossed that I didn’t know if I was dead or alive.

“We’re arrived.”

It was only after Pedro told me that we had arrived that I came to my senses.

The size under my hips shrank and the clenched fist caught black hair instead of animal fur.

Uhuuk, uhuuk.

I coughed because of the dust.

‘Is this brother naked now?’

I glanced worriedly, but fortunately, the long cloak covered Pedro’s important areas.

I thought he wore it because it was cold, but it turned out to be to prevent wind disturbance.

Unlike Pedro, who had a cloak rope wrapped around his waist, Alan quickly put on his uniform.

He adjusted the angle of one of the cuffs and then looked at me sternly.

“Lily, are you okay?”

I nodded eagerly.

Inside, I wanted to hit Pedro on the back, saying to give me a notice if he was going to run this fast.

“Come on, let’s go to the training ground! It will be fun! All my men are funny.”

Pedro walked away, wiggling the tail of a wolf that had not yet been put in.

It’s a knight’s order..

I shouldn’t have done this, but I had a strange expectation.

Everyone must be brave and dignified as if they came out of a fairy tale.

As I passed through the wide entrance, I heard a shout from afar.

Yes, the dignified knights were elegantly competing….

Woof woof! Kung kung! Woof woof, growl, kwang kwang kwang kwang kwang kkang kkang!

What a mess.
