Chapter 2: 2

As soon as she climbed the underground stairs, her steps, which were full of hesitation, became as light as a feather. And she began to step two or three steps at a time.

By the time she got out of the old tower without looking back, her mind was so clear that she even forgot the name Altair.

The awkward moment when Altar tried to call her just as she closed the iron gate was no longer her concern.

“Haah…… but, what should I do now?”

Fay rested her hands on her knees for a while outside the tower, holding her breath. The spiral staircase leading to the basement was so long that she was gasping for breath.

The old tower where Altair lives is inside the Imperial Palace, but it is located completely away from the other buildings. For some reason, no one passed by except for a couple of guards who are holding back their drowsiness, and the surrounding area is all flat soil.

Apparently, there is no carriage because Fay had sneaked out of the mansion to meet Altair.

“Phew.”

Fortunately, there is a side gate near the old tower for servants to enter and exit.

After a while, Fay realized that there was no way to stay still, and trudged out of the gate, wiping the dripping sweat with her dress sleeve.

‘Huh? Dress?’

Fay, who was walking along the inner fortress, stopped at a long bridge.

She noticed that she was wearing a dress. She checked her outfit, starting with her wrists wrapped in white frills.

She wore a navy blue cloak over a dark blue velvet dress with white frills. She also had large sapphire-studded earrings hanging from her earlobe, and her peculiar pale green hair seemed to float like a weightless balloon.

It was only after she had checked everything that she realized who she was and where she was.

The country she lives in is an empire called Brimpé, and the city is Tighalst, the imperial capital surrounded by fortresses. And she herself is Fay, the new head of the Marquis of O’Belle, a descendant of the fallen aristocracy of Brimpé, also known as the ‘Descendants of the Fairy King Oberon.’

What should I do with this?

Fay, who accurately defined herself, began to walk again, feeling an indescribable absurdity and a strange emptiness.

Fortunately, the memory of ‘Fay’ remained in her head. So the road to O’Belle’s mansion in Tighalst wasn’t that difficult.

However, how much this memory would help her was a different matter.

After walking for a while, Fay finally reached the O’Belle’s mansion after the orange sky had completely turned indigo blue. She ran through the mansion gates, brushing her messy hair.

It is a family that has already fallen into decline after René’s death. The mansion, which was as grandiose as a palace, exudes a gloomy atmosphere like an empty can.

No maids came to greet her, and the O’Belle’s garden, famous for being the most beautiful in the capital, had already lost its reputation and was filled with an eerie atmosphere.

There are only two people living in the mansion of the family that has fallen.

“You went to the Imperial Palace again.”

As soon as she passed through the garden and entered the entrance hall, a man greeted her with a voice full of displeasure.

As the voice lingering in her memory pierced her eardrums, Fay frowned.

That man is like an angel born from a pure white snowball. Looking at him from any angle, there is no other way to describe him than pure white.

Soft bangs, big cat-like eyes, smooth skin, sharp nose, and red lips.

He is so pure and handsome that anyone who sees him for the first time will mistake him for a messenger sent by God.

“Fay Le O’Belle. Why are you being so pathetic?”

The man’s name is ‘Denev La O’Belle’, leaning against the wall in the entrance hall where a single candle has not been lit, and looking down at Fay with his arms crossed.

He is the third target character in the game.

 

***

 

Fay Le O’Belle had only one family from the very beginning. Her parents died early, and the only one she relied on was her twin sister, René de O’Belle, and it was the same for René.

However, as time passed, the relationship between the two slowly changed like a water-soaked paper that could tear at any moment.

It was difficult to pinpoint exactly when that happened, but Fay often thought that the starting point was when René picked up her ‘new brother’ without consulting her as if picking up a cat.

If only she hadn’t brought that head-to-toe white boy to the capital five years ago.

“……Denev.”

Fay carefully called him. It’s been almost ten years since they lived together, but she still finds it awkward to call his name.

A new brother brought in by her twin sister.

But he was never Fay’s brother.

“I told you not to go to the Imperial Palace. The Crown Prince will never let you off the hook.”

His grin was so beautiful that it felt like a luxury to read the emotions contained within.

Denev La O’Belle. I managed to run away from Altair but bumped into this man instead. Denev is several times more troublesome than Altair.

Sixteen years ago. It was the year René was eight years old.

She had just awakened with the power of a fairy and was on her way from the capital to Fairy Tail in O’Belle province to learn how to use her powers in earnest. At that time, Fay was still in the capital and René was alone.

Tired of her long journey, René got down to a small town and walked down the street to get some fresh air. The village was very small and shabby, and it was full of dirty energy that only René could feel.

There was a child in tattered clothes who was at the mouth of the narrowest alley there.

“Why are you here?”

René asked the boy. When she first saw him, she thought that an angel had come down to this world. That much, the child was illuminating the dark place with pure white.

The pure white boy held his knees tightly and kept his guard up. But, as if hoping someone would talk to him, he blinked his hazy eyes quickly.

“I ran away.”

“You ran away? Why? What is your name?”

“I don’t know.”

“Do you live here?”

“I don’t know.”

Seeing the boy repeatedly saying, “I don’t know” no matter what the question is, René tilted her head with a puzzled look.

You don’t want to answer? Then I can’t ask more.

“I miss my family, mom, dad, my younger sibling[1]……”

[1] The gender is not mentioned by the Author.

Instead, the boy brought up another story. His voice as he mumbled to himself was clear to René’s ears. The boy crouched down completely, burying his face between his knees. He looked like he was holding back his tears.

“But I can’t see them anymore. No matter how much I run away, I can’t meet them.”

“Really?”

“Yeah…… I don’t know what to do now.”

“Then come with me.”

“Huh?”

The white boy raised his head, and then he saw a girl with pure white hair just like his, standing there with a smile on her face. The boy thought she looked like an angel who came down from heaven.

The girl crouched down and grabbed her own hair.

“Look, we have the same hair color.”

“Yes.”

“So you can be my brother! I’ll decide your name and where you’ll live.”

“……”

“I’ll be your family.”

The boy was named ‘Denev La O’Belle’ by René and has been living under the same roof with the O’Belle sisters until now.

Seeing the eight-year-old young lady carelessly introducing a stranger as a new member of her family, there was strong opposition from the vassal families. As such, Denev was not officially registered in Marquis O’Belle’s family.

Renee was truly sorry for not being able to make Denev her real family, but Denev considered it to be a good thing. Because if he is a stranger, he can marry her. It was the joy of his childish desire.

For this reason, René would always introduce him by the surname ‘O’Belle’, but in fact, he is just ‘Denev’ without any title.

However, those around him should have always treated Denev as an O’Belle because of René’s stubbornness. There was, of course, Fay as well. But she never truly considered Denev as her family.

“It’s ridiculous. Did you think the crown prince would look at you because you have the same face as her…..?”

Denev snorted in annoyance. In the game, he took the position of René’s younger brother, and he is a character that is often referred to as a yandere[2].

[2] The original text is 복흑 which means: A person who is white (good) on the outside but dark (evil) in the heart.

A character who is a gentle sheep in front of René, but becomes a cruel and cold-hearted madman in the back. 

He was a pure boy who had only seen René since he was young, and it was obvious what kind of character he would have become now that she died.

“Stupid, arrogant, and crazy.”

He did not hesitate to reveal his true nature, at least to Fay. There was a clear reason.

“Did you kill René just for this?”
