Chapter 10: 10

Author: LyraDhani

Even if this person has helped you, just because you don’t like your family name, you’re acting so impulsive.

 

‘Calm down, Daisy Liviatan. As long as you bear the name of your family, you shouldn’t look stupid.’

 

“Are you okay? If you were shocked by what happened a while ago, please feel free to tell me.”

 

While I was organizing my thoughts alone, Adelio asked me again with a worried face

 

“No, I am fine. Anyway…”

 

I saved my breath.

 

It wasn’t the first time that priest had been reported, so even if I said something, nothing would change.

 

If I tried to kick out the priest by revealing the name of Liviatan, I would lose my desired quiet haven.

 

‘Above all, if rumors spread that the esteemed daughter of Liviatan was harassed…’

 

The thought of causing trouble to the family made me dizzy.

 

Adelio took a step closer at my increasingly pale face, looked at my complexion, and spoke in a friendly voice as if consoling me.

 

“Don’t worry. I will take responsibility and hold the priest responsible for trying to do something bad to Daisy.”

 

“Thank you for saying that.”

 

How can you hold a priest who has a strong backup responsible?

 

I didn’t have expectations, but I smiled, thankful that he cared about me.

 

“So, you think I’m lying.”

 

“Because it’s something I’ve seen before.”

 

Adelio smiled affectionately at my words and nodded as if he understood.

 

“Then you can wait and see if it’s a lie or not.”

 

At the tone of anticipation, I glanced behind him.

 

The priest was knocked out by Adelio and then hit his head on the floor, fainted, and still hadn’t woken up yet.

 

‘Is he dead?’

 

Adelio smiled as he checked where I was looking.

 

“He’s not dead. He just fainted for a second.”

 

“…I wasn’t thinking that he was dead.”

 

As if he had read my thoughts, I hurriedly spoke out, but it felt even more awkward.

 

I turned away from the fallen priest, coughing for no reason, and looked at Adelio again.

 

‘As expected.’

 

Obviously, it was my first time seeing Adelio, but the feeling of familiarity hadn’t changed.

 

‘Familiarity? No, is it happiness?’

 

I wondered whether I should solve or hide the questions that kept popping up.

 

“I know this is a strange question…”

 

If I just keep thinking about it, it will increase the sadness in my heart.

 

“Yes, please feel free to ask.”

 

“Have we met somewhere before?”

 

“What?”

 

Adelio blinked as if bewildered by my question.

 

But seeing my serious expression, he also responded seriously.

 

“Unfortunately, today is my first day at work since I was sent here from the Central Temple.”

 

“Oh… I’m sorry.”

 

“No, it’s not something to feel sorry for.”

 

Adelio spoke kindly, but I couldn’t hide my red face that burned with embarrassment.

 

‘Yes, This is definitely the first time I see your face. I’m also confused with this, so I ask strange questions.’

 

My question sounded like a trick to continue the conversation, so I couldn’t get over my embarrassment easily.

 

As I fanned my hands enough to make a clattering sound to cool off the heat, he looked out of the hallway and said.

 

“I think the sun will set soon. If you go back too late, your family will be worried.”

 

“Ah.”

 

I had come out early, but the sun, which had been high in the sky, was already setting and turning into the sunset.

 

I couldn’t hide my regret and sighed quietly.

 

Instead of taking a break while avoiding the people who were bothering me, I felt like I was only getting more stressed out.

 

When I sighed, Adelio’s expression hardened as if following my emotions.

 

At that expression, I couldn’t control my emotion and ended up saying.

 

“I don’t want to go back.”

 

“…May I ask why?”

 

I paused for a moment at the careful question.

 

‘Would you believe me if I said I don’t want to go back to my Sisters because they are being nice to me?’

 

How would this person react if I said that it was strange that my Sisters who used to be so mean were now treating me kindly?

 

Those around me were busy rejoicing in our good relationship.

 

‘Rather, wouldn’t it be possible to get some advice from the point of view of someone completely unrelated?’

 

However, since I couldn’t show the faults of my family to other people, the words raised up to my throat did not come out easily.

 

“You don’t have to force yourself to tell me.”

 

Perhaps noticing my reaction, Adelio was considerate of me in a kind voice.

 

The stress I had received for a few days had already piled up like it was going to explode, but new stress had piled up on top of it.

I had to overcome the frustration alone because I couldn’t easily tell anyone and tried to endure it.

 

It was so difficult that I wanted to share my concerns with someone right away.

 

But I didn’t have a chance to do that because I didn’t have any friends, and Adelio appeared right when I was upset.

 

A person who could objectively look at the situation more than anyone else because he didn’t know the details of Liviatan princesses as a Holy Knight who had just arrived from the Central Temple.

 

‘Is it okay to tell him?’

 

My mouth twitched as I thought he was dropped from the sky for me.

 

“That…”

 

“That?”

 

Yeah, if I want to talk to someone, it wouldn’t be bad if that person is the guy in front of me.

 

“People who used to be mean to me suddenly treat me well…”

 

“Yes. So?”

 

“It’s so awkward and uncomfortable that I don’t want to go back.”

 

I spit it out.

 

My heart started beating hard again.

 

I let out a secret that I shouldn’t tell anyone to a stranger I’d never seen before!

 

After I did it, my heart couldn’t stay still, like a child who committed a mistake, so I pressed my left chest firmly.

 

“Seeing that you don’t want to go home, it must be your family.”

 

I nodded softly at Adelio’s words.

 

His expression became serious as if he had understood the timid gesture of my head.

 

“Actually, not everyone in my family is like that. All of a sudden, my sisters treat me kindly.”

 

“Your sisters?”

 

“…”

 

I didn’t want to tell the person I met for the first time that my sisters didn’t like me because I wasn’t good enough.

 

However, I had no choice but to open my mouth because he wouldn’t understand if I didn’t tell him.

 

“My sisters are outstanding in many ways. Unlike them, I don’t have anything outstanding about me…”

 

“Are you saying that they didn’t like you because you didn’t have anything special?”

 

I nodded at Adelio’s neat conclusion.

 

He asked with a look of great incomprehension.

 

“Is that a good enough reason to hate your family?”

 

“I guess people around me compare us a lot…”

 

“Are you talking about your parents?”

 

“No, my parents love us unconditionally!”

 

At my words, he stroked his chin and fell into thought.

 

I hurriedly changed my words because I thought I would only recall unpleasant memories if this story continued.

 

“Anyway, my sisters hated me, but they suddenly treated me well. I just feel uncomfortable because I don’t know if they’re being sincere or not.”

 

“Certainly, even for me, it would be strange if someone who hated me suddenly did me a favor.”

 

Adelio shook his head sympathetically.

 

“Yes. I’m having a hard time because they’re always trying to be nice to me when I get home.”

 

“Do you hate being treated kindly by your sisters, Daisy?”

 

“Rather than hate, I just feel awkward. And I hate myself who starts to doubt what they’re up to.”

 

Yes, I hate myself for questioning someone’s favor, so I want to avoid being in that position.

 

‘But if I blindly trust my sisters and they start treating me coldly again, I won’t be able to stand it.’

 

I thought it would be better if I told someone about my worries, but my heart felt heavy because it seemed that only my ugly inner feelings were discovered.

 

“I should go back before it’s too late. Thank you for listening.”

 

I ended the story with a smile, and Adelio smiled lightly as if he had read my intention.

 

“Daisy, I want to escort you to the entrance of the temple. Is that okay?”

 

“I would be grateful.”

 

When permission was granted, Adelio came up to me and started walking first.

 

I appreciated his kindness to escort me to the entrance, but I didn’t feel comfortable because of the confession of my worries.

 

So as I walked quietly without saying anything, it was Adelio who broke the silence.

 

“I thought about it after listening to Daisy’s concerns. I don’t think I can just ignore it like this.”

 

“What?”

 

My voice naturally rose at the sudden words.

 

“What if my siblings who don’t like me until now suddenly treat me well? I think I will be suspicious first because they might be doing this because there is something they want.”

 

“Suspicious…?”

 

“Isn’t everyone like that?”

 

Adelio’s natural remark reassured me that I was not the only one.

 

“And isn’t it disgusting that they’ve hated it so far and suddenly tried to get close to you?”

 

“Disgusting…”

 

“It’s hard to believe, and it’s disgusting, but they made you worry about this, so if it were me, I wouldn’t let it go quietly.”

 

Adelio’s words were surprisingly persuasive, so I asked with curiosity.

 

“Then what would you do if it were you, Adelio?”

 

He brought up an answer that I had never thought of.

 

“If it were me, I would test my siblings. To make sure whether the kindness they give me is true or false.”
