Chapter 19: 19

TW : SA WARNING

It felt like a great shock hit me in the back of my head. My whole body started losing its strength.

“Ah…”

Nonsense. It can’t be true . My family is dead because of me…… No way…….

But I couldn’t help believing it. It was possible for the heartless man, Count Larestine.

My family was living under his thumb, so trampling on a commoner’s family like an ant, who won’t listen to him would be the least of his issues He won’t think twice before killing them.

That night.

I couldn’t sleep and stared blankly into the wall and fell into melancholy.

Should I just die now that I have no reason to live any longer or do I have to live the rest of my life thinking only of the future that will become even more terrifying?

The more I thought about it, the more I couldn’t stand it any longer, so I was filled with only despair.

click!

The tightly closed door opened, and Glock, who smelled of alcohol, came in.

“I heard you’ll be marrying a dying old man.”

He was clearly smirking and I could not hear him properly. I was a little far away from him and was still staring into the wall.

Perhaps he didn’t like my boring reaction, Glock, came all the way near my face and grabbed my shoulder.

He said with his eyes shining.

“If you’re going to be sold off to that old man, wouldn’t it be better to work as a maid here instead? yes?”

I couldn’t ignore him anymore because he was so close to my face .

I blankly pondered on what he had said.

I was able to suppress my feelings up until now while living here…But right now I only felt anger.

“If you work faithfully here, I can tell my father and ask him to keep you here.”

The more Glock’s bullshit continued, the more anger I felt.

Normally, no matter how intense my anger was, it would have flowed out of one ear.

Earlier I was afraid since I didn’t know what the count would do to my family if I caused any disturbance , so I just endured the humiliation of having someone to protect.

But things have changed now.

I live in a hell of a reality, and I wasn’t able to protect my family that I wanted to protect so much. So there was no reason for me to put up with this anymore.

“You’re drunk, go wash your face and sleep.”

Glock, who had entered my room , paused for a moment.

But soon after, he smiled and said.

“What, are you rebelling now?

Glock muttered and stretched out his arm to me.

“You do look adorable in my eyes this way too, but it’s not fun if you keep doing this.”

“Crazy bastard.”

Staring at him with raised eyes, I slapped his outstretched hand fiercely.

“Get out now.”

“If I leave now, you will regret it.”

Ha, I shouted with a contemptuous laugh.

“Get out, get out!”

But Glock’s words that followed, shut my lips.

“Your family, ah, not my father, but your real family.”

Glock chuckled as if it seemed funny when I was quiet for a moment.

“…….”

I stared at him in silence.

Now I didn’t want to just be dragged around stupidly anymore.

Learning from the experiences while living in Count Larestine’s castle was enough.

“I mean, do you know where your family is right now?”

“…… You.”

Do you know that?

I managed to swallow the words that were about to pop out.

But Glock understood what I didn’t say.

“Not long after you came in here, your family started rebelling my father in order to get you back.”

He glanced at me, who was speechless, and continued to speak as if humming.

“I heard that my father, who was angry about it, ordered them to be killed.”

I had eavesdropped already during the daytime in front of the countess’s bedroom, but when I heard it again, my heart raced.

I clenched my fist. .

I didn’t want to hear anymore of that hopeless ending-

“By the way! To my surprise, that ordinary commoner family!”

Glock clapped his hands and said in an exaggerated tone.

“I heard they ran away.”

“What?”

They didn’t die, they ran away?

I stared at Glock’s lips with trembling eyes at the unbelievable words.

Glock continued his story while stroking his chin, tracing his memory.

“Um, yes. I heard that he left the house and ran away at night. He disappeared without a trace, and has not been found yet.”

Thump, thump, my heart was beating fast. It was for a different reason than before.

“My father was annoyed because he hid like a mouse.”

“It’s, it’s not–“

“Do you want me to find your family and father secretly?”

Glock whispered slyly.

“Be obedient to me. It will make me feel better and I can help you find your family.”

“This is a very easy deal,” he murmured.

I looked at Glock with trembling eyes.

The light from behind his back casted a shadow over his face, making it hard to see what kind of expression he was making.

“If not me, who will help you against Count Larestine, huh?”

With that in mind, Glock came close to my face.

Then his unseen face was clearly visible.

Burning skin and bloodshot eyes. There was an insane expression on his mean face.

“Hey, do you understand the situation now?”

He chuckled and came over to me.

“…….”

I felt like a mouse in front of a snake. I couldn’t move, like a stone.

“Ha, I guess you finally figured out my subject.”

As he came closer to me I could smell his breath.

It’s disgusting, it’s disgusting, it’s disgusting… … !

I didn’t want to feel anything so I closed my eyes and held my breath.

However, doing so did not block my senses as I really wanted.

Rather, it felt more vivid.

But at that moment.

[Lyla, listen carefully. Bad people can unilaterally flirt. In that case, you should never stand still.]

[You are the most precious child in this world. So, never forget that fact, and always cherish you.]

At that moment I remembered my mother’s words, in an instant, I opened my eyes and fumbled to the side, his arms were heavy.

I barely squeezed my strength and lifted his arm that were holding me.

and,

puck!

I swung my arm hard and slammed Glock who was sitting on top of me.

“Aaah!”

I pushed him hardly and he did not resist and fell to the side.

Sigh!

I took a deep breath and looked at him. His eyes were closed, he looked as if he had lost consciousness. No, maybe…… .

“Fvck, are you dead?”

There was no answer.

Only the puddles of blood that spurted from the side of Glock’s collapsed head created a puddle.

Glock’s blood dripped through the cracks in the old floor. The smell of blood filled the attic.

The stench stinging my nose reached my head now. I felt dizzy. I barely woke up my trembling body.

“What? how, how… … ! What should I do?…!”

My wandering gaze turned to the open door.

Still, my mind was chaotic, and my trembling body in shock did not calm down at all.

But one thought clearly settled in my head.

I had to run away now once and for all.

Whether Glock is dead or alive, staying here can’t guarantee my safety. I couldn’t die yet.

‘My family is alive.’

Glock’s threatening words saved me from my dying will. I want to live. To do that, I had to leave.

However, I would not be able to escape safely.

The count who found the dying Glock in my attic will go after me immediately.

‘If an aristocrat decides to pursue it, I, who has no money or power, will not be able to escape far and will be caught.’

‘And I can’t protect my family.’

I suddenly remembered the word as I was chewing my hurted lips.

[Anytime is fine. So don’t be shy and come to me if you need anything. I want to repay you.]

Why? why did his words come to my mind?

Was that also fate?

Was it God’s arrangement for the world to return to normal, for the novel to start properly?

As a mere mortal being, I did not know.

However, I had nothing at that time.

Even if it was empty words, he was my only hope at the time.

So, I chose Aslan Tordell, and our relationship began.
