Chapter 13




<b>I Need Someone To Stop My Older Brothers</b>
1
“I should have known from the time I followed you to death, that you wouldn’t run away because you wouldn’t be the King.”
It’s a good thing that I’m allowed to live a new life. But in a nutshell, it was because of this guy who died so vainly in his last life.
‘Well, I guess I’ll have to change my mind.’
Running away isn’t the solution. If it’s like that then,
“Blanche, I’ll give you an order. As your king, what do you say?”
“Order?”
Blanche’s eyes glistened with anticipation.
“Yes, command.”
If I can’t escape, why don’t I let him go?
“Go back outside the barrier right now. That’s my command.”
‘And I’ll live a normal life in a world where the devil has disappeared! My previous life is nothing to be misunderstood like in!’
However, Blanche’s face was filled with embarrassment as he was waiting for orders.
“My king, I will obey your orders, but it is difficult.”
“How come?”
“Have I already told you? I’ve put all my energy into crossing the barrier. So ······.”
“So?”
“I don’t have the strength to go back.”
‘No, I can’t run away, and I can’t let him go.’
The moment I grab my head in despair. An idea quickly went through my head.
‘You know, how to kick him out!’
“Blanche.”
“Yeah.”
“Then I’ll give you another order. As your king.”
I grinned and glanced at a book lying on the table. It was the book that I searched hard for my master’s herbs.
“There’s one thing I need you to find for me.”
                                  * * * *
After Blanche left, I found peace again. It didn’t seem to be an easy-to-find herb, so by the time he came from it, he would have regained enough strength to go back beyond the misty mountain range.
“I’ll get the herbs and be strong!”
Isn’t that the way to kill two birds with one stone?
I walked down the hall with light steps, praising myself for my brilliance.
“You seems happy?”
Hedin asked, who was following me from behind, smiling.
“Yes, I solved a complicated problem.”
“A complicated problem?”
“It was a hassle! Anyway, I’ve solved it now.”
I answered Hedin who was shaking his head as if he didn’t know, but he didn’t ask any questions. I think he was a little nervous because he was on were way to meet my grandfather.
Grandpa is a pretty scary boss to the users.When I arrived near my grandfather’s office, I saw a familiar butler.
“You’re here, miss,”
athe butler bowed his head, welcoming me. Looking at the constant pacing in front of the door, I felt as if I had waited for my throat to come. I knew the reason.
“Are you working? Shall we wait a little more?”
The butler jumped at my words as if it were nonsense.
“No! You can go in right now, right now.”
This reaction meant that I worked nonstop today as well.
“How many hours has it been today?’
“Seven hours. You skipped lunch.”
The butler sighed as the ground sank. The Grand Duke was a great Walker Holik. There are only three daily routines: sleep, work, and training.1
‘I love working. I don’t understand this type of human being.’
That thought seemed to be the same for his butler and his lieutenant. Everyone was dying of chronic fatigue, catching up with the Grand Duke’s pace.
But after I came to the mansion, I ate in-between, took a walk. I did and I enjoyed tea time. After seeing that, The Butler frequently called me to stopped grandfather from working too much.
“I’m going to die.”
But today, the Grand Duke called me, not the Butler.
“Is it also related to the Senate meeting?”
Baratheon said the Senate meeting would conclude on the issue of successors. I didn’t know you wanted to tell me something about that.
“Then I’ll just break in, because you’ve given me permission!”
“Yeah, Miss!”
I bet he didn’t hear me and I had to knock on the door anyway, so I opened the door without much notice and entered the office, and as I approached the desk with loud footsteps,
Dana looked up at the document. Everything! The purple snow that contained the irritation melted away as soon as I found myself. It was clear from the last meeting that he was clearly ingratiate with him.
“Danae.”
“Grandpa!”
At my call, a document that was unlikely to fall off the Grand Duke’s hand landed on the desk.
“Sit down.”
He didn’t say where, but I knew where I was supposed to sit. It was now my designated seat, a window sofa. When I sat down, the table was full of all kinds of fruits and cookies.
The Grand Duke said he didn’t enjoy sweets, so he’d only have it for me.
“Did you meet Osette’s children?”
“Oh, yes.”
I like my favorite chocolate. Chewing at the cookies, nodding. It was only a brief encounter, but it seemed that the story had already entered Dana’s ear.
“Nothing happened. The other looked kind, One was picking a fight , so I gave it back to her.”
“Gave it back?”
“Yes, I was picking a fight, and I was kind to one.”
I shrugged and the Grand Duke’s
There was a slight smile around the mouth.
“As expected, it’s a shame to be called a grandfather.”
No matter how hard I looked, it was hard to believe that I had a granddaughter.
“Well done, you can do whatever you want.”
“I heard the Osette is a powerful shield.”
“But it’s a shield,”
The Great Duke drew a simple line.
“Anyway, it can’t be crossed at all.”
I felt like there was a big wall.
“But Lucas said he had a hard time with the Osset family. Seeing that he brought his two daughters again this time.”
“Who said such a useless thing?”
The Grand Duke’s forehead frowned. Was it something I wasn’t supposed to know? Baratheon told me about it.I thought he’d be in trouble if I said.
“I just happened to know. Rumors are fast.”
“It’s none of your business,”
I squinted at the cold cutting words. You wanted to say but I chose to stop.
” Thank you for your concern. I don’t want to bother you, right?”
I have become somewhat accustomed to the Grand Duke’s art. Because I knew he was a quiet person. “Like a master of a previous life.”
“But I’m fine. It bothers me more to stay away from my problems.”
The big prince shut his mouth at my words, and soon laughed. It was a momentary laugh, but it was the first time he had laughed so hard.
“At this age, you’re being scolded by your granddaughter.”
“There’s no age to be scolded. If I did something wrong, even a 100-year-old man should be scolded.”
“Yes, you’re right.”
Perhaps a smile was still left around his mouth, but the grand Duke put a small box in front of me with a softer face than usual.
“What’s this?”
“You’ll find out when you open it.”
I opened the box in bewilderment.There was a small key with purple jewelry in the box.
“It’s the key to the warehouse key. ‘It’s too luxurious to be just a storage key.”
Not only the jewel, but also the finely carved shape. It didn’t seem like a normal warehouse key.
“It’s magical, so it only responds to Asinov’s blood. If you shout “heart of winter” anywhere, the door to the warehouse will appear.””
“Is it a treasure trove?”
Grandpa grinned silently.
“Treasure trove!”
I gleaned at the key. The Asinov family treasure trove. I thought there would be a huge pile of treasure without opening it.
“It is not the successor of Asinov, but a gift to you, Dana.”
I raised my head at the words of the Grand Duke.
“That means you won’t spare any support even if you don’t become the heir.”
“Do you think I’m not cut out for the heir?”
“Do you just want Lucas to be the heir?”
“If that’s what I’m saying, I’ve made another mistake.”
The Grand Duke began a long explanation, frowning awkwardly.
“Maybe the Senate will propose a test. They will tell you to prove whether you are the right person to succeed or not. It’s not going to be an easy test.”
“Cause the senate is supporting Lucas?”
“Yes, they’ll try to push you away somehow. So even if you mess up the test, it won’t be your fault.”
“Really? I don’t mind if I mess up the test and rumored to be a stupid girl.”
‘Who would blame me for being stupid?’
The whole family will be criticized for the stupidity of Asinov’s blood. It doesn’t matter to me, but wouldn’t it be different for the Grand Duke? However, he just shook his head as if he was worried about such a thing.
“What’s wrong with that? There is nothing to do with other people’s evaluations and your values.”
