Why Are You Becoming a Villain Again?

Dream (3)

“Are you okay, Daisy?”

After Kayden spoke to Asena, she asked Daisy.

Daisy couldn’t answer, and looked at Asena.

She, too, had her own conflicts.

Daisy likes people who work hard. A person who quietly does what he has to do and does not complain much.

So, Cayden had to look even more pitiful. He is good enough to become a champion in a jousting match, but nevertheless… perhaps because he is an adopted child, he is oppressed by twins.

I wanted to say it was okay. It was hard to see such a person not having wings.

However, she was hesitating because of Asena’s warning that she had just received.

Cayden noticed this subtle air current.

Daisy’s expression wasn’t good from the moment she came in with Asena, but it’s something you can’t help but know as it continues to the present situation.

“Wait.”

He apologized to Sir Horslow and the student council president, and grabbed Asena’s wrist and dragged him.

“oh..!”

Asena could not resist his power.

After leaving the student council room and crossing the hallway, Cayden didn’t let go of Asena’s wrist until only the two of them were left.

“…Brother, I’m not okay. Why do you want to be Daisy’s knight? You should be my knight-”

As Asena was dragged away and spoke, Cayden turned and cut her off.

“Asena. Did you say anything to Daisy again?”

“…..”

“I did. Don’t be friends with me.”

“…”

“Didn’t you warn me last time? I’m not going to do that anymore.”

But Asena did not back down.

“…brother. Awaken your dreams.”

“….What?”

“Don’t even think about connecting with Daisy.”

“What does it mean to go on?”

“Daisy said she needed a marriage of her own. With someone other than your brother.”

“…I never thought of that, Asena.”

“The actions you see seem to be the same.”

Asena seemed to be bursting with the anger she had been holding back.

“I give flowers at the jousting match. Asking for a dance at the prom. Now you’re trying to become a knight. How am I supposed to take this?”

“As long as you come to the academy, you have no choice but to connect with people. If I really only wanted to develop my skills as a knight, I would just stay in the Priest Territory, why did you come all the way here?”

“…can’t we just go back to the estate, oppa?”

“What?”

Kayden frowned. There was a faint rage on his face. It’s a look I’ve never seen before.

“…I will finish the work here and return. Just come back, brother.”

“…under..”

Caden turns his head and smirks, then shakes his head.

Asena took a step closer and tried to grab the hem of his robe, but Cayden gently blocked her hand.

Cayden took a deep breath and seemed to have made up his mind.

I looked at Asena with a stiff face.

“……Asena. Now, let’s just open up and talk.”

“uh?”

“I’m tired of hiding and flirting anymore. From now on, let’s talk only the facts. I will answer your questions truthfully, and I will answer your questions truthfully.”

Asena took interest in his expression, but then nodded.

“…Then I’ll ask you a question first, brother. Do you like Daisy?”

“I don’t like it. Now let me ask you. What do you think of me?”

“……”

At Kaden’s hooked question, Asena stiffened. His hair seemed to turn white.

The answer to the question is ‘I love you.’ there was no outside

I want to be married to a couple. I want to have children together. Had he not paid attention to others. It’s always been like that since I was a kid.

But even if I said that now, I couldn’t.

He sees him as a man, but he sees himself as a brother and sister, so talking about him would almost push him back.

“….I like you. Why are you curious about that now?”

So Asena hid the words that she loved. I couldn’t even decide what was the right choice. I always get emotional when I talk to him.

“……You decided to be honest, Asena.”

But as if he had read his mind, Cayden didn’t believe it. Asena’s heart began to pound. Maybe he already knew?

“…uh…?”

But the words that followed were not so affectionate.

“I… it was everyone.”

Kayden said in a subtly shaky voice. The feeling of excitement is quickly eroded by anxiety. The world doesn’t always go the way you want it to.

“I heard everything, Asena.”

Asena’s mask was broken. The eyes are drooping, and the lips are gently opened. Breathing quickened and his legs relaxed.

“……What…”

At the small question that came from not believing the situation, the words he wanted to hide the most began pouring out of Caden’s mouth one after another.

“You say you don’t think of me as your brother. Saying that I am a non-blood adopted child. Saying that I’m more comfortable when I’m not at the academy…”

Asena was stunned for a moment, reflexively reaching out, but Cayden was not caught. No words came out of his mouth. It just felt like Kaden in front of me would disappear like a mirage, only my heart was ahead.

Only excuses that are hard to squeeze out come out.

“Ah… no…”

“…I heard everything. Why can’t you say I’m shy?”

Asena shook her head vigorously.

“no..! Why am I ashamed of my brother-”

“-Without being shy, tell others that you are not family. You don’t want to appear in a jousting match, and at a prom, do you put it up like a folding screen behind you? Asena, this is no excuse. I told you to return to the territory earlier.”

“……ah..”

“I told you to tell me openly.”

Asena needed time to think. I needed a break to figure out how to best deal with this moment.

“…Oppa, let’s go to my room and talk.”

“Where are everyone else in the student council room?”

“Are those people important now?”

“If you go somewhere else and talk, what will happen?”

But Cayden didn’t give up. Asena was still buzzing in her head and could not come to her senses.

This is the first time I’ve heard such a big mistake. Even to the person whom I didn’t want to be found out the most. My heart was pounding and I was sweating profusely. Perhaps she would not have been so embarrassed if her life had been at stake.

“…Brother..I was wrong. It’s not like that… So…”

Cayden let out a long sigh.

Then, he grabbed Asena’s hair little by little and swept it away.

“….it’s okay. I’m not mad…I’ve decided to understand.”

“uh…?”

A handful of breath caught Asena.

“…the Freister family… well. I can accept the fact that I am the only flaw in such a strong family… to a certain extent. Even Grandma Liana told me to beware of the Academy’s territoriality.”

“……”

“Of course…I didn’t expect you to do this to me…but anyway. i love you so much I can’t easily hate you I understand..Your choice.”

“….brother..”

He smiled, let go of his hair, and touched Asena’s cheek with his hand.

“..but there is. It hurts as much as I love you.”

Asena swallowed her saliva. His wounds felt as vivid as his own. It would be more painful for him, but it was an unbearable pain.

“…are you going to be honest?”

Asena looks up at him. Now the words that came out of his mouth were terrifying. It was the first fear she had ever felt.

“……I want to leave the family, Asena.”

“……………….uh……?”

Cayden said with a bitter smile as she gently stroked Asena’s cheek with her thumb.

“…how should I say…”

“Brother, what?”

Asena thought for a moment that she had heard it wrong. No, I wanted to hear it wrong.

“…if there is a flaw in the Pryster. you’re right to leave no. Are you going to be honest? I just don’t want to get hurt anymore.”

“Leave… you’re leaving…? Is my brother…?”

As if it were difficult for him to speak out, Cayden said while slowly nodding his head while repeating ‘ah’ and ‘um.’

“…I think I put a lot of effort into it. As you said…I am an adopted child and a commoner…but I tried my best to be confident.”

“Why…why are you doing this… are you kidding me?”

“But now that I see it, I think the direction is wrong. If I’m by your side, I can’t stand tall. I was too greedy Just looking at Judy, the youngest daughter, makes me suffer like that. Yes, I was very comfortable.”

Asena grabbed Kayden and shook it.

“brother!!”

Cayden shook for a moment, then exhaled once more.

“…ah…why…”

Kayden said, soothing Asena whose expression was hurting.

“I don’t mean to break up between us. ’cause I understand Politically, you might be ashamed of me. There is nothing wrong with being alone.”

“It’s not…! Why did my brother leave me..! You promised to always be by my side…”

“Why are you surprised, Asena? After graduating anyway, they decided to expel me.”

Asena opened her mouth, but nothing came out as if a stone had blocked her throat.

“Isn’t that what you forgot?”

It was only after she began to choke that Asena took another deep breath and was able to find something to say.

“…that’s just…! You said you were just taking off the Freister family name…! You don’t have to go anywhere else, and they treat you better…?”

“I don’t want to live like that.”

“…what?”

“It’s a livestock life, not the life I want. Whatever you do to me, I’m a Freister. And as a Freister, I want to help the family.”

Cayden loosened his neck and opened his chest proudly. It was as if he was trying to tell who he was.

“To enter a vassal of another family. Still, if I use my abilities, I’ll be able to become a knight. If there is a dispute with the Frysters, I will mediate. It’s better to act like a window sitter than the people you are ashamed of right now.”

“……”

“You see why I want to be Daisy’s knight? The Hectors also came into my sight.”

“….no. no. For that reason, I can’t allow it any more.”

“permission?”

“okay. I can’t allow it.”

Asena hardened her expression again and looked at Kaden. But it didn’t seem too intimidating to Cayden.

“Asena, I don’t need your permission.”

Asena shook her head. She grabs Cayden’s hem again with both hands and says:

He was not shaken by any words, so all that was left was disbelief.

“….It is a lie. Are you lying? Oppa… no matter what I did, you came back to me.”

“…you keep telling me. My family is also my family….I am so sick now. Or what, suddenly change your posture and say that you like me in front of people? That makes no sense. Then there’s no reason why I’ve suffered so much. Rather, it would be better to raise the status of an adopted child like me by spreading the story that they are not part of the family.”

“No, from now on, I won’t say strange things in front of others. huh? So…”

“If I had a chance, it was last time. You clearly said that you love me…”

Asena instantly remembered an article she had read a few days ago.

Articles about generous people. They say that if you cross the line, you won’t come back.

When that came to mind, Asena’s heart squeezed again.

If he has already crossed the line, does he not come back again?

Asena didn’t know what her expression was, but Kayden came and took her face in her arms.

“Asena. are you okay. This conversation is now over. Talking more… well… we don’t have to go blushing around, right?”

Asena couldn’t say anything.

I don’t know if anyone else.

Conversation with Kaden is very emotional.

I was swept away by that feeling and my vision narrowed.

I didn’t know which was the right choice.

Even if I wanted to ask for an apology, he already said it was okay with a smile on his face. At the same time, he did not recall the word leaving.

If I had been angry, then I would have somehow begged for forgiveness.

He smiles and hugs him like this, so he has no idea how to ask for forgiveness.

“Brother… not really… where are you going…”

“This story is over. I’ve said my opinion, so let’s talk to Kirsi again later.”

Asena was unable to respond.

He couldn’t accept that the warmth he felt right now was leaving him.

****

As the two return to the student council room, the moment of decision comes.

Daisy’s eyes fell on Asena, who followed Kaden. She was dead.

Seeing Asena like that for the first time, I had a strange feeling.

To make that Asena die.. Is that why Asena hated Kayden?

Are you the only object that suppresses you?

“…daisy. Is it ok if I escort you?”

Kayden asked. At that moment, Asena stares at Daisy.

It seemed that he should not forget the previous warning.

But Daisy was shaken by a feeling she couldn’t understand.

Kaden in front of him was an unusual person.

He is the adopted child of the Fryster family.

It is said that when he was an orphan, he grew up in an orphanage run by his own family. No matter how much effort he put in, he showed overwhelming force in the jousting match… Now that I see, even that Asena can be shaken to some extent. I always thought I was just being beaten up, but even this was unexpected.

Before making a decision, she approached Cayden closely.

Asena looked more uncomfortable from behind, but Daisy wasn’t the type of person to be swayed by that.

He was someone who could say what was right was right and what was wrong was wrong.

“…?”

As Daisy approached, Cayden gave her an ear.

she whispers

“…Asena doesn’t want me and you to become friends.”

Cayden heard it and pondered for a moment, then whispered to her as well.

“…I just found out. I thought it wouldn’t have happened since I warned you once before… I’m sorry. Are you in a difficult position?”

“…it’s not like that, but are you okay, Kayden-sama?”

“yes?”

“If you come to me, won’t you be more discriminated against by your family…? I’m OK. It would be an honor to have someone as talented as you escort me.”

“…I’m fine too.”

Daisy pondered for a while again, and asked one last time.

“…just one more thing. When I get to know you… I told you that Asena was tormenting me…”

“….yes?”

Cayden looked back at Asena, who was standing behind him.

Asena looked at them with cold eyes, and as Caden’s head turned, she returned her gaze as well.

Cayden sighed and thought.

‘…to me like that…’

disappointing once again.

Why is Asena turning into a villain again?

Kaden looked at Daisy and declared.

“..Do not worry. I will protect you.”
