Why Are You Becoming a Villain Again?

Weight of Vengeance (2)

I left the Fryster estate as quickly as possible. It is a situation where the pursuit may follow again.

He took a fairy tale out of his coin pocket and bought a bandana to cover his face.

So, until I left the estate, the only people who saw my face were the castle gatekeeper and the merchant who sold the hood.

Once I got to the next city, I walked blindly.

It took me quite a while to walk the streets I had just gone to.

I arrived in the first city two days after I started walking.

The estate of the Cecil family, a subordinate family of Pryster.

Fortunately, the entire territory was not surrounded by walls, so it was not difficult to enter the village.

If I had to cross the wall, the gatekeepers wouldn’t have recognized me.

The gatekeepers who guard the castle are good at remembering people. I can’t remember myself as the eldest son of Pryster.

Anyway, in the village outside the castle, I ate and went to sleep.

In fact, a lot of it was unfamiliar.

The food was cold and had a strange smell. The bed was hard and ticks crawled.

When the morning was bright, my whole body was puffy.

It’s like feeling sick after training.

But you’ll have to get used to it too.

I wiped my face and left the inn.

A loud noise was heard. There was a place where people gathered.

There was no reason to avoid the place, so I got into the crowd.

When they arrived, at least someone dressed in clothes that were more modest than the commoners was standing on a wooden platform.

he cried out loudly.

“Now, listen again! Caden Pryster of the Pryster family, the founder of the Cecil family! I heard that he has been expelled from the family! Someone appears and claims to be Kaden Pryster! Even if you see the crest of Priest! You don’t have to listen to orders! That’s it!”

I looked up at him and nodded slightly to myself.

Asena has already begun to act. I didn’t expect her words to be bluff, but it was sooner than expected.

If that’s the case, you’ll be keeping your word that you hate me.

“……”

I don’t know what this feeling is right now.

people murmured All conversations were clearly audible because they were between them.

‘No…what happened…?’

‘Isn’t that him? He said he was a commoner but was adopted by Priest!’

‘Because the Duke of Priest became an adult, he probably threw it away.’

‘…But no matter how much you show up in front of me, I think I’ll be scared and take orders.’

‘okay? If you show up in front of me, I’m going to beat you up. When are you going to beat the nobles!’

I fixed the hood and left the place.

The distance from here to the next city is considerable.

Can’t go on foot

I had to rent a wagon or do something else.

“Let me say it again! Kayden Pryster! You’ve been kicked out of the family! I am no longer a fryer…”

After his words, I took a step back.

As I was looking at the wall, I saw merchants who were leaving the city sporadically.

There was a reason I stopped here.

I couldn’t borrow a horse, so I had to buy it, but of course I didn’t have a tag with the money I had, so it was quite burdensome to pay the driver to take me to the next city. Especially for me, who pays for meals and lodging at the same time.

So, the idea was to rent a carriage from merchants and escort them instead of riding.

As the carriage entered the castle, I had no choice but to look at the carriage leaving outside.

But even that is the end. There was one carriage caught in the eye.

The escort is less compared to the load it carries. Even the small number of escorts were not in good condition, so it was perfect for me to talk to.

Safety is neglected because of the greed to sell many products.

I preempted the carriageway and stopped them.

“Get out of here!”

cried the driver.

I lowered my hood and started talking. They couldn’t recognize my face.

“I have a favor for you!”

“I have no intention of listening! If you don’t get out of the way, I’ll kick you out!”

“Are you sure you don’t have enough escorts?”

At those words, the man who sat next to the coachman and was dressed in fancy clothes…probably a merchant’s eyes lit up.

He was the first to open his mouth.

“….escort?”

“Since then, I am confident in my sword skills. It looks like the escort is a bit lacking, but I’ll help. Instead, take me to the next city.”

He turned his head for a moment and looked at the men escorting his wagon.

In my eyes the merchant did not value the quality of the escort. If you valued it, you would have hired people with a slightly more decent appearance.

So I won’t even check my quality.

He pondered for a moment and asked.

“Do you know where we are going?”

“Aren’t you heading north?”

“…not really.”

“Then it doesn’t matter. It would be better to know the exact destination.”

“…We are going to the Bons family estate.”

Bones. It’s a memorable name. Mary Bones, Kirsi’s friend, was from there. The location was much better than expected. From there it’s two days by horse to Hexter’s estate.

Getting to the Bones estate is the problem. I expect it to be about … 5 days away from there.

“If it’s Bones’ territory, I’m fine too.”

“……What is the wage?”

“No need. Instead, put them in an empty space in the carriage and give them food. If you have any leftovers, feel free to give them. I know how to ride.”

“…ho-ho.”

He raised one eyebrow and looked at the coachman. As if asking for his consent.

The driver only looked at me and the merchant in turn.

The merchant asked again.

“But how do I trust you?”

“If that’s the case, aren’t all the guards over there mercenaries hired at low prices? What’s different about me? Rather, my purpose is more transparent. I only have to go north.”

Eventually, the merchant nodded.

“Yeah, that sounds right.”

He pointed back with his thumb.

“Go to the back.”

After smiling once, I headed to the back of the carriage.

A horse could also be rented.

The news came like lightning and struck Daisy.

Asena’s rough handwriting on the letter. it was undoubtedly

It was announced by Amman Kaden, but the moment she read the letter, it was a big shock to Daisy as well.

I could guess roughly what had happened.

Cayden returned to the estate because the twins loved them, and the twins must have arrived at the estate recently.

This letter came immediately after.

Cayden probably rejected their hearts.

how was he That’s what I was most curious about.

He was expelled, but is he okay?

Maybe he refused and the twins did harm to him.

In the midst of the confusion, her father rubbed her chin.

“…..Hmm..”

Daisy, of course, also looked at her father because she had a problem with this news.

“…Why are you doing that?”

“…you got kicked out of the family sooner than you think.”

“…But you don’t have to worry about it, since Duchess Liana promised a strong alliance.”

Daisy tried to reassure her father. I was hoping that something didn’t go wrong with this. The two didn’t say anything, but they knew the cause of this atmosphere.

Cayden became a commoner. No longer a fryer. That was the problem.

“…okay. It was.”

“Besides, didn’t you forget that Kayden helped Youngji people?”

“That’s something I can’t forget. So many lives have been saved.”

“If now and Dad change his mind… that’s really against the law. What if we beat the benefactor who reached out to us first when we are in trouble? You will be punished.”

“…that’s it, but…”

‘But…’. Seeing Count Hexter blurring his words like that, Daisy wrinkled her expression for a moment.

“father!”

“Hey, why are you screaming…”

Earl Hexter breaks out of his thoughts and looks at Daisy. And looking at her angry face, he blurted out the end of his speech again.

Then he licks his lips and reassures Daisy.

“I’m not doing this because I hate Kaden, I’m doing this because I think of you. If you are no longer interested in Kaden, who has become a commoner-”

“I am only interested in Kaden. You have no idea how lucky I was to be able to connect with him.”

“….okay? I didn’t know you thought you were lucky.”

“I consider myself lucky. I am also satisfied. I have received so many blessings… I want to repay you. Other than that, I really like his values and personality.”

“…I see, sweetheart. Don’t be too angry.”

“Don’t say that again. You know? If he comes to the territory, I want him to treat me with the utmost sincerity.”

Earl Hexter scratched his head.

“Oh yeah. That’s what I mean. So what happened to Cayden?”

“…..yes?”

“You only know that he was expelled from the family, but you can’t tell where he is and what condition he is in.”

“……”

Daisy shut her mouth at her father’s next words.

Watching Daisy grow deeper, Earl Hexter didn’t have to put more pressure on her daughter.

Giving his own consolation, he stands up.

“…..okay. you don’t even know Don’t go first.”

Daisy was left alone, asking an unanswered question.

‘…Yes, Kayden. where are you?’

He believed he would do well, but he felt a slight sense of insecurity.

****

A day after leaving the Freister estate, I had more time.

Putting your body on a horse must have had some effect. On that tedious journey, all I had to do was to think about what I was going to do.

On the first day, after traveling all day, the sun went down and we set up camp.

We had a late dinner with a fire in the open open space, which was safer than the wooded forest. Again, the quality was not good, but I was able to fill my stomach. However, seeing that the guards other than me admired it several times saying it was delicious, it seemed like I was doing this because I was out of luck.

I’ve been living in a duke family all my life, but I guess I can’t help it that my taste has changed a bit. Anyway, I thanked the food given to me and emptied the bowl thoroughly.

After that, the driver and the merchant fell asleep, and the guards and I decided the order of the vigil through a simple game.

Fortunately, I was the first.

Putting firewood in the fire to keep it from going out, I tried to sort out what had happened between the twins.

“….ha.”

let out a short sigh. The man standing on the bed with me didn’t bother talking to me. Even this was fortunate. Because I needed time to think.

I don’t know how things got so twisted. I don’t know if my choice is right. As a human being, I never knew what was right. It would be great if someone showed up and told me the answer.

…I just hope things turn out well. As long as Asena spit out… it might be all right.

She said she would hate me. Those words were heartbreaking, but it wouldn’t be bad either.

I don’t want you to love me as a man anymore. After all, love is a lasting emotion, but anger doesn’t last very long. Hate me and shake off love… If that anger subsides in the future, go back to the estate again, whether it’s Grandma, Lawrence… or twins. can i see you again?

Perhaps it is too hopeful and selfish. When you think of what you did to the twins, you shouldn’t have such hope.

They promise to be by their side, to be their support, and eventually leave them. No matter how things change, the fact that they depended on me doesn’t change.

Even though I know that I am the pillar of their hearts, I know that in the end I did too much to make this choice.

….but again, if not, I don’t know how. There was only one thing the twins wanted, and that didn’t change. to connect with me.

“…..after.”

It’s not that I couldn’t accept their hearts because I was a sage and couldn’t cross the moral line. It was supposed to be to save the children of commoners, but I also committed the worst act of murder.

I am not a clean person.

However, to accept the hearts of the younger brothers, it is deep, heavy, and personal… I feel guilty.

I’m not as great as they think.

I remember every moment the twins grew up. children. Teenager. And up to adults.

I also vividly remember the feeling of my brothers rubbing their heads like cats in my arms. The memory of brushing my soft hair while listening to their gentle breathing still lives in me.

A bright smile that Asena showed only to me. The aegyo that Kirsi only gave me.

If I could accept the hearts of my younger brothers who were so cute.

……. Lay the younger sisters who have become women on the bed, share their saliva and breath, wet their skin with each other’s sweat, and then engrave their moans in their ears and pursue physical pleasures.

My heart is too heavy for that.

Just thinking about it made my heart pound. in guilt.

Even if the twins want it, if Grandma tells you that she will understand whatever choice you make in the end…

Aren’t I too dirty to mix flesh with my younger brothers? Aren’t I such a beast?

I was possessed and…I lived almost all of my life for my younger sisters, but I’m too messy to pick these flowers.

So I’m going to run away like this. Even if there was any enemy in front of me, I would not have run away if my brothers were behind me, but I couldn’t resist the offensive of the gentle brothers.

Others may slander you for not having courage on a day like this, but if you are in the same position, you will not be able to say anything.

Who will be able to share love with the younger brothers who have been cherished and raised?

My choice was a very personal choice. I still live for my younger siblings, but this was a choice for me.

I could die for my brothers. But even if they die, they cannot be defiled.

I feel more comfortable this way than being hated by them and breaking up with my family members.

Things have turned around drastically.

I am now unable to keep many promises.

My younger sisters might become villains… No, they were already villains I couldn’t do anything about.

Hopefully, their wrath is directed only at me. In the end, I hope you will forget me and become more mature.

…Of course, even that, I knew I couldn’t do it my way.

I do not know. I really don’t know. Again, I just hope this choice was right.
