Bang!
"It's open!"
"Cough! The flames are too big...!"
The workers poured the water they had carried.
"Damn it, can't you hurry?"
She heard someone roar. It was Lorenzo
"Why is it on fire? The room next door is my toy room!"
Since was Lorenzo a 'water wizard', he tried to extinguish the fire using his magic. However, the fire I had set did not fizzle out easily.
'It shouldn't be easily extinguished.'
"Please save me... Cough! Cough!"
Suddenly, Aria heard a cold voice through the roaring flames.
"What the hell is going on?"
Diego Agnes, my foster father, had come.
"Just how the hell did a fire manage to start in the morning!"
Diego was a mighty wizard who couldn't be compared to lorenzo
"Tch! Everyone get out of the way!"
When diego reached out his hand, the steam rose and the flames began to subside.
Shwww-.
The fire disappeared without a hitch. As if it was eaten by a clouded water vapor.
Aria sat on the floor of the balcony, staring at the scene with hatred. She soon started coughing pitifully while trembling.
Before they knew it, the fire completely disappeared, and burnt traces near the door were revealed.
Diego glanced at Aria and called out an order.
"Bring A Doctor"
Aria was a gemstone he managed to find after searching all the suitable nursery schools. Aria was just Six years old when she was brought in, but she was far more beautiful than anyone else. Satisfied with her beauty, diego brought Aria secretly for a considerable amount of money.
He hired outstanding tutors and also recruited a painter for fake portraits to turn her into an aristocrat.
"My Lord!"
In an untimely uproar, Vera, the Agnes' family nanny, rushed in. Pretending like aria wasn't even there, the nanny looked at Lorenzo and cried.
"Are you hurt? Fire is dangerous, how did you get here?"
was also curious about that. His son hated Aria terribly, but he tried to put the fire out with his magic.
Something wasn't clear.
"Your Grace!"
While looking at the blackened door, a knight found a particularly unnatural hole.
He found out that the fire had started there and reported it to the Duke.
"There's a hole? And oil was poured into it..."
Diego gritted his teeth.
Then, the nanny's face changed. Because she knew why the hole was created.
Diego noticed Vera's unusal appearance
"Yes, yes, Master."
"You seem to know something about this?"
T-that...ah"
"I made that hole."
Diego's face hardened at those words.
"My Lord!"
Cough, cough!"
Then, with a terrified expression and tears in her eyes, Aria spoke.
"Heuk, Brother, I asked you to open the door, but why...cough!"
Aria couldn't speak and burst into coughs
The Young Lord did to the Lady?'
Slap!
for the first time in his life, Diego slapped his son on the cheek with uncontrollable anger.
"Are you out of of your mind lorenzo!"
"What is this unreasonable happening to your sister!"
"F-Father"
Lorenzo who was slapped for the first time in his life, was almost out of his mind.
"You set the mansion on fire? Vera! How the hell did you manage lorenzo?"
"It's all my fault, My Lord. Punish me instead and forgive the young Lord...heuk!"
Aria gazed at the scene, shivering.
It was refreshing to see that Vera kneeling and begging, its so funny
Aria almost burst out laughing.
Lorenzo grabbed the cheek that was slapped and made a blank expression. He shouted with anger.
"I didn't do it!"
Lorenzo was more angry that diego had support the daughter of a bug-like low-class aristocrat.
"And what's wrong with that anyway? She's inferior!"
"Watch your words!"
was emotionally sympathetic to his son's words, but it was dangerous to say it out loud.
Lorenzo changed his direction of anger to aria
"Hey! You say it. Did I set the fire? I'll kill you if you lie!"
*Glare*
Aria looked at lorenzo ,Aria scaring him for a moment with her cold eyes. Wood, who was about to grab her hair, was appalled.
'W-what?'
The Aria she remembered was a passive and weak child.
However, the Aria he was looking at was very unfamiliar. The insignificant Aria no longer seemed like a small bug that would die if stepped on. Rather, she looked like a white serpent on the verge of biting your neck.
Gulp.
Lorenzo swelled his dry saliva with appalling tension.
It was unbelievable
It was similar to the fear he felt when he first met the Emperor.
No, it was more than that.
She look like a girl that can kill you in just in flip in her own hand
"Hmm"
"Why do you hate me?"
"Your inferior status has caused my family's social status to drop. If it wasn't for you, then I would've never been Always humiliated in front of Sophia...!"
Lorenzo was deeply in love with Princess Sophia
Is since childhood.
But lorenzo's friend had humiliated him in Princess Sophia Leisel presence by mentioning Aria and Aria's inferior birthright.
In the beginning, Lorenzo already disliked me because of my origin. But after that incident, he began to torment me even more.
"Brother I'm sorry. I'm really sorry because of me because my status you himiliated in front of princess Leisel I just..."
"Shut up and Stop calling me Brother you Stupid!!"
Lorenzo shoved the crestfallen aria away.
He was only going to push her lightly, but he couldn't control his strength Because of her anger to aria
POK!
"Ah!"
After being roughly pushed by Lorenzo, aria lost her balance and stumbled.
However, the place where they are currently at is the stairway on the second floor.
Lorenzo witnessed Aria's body tilting dangerously backwards.
"Hey you!"
His hand quickly reached out for Aria
"Brother"
Aria also reflexively reached out towards Lorenzo
'I knew it brother will save me'
Fortunately, their hands touched each other.
But the next moment...
Aria hand that momentarily touched Lorenzo's had slipped out of his loosened grip.
Her body continued to tilt backwards once again.
Aria's eyes opened wide.
Her hand that touched loreanzo felt cold.
Lorenzo hand, which gripped Aria's moments ago, was frozen in the air.
He was nailed to his spot as he stared at the falling and smirk at Aria. Aria with stiff eyes.
'Why my brother is Smiling why. I'm....?'
Aria thought blankly why she's falling
Is it because it happened in an instant?
Or is it because she didn't fully understand the situation until now?
Or...
Is it because she believed lorenzo would help her?
POKKK!
Red blood splashed and covered her field of vision.
After falling helplessly, she landed on the floor headfirst.
A terrible pain struck her as if her bones were broken and her limbs twisted.
Even a small scream could not manage to escape from her mouth.
At last, Aria was like a broken doll that laid on the ground floor.
She die believing her brother will save her but in the end she betrayed
That was the last scene Aria could remember in her first life.
