"Big brother Callius, you are finally here!"

This was the first thing I heard when I opened the door to the dining room, and that sound was soon followed by a hug.

"Huh, Diana?"

I responded with a bit shocked face.

At that moment, there was a slender girl in my arms, hugging me while looking up at my face with eyes swollen and red from crying.

And this girl is another stepsister of Callius.

"What are you doing here?"

I asked since I didn't think she would be coming to the house this early.

"What do you mean, brother? Father is gone. What did you expect me to do?"

She said while making a sad expression.

"Ah. Sorry, of course, you would be here. It was just that I didn't expect you to come home today. But are you okay?"

"Hick, brother, what am I going to do right now? Father is gone; he is gone. I won't be able to hug him anymore, hick."

"I know, I really know. Father is not here with us anymore, but you shouldn't cry like that. He would be sad if he saw you like that, so keep strong, okay? Father wouldn't want you to look bad with those swollen eyes."

I said while comforting Diana. I slowly patted her head while wiping the tears spilling out from her eyes.

You see, I know I said the relationship between Callius and his family was bad, right? This doesn't apply to this girl.

Diana is the second child of Adelyn and Austin and the little sister of Emma. Most of you may have thought she was a heroine of the game as well since she is the little sister of Emma.

But this is not true.

This little fairy, Diana, is the only person Callius cares about in this world aside from himself, and she is also the only one who cares about him.

In the game, she was not a heroine but an antagonist.

In the game scenario, when Callius got banished from his household and left the house, she strongly opposed this decision and fought with her mother for days.

With this, her relationship with his mother and sister went awry.

However, the triggering thing for her to become the villain of the game was not Callius' banishment.

Although she started hating his mother and sister, she didn't take any action against them.

However, later in time, when it is revealed that Saintess Alicia, the supposed fiancé of Callius, was actually sleeping with the protagonist Arthur, she understands the whole picture.

When she put all those pieces together, she understood it was a betrayal of Alicia that put Callius in the position of Villain and decided to take revenge against her and Arthur.

This was the story of Diana Augustride, who was the villainess of the game as well as my first ally.

"Brother, you won't leave me, right? We will always be together in the future, right?"

While I was thinking about that, I suddenly felt a chill around my body.

This strong sense of oppression…

It is coming from Diana.

When I turned my eyes to her face, the expression I saw was not a sad one anymore.

Instead, this time, she had an expression that could be classified as the scariest expression I have seen.

"Cough, Cough. Sit down, Diana. We are eating right now."

At that moment, I heard the sound of Adelyn coming from the table.

As expected, she still doesn't like the fact that her daughter is affiliated with me.

"Hmm? Ah, sorry. I got a bit ahead of myself. Come brother, let's eat."

She pulled me and brought me to the table.

For a girl slender like her, she really had a firm grip, and without refusing, I followed her as well.

As I said, Diana is the second daughter of Austin and Adelyn.

I have mentioned this before, but normally the characteristic of the Augustride Family is their white hair, but both Emma and Callius didn't have that.

On the contrary, Diana has the characteristic white hair of the Augustride Family.

She has a fairy-like aura surrounding her, and coupled with her slender and graceful figure; she just looks like a fairy from the legends.

Her blue eyes opening and closing gracefully make you lost in them, and in the game, she had a pretty huge number of suitors.

Right now, she is 11 years old, one year younger than Emma and me.

And as you can see, this girl has a high affection for me.

The reason for this starts from an event that happened when she and Callius was just a child.

At that time, there was a birthday banquet organized for the birthday of Emma, and a huge number of nobles attended that party.please visit panda-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

Since Austin himself is a very good person, he has always been in a relatively good relationship with his vassals and the other dukes in this country.

Therefore, a huge number of nobles were invited, and the party itself was pretty crowded at that time.

But, you see, not all those nobles are good people.

Heck, there are some nobles that are worse than devils in human skin, roaming freely doing whatever they are doing.

Diana is a girl that doesn't like crowds and attention too much. She is a girl that likes to be in a secluded place and read books.

Therefore, at that time, she left the banquet hall and decided to take fresh air in the garden of our mansion.

Yes, the birthday party was in this mansion, and the garden was accessible to all people around this place.

When she left the banquet, she sat on a bench and started watching the stars.

However, she was not alone.

A group of noble kids was following her.

When she started looking around, she suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder, and she knew it was not a familiar one.

"Hello miss, what are you doing at this place all alone."

When she turned her head, she saw a boy looking at her, smiling.

However, there was something wrong with the boy; it didn't seem like he was in his right mind.

It was like; there was some sort of external thing that was affecting the boy.

You may ask, how did she know it?

When I said, there was an aura like a fairy that was surrounding her, didn't I?

And, yes. This aura is not something I made up in my mind while describing her.

Diana has always had a good affinity with nature and the small spirits around her, which normal people couldn't see.

And she could also see the intentions of people around her from the aura they were emitting, and that was the reason why she didn't like to be in crowded places.

Because she could see the real intentions of people behind the mask they were showing.

Anyway, this was the reason she could feel the boy wasn't in his normal state.

She suddenly got scared and tried to get away from the hand that was holding her shoulder; however, that grip was pretty firm.

"Umm, please take your hands away."

"Why? It is not like I am doing something bad, right? We are just hanging around, right guys?"

"Of course, we are not doing something bad; we are just playing."

Just like that, they started getting closer to Diana, and she could see none of them were in their right minds.

"HEL-"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Why are you screaming like we are doing something bad to you?"

She tried to scream, but her mouth suddenly got blocked by the hand of the guy holding in front of her.

At this moment, she was really frightened.

As a child of Duke house, she has never been exposed to such behavior. Everyone around her behaved like she was the princess of the world, and they always treated her well.

But seeing all those people around her, looking at her body with those disgusting eyes, the fear got a hold of her.

/DIP/ /DIP/

ραпdα Йᴏνêl(сòm) Suddenly a liquid started dropping from her legs, and she started shaking uncontrollably.

It was like the whole world was spinning around her, and she couldn't put an end to that.

"Hey, hey. What is this? Did you just pee? Did you just shit yourself from fear? AHAHAHA! Look, guys. This girl is shitting herself."

"HAHAHAHA!"

"HAHAHAHA!"

At that moment, she was really terrified and couldn't do anything aside from standing like a frozen statue.

'Father, mother, please help. I am scared, I am scared, please help! Sister, please, someone!'

She was repeating this over and over again inside her head.

She thought all of the members of her family, all the people who were close to her, she just wished for someone to appear and help her at that time.

And at that moment, she heard a voice coming from near her.

"What are you doing on the property of the Augustride Family?"
