512 141. Falling (5)

* * *

Tap tap tap tap tap tap...….

Ann was constantly knocking on the table with her index finger. An appearance that sometimes bites nails and cannot hide one'

"Damn it, shit, shit...…!”

Mew, who sat opposite, also showed signs of agitation.

It is no exaggeration to say that their sisters were surviving in this family, looking only at Joshua.

He has never stood out in any of his time. Even when he was a backup jockey, after he became a jockey, even now.

In particular, he fought a rank-and-file war with Jin, a 15-year-old middle-class cadet, and has been on the decline ever since he lost.

Ciron and Rosa have never given them any attention.

He did not praise him for doing what he could call achievement, nor scolded him severely for making mistakes.

Mu and Ann were air. Like others who have not shown 'very outstanding' as pure blood.

"You need air...... 큭큭. A rug for nothing, just to brighten up outstanding brothers. Looking back, we've always been in that situation.”

"What are you talking about all of a sudden, sister? Is it time to indulge in that kind of sentiment? My big brother looks like he's done!"

"Not looking, it's already over. So we're done. Now we're no better than a chicken on the verge of a neck twist."

"Ha! Mother can't give up her big brother so easily. I'm sure you have an idea. Something, I'm sure, thought...….”

Unfortunately, Mu and Ann had no insight to see what Jean had come up with.

The sister, with a dark face, was recalling the day she was slapped by Luna a long time ago.

As far as I've seen, the youngest is not a very merciful child. You two had better be careful in the future.

......do you still have something to laugh at? older sister

No, I'm saying this because I'm really worried about you. It feels like it's been going wrong for some time, but you two are my brothers.

The youngest is not a very merciful child.

When she heard it from Luna, Sister Mu and Sister Anne were sure that Jean would never defeat Joshua.

Still, I wish I had been a little careful. The sisters always revealed more hostility to Jean than necessary, the results were not good every time, and now particularly the worst.

"......go to the youngest and pray?”

"Anne."

"You never know. I'll be your right-hand man, as we did to your big brother, and if you ask me to take it."

"We weren't right-handed. What did we do to our big brother? My big brother was just busy covering me up when I got into an accident. It's just that the big brother took us back because he looked pathetic. Maybe he saw himself in the two of us who were trampled on every time."

"Oh, my God, you want to sit still and wait for the day we die?”

There aren't many brothers who can take the next vacant post. Luntia, Dipus, Mary, Jean. The four were the only ones, and the sisters thought Jin was the most likely.

Anyone who has seen the Gaza Declaration would think so. And when Jean became a lyricist, they would surely be purged.

It was the same even if other brothers, not Jin, came to the throne. It occurred to me that there was no way to avoid purging, as Jean would not be removed and would take key posts because of her ability and the legacy of the first family.

"......no, I'll look for a new umbrella."

"Yes! Sister, you should! You can't die like this."

"First of all, we need to find out why she abandoned her big brother. Maybe it's because of my big sister.”

Ann's eyes grew bigger.

"Big sister?"

"Why would my father take my oldest sister to this Black Sea trip?" I think she might have tried to change her mind by showing her something. She knew that, so she abandoned Joshua's brother. I'm angry, but still my oldest sister is the best rider."

"As she said, there is only one big sister who can't object if she expresses her position of being a housekeeper. If the oldest sister were to be crowned......but we can survive."

Despair sometimes guides people to a dimly imagined world. The sisters were talking nonsense, pushing aside the reality that it couldn't be.

"Or is Luntia looking for the legacy of the first family? If I get the right results, my mother might support Luntia on behalf of my oldest brother. The chances are higher for Luntia than for her older sister."

"In a few days, I'd like to visit my mother...….”

As soon as I said that, I suddenly heard someone laughing behind the table.

"Ahahaha..."

Sreung!

At the same time, the sisters pulled out their swords and posed.

The place where the sisters used to be is Mu's room. They were also riders of Looncandel, although they were said to have been in a state of frustration. It gave me goose bumps that I didn't notice at all until someone came so close.

'I didn't see any sign of me.’

'This voice is...…!’

To my surprise, the laughter was the voice of a figure whose sister knew well.

"I can't listen anymore! Ladies. Oh, my God, do you really think Joshua is done?”

Playfully shining eyes, black hair, soft body shape.

"Eilina..."?

Ilina Looncandel.

It was surprising that someone broke in without any sign, but the fact that it made sense was even more shocking.

She is Joshua's wife.

"You, since when are you there?"

"How can you be so stupid and incompetent in a rider's uniform? The Looncandel I knew didn't do this."

Ilyna has never been so rude to her sister before.

Runcandel's riders rarely get married until the end of the sequencing war, until the household of that generation is determined.

It was because the risk of being purged and assassinated was too high.

Also, when a new family was born, it was common for surviving siblings to get married politically according to their family's.

However, Joshua married Illinois because he had been the next housekeeper for a long time.

Everyone thought Joshua was not famous for his ignorance, and that the reason he married Ilyna, whose origins were unclear, and who had no special ability, was just an impulse or a once-in-a-lifetime passion.

As evidenced by that, the wedding was very small, and the wedding was not open to the public.

Illinois remained as silent as a shadow after marriage. Never intruded into a dark fight or was greedy. Joshua, too, has rarely sought her residence since his honeymoon.

That's why members of the family thought that if Joshua found a new one after he became a housekeeper, Illinois would naturally disappear.

So did the sisters who are now looking at her out of the blue.

He's just Joshua's wife, and he doesn't have any personal power. Such an Olke was laughing at them.

There's nothing wrong with killing with a single stroke. Now that Joshua is in a dungeon, Ilina will also be in the process of falling or expelling.

But somehow.

The hand holding the sword did not move. Sisters are intuitively enlightened. Ilyna wasn't a nobody like they knew.

Also, if you strike a sword now, it will be you, not ILINA, who was nothing more than a rainbow until yesterday.

"You... ...what is it is?"

"What do you mean, ladies?"

"You're not asking because you don't know that!"

"You're only good at barking loudly anyway, aren't you?" The reason why my orphan cares about the ladies is because of their incompetence."

That's a slow, slow step.

"Mu, back off."

"Get lost..."

Mu and Ann unconsciously backed away when they saw her shadow growing bigger.

The shadow, placed under Illinois' feet, was drawing something completely different from her slender figure.

Just a demon or a monster, or something worse. The breathing of the sisters, who confirmed the change in shadows, became rapidly harsh.

There seemed to be an irresistible darkness.

Eventually, until Illinois was just around the corner, the sisters could not swing their swords. I was just shivering and sweating.

"Sa, save me... ... Help me. . . ..”

Wanted to beg for life, Looncandel's rider.

He gave up completely just by facing each other.

No matter how incompetent it may be, it's just not enough to discuss Looncandel's next household.

They have also been swordsmen who have been through a great deal of chaos. I've met a number of strong enemies, and every time I've met them, I've crossed life and death.

When dealing with an enemy apparently stronger than them, the sisters were never discouraged.

Like when I was slapped on the cheek by Luna, every time Mary beat me, every time I had the chance to fight Jean.

But as sisters who had never experienced the wrath of Zion, they had no choice but to be convinced that there was no greater fear in the world.

Illinois smiled softly at her sister.

"There's nothing to be afraid of, ladies. I won't hurt you.”

Whoooooooooong....!

The huge shadow of Illinois soared up and began to surround her.

The sister, looking up at the figure, was smiling and shedding tears.

A moment of despair, as if we had the hand of God's salvation together.

"Ha, ha, ha. ..."!”

[I am the prophet of disaster.]

Ilyna, who had escaped from the shadows, looked completely different from before.

The darkness, which should be called her body, filled the vast room, and the button-like face in the middle of it was a grotesque figure, swollen as if it were about to burst.

[An orphan, hold my hand.]

Mu and Ann knelt down and stretched their trembling hands toward Ilina. I felt something cold and warm, indescribable, holding hands.

[I'll be your parents. Say you want.]

"I want..."

Then the sister's shadow was carved like broken glass.

One of the largest masses was absorbed into the arms of Illinois.

The despair that has been embraced as a sad orphan will make you more valuable...….]

Before long, Illinois's body became smaller again.

Under her feet was a shadow that looked normal, coming back to the way the sisters remembered. The sisters were still on their knees.

"The role of saving Joshua, our orphan. It's for the ladies. You can do it, right?”

The sister nodded, with a belief she had never had before.
