My Villain Brothers Are Interfering With My Relationship

Edward was a boy who never talked about control. Maybe that’s why he didn’t open his mouth while Daniel and I were explaining everything that had happened after he ran away.

“Big brother. I missed you.”

Leo seemed to like Edward, whom he had not seen in a long time, so he hung on his back.

Normally, he would shake off Leo by saying it was annoying, but he was the younger brother he had not seen in a long time, so he accepted Leo with a firm face.

“I wrote a letter to the godmother again this morning just in case she didn’t know. If you knew that I was in the Kirgen Empire, I thought you might come to see us at least once.”

“Right.”

“You lost a lot of weight. Those bad guys! You didn’t eat well.”

“By the way, where was brother?”

Edward didn’t respond. He just fell into thoughts with sunken eyes.

Daniel and I waited for Edward’s answer. In the midst of this, Leo was the only one lying on the floor distractedly.

Seeing me like that, Edward finally opened his mouth.

“Sister. Never do anything like what you did yesterday again. It was too dangerous.”

“What? We came back fine.”

“We were lucky.”

“That’s right, but if I ever find you in that situation again, I’ll save you.”

“Then sister would be auctioned off with me.”

Instead of saying thank you for saving me, it’s absurd to say not to do that anymore. Who called me yesterday saying it was this way!

Edward spoke to me with elegant words, as if reading my face.

“But thank you so much for saving me, sister.”

“…”

Edward smiled brightly. It looked so elegant that the word aristocratic came to mind.

‘It seems that the hardship was not Eddie, but me.’

“Did you talk to Mrs. Miller?”

“Yes.”

Edward’s face seemed to darken for a moment.

“Don’t worry, I also gave her the letter.”

“Ah, thank you.”

“Anyways sister. You’ve lost a lot of weight.”

“Ah… Well, it’s because I’m still growing.”

That’s a lie. Not because I was growing up, but because I couldn’t eat. I haven’t had a proper meal since my family went bankrupt, but when I came here, I lost weight because I was locked up in the punishment room.

‘My clothes are baggy.’

I was originally skinny, but I felt even thinner there. It was my younger brothers who were really worried.

‘It was just a slice of bread for breakfast this morning.’

Leo, a natural glutton, complained that he didn’t have enough food and eventually gave up his share of bread.

It was heartbreaking to see Daniel’s hair getting brittle and Leo’s grumbling about being hungry.

Is that all? I don’t want to just look at Edward who appeared so skinny, and I’m going to die of hunger.

“Hah.”

“Yes?”

“Look after Daniel and Leo. I have a place to go.”

“Sister. Where…?”

“Mrs. Miller says she has an upset stomach and went to the bathroom.”

After making sure that no one around us was eavesdropping, I quickly got up and left the orphanage. Then I ran to death.

I seem to be running a lot these days, but I couldn’t help it because I was no longer the daughter of a wealthy family, but unlike the changed situation, my physical strength was the same, so it didn’t take long for me to catch my breath.

“Oh, I’m going to die.”

I hid among the bushes and checked my surroundings. People could be seen coming and going through the warehouse windows in the distance, but there didn’t seem to be anyone nearby.

‘Thank god.’

The place I came to was none other than an orchard. This orchard was where the girls came to help with the chores last time, and the silkworms in the warehouse were beyond the strawberry fields.

‘Ugh. It was terrible.’

When I remembered those disgusting insects, my shoulders trembled.

‘I hate bugs the most in the world!’

I rubbed my arms and looked at the window in the warehouse. Little by little, I made my way towards the strawberry field, making sure that no one was looking at me.

My goal was some strawberries and four eggs. I wanted to feed the children milk and cheese, but it seemed that it would not be easy to obtain them.

‘I’m sorry. When I grow up, I will pay you back.’

It was when I was sneaking closer to the strawberry field.

“It is fortunate that there were no casualties. Someone set the fire on purpose.”

The workers talked and came out of the warehouse. I quickly hid under the bushes.

“You said it was to get the slaves out? Some kid opened the door and the slaves ran away. It wasn’t just a lot of damage.”

I hurriedly covered my mouth as I was about to let out a gasp. They were talking about me.

It has only been a day, but the rumor has already spread like this? Maybe it’s good…

“It looks like they were looking for a nearby neighborhood like this. They ran wild to compensate for the Count or Viscount.”

Pls read only at pink muffin tl.

The worker who was talking looked around and lowered his voice.

“There was no such person, so there was a riot.”

My heart was racing and I was worried that the workers would find me.

If I am caught by slave traders, they will not stop me from becoming a slave. Ripping off my hair, hanging me upside down, beating me…

‘No. Let’s not think of something scary.’

Shaking my head, I watched the workers walk away. When they were nowhere to be seen, I quickly went to the strawberry field.

I picked the most ugly strawberries as much as possible, very little by little. I picked it up to the point where I couldn’t even smell it, and wrapped it in a handkerchief. After that, I ran to the chicken coop next to the warehouse.

When I lived in a mansion, chickens were never to be seen. That’s why I felt like a country girl the whole time I went to the chicken coop and took out the eggs.

‘It’s true that I’m in the countryside.’

Whether I’m a country girl or a city girl, why does it matter? It’s important to fill my brothers with these eggs.

It was when I left the chicken coop carefully.

“Huh…?”

I couldn’t hide my embarrassment for a moment at the existence at the end of my gaze. In front of me…

“Growl…”

It was a guard dog that guarded the orchard. It would be nice if it was a small dog, but unfortunately, he was the size of Daniel and was growling with sharp teeth.

All the dogs I know were so small that they were just cute even when they growl.

“Ah… Hi? Nice to meet you, nice to meet you…”

I tried to raise the corners of my lips, but I couldn’t calm myself down.

It was clear that I was about to run away. 

A confrontation ensued in a tense tension for a brief moment. And then.

“Ahh!”

Somehow, I thought that strawberries and eggs were easy to obtain. Looking at the twists and turns of my life so far, I must have fallen over in the chicken coop at least once and got covered in poop.

I ran to death to avoid being bitten. It’s okay not to eat and sleep, but I really hate being sick. If I get bitten by those teeth, I will lose my flesh and muscles.

So I ran as if I were going to die. I ran away until my legs felt weak, then climbed up the tree. I don’t have any experience climbing a tree, but I couldn’t remember how I climbed it.

“Hah. Hah.”

I sat on a branch and rested my head against the trunk. I was out of breath and my head was dizzy. My vision went dark repeatedly, and my whole body was sweaty.

Below, the dog with its teeth exposed was looking at me and barking. I took a deep breath and shook off my sweat-soaked clothes. Then I realized.

“Ah…”

It wasn’t sweaty. No, it was true that I was sweaty, but that wasn’t the reason my clothes were wet.

“…What’s this…”

The egg I had put in my arms had cracked and got all over my clothes. Worried about whether the strawberries would be okay, I opened the handkerchief. Fortunately, it was fine. The only thing that was not okay was everything else.

I brushed off the eggshells that were clinging to my clothes. It was worse than being beaten by Mrs. Miller. Beyond embarrassing… It was miserable.

The dog, who had been barking frantically, slowly lost interest. I leaned helplessly against the tree trunk as I watched the dog move away.

I didn’t want to go down. It would be more accurate to say that I didn’t want to move. It was terrifying to have to go back to the orphanage with only a few eggs and such a mess.

‘I hate it so much.’

Tears didn’t even come out. When the dazed state was broken, the sense of reality became dense and it seemed that it would become more miserable.

So I was just on the tree until the sun went down, staring blankly in the air.

When I returned to the orphanage, Leo was waiting for me, holding Edward’s hand in front of the nursery door.

“Sister!”

Leo, who saw me from afar, ran to me excitedly. I reached out my arm to stop him from jumping and hugging me tightly.

“Sister?”
