90. To become a suitable person for Damian. The family must be annihilated (4)

90.

Justia Ibasten.

From an early age, he always heard the same voice from his father.

“You must become strong, Ibasten. In order to become strong, you must possess strong power by any means necessary.”

Ivasten, then 7 years old, nodded his head, not knowing what it meant.

The Grand Duke’s family is full of war heroes who protect the north.

Because the words of the father who led the Grand Duke were absolute.

However, as the cold of the north grew stronger, Ibasten felt the meaning of the words keenly.

“War. Ibasten.”

“…Yes?”

“You too, hurry up and get ready. If it’s the Justia family, you should definitely participate.”

It is said that men are strong only when they participate in war.

Ibasten’s father.

After saying that, Ubisten dragged Ibasten to the battlefield.

A desperate battle for survival in which people risk their lives.

Not a snowfield, but a snowfield covered in blood.

Ubisten put his hand on Ibasten’s shoulder and said.

“Look closely, Ibasten. That’s war. The weak die quickly, only the strong survive. I hope you don’t become a failure like your brothers.”

“…”

Iva Sten at a young age watched the horrors of war with his eyes wide open.

Let’s keep watching, Ubisten was right.

Weak people die easily.

However, strong people die a little later.

A really strong person can kill dozens of people and still survive.

Seeing that in his eyes, Ibasten muttered as he gripped the sword in his hand.

“…You have to be strong. Just like your father said, you have to do whatever it takes. You have to survive.”

Because it’s the Grand Duchess Justia of the North.

Because it shouldn’t be a failure.

Like my older brothers who died.

“Because I was born into a grand ducal family.”

Hereditary.

A young age.

Three years spent on the battlefield.

Without a choice, it was enough time for Ibasten’s thoughts to harden.

***

Office.

Ibasten stood up from his chair and welcomed Yuri with a benevolent smile.

“You’re back at last, my daughter.”

Crazy.

As soon as I heard Ibasten’s words, I immediately thought of it.

That bastard is crazy.

It is clear that he has no conscience left in his heart.

I held Yuri’s hand tighter.

“…Don’t listen to that bastard, Yuri.”

“…”

Yuri didn’t answer.

When I turned her head to check her expression, her face was pale and her expression hardened with bewilderment.

The accident seemed to have stopped because the situation was different from what she had predicted in her head.

‘I knew that… Hearing about Yuri from the academy… It’s not a failure, it’s a judgment call.’

The thoughts of selfish parents.

You are not my child when your grades are low.

However, when grades are high, it is more than anyone else’s own child.

No matter how much Ibasten’s past is like that, what he did to Yuri cannot be erased no matter what.

“A bastard with no conscience.”

“Beside him is Sinclair Damian, who came to the family back then.”

I glared at Ibasten and spat out words ferociously.

“As if nothing happened. Can you say that? After doing that to Yuri?”

Then, Ibasten asked back as if he didn’t understand.

“What did I do?”

“You beat Yuri every day! As an excuse to make her stronger!”

“It’s not an excuse, it’s a fact.”

“What?”

“Don’t you know? People become stronger when pushed into extreme situations. I experienced it myself, and Yuri also experienced it myself.”

“Ha.”

I automatically laughed out loud at the nonsense.

Yuri, like me, doesn’t seem to agree with Ibasten’s words.

He hid behind me and nodded timidly.

“Me, I didn’t become stronger because of my father… Heh, I became stronger because of Damian… Ha, don’t say anything…”

Her body shuddered violently, even her voice trembled.

Yuri declared with conviction.

Ibasten I didn’t become stronger because of you.

At that, Ivar Sten hardened her expression.

“It’s not because of me? That sounds funny. It’s all thanks to me that you were able to grow to that level.”

“What, what…?”

“Then. When you set the mansion on fire and ran away. Thanks to me, you were able to make your brother Isen that way. Are you going to deny that?”

Isen.

The one who chased us back then.

This is Yuri’s older brother who drove me into half-death.

And, crucially, Yuri doesn’t remember what happened back then.

No, I don’t remember.

“My, what did I do…? I, I didn’t do anything…”

“You really didn’t do it? Issen said you killed them all?”

Didn’t you kill him?

Yuri glanced at me at Ibasten’s words.

Anyway, it seemed unpleasant that the story of that time came out in front of me.

She started muttering in a timid tone.

“That, stop talking about that time… Well, I only need to inherit the title…”

“Why are you avoiding it, Yuri? Isn’t it something to be proud of? You made your brother look like that.”

“That, stop…!”

“Killing all the knights, gouging out your brother’s eyes so he couldn’t see anything, and cutting off his arms so he couldn’t do anything. You, who were a failure, broke the limit. Wasn’t it a very good move?”

“That, stop…!!”

“…”

The interior of the office was frozen cold at the sound of Yuri’s cry.

‘What did I just hear? Glass… Didn’t I kill my brother?’

Listen to what Ibasten said.

Although all of her knights were annihilated, her own brother Isen was spared.

Even with her eyes and arms cut off.

No matter how you think about it…

‘You’re trying to save me and make me suffer more… ‘

Sug-

I carefully turned her head to look at the glass.

Yuri’s pupils trembled from side to side as if uneasy.

She took my hand and shook her head.

“Oh, no… De, Damian… I didn’t do it… That, that… n, my brother… did it himself…”

“…”

“But, I’m sorry to Damian… I said I was wrong… I did it myself… That, so… Don’t fall for my father’s words… Well, I’m absolutely not… Ah, okay…?”

Explaining urgently, not insisting on Yuri.

But I already found out.

‘You mean that happened?’

That day.

What Yuri did to save me.

How I made Issen who touched me.

“Please, please… Believe me, Damian… I, I never did… Uhhh…?”

“Whose words are right? You can see for yourself and listen to them.”

“Everyone, shut up…!!”

It seems that Yuri must never be caught by me.

She thought that if she got caught, she would be abandoned by me. She screamed louder than usual and screamed in desperation.

If the truth of her own crime is revealed, I wonder if I will throw her away.

I was afraid.

“Haa…”

“Damian…?”

I messed up my hair in a complicated situation.

I’ve said it many times, but what the hell does Yuri think of me?

“I-I didn’t do it… that, it was my brother alone… that, so-“

“Glass.”

“Eh, huh…?”

Kwaak-

I held Yuri’s hand warmly and said.

“I don’t care what you did in the past. Even if it’s true, you did it to save me.”

“Damian…”

“And don’t keep thinking that I’m abandoning you. I don’t know how many times I’ve said it. I have no intention of abandoning you.”

I can’t commend you for that.

I have no intention of throwing it away.

Anyway, Yuri and I are in a relationship that can be considered as one body.

So…

“Let’s deal with Ibasten first. We must finish your revenge. Even if that person is kind to you now. What you did will not be erased.”

“Oh, that’s right… Damian… As Damian said… I want to inherit the title… Well, if that person continues to live… Me and you, Damian, will be in danger…”

In order for us to get married.

My father must die.

After saying that, Yuri drew her sword and concentrated.

Seeing that, Ibasten murmured as if he had no regrets.

“…I thought I became a person in a failed work. It’s a pity. Contrary to Issen, the mind wasn’t perfected, only the body was perfected. So, I had no choice.”

I guess I’ll have to scrap the failed work.

Ibasten hid the benevolent smile he showed earlier.

He shouted as he pulled out the sword he had placed beside his desk.

“Come on, my daughter. Let’s see your skills for the first time in a while. You’d better fight with all your might. Otherwise…”

I will kill the man next to you in front of you.

“…”

Hearing that, Yuri immediately drew her sword and leaped forward.

Yuri’s past is being sorted out.

And it was the moment when Yuri was succeeded as the new grand duke.

***

Yuri swung her sword at Ivar Sten.

With a frown on his face, he hurried to receive the glass sword.

Watching that, Yuri thought to herself.

‘… Bird, it’s worth doing more than you think. Not the me of the past Finally, the moment has come when I can help Damian.’

And.

Damian believed in me.

Even after hearing what happened at that time.

Even when I hear stories I don’t know if I did or not.

You trusted me.

‘I was a fool to doubt Damian… Damian is my friend who always gives me strength… ‘

Than the outstanding father in front of me.

You believed my foolish words more.

I have to repay you.

By all means and methods.

Yuri twisted the corners of her mouth and swung her sword flat.

Shaak-!!

‘Cut, cut.’

With the feeling of being caught in the hand, clothes that are stained with blood and scattered.

Seeing that, Iva Sten frowned as if she didn’t like it.

“…Looks like you’ve gotten a lot stronger than I thought, my daughter, Yuri.”

“Dah, don’t call me daughter… I’ve never thought of her as a daughter…”

“I’m thinking about it now.”

“Everyone, shut up…!”

After all, we weren’t talking.

“The problem is that mouth…”

Ah, I remembered.

Yuri then.

She remembered what had happened in the bloody snowfield.

‘The mouth was also a problem at that time.’

My brother Issen told me.

I will kill Damian at any cost.

That’s why I made my brother like that.

To never be able to do anything again.

I made a failure with my own hands.

‘By the way… You said your eyes and arms were hurt… ‘

Looks like your father hasn’t heard it all either.

I’m glad.

Yuri looked at Ibasten’s chest, which she had cut off.

His bleeding wound was slowly regenerating.

“Obviously… I think I made him more… like a flop… Replayed…?”

No, that doesn’t matter now.

My brother is a failure anyway, and I just need to become Grand Duke Justia from today.

For Damian.

“Because even this isn’t enough to repay Damian.”

Yuri imagined a promising future and smiled so that Damian couldn’t see it.

The fact that Issen was tortured more brutally.

Absolutely nothing like that.

It was an incident that only Yuri did not want to remember, which he did not want Damian to know.

“Ehehehe…”
