[IHTTMBW] Chapter 7

Noble decorations were placed on the wall despite not being extremely impressive. Famous paintings and a golden candlestick were hung on the wall. There was also a bookshelf with many books, as nobody thought that this was a child’s room.

I tilted my head.

“Myrthi… above all…”

I just said anything that came to mind because I wanted to find out where I was.

‘Um, where am I? To where Valk took me?’

Then, I was reminded of what he said. He said that he took me, who was sleeping like an insect. Did he take me? He took me away. Who lived in the princess’ palace? Does that mean he entered the princess’ palace? It’s scary. I slowly turned my head and looked at the boy.

He had blonde hair like honey and deep red eyes. His face was sharp, but there was also some baby fat.

What?

“Myrthi… than you…cuter than you.”

“Ha, I see. I see.”

Maybe my guess was wrong. Please, it has to be wrong!

How can I seduce him if this is his first impression of me? I tried to speak in the most adorable voice.

It failed.

I was just guessing about him at the moment, but the maid who knocked on the door immediately gave me the right answer.

“Prince Euphil, Here are the towel and refreshments you requested.”

Euphil? The tyrant Euphil who killed his father and brothers? The cruel man? The man who killed Myrthi without any hesitation, even though she begged for her life? I felt dizzy.

“Come in.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

The maid entered the room, put on the towel and refreshments, and exited shortly afterwards. It seemed the maid was not permitted to stay long in the room.

I looked at the tray with my mouth watering.

‘Cookie, cookie, cookie! Cookie!’

All human beings are crazy about sweet things. In the past life, I liked sweet things even when I was 22.

“You…. Euvil…….”

“It seems you already knew my name. I am your half-brother, Euphil Raize.”

“Euvil…… Half……”

“How could a child know the meaning of half-brother? We are the same, both abandoned.”

He’s only a 10-year-old kid, but he spoke like an adult.

“Aban...doned? Why?”

There was no need for me to ask. I already knew the reason. The queen died as soon as she gave birth to me. However, I’m a five-year-old Myrthi. It’s required that nobody notice that I knew something. Above all, this was to seduce Euphil. I had to be recognised as his younger sister.

I tilted and looked at him as if I couldn’t understand anything.

“How can you know it, stupid? Can you guess the reason why your garden in your palace is so messy?”

“Why?”

“That is, the King ……”

I walked to him.

The moment when he was about to say that I was abandoned, I held his hand tightly.

Euphil was embarrassed.

I opened my purple eyes wide and looked at him with a smile.

“Euvil, are you my older brother?”

“No.”

He replied clearly.

“You cannot be my sister. Your mother and my mother are different.”

“Mom?”

Oh, this was a sensitive issue.

But during that time, Euphil still had not shaken off my hand.

‘Oh-oh. He is not shaking off my hands.’

I guess he was just like me. He was the one abandoned by the king. Then, who would be good and kind to him?

I smiled at him again and continued to hold onto his hand tightly.

“Myrthi has never seen my brother before.”

“I am not your brother.”

“Brother and sister… I learned I need to call my older brother ‘oppa’”

“What? Who told you that?”

Who? It’s certainly from Korean culture. But this is not Korea. I tilted my head repeatedly and had time to think. Then, I told him.

“Ante!”

“Ante? Who is that?”

“Um…… Ante, she is giving me the food.”

Yes, she gave me food. And hits and pinches me all the time.

But she did not teach me or give me information about my mom. She just told me I was not like my mother and that she was beautiful.

‘She’s a liar.’

How pretty I am. I was annoyed when I thought of Ante but forced myself to smile. This is my first time being with Euphil. I had to show him that I’m a pure and naive half-sister.

He looked like he felt bad. Did I do something wrong?

“Huh, do you listen to the maid?”

“Maid?”

“I mean the women who come and go.”

“How do you know everything, oppa?”

Whew. I did nothing wrong.

Holding his hand tight, I looked around his room. I saw something among the cookies I had wanted to eat initially, and there were macaroons!

He looked in the direction that I was staring at.

“I thought you needed to wash your face, which was dust-filled.”

“What is that?”

“It’s a towel.”

“No. what the… I mean the round ones.”

I almost said what the heck.

But, I must not make him feel bad. I almost lost my mind because of the cookies. No, no, no, no.

I gazed at his face as if I was begging for something.
