Chapter 440 – Chapter 440 Magic School Shutra (3-51)
“Hello, Seong Soo-ho. Thank you for responding to this call.”
“… ?”
It was a completely incomprehensible situation.
It was only natural that Anna was in her room, but it was a little unexpected that Karin was here.
Even at night when no one is walking around….
It was unreasonable to light up the entire room with the candle Karin was holding and the one on the table.
However, thanks to the candles that only lit a certain part of it, we were able to concentrate while looking at each other’s faces.
Compared to Karin, who had a relaxed expression, Anna was looking at me with an anxious expression.
I was able to realize one fact while feeling the air current of a strange atmosphere flowing between the two.
‘Looks like he told me.’
That said, it was Karin rather than Anna who called me here.
And the shocking information that follows!
[Jeff Potts is in the room.]
‘What!? Where?’
[Currently hiding in the closet of the room. However, judging from the temperament window, it seems that it was not hidden, but fell asleep drunk with sleeping pills.]
Because of the absurd situation, I couldn’t control my expression and frowned.
I was able to point out who did this monstrous thing without thinking about it.
Unknowingly, I caught my attention on the closet where Jeff was hiding, and Karin looked at the closet with me, as if she had seen my gaze, and smiled at me.
“Please sit down.”
“Yes….”
The atmosphere was like entering a vampire’s mansion.
The chandelier dangling from the top had no embers running, and the room was lit only by two candles.
In my eyes, Karin and Anna gave off a gloomy atmosphere that made them look like vampire mother and daughter.
As Karin said, I sat down at the table with candles on.
And at the same time, Anna with a disgruntled expression sat down, and behind her, Karin stood as if she were the organizer and began to look at me and her Anna.
Looking at it alternately like that for a while… I got into the mood and proceeded with the story.
“Seong Su-ho, did you enjoy your fiery love with my mother?”
“Karin! As I said before, don’t frame people like that!”
“It’s not a motherfucker. Mother….”
Karin stood behind Anna, who was sitting with the sound of her boots dragging her floor in an elegant red dress, and she put her hands on her shoulders and began to smile strangely.
“Did you really think I wouldn’t notice?”
“Wrong! Do you dare to insult this mother now!?”
“Incredible….”
Karin lowered her head and put her lips to her ear and whispered to her as I glanced at her.
“I can’t believe my mother is so upset about just one man.”
“… Cancel your words now.”
As Anna stood up, she let go of the look that had been weighed down by her momentum and began to stare at Karin with her usual charisma.
Karin looked at Anna like that, but she wasn’t overwhelmed at all and instead smiled.
“Oh? Are you mad at me for insulting that man?”
“Be careful with your words. This is a guest in our family. What you are doing is out of courtesy to the guest.”
“A guest… But, on the other hand, if the guest is rude, wouldn’t the story be different?”
“It’s great….”
Even though Anna was angry, she couldn’t get the words out easily.
Anna gave birth to Karin, and she would have known her all her life.
If you show a gap, she is a woman who squeezes in and turns it into a weakness….
One slip of the tongue from Anna could have had a big impact.
Karin opened her mouth again in her soft voice as she watched Anna stare at her silently.
“For now, calm down and sit down. Mother.”
“….”
Clearly Karin’s lines were full of respect for her mother.
However, Karin’s expression and tone of voice showed her coercive and commanding side.
To Karin….
“….”
Anna was not able to attack easily, lowered her tail and sat down in her chair again.
Inside her room, candles that spread orange light began to sway from side to side as she tried to break the awkward silence.
Karin closed her eyes and smiled, as if she was enjoying the silence. After a while, she opened her eyes and started looking at me.
“Do you have any excuses to make?”
“I’m talking about my sister, but he has nothing to do with it….”
“Mother, I am asking him. Please be quiet.”
“It’s great….”
Karin’s fierce eyes suppressed Anna’s spirit and she began to shut her mouth.
Karin silenced her Anna, then she looked at me and asked again with intense eyes.
“Make excuses. Did you enjoy the fiery pranks with my mother?”
“….”
At this point, I could roughly guess Karin’s intentions.
She used Anna’s relationship with me to try to sort out all of her messed up relationships at once.
She didn’t fully know Karin’s plans yet, but Karin certainly told me.
(I’ll make it so that the two men can turn into your entertainment. Even at the risk of my life…)
Me and Anna, me and Louis, me and Jeff, and Karin related to me in between everything.
‘Great. Let’s make it a joke.’
Thinking so, I let out a small sigh and opened my mouth.
“Me and the Duchess don’t have that kind of relationship.”
“….”
Anna began to look at me with tears in her eyes, as if she would be hurt by my words.
I looked at her and opened her mouth.
“Everything happened because of my greed.”
“… Greed?”
“I approached her Duchess and, impatient with her, turned her… It came over Everything is my fault.”
As soon as Anna heard me say that, she jumped up in amazement and shouted at me.
“Why are you lying like that!”
“Anna is not responsible. All the sins are on me.”
“No sin! What sins have you committed… Rather, I made you like this….”
I constantly reminded her that Anna was not at fault and covered her with all of my sins, while Anna scolded me for my actions and covered them with her own sins.
Anna and I showed the appearance of sacrificing everything without backing down like lovers who deeply love each other.
I glanced at her for a while, wondering if this was the picture Karin wanted….
‘What? Isn’t that what you want?’
Karin was looking at Anna and I with cold eyes as they blamed each other.
[I don’t know the exact plan, but jealousy seems to rise as they care for each other.]
‘… Difficult.’
It’s difficult being a woman.
What else did she get angry about after she decorated it? .
As Karin watched Anna and I quarrel, her annoyed expression forced her to smile awkwardly.
“Love fight… It’s fun.”
“Karin….”
Anna heard her Karin’s cold voice, felt her unusual aura, and began to ask her.
“As a mother, please. Keep doing this I’ll give you anything you want.”
“This is what my mother looks like… It’s really strange.”
Anna would never have asked Karin to lower her stance like this in her entire life.
The two love each other as mother and daughter, but maintain a love-hate relationship in which they are jealous of each other as women.
They were even talented enough to become the pillars of the family as aristocrats, not just commoners living on the street.
They must have been playing fierce chess in the invisible darkness, fighting for the rest of their lives while being formal in front of each other.
The sight of Anna bowing her head for the first time in such a fierce fight was unfamiliar to Karin.
Karin nodded her head, raised one corner of her mouth, and smiled at her.
“I know. I will keep quiet about this.”
“I-really!?”
“Of course. I… I don’t want my mother to be the gossip of others.”
“That, yes… Thank you so much for thinking that way. Please do anything I can ask for. Didn’t you want to get married? As soon as I return to my home country, I will lead the conversation about breaking up the engagement.”
Anna started to come forward to solve all the scheming she had secretly committed against Karin as if she hadn’t done it herself.
Anna began talking to Karin as if she were vomiting everything she could.
She did not have the appearance of Anna, who had been equipped with her dignity and dignity.
She only wanted her love for me and herself to be unknown to the world.
So, after Anna made all the suggestions she could, she began to look at Karin in her eyes.
Karin’s mysterious smile made Anna nervous, swallowing her saliva and waiting for her words.
As Karin looked at Anna and smiled meaningfully, she embarrassed Anna.
“Heir position… Give it to me, please.”
“That, that….”
The current head of the Brandtrup family is Kai Brandtrup, the father of Lewis and Karin.
However, there was one fact that I was able to know based on the stories I heard from Anna and Karin in their dreams.
“Kai Brandrup… He was a human who lived in captivity by Anna.’
He had never imagined that such a charismatic man would be swayed by a woman.
In other words, her family itself was a point where Anna’s influence was quite large.
However, it was impossible to decide her successor with Anna’s decision alone.
“If you’re a clever kid like you, don’t you already know? That… It is impossible.”
“….”
No matter how much Anna had the great influence of her family, she could never ignore the external part.
A rare magical genius named Lewis appears, but he ignores it and succeeds the family to Karin?
Perhaps the nobles around him, as well as the royal family, would come under pressure.
Even Lewis was now the idol of the surrounding aristocrats.
Rather, the center of the Brandrup family will be moved to the expelled Louis, and the Brandrup family, led by Karin, will gradually lose its power.
Having a family like that would never benefit Karin.
Furthermore, he could have suffered the disgrace of decorating the last head of the Brandrup family in history.
Karin nodded her head in agreement with Anna’s words.
“Then, please support me in choosing a successor in three years.”
“… I get it.”
She judged that the support itself was ostensibly harmless.
If Louis becomes the successor anyway, she can use an excuse by telling others that she will support Karin without embarrassment.
Anna had decided that it was more important to resolve the immediate situation now rather than later.
Once the situation has been settled.
However, Karin did not stop and pushed Anna.
“You’re having a hard time with a man… It’s really amazing.”
“I would have said… Such a story….”
Now Anna was more resentful of her looking at me than swearing at herself.
It might be because she was dependent on her, but it was actually nice to see Anna like that.
In a sense, the most courageous woman here would be Anna.
She was unaware of her whole situation and she was just bending herself over with the thought of protecting me.
Looking at Anna like that, Karin was rather cynical, and she started looking at me and Anna alternately.
“Actually, I admit that too. This time around with Seong Su-ho, he was such a great person that I realized why her mother fell in love with her.”
“Whoa… When the story is over, let him go. Then, just the two of us, let’s have a proper talk.”
It was the moment Anna tried to send me back like that.
“Mother, I have one more request.”
“Request? I’ll listen to what you’re asking for, so I’ll send him away….”
Karin didn’t pay any attention to Anna’s words, and she came over to me, and she started looking down at me with a provocative smile.
Karin gently stroked my chin with her skinny fingers in her glove, then she looked down at me and smiled seductively.
“I… I want to have this one.”
