“Ahaha! Just kidding.”
I smiled and handed the paper to Ryan.
"Look, Dad. You don't know, since you've never seen the Windsor Castle kids. Below them, I'm the eleventh, Alex is the twelfth, the youngest, and there are no more."
"Hmm."
Ryan began to read the list slowly.
Then he closed his eyes tightly.
“...What are numbers 7 and 8? Why did these blessings just appear to support our family’s devilish antics?”
I agree...
Number 7, Bridget, has a telepathy-type ability, and number 8, Marina, has a stealth-type ability.
“At this point, our father... didn’t he just pick and choose the blessings for his children...?”
"Miss."
It's funny, but it's not funny...
“Wait a minute. What’s number 10?!”
Ryan's mouth dropped open as he confirmed the blessing of his half-sister, Krista, who was the same age as him.
“Isn’t this the name you asked to be saved by?”
"Yes..."
The storm's wrath.
“It’s a top-tier attack blessing?”
"Yes..."
Ryan and I both looked at each other with confused expressions, speechless.
Conversation can be had without needing long explanations.
Those who possess the highest level attack series blessings will naturally be used by their families, whether they like it or not.
“Please, I beg you. She’s such a good kid.”
“That’s why you asked me to spare jer life.”
“I hope that child doesn’t suffer in the family for too long.”
“...My daughter is so emotional in urging me to train my Bless quickly.”
“...”
Ryan placed his hand on my chin as I smiled weakly.
“Yes. Let’s do it as quickly as possible.”
“Thank you, Dad...”
“Vania.”
"...Yes?"
I looked up at Ryan. His eyes were somehow determined.
"There's nothing we can do about the children who are already under their father's care. You know that, right?"
“Oh, yeah...”
“So don’t think about it and worry about it. You’ll only be suffering.”
Those words made me realize why he, who was more affectionate and attentive than he seemed, had come to my room so late at night.
"I'll make sure we meet again someday. Even if you miss her, just wait a little longer."
He came to comfort me.
I looked depressed after receiving Richard's gift earlier, so I guess he must have been worried about me.
The tip of my nose felt tingly.
“Yeah, I will. Thank you so much...”
“And I’m sorry.”
Suddenly?
“...What else?”
“Just by looking at your expressions, I can tell that you weren’t normally close, even with Alex and your brother Richard.”
“...”
“...If I hadn’t met you like this, I would have... um. killed them all.”
Ryan, who had been hesitating with a sigh, turned around and ruffled my hair.
“...”
Last time, this man apologized with a cut-and-dried apology. And I know what he meant.
It wouldn't be 'I would have killed him'.
He guessed that I was going to return, so he said he was sorry for 'killing' me.
“Don’t apologize. Dad hasn’t killed anyone yet, so why do you keep saying sorry?”
I got up and walked towards Ryan, who was turning around.
After looking into his bitter-looking eyes for a while, I carefully approached him and hugged him.
Ryan, who had been frozen for a moment, hugged me with a small laugh.
I thought as I hugged him.
'And you... didn't kill those two people I just mentioned.'
I want to tell you, but I have no choice but to swallow my words.
Alez and Richard.
The two did not die at Ryan's hands.
Alex is immortal, and at the time, his <Immortal Blood> was trained to its maximum level.
Ryan's "Instant Death" doesn't cause any physical damage to the target. Therefore, even if Alex had been hit by Ryan, he would have survived.
And my brother Richard...
'He wasn't there.'
Richard Wassenberg.
He is the brother who took his own life at the age of twenty-two.
So, before Ryan returned, it was the day of the massacre.
He was no longer of this world.
The next day.
Our lord, Ryan, was having breakfast without a wink of sleep.
As of yesterday, with the addition of Alex, Lord Belzer's family now consists of six members.
The table is very noisy.
But Ryan is the only one who can't join in on their conversation and laughs.
He remembers the half-brothers from Windsor Castle that Vania told him about last night, and their blessings.
He is now...
I'm so curious, I'm going crazy!
'What I really want to know is, your bless!'
Ryan glanced at Vania, who was diligently spreading jam on bread.
The eleventh child of Duke Edgar Wassenberg.
Vania Wassenberg.
Now it's Vania Belzer.
A shocking disruption to the ecosystem of people with special abilities, where it is common sense for each person to possess at least one special ability.
It was clear that Vania had more than one ability. But any information beyond that... was uncertain.
'Wow, if it wasn't a death list, you should have written your name on it too!'
Why did you write only the fifth to the tenth?
Ryan also saw Alex sitting next to Vania, laughing heartily.
‘...I’m also curious about what that bless is.’
Ryan is convinced that a child of the "chosen blood" Wassenberg family cannot be incompetent.
Aleclx must have had some special ability that was given to him from birth.
But what if he doesn't develop this ability until this late?
Since the selected holder with the same ability is still alive, he will be in an unaware state, where he cannot inherit the power.
'That guy Aleclx, he must have been considered incompetent even before his regression, right? Then his father would have killed him or disappeared him, of course...'
Vania had confidently trusted her nanny Emma and her butler Ralph, who had followed Alex to Belzer.
“Just looking at those two faces, it looks like they would die for Alex.”
'It seems that the nanny and the butler died trying to stop the father from dealing with Alex...'
Well, this kind of reasoning isn't difficult.
If he can't inherit this ability anyway, then Alex doesn't need to be curious anymore.
So, as expected...
'I'm so curious about that rabbit blessing! It's so frustrating!'
Actually, he asked her a question yesterday as they were saying goodbye and saying goodbye.
“...Oh, you’re the same Bless as your third older sister, right?”
"Curious?"
Oh my god!
Vania, who expected a 'yes' or 'no' and asked back, 'Are you curious?' as if she had been waiting for it.
Ryan's heart pounded. He felt the time had finally come.
It seems like she has no intention of hiding the fact that she has returned, so what would be difficult about revealing exactly what her special ability is?
However, Ryan tried to wait until Vania spoke first.
It seemed that Vania needed more time to trust her guardian, Ryan.
“...I’m really curious.”
“Yes. Come closer.”
When she smiled and waved her hand, he ran to her like a dog and gave her his ear.
“If you’re curious, 50 million gold.”
“...Wow, this is it?!!!”
“Hahahahaha! Revenge, you lion!”
The crazy rabbit must have been holding out for a day or two, but she finally got her revenge...
"Ha..."
I'm curious, so I'll go back.
Vania looked at Ryan, perhaps sensing his gaze piercing through her.
When their eyes met...
He chuckles and laughs spitefully.
“Ah!”
I smiled and handed the paper to Ryan.
"Look, Dad. You don't know, since you've never seen the Windsor Castle kids. Below them, I'm the eleventh, Alex is the twelfth, the youngest, and there are no more."
