“Brother, what if I get scolded by Father? I used my special ability.”
"...I know."
Christa asked worriedly. Richard sighed.
The two who arrived at the trolley stop were worried about what had happened to them a little while ago when they had left the two men behind.
It was his first time going out without an escort, so he was already worried, but as expected, a small commotion occurred.
Richard was worried about Christa next to him, so he grabbed someone and asked them to accompany him.
Still, he believed that they were men who helped strangers they didn’t even know...
“Why did that person ask if we were going there?”
"Well, I don't know either. But I don't think he's a bad person, so maybe he misunderstood because of our behavior."
“Ugh, I couldn’t even buy bread... I’m sorry I suggested you go buy it, brother. I didn’t know you’d have to wait in line...”
“No. You might not know.”
The bread that Christa has been eating often these days.
She just realized that the bread that was supposed to be available for immediate consumption upon ordering was so hard to come by.
At seventeen, Richard felt the first thing he had ever felt when he stood in line to buy bread.
That he was very ignorant of the ways of the world.
“That was really delicious, I really wanted to feed it to Bunny...”
Richard sighed as he watched Christa mutter regretfully.
Yes, Vania.
Now the two were on their way to meet Vania.
A few days ago.
Richard lay there listlessly, as always. As he sat there, someone's voice, without fail, came to mind.
“Honey, can we live together?”
His younger sister, Vania, asked gloomily.
“Christa told me before that there was someone among our brothers who was incompetent.”
At that time, Vania was anxious, thinking that she might be incompetent too.
“How do you use this ability? Brother, can you show me this ability just once?”
His heart ached, and that was all he could do.
"...I know."
Christa asked worriedly. Richard sighed.

A few days ago.
Richard lay there listlessly, as always. As he sat there, someone's voice, without fail, came to mind.
“Honey, can we live together?”
His younger sister, Vania, asked gloomily.
“Christa told me before that there was someone among our brothers who was incompetent.”
At that time, Vania was anxious, thinking that she might be incompetent too.
“How do you use this ability? Brother, can you show me this ability just once?”
His heart ached, and that was all he could do.
His little sister was amazed when she saw the feet of flying birds being tied together.
He couldn't forget the bitter expression on that kid's face as he said, "That's cool, I'm jealous."
“Don’t worry, Bunny. We’ll be together.”
While he was happily living with his family, how much pain and loneliness must have been felt by the young child, left behind in the castle where his brothers had mostly left.
The news that came from the castle every now and then was dismal.
The story goes that Vania, anxious about the delayed awakening of her supernatural powers, is mentally exhausted and cries day and night. She's become very sensitive...
One day, she even attempted self-harm by putting her hand into a burning fireplace.
“I... don’t want to die...”
When Diana, the third sister with the healing ability, visited Windsor Castle after receiving a call, Vania told Richard, who followed her.
If I weren't a person with special abilities, I wouldn't be able to become part of my brother's family.
I might die.
It's scary. Now I just want to live.
"Ha."
Richard lay on his bed like a corpse and sighed.
He wondered if his father would be that cruel, but in the end, all of Vania's worries became reality.
Seriously, he barely managed to survive.
“Richard.”
His father and brothers often visited Richard to console him when he was depressed.
That day, his older sister Brigitte.
"Father worried. How long are you going to just lie around like this? Should you go for a change of pace with your sister?"
“...No, I don’t think so.”
Brigitte didn't understand Richard's depression.
"You have other siblings. It's not like they can't do anything for you. But why are you so obsessed with them?"
“...”
"No matter what they do, they'll never return to our family. Declaring an incompetent person as his son and bringing him in will tarnish my father's reputation, but it's also a matter directly related to our safety."
Richard covered his eyes with his arm and turned his head away. Brigitte, angered by his consistent response, burst out in anger.
"You heard about Marina running away from home, and my father temporarily disabled our powers, right? Rumors spread that something was wrong with our abilities, and there was chaos."
How many spies have dared to attack without fear? How many more ridiculous rumors have spread that several members of the family have become incompetent?
Even after quite some time had passed, spies were still swarming, and those who hated Wassenberg continued to spread false rumors.
“If it becomes known to the outside world that there really are such things as incompetent people, it would be a huge threat to us.”
“But I don’t understand why I can’t even meet my siblings.”
“You idiot!”
Brigitte shouted.
“I’m saying that associating with those who have been excommunicated is giving those who want to slander us an excuse?”
“...”
"What if the kids who left Windsor Castle spread the word that they were our father's children? And what if they got involved with Ryan Wassenberg, the man who was raising them? You know he's known as a murderer who abused his powers, right?"
“...”
"Father deliberately excommunicated him to protect the family image. But it's just a rumor. Even if it's just a rumor, it's not good news!"
Richard covered himself with the blanket without a word. It was an expression of his unwillingness to say anything more.
“You’re the only one suffering and missing them like this, but they're living a very happy life?”
Brigitte sighed, tilting her head back as if she was tired.
"They don't think of you as family anymore. If you go and poke around, they'll probably be afraid of upsetting his father, so they won't even welcome it."
"No, that's not true. Vania and Alex aren't like that. We miss each other more than anyone else. I miss them so... so much."
“Oh, my.”
Brigitte sighed at the sound of Richard sobbing under the blanket.
“...Would you mind if I just let you see their face once? Then you’ll give up your foolish thoughts?”
"What?"
Richard threw off the covers and sat upright. Brigitte burst out laughing at the absurdity of his reaction, which had been so lethargic the entire time.
“What are you talking about, sis?”
“A real star….”
“What are you talking about!”
He knew where his siblings were staying. Belzer. It was about a week's drive from the island.
But he couldn't go see them because his father absolutely wouldn't allow it.
“They're in the capital now.”
“...? Who, who? Vania? Alex?”
“I don’t know if there’s a youngest one. I only saw Vania.”
“Hey, where! Where is she?”
Brigitte hesitated even after bringing up the subject.
Is this correct...
A few days ago, Brigitte happened to run into Ryan in the capital and was threatened by him.
She was surprised by Ryan's words that he would not tolerate it and would blow her up if she approached him, so she backed off for a while...
That handsome man, who seemed to be Ryan's brother-in-law or something, kept catching her eye, and she ended up going through the capital.
She even found out where Ryan and his group were staying, but she thought it wasn't right, so she just left it.
The eyes and ears of the escorts she carries around are all open, so what would happen if it were discovered that she had come into contact with an incompetent person who had been excommunicated just because of a man?
"You have to go secretly. If the guards report it, it'll be a huge problem, so don't take them with you. Just take them halfway and then let them go... Oh, this is driving me crazy. Is this really right?"
Brigitte kept sighing as she scribbled the address on a note.
"Don't get hurt or cause trouble for no reason. If you get caught by Father, you must never mention my name, right?"
“Oh, Sister, of course! Thank you. Really! Thank you so much!”
Richard, who had quickly regained his composure, hugged Brigitte tightly.
“Haa. You, if you come back after seeing that face, will you really come to your senses now?”
Ugh.
Richard swallowed a sigh as he recalled his conversation with Brigitte.
He decided to go quietly without anyone knowing, but he ended up using his powers on a normal person in the middle of the capital.
If this fact somehow reached his father's ears and he was caught, it would have been a big problem.
Of course, he'll never tell anyone that he went to see Vania, and he's prepared to be scolded for a few days by himself...
“Do you want to just go home right now, Christa?”
...He's worried about Christa, who came out with him.
Brigitte probably didn't know that Christa had followed him.
Originally, Richard was planning to go alone, but he thought of Christa, who was closest to Vania, and secretly suggested that she accompany him.
“What do you mean! I’m going to see Bunny too!”
“What are you going to do if your father scolds you too?”
"Don't get in trouble, yes? We're not doing anything bad, so it's not that scary, right? Brother, wow."
The rickety carriage, with its uncomfortable ride, rolled along. Christa whispered quietly in Richard's ear.
"You're in danger without any escorts. If something happens, I have to protect you."
"...Haha."
Richard smiled awkwardly.
In fact, his cute little thirteen-year-old sister, Christa, is a very scary superpowered person.

“Still... don’t kill anyone.”
“Hehe. Yeah!”
The siblings were extremely excited, excited to be reunited with their beloved sisger.
That moment.
Ryan and Revan were running back to their lodgings, eyebrows fluttering.
He couldn't forget the bitter expression on that kid's face as he said, "That's cool, I'm jealous."
