Jeanne smiled brightly, not doubting Ian's words at all.

"Then when we go back later, let's ask father! He will definitely know what's going on!"

"...Aren't you afraid that father will scold us?"

"It doesn't matter! My brother will bear all the responsibilities anyway, right?"

"...You bastard."

Ian looked at his sister, feeling helpless for a moment.

191. Joan of Arc is becoming brother-controlled/Dragon Pendant/Family accident (4k)

[You and Jeanne returned to the mansion. 】

[Father is very angry about you sneaking out. 】

[He didn’t give you any chance to explain. 】

[He picked up the whip, preparing to teach you a lesson for being an older brother who indulged his younger sister. 】

Snapped--!

Snapped--!

Snapped--!

The whip hit Ian's body one after another, making a crisp and loud sound.

The boy who knew he was in the wrong didn't say a word. He just gritted his teeth and silently endured the beating from his father.

Even a moment ago, he had just used fire to burn a group of Burgundians to pieces.

but--

Although Ian could bear it, Joan couldn't.

She knew she was the real "culprit."

She thought her father would just give him a few simple words of education, but she didn't expect that he would directly take action.

Joan of Arc knelt in front of her father and begged.

"Don't fight again!"

"If this continues, my brother will be beaten to death!"

"..."

[As the most beloved daughter, Joan of Arc’s words are very effective for her father. 】

[The middle-aged man who was whipping you angrily a moment ago gradually calmed down because of his daughter’s words. 】

[He sat on the chair, gasping for air. 】

[And Jeanne took this opportunity to take you out of the room. 】

[Extremely sad, she began to treat your wounds. 】

Get out the herbs.

Apply.

Then spread evenly.

Joan of Arc carefully treated the bruised area for Ian.

Although she had paid considerable attention to her strength.

But the boy's teeth were still chattering in pain.

"I'm sorry..." Joan of Arc apologized with great guilt, "It would be better if I didn't say I wanted to go out."

"..."

Ian forced a wry smile.

"That--"

"Do you still want to go out to play in the future?"

"Never come out! Never come out again!"

Jeanne shook her head repeatedly.

"It's not worth it if my brother gets beaten once for one mistake!"

"That's it..." Ian gently touched his sister's head, "That's really good."

"It seems that this beating was not in vain."

"If I get more support in the future, Jeanne won't become a village girl, right?"

"Don't say such things!" Joan of Arc couldn't help but become a little stronger.

"It hurts!"

"Let you talk nonsense!"

Jeanne's words were unforgiving, but the strength of her hands quickly dropped a bit.

"That's right, brother."

"The fire-breathing thing..."

"Let's talk about it later. Father is so angry right now. He probably won't listen to anything we say."

"……Too."

When Joan of Arc said this, she looked at Ian with a little nostalgia in her eyes.

[Joan of Arc is not just talking casually. 】

[She does not pester you like before, asking you to take her out to catch fish. 】

[However, she is indeed not good at reading. She often dozes off on the table while reading. 】

[But she also seems to know that this will make you angry. 】

[So as a substitute for not studying, she began to follow the adults and believe in the popular sect in the village. 】

The popularity of sects is not an accident.

With a large area of ​​northern land under actual control by England, people in deep trouble would naturally rely on some illusory things.

Believe in something that does not actually exist, and then give yourself a hope of living.

This is a lie that everyone knows, but no one will take the initiative to expose it.

The country's survival has spread to everyone.

"Lord, if you hear this body's desire, please respond."

The little girl Joan of Arc knelt on the ground, clasped her hands together as if praying, and said these words quite seriously.

She opened her eyes, took Ian's hand next to her expectantly, and asked.

"how is it going?!"

“Do I look like those people who work immediately in the church now?”

Ian looked at his sister's appearance, thought for a while, and then asked:

"Jean, do you want to hear good things or bad things?"

"I want to hear it all!" Joan of Arc gave her answer without hesitation.

"But if you can, please brother, please say something nice first!"

"Good words..."

Ian looked at his sister.

"Well, at first glance, it does look impressive. I almost got fooled by you."

"Oh~"

Joan of Arc pouted slightly, obviously very satisfied with Ian's "praise".

"What's the bad word?"

"Bad words are—"

Ian rubbed Jeanne's head.

"You actually don't know what you are talking about, but you are just imitating what others say, right?"

"Eh?!"

Joan of Arc looked away sheepishly.

"Have you discovered all this?"

"I found out that it's not a big deal." Ian said softly, "If others find out that you just wrote it down and then recited it... that would be a big problem."

"No~"

Jeanne looked up at Ian, her eyes full of confidence.

"I will definitely understand what these words mean!"

"because--"

"They said a very powerful person will come to help us this way!"

"..."

Ian's expression was a little complicated.

He actually wanted to tell his sister that this was just a fantasy that placed people's hopes.

But on second thought, it seemed that there was no need for this.

After all, living with hope is also a good choice.

"Well, then just work hard."

"Good~"

Ian didn't know that there was actually another reason for Joan of Arc to do this.

That is, she heard that the "Lord" can achieve many things.

Even if—

Maybe there are some things that are not suitable for siblings.

[With your encouragement, Joan of Arc spent a little more thought on this aspect. 】

[She arrived at the church early every day, listened to the words of the people praying there, and tried to understand the original meaning of these words. 】

[Because she is still young, most people don’t take her seriously. 】

[But this does not affect her determination - because you have asked her to work hard in this regard. 】

[Every day she will share with you what she learned today,]

[And you will be very patient in giving replies and compliments. 】

[You gradually find that you begin to look forward to her daily report - it seems to become a kind of pleasure in hardship. 】

[So although your village is still in dire straits, your life with Joan of Arc has not become meaningless. 】

[A month has passed, and life in the village has been relatively peaceful—the deaths of the Burgundians seemed to have caused nothing. 】

[A few days later, your father came to talk to you. 】

"Cough...cough."

The father who was sitting in the chair coughed several times - he was old and naturally had various health problems.

"Pierre."

"Do you know why I came to see you today?"

"...I don't know." Ian answered truthfully.
