3. Dragon’s Eye, Human Mind (31)

Lupine Rynella hated Ian Percus.

First of all, Ian had been a fan of lupins as a low-ranking aristocrat. That alone was enough reason for Lupine to hate Ian.

Of course, Lupine provided the occasion.

It was because he never dreamed that there would be a human being who would pay so much attention to a daughter-in-law, no matter how much she was from the Yurdina family.

No, strictly speaking, things were a little different.

Even if he was paying attention, it would be more appropriate to say that he did not dare to challenge him.

Many high-ranking nobles as well as low-ranking nobles were involved in the bullying of Seria.

Right now, Lupine is not even close to the 5 most prestigious families in the empire, but isn’t he a member of Count Rainella, a noble family in magic?

Not to mention commoners, it was difficult for lower nobles to meddle in the events of higher nobles. It was not impossible in principle, but it was because they had no choice but to fear friction between families.

So far, Lupine has enjoyed that position well.

No matter who was harassed, retaliation was rare. Since his older sister was the famous ‘Elsie Rainella’, even high-ranking nobles of the same level were reluctant to touch Lupin.

So I thought it was easy.

Lupine felt like he was in a dream until he was hit in the nose by Ian’s fist and floated up in the air.

I can’t do this.

However, the reality facing him was severe, and Lupine gave up fighting Ian. I just thought of the humiliation of that day over and over again.

Ian was a true madman.

No one bothered to touch a bomb that didn’t know when to explode. At least, it was if the benefits didn’t follow the risk.

From Lupin’s point of view, Ian was nothing good to be entangled with. Moreover, there was no way to control the violence, so it was better to ignore it.

It was his older sister, Elsie Rainella, who stepped in then.

Always strong and confident, he was a person who terrified the brothers and sisters of the Rynella family with his venom. Lupine thought she could defeat Ian.

However, Elsie was defeated horribly by him, and the result was even more difficult to see with her eyes open.

The Elsie he had seen not too long ago was Ian’s loyal pet dog.

Elsie, who was so confident, was nowhere to be seen.

Lupine almost fainted at the sight of him fawning over the man, calling him ‘Master’. It’s like getting mad at the little brother you cared for in order to relieve the anger of the ‘master’.

Lupine felt his heart break.

What made Lupine even more painful was that Elsie’s feelings toward the man weren’t just submissive.

A dreamy, sweet look that sneaks up on you.

Lupine had seen it many times before.

It was a look that only a woman in love could have.

However, Ian’s attitude towards his sister, who was so cute and lovable, was very cold.

No, on the contrary, he was impatient because he couldn’t push Elsie away with an expression of embarrassment.

Lupin’s eyes bulged out as he watched the scene, and he could hear the thick popping of thread veins.

It was then that Lupine decided to take revenge.

The older sister he respected was not a woman so pitiful as to cling to that man. If Ian clung, I clung to it, I shouldn’t have continued such a miserable relationship.

I hadn’t been in a lot of relationships, but Lupin had heard of it and knew it.

In the end, dating was no more than an extension of politics.

Once the superiority and inferiority relationship of power was established, it was bound to have a continuous influence not only during dating but also after marriage.

So it didn’t work.

Even after Elsie and Ian got married, Lupin refused to live a life where he had to keep an eye on them.

It was the reason Lupine was giving Elsie a long speech right now.

“… … So sister, you said you shouldn’t go in from the beginning? If so, the man will only think of it as a caught fish and become indifferent.”

Even after listening to Lupin’s explanations at the teahouse on Jungang-daero, Elsie didn’t come back with a proper answer.

Rather, she was just looking around, blushing slightly and clearing her throat.

The lovely-looking girl averted her gaze for a moment, then asked cautiously.

“Ah, no matter how, it’s already until marriage… … .”

“No, you have to.”

With a bang, Lupine’s palm hit the table. In those pupils, bright blue spirits overflowed.

It was her first time seeing her younger brother like that, so Elsie looked at Lupin with a slightly surprised expression.

The expression on his face was cold as he licked his lips.

“Do you remember what kind of rumors spread about your sister after you were beaten by that bastard last time?! The family is looking for a fiancé before it’s too late! Why does my sister have to suffer like this… … ?”

Every word of Lupin’s voice, which was trembling and spitting out, was soaked in original poison. It was because the memory of that day was so painful.

It was also the day Elsie got the dishonorable nickname of ‘Piss Mannequin’.

At first, it was Elsie who went wild even when she heard the word ‘pee’. However, the reaction she showed now was bland.

She sucked on her drink through a straw and said in a tone of asking something obvious.

“That’s right, it’s a price to pay for daring to confront the master without even knowing the subject. Now that I think about it, the owner is also very merciful… … .”

With a bang, Lupine’s palm hit the table again.

Elsie, who thought of Ian with a hazy expression for a moment, glanced at Lupin with a slightly annoyed look.

However, Lupine was already excited to the point of excitement.

His mouth soon began to vomit.

“Your sister’s life is ruined because of that bastard! How can I be compensated for that? There is only one! My sister also takes the child’s life… How is it, isn’t that logical?!”

“… … uh, yes okay.”

Inside, Elsie thought something was strange, but she didn’t point it out on purpose.

In the first place, it seemed that Lupine was not in a state to listen to. And again, in my heart, I was proud of Lupin who was trying to make his point louder.

As much as he respected his older sister, Lupine was always downhearted in front of Elsie.

Elsie felt like it was an aftereffect of her weak days, so her heart always hurt. However, what Lupine was showing now was not only motivated, but also energetic.

Most of all, I didn’t particularly hate what Lupin was saying.

Elsie pressed her lips together as if leaning on a straw, and began to let her imagination run wild.

It’s a married life with the ‘master’.

In the morning, I wanted to wake up earlier than my husband. It was only then that the light makeup could be finished.

I had no intention of wanting to look ugly just because I was married.

When you’re ready, you should wake Ian up with a kiss on the cheek. If she somehow burrowed under the covers and whined, the man would smile bitterly and hold Elsie in his arms.

How happy I would be if I could be in that strong and warm arms.

And that wasn’t all.

‘Master’ would give Elsie any number of rewards she so longed for.

Not only will you stroke my hair, but you will also give birth to a child.

It was not known how many children they would have. However, Ian wanted to give birth to as much as he wanted.

And I will raise every single one of them with love.

Elsie had bad memories of her childhood. I don’t know if it’s because of that reactionary psychology, but Elsie has always thought that if she had a child, she should give her lots of love.

Fortunately, the Percus family was a low-class aristocratic family. I heard that he would not be picky about raising children like a high-ranking aristocrat.

As for the Rainella family, it was enough to throw it to any of the brothers and sisters. It wasn’t bad to spend a quiet life in the Percus Territory.

If only Ian was next to him, that is.

“Nuna, you need to change your strategy! The more you bow down, the more attractive it becomes. … .”

“… … I want to.”

Lupine seemed to be talking about something even while he was delusional, but it didn’t reach Elsie’s ears at all.

Her expression had long since unraveled. As if imagining something, those eyes were already staring into the distance.

Occasionally hee hee, letting out a hazy sound, Elsie confirmed again.

“Let’s do it, get married.”

Lupin, who had stiffened his body for a moment at Elsie’s sudden reply, finally recalled a sinister smile.

It was finally the beginning of revenge.

The moment Ian marries his sister, he will see hell.

If he gave birth to a nephew, Lupin was going to cherish every one of them. And when the time comes for your nieces and nephews to open their mouths, you confess the truth to them.

‘Once upon a time, your father beat your uncle badly… At that time, he hit me so hard that his nose was broken.’

Then the nephews would look at Ian with shocked expressions. Just imagining the expression Ian would make at that time, Lupin couldn’t stand it because he was looking forward to it.

Of course, since the formation of trust towards guardians in infancy was important, this plan needed a more precise review.

Like that, the Rainella siblings had different dreams, but they smiled together.

Elsie was still floundering in blissful delusions, and Lupin was imagining in his mind only the moment when his brutal revenge would succeed.

It was literally a different dream.
