The Cute Master Was Actually the Black Demon King

65 – Vengeance is sure to be empty, but

“… ….”

“… ….”

After that, a moment of silence.

White was just calm, and Orca was blushing weakly, perhaps feeling shame for shedding tears.

“…… Won’t you go back? Why, if I try to go, you want to block me again?”

“Yes.”

“…… Under.”

In response to White’s calmly nodding her head, Orca twisted her mouth.

“Was it originally so remote? You’re doing something out of place all of a sudden, White.”

“… ….”

Despite Orca’s thorny words, White remained calm.

With her back leaning against a tree on one side of her, White looked down at the orca.

‘What should I do with this tomboy princess?’

Narrowing the corners of her eyes, White rolled her stretched brain.

It doesn’t matter if you subdue her and force her to return to her island.

Even if she resisted, she was confident that she would be subdued in any form.

…… However, if there is one problem.

‘I don’t really like it.’

With that thought out of place, White brushed her bangs roughly.

The blue eyes flashed clearly once.

“…… Orca.”

In the end, her troubles were not over, but White called her in a low voice.

Rolling her still slightly wet eyes, Orca looked up at White.

As if he was asking if he had something to say, with his eyes like a vigilant cat.

“… ….”

And calmly looking down at that orca.

‘…… I can’t eat it.’

White clicked her tongue briefly at her.

“Your brother, Louis Vampir.”

“…… !”

And right after that, at the name White brought up, Orca’s eyes narrowed in an instant.

Raising her alertness, she took a step behind her, with her arms wrapped around her body.

“…… What are you doing?”

Unsurprisingly, White was simply dumbfounded by such a strange reaction.

Well, it’s a pity that no one is watching.

If another third party saw this scene, they might know that some kind of evil wizard was trying to rape a delicate girl.

“…… Brother, why?”

It was then that Orca opened her mouth.

Without answering White’s question, she only cared about ‘Louis Vampir’.

Seeing her staring attitude, White let out a shallow sigh and continued her words.

“Something, anytime is good, so think about it. Isn’t there a point where Louis Vampir suddenly changed her attitude in an instant?”

“…… What?”

And at White’s question, Orca slightly distorted her expression.

She frowned at her as if she didn’t know what she was talking about or why she was bringing up such a story.

But despite such an outspoken response, White remained calm.

As if he wouldn’t open her mouth until he heard her answer, White looked straight at the orca.

“… ….”

At that point, did she think there was nothing she could do about it?

Orca frowned at her and gently closed her eyes as if deep in thought.

“…… It was at this point that her brother changed her attitude.”

“Yes, and quite suddenly.”

“Why are you asking that…… ?”

Orca asked, and White shut her mouth once more.

Do I have to explain even this? White frowned at her while embracing that thought.

She must have decided that it was necessary, and White opened her mouth again, gritting her teeth.

“…… If at some point, her personality changed, as if she became a ‘different person’.”

After interrupting her once, White narrowed her eyes.

The blue eyes began to shimmer vaguely.

“Because that would be the point at which the demon king will take your brother’s body.”

“…… What?”

The words White said calmly, but the contents were not light at all.

Orca wiggled her pupils and gently opened her mouth.

“…… What are you talking about. That is?”

Her voice trembled, but she went on speaking without paying attention to that.

“Taking the body? Demon King, your brother’s body?”

“Yes.”

Responding calmly, White added her explanation.

“This is also the method used by the demon king who hid in the Marquis of Lyikanter. Killing the main person in the family, then putting on the skin.”

“…… !”

At that bloody word, Orca made her body tremble.

At some point, her two pupils were constantly fluctuating.

“…… Oh, fast.”

Her voice was hoarse, but she tried to somehow carry on, so Orca bit her lip.

“Attitude changed in an instant… ….”

Things from the past flashed through her mind one after another.

Memories of ‘Louis Vampir’ slowly began to emerge in her mind.

*****

“Hello Orca. Good morning.”

…… He was a sweet boy.

Despite the age of 10, he always approached her little sister with a smile on her face.

And his younger sister, herself, didn’t hate him either.

On the contrary, it can be said that he followed it considerably.

The age difference was only two years, but the siblings were very close.

…… At some point, until the relationship goes awry.

“Don’t talk to me, Orca Vampir.”

“…… Brother?”

“Don’t call me by that title, just treat me as someone who doesn’t exist. I’ll get my attention off you too.”

“Brother. Now, wait a minute. What are you talking about?”

Bewildered, he hurriedly tried to grab him, but he didn’t budge.

That’s it, the conversation ends.

Grabbing the hem of his clothes and trying to continue the conversation somehow, he roughly pushed himself away from him.

…… I didn’t know at first.

Did I do something wrong, or did something big happen without me knowing?

What triggered it, did his own brother change his personality wildly like that?

…… I thought it was just adolescence.

There are cases where a child’s personality changes drastically as they grow up, and in Louis’ case, it was too extreme, but there was nothing he could do about it.

‘It’s just like that, oppa is trying to get away from me.’

…… Thinking that way, I tried my best to get away from him.

Afterwards, by the time he was recognized for his talent and designated as the heir to the Marquis of Vampir, he was halfway treating himself as someone who didn’t exist.

‘…… Ah.’

Nevertheless, he himself.

…… I am.

My older brother, Louis Vampir.

I respect you deeply, and if I get a chance, I want to restore our relationship to its original state.

…… But.

How did this happen?

“…… Under.”

One time, he let out a laugh filled with despondent emotions.

That’s how I slowly started to wake up from my thoughts.

*****

“… ….”

Tuk, tuduk.

She didn’t say anything, but from the moment she opened her eyes again, White let out a shallow sigh at the sight of Orca starting to shed tears.

“…… Did you remember something?”

“… ….”

Without uttering her voice, Orca just nodded heavily.

Tears were pouring down her knees.

“…… If there was a point in time where Louis Vampir changed, it would be the moment when the demon king hid in the Marquis family.”

“… ….”

Just looking down at the silent orca, White calmly continued her words.

“Your brother was already dead at that point. ‘Louis Vampir’, whom you thought was your brother, was just a disgusting monster covered in your brother’s skin.”

“… ….”

“…… Calm down, Orca. How long will she be like that?”

From noble mtl dot com

Towards her orca, which was leaning back against her tree with her knees together, White held out her hand again.

It was a hand with a meaning to return, but Orca didn’t catch him this time either.

She bit her lip hard, letting her stretched tears flow from the corners of her reddened eyes.

It took several minutes before she opened her mouth.

“…… I just thought his personality had changed.”

“… ….”

“My father and mother said that. I want you to understand that some children’s personalities change drastically as they grow up…….”

…… Isn’t it funny, he added.

She put a twisted smile on her lips.

“That wasn’t it. If you’re right, I’ve been thinking of the demon king who killed my brother as my brother.”

Funny.

…… Pitifully.

“How could this be?”

She stared at her empty eyes with empty eyes.

As she struggled to lift her out of place arm, she dimly lit her eyes.

“I must have been a stupid guy who had no one else in the world.”

Orca let out a self-deprecating laugh.

The tears that had been falling since earlier were still flowing down with no sign of stopping.

“… ….”

…… And.

Since White had been just staring down at her all along.

Orca tilted her head slightly and glanced at White.

“…… White. When a woman is crying, she should be able to comfort her. If you just stand there and stare like that, you will be hated?”

“Do you want to be comforted?”

“… ….”

When she gave an immediate reply to her joking tone, orca frowned at her, perhaps slightly embarrassed.

However, she relaxed her expression as if it was okay, and she let out a smirk.

“No, I don’t need it. It only makes me more miserable.”

Muttering that, she slowly rose from her seat.

Extremely hard, as if his body had no strength.

“…… What should I do now?”

Looking up at the sky where the sun is setting and the moon is about to rise.

Orca bit her lip lightly and continued her speech alone.

“I thought meeting her brother would solve everything. I didn’t even think about the problem of being a demon king, I just wanted to head for the marquess like that.”

…… By the way, it was.

“I must have been wrong. Because I heard you I’m just starting to feel pathetic. Ha ha ha ha.”

She brushed away her empty, hollow laugh, and she put a twisted smile on her lips.

“… ….”

Once upon a time, a dark silence fell in the chilly forest.

Orca seemed to have done what she had to say, and with that, she shut her mouth tightly and shed tears.

White just silently looked down at her.

Within a moment, he only spat out a single word.

“…… Revenge is empty.”

“…… What?”

“A lot of people have said it that way, and it’s not like they don’t have some sympathy. But.”

“Wait, what are you saying—”

“In the end, revenge is a matter that should not be given up even if it is empty. Orca.”

Placing her forehead on her, Orca’s voice, which tried to stop her words, was sternly cut off, and White flashed fiercely into the wall.

There was an eerie smile on his lips that he couldn’t hide.

“…… Orca.”

“What, what.”

Perhaps frightened by White’s appearance, Orca shuddered once.

Nevertheless, I tried my best to direct my gaze to White.

White reached out her hand to her.

“I will help you.”

…… A hand that had a completely different meaning from the one that had been extended twice so far, meaning to go back.

“Maybe I just collapse. When everything is over, emptiness may fill the whole body. But.”

Nevertheless.

In addition, White made eye contact with Orca’s with a serious look.

Orca, too, just stared at White as if possessed by something about her.

“…… Revenge for your real brother who died at a young age, isn’t that a matter you have to deal with with your own hands.”

“… ….”

“I will help you. I also have business with him.”

“…… You.”

With her tears completely stopped, Orca let out her muffled voice.

Towards her, White showed her gentle smile for the first time.

“It means that I will walk the path of revenge with you. I believe you’re not stupid enough to refuse the help of a wizard like me, Orca.”

“… ….”

Slowly, but clearly.

A blur began to ripple in those red eyes of the orca.
