The Precious Sister of The Villainous Grand Duke

‘Why is she looking at me like that?’

Charlotte couldn’t understand Anissa, who was glaring at her and Vassago.

“I came to help the Grand Duke of Lagrange, Anissa.”

It was clear that there was a misunderstanding. She sincerely wanted to help Dietrich, who was in crisis, and if she knew her heart, Anissa wouldn’t have been like that.

‘But those eyes…..’

Anissa looked at Charlotte as if she were looking at a villain who was determined to harm Dietrich.

‘Why?’

Charlotte bit her lip at the feeling of false accusation. Vassago, who had noticed her heart, sighed sadly and patted her shoulder. 

“Miss Anissa must have misunderstood your heart, Saintess.” 

“I think so, too. But why?” 

“There are people like that in this world. Not everyone sees the good side of others as you do, Saintess.” 

“Does that mean that Miss sees my bad side and is wary of me?”

Charlotte’s eyes widened at Vassago’s words and asked. 

“But I’m not a person who has a bad side.” 

She seemed more shocked by the remark than by Anissa's wary attitude.

Vassago twisted his lips and backpedaled, thinking he had made a slip of tongue. 

“Of course not. That’s why she’s just imagining what’s not there.”

“Yes? But why?”

“It’s because Anissa is anxious about losing the Grand Duke to you, Saintess.”

“Ahhh.” 

Charlotte then nodded her head in relief at Vassago’s words.

‘That’s right. As expected, I’m not a bad person.’ 

Although she understood Anissa’s heart to hog Dietrich, he was originally destined to be Charlotte’s fiance. 

‘In the first place, Anissa was the one who snatched the Grand Duke and not me.’

It was also Anissa’s fault that Dietrich was now in danger. 

Had it not been for Anissa who had upset her, she would have been happy to lend her the power to drive the shadow that corrodes Dietrich.

‘Huh? But when did I refuse to help the Grand Duke of Lagrange?’

Charlotte bit her lip in anguish as the memories that had been submerged under the water slowly surfaced.

Vassago’s face stiffened as if worried about her.

“Saintess, are you all right?”

“I keep having strange thoughts. As if there was a time that I hadn’t helped Dietrich.” 

“Pardon? That’s not possible. How could a good person like you not help the Grand Duke?” 

Charlotte quickly nodded her head at Vassago’s words. The priest, who had introduced himself as Vasha, complimented her like someone who was blindly obedient. 

Charlotte was relieved at those words that sounded like a whisper from the devil.

“They are the bad ones, Saintess.”

“Thank you for saying that, Vasha.” 

If she was good, then those who were wary of her were evil. Otherwise, there would be no reason for them to hate her.

‘The Grand Duke of Lagrange is an exception….He was the task that Hella entrusted to me after all.’ 

“Vasha, what should we do with that miss?”

“For now, I think we need to worry about what that Miss plans to do to us.” 

Vassago pressed on his temple remembering Anissa who had split the island in two with her ability.

‘Though I had expected that she would find her ability and memory again.’ 

Eredia's ability was not fundamentally an offensive force.

Nevertheless, the fact that she exerted such power meant that the shadows of the demons had faded that much.

‘But Charlotte’s powers are still the same.’

Vassago swept his chin and looked back at Charlotte who had confronted Anissa. 

It was true that he swapped the babies who would be the savior of the North, but it was impossible to change the ability the baby was born with. 

‘Maybe she didn’t have divine powers in the first place.’ 

Vassagot watched Charlotte, who was revered as the saint of Vallandia, with narrowed eyes. 

‘Come to think of it, even though all the demons have returned to the demon realm, Hella has not appeared.’

He wanted to question Charlotte. 

But Charlotte raised her voice first before he could call her.

“Anissa!” 

"............."

“There is no need for you to be wary of me. Please believe me!”

Whether it was because Charlotte called her or not, Anissa, who had devoted all her strength to keep the cave where Dietrich was sleeping away from them, finally turned to look back at them. 

“You ask me to believe you?”

“Yes. Why don’t you believe me, Anissa?” 

Charlotte blamed Anissa with a face that was filled with injustice. Anissa let out a dry laugh as if she was being ridiculous.

“How can I believe you, Charlotte?”

“But I am Charlotte of Vallandia. Even people who don't know my face know my goodness.”

Anissa morosely looked at Charlotte’s innocent gaze and raised her arm. A pure white light ignited in her hand and began to form a small sphere.

“I’m so sick and tired of hearing about good and evil, really.” 

“Wha-what did you say? But I’m a priest who serves Hera and a saintess who was born with divine power!” 

Charlotte blinked slowly as if inviting her to look into her blue eyes.

As Anissa didn’t want to listen to her anymore, she poured her aura at Charlotte and Vassago who were slowly approaching her. 

“Are all saints nice? Besides, I don’t really know if you’re really a good person, Charl.”

“How could you say such harsh words!” 

Charlotte raised her voice with a sad face like she had been insulted by her.

She, who had been avoiding Anissa’s aura, belatedly refined her power.

“Even now, you’re trying to take Dietrich away by force from me, Charl.” 

Anissa, who did not find it difficult to dodge Charlotte's attack, said with a sigh and tilted her head at an angle.

“I had always thought that I had stolen Dietrich from you. That’s why I felt sorry.”

“You’re right. Dietrich is the evil I have to save–!”

“No. That’s not true. We were wrong.”

Anissa shook her head fiercely at Charlotte’s cry and bit her lips. 

“I was arrogant.” 

"..........."

“Dietrich wasn’t ‘something’ we had to save. He has his own will, his own heart, and his own right to choose me.” 

I was an idiot who didn’t even realize that, but in spite of that, he said he liked me. 

“So, I will no longer feel sorry for you.” 

Anissa added quietly, growing the size of the aura that was pouring at Charlotte. 

“Why…….? No, that’s not possible.”

Charlotte, unable to respond immediately to Anissa's words, began to run away with a pale face.

The momentum seemed like she was about to attack, but she quickly passed Anissa.

Anissa, realizing that she was targeting Dietrich and not herself, pursued Charlotte, but Vassago took advantage of her distraction and stepped forward.

“Get out of the way, Vassago.”

The demon was momentarily speechless as the pink-haired girl, who had always smiled brightly, growled fiercely.

He had thought that humans did not change so easily, but it seemed like they change like that when they had something to protect.

He stammered and tried to conceal his bewildered expression. 

“Think about it well, Anissa.”

“About what?”

“There’s a reason why I want to destroy Lagrange.” 

Vassago had the right to take his revenge on the humans of Lagrange who had inherited Asmodeus’ blood. 

Moreover, it seemed completely unfair for the humans to get involved in the fight between demons, but the people in the North took advantage of the demon’s powers and obtained many benefits. 

Without the demons in the first place, Lagrange would not have been able to maintain the power of the Grand Duchy.

“If you belatedly want to play the part of the savior of the North, shouldn’t you think about what justice is?”

Charlotte would have been swayed by these words. Because she wanted to be seen as someone fair. 

“What…”

‘As expected, she got confused.’

Vassago laughed triumphantly as if he had hit the right mark on her. 

The demon thought that if Anissa, who was never regarded as Dietrich’s destiny, wanted to take Charlotte’s place, she at least would like to have a justification. 

Humans even liked to have justification for war.

“Nonsense is that?” 

“What did you say?” 

However, Anissa only distorted her face as if she had heard a dog bark somewhere.

“You mean it’s just for you to covet Dietrich’s soul?”

“That’s right! I’m asking for a fair price for a deal.”

Anissa scoffed, throwing a lump of aura at Vassago’s face.

‘But what do you want me to do about it?’

Even without Eredia’s ability, it seemed that Vassago could clearly read what Anissa was thinking so his face flushed. 

“Go find justification from Charlotte, Vassago.” 

"............"

“I don't care if everyone in the world condemns me for being evil.”

Because now, I didn’t care whether we were considered villains or not. 

Anissa could finally understand Dietrich now. It didn’t matter if we were considered villains.

To us, just having each other was enough.
