Ellie fell into the small garden of the castle in a state of embarrassment, with a trace of redness in her eyes. She grabbed her long skirt with both hands and rushed home quickly.
The curtains in the master bedroom on the third floor and the two rooms on the fifth floor were shaking slightly.
Although there must be other people looking at her, they don't dare to be so blatant. They will only look through the gaps and not open the curtains.
Linde walked out of his room lightly and walked to the small living room on the fifth floor. He took out a bottle of liquor from the wine cabinet and poured it into a cup. He also put a bunch of ice cubes in the ice maker and sat happily on the sofa.
Waiting to drink.
"You just, so... don't like Ellie?" Dieter also walked in, picked up the wine bottle, took a look at it, and frowned, "You still drink fruit bar! You really... don't know how to drink and you dare to take it.
My wine to drink.”
"I added a lot of ice." Linde happily told his eldest brother, "It doesn't matter, you will only drink a little bit."
Then he glanced at Dieter and curled his lips: "Dieter, do you also think that between me and Ellie, I am the one who has gained the most?"
"Yes." Dieter said very seriously, "Ellie was suddenly kissed by Lucky after she was 10 years old. At that time, you were the focus of the family.
She has known since she was a child that she has to do what she wants.
And for you, it goes without saying that someone will deliver it to you.
Mom...at that time, I could only deal with your affairs, so you got more than Ellie.
There are so many benefits that will come later...she won them back by herself.
I think you are too old to understand.
As her abilities grew stronger, she received more and more investment from her family.
And the reason why you seem to get less when you grow up is because you are indeed not talented enough."
"Ah... what a cruel brother." Linde muttered, then spread his hands and said, "But, brother, when I become sensible, I will already see this Ellie.
You haven't been in contact with her for a long time, so you probably don't have that feeling.
Many of the things I wanted I couldn't get...it was just a pity at first.
However, Ellie, as long as she wants it, there will always be some surprises delivered to her.
Of course, for the Ster family, this was an opportunity that was completely unavailable, but now it can be obtained by paying a small price... Although it can only be owned by Ellie, the family has also benefited after all.
No one cares about how she did it.
Only silly children would pray at night, praying that one day, fate would favor him, and he would be satisfied with just one chance.
It's a pity... When I woke up the next day, I only saw the smile of Ellie's wish coming true."
He glanced at Dieter, who was frowning at him: "I know, you all think that I think so much because my mental power is affected by spider venom.
Maybe?
But my mind did collapse in this entanglement day after day.
I don't know if I should be glad that this incident broke out so early... At least at that time, I just wanted to get more benefits from my family, not your heir position.
Maybe, in a few years, I will feel like the Stel family only belongs to me...it's best to get out of here and don't show up in front of me again, like the lucky red rose."
Dieter shook his head helplessly: "Logically speaking, shouldn't you hate me the most?
Ellie, there’s nothing wrong with the little girl having better luck, right?”
"Ha~" Linde laughed disdainfully, "Have you seen her dedication to the Great Sage Belveland?"
"Huh?" Dieter asked in confusion, "It's your first love~ Be silly..."
"Didn't you realize that she was trying to use her luck to influence the great sage?" Linde sneered, "I don't believe it."
"So, do you think Ellie is subconsciously using her luck to snatch your living space?" Dieter suddenly realized... No wonder their mother would say that Linde actually cares about her spending too much dowry for Ellie!
"Didn't she?" Linde sneered, "From the day that mage actually taught her to become a mage, she started to use her talents.
Although she seemed to know nothing...but she did everything!
If she continues like this, until you inherit the title, dear brother..."
Linde showed a malicious smile: "Look, you still have a title and ancestral property that you can inherit, what about me?
Maybe I think too much, but...which second son doesn't care as much as I do?"
"But Ellie is very kind to you..." Dieter sighed.
"Yours is good, I remember." Linde suddenly lay half-lying on the sofa, covering his face with one hand, "Hers, I can never think that it is good... It's like charity, her leftover soup,
Just give me a bite."
Dieter shook his head: "You are still affected.
After all, it was something she got by herself. Without her, you wouldn't even have this sip of soup."
"I know, I just..." Linde swallowed his reluctance silently.
Their eldest brother has always been broad-minded, so he can see the good in others.
He has been narrow-minded since he was a child, and he always thinks about himself.
"Actually..." Linde sighed softly, "As long as she fails once, it will be fine."
His voice was almost silent: "That way, at least it won't make me feel like I'm the only one in the house...who is worthless."
Dieter had no way of understanding his little brother's thoughts... He was an orthodox knight. He had known since he was a child that if he wanted what he wanted, he would ride a horse and hold a weapon to fight for it.
So he just picked up the glass of wine that was mostly filled with ice water, grabbed his brother's neck with one big hand, and drank it directly for him while he screamed "What are you doing?"
"Have a good sleep." Dieter comforted his brother who was starry-eyed, "Since you said so, then don't be so cautious when you get up.
I still have to go on duty!
What a... strange kid."
Leaving Linde paralyzed in the mud, Dieter turned around and saw the face of the housekeeper: "Ah! Linde is fine."
"Master Dieter." The housekeeper was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Master Linde poured the wine, probably just to show off.
He even sleeps with fruit wine all day long.
This cup will probably require him to take three days off from his teacher!"
Dieter clapped his hands: "That's not good~ lest he cause trouble in front of Ellie.
So, can our family regain peace?"
"Then it depends on whether Miss Ellie chooses to give up after crying, or whether she becomes more courageous as she becomes more frustrated."
"What?" Dieter yelled in disbelief, "Didn't the other party clearly reject it? And he was obviously a little bored, without even saying a word...
Speaking of which, this is normal, he is a great sage!
Is it true that Ellie can’t even see her own identity clearly?
Why should such a strong person feel her pain?"
"Young Master Linde is right about what he said." The housekeeper's expression showed a hint of silence, "Miss Ellie, this is probably the first time in her life that she has encountered such a huge failure."
She looked at Dieter's puzzled expression and couldn't help but laugh: "Master Dieter is thinking that if the family encounters so many troubles, isn't there nothing we can do about it?
Not so.
Miss Ellie must really feel that sense of coercion. It's completely useless if she doesn't want it from the bottom of her heart.
Why would the count try his best to make Ellie a person who cannot live without the family... Couldn't Master Dieter have thought of it?"
Dieter frowned: "No, my father, even if he has some expectations for Ellie, he will not place his hopes on illusory luck. Who are you...?"
"Huh?" the housekeeper made a confused voice.
However, Dieter had already drawn the long sword from his waist and attacked her directly: "You probably don't understand what family and relatives are.
Aunt Paris would never say such disgusting things to me!
Where is she? What did you do to her?"
"ah……"
The housekeeper suddenly laughed: "It's so interesting, no wonder that child looks at your family differently... Ha~
Sure enough, it is in line with his consistent vision!"
‘Bang!’ The long sword in Dieter’s hand suddenly flew away.
Others were also whipped to the ground by the sudden appearance of the long whip.
'Haha~ you will die if you know too much~ Huh?' The woman with the appearance of a housekeeper laughed a few times, then she was suddenly startled: "Damn it, did you react so quickly? What's going on in this world...
?”
A pale light dimly lit up, and her body suddenly exploded, disappearing into the living room in an instant.
"Brother... Dieter!" Linde suddenly turned over and helped his brother up, "Ahhhhh! Dad! Mom! Come on~~~~~Help!"
'Bang bang bang!'
The glass windows on the third and fifth floors were shattered at the same time, and the earl came up from below with a long sword: "Linde? Come out..."
Dieter!”
"Bang!" The door to the living room at the top of the stairs was also knocked open, and Ted and Paris, followed by Countess Steer, rushed in.
There were also heavy running sounds downstairs, it should be the guards on duty rushing up.
However, Lind didn't care about this and just grabbed the hem of Earl Stehr's clothes: "Dieter... Dieter was injured by the woman pretending to be Aunt Paris!
He He……"
"It's okay, it's okay!" Earl Steer touched his youngest son's hair, "Three ribs are broken, and the leg is probably broken as well. He's still alive, he's still alive."
"Earl, let me set the young master's bones first, and then feed him holy water." Ted said with a gloomy face.
"How did she get in?" Countess Steer squeezed her dress tightly, "Everyone in the castle is..."
"Paris." Count Stell's eyes were blazing as he watched Ted cut off Dieter's clothes with a knife. Although his movements were as gentle as possible, Dieter still moaned in pain, "You go...I allow you."
By any means."
Linde suddenly raised his head: "She turned into light and disappeared! She didn't know I could drink!"
