chapter 22
22. Tyrant of the North (1)
22. Tyrant of the North (1)
Justia Yuri.
The third daughter of the Grand Duke of the North.
She was held in my arms with scars all over her body.
She was severely wounded by her parents, the Grand Duke of the North.
‘Quickly… I need to get treatment.’
If you leave it outside in the cold like this, the wound will be more painful.
I picked up the girl in my arms and was about to take her to the city center.
However, the moment I was about to leave the Justia family’s mansion.
A man with jet-black hair and bleak red eyes appeared.
“Stop it, where are you going with it? It should be left outside.”
“… Grand Duke Justia.”
Yuri’s father.
Justia Ibasten.
He was spouting a feeble life force at me.
“I would have asked where you were going. The Marquis of Sinclair.”
“… The girl is injured, so we’re taking her to the doctor’s office for treatment.”
“As a member of the council… I don’t think that’s necessary. Give it up. It was a mistake and must be punished.”
Ivar Sten reached out his hand to snatch the glass from my bosom.
I couldn’t give it to him, so I turned around and refused to touch him.
Then, Ibasten asked with a puzzled face.
“Ha, I will take it away. Is it like this? Aren’t you afraid of me?”
To be honest, I’m afraid.
Ibasten is a strong enough character to be given the childish name of ‘The Black Devil of the Battlefield’.
However, I can’t give Yuri that his physical condition is close to the worst.
‘Even if I give Yuri anyway, Ibasten has no intention of healing Yuri.’
Even if your skin is cut or your bones are broken.
Ibasten will never cure glass.
No matter what.
In response to Yuri’s question, who burst into tears in the novel, Ibasten answered as follows.
‘Why aren’t you getting treatment? When you start using medicine for treatment, your body becomes dependent on it even when it hurts. You won’t be able to enhance your body’s natural healing powers. Let’s treat it with medicine. The fact that your body is weak doesn’t change. Number of families. You don’t fit in with our family.’
Yuri has broken bones and is full of scars all over her body.
You will not even receive proper treatment, you will lie in bed and suffer until you are cured.
Yuri becomes a villain due to family abuse.
Because I couldn’t let her be her villainess, I could never give her away.
“… I’m sorry, but this girl needs treatment.”
“Damian Youngsik heard that he was on a trip, so he responded in good faith. I never thought you would interfere in our household chores like this.”
“I just have to do the obvious.”
“It’s only natural… Yes, it might be natural for you. However, it is not natural for our family.”
At the same time, Ivasten stretched out her hand towards me.
I could be proud of myself for training hard, but his fists weren’t the area where I could react.
Like that, I was hit in the stomach by Ibasten’s fist and rolled through the white snow.
I couldn’t breathe properly.
“Keuhuk- Lee, can you come out like this… ? To the young child of the marquis family… ?”
“I warned you. You didn’t listen Isn’t it all your fault, Damian Youngsik? If you want to go back to your family and tell your parents, do it. I do not care.”
“Mi, the rumors that he is a mad tyrant must have been true… ?”
“Didn’t you know? That it’s not a rumor, it’s true. It is a fact known to all nobles.”
Ibasten looked at me with bloody red eyes, then smiled and left.
Holding the back of Yuri with one hand.
His back figure resembled that of a large bear.
‘Crazy genes… What was the writer thinking when he made the Grand Duke of the North like that… ?’
That also gave me a tyrannical personality.
That’s a body that shouldn’t be a tyrant.
‘Still, maybe because I’m a marquis, I managed to control my strength… ‘
It’s still hard to breathe.
I grabbed my sore stomach and stood up.
‘For Yuri to become a villain, annihilate her entire family, and not become a tyrant worse than Ibasten… ‘
As expected.
Is there any other way to free this rotten family?
‘During my stay here as a foodie… ‘
I have to rescue Yuri from this family.
Otherwise, as Yuri saw in her novels, she would become a villain.
‘If you’re lucky, you can even plan to run away… ‘
In order not to freeze your heart in this cold northern part, you should give them warmth.
Be as careful as possible, avoiding the eyes of the mad northern prince.
If you make a mistake, even with the status of a marquis, you could be killed by that tyrant.
That guy described in the novel was similar to a demon wearing a human mask.
***
Justia Yuri.
She opened her eyes after training as usual, feeling pain in her body.
However.
“Oh, what? Oh, why are you at home and not outside… ?”
Unusually.
A strange cloth was wrapped around the body.
And, the bruised body was covered with a slippery liquid.
Seeing her own figure, Yuri questioned her.
“What is this? It’s not clothes… ? What is this slippery liquid?”
Bandages and ointments.
Since Yuri was born, she has expressed doubts about the first things she sees.
‘What is this, and who did this to me? It even feels less painful.’
When she opened her eyes after training.
It hurts less than usual.
The bruises that used to be hot like fire are cold, and the broken bones don’t hurt because they move less.
“Who the hell… ?”
Yuri has nothing but doubts in her head.
After much thought, she remembered the face of the last man she saw.
He has snow-white hair and lake-blue eyes.
“I remembered. Damian.”
Did he do this to me?
Feel less pain?
Yuri brought her hand to her heart in a strange feeling.
“I feel strange… I feel like a lump… “
It feels like you have a cute doll’s fluffy cotton in your heart.
Yuri didn’t feel that bad.
She was rather good, she was closer to feeling.
It’s been so long since I can’t even remember the day I woke up with less pain.
Yuri felt a lingering feeling of calm for a moment, then she suddenly started moving her body.
“Oh, I should say thank you. He, where is he?”
If you get help, you should definitely say thank you.
Thinking so, Yuri hurriedly tried to get out of bed, dragging her sore body wrapped in bandages.
However, at that moment, she heard her voice from under the bed.
“Ummm… Are you awake?”
“Kyaa, kyaak-! Who, who-“
Damian, who had just woken up, got up from the floor.
Seeing his white hair, Yuri said in surprise.
“White hair… Oh, Damian!”
“Yes, I am Damien… “
“Ah, ah… But why on the floor… Oh no. This, once… !”
Nodding off-
“Ah, thank you… ! You helped me… ! I remember… !”
Yuri ignored his aching body and bowed his head to express his gratitude.
Damian was startled by that sight and put Yuri back on the bed.
“I will take your thanks. By the way, a little calm. Your body hurts. Lie down in bed and rest.”
“Even if it hurts, you shouldn’t rest… “
“… That’s the standard for monsters outside. Even if they are injured, they are healed in one day.”
“Yeah, that’s right. Unlike me, who was a failure… Our family is very strong… “
Yuri lowered his head in a somber tone and lacked confidence.
She still didn’t understand the situation, and she didn’t even know what kind of person the man in front of her was named Damian.
So, she asked to satisfy her curiosity.
“You said your name was Damian… ?”
“Yes, Damian. This is Sinclair Damian.”
“Sinclair Damien… Oh, I know. Sinclair.”
“Yes? Do you know me?”
“N, yes. His father made a lot of comparisons. Geniuses were born in other families, so what is trash like you? That’s why the Sinclair family remembers.”
“… “
Damian had nothing to say to Yuri’s words.
However, she stays still because she is talking to Yuri.
There was one thing she realized.
‘My personality is so different from the one I saw in the novel.’
The childhood of Yuri, seen in the novel, is authoritative and silent.
However, the Yuri Damian sees right in front of him is just an innocent and kind child.
‘Alternatively… ‘
How much the Justia family had toiled Yuri.
Does she just end up like that novel with Yuri, who maintains her kind personality even after being abused?
Damian knew from a simple description of how serious she was going to be.
However, when she remembered what she looked like today, I thought that might be the tip of her iceberg.
When her mood subsided for a while, Yuri recalled what she had done and was taken aback.
“Oh, ah! Did I say something too heavy… ? Ha ha ha… sorry. I’m not good at talking… “
Damian couldn’t say that, so he answered with a caring heart.
“No. It’s just that I don’t usually talk.”
“Ah, ah… You have a quiet personality… That, but What are all these?”
Flutter-
Yuri flapped her bandages curiously.
Damian, who saw that, said with a little regretful heart.
“The white cloth is a bandage. It is to wrap the injured part or fix it so that it does not move when the bone is broken.”
“So, what about this slippery liquid?”
“It’s an ointment. It works well when applied to the affected area. He gets well soon without soreness.”
“That’s right… this is the cure… I’ve only heard of it, but the first time I heard it, it felt strange, hehehe… “
Yuri smiled shyly and scratched her head.
“Thank you for treating me again… “
Black hair and red eyes.
Although she has the same appearance as Ivasten.
Unlike his tyrannical personality, Yuri was soft.
That’s why more.
Damian was sure that living in this family would be painful.
‘With this kind of personality, I can’t survive in the Justia family no matter what. I became a villain because I couldn’t stand the glass in the novel.’
So.
We need to get Yuri out of here.
The moment Damian made up his mind and was about to say out of his mouth that he had to run away.
Smart-
A maid’s voice came along with a knock on the door.
-Lady, if you are awake, please come to the restaurant right away. If you can’t come, there is no dinner tonight.
A calm message that he would not give food.
After the maid delivered her devastating words, she immediately left her seat.
Seeing that, Yuri laughed.
“Ahahahaha, even Damian Youngsik would be in trouble if he looked like this… ? Thank you for the treatment… But, a failure like me… I don’t think I should ask for help… “
Yuri unties all the bandages Damian had wrapped around him.
She got out of bed and headed out the door with a twisted smile.
And then, she gave Damian a sad smile.
“Don’t say that Yeongshik healed me too… No wonder, I’ll be like the other people who helped me… Therefore… “
Think of me as someone who doesn’t exist.
Yuri limped out of her room and headed for the restaurant.
Damian couldn’t help but be immersed in deep trouble at that faint back figure.
‘Crazy. No matter how you think about this, it’s not.’
Because Yuri’s life was much crueler than he thought.
No matter how you look at it, she was placed in an environment where she had no choice but to become a villainess.
‘I have to get it from here quickly.’
Damian thought so and walked towards the restaurant where everyone in her family would gather.
Unlike usual, his steps were serious and heavy.
