Chapter 6 - If You Touch Me You Have To Pay A Price

Knock knock.

"Hmm"

"Miss, it's Charlotte. I brought you a meal."

"Come in"

It was when Charlotte, a dedicated maid, entered the room with a tray.

Thud! Thud!

"Move!"

Vera came into the room angrily, pushing Charlotte.

"Ah"

Charlotte's expression became fierce at once after she almost spilled the meal after being pushed roughly, but it soon subsided.

Aria looked closely at Charlotte's expression. Their eyes met.

"...?"

At then, Vera shouted furiously.

"Go to the Duke right now and beg him to forgive the young Lord, Miss!"

Aria ignore Vera

Y-you"

Aria spoke to Charlotte "You said you brought me a meal, right?"

"Here you go, Miss."

"Hmm"

"Are you ignoring me right now!?"

Vera was angry, Aria is supposed to tremble without knowing what to do.

But aria didn't even blink.

'Did she eat something wrong? Otherwise, how could the wall get bigger in a day?'

Vera shouted once again out of pride.

"If the nanny speaks, you should answer!"

'Aria looked at the screaming nanny.'

"Nanny you're so noisy can you be quite just once? My ears Hurts So lower your voice"

"W-what Did you say?!"

"I said your so noisy so be quite"

"Y-you how dare you to said to this nanny"

'Really noisy....'

"hah...you've been saying weird things since before too, Nanny. What am I supposed to ask forgiveness" for?"

"Of course to take young Lord lorenzo out of probation."

"You are enjoying this luxury with the grace of the Duke. How can you let the young master, the heir to such a family, be misunderstood?"

Aria stared coldy to vera

'enjoying Luxary huh'

"I'm the one who was almost burned to death. Nanny"

Vera...I used to tried to get along with vera and think of her like my mother. I was a fool.'

The nanny was infinitely sweet to lorenzo and Lilian. She was so dedicated that she would give anything and everything to them.

I envied that.

For her, it wasn't to that extent, but it would have been enough if she had given at least a cup of honey tea when I was sick.

"Don't bother me! What's the big deal with the flu?"

"get out to my room it's brother punishment so I dont need to care about it"

"What did you said?!"

Vera come to aria and touch her hand and tried to drag aria and go to to the duke and begged

Quaang ·... !

As soon as Vera heard that sound vera instinctively evaded, a tremendous roar broke through the air and hit his ear.

It was dazzling to see the red blood drops scattered across the field of view.

A stiff blood spilled along the long scar on Vera's cheek.

Drip~ Drip~ Drip~

"Y-you W-What did you do to me"

"Well I just showed it myself because I don't think you can understand it in words."

"H-how...! can you have a power"

Aria looked to vera and smile

Tremble tremble~

Vera stared to aria and shouted

"Doesn't in matter that this nanny get hurt "shouted by vera

*Chuckles*

"Why would i"

"Huh?!"

Aria touch vera cheeks sofly and stared to her with no expression

"Why Nanny are you scared of me?"

Tremble~Tremble~

Aria Looked to trembling nanny

"well nanny doesn't Understand what i say Awhile ago... I said get out to my room but you dragged me with no Permission So i get angry"

"So nanny don't touch anyone else with no permission that you can't get hurt.."

" Because if you touch me you have to pay the prize"

Aria said with glowing red eyes

Vera freeze at the situation

"hmm, Nanny's embezzling, covering it as child support, is a big mistake. Right?"

*Flinch*

"What"

"but don't worry since I'm not going to tell Father. So there's no need for Nanny to be in trouble."

*Gulp*

"I don't know where you heard that, but if you use your mouth carelessly, your tongue will be cut off!"

"But the Duke will soon find it strange. Why didn't the nanny take action even though she knew there was a hole?"

"T, t, that's...!"

"I say it again nanny I'm not going tell to the duke your embezzling so get out to my room"

Aria expression become colder

' i don't have interest to kill you or even your embezzling...'

"If you don't get out to my room then I go to Father right away. As the nanny asked, I will kneel in front of the Duke and tell the truth."

"No!"

Vera hurriedly grabbed Aria's arm and threw her back.

Click.

At the same time, John came in and shouted in surprise, "What the hell is this!"

Charlotte, who had been watching the situation quietly until then, ran to Aria with a surprised look.

"Lady! Are you all right?"

Vera became paler when she noticed Charlotte's presence, whom she had even forgotten was still here with them.

'Why was Charlotte still here?'

"Heuk... This is too much, nanny. No matter how much you hate me coming to the third floor, how could you do this to me...?"

Then they stared to aria

Vera was about to faint.

"What nonsense is that all of a sudden!"

"I also know that I shouldn't be on the third floor. But I can't go against what Father says..."

"How dare you refuse to obey the Lord's commands, Vera"

"She's lying!"

"Then what did I just see? Why did you push the Lady?"

"She hurt me and that child has a power, look I get scar because of her, Charlotte see it right Charlotte! Did you see that right"

"Huh" Charlotte said with confused face

'What a fool i use my power only to her,

"Vera you dont have scar"

"What?"

Vera touch her face

"What is this wht but awhile ago i have scar that bleeding why i dont have scar!!"

"i think you are becoming crazy vera"

"What....."

"Don't you know that it's a felony to harm a noble?"

A commoner who injures an aristocrat is whipped to death so that their back is torn, or is branded as a slave.

Although she is a substitute princess, Aria was still a noble, so if this fact were known, it would definitely be disadvantageous to Vera,

"B-but"

"That's enough, So get out of here!"

'It's weird. Something's weird...'

'Is aria is a wizard?'

'No, it can't be...'

Vera went out of the bedroom, reassuring herself.
