The Villain’s Sister Suffers Today

“You want me to choose?”

All of a sudden? What?

When I looked closely, someplace with a sign was written on Butler’s map.

[Village Godda, Batman Theater]

[Village Tallulah, Mom’s Name Theater]

[Village Hamtopia, Deathblow Theater]

I thought about what they all meant and looked at the Butler again.

“What is this?”

“These are nearby villages and the theatre companies that are on tour in those villages.”

“Theater tour?”

“I've only sorted out what's been heard. I thought it was time for you to refresh yourself, so I prepared this.”

My ears were stiff at the Butler's words.

Relaxation!

‘That's a good idea.'

If I stopped by a nearby village for a short trip and watched a performance and looked around the village, I thought there would be no change of mood.

‘But……'

I glanced at Ash, suppressing my excitement.

The angle of the eyebrows has changed subtly.

Of course. The first word I expected came out of Ash's mouth, who was dissatisfied with me going down the stairs with my feet.

“As you get older, you're doing useless things, Butler.”

“What do you mean useless?”

“It's cold outside. Where do you want her to go with her sick body in this weather?”

‘I’m not sick!'

I didn't want to admit it, but he really treated me as a patient.

I'm not sick. I look so fine. I've been getting better sleep lately. I even eat well and my arms and legs feel lighter.

I can't be more healthy than this!

As soon as I tried to protest like that, the Butler answered first.

“It's not yet time for the heavy cold weather to begin. So it's the best time to go now.”

“Butler.”

“Your Excellency.”

The Butler smiled his characteristic gentle smile from his old age.

Then he talked about himself that no one asked.

“I have four children who are married.”

But that was never a meaningless personal gain. The Butler added.

“I've stood by my pregnant wife four times.”

“…….”

Ash flinched. I saw it. It was subtle, but Ash definitely flinched.

“The time has passed for Madam to be extra careful, and it's time for her to refresh herself. Madam must have been frustrated, so on the contrary, now is the time to change her mood.”

‘Right! You're doing a good job, Butler!'

“Rather, refraining from going out too much and restricting movement is not good for the mother's body.”

‘Butler is the best! That's cool, Butler!’

“I heard that if the mother's activity is too low, the pain doubles when giving birth.”

‘That's true……. What?'

I enthusiastically cheered for the Butler and stopped.

When I gave birth……. What?

My spine got cold. I felt like I heard something shocking enough to forget the cheering.

Maybe it wasn't just a shock to me, but I felt Ash's arm getting stiffened.

Soon Ash put me down.

Then he kindly dragged the map right in front of him and said.

“Where do you want to go?”

I looked down at the map with grim eyes.

‘A place to walk a lot.'

A place where I could walk a lot, where I move a lot, where I could be active……

He looked through the map with a serious look and paused for a moment.

[Village Genis, Woman Fovia Theater.]

[Village Rondmio, Aero Theater.]

There was a letter that magically caught my eye among these unidentified names alone.

[Thousand Fates Theater]

I pointed my finger at the position without hesitation.

“Here. I'll go here.”

There is no need to look at the rest.

Who made the name? Maybe the owner of the theatre company? I don't know who it is, but it's a good name. With one name, the theatre is going to be on a roll for the rest of its life.

Thinking so, I looked up, and I saw the faces of the two men subtly changed.

‘Huh?'

Among them, I looked at Sir Davery, who had a particularly large change in facial expressions, and then I lowered my eyes again.

When I slipped my finger away, the name of the village next to the name of the theatre that was hidden in my hand was revealed.

[Hidden.]

“Uh…….”

At the moment, some information quickly mixed up in my head.

I mean, Hidden is a place where people became famous for their dying illegal fighting gambling, and Ash used to be there…….

My mouth opened even before I could organize my thoughts.

“I was actually talking about this side.”

The finger gently moved to the side. [Village latte, Yellow Broom Theater], ugh, just looking at the name is already not fun, but I can’t help it.

But then Sir Davery opened his mouth.

“No, Hidden is more good than that place.”

“Huh?”

“Although I say it with my own lip, it's a good place. There are a lot more things to see. The gambling house is deep down from the centre, so you won't see it unless you visit it on purpose.”

I blinked my eyes.

It was not because of anyone else but Sir Davery that I turned my words around and avoided Hidden.

However, it was surprising that Sir Davery came forward to defend the Hidden.

‘Didn’t he had a bad memory there?'

It's my own prejudice that he must have had a hard time rolling in the gambling house, and did I get along unexpectedly?

Well, that's possible. Sir Davery is so talented that Ash recognized him and brought him.

He could have ruled as an undefeated champion who knocked anyone out of the pool in seconds.

“If you say so…….”

I was convinced and nodded. In fact, I wanted to pretend not to know even if I didn't understand. I liked the name of the theatre that much.

“Let's go there. I want to see this theatre performance. Ash, are you okay with it?”

I turned my eyes and saw Ash this time.

As soon as our eyes met, Ash answered as if he had prepared it.

“As much as you want.”

***

“Are you an idiot?”

No matter who heard it, Davery didn't react to the words full of intentions to tease him.

Dylan did not care about his opponent's inaction but instead followed him to his side as if she was used to it and spoke again.

“No, why are you recommending it there? It's not even enough if you jump up to oppose it. Sir Sack, I haven't seen you this much, are you really stupid?”

“You’re noisy.”

Davery crumpled his forehead and answered Dylan's direction without even looking.

Dylan burst into laughter.

It's been almost five months since she came into the Dukedom after receiving a direct offer from Lydia.

Dylan, a knight of the Duke, a colleague and a bad friend of Davery's, said he could not help but laugh.

“I'm just curious. What's wrong with you?”

She asked sincerely.

When Dylan heard the story from a servant she ran into, she first doubted her ears.

“I don't think it's because you really like Hidden, and unless there's two skies or  your head doesn't work out.”

Dylan knew better than anyone else here how Davery thought of Hidden.

It was natural that she was the one who rolled with Davery in Hidden until he became the duke's knight.

In her view, it was literally a fluke that she had done in the living room during the day, namely, to stand up and defend Hidden and recommend it to Lydia as a destination.

“What's the reason?”

“……..”

“If you can't avoid it, enjoy it? No, but I heard the Duchess tried to avoid it first.”

“…….”

“Why would you kick your chance and make Hidden a destination?.”

“How far are you going to come?”

Davery ignored Dylan's persistent question and finally stopped and turned around.

She had no choice but to. One step away from here was Davery’s residence.

Dylan brazenly crossed her arms at the door of Davery's residence.

“Your bedroom.”

“Are we close enough to get in and out of each other’s bedroom? Not that I remember.”

“We can go in without being intimate.”

“I'll report you.”

“Hey, Sir Davery Sock. Just tell me. What's the reason? I don't think there's a specific reason.”

Dylan never gave up or got tired.

Davery was speechless for a moment.

Despite her persistence, Dylan was sharp. That was right. There’s no specific reason, not at all, not for a great reason.

So it was hard for him to answer more.

However, if left as it was, Dylan would really stick to her persistency, so Davery was forced to speak.

“…….Because If I felt reluctant to go to Hidden, it looks like I really tried to hide my past.”

“What?”

“I’ve answered enough. If you've heard it, you've got to go. I'm going to wash up.”

Without giving his opponent a chance to answer, Davery quickly entered his residence and slammed the door shut.

In time, Davery's face turned red leaning against the door.

‘Damn it.’

He ashamed.

He felt embarrassed.

To explain in his own retrospective what happened this day, it was actually like a thief's footsteps.

During his time at Hidden, Davery's nickname was Gaechaban. (T/N: Gaechabanrefers to a person who is very dirty in words and actions.)

There were other things. Bastard, jerk.

He lived so poorly that he was called such a nickname instead of his own name.

Of course, but it was a past that he never wanted to be caught by anyone else, especially Lydia.

And the hearing reversed Davery's behaviour during the day.

‘No, Hidden is more good than that place.’

If he shows a reluctant and evasive reaction to Hidden, he may seem like a person had something to hide.

It was a remark that popped up with that thought, and unfortunately, now that he thinks about it, it was due to a temporary accident, so it was far from reasonable behaviour.

Davery washed his face then leaned his back against the door.

‘Davery, you idiot.’

There's a limit to digging his own grave. He’s not a real moron, just like anyone said.

‘……okay, it's okay. It's been a long time anyway.'

Davery then thought to himself and soon changed his mind.

How long has it been since he left Hidden? 6 and a half years? 7 years?

In that amount of time, only a few people would have known him in Hidden.

Dead or gone, for many reasons.

That's where Hidden used to be.

Davery regained his composure, thinking so, and was impressed by the late laughter from the outside.

><><><><><><><><

“Whoaaaaa!”

As soon as we arrived at Hidden, I let out a small exclamation.

After moving for several hours by carriage, the village that appeared in the corner was during the festival.

I was admiring the street lined with colourful backs on both sides and suddenly reached out to Ash.

“My little brother, your hand please.”
