The Male Lead s Fake Sister CH 56

A certain feeling rises whenever I cross the line.

Everytime I look back, I realize that there’s simply no going back for me.

I couldn’t return to what I used to be.

Most of the time, I wanted to suppress my desire, turn away and put out the hope once and for all.

But I could no longer deny it.

Embracing Ravia made me realize the reason why I wandered so far into the wilderness.

I realized that only one person could make me crave this much.

Only then did I get a clear view of my old revenge.

Those days when revenge was my sole motivation.

Those who I had to slaughter.

I couldn’t go through life without planning how to exact my revenge.

In fact, I already knew.

The bony skeleton which caught my ankle whenever I looked back.

I kept envisioning my father’s face on that skull.

And I’m not confident enough to shake off what has been weighing me down….

However, not all emotions last forever.

The deceased could not hold down the living forever.

The object of my revenge was too far away to be grasped, and I was immersed in the sweet scents of a woman before my eyes.

My revenge, which hadn’t arisen in my mind for a while, was no longer my priority because of Ravia.

‘Killing all the Leontines…is not the only way to get my revenge.’

I don’t need to become a duke to take revenge.

Wouldn’t it be okay to tell Ravia everything and find a way to settle this situation…

What if I let my sister take over the successor position Perhaps it could be my redemption for intervening in Ravia’s life.

And if Ravia can forgive me, then I can tell her about my revenge.

About my family history that I have never told anyone….

Buried in his thoughts, the murky air in the banquet hall felt even more dreadful.

Tidwell raised his eyes to look for Ravia.

‘Why are you taking so long, Sister’

He wanted to ask Ravia for time to talk after the first dance ended, but he didn’t expect Ravia to be away for so long.

‘If only people weren’t getting in the way, I would have followed you.’

There were people who wanted to talk to them, so it’d be difficult for them both to leave the hall at the same time.

‘Why are there so many people even though it’s only a two-story banquet hall’

Even when he looked toward the tower of wine glasses, there was no sign of Ravia.

After her long absence, anxiety began to creep up on him.

The voices of those who turned their backs after Ravia left echoed in Tidwell’s mind.

-Speaking of which, I didn’t expect him to turn up today.

-It was quite a sight, wasn’t it The noble princess showed up with her adopted brother.

-Did the Marquis send him an invitation, too

-Well…you all know what he’s like, right

-That’s true.

I feel sorry for that gentleman, but I don’t think anyone’s willing to approach him if the princess isn’t around.

-I heard he’s been building connections little by little lately…as you know the Duke personally raised him to be his successor.

-I don’t know….that’s only something that we can talk about after he receives the Marquis’ invitation.

The voices of those who criticized Leontine’s adopted son were sharp and pointy just like a scale needle.

-Then why would the Princess bring her brother That makes me wonder.

This banquet isn’t for anyone to attend.

So why…

-Who knows Maybe it’s just for show.

How do we know what others think

When someone lightly concluded the conversation, everyone nodded at his words and quickly switched to another topic.

Their topic of conversation was as light as their hovering whispers.

They weren’t criticizing Ravia, so he just listened quietly.

But when the situation had turned out this way, their conversation suddenly crept back to him.

Maybe it’s just for show.

‘It’s not a very good idea to use the invitation to establish my standing.’

People began to doubt his appearance today.

Now that Leontine’s adopted son made a public appearance, what will happen to the structure

If Ravia tried to establish his position externally, making such a scene would be fatal to her.

So did Ravia really try to skin me alive using this method

But if that’s not the case, why the hell hasn’t she appeared this whole time

There are two possible scenarios.

She purposely left him alone for whatever reason.

Or she bumped into someone and got stuck with them.

He might have been more relaxed had it been another time or place, but today was an exception.

There was a risk factor in this banquet hall.

‘Don’t tell me you met Herod.’

That would be the worst.

Eventually and after much consideration, Tidwell turned in the direction where Ravia had disappeared.

He thought of staying still since they might miss each other if he moved around in a place like this, but he’d be more at ease looking for her.

Wouldn’t it be easier to find her if I go up to the second floor and look down at the hall

Eventually he moved his feet to free himself from the dilemma that stemmed from his deep anxiety.

But suddenly there was a commotion behind him.

Rather than a commotion, it was people murmuring as if welcoming someone.

That someone was Marquis Callister, the banquet host.

“Thank you for inviting me, Marquis! It’s been a while, right My parents send their regards to Marquis….”

“I heard you made a big donation to the orphanage again.

How can you be so benevolent…”

Similar to when Ravia and Tidwell entered the hall a while ago, the crowd greeted him amicably.

If there was anything different, maybe the fact that they looked a little more sincere

It wasn’t surprising considering what Marquis Callister had done for his community and his great reputation.

Tidwell wanted to strike a conversation with him, but now something else had become his priority.

‘Find my sister first.’

So Tidwell turned away.

No, he was about to turn away.

Just right at that moment.

He saw Marquis Callister surrounded by the crowds.

“You look impeccable today.

By the way, Marquis, is that corsage a real flower”

“Ah, yes.

My granddaughter made it for me.

How does it look”

Tidwell was as hard as a rock the moment he saw the white flower attached on the Marquis’ chest.

How can I not recognize that flower

He had got to this point thanks to that flower.

The flower that his parents loved and that drove them to their death….

‘Why this of all things’

Why did that clear evidence appear in front of me now

If I had known a month, no, a few days earlier, I wouldn’t have hesitated to take revenge.

Why now when I already let go of revenge…

Crack-

I felt like I heard a dull noise somewhere.

When I looked down, the skeleton was already biting my ankle.

The skull with my father’s face had red spider lily stuck in its eye sockets, and he smiled creepily.

(T/N: Red spider lily known as the flower of death)

Son.

Are you done with your sweet dream You have to wake up now.

 

***

 

Ravia’s ‘vase’ finally made an appearance at the banquet.

She looked down from the second floor indifferently.

‘Well done, Crow.’

Amnesia was stuck on Marquis Callister’s chest just as she requested.

Tidwell had no choice but to see it and connect the dots.

‘There’s a way to make Marquis Callister pin flowers to his own outfit.’

It was known that Marquis Callister treasured his granddaughter so much.

And due to his good relationship with Duke Leontine, Ravia was able to obtain additional information.

‘His granddaughter is into flower arrangement these days.’

As she learned gardening, she became really good at arranging flowers.

So the Marquis asked his granddaughter to make him a corsage to use on important events.

What Ravia asked Crow was simple.

-The Marquis’ daughter will order flowers to make a corsage.

Secretly mix up Amnesia among her flowers.

-I’ll do as you say, but what if she chooses a flower other than Amnesia

-Worry not.

If you mix it properly, she’ll definitely choose Amnesia.

There was this kind of plant.

A plant that spoils its surroundings and prevents other flowers from growing.

Who would choose withered flowers as a present for her grandfather

Amnesia was one such plant.
