《The Ultimate Puppeteer, Aristia's Brother || The Abandoned Empress》Chapter 13: Respect

"I wish to learn how to wield a sword!"

Though it may not look like it, but I am listening to their conversation. And as soon as she said those words I placed my pen down. I decided to watch this scene before I interfere.

"You can't even run without a fall. How will you hold a sword? I don't recommend it"

"But I really wish to learn"

"You were born with a frail body. Harsh training will strain you even more"

"I'll work really hard! I want to overcome my weak physique! To build up my strength, at least, please? Can't there be someway I can learn?"

It was now my time to back up Ari.

"I can help you with that, since I too was born with a frail body, but are you sure that's what you really want?-"

Dad looked at me like I betrayed him, so I looked at him like when was I at your side?

Him: ≖_≖

Me: (¬_¬)

"-before that, let me ask you one thing. Ari, does it... have anything to do with the prince?"

"You did mention that Hou didn't want anything to do with the prince..."

Just like at the script dad asked that question. And now she's looking at her lap, as I can see her clench her hands tightly.

"Did you remember something from before?"

"Or perhaps did it have something to do with your nightmare from before?" I added after Dad asked his.

Right.. I might not only be the one to return from the future. If Father remembers the miserable past, just like me. What will I do?

"About when you were little?"

"When I was little?"

Oh..he's talking about something else. Whew, but...

"What do you mean when I was little? I met the prince for the first time a few days ago at the palace..."

Huh Father looks disappointed for a moment.

"...Then I suppose not, never mind what I just said. So then what is your reason?"

I took a deep breath and straightened my back even more as I said

"I don't want to get married, Father. I just want to stay like this and live happily with you guys, Brother and Papa..."

...WAIT WHAT DID I JUST SAY!?

"Ahh..!"

At this rate, I didn't just turn back into a child's body. Even my mind is becoming childish! How could I say something so childish...

That...That was so adorable, even Dad was in a daze. So I held out my hands first.

"Ari come here"

She was fidgeting as she came closer, so when she was close enough I lifted her up and went closer to Dad.

"I thought you were all grown up now. But you're still a baby."

"Right. If that's what my dear Sister wishes for let's do that...But I am as strict as Dad, so please prepare yourself"

"Yes Papa!! Yes Big Brother!!"

It was all so peaceful till that psychopath wanted to become Ari's Fiancé.

"Good morning, Aristia!!"

"Hello Allendis!! Good morning big Brother!!"

I just nodded as my greeting, and continued re-tying the string on my bow. I held the string and pulled it back listening to the tsurune (the sound the string of the bow makes after the arrow is shot). And it sounded perfectly beautiful, but then what I saw next annoyed me. The Filthy psychopath is hugging our angel, my dear Sister.

"Allendis you should let go first"

So as the same time as my Dad we pulled them away from each other, 7 meters apart.

"What are you doing sir Allendis?" My Father asked the guy with fetus memories.

"You heard what my Sister said, but you didn't let go..."

"I didn't mean anything more sirs. I was just happy to learn together with Aristia."

"Enough" me and dad said at the same time.

"Ari start running for 6 laps, were starting to build your strength little by little" I told her while crossing my arms

"I will be joining you at your warm up, so don't focus on anything else but at the scenery to distract yourself if your tired"

"Yes sir!"

"Ouch!!"

With that I immediately jumped out of my study room, which is at the second floor by the way. Landing on the semi-hard ground doing a roll, to not strain my legs, and standing up. Walking towards them with my self-made first aid kit in hand, while dusting my clothes lightly. There was a bit of dust on my coat's shoulders so I patted that off.

Them: ( 〇 □ 〇)

Without saying anything I held her hands in mine, while gesturing Lina to give me the wet towel. Once I was finished disinfecting it, I dabbed ointment to soothe the pain and make it heal faster.

"This will take away the pain after a while and make it heal faster. Would you like to take a break? Or do you want to continue?"

"I suggest you take a break until your hands heal" Tsk I wasn't asking for your opinion weed.

"B-b-Brother!? Ah! I uhm would like to continue!"

I just nodded and wrapped her hands with the elastic bandages I made, so that it won't make her uncomfortable while training. Once I was finished I patted her head and nodded to the people around.

"That fabric wrapped around your hand will also work as a glove for you... Continue your training"

As the young knight in shining armor left once again to continue his studies, the knights in training and servants were all mesmerised.

The knights in training and servants: (✪д✪)✧

"I really think you should just rest though"

"No, I can't take a break just for this..."

"Oh? You're suddenly even more energetic. You collapsed after running only 2 laps just a while ago-"

Don't say that as if you don't have put stamina as well!

"You too Allendis... Actually it's because Father and Brother gave me a sword"

"Oh... Really? The Marquess and him?"

"Although it's a sword for children. But it was the first time they gave me anything, so I would've been happy whatever it was"

"You really like Marquess Keiran and sir Anastacius, don't you?..."

"Huh?"

What is he talking about? Of course I love Father and Brother, especially when they did so much for me.

"HOLD ON, SIR LIEG!! HAVE YOU SEEN OUR LADY'S HANDS!? HOW COULD YOU MAKE HER TRAIN LIKE THAT UNTIL HER DELICATE HANDS ARE TURNED INTO PULP!"

Oh Lina, you worry about me too much, you startled sir Lieg...

"That's normal in the beginning. The blisters on your hands will burst several times, and you won't be able to handle a sword until this blisters turn into callouses. Of course her hands would be hurt while training!!... That's why I didn't want the lady to start training. "

The brunette sighed as he scratches the back of his head, feeling at the young maid's nagging.

" OUR LADY'S HEALTH HAS ALWAYS BEEN QUITE DELICATE EVER SINCE SHE WAS BORN. HOW CAN YOU MAKE HER TRAIN LIKE JUST LIKE OTHERS WHO HAS ALWAYS BEEN HEALTHY!?"

And then he snapped.

"BECAUSE THE COMMANDER ORDERED US NOT TO GO EASY ON HER!"

"YOU'RE SO STUBBORN!! ARE YOU ALWAYS THIS CRUEL, SIR LIEG!?"

"ARE YOU SAYING A KNIGHT WHO PROTECTS THE EMPIRE SHOULD GO SOFT AND EASY!?"

Then out of nowhere an arrow was shot between them, landing on the ground. The two who were bickering,the arrow was shot outside of the kids perspective. It had a paper attached to it, they were both frozen.

Taking a deep breath, the brunette slowly opened the paper :

You both dare have a fight in front of her

They didn't need to look who the letter was from.Because the moment the arrow landed between them, they already knew it was from the eldest of the La Monique siblings. Trembling a little, they both looked up at the window where the eldest was studying, they saw the albino looking down at both of them. With another arrow ready to be shot. They both paled at the sight.

Then they were distracted by the sudden voice of the youngest albino. Both of the kids were confused as to why the two young adults suddenly stopped.

"I'm alright Lina. I started this because I wanted to. I've made you worry, Lina... I'm sorry and thank you"

"My Lady...! Oh dear- to think that such a young and delicate lady would put herself to such hardship!!"

Meanwhile the brunette was still staring at the albino who was aiming the arrow at them, when the albino quickly changed the direction and let the arrow go. The brunette's eyes widened.

"AAGHH!!"

"What's wrong!?"

"Someone's been injured during practice!!"

The brunette was slightly panicking.

"The commander and captain are both not here though!"

As the youngest Albino was ordering the others to call a doctor, the brunette was still asking the other of how it happened.

"There was someone who shot an arrow, but that wasn't the reason he got hurt. Actually if that arrow didn't hit the sword, the sword would've hit his chest. Do you know who shot it though?"

The brunette turned his head looking at the opened window, where the Albino was last seen, to find him not there anymore.

With that the whole squadron's respect and admiration for the eldest albino grew even more.
