“It’s all done miss.”

“Thanks Sasha.”

After changing my clothes, I went straight to the dining room where my father was waiting. The large table in the room was full of food that looked delicious. Premium steaks with a savory spices, freshly grilled turkey, prepared to make you hungry and there’s a rare herbal tea that has been served. As I gazed at the food, I sat down on the chair opposite my father who was laughing at me and opened my mouth.

“Father, I think you have too much food.”

“Today is not an ordinary day, but the day you were born, Aren.”

My father smiled and said to me. When I saw the smile of my father, whom I thought I would never see again, it seemed that my eyes would turn red again.

“Eat a lot, Aren. If you need more, tell me.”

“Yes father.”

“Why are your eyes so red? Anyway, is there somewhere in pain?”

I have survived to the fullest, but I worry about my father. I shook my head and put a piece of meat into my mouth.

“No, I’m fine, father.”

“But… ”

“Wow! This meat is so delicious! The chef must have worked hard today.”

As I pushed another piece of meat into my mouth and said that, my father felt relieved and took the other food for me.

My father, who was eating roast turkey silently, asked me, holding a teacup of herbal tea in his hand.

“It’s a long-awaited birthday, but do you have anything you want? I bought jewelry and a dress, but I don’t know if you like it.”

“When did my father give me a gift that I didn’t like?”

“Haha! You say something like that. You are all grown up.”

My father’s pleasant laughter filled the dining room. I decided to take the time for my father and put the main topic later.

“Father, I actually want to have one thing to commemorate my birthday.”

“Tell me anything.”

Can I really say anything?

No, I had to say it, in order not to lose this peace again.

“But what I want to have is people, not objects.”

“… Person?”

“Yes.”

My father, who blinked his eyes several times, opened his mouth as if he had thought of something.

“Is there someone you had in your heart?”

My father said that while taking the teacup he was holding to his mouth. I opened my lips again to correct my father’s thinking.

“No, it’s because I want a younger brother.”

-Pooh!

I said that when my father had been drinking his tea. Thanks to this, I, who was sitting right across from him, received my father’s baptism.

“… Ah, Aren? Younger brother? What does that mean? That means seeing this father marrying again…”

“No. You don’t have to.”

I continued talking while wiping my father’s mouth with a napkin.

“I’m thinking of bringing a younger brother.”

“Well, what the hell does that mean? Bringing a younger brother out of nowhere…This father can’t keep up what you’re talking about.”

My Father leaned against the chair and touching his forehead with both hands. His hand on his forehead was trembling quite a bit as if he was embarrassed a lot.

“Father, do you trust me?”

At what I said, my father lowered his hand and looked at me. As if weighing my words, my father frowned slightly and then said, loosening his expression.

“You are the only one I trust in the world.”

“So, I would like you to explain why my smart daughter said that. This father is very embarrassed to say that she is bringing her younger brother.”

My father was trying to understand me even though I said strange things. So I couldn’t even tell the truth. How can I say to my father who cares about me, ‘In the future I saw, my father died on the battlefield and his daughter was taken advantage of by her former fiance and was stabbed to death.’

I couldn’t say that to my father. I don’t even know how I got back to the past right now. So what I said to my father is deceit itself.

However, I wanted to live my whole life with him, even if I had to lie to him.

I knew how precious this little peace is after I died. It doesn’t matter if anyone points at me for being selfish.

“I thought it would be nice to have a younger brother who can always protect me.”

“If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to have a few knights as an escort?”

“A knight can’t be a family. Have you ever thought that you wished you had a son?”

“I have enough of you in the family.”

My father touched his chin and said in a firm tone. I lowered my eyes as if I sad.

“I know what I say will sound weird.”

“…..”

“Father, I want you to listen to my stupid one this time. Having a younger brother will be of great help to the family.”

“…Is it helpful to the family?”

“Yeah. I’m not bringing anyone, but I’m trying to bring someone who can help our family as my younger brother. It’s a big deal if our family’s healing power is known to others, right? How about having a strong man as my younger brother in order to prevent such an accident.”

“Hmm…”

My father seemed to be pondering. I added, staring at my father.

“I will bring a child who is strong enough to protect our family and listens well. Obviously, father will also like it.”

Casadine was the safest defense for a future. I had to bring him. This is because the one I want to bring as my younger brother later becomes the greatest Knight Commander in the history of the Seville Empire, and also feared by other countries.

If my memory is correct, at this point he would’ve been active as a slave gladiator. He had to hit the player first before he could get into the Imperial Palace after being caught by the Prince.

Here is my plan. Living as a slave gladiator, I will take the desperate Casadine, who has been driven to the edge of the cliff, as my younger brother, and will feed him well and treat him well.

I would have had a hard time to make him my younger brother, whose status is a slave, but I was ready to take on anything. If that happens, he will become my younger brother to go to the battlefield instead of my father.

My father also lives, and even if Damian had the limit for his life, the least temporary measures would be provided. In the future I know, the only person who could defeat Damian, who is called a master of swordsmanship, it was Casadine, the youngest Knight Commander in the future.

“I have never asked for something like this, Father.”

“Right.”

My father thought about something, and after a while, he slowly moved his tightly closed lips.

“Aren, I didn’t even know that you would be having such troubles alone. And I didn’t even know that you were thinking of our family like this.”

“….”

“Aren, as you said, you have never asked me like this. I believe more than anyone else that my daughter wouldn’t have spoken for no reason. It must have a deep meaning. Since you were young, you were smarter than anyone else.”

“… father.”

“Whether your younger brother or anything, bring it in front of me. I trust my daughter. Instead, try to bring the right one. If you bring a guy who isn’t the right one, I’m not going to let you put a shot on this count!”

“Father!”

I got up and hugged my father. My father shrugged as if he had lost and patted me on my back.

“There are no parents who win the children. None of the old words are wrong.”

I laughed a little at my father’s words. After a successful meal, the first thing I did when I came back to my room was to change into an out-of-town dress that was perfect for my appearance, changing into a light blue dress with exposed collarbones.

The maid, Sasha, praised my appearance all the time.

“It’s all done my lady. My lady is really pretty!”

Certainly, wearing a light blue dress makes my face more live. I may feel that way thanks to Sasha’s fuss.

“How about these earrings and necklaces? I think it will go very well with you.”

Sasha had already hung a bright blue sapphire necklace around my neck and bite her lower lip with a sound of ‘Oops’. A loud laugh came out of that quick action.

“Thank you, Sasha. I like it.”

Sasha smiled brightly at my answer. Seeing the happy figure of Sasha, I thought of Casadine that I would meet in a while. If he could be my henchman, there would be no more reinforced reinforcements. If my memory is correct, it was the time when the gladiator competition was in full swing. It was more than a year from now that Casadine was noticed by the Prince, but I had to get him to as quickly as possible. Because I could never waste this opportunity to come back to life. Casadine was absolutely needed to defeat Damian.

“Today is your birthday, where are you going out, Miss?”

Sasha, a loyal maid who has been supporting me since I was a child, asked me, tilting her head with a strange face.

When I said that I was going to be engaged to Damian in the past, she shed tears, as if visible.

“There i.”

I laughed at Sasha, replied, got ready, and rode in the Count’s carriage with the white eagle symbol, the symbol of our family. Before entering the carriage, the coachman asked the destination.

“Miss, where would you like to take?”

“Go to the stadium where the gladiator competition is held.”

“… Do you mean is a gladiator arena?”

“I heard that there is a famous gladiator arena in the outskirts. Today is my birthday, and I want to see the Slave Gladiator game at least once.”

“Oh, I see.”

The coachman was a bit embarrassed, but soon drove the carriage without talking. Sitting in the carriage, I looked at the scenery outside the window, and then closed my eyes for a moment.
