Sacher Philip.

To Karin, that name was like an object of love and hatred.

Karin, who lost her mother in the Demon War when she was young,

There were always few people in the family to lean on.

My father, the only parent, was the vice-captain of the Imperial Guard Knights.

He had more days when he wasn’t with his family, and there were many other things he needed to take care of besides his family.

The elders of the family were locked in an old accident.

Because Karin, a woman, was more talented than Sacher, he hated her to the extreme.

They planted a negative perception of Karin in all the family members, and no one looked at her favorably because of that.

Butlers, maids, escort drivers, and even personal teachers.

even… Even his younger brother Sacher.

Sacher, who was not at the age of discernment at the time, did not think of herself as an older sister, being deceived by the elders.

I thought of it as a wall to be overcome someday, an enemy to be defeated later.

The inferiority complex soon turned into hatred and built a wall in the cold relationship.

A family that was the only one in the family except for the father.

At some point, they no longer felt like a family.

So she leaned herself on the sword.

Even before she was selected as a hero, Karin had a talent for swordsmanship, and handled the sword better than any other child her age.

She believed in her own talent.

He thought that once he gained overwhelming force, no one would be able to ignore him.

A father who would do anything to protect the empire.

A father like that would be happy with his growth, unlike the elders of the rotten family.

With that thought in mind, he constantly swung his sword.

Karin didn’t care about anything.

He only looked at his own sword.

Cut, cut again, stab, cut again.

Then, a day passed, a month, a year passed.

And around the time Karin turned thirteen.

Shocking news circulated within the family.

– Sacher Philip was murdered!

It was news that his brother had been kidnapped and then murdered.

He went out to inspect the estate with a few escort knights, and was horribly murdered along with the knights at a party of thieves.

That unbelievable news became a reality when his father, who was serving in the Imperial Guard, hurriedly returned to his family.

The important thing is that this fact was not known to the Empire.

The family thoroughly hid the news of Sacher’s death.

‘Imperial sword’, the fact that the knight’s family failed to protect the enemy, who had a strong possibility of successor, from kidnapping and murder.

This is because it was a shocking content that could drop the family’s honor to the ends of the earth.

The elders of the family tried to hide this fact in some way.

He hid the news of Sacher for about a month, and then tried to cover up the incident by slowly dying a natural death.

And my father…

Incredibly, I accepted this offer.

“The Philip family is the sword that protects the empire.”

My father, who used to wear his teeth like a habit, even at that moment spoke the words as an excuse.

He couldn’t really protect his children.

Even after he died, he couldn’t even protect his son’s honor.

He found the party of warriors, the originator of the incident, and secretly killed them, but it could never become Sacher’s Buddhahood.

Karin thought after experiencing all of that series of events.

In the end, the only thing I can trust is the sword.

My father, who I thought was reasonable and closest to the degree.

But he, too, was a man who had lost himself in false beliefs.

He was a person who hides himself in conflicting values and rationalizes.

for her to look

In this abnormal family, there was not a single person with correct thinking.

Maybe the mother who lost during the Demon War was also involved in the dirty work of the family.

Everything related to the family to the extent that I think so,

It came to Karin in disbelief.

“This child is your brother from now on.”

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Just like that, when a month had passed since Sacher’s death.

My father brought a certain boy.

Surprisingly, the child was clumsy, but it had almost the same appearance as Sacher’s appearance when he was alive.

His shaggy silver hair was much longer than Sacher’s, and his bloody red eyes were deeper and darker than Sacher’s.

And above all…

face.

The boy’s features were surprisingly similar to Sacher’s face.

To the point where I could believe he was Sacher’s twin brother.

“This child’s name is Sacher Philip.”

The father said so to the boy.

only one month

It was only a month since Sacher died.

Although she is a younger sister who did not treat herself as an older sister, she was a blood relative anyway, and it is a difficult time for Karin’s remaining sadness to go away.

However, the human father and the crazy family bring a person who resembles his younger brother in life and claims that he is ‘Sacher Philip’.

It means to hide the news of Sacher’s death from the outside world and to raise the boy he has never seen before as the son of the Philip family.

It was a story in a category that no normal person could understand.

“… hello. Sacher Philip.”

A boy who greets with empty eyes and an emotionless voice.

That was the first meeting between Sacher Philip and Karin Philip.

* * *

Sacher was a surprisingly comfortable child.

At first, he seemed blunt and emotionless, but as time passed, he found a brighter side.

He spoke kindly to people and approached Karin without hesitation.

Little by little I learned about the work of a family I had no knowledge of, and gradually became friends with people from a family I had no acquaintance with.

As if that was his original appearance.

He was not easily swayed by the words of the elders.

The family deficit should act like this.

You have to surpass Karin, the eldest daughter.

To that sermon that was like brainwashing.

He would quietly nod his head in agreement in front of them, but when he turned around and was in front of Karin, he would joke that he would die of annoyance.

Seeing Sacher like that, Karin felt that her heart, which had been closed for a long time, opened little by little.

family and siblings.

Watching Sachere gradually brighten, I felt as if I really had that kind of existence for me.

“sister! Look at this. There are so many acacias here!”

“Sister, would you like some cake? The butler gave it to me earlier, but there are too many left.”

“sister! Teach me swordsmanship too!”

Her father and elders called her Karin, and all the servants in the family called themselves Lady.

Even Sacher, who was actually her younger brother, did not call herself older sister from the moment she was seduced by the elders.

Karin. Either that or there. It was just a hard name.

That’s how I forgot about the word noona, and I thought I’d never hear it for the rest of my life.

But this child with not a single drop of blood.

He was not at all seduced by the words of the family members and elders.

He just looked at the world the way he thought and treated her as an older sister.

sister.

The resonance of that simple title could not have been so pleasant.

It’s not just blood relation to Karin,

A real family was forming.

So much time passes.

Karin suddenly realized that Sacher’s face did not resemble the Sacher’s in life.

Little by little, as time passed, his face began to change.

When asked about this, Sacher said that he used reagents.

“If you refer to that person’s portrait, it’s a magic tool that can transform into something similar for a short period of time. Instead, the effect isn’t that great, so it gets resolved quickly.”

But externally, there is no problem.

At first, it was a similar face, but it can be explained by saying that the face changed as it grew up.

Sacher said most of his other parts were also made of reagents.

His hair color is originally red, not silver, and his eyes are also blue.

He used a magic tool reagent that could change his hair color semi-permanently, and changed his eye color by wearing colored lenses.

To the extent that people who don’t know him would mistake him for being the son of the Philip family.

It was a perfect permanent disguise.

Karin became curious about this child.

What kind of story did he come into the family hiding himself so much?

He changed his hair color, eye color, face, and even his name.

Sacher came to the family when he was only 10 years old.

What happened to Sacher’s parents at that time?

Are there any other siblings?

The closer I got to Sacher, the more I wanted to know about him.

There were many questions.

But Karin couldn’t ask for more.

One day when I accidentally asked about understanding.

Sachere’s face recalling the past,

Because it was filled with indescribable suffering.

* * *

The year Karin turned 18, was chosen as a hero and entered the academy.

The Asmodian War, which only comes once every 10 years, happened again this time without fail.

Karin applied as a student soldier and participated in the Demon War.

It is compulsory for the aspiring warriors of the academy to participate in the war from the 3rd year, but for the 1st and 2nd years, it is only their choice to participate in the war.

Nonetheless, Karin applied for the student army without hesitation.

This is because this war was a demon war that took away his mother 10 years ago.

Karin overwhelmingly defeated monsters despite her weight class being a freshman.

Its activity reached the imperial family, to the point that it was said that it was the Philip family.

But maybe I was too ambitious?

During the war, I was beaten by them.

An extremely poisonous demon clan, Venom Arcus.

Venom Arcus caused poison throughout the empire.

They possessed more than a thousand types of poison, befitting their nickname of the extremely poisonous clan, and those who were poisoned by them did not discriminate from warriors to ordinary people.

With so many types of poison, making an antidote during Safe Time was never an easy task.

Most of the people affected by Venom Arcus died because they couldn’t create an antidote.

Numerous victims occurred throughout the empire.

Many died, and many were dying.

It was the same with Karin.

Even the high-ranking priest who brought her at a high price couldn’t cure her, and everyone in the family gave up on Karin.

Even her father, who was on the front lines of the war, had no intention of coming to see her.

“It’s okay, sister. Sleep well and have nice dreams.”

but only one.

Sacherman did not give up on her.

From the day Karin was escorted back, he started making antidotes around the entire empire.

Dozens or hundreds of types?

The number of types of poison that Venom Arcus spread was beyond imagination, and Sacher worked tirelessly to find the poison that had spread to Karin.

prepare and administer an antidote,

If it doesn’t work, make a new antidote again.

Looking at that sincere young care.

Karin was able to comfort her exhausted heart.

The wounds festering in the mind rather than the body,

He was being healed by the kind touch.

The days of the family that were like hell,

It was filled with Sacher’s warmth.

“sister! are you okay? What does your body look like?”

“… are you okay. I don’t think it hurts… .”

That’s how Karin was able to miraculously wake up.

The last antidote that Sacher had been preparing cured Gearko Karin.

The poison remaining in the body disappeared as if washed away, and there were no major aftereffects even after being poisoned for a long time.

But Karin, in that happy moment,

I couldn’t look directly at Sacher’s face.

This feeling towards Sacher,

That I no longer had feelings for my family.

It was a feeling of something beyond gratitude.

Because she knew better than anyone else.
