...My younger brother Franz was also ruined at the boarding school....

...Fortunately, Franz returned home, but during the tea time of the troubled family it quickly turned into a heavy atmosphere....

...“It’s nothing special. It was a perfume bottle. I want to see Hertz…”...

...Franz, who turned fifteen this year, worked tirelessly as if nothing had happened to him. However, he was not making any eye contact with any of our the family members....

...She smiled bitterly and tried to lighten the heavy atmosphere....

...“Yeah, I’ve been out of town for a long time, and I miss my house. Isn’t that right?”...

...However, the crumpled beauty of Marquis Vesta did not know what had happened. *...

...“I don’t know what happened, but it’s not good to leave without permission. Go ahead and return to the dorm”, said our Father Marquis Vesta calmly. At this time, I was probably the only person who saw Franz’s eyes shaking....

...Franz opened his mouth, struggling barely with a trembling chin....

...“Father! I’ll go back after a little while. Heh, I’m worried about Hertz’s health. Also, I’m looking at work while I’m home… “...

...The face of the father, who had no choice, was a spectacle....

...“Don’t worry, the cat is being taken care of by the deacon. Do not let me send a messenger to the Kratier boarding school.”...

...As if he had nothing more to say, my father rose from his seat....

...“Oh, Father! I’ll stay a little bit. Please… .”...

...Despite Franz’s begging, his father turned coldly....

...Then I saw it. Franz’s slender wrists hidden by the sleeves of his uniform, which followed his father’smovement. My brother’s wrist was stained with blue bruises....

...Franz, who noticed my gaze, hurriedly lowered his sleeve and tried to hide the wounds. The hands of my younger brother shivered....

...If I remain silent here, Franz will return to the Kratie Boarding School. And it will all happen as told in the story. And our family…...

...“Franz, would you like to take off your clothes for a second?”...

...I put the mug down and ordered my younger brother with a sweet face....

...“Sister? Oh, why my clothes?”...

...Franz stepped back with his arms around his chest. I grabbed a mug and glanced at the servants who were waiting at the door. They approached Franz in a hurry....

...“Sorry, Master.”...

...He bowed his head to Franz and began to take off his jacket of the Kratier boarding school uniform....

...“Take off all your shirts.”...

...“Oh no, don’t do this!”...

...Despite Franz’s shout, the servants took off Franz’s uniform....

...When his ***** upper body was revealed, the Marquis and Marquess of Vesta were shocked....

...This is because Franz’s body was spotted with wounds and bruises. Some bruises appeared on the previous day, turned red, some turned purple, and some turned black because or dried blood. They were all done by the same cadets....

...“Argh, Franz!”...

...The mother’s screams echoed....

...Perhaps this is the time when Franz is the most bullied in the boarding school....

...The mother was shocked by her son’s wounds and began to weep....

...“What are all these wounds? Who did it?”, asked the furious Marquis of Vesta Franz....

...“Please tell me from which house children are!”...

...But Franz shook his head and said nothing....

...“You dare to make my son look like this. I’ll go to Kratier right away.”...

...Franz bent on his knees and prayed to the ancestors of Marquis Vesta....

...“No, please don’t. Father, please!”...

...Franz’s begging made his father frown....

...“You guys are really …. Why didn’t you use [Shuette]? If you had used [Shuette], it wouldn’t have happened!”...

...Franz bowed his head like a sinner and said nothing....

...“Stop it, honey! To a scarred child… .”...

...Her mother hugged Franz’s slender torso....

...The child who will be the successor of the Vesta family was being bullied by the students at the boarding school....

...He sighed and began to smoke again, which had been suspended for a while....

...At this moment, if it weren’t for me, the scars on Franz’s body would not have been revealed to my parents....

...Franz would have spent the night at home, as if nothing had happened....

...And after that he would have controlled his emotions and returned to the Kratie boarding school....

...At least that was the future I knew. But it shouldn’t have been that way....

...For Franz, for my family, and for myself....

...I tried a second intervention, holding on to the moment that was going as it was originally. My heart was pounding with fear of the future....

...“Father, mother! I have something to tell you...

...When I raised my voice, my parents looked at me....

...I got up from my seat, picked up Franz jacket from the floor and covered him with it. I didn’t want to see his wounded body for too long, it’d hurt my heart....

...“Frantz doesn’t seem to fit in with the Kratier Academy.”...

...I took a deep breath and delivered my intention clearly....

...“You know, Franz is a born scholar. I’m not against becoming a knight myself.”...

...“Kyla, I understood what you are trying to say.”...

...But my father sighed and refused to listen to me: “But Franz is the official heir to our family. The Kratier Academy is an Imperial institution. If you are the heir to lead the family, you’ll have to graduate from the Academy be recognized as the successor and to be granted the title”...

...I knew you’d say that. But I didn’t intend to step down from here either....

...“The Guardian of the Yellow Knights has produced a lot of female knights. The same goes for our Vesta family. So I can do it.”...

...It was an impulsive decision. But it wasn’t the case that there weren’t any women in the history of the Vesta family. I reminded my father of that fact....

...“Kyla, you should have been trained as a kid to become a knight. But you’ve never even held a sword.”...

...As my father said, I, Kayla Vesta, have never held a sword in the seventeen years I have lived, let alone a long one....

...“Kyla Vesta was.”...

...This is the last thing in my life.*...

...“Frantz, tell father clearly. Do you want to be a knight or do you want to become a scholar?”...

...My father’s fierce eyes turned to Franz. Franz, who was was already timid at this point, was completely discouraged now....

...I poked Franz in the ribs and whispered to him: “Frantz, think of the things I have always told you abaout.”...

...There was a story I have told Franz about for the last three years since I entered this world....

...“You really want to become a knight like father wants you to?”...

...“There are times when we need to kill people.”...

...“You don’t like using violence.”...

...Franz had a nature that fits perfectly with ‘Sung Seon Seol’....

...I kept scratching and touching Franz’s weak point, pointing out what he really wanted. Franz’s ultimate desire, which had stayed suppressed in the original work....

...“You like to see birds in the woods. You said your dream is to observe wild birds.”...

...“You said all day long that there’s a lot you want to read and study.”...

...“You said you wanted to live in peace?”...

...Franz’s lips quivered finely....

...“Live the life you want to live.”...

...Franz, who has never disobeyed his parents’ wishes; Franz the good son, who loves his family and feels rewarded when helping the compassionate and weak. So retired Franz....

...Even in the original work, he couldn’t properly resist the bad guys and just suffered instead....

...“Ah, Father, I…”...

...My parents’ eyes turned to Franz’s mouth....

...“As my sister said, a scholar… I want to become one.”...

...“… Franz.”...

...For Franz, who had never disobeyed his father, this one time required an enormous amount of courage....

...I smiled and Franz, who seemed relieved at first, was now shivering. This is because Franz’s eyes finally met our parents properly....

...In fact, until Franz returned home, he couldn’t even change his fate or the future....

...I whispering sweet words to Franz for the last three years because I pitied him so much....

...I wanted to let you know that Franz, who works hard for the sake of his family, has other choices as well. That’s it. *...

...But witnessing the blue bruise on Franz’s body myself changed my mind. If it had continued, Franz would be humiliated even more....

...And my family, including me, would walk the path of extinction....

...“And once again, I want to become a knight, Father.”...

...I delivered my will clearly to my father....

...“Dear parents, have I ever been a burden to you?”...

...Neither father nor mother could answer my question....

...In my memory of Kayla Vesta, Kayla was always mature and responsible. She’s a god big sister who always gave way to her younger brother. She had always been weak against her brother....

...“I didn’t know… you wanted to beome a knight so badly. But Kyla, after the coming-of-age ceremony, it will be hard for you to change your path.”...

...My father’s expression has changed....

In this world, the 16 year-olds hold a coming-of-age ceremony regardless of whether they will graduate from the academy or not.

Especially in the aristocratic society, one usually choses the career path before becoming sixteen, but originally I also planned to enter society then.

“Do not worry, Father. I will figure it out. Speaking of which, I think Franz should change it before the coming-of-age ceremony.”

Franz also should change his career path to a scholar before he will come of age.

My mother stepped up and helped me after my father continued to worry for a long time.

“Honey, can you not do what the kids want? Above all, I can not send Franz back to such a place anymore. I don not want to send him there!”

Franz was tightly hugged in the arms of his mother, who was shedding tears.

“Then we have to send Kayla to Kratier Academy. Would that be all right?”

But mother shook her head again.

“I do not want to send Kayla to that school either. Kayla can join my family’s knights instead. I do not want to send my children to such a senseless and dangerous place.”

“But one of us must have a diploma from the Krathier Academy to continue our house.”

“Your nieces and nephews can go! They have also inherited the blood of house Vesta, so they meet the conditions.”

My father’s face was colored in displeased because of mother’s sudden proposal.

“That is no solution.”

It is because my father, who is currently the Marquis of Vesta and the head of the house, had a bad relationship with his brothers.

Turning around, father sighed deeply and threw his burnt cigarette onto the carpet floor. Immediately the servant ran and swept the ashes and cigarettes off the carpet.

I had to make a decision as my parents could not decide on who to send to the Kratier Academy.

“I am going to the Kratier Academy. Please let me go.”

“Kyla, no!”

My mother shouted at my resolution.

“I can do it. Mother, father, instead of Franz, give me the [Shuette] he has.”

“[Shuette]” is the sword of the Vesta house, which had been a house of knights for generations. If I get to have it, it means that I would become the head of the Vesta house.

“Did you not decide to have… [Sitzero]?”

Shield of Spirits [Sitzero]. [Sitzero] was one of the two treasures of the Vesta family, along with the sword [Shuette].

Franz should not have Schuette anymore, now that he has decided to change his future. What Franz should have is …

“You can give [Sitzero] to Franz, right? The owner of Sitsuro doesn’t have to carry a sword.”

I smiled leisurely at my father.

Actually, I did not really want to become a knight either. Neither was the place of the house of Vesta nor the place of the house of Bogeom [Shuette].*

My goal is for Franz to have [Sitzero] for the sake of our family. In order to change the future, Franz had to own a shield.

“One of my children does not do as I want them to.”

Eventually, father, the Marquis of Vesta, sighed. Franz’s condition would make it difficult for you to refuse my offer, father

I must slowly take away Franz’s role from now on. Starting with his role as the heir of our house, to his place at the Kratier Academy along with our family’s heirloom [Shuette].

It is for Franz’s sake, but it is also for the sake of our family.

In order to avoid the tragedy that will take place in the distant future, my younger brother Franz should not be seen by others in the future.

Until the day where he will possess the Shield of Spirits [Sitzero].

The second day of Franz’s sudden return home.

Father, Franz and I. The three of us gathered in the basement of our Vesta’s family’s mansion. [Sitzero], which was placed on the altar, was in the shape of a plain shield.

The sword [Shuette], that I will have in the future, was still sealed in Franz’s body. Now we will take out the sealed [Shuette].

“I’m following your will because you asked me to hurry, but I don’t know if this is the right thing to do.“

Though he was unsure, father placed Franz on the edge of a magic circle, which was painted on the floor.

“Give me your hand, where [Shuette] is sealed in.”

At his father’s command, Franz stretched his left hand and uncovered his soft skin before father. On the inside of Franz’s wrist was a small tattoo of a sword, only as big as a fingernail.

That’s the heirloom of the Vesta house, sealed inside Franz’s body, [Shuette]. The sword was now to be sealed into my own body.

Father took out a dagger and slightly cut Franz’s wrists, in which [Shuette] was sealed in. Franz frowned slightly as his blood started to flow.

“He, who is protected by the Spirit King, returns the Spirit’s Sword [Shuette] back to the Earth. Unseal the blood pledge.”

When Franz recited the seal-release spell of which father had him informed in advance, a long sword rose from the inside his wrist.

I looked at the sword, that floated in the air, for a long time. It’s a plain-looking sword that has not a sigle ornament in it.

It is a magical sword that anyone with the blood of the Vesta family can accept and seal inside them with a pledge.

Whenever you want, you can take out the sword and use it.

From great-grandfather to grandfather, to father and so on. All of the heads from the Vesta family had been using [Shuette] to boost their abilities.

My father took the floating [Shuette] and now it was my turn to step into the middle of the magic circle.

“Come on, Kayla. Give me your hand to seal in the Spirit Sword [Shuette].”

I stretch out my arm to my father, with the inside of my wrist on the top. Father cut the inside of my wrist with the dagger to draw out blood from it. The spilled blood was spread on [Shuette], and it began to glow blue.

“Read the seal pledge as told.”

I was a little nervous.

I kneeled down on the Magic Circle and reached out my hands to read the seal pledge.

“He who is protected by the Spirit King, receives your strength with the promise of blood. Until the day the blood of Vesta disappears, this promise will continue and as a pledge, I swear eternal loyalty to the Spirit King.”

Due to the phrase “loyalty to the King of Spirits,” the vows were always held in secret only in the basement of the Vesta family’s mansion.

This was because the pledge of loyalty was enough for the royal family to intervene if the knew.

‘It’s a spell I don’t want to put in my mouth twice.’

After the reading, [Shuette] began to be sucked into the inside of my wrist.

My right hand was as hot as a fire, with a blinding light shining all over the place.

[Shuette] dissapeared into my body at the moment when I felt close to fainting because of the extreme pain.

I could see a small cross-shaped sword tattoo appear on the inside of my wrist. I put my lips to the small cross on the inside of my wrist and called for the magical sword.*

“[Shuette].”

Then the long plain sword, that had been seen before, rose from the palm of my hand and settled properly there.

Now [Shuette] is properly sealed inside my body.

I grabbed [Shuette] and shook it lightly. It was a hand gesture I often used to loosen my body when I was kendo.

It is also different from a cheat item that sticks to your hand.

But…

When I skillfully turned the sword with one hand, the eyes of my father and Franz, who saw me, were wide open.

‘Oh, it’s the first time I have ever held a sword in my life.

“When did you learn swordsmanship? If I had known this would happen, I should have tought you with the sword.”

At my father’s reaction, I coughed in vain and sealed [Shuette] again in the inside of my wrist.

“This is the first time I have ever held a sword. I guess I must be talented.”

In my previous life, I was an amateur kendo player. When I was a junior high school student, I went out as a former president and won, but my family here doesn’t know about my past life.

“Now, it’s Franz’s turn!”

I led Franz to the center of the Magic Circle, evoking the atmosphere.

The most important fact about today’s pledges was that Franz, who does not own [Shuette] anymore, will own [Sitzero].

You should have owned [Sitzero], not [Shuette]. You could have reached the level of an Master, but no one saw your qualities.]

“Aster” was definitely what the original novel said. The ‘Aster’ must have had a clue about Franz’ potential. *

If Franz had had [Sitzero], he would have certainly become a [Master].

As with [Shuette], he was protected by the Spirit King, but it was different with Shuette.

[Shuette] was a sword that could cut anything, but could not attack the Spirit King.

But [Sitzero] was a shield of absolute immortality, that even the producer, the Spirit King, could not attack.

So if Franz becomes the true Master of [Sitzero], no one could hurt him anymore.

Franz stretched out his left hand again. On his wrist, the wound, which he sustained when he pulled out [Shuette] earlier, was still bleeding.

‘With this, the original is going to go off big.’

Looking at Franz and [Sitzero], my heart began to throb greatly.

Father squeezed the spare blood out of Franz’s wrist and sprinkled it on [Sitzero].

Then [Sitzero], like [Shuette], started to shine blue and floated into the air.

Franz sat on his knees in the middle of the Magic Circle, reading the pledge as I did.

After the pledge, everything went smoothly from Franz’s dropout to my transfer.

Despite Franz’s unauthorized departure from the academy, it didn’t seem to bother the Academy much.

This is because I will enter in Franz’ stead, who dropped out under the pretext of an illness.

The academy sent a letter saying: ” We wish for Franz’ full recovery,” and “Welcome to our school.” Maybe it’s because he dropped out of Kratier.

“Franz, you look better.”

“Hehehe, I guess it’s because I’ve been sleeping well lately.”

Franz grinned as if he had dimples in his chubby cheeks.

The fact that he no longer had to go to the Academy has made his shadow disappeare completly.

His body, which had been thin in the beginning, was starting to gain back the weight.

“You have put on some weight.”

“He, really? Come to think of it, the pants I was wearing didn’t fit, so I got a new pair. By the way, did you lose weight? Your cheeks are slanted and it’s dark under your eyes… Somehow you look a little ugly…”

“Shut up.”

It was only after a blow on the back of Franz’s head that he calmed down a little.

Nevertheless, Franz smiled as if he was happy.

“It’s so nice not to go to the Academy.”

On the contrary, my complexion gradually became haggard. I spent three years as a nobleman, and now I’m a student at the Kratier Academy.

I wake up early every morning, take classes, do assignments, and share a room with cadets who I am not even close to.

In short, I was forced to live a regular life at a boarding school. I’m already missing my centipede life.

“I don’t want to go. I said I’d go first, but I don’t want to go!”

I fell on the couch and started to tear out my hair.

I don’t want to go, I don’t want to go! Dormitory are a no-go!

Then Franz looked out the window and shouted: “Older sister, look at the uniform in Kratier!”

He accepted the package from Kratier Academy in my stead. In the box, there was my uniform for the Kratier Academy.

When I saw my younger brother’s face saying “I’m so happy that I’m going to die because I’ve gained so much weight,” I had enough. Who was responsible for all of this?

“Kratier’s original female uniform is pretty. Look at this, sister!”

“Salt disease, green algae latte.”

“Green tide… What?”

“Nothing.”

“Hahaha, my sister sometimes says things I can’t understand.”

No matter what Franz said, the green uniform was not pretty in my eyes. It actually sucks.

The Kratier Academy has provided uniforms for all the students, from designer to long skirt. The skirt is coming close to my ankles. In addition, the color was reminiscent of the algae in the photosynthesizing cloth.

Pushing my uniform into one corner, I looked onto another letter in Franz’s hand.

“What is the letter?”

When I pointed to the letter, Franz only identified the sender of the envelope in his hand.

“This? It’s from Ritaus hyung*.”

Franz smiled brightly at the letter.

“What?” I jumped off my seat at the name of Ritaus, which came out of Franz’s mouth.

I completely forgot. The existence of Ritaus Aizar! That dangerous man!

“He just heard about me dropping out of the Academy and wants to visit our house next weekend.”

My head swung reflexively. No, no, no!

“Never! Don’t let him come, don’t invite him!”

I hated it so much that I rolled up to my feet. I’d look like the crazy lunatic of the neighborhood.

Franz looked at me with wonder if I was this offended, while showing strong rejection.

“Sister.”

Yeah, I know this older sister looks like a crazy person. But… .

“Sir Ritaus…”

Ritaus Aizar XVI.

He is the eldest son of Count Aizar and is a student at the Kratier Academy, who has just finished writing an article, and is Franz’s hyung and roommate.

“…is your fiancé.”

It’s my fiancé that the adults decided on.

“Older sister, hyung is a good person. It would have been hard for me to withstand at the Academy if it were not for him.”

The guy who has a crush on my brother.

“That is what a black heart is to you…”

“What?”

I couldn’t finish the last word. The tips of my fingers slowly cooled down.

‘How can all the men in this world tell you that you are having a hard time?’ **

Franz doesn’t know that.

This is the world of the BL manhwa ‘The Mira of Magic’*** and my little brother is destined to be abused by many men in the future.
