Chapter 76. Testing And Trial, Part XVII

"Oscar?"

Isis called Oscar who bit his lips without an answer and was lost in thought. She looked at him like she didn't know why he looked like that. Then suddenly, she could recall where she had seen that face. The look on Mielle's face that she had seen just before...

"Oscar, you... no way...!"

She couldn't put her own hypothesis out of her mouth.

'That rumor was real...!'

When she had first heard the rumor through her maid, she had flattered but had not gotten angry. She and her brother were noble-blooded people which a daughter of a prostitute couldn't even look up at. So she hadn't even dreamed that her brother would be interested in the prostitute's daughter.

Isis shook her hand and drank the tea in front of her. She was thirsty enough to keep her thirst going. And she fiercely looked against Oscar. She was so shocked and distressed, but she still resented her brother who was totally bewitched by that bitch.

After all, Isis, who couldn't stand it, got up from her seat and slapped Oscar on the cheek. After being slapped defenseless, he looked up at Isis, unable to recover his surprised face.

"You're going to ruin our family!"

"Sister..."

"How could the rumor be true! You'll still say you're the heir to the Frederic family!?"

"I'm..."

"You'll have to watch your sister be humiliated! Uh? How, you!"

As her sister let out her pent-up anger, Oscar was confused.

'I... what the hell...!'

Then he realized the identity of his emotions he had just felt as he had recalled Aria. 'Why did I love Aria, not Mielle?' And he had been thinking about her for so many nights, but he couldn't realize what it was like to him.

'Why, why didn't I notice it when this mind was a little bit smaller?' At her presence, which had grown so large that it had become a part of his daily life, he was filled with regret.

Isis wrapped her head, looking at it because it was all revealed on his face.

"... you're a smart kid, so I trust you'll end it with your heart."

She didn't mean to believe it. It was more like a threat to do so. If he didn't... he realized that she would certainly not let Aria go.

"Do you understand, Oscar?"

Isis hastened.

'If I don't answer right away, she will hurt Aria... why can't I say that I will do that?'

"Oscar...!"

Now Isis's call was more of a cry. She even clenched her fists, forgetting her prestige.

"If you keep coming out like that, you know what I'm going to do!"

Isis, who could no longer control her anger at his hesitant attitude, turned as if she would hurt Aria at any moment.

It was then. "Sister Isis!"

Oscar called Isis. Isis turned around, hoping that he would make up his mind. He stared at his sister with a distorted face from a distance, and he looked miserable and sad as if he had lost half his soul.
