The Precious Sister of The Villainous Grand Duke

Although I spoke triumphantly, Hella was comparably strong to Asmodeus and Vassago.

'Is it because she ate all of Vassago's power?'

It would have been better if her aura was as disgusting at Baal's, but Hella's gray aura made me want to vomit just by looking at it.

"You're all talk and no bite."

Hella noticed me being taken aback and curled her lips.

I sat down as my vision doubled and clenched my fists when I sensed Hella approaching.

She had Charlotte's face but was wearing Hella's expression, she looked like a completely different person.

'I'm scared.'

She reached out to me without hesitation, but before her hand could touch me, a black shadow fell over us.

"Dietrich!"

Why did he even step forward when he's already having a hard time standing up?

"I'm fine so don't come."

I shouted urgently, but as if he couldn't hear my voice, he twisted his wrist and swung his sword.

"What pathetic efforts for rats."

Hella laughed at us and twisted her lips.

"Even the sword you have in your hand is mine, isn't it?"

"Right."

Dietrich made a big downward motion as if he was really handing over the sword.

His strength was so strong that the piles of stones underneath were crushed and turned to dust.

"You cowardly–!"

As if he had turned them into powder deliberately, Dietrich kicked the dust and clouded Hella's vision.

"Ugh."

Hella, who criticized Dietrich's cowardice, tightly closed her eyes. Not losing the opportunity, Dietrich kicked the ground and stepped out.

"It's your sword, so I'll give it back."

Right after, Dietrich thrust the black sword into her chest when she was in a flustered state.

'Heavens.'

The moment Dietrich pierced Hella's chest with the sword, I witnessed him raise the corner of his lips.

'He's really like a villain.'

However, whether you're cursed for being cowardly or ridiculed for being underhanded, weren't you the best when you win?

I even cheered for Dietrich by clapping.

Fortunately, my efforts to 'darken' the holy sword seemed to have worked.

Hella, who was holding the holy sword in her arms which was contrary to her essence, leaned down in agony.

"How dare, how dare you…..!"

Hella raised her head as she let out a roar in a hoarse voice.

"You insects!"

"Hiik."

Her face that was distorted was no longer Charlotte's. Scales like that of an insect started sprouting and covering her beginning from her face.

Noticing my fright, Dietrich quickly approached me and hid me behind his back.

I gripped his arm and poked my head out.

"......Does Baal's true appearance also look like that?"

"I don't know. I've never seen it either."

"Should we just run away?"

In her human form, I was confident that we would win if we held out somehow, but looking at Hella who had changed into a giant cockroach made goosebumps rise all over my skin that I just wanted to run away.

'Even if it's gross, isn't this too gross?'

No matter how well maintained it was, if one went in and out of the forest of withered roses every day and got used to insects, I'd still be frightened by a cockroach that seemed like its enormous head would touch the sky.

"I thought you said you'd tear it apart earlier," Dietrich smirked as he looked down at me sweeping my arms where goosebumps had risen.

"I said that when Hella was still using Charlotte's appearance!"

'By the way, what happened to Charlotte?'

If she realized that her body had turned into a bug, wouldn't that be a huge shock to her considering her personality?

"Anissa!"

'Huh?'

It wasn't a sound from Hella's end.

I narrowed my eyes, watching Hella scream as if she lost her reason, and looked around for the voice calling my name.

"Anissa!"

".......Hermann?"

For some reason, Hermann, who was riding a boat, had spread his arms wide in a heroic pose while looking for me.

'Isn't he embarrassed?'

I strongly wanted to ignore him because I was embarrassed just watching him but now was the time to borrow even a cat's hand.

"Here! I'm here!"

I jumped in place, telling Hermann where we were.

"So you were there!"

Hermann found me and jumped off the boat with a broad smile.

Dietrich's face contorted as he came close.

"Why are you calling that punk?"

I shrugged my shoulders as he questioned while gritting his teeth.

"We can run away while Hermann is blocking Hella."

Hermann was Hella's favorite kin.

'Even if Hella's true identity is a demon, there's no way she would kill her subordinate.'

Even if Hella had a wicked heart, Hermann wouldn't die easily since he's the main protagonist regarded as God's child.

I cold-heartedly thought of the usefulness of my real brother and gave him a huge smile when he approached me.

"Brother!"

"..........!"

Hermann and Dietrich's eyes widened simultaneously at the designation that popped out of my lips.

Particularly for Hermann, who already had round eyes, it really looked like his eyes were going to pop soon.

"What, what, what did you – what did you say just now?"

"I called you brother. You are my brother, right?"

Although we never lived together, it was true that he was my real brother who shared the same blood as me.

'Moreover, even after I lost my memory, we often bumped into each other so I think it had some effect, too.'

Even after I was completely erased from this world, he had chased after me so maybe he really wanted to help me.

'Now that I think about it like that, it's a bit touching.'

"Th-that's right! I am your brother!"

"Your voice is too loud. That bug demon is going to find us."

I pressed my index finger on Hermann's lips, which seemed to babble forever if I didn't stop him.

"I'm so-sorry."

He closed his mouth like a clam and quickly nodded his head.

"Why is that bastard your brother?"

Dietrich let out a dry laugh as if my conversation with Hermann was laughable.

"Duke, I could say the same to you. What relationship do you have with Anissa for you to cut in between us?"

Hermann countered Dietrich's argument as if he wouldn't lose.

I inserted myself in the middle of the two men fighting right in front of the enemy and clapped my hands.

"It's not the time for us to be fighting each other!"

"But that punk started it first…."

"Grand Duke, you're being rude to me…."

"Ahh, that's enough! Hermann, you see that bug?"

I cut between Hermann and Dietrich's words in one stroke and pointed my chin at Hella.

"There's no way I couldn't see that. It's so disgusting that my eyes hurt."

'No way?'

I wonder how he would react when he finds out that the bug was the 'Sun God' Hella which he had believed in all his life.

As I hesitated with my words, Dietrich put his arm around my shoulder and dragged me toward him before opening his mouth.

"That's Hella."

"What?"

"That bug is the one you're serving, Hella."

"Why are you telling me an unbelievable lie right now, Duke?"

Hermann firmly shook his head at Dietrich's words and looked at me.

It seemed like he wanted me to agree to his words but I couldn't and nodded my head.

"What Dietrich said wasn't a lie. That bug is 'Hella'. She isn't a Sun God but a demon."

"......That's not possible."

"Please feel her aura. You, her kin, would know."

Hermann closed his eyes at my suggestion and soon, bit his lips and looked back at the bug.

"......It seems to be Hella."

"Even so, can you help me?"

Hermann's face was greatly distorted with conflict.

He alternately looked at me and Dietrich, whose faces were white with exhaustion, and Hella's antennae, who regained her senses and started looking for us.

"Anissa, I vowed to Hella that I would do anything to get my lost sister back."

As if he had decided on something, he opened his mouth with determined eyes.

"Whatever it is, even if I ended up acting against her will."

"............"

I was unable to quickly answer Hermann who was sporting a serious expression.

'I guess I have to withdraw my plan to use him as bait and run away.'

It didn't seem humane to throw away someone who cared for me like this and run away with Dietrich.

"Thank you."

I was a person full of bad prejudice against my own sibling because of the memories of my past life.

That's why I kept rejecting Hermann, who kept on looking for me just because I was his sister.

'But Hermann was different from the people I considered my family.'

Maybe it was time that I acknowledged him. I stepped out of Dietrich's hand which was holding me firmly and grabbed Hermann's hand, as his eyes seemed to fill with tears.

Well, I tried to hold his hand. If Dietrich hadn't stepped in between us.

I sighed slightly as I looked up at Dietrich's broad back which obscured my view.

"Dietrich, move."

"I don't want to."

Without any thoughts of looking back at me, he snarled and warned Hermann.

"Get lost."

"Duke, Anissa told you to move!"

"I don't need your help so don't touch Anissa, Hermann Euclid."
