My Childhood Friends Are Trying To Kill Me

Chapter 177

***

At that moment, she felt like her blood was flowing upside down.

Your grandfather tried to stop herYour mother told him to leave them alone. I dont know if its because she doesnt remember I think shes having a hard time because shes from the royal family, and shes instinctive

She heard from her mother that her grandfather had explained it in advance.

But that was true.

Was she just going to wait and see?

I have to go right now.

Her clenched fists trembled. She was choked up and felt angry.

She thought that only the twins came

Why did Julianna and Ruth come here?

And she is begging my mom to go to the Imperial Castle with her?

Lelia hurried forward without knowing that her eyes were red.

To be honest, she hated Julianna and Ruth just as much as the twin princes.

Perhaps it was because she was in a garden away from the castle, the time taken to get to the castle felt too long. She started to run by the time she was almost reaching the castle.

Her friends followed her from behind and called out to her, but she couldnt hear their voices.

Lelia opened the gate and went up the stairs.

There was no need to go to the drawing room on the second floor. As soon as she climbed the stairs, she saw people gathered at the second floors hall.

The maids stood at a distance and watched with an anxious look.

When Lelia appeared, they hesitated before moving out of the way.

Lelia walked slowly, breathing heavily.

Other than her grandmother, all the members of her family were watching her mother with an uncomfortable look

In the middle, her mother stood, troubled, and the twin princes were in front of her.

She also saw Princess Julianna holding her mothers hand and Ruth standing behind her.

As soon as she saw them, she heard the sound of something popping and breaking within.

Lelia went straight up and pushed Princess Julianna and the princes, who were holding her mother, away.

It was a rough and hard push.

What is this?

The two princes seemed angry at the sudden push, but stopped after confirming that it was Lelia.

Le-Lelia?

Julianna called her name in a welcoming tone. How much did she cry? There were marks of tears rolling down her cheeks.

Lelias heart fluttered with anger. It was the first time she had ever felt this angry.

When she put strength in her eyes and stared at Julianna, Julianna spotted a momentary flash of resentment in those eyes.

Julianna returned it with a gentle look and grabbed Lelias hand.

Lelia, I Im asking you to do this. Lets go back to the Imperial Castle. Please? My father

Why are you looking for your father here?

Juliannas expression hardened upon hearing the cold voice.

It was so cold that Lelias mother, family, and friends that stood behind her, all had expressions of surprise.

Your father is in the Imperial Castle, so I would like to ask you, why are you here?

Lelia looked at the twin princes and Julianna.

She was so angry that it seemed like a fireball was sitting in her heart.

Julianna and the twin princes were bewildered at her anger .

In particular, Julianna asked her as if she was stunned.

You How can you do that? You made my father suffer like that! Its all your fault!

Julianna shouted and began to cry.

Her voice cracked as she spoke.

With all her might, she tried to express her anger and resentment she had against Lelia.

Its all because of you! Because of you, my father!

Julianna, calm down.

Ruth stopped Julianna before she could hit Lelias shoulder with her fist.

Let go of me! How can she do that to my father, while shes pretending to be the only victim?! Are you that happy to be alone in your mothers arms?

Julianna

Please let go of me. Its all because of her! All that has happened to my father!

Lelias expression was distorted.

Emperor Perseus, what?

What happened to him?

She almost asked impulsively, but she held it in.

Honestly, she didnt want to know.

At that time, Cedric, who had been silent, spoke in a frustrated tone of voice.

Lelia, I dont blame you for what happened to our father. But Its not like youre completely blameless.

So we should take our mother to the Imperial Castle. If we want our father to recover, we need to take our mom.

Yeah, she needs to go with us

Sigh

Lelia snorted at the words of Cedric and Damien. She really wanted to burst into laughter at the absurdity of this situation.

What will you do with her? What exactly are you putting our mother in the Imperial Castle for? Would the empress stay silent?

When Lelia hit the nail on the head, Cedric and Damien were rendered speechless and were unable to refute her words.

The princes did not seem to have given it any thought.

Like idiots.

Hah, how dare you speak of my mother?

Julianna staggered in anger.

Lelia ignored her and asked Cedric and Damien again.

Your father has nothing to do with me now. He promised to never come again and left forever. So until my mothers memory comes back, you guys

You dont even have memories of your mother!

Damien, who was listening to Lelia, shouted.

Unlike Cedric, who tried to keep his calm, he seemed to have no intentions of holding back his anger.

Damien shouted with malice.

We missed her more than you did! You dont even have any memories of her! You dont even have the right! Were Were more for her!

Damien!

Grandfather yelled at Damien loudly.

Nevertheless, Damiens look of resentment toward Lelia did not abate.

Lelia felt like she was hit in the back of her head by a big hammer.

How could he say that like its nothing How could he

Still

Lelia muttered with an empty voice. Everyone looked at her without making a sound.

But you guys were together

.

Ive been robbed by my uncle since I was young I was deprived of everything, I had nothing, but you guys had everything. Youve always been with your family

It was her innermost thoughts that she had never spoken of.

The memories of living in the Imperial castle were still vivid. She watched them from afar, thinking about what she should fill her stomach with.

Bright smiles and laughter.

It was typical of a happy and harmonious family.

She tried not to get hurt whenever she saw them, but the truth was, she was shaken.

Deprivation, helplessness, envy, jealousy. All kinds of dark emotions came flooding in like a tsunami, and at the end, nothing remained. Even those negative feelings were swept away as if she didnt deserve them.

It was like looting.

Please stop taking her from me and go back. Ill send her to you when my mothers memories come back. Please

As if begging, Lelia looked at the two princes and said with a hollow voice.

They couldnt say anything.

Please Please go Please.

Tears dripped down from Lelias eyes as she was holding back.

Lelia suddenly thought of something and asked.

Would you do me this favor if I knelt down like I did when I was young?

What!

Cedric and Damiens expressions were distorted.

Juliannas eyes widened as she took a step back.

Lelia continued to talk while looking at them.

Dont you remember? If you want, Ill kneel down and bow with my head on the floor just like I did then. Even if its for hundreds of times, Ill apologize for nothing.

Damien looked at Cedric as if he didnt understand what she was saying.

They didnt seem to remember.

It was a terrible memory for Lelia, but to them, it wasnt important enough to remember.

At that moment, Julianna muttered as if she remembered something.

At that time At that time, it was just.

Cedric also mumbled at the sudden realization.

At that time, we were so young, we were just joking

Are you kidding me?

When Lelia asked back, he couldnt answer.

Finally, Damien frowned as if he remembered belatedly.

But Haah!

He said with a despondent laugh.

Are you really doing this now? Back then, we were younger! Then, I didnt know you were my younger sister! And you pushed Julianna first!

I thought you were the daughter of Princess Iris, so it would be obvious that well make you do that! You hurt Julianna. You expected us to stay still? Its not a big deal to kneel down and say sorry

Damien

Cedric tried to stop him, but Damien laughed even louder.

If not, was it because we took away your beggar-like place? You ran away and met your grandfather. Ever since then, youve been able to live comfortably until now! How dare you monopolize our mom? Do you know how much we missed her?

Everyone who was watching had hardened expressions.

It was easy for everyone to picture the humiliation that young Lelia had to go through.

The maids present at the scene were restless. They felt like theyve heard something they shouldnt know.

Most of the maids worked in the castle for a long time, so they remembered Lelia when she first arrived at the Superions castle.

She was so small and skinny that she looked like a pitiful child. They felt sorry for the skinny kid.

However, what made the child pitiful was not her skinny body, but her expression.

A face that was devoid of life.

What sort of harsh experiences the child must have gone through?

The expressions she made easily made their hearts collapse.

They finally knew the reason.

They said that they knew everything about her since she was young, but they couldnt have guessed that she experienced something so terrible.

It must have been such a dark time.

She even knelt down in front of Julianna for hurting her.

The maids looked at the princes and Julianna with resentment.

Oh my god.

Damien noticed peoples gazes at him. He spat out a small swear word as if he was dying of resentment.

It was then.

Who, who knelt down in front of Julianna Placed her forehead on the floor You made her do that?

Duke Superion muttered in a trembling voice.

Anger could be detected at the end of his speech.

Everyone flinched at the spirit of the old man who still spoke like a tiger.

The Duke walked slowly and stood in front of Cedric and Damien. Then, he looked at Julianna standing next to them.

Who, and in front of whom?
