Chapter 77 – A new hint about the family has been added (2)
Translator: SKAIS Editor: Dict Groiler
“Well of course, I couldn’t take care of my skin the way I used to outside prison, so I need to get as much beauty sleep as I can! I’m sure even the young prisoners would agree.”
I snorted.
“And why would I need that?”
“Why?” Sally looked at aghast, but I knew she was doing it on purpose, “Skin care exists even in prison, you know. After all, the skin is essential for both us won, and n.” she winked at , and I couldn’t help but laugh alongside her, before the laughter died down.
“But to assu what it is to be of youth, isn’t that like trying to win the favor of the won who went to sleep earlier as well?”
“Not really, you could say it’s more of a hunch.”
I left them to their conversation as I pulled out the stained handkerchief out of my pocket. They continued to converse for a while longer until they took more of my silence, and stopped to see what it was that had been troubling .
“What is it?” Baron asked a little irritated by my lack of attention.
“Oh you an this?” I asked cheekily, “I think it’s what they call a handkerchief.” I teased and Sally giggled with . Baron shot us an unamused glare, before he looked closer at the handkerchief I was holding...
“That handkerchief...” he muttered as he leaned in, “Was there a pattern? I think there was...Aha!”
He exclaid, making jump at his sudden excitent which made even more clueless to what he was seeing?
“I can’t believe this! Iana, is this the answer to the final question?” He asked , but I didn’t have an answer for him. I wasn’t even following their conversation earlier.
What I didn’t realize, of course, was they were asking about my family. I still did not have an answer though, but I might know soon enough.
If this did belong to my brother, then it would make sense that the crest did belong to the family I belong in, too. And who better to get my answers from than the people with ?
After all, it wouldn’t make much sense to assu he had been carrying sothing with the crest of a different family.
“Isn’t that Einte’s crest?”
“Oh, that’s right. I’ve seen it before!” Sally gasped as she clasped her hands.
“Well, Iana, are we right? Was it Einte’s? I’ve heard a lot about that place. I didn’t know you were an Einte, really!” She slapped on the arm, looking at with great anticipation.
Why didn’t they tell earlier?
Einte.
Co to think of it, Sally and Baron were the ones who helped think of candidates and helped speculate about my family.
What did they say about Einte again?
The masters of the east side gate.
It’s a family that has beco synonymous to many a great and revered Count, based mainly on its owned lands. I rembered it very clearly because it was a conversation to sort out candidates for my family.
“Isn’t that where the Golden Gate is?”
“Right. What a surprise.” Baron could not hide his surprised look as he touched his chin, seemingly in thought. “I didn’t think it was an ordinary family. I think that if you have the capability to see the prison head then you belong from a tougher family.”
A praise, though it was, Baron had an unpleasant expression on his face. Like sothing’s on his mind. Even Sally noticed as she tilted her head to make sure she was not imagining things by herself.
“What’s wrong with your face, Baron? Why is your expression like that?”
“No. No. It’s nothing special.” He scratched his chin slightly. “It feels like Iana’s burden to bear. Though for sure I expected it like there would be a great identity reveal.” He assured us, “Truly, nothing else is wrong just what my gut feeling was telling .”
“No, Einte is a great family, you know?”
“No, I know but.” Oh, Baron looked like an old man who couldn’t seem to make sense of what he knew before to what he knew now.
I smiled at him.
“Isn’t that just Baron’s scamr-sense?” I teased, trying to steer them off-topic. He then scrunched up his nose as his forehead creased.
“You can’t ignore a swindler’s instincts. Do you know how many tis my gut feeling saved my life?” He told us indignantly and proceeded to briefly list all his achievents. Most of the ti, he could’ve been caught and died, but he managed to cheat death and survive.
“Excuse , Baron. An ordinary person dies only once. They stop when they’re given another chance to live.” Sally interrupted as she shook her head in a motionless manner.
“Well, it’s like crying out for sothing more. That’s strange. Have you lost your senses?”
“That’s what it is, like my fashion sense dying.” Sally patted on the top of my prison uniform.
“I’m completely in prison.” He complains that if he goes out after wearing clothes like this, he would rather rip his eye out and then die.
“My fashion sense is like this. Do you think I’m alive with this fashion sense? Give it up.”
“Ugh.”
The two exchanged blow after blow of horrendous complints with each other, completely making new conversation of their own. And while they were busy at each other’s throats, I lowered down my gaze, once more, and looked at the handkerchief.
Einte.
That’s my family na.
I tried to recollect all my mories and searched in my head, but I couldn’t rember reading about that na at all. In other words, it was not ntioned in the book.
This was the Chaser’s subordinate family.
Which ant, I don’t know anything about them.
I may not be able to rember it, but it doesn’t matter as much as I can’t rember it. This was also very close to the information I had always wanted to know.
“Iana Einte” I told myself, trying out the na, as I felt the odd way it rolled off my tongue.
Mmm. So this is my na.
But why? Why was it that I’m afraid of sothing? I felt uncomfortable knowing what it was.
There was a saying that a na is an embodint of what one knows of it. The sa could be said right now with my family na.
It was much too unfamiliar for , perhaps that’s why it’s been a little off.
Soon, Sally turned to , talking my ear off and therefore my thoughts about my family didn’t last long.
“But Iana, where did you get that handkerchief?”
“What? Oh, yeah.” I automatically answered. And Sally frowned when I forgot to elaborate. Luckily, I’ve thought about the answer on the way here.
“Oh, was it from your brother, the one who sends you letters every ti?” Baron asked , and I nodded.
“Yes.” I answered him.
Sally was silent for a mont as we conversed.
“That’s strange...” Sally murmured softly, but her voice was so deep that I could feel it.
TLN: Hello everyone! So based on your comnts, I have decided to use ‘Oppa’ instead of ‘brother’. For consistency, I will be changing the word “brother” in the previous chapters from ti to ti.
