It was when Charlot Ferdia was five years old.
Charlot had one brother, one sister.
Among them, Elodie Ferdia, his sister two years older, was a bit of an oddity within the family.
Not special, just odd.
Up until the year Charlot turned five, the days he saw Elodie’s face could be counted on one hand.
Charlot and Yansi, along with Duke and Duchess Ferdia, stayed in the main mansion, but Elodie lived in an annex.
Because when they were young, they didn’t even have a meal together once a month, so there was even less chance to see her.
Charlot was always curious about his sister.
The people of Ferdia were uninterested in each other and had strong individualistic tendencies, so they didn’t talk about Elodie.
Charlot wished he had a friend.
But his family did not fulfill Charlot’s wish.
Just the mere existence of his parents, a kind but subtly distant brother, and the family servants who respectfully attended to him.
Occasionally attending gatherings with other young nobles, Charlot realized that his family environment was not ordinary.
One child whispered first.
“Our mom and dad kiss when they meet.”
“Oh! Our mom and dad too!”
As they all made a fuss about what they saw, Charlot simply sat and listened to the conversation.
He had never even seen his parents sitting side by side, let alone kissing.
Even at tea time, the two were usually sitting facing each other.
One child asked the continually quiet Charlot.
“Charl, what about your mom and dad?”
“Our mom and dad… don’t do that.”
“Don’t do that? Don’t kiss? Don’t even hold hands?”
“Yeah. Don’t hold hands.”
Charlot, a direct heir to one of the four great families, was a grand existence to the children of the gathering. Their parents had told them again and again to make a good impression on Charlot.
But the children who had been secretly envious of Charlot began to disparage him as soon as they found a point of weakness.
“Why are Charl’s mom and dad like that?”
“That’s strange!”
“Ahahahaha!”
Usually unable to say anything to him, the children, as if they had planned it, laughed all at once, and Charlot was very angry.
However, he couldn’t understand why he was angry.
One day, as Charlot was exploring the mansion alone, he overheard the servants’ conversation.
“It’s really disgusting. She looks pretty like her mother, but she never cries.”
“She doesn’t think she’s really Ferdia, does she?”
“How can she be Ferdia if she can’t even use her powers?”
Charlot narrowed his eyes as he eavesdropped.
‘Isn’t my sister, Ferdia?’
The servants’ conversation continued in the meantime.
“It wasn’t like His Grace and Her Grace were very close before, but it seems more distant since that bastard child came in.”
“Is that so? It does seem that way…”
“Anyway, that bastard child is the problem. She’s Ferdia’s disgrace.”
Bastard child.
It was a word he had heard for the first time.
‘Is it my sister’s fault that my parents are not close……?’
His sister, whom he had never even called as such.
He had never heard the servants’ voices when he was uninterested, but after that day, they started to sound clear.
Charlot learned why Elodie lived in the annex.
A woman who was not his mother had brought the child from outside, so she lived in the annex. He also heard that his parents’ relationship worsened after Elodie came to Ferdia.
Whether it was true or not didn’t matter. Young Charlot believed all the rumors floating among the servants.
Excluding education and training time, the people in the mansion didn’t care what Charlot did.
Wandering around the main mansion, Charlot impulsively moved his steps to the annex. Unexpectedly, he encountered Elodie, who was in the garden of the annex.
A lovely girl with pale platinum blonde hair and bright pink eyes was looking at Charlot with surprised eyes.
Instead of greeting him, his sister hesitated and backed away.
‘How dare she avoid me?’
A feeling of resentment welled up in Carlott’s heart. He opened his mouth to scold Elodie.
“Bastard.”
“Huh…?”
“Everyone says so. You’re a bastard.”
Elodie just blinked her eyes, not saying a word. It seemed to Carlott as if she was ignoring him, which made his mood even worse.
“A bastard is a dirty deal. You must be really filthy then!”
“I’m not filthy. I wash myself clean.”
“But you’re a bastard, aren’t you?”
“……”
“Go away, you bastard.”
Carlott’s small hand shoved Elodie’s shoulder.
“Ah!”
She slumped to the ground, though he hadn’t pushed her that hard.
“What’s this? Don’t pretend to be weak! You bastard!”
“I’m not pretending. Just a bit surprised.”
“Young Master!”
The maid who had been looking for the missing Carlott hurriedly ran over.
“Oh dear, Young Master. If you suddenly disappear like that, what am I to do? Let’s go back. You’re not supposed to be here.”
“I came because the bastard was here.”
“Yoyou shouldn’t say such things.”
The maid glanced at the fallen Elodie and then left her there as she took care of Carlott and returned to the mansion.
From then on, Carlott often visited the annex to lash out at Elodie.
