The Villainess Blooms Chapter 41

Chapter 41
Brothers

Glenn Lilyfall was deep in thought .

(Since it’s her, this surely isn’t over yet . )

The cause of his concern was his older sister, Veena .

Thinking back, how many times had he already arrived at that conclusion?

He has always looked down on his sister, but that girl was still a member of the Lilyfall family .

(Even if she’s worthless, she’s still the eldest daughter of the family . She won’t just let things lie . )

As someone who took great pride in his lineage, even if he didn’t want to acknowledge Veena as a person, he still had to acknowledge her bloodline .

(Where have you gone? I’ll kill her myself once I get my hands on her . But, she’s hard to find . )

He doesn’t think for a moment that he could lose . If they fight, he will definitely win . He’s confident .

(Hmph, you might not have much talent for magic, but you certainly have a knack for hiding . )

Her grades at the academy weren’t the only reason he looked down on his elder sister .

Another reason he thought Veena was worthless was because, despite being a member of the Lilyfall family, she had no singular sorcery of her own .

Of course, he hated her personally as well . But, it’s not unfair to say that the thing that sparked his disdain for her was his sister’s lack of a unique magical gift .

Glenn gazed at a map on the wall and thought to himself .

(No matter how much we searched around the capital, we couldn’t find her . Just which way did she go?)

Gazing at the map, his thoughts wandered . And, suddenly, there was a knock on the door .

(Who?)

Glenn lifted himself off the bed and opened the door . And was greeted by Abel .

“It’s been a while, hasn’t it Glenn?”

That face that could rival any girl’s, but that still belonged to a man, and that man was his older brother .

“…Onii-sama, it has been some time . It’s a rare thing for you to visit me . Can I help you with something?”

Glenn spoke without any affection .

“Even though it’s been so long since we last saw each other, you’re so cold to me, aren’t you? Do I really need a reason to come and see my cute little brother?”

Taking is elder brother’s words as mockery, Glenn grit his teeth .

He couldn’t stand this elder sibling of his either, though for entirely different reasons to Veena .

“You never do anything without a cause . What are you plotting this time?”

“I think my reputation is deeply unfair . I’m not planning anything in particular . But, I am really interested in that person . And so, I was hoping to figure a few things out . So I ran a few of my harmless experiments, nothing dangerous . That’s all . ”

That’s all . Certainly, for him, it wouldn’t be any big deal, but that could scarce apply to anyone else .

One time he caused a natural disaster, the other time he turned an entire city into a stage to conduct experiments on creating monsters .

The most heinous and brutal of all the Lilyfall family .

To say that about him is no exaggeration .

Glenn glared at Abel .

“You sure can say that calmly . Just how many people do you think have suffered and died because of you?”

“Don’t say such callous things . I have never had a subject of my experiments suffer before they die, I don’t have the time for that . ”

Abel said as if it were nothing .

“…Is that so . So, what are you really here for? I’m not buying that you came here just to say hello . ”

Despite his discomfort, Glenn managed to ask why Abel had visited .

“Fufu, that’s right . Of course, there’s something more . ”

As he said that, Abel snapped his fingers . And a figure that made Glenn’s hairs stand on end emerged from behind him .

It hundreds of footless legs like a centipede attached to a body that resembled a red snake and whilst its head was that of a wolf’s, there were countless human faces embedded into the length of it . It was a truly horrible thing to behold .

Glenn always thought it looked creepy and disgusting whenever he had to see it, but Veena never thought of it that way .

She called it cute .

Once again, Glenn couldn’t understand his sister .

Glenn took a step back .

Once again, Glenn couldn’t understand his sister .

Glenn took a step back .

“What are you planning to do, Onii-sama? Don’t tell me that father ordered you to…”

“It’s nothing like that . My little monster and I are here on mother’s orders . ”

Glenn looked perplexed .

“Mother’s orders…? For Onii-sama?”

Ever since Abel’s ‘experiments’ had come to light, he no longer stood in the public eye . He now acts from the shadows . But, he continued to experiment, and since he several times interrupted his mother’s plans as a result, and essentially became ostracized .

“Well, I don’t really understand it myself, but it’s all been very troublesome . I would be declining a direct order from her if I refused . And if she thinks I’m not useful, she might truly look to get rid of me in earnest . ”

Glenn thinks that only serves him right .

“Therefore, I have a request for you, dear younger brother . ”

Abel had a grin on his face . He hasn’t heard the request, but he has a good idea of what it is .

“Will you not fulfil mother’s intentions in my place?”

Glenn sighed, it was just as he expected .
