I Accidentally Saved The Male Lead's Brother

Chapter 81

This was impossible. Charlotte has been practicing nullification magic to protect Theo.

‘Not nullification magic, but anyway…’

This force was needed to protect Theo.

“What if I keep using it?”

“As the thread of fate continues to receive shocks, the connections will loosen and eventually break.”

“and then …”

“Miss may die.”

“But I need this strength.”

Teresa nodded as if she understood.

“I know. Is it because of the kind young master?”

“………”

Charlotte refused to answer, I don’t know how much she knows about Theo but I can’t tell her that Theo is Rosito.

“It is best to avoid using it as much as possible.”

At this point, Charlotte realized that one day something might happen to her.

“But if you have to use a lot of energy due to unavoidable circumstances, please call me.”

“Understood .”

After saying those words, the Saintess got up. Charlotte grabbed her, and besides the Thread of Fate she had another question.

“Saint, has the culprit been caught in this crime? Did you know who was being targeted?”

I asked Teresa instead of Carcel because he didn’t seem like he was going to tell her.

For some reason, Carcel didn’t seem to want to talk about this issue.

“The perpetrator has not been arrested yet, and it was unclear who was targeted. The investigation is still underway.”

“okay .”

“But I think I can tell you one thing.”

Teresa’s voice became serious.

“Maybe neither the missus nor the duke knew, but I saw it clearly when I was somewhere else.”

“………”

“The last fireball was focused on the lady’s seat.”

“what?”

“I don’t know exactly who they were targeting, but I think they were targeting Duke Heinst.”

Charlotte’s mind went blank.

Were they targeting the Duke or Theo?

Like Teresa said, they weren’t able to tell exactly. However, she had a strong idea.

‘It’s Theo.’

If they were targeting Carcel, it wouldn’t be necessary to do so in a stadium where there were so many people and even the Crowned Prince and Saintess.

What they were looking for was Theo, who rarely left the palace.

They’ve done it several times already.

“Sister!”

As soon as Teresa left, Theo ran crying. The child’s eyes were swollen from crying.

Charlotte was startled and hugged Theo tightly as he jumped into her arms. Even after waking up from a nap, his little body was still hot as if his mana had been splashed out again.

“I hate you!”

Theo pursed his lips as he remembered that Charlotte had left him at the last minute.

But he quickly rubbed his face in Charlotte’s arms.

“No, Theo doesn’t hate sister! Theo missed sister! Theo was afraid!”

Theo’s pronunciation was more imprecise than usual as he was crying and talking.

Charlotte placed her forehead on Theo’s and patted his back.

“Sister is sorry. Were you afraid that sister and brother weren’t there?”

“Aung.”

“Theo, are you in pain?”

“I’m fine. Sister, are you okay?”

“Yeah, I’m fine. Let’s see if our Theo is all right.”

The attending physician must have taken the time to examine him, but I could not get relief until I saw him with my own eyes.

Charlotte rolled up Theo’s sleeves and pants to examine him, and lifted his clothes to examine his stomach as well.

It was fortunate for her that he didn’t appear to have major deformities from the outside. The only problem is that his forehead is boiling.

“It’s a relief because Theo wasn’t hurt anywhere.”

If you hug him, the fever will soon go away. When Charlotte embraced him, Theo rubbed his wet cheek against her breast.

At that moment Charlotte tried to tell him not to cry.

“Ah, ma’am, are you sure you’re alright?”

Emma, whose eyes were bulging like Theo’s, frowned a lot. Even before she heard Charlotte’s answer, she started crying a lot.

‘She is very worried.’

Charlotte patted the spot next to her. Emma crawled to her knees and sat down next to Charlotte.

Charlotte wiped Emma’s face with her sleeve. Then Emma, who had stopped crying, started crying again.

“Oh, I thought you were hurt.”

“Don’t cry, I’m fine.”

“Actually, I was so afraid that I might die. I haven’t been in a relationship yet. I can’t afford to buy a house. I can’t die like this. So, yeah.”

Emma shrugged.

“I can’t protect Miss, and I have caused Dame Celine so much trouble, I am really helpless.”

“No, it’s not. I didn’t do anything either.”

“Young Miss saved Master Theo, if it had been me, you would have just gone.”

“Emma, don’t cry.”

Theo patted Emma on the arm and looked at her with wide eyes. Emma cried again because of her guilt.

“I’m sorry, miss. If we have to choose who shall live, surely the youngest of us shall live, but I don’t think I can make concessions.”

“Don’t, Emma, it’s normal for everyone to do that.”

“But I was so taken aback when you collapsed, actually you must be scared too.”

Suddenly Charlotte, who was talking to Emma, felt something strange.

‘Why are you talking about just leaving Theo outside?’

Once Teresa met Charlotte, she thanked her for being able to calm the situation down.

She didn’t want Emma to thank her, but it was a bit strange that she didn’t say anything. Because of Emma’s character, she could be sure.

“Emma, what happened? I can’t remember anything.”

She responded steadily as Emma sobbed.

“I don’t know but they said the imperial magician used magic. So the fireball disappeared, the door opened and we were able to get out.”

Imperial Wizard?

“yes .”

not me ?

Charlotte blinked for a moment, then realized what was going on.

“Carcel kept it a secret.”

It would certainly have stirred up an uproar if it had been known that Charlotte, the Baron’s daughter, had calmed it down.

Moreover, if she made a mistake, it could be revealed that she was the right person, and Theo is Rosito.

So, outwardly, they seemed to have said that the Imperial Mage did it. Although Therese

I looked at Charlotte’s case and noticed.

“But Emma, what about the Duke? He was hit with a fireball instead of me. He said earlier that he was okay but is he really okay?”

“Uh .”

Emma didn’t know what to do and rolled her eyes.

“Emma, be honest with me.”

Then she said sadly.

“Right, he’s fine now. The sorcerer, Ahin, and the Saint healed him.”

Charlotte had to pick out the nuances of her words.

“right Now ?”

“This… Before treatment, the condition was a bit serious. He had serious burns on his back and shoulders.”

“He said he didn’t get hurt much.”

“Of course he lied because he was worried about the miss.”

“Yeah, I didn’t believe it in the first place.”

Charlotte shook her head slightly. Emma looked up and added softly.

“But he was treated right away, so it wouldn’t be so painful. Don’t worry, he’s absolutely fine now.”

“……….”

Emma changed the subject after seeing Charlotte’s serious expression.

“Actually, Dame Celine was injured while covering me. I feel very sorry but she is fine now after the treatment.”

“But I’m glad it ended like this, it was very tumultuous.”

Someone nodded to Charlotte’s head and muttered softly.

“By the way Emma, did you hear something about my brothers? A fire suddenly broke out during Issac’s match.”

“Oh, you don’t have to worry about them. The two masters actually sent a letter first. I couldn’t open it because it was a letter for my lady but I think they’re both safe.”

“That’s a relief.”

Charlotte swept her chest, and Theo signed in her arms.

“That’s a relief.”

“right ?”

“I want to see Jack brother and brother’s brother.”

“Yes, I missed them too.”

“By the way, miss.”

Emma took out the letters she had put in her pocket.

It’s been a day since the letter arrived.

Emma put a letter in Charlotte’s hand.

“I think it would be better to respond quickly, if I delay even more….”

“Yes, my brothers will go crazy.”
