I Accidentally Saved The Male Lead’s Brother

Even when he was attacked by an assassin, Theo instinctively attacked and moved to the Lannia region.

 

Again, the moment the fire started, Theo may have instinctively used protective magic. If he didn’t, it was likely that he would barely survive in these flames.

 

However, she didn’t know how long a child’s mana could last in the midst of these flames.

 

Moreover, even if he holds out, Theo will weep bitterly for Charlotte and Carcel in the blazing fire all around.

 

Perhaps it was more likely that his life would be in danger due to the fluctuating mana before the protective magic ran out.

 

So, I must go in.

 

Charlotte cruelly ignored Emma’s touch and tried to jump inside. Then she felt someone grab her arm from behind.

 

Did Emma catch me again? She tried to pull her arm really hard this time but unlike Emma, she couldn’t pull her arm back due to brute force.

 

Soon after, an angry voice came from behind her.

 

“What are you trying to do now ?”

 

It was Carcel’s voice. Charlotte who looked back and was going to shout that Theo was inside couldn’t say anything because of the expression on his face.

 

This was because Carcel had an angry face like never before and Ahin stood behind him.

 

Charlotte was overwhelmed by Carcel’s intimidating momentum and screamed out loud.

 

“Carcel, Theo! Theo’s in!”

 

“So I hastily brought Sir Ahin. Sir Ahin, hurry up and put out the flames.”

 

“Yes, right away.”

 

Ahin approached the door and used magic. Meanwhile, Carcel pressed Charlotte as if he was interrogating her.

 

“Why were you recklessly trying to jump in?”

 

“I told you! Theo’s in!”

 

“Didn’t I tell you? Don’t try to give up your life because of Theo from now on!”

 

“How can I think of Theo and me in this dangerous situation!”

 

“Of course you must think, if anything bad happens to you, I…”

 

“What about you? What about you?” However, Charlotte could not hear Carcel’s voice. It was because of the words of Ahin who spoke nervously.

 

“Ah, I can’t put out the fire!”

 

Carcel had never been so angry before. Since the matter was related to Theo, he was sensitive.

 

“What are you talking about? What do you mean the fire does not go out?”

 

He couldn’t help but remember what had happened in the martial arts competition. Is Ahin really a spy? Is that why you’re pretending you can’t put out the fire again this time?

 

At the time when Carcel was about to catch Ahin like a prey and interrogate him, Ahin spoke again.

 

“It’s a fire made of magic.”

 

“… What?”

 

On an unexpected note, Carcel couldn’t find anything to ask for. Ahin looked nervous but calmly clarified the matter one by one.

 

“It’s not a natural fire, it’s a magic fire. So it can’t be put out with water, and blocking the air doesn’t stop it. One way is to use magic.”

 

He looked around and lowered his voice.

 

“I don’t know what happened, but it seems like the fire was set up by Mister Theo. I can’t use nullification magic with my skills….”

 

Because he’s Rosito. He seemed aware of the atmosphere around him and swallowed the words, but Charlotte and Carcel were able to easily guess the rest.

 

Charlotte commanded the servants in place of Carcel who was unable to think of anything else but Theo.

 

“Everyone, don’t stand like that and get out of the palace. Emma, you too!”

 

The staff started going down the stairs as if they were waiting for the floor.

 

Except for one person, Emma. She took Charlotte’s hand and cried.

 

“Madam, you should go too.”

 

“It’s okay, go.”

 

“I can’t go alone, miss!”

 

“Even so, it’s okay.”

 

Charlotte looked at Emma, who seemed unwilling to go alone at all, and then at the other servant who was staring at her. The servant nodded with a firm look and took Emma’s arm.

 

“Emma, you must listen to Miss.”

 

“Miss!”

 

Emma tried to pull her arm but she couldn’t overcome the strength of an adult man.

 

After clearing out while Emma is dragged away, the only people left in the hallway are Charlotte, Carcel, Ahin and Robert.

 

Although there was no one present, Carcel lowered his voice in anticipation.

 

“What do we do if you can’t open the door?”

 

He wasn’t angry at Ahin, but anger was mixed in his voice. Ahin quickly responded in cold sweat.

 

“My teacher can solve it.”

 

“Sir Randro has been out for a while to investigate. I have contacted him to come back but it will take a while for him to get back here.”

 

“If this fire was lit by Master Theo himself, then they will be safe. He will be able to hold out until my teacher returns.”

 

“No, it will be too late.”

 

Charlotte intervened between the two.

 

“Even if he’s fine, Theo will be very afraid. He’s a fire so we don’t know when his mana will rise again.”

 

She looked directly at Carcel and said bluntly.

 

“I can do it!”

 

No, she was actually acting brave. Even now her hand was trembling as she said that.

 

“Didn’t you see it in a martial arts tournament? I can use dispelling magic. It’s not just dispelling magic, it’s magic that cuts off mana.I can dispel Theo’s magic.”

 

“No, no! It’s dangerous! It’s not just blowing out a candle!”

 

Ahin stops her, but Charlotte looked at him and spooks plainly.

 

“I won’t quite put out the fire. I’ll go in until Sir Randro arrives, and I’ll take Theo out.”

 

“Impossible .”

 

“It is possible. If you just put out the fire around me, I can go in and out. I can do this.”

 

“If Miss Fails, you will be seriously burned! In the worst case, you may die. It will be safe, Miss, so please wait.”

 

Charlotte turned her gaze away from Ahin and looked at Carcel. Until then, he did not confirm or deny. As if frustrated, Ahin urged him.

 

“Duke, what are you doing not stopping Miss!”

 

However, he didn’t say anything. He looked at Charlotte with a complicated look.

 

Charlotte understood his heart completely.

 

Theo, the only one left of the family, is now in that fire. Ahin said the baby would be safe because the fire was set by Theo himself, but that was only an assumption. Theo may not be safe now.

 

Even if he wasn’t hurt, he would be trembling with fear, Charlotte said. It was a cruel ordeal for a child of only four years old. It wouldn’t be enough to push Charlotte back to save Theo. From the attitude he’d shown so far, Carcel took an interest in Charlotte.

 

It was obvious even if it wasn’t as much as Theo that Charlotte is so important in his life that he can’t push her there to take responsibility.

 

He wouldn’t be able to stop her quickly because he was also worried about Theo.

 

All he could do was hold her hand gently as if he didn’t want her to go.

 

So, in order not to make difficult decisions and not get his heart hurt, she had no choice but to go in alone.

 

Charlotte carefully removed his hand.

 

“Don’t worry .”

 

“………”

 

“Don’t you trust me ?”

 

What is this silly sentence? Look like a bad wife who seduces an innocent young man.

 

Charlotte added with a smirk.

 

“Theo must be crying. I have to go.”

 

She is unable to hear his voice but inside Charlotte’s head, there are hallucinations of Theo’s voice shouting “Brother! Sister!” .

 

Perhaps the cowardly Theo is now in tears.

 

“but ….”

 

“I’ve trained a lot, even if I can’t put out this fire at once, I can come in and save Theo. And you saw me in a martial arts competition. I’m a stronger person than you think.”

 

She deliberately pretended to be arrogant to assuage Carcel’s concerns.

 

“So, I’ll be back. Even while we’re arguing like this, Theo’s inside. We don’t have time for this. I have to go quickly.”

 

“If so…”

 

Carcel struggled to open his mouth.

 

“I’ll go with you .”

 

Charlotte opened her eyes wide in surprise.

 

“What? It’s impossible, I can’t even protect you.”

 

But he did not listen to Charlotte and poured water from the bucket over his head.

 

Robert, who had been watching, returned with a blanket from another room after reflecting. He dipped it in the water and handed it to Carcel.

 

Charlotte screamed in terror.

 

“You must stop him!”

 

“Once the master has made up his mind, no one can stop him.”

 

It was like he was saying he wouldn’t stop even if Charlotte told him. Carcel placed a wet blanket over Charlotte.

 

“Can you really do it?”

 

Charlotte couldn’t stop him anymore. Instead of stopping him, she nodded.

 

“Yes I can .”

 

“Then let’s go in.”

 

He grabbed Charlotte’s shoulders and slowly headed towards the door. The flames inside the door still swelled and radiated intense heat.

 

Charlotte frowned at the scorching heat on her face, then, one step at a time, gathered her mana into her outstretched hand in front of her.
