The Antagonist: The World Ends Theory
PROLOGUES

Right now, I am waiting for my father to return home from his duty at the border of the region while playing with dozens of dolls of mine. I've always stolen a look out the window, wondering if you've come home or not. I've asked my mother a few times about when I'm going home. And I'll definitely answer if you're going home, so just wait. It always is, until I get tired of asking.

If I mess up in my sister's room, I will definitely reprimand me because I made her room very messy. Despite reprimanding and grumbling, brother alone will clean up all my mess. Brother wouldn't ask the waiter for help if he could do it himself.

So, I can only wait for Dad in the room right now.

“Dad, hurry home. Where have you been all this time?”

I can only mumble to myself.

This year I reached eleven years old. Usually my whole family will be with me when that special day comes. But, it turns out that yesterday I couldn't get home from the border.

When will dad be home?

I took my hand and scribbled away the sheets of paper that I was supposed to fill with the manners of a noble girl from getting up early to going back to sleep. I'm ‘kan young, why need to learn it so soon? His teacher was friendly to me, but I knew he had a thick mask.

Bias, the Duke family is indeed quite targeted by people with status under him. I'm sick of the lies, but I can't do anything about them.

Being friends with noble children makes me feel like being arrogant and tall is not strange at all. That's why I interacted with them enough.

I don't want to grow up to be arrogant.

However, kindness and generosity sometimes turn to their owners as poison. They will use that goodness as they wish.

“Sister! What's up here?” I approached my brother who was in the doorway.

“Dad is on his way home. Want to wait?” My sister said that with a smile.

She was four years older than me, and because of our considerable age difference, big brother often spoiled me. Also, as the successor to the Duke title, big brother had already been given special training to have him ready early.

“Wah! Is it still long?” My toot.

“Dad is at the border, maybe soon. Besides dad riding a horse, brother rasa.”

Hngs? Looks like something's missing here.

“Didn't dad really work there? Why did you say you just got there?”

He looked awkward and tried to hide something. I know he's gonna lie, but I wouldn't believe it that easily. As great as humans lie, they will not be able to hide their physical reactions when lying.  I won't believe it!

However, instead of lying, sister threw her smile at me instead. Ah, maybe a daughter like me shouldn't know anything about the task that father is carrying now. All right, I'll be fine with this.

“Come brother! We wait for dad with mom too!” I pulled my brother's hand towards the main gate of the Duke Wayne residence.

When we got there, my mom was waiting. I do not think, even though they are old, but the harmony shown by father and mother does not diminish. When I grow up, I will look for someone like my father, to keep my family in harmony!

“Mother, is dad still a long time?” I stared into the distance at the large gate at the end of our residence.

Mom smiled as she looked at me, “Your father will be here any minute. He will come slower maybe.”

“Yah..” I look disappointed in my mother.

I hugged my mother and whined like a six-year-old. Big brother just kept staring at the gate, big brother might miss daddy too. After all, they were always together.

“Hng? Dad!”

When I was just starting a whining drama, Dad came home. I ran to my father in high spirits. However, there was a daughter who also came home with her father.

Who her?

The girl may be the same age or younger than me. He's got a snow-white mane and shiny sapphire eyes. That's an awesome physique. Even in manners lessons alone there was nothing as beautiful as her.

I held the girl's hand. And there I saw that his skin was very pale. The beauty she had was so harmonious with the starry sky tonight. His eyes are like stars. Really beautiful, I am sure when she grows up she will grow up to be a woman who looks so beautiful. Different from my golden eyes and brown hair. It's not what, I'm afraid dad was taken away from me. I really don't want that to happen.

Dad looked curiously at the girl as he pulled my hand as if beckoning.

“Alright, she is Clara Scoleths.”

The boy lowered his head a little sign of respect.

“From now on he will stay here. Hellen, now you have a friend.”

A fella? Am I really going to have it? This beautiful girl who will be my friend?

“Really?” I hid my deep pleasures.

“Sure.”

“Yeay!”

My mother and sister smiled when they saw me prancing around in pleasure. Then pulled the girl into my house.

“Welcome to our home, Clara! Uh, I can call you Clara ‘can I?”

The girl nodded.

God, how happy I was to have my first friend. I hope our friendship lasts forever.

- Hendrick POV

That girl named Clara and my sister passed me, it seems that Hellen was very happy with the existence of Clara Scoleths-Hng?

Did something happen before they came here?

Is this just my delusion?

When Clara Scoleths passed me, a little, just a little. I smell a pungent smell that I have often kissed while on missions to other regions. My five senses do have a high level of sensitivity. Especially my sense of taste, this I hid from my family. That's why I look like a picky person.

It smells fishy blood.

I'm sure my mother and sister didn't realize it because they weren't the ones who got used to it.  Anyway, I told you that the smell was very faint. What really happened before they came here?

“Come Hendrick.”

My mother came in after the two men, my father was still with me outside then invited me to come in.

It wouldn't be strange if the smell was smelled from my father. However, the girl is the main object of the smell of fishy blood. This girl is not as simple as I imagined.

“Good, dad.”

I walked behind my father still with a thousand questions. Should I keep an eye on that girl named Clara? The first impression was very suspicious to me.

- Author POV
