Dylan Kyle Lindberg is the son of the Prime Minister in this realm. He is known to be innocent and warm, that surely reflects his appearance. He is pure-hearted and kind. Although in the game, he grew up being alone. He would usually spend his time alone in the library. He's usually ignored by others because he doesn't stand out that much. He wasn't bullied because of his status; he is just always left alone. However, things changed when he met the MC.

His line would be, "I'll always be there if you need someone to talk to. I will try my best not to hold you down."

In his route, Violet died because she was sentenced to death under the crime of attempted murder towards Dylan and the MC.

Dylan is a year younger than me and he is smaller than Alyn and Luke. To me, he is like a little brother that I always wanted to have.

Back to the party, he is shy and everything but he still greeted me, and for me that was sweet.

"Thank you," I said as I smiled at him.

He shyly looked away, and he looks like he wanted to say something and leave afterward. But before he can say any excuse to leave, I offered him my plate filled with the pastries I brought with me. "Do you want some?"

He turned to look at me. He is having a hard time responding but he answered me anyway. "I-Is that okay?"

I grinned happily, "Why of course! They're really delicious! You should try the cream puffs, they're amazing!". Sharing is caring after all.

I could see how anxious he is but that couldn't be helped. He is always alone so being friendly seems hard to figure out for him. He is socially awkward but I can understand him. If I were in his shoes, I would feel the same. Dylan is so cute though. He looks like a puppy and I would definitely love patting his head! He could ask anything and I will gladly give everything to him.

He hesitated at first before he reached out and took a piece of cream puff. His movements were slow and stiff but I patiently watched him as he ate it.

I noticed his eyes sparkle upon tasting it which made me widen my smile. "Delicious, right?".

He nodded his head and his lips finally curled upward for a smile. DAMN! He's so cute!

"It is unfair for you to know me and me not to know you. So can you tell me your name?" I should act like I don't know him.

He looked at me and he shyly looked down. "D-Dylan... D-Dylan Kyle Lindberg.."

I took a piece of cupcake from the plate and gestured giving it to him again, "Well then Sir Dylan, let's be friends!"

He seems to want a friend too so he did not abruptly decline my friendship. Instead, he took his time thinking.

I'll ask him if I can call him little brother in exchange for him allowing him to call me big sister once he agrees to be my friend!

"I would definitely love to be your friend, can we become one?" I asked once again as I offered him the cupcake I was holding once again, hoping it will be a successful bribe to him and he would let me be his friend.

"I-I..." He looked away shyly before he turned his head to me once again, this time he was looking at the cupcake I'm holding. Eye-contact is obviously very hard for him. Yeah, talk to the cupcake.

I need to befriend Dylan. If we're friends, that will change something in the game's plot as well.

He reached out and took it the cupcake from me and his shoulders finally relaxed, "O-okay..."

"Great! And since I am older than you, you can call me big sister!"

However, the statement seems to have surprised the lad. And all of a sudden, as soon as I said those words, I suddenly felt a pinch on my cheek.

Heeeeeeey! That hurts!

"You're going too far, my dear sister."

When I looked at the suspect, it happened to be Luke. He flashed a smile before he pulled away from his hand.

Dylan and I turned our heads to look at him and I pouted while I rub my cheek lightly. "I'm not. What brought you here? And don't scare the little guy like that. You're intimidating him."

He chuckled before he turned to Dylan. "My name is Luke Eliott Trancy, please ignore what Violet just said."

I can see how Dylan's shoulders became tensed once again. I quickly turned to face Luke. "Brother! You are the one scaring him!"

"Ah, I apologize if that didn't come out well." Luke smiled at Dylan, trying to relax him even a little bit. "But I am glad that this troublesome sister of mine finally found a friend. Please take care of her and just tell me if she suddenly gave you a problem."

"Hey!" That's totally rude!

I was about to say something when I suddenly heard a soft laugh. I turned my head and I was surprised that Dylan was the one who actually laughed. Apart from that, everything seems to have brightened up as if glitters suddenly appeared, complementing his adorable face.

It took time when he finally noticed Luke and my stares, he instantly became flushed. I grinned happily at him.

----

After my birthday, Dylan and I would usually exchange letters. I would tell him about the books I read and we discuss it in the letters. But there was one day where I told him that I wouldn't be able to send him letters for the following days since I would be going to the summer villa of our family. Father finally had a month off from his work and he wanted to spend it there with us. The young man understood and he lets me enjoy my moment with my father.

I entered the carriage and sat beside the window. Luke followed and sat beside me.

"Do you think daddy will really come?" I asked him as I looked at him.

"He will. He won't be traveling with us today but he will meet us there."

According to the maids, the summer villa of our family is beside the seaside that's why I'm kind of excited going there~ Nature is my passion.

----

As we travel, I rested my head on Luke's shoulder. My eyes were closed but I am fully awake. This was our second day traveling, we still haven't reached the place and the sun was already setting outside. The carriage suddenly stopped which made me open my eyes and wonder what happened. I looked at Luke and asked, "Are we already here?"

He slightly slid the curtain to look outside, but he seems troubled when he saw what's going on.

"No, we haven't reached yet..."

Then why did we stop? I sat straight and was about to look out of the window when the carriage's door was opened.

"Ooooohh would you look at this! We hit a jackpot! There's a beautiful, richy-looking little girl and a handsome boy here! Nobles will definitely want you guys! Talk about the money we could earn from you!" the man shouted after he opened the door.

That's when I realized that we had been ambushed by bandits, judging by the way he looked and talked. He looked pretty dirty as he was holding a knife in his hand. Even if I'm inside my dream, I felt terrified upon seeing how creepy his face was. I can smell danger as I instantly held Luke's arm. "Luke…"

"I won't let them touch you, don't worry." He whispered, trying to comfort me.

"Both of you! Come out if you don't want to be hurt!" The creepy man shouted at us.

I moved closer to Luke and was hesitant to obey but when I heard Luke say "Follow him." I looked at him as if pondering upon his order.

"Don't worry, I'm here." He gave me a reassuring smile before he decided to go out of the carriage first. I followed him afterward and when I stood beside him, he held my hand tight.

The picture I saw after I came down was horrible. The knights that traveled with us are all on the ground, either bleeding or dead. There was so much blood and the tragedy was on us given that my people were outnumbered. The bandits around us were rummaging our stuff and stealing the items they saw valuable.

The man reached out to me as if pretending to be kind. "Come here, little girl. Let me look at you." But before he can grab a hold of my arm, Luke pulled me back behind him. These made the bandits turn their heads on him. "So we have a feisty boy here, don't we?"

They laughed after one of them said that.

"Boy, if you don't, you and the girl would become injured, you should just be obedient. It's not like you can actually overpower us, right? Now hand her in. Let's make things easy for both of us, okay?"

Luke was glaring at them. "I will never allow your filthy hands to touch her! You'll have to go through me first!

The creepy guy smirked. "Okay then, that will be pretty easy for us. Pretty girls sell at a higher price than boys anyway."

The creepy guy attacked Luke with his knife and I got scared for him. My heart raced fast as he attempts to attack us.

What should I do?! What should I do?!  If this goes on Luke will definitely get hurt!

Luke pushed me to the side of the carriage before he evaded the guy and picked up a sword from one of our dead knights. The other bandits watched amusingly and they didn't help their companion, believing he could take out my brother on his own.

The man charged Luke with his knife going forward.

Surprisingly, Luke seemed trained for battle. He dodged his repetitive stabs left and right before going under, punching the man on his stomach. The man was caught off-guard for a second before he rotated his knife on his hand, practically both showing off and getting ready at the same time. The man aggressively pursued Luke before the lad bit his finger and used his blood magic as his inherited weapon. Before they realized it, Luke already landed a critical hit on the man's stomach, making him fall weak to the ground.

The look on the other bandits suddenly went different, their amused face was now gone. They started to gang up on Luke, seeing him as a sudden threat. Some of the enemies do actually know magic and used it against him.

Luke had a hard time facing them all since they are no ordinary bandits. Based on their abilities, they are filled with rank B- to B rank magicians and fighters.

Luke is a Calamity level monster right now, he's like a B+ ranked magician. If the bandits were few, he could fight them off easily but they were many and they were all B- to B rank. They are not easy to defeat. I could see that he was almost at his limit.

I was at the side, being a useless girl. I was panicking internally, what can I do? I am just a C rank magician right now! But I want to help Luke! If only my legs won't stop shaking, I need to calm down!

I saw one of the bandits suddenly approach me while Luke was busy fighting. I took a step back but my back hit the cold surface of the carriage, my whole body shook in fear as I saw his dangerous look on me.

He grabbed my arm and dragged me toward his horse. "Let me go!" I tried pulling my arm free from him.

"I TOLD YOU NOT TO TOUCH HER!"

The guy holding my arm suddenly fell to the ground. Black flames were suddenly consuming his body. Dead.

I turned my head to look at Luke. Horns grew on his forehead and his blue eyes were now red. Black flames surrounded him and he was panting while he was looking angrily at the bandits.

"An ogre..."

"Ogre..."

"He'll definitely sell the highest! Men! Capture him!"

But before they can attack, Luke jumped out of the circle since the bandits were surrounding him. He landed in front of me and he quickly carried me in his arms. I was still in a daze when he started running deep in the forest, I noticed the bandits following us from behind. I turned and stared at Luke's face.

Luke's ogre form is so beautiful.
