"Just go along that way."

【The Burgundians no longer believe you.】

[After all, compared to Jeanne, you are about the same age as her but too calm, just like Pinocchio, you are not trustworthy. ]

[They pushed you away from Jeanne and questioned the little girl.]

"Where on earth is it?!"

The leading Burgundian roared, seemingly having no intention of hiding his true nature.

Even though the person in front of him was just an eight-year-old girl.

Joan of Arc, who was usually cared for by her brother, had never encountered such a thing.

She was so frightened that she fell to the ground, frantically grabbing everything around her with her hands and shaking her head.

"I have no idea!"

"I really do not know!"

But the Burgundians will not let go of the target they have already identified as problematic.

"You little brat, you won't say it, right?"

"It seems that if I don't punch you a few times, you won't know what honesty is."

The leading man raised his fist.

But when he was about to beat Joan of Arc, he suddenly heard a muffled sound at the back of his head.

He subconsciously reached out and touched it, and saw a large area of ​​bright red.

is blood--

Just as the big man realized that he was hit by a stone, he heard a roar.

"Get away from my sister!"

The person who said this was none other than Ian who had just been pushed away.

At this moment, he has already climbed up from the ground.

Needless to say, this was now his attack.

The big man was angry.

He's just a kid, how dare he challenge me?

"You are looking for death, aren't you?"

He waved his fists, intending to beat this ignorant kid to death.

But the next moment, the big man found that he would never be able to do such a thing.

because--

His hands were burned off by the flames.

[The innate endless rage has been activated: you spew out extremely terrifying flames. 】

[You burned the big man's raised hand clean.]

【He screamed.】

[You reversed the situation in an instant.]

[The big men who had previously bullied you and Jeanne began to flee in all directions.]

[Someone shot a magic arrow at you.]

[But it's all in vain - your flames seem to be far more powerful than theirs.]

【Burning, exhausted. 】

[Your flames will burn all the Burgundians present to ashes.]

[You solved them in an extremely simple and crude way. ]

call--

call--

Ian gasped for breath.

To be honest, he had no idea why he was spewing out such terrible flames.

All I was thinking just now was "I must not let anyone else hurt Jeanne", but when I came to my senses, I saw the current scene.

Although in terms of the result, it is indeed a pretty perfect way of handling it.

but--

This will scare Joan of Arc, right?

Ian looked at his sister worriedly and found that she was also looking at him.

"..."

"..."

Wow.

Joan of Arc burst into tears.

Ian's heart broke when he heard the sound.

He hugged her, stroked her back gently, and comforted his sister.

"never mind."

"Brother has already taken care of everything."

"No one will be able to hurt my Jeanne."

They are obviously both eight-year-old children, but their performances at this moment are completely different.

[You comforted Jeanne for a long time. ]

【She finally regained her composure.】

Joan of Arc picked up the corner of Ian's clothes and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Her body was still shaking and she looked frightened.

"Brother...are those the Burgundians?"

"Yeah." Ian nodded, "Now you know why I didn't let you out, right?"

"sorry!"

Joan of Arc apologized very sincerely.

"I should have realized this sooner!"

Ian sighed.

"Forget it, it's come to this, there's no point in saying more."

"..."

Jeanne raised her head and looked at her brother cautiously.

"That--"

"Can I ask my brother a question?"

Although he knew more or less what Jeanne was going to ask, Ian nodded anyway.

"what is the problem?"

"Why does my brother breathe fire?"

"..."

Ian was silent for a while before he answered:

"Do you find it scary?"

"If that's the case... I'll try to stay away from you in the future so that you don't get scared."

"Never!"

Zhen pulled Ian's hand.

"I know my brother spit out that kind of fire to protect me."

"I... don't feel scared at all!"

"Really?" Ian touched Jeanne's head, "That's great."

"I thought Jeanne would be scared."

"but--"

"You want to know how I did it... I actually don't know."

"Oh, that's how it is!"

Jeanne smiled brightly, not doubting Ian's words at all.

"Then let's ask father when we get back! He will definitely know what's going on!"

"...Aren't you afraid that our father will scold us?"

"It doesn't matter! Brother will take all the responsibility anyway, right?"

"...You guy."

Ian looked at his sister, feeling helpless for a moment.

191. Joan of Arc's reliance on her brother/Dragon Pendant/Family changes (4k)

[You and Jeanne return to the mansion.]

【Father is very angry about you sneaking out.】

He didn't give you any chance to explain.

[He picked up the whip, ready to teach you a lesson for being a brother but indulging your stepsister.]

Snapped--!

Snapped--!

Snapped--!

The whip hit Ian's body again and again, making a crisp and loud sound.

The boy, knowing he was in the wrong, didn't say a word. He just gritted his teeth and silently endured the beating from his father.

Even though he had just used fire to burn a group of Burgundians to ashes a moment ago.

but--

Although Ian could bear it, Joan of Arc couldn't.

She knew that she was the real culprit.

She thought her father would just give her a few simple words of advice, but she didn't expect him to resort to violence.

Joan of Arc knelt in front of her father and begged.

"Don't fight again!"

"If this continues, my brother will be beaten to death!"

"..."

[As the most favored daughter, Joan of Arc's words were very effective on her father. ]

[The middle-aged man who was furiously whipping you just a moment ago gradually calmed down because of his daughter's words.]

【He sat down on the chair, breathing heavily. 】

【And Jeanne took this opportunity to take you out of the room. 】
