The Sickly Youngest Member of the Villainous Family

Prologue

On a bleak evening, the windows of the historic Winchester mansion creaked eerily in the wind.
It was time for dinner with the whole family.

The candles that sat in the golden candelabra in the center of the table flickered.

In the center seat sat my father, Duke Ricardo Winchester, who was called the Dark King, and to the left were my brothers – the infamous villains Jin and Othello – sitting side by side.

And as always, I was on the right side of my father.

“Father, what is the meaning of what you just…?” I looked at him firmly and tried to verify that what I heard was correct, but no answer came back.

Only Jin and Othello’s cool gaze confirmed that I had not heard anything wrong.

That was right.

The Empire’s strongest villain, my father, Recardo Winchester, made a clear decision at dinner today.

Having been lost in thought for a long time, I belatedly came to my senses and sprang to my feet, opening my mouth to shout, “No, I can’t..! Please, take back that order!”

Startled at the sound of a knife being put down, I looked at Othello, who sat in front of me.

“How much does your treatment cost us each time? Shouldn’t you have this much?” Othello, pink hair and all, furrowed his brows and urged me.

“Hah…..but …that’s already being paid by the family…”

“Don’t be shameless.”

I wriggled with my hands at his fierce gaze.
I took a deep breath and prepared to protest again.
I couldn’t accept what they were saying as it was.

“Father and older brothers.
I don’t want anything more.
No matter how much I think about it, you are infinitely more…!”

“Sasha.” 

Jin, who had been sitting still, called my name quietly.

I flinched at the call of Winchester’s successor.

Jin Winchester’s sky blue hair looked particularly cool today, but that did not make it any better as he threatened me gently, with cold eyes.

“You’re still weak.
With a body that looks like it’s about to collapse….”

It was a voice full of compulsion.

“Wouldn’t it be difficult if you refused Father’s orders?”

Dark eyes were ordering me to accept my orders meekly.

Since earlier, Ricardo Winchester has not picked up the silverware.
There was a stifling silence at the table.

I had no choice but to open my mouth and reply quietly.

“……Cough.”

When my father’s words of handing an entire mine over to me came to mind again, I almost felt dizzy.
The rights of the Wilners mine, which was called a warehouse of all kinds of precious gems, were used to subsidize treatment costs in the future.

The Wilners mine was a mine with very high economic value among the mines owned by the family, to the point that everyone was paying attention to its operations.

Of the rare minerals and jewels mined at the Wilners mine, a piece of gold the size of a thumb would be more than enough for my doctor’s expenses.

’

‘But I got the whole mine?! Besides, I’m only ten years old!’

Yeah, my doctor didn’t matter in the first place.

I held the tableware with a slightly trembling hand and stared at the juicy steak in front of me.

And I started looking back at where this situation started.

Chapter 1

“Hwuaaah!” 

I was trying to argue with someone who was slapping my butt, but somehow a strange cry burst out of my mouth instead of words of protest.

Then, the dim surroundings suddenly became clear.

‘Wait……where am I?’

It was a spectacular medieval room that was completely contrary to the dark, cold asphalt road – the last thing I saw before I lost my mind.

The height of the ceiling was high enough to reach several meters, and women I saw for the first time surrounded me.

“Oh my God, you’re such a pretty girl.”

“I’ve never seen a baby with such fair skin.
Look at the green eyes.”

I could hear the sound of cutting something with scissors and the touch of wrapping my wet body with a warm cloth.

The sound of a woman breathing heavily, and a language that I could understand, even though it was not Korean, was clearly flowing out from among the women.

“I need to contact him right away.
……..He’s too much to leave his wife alone on this day.”

“Maya, don’t say that.
You know how busy he is with the manor these days.”

“Oh, but it’s the day you gave birth to a girl and you’re so happy.”

I tried to move my body, but my short limbs betrayed my will and moved arbitrarily.

“Maya”

“I’m sorry.
I’m upset for no reason….”

It felt strange as if the body was mine but not mine.

Meanwhile, a maid named Maya gave my wrapped up body to a beautiful, red-haired woman.

She looked tired after giving birth, but the woman was looking at me as if her eyes were looking at a very lovely being.

I just stared at the woman who gave birth to me in a daze.
She had red hair and blue eyes and had a face that was drenched in sweat.

“Baby…..He will name you.”

When I heard the word name, things from the past passed by in my mind.

‘I’ve been born again.’

On my way back from a hard night shift at my part time job, bad luck hit me and ran away.

When I opened my eyes, the explanation of the Grim Reaper, who was sweating profusely, was not within my expectations. 

’

He said he brought the wrong person with the same name, and he said he would give me a chance to live a new life instead because I couldn’t return to my original life.

In the typical reincarnation system, randomness was the principle.
However, if you were reincarnated into a world you already know, what opportunities could you have?

, which I read, was a fantasy novel for girls of all ages, a hit that appeared as a webtoon and even as a game.

I also enjoyed reading it like an omnivore, regardless of whether it was a ropan or a signboard.

‘You don’t know how much King Yeomra enjoys games based on this story.
Wealth……You’ll definitely be satisfied.
I’ll tell him and give you a lot of perks.’

Well, I have to accept that I can come back to life with good terms.

‘I can’t tell you who you will be born as because of the rules of the underworld, but since you have lived a good life, you will surely be reincarnated with good conditions.’

Let’s briefly describe the story of , where the background is the Janut Empire.

The emperor of the empire is the legendary and symbolic Goryeo Mechius.
He exists only in mythology and does not actually rule.

The actual control of the empire lies in four families: Akada of the Land, Halo of the Water, Winchester of the Darkness, and Taylor of the Light.

And the protagonist is a boy named Evan Taylor, who will one day be the Duke of the Taylor Family.

Evan Taylor’s story is a brilliantly growing cider novel, which awakens him as an increasingly munchkin protagonist.
