【Dimiris】The Lost Heir of Cyros

Summary: In the middle of the night, Beles was woken up by a car accident.Fortunately, she didn't like that apple tree very much...

:

Byleth first heard the voice of "Surtis" at the age of five."She" made the noise when Dad was busy with work and left her alone with nothing to do.She taught Beles tea party etiquette and even fell asleep next to Beles, but the nanny had never seen this person at all.When Byreth introduced Surtees to her father, her father's eyes widened and he immediately discussed this so-called "new friend" with the nanny.Since that conversation, her dad always listened briefly to the adventures she and Surtees had had together with a curious smile.Byleth later realized that everyone thought of Surtees as an "imaginary friend" and even when she was 16 years old Surtees had not disappeared, people used this to admonish her father. This kind of self-protection mechanism will be established by lonely and loveless children.Not long after that, Beles didn't talk about Surtis with anyone anymore, but his father knew that Surtis had never left, and that Surtis would be with her whenever he wanted, whispering in her ear.

Byleth first touched a gun at the age of eight.Her slender wrist couldn't last much longer than the heavy handle, and it turned out later that her father deliberately chose a gun that was difficult for a child of this age to use.Before loading the gun, her dad placed two cans and three bottles on the wooden fence behind their barn and patiently taught her how to hold the gun safely, how to aim it, and what to expect when she fired it.They practiced this over and over until Byleth could hit those five targets in one go.Every weekend, her dad would bring in a different gun, and Byreth would practice again until he was satisfied with Byreth's accuracy and proficiency with the gun.

Close combat didn't start until Byleth was 13 years old.Before going through the rigorous CQC training*, her dad gave her some simple practice primers, setting up different scenarios to get her out of trouble or to incapacitate someone.At one point, her dad locked her in the trunk of a car, a training that wasn't over until Byleth could do it on her own without his guidance and prompting at all—they had to give the car a hand after the last session. Change to a back door.

When it came to Beles, her father finally took her to work.He asked her to set up the sniper rifle and aim at the middle-aged man who was walking with the young woman in his arms. Beles pulled the trigger according to his father's order, and then left without a trace.

She feels nothing about killing.

It was just a job, they were hired to kill the target.

That's it.

Suthis was obviously dissatisfied with Beles' indifference, but they never lifted the window paper.

Byleth was 20 when she was allowed to act alone, and everything she did was perfect.

She is always perfect.

"Keep a low profile. Don't get joints unless you have to. Change your fake name regularly, but never forget your real one. And don't forget your colored lenses—hair dye too."

Byleth never understood the last two rules, but she never asked.Sometimes, she would stare at Surtis's emerald hair and beautiful green eyes, and be frustrated that she only had dyed green algae hair and blue eyes.But she trusts her father and always sticks to those principles.

Such is her life.

until that night.Byles awoke to the screech of tires on the pavement, heard a loud thump, sat up and reached for the pistol hidden under the bed.

Suthis murmured sleepily behind her: "Ah, I hope someone is dead or dying, and dare to disturb our sleep like this."

Bai Leisi stared at Suthis's question, but walked towards the window sill without saying a word.She slowly opened the curtains, leaning against the wall by the window while avoiding the light.

Porch headlights and car lights are the only sources of light.The black car crashed in front of their big apple tree, and three people got out of it, two men and a woman, both young, who looked close to Byleth's age, but she couldn't be sure.They were all dressed in the same black as outside, but each one seemed to have different shirts under their suits.

The man with hair a little darker than his complexion was gasped by the laughter of his companion, and while pulling out his tie, he undid the first button of his yellow shirt, "Nice job, Dimitri, you just put our only hope hit a tree."

Another blond man named "Dimitri" put his hand to his temple and replied: "I'm sorry. A bullet seems to have hit something and the car suddenly lost control."

The only female sighed, patted her clothes, and walked a few steps from the scene of the car accident.Byreth wondered if her dress was really that red, or if she was hurt. "At least, we seem to be all right. Are you okay? Claude? Dimitri?"

Dimitri nodded as he responded, and buttoned the collar of his blue shirt again: "I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Edelgard."

"It's fine if you're almost crushed into meatloaf thanks to the prince. Well, I'm fine." Claude replied with a hint of teasing, and when he saw Dimitri frown at him, he blinked again. blinked.Dimitri sighed and shook his head, but didn't say much.Claude looked at the wreckage and asked almost to himself, "Where did that bullet hit? Brake?"

Byles could hear two speeding cars approaching their location.

Sounds like maybe 7-10 minutes to find them?

Dimitri and a woman named Edelgard both opened their suit jackets and took out a pistol.Byles didn't have enough light to recognize which one it was, but the way the two of them held the guns in a comfortable manner must have been experienced.Claude walked towards the trunk of the crashed vehicle, raised his arm and caught the thing thrown by Dimitri. It turned out to be the trunk key, and he took out a violin case from it and opened it.

Beles immediately realized that there was a disassembled sniper rifle inside.

Her father had also given her a similar box.

When Claude quickly assembled the sniper rifle, Dimitri walked up to him neatly.

"Oh? He's covering him." Suthis commented from behind, and Beles nodded.Dimitri stood in front of the car to block Claude, while Edelgard stayed behind the car. This is a position that can see the overall situation but is not easy to be found, and can easily provide fire cover.

"We should hide in the house," Claude suggested as he assembled the sniper rifle.

"There may be someone inside!" Dimitri immediately objected, frowning at Edelgard.

"It's impossible for someone to be inside." Claude retorted, carrying the sniper rifle on his shoulder and continued: "Let me say, think about it. When we have a car accident, no one comes out to check the wind. Generally, they are not curious about the situation in the car." Is the man alive?"

Dimitri pursed his lips as tightly as his brow, but had nothing to say.

"Dimitri, we have no choice." Edelgard said coldly.Dimitri nodded with a serious expression, Edelgard finished the negotiation, watched as Dimitri stood up, and walked towards the house resolutely and cautiously, followed by the rest.

Knowing that this group of people was coming towards them, Bai Leisi quietly closed the window, took a knife and walked out of the bedroom.She pushed the door open slowly to keep it from creaking as usual.Opening only wide enough for her figure to squeeze through, Byreth held the pistol in front but aimed down, resting the butt of the gun on the other hand holding the knife.

There was no light leaking from her father's bedroom door, and perhaps he had gone downstairs without telling Byreth.Byles walked down the stairs, jumped over the broken fifth block, and aimed the pistol at the front door just as it opened slowly.

"Don't move." Her father's gruff voice came from the shadows by the door, his shotgun right in Dimitri's chest.

Byles sneaked back up the stairs again, aiming at Dimitri's right leg.Skip the fifth broken ladder again, stop at the top and watch Dimitri stare at her father.

"Is there no one in there? Claude?"

Dimitri sighed, and sighed again, sounding like someone used to being targeted.

"I didn't say no one was inside." Claude argued in an almost heartless tone, "I said 'maybe', the difference is very big."

"We have no malicious intentions, we just want to find a hiding place." Edelgard said, trying to stabilize the situation, "We are being hunted down, and they will come here soon. Believe me, they will not hesitate kill you."

"Put your hand where I can see it." Following his father's command and always aiming at his gun, Dimitri turned on the light, raised his hand and entered the house, holding the gun in his right hand, but keeping his index finger away trigger.Edelgard and Claude also cautiously raised their hands. Claude carried the sniper rifle on his right shoulder, but Edelgard's pistol was nowhere to be seen.All three were only looking at her father, and no one noticed Byleth.Dimitri moved slowly to try to cover Edelgard, but her father pointed to Dimitri's chest and said, "Stay still, brat."

Dimitri stopped, but did not return to his original position, at least protecting half of Edelgard's body.

Byleth aimed the pistol at Edelgard, and the blond man might have snatched his father's shotgun to protect Edelgard, and then Byleth would have shot.A few seconds passed, and the only sound came from the approaching mysterious vehicle, and Byreth watched her father stare at the three men.

"Damn it." His father cursed and put down the shotgun, rubbed his face and cursed again: "Damn it. You belong to the Cyrus family."

"Oh? Do you know us?" Claude asked easily, but Dimitri and Edelgard looked surprised.

Adele's expression returned to normal as Dimitri opened her mouth, but her father's frustrated growl interrupted what he was about to say: "I don't know you two, but this guy looks like Lambert. Exactly the same as when I was young, hell."

"You know my father?" Dimitri's eyes widened and his voice was fragmented.

Her father raised his shotgun again and yelled at the three, "Did Leia send you here? Does she know we're here?"

"Wow, can you calm down?" Claude interrupted him, taking a step forward from Dimitri and Edelgard, "Lord Leia didn't send us, we don't even know who you are, and Don't know what you've done in the family. We were shot, we tried to escape, but our car was wrecked... credit to that Prince."

Dimitri obviously slumped his shoulders at Claude's talk, but remained silent.

"Claude is right. We have no intersection with you, and we don't care about your relationship with the family, we just want to-"

Whatever Edelgard was about to say was lost in the screeching of the two cars.They all looked towards the door, which was quickly closed by Byleth's father.

He was leaning against the wall by the door, and Dimitri was on the other side, holding the pistol in both hands, index finger still away from the trigger.Edelgard squatted behind the sofa and aimed at the door, while Claude ran towards the stairs and stopped suddenly, finally noticing the presence of Byles, who was pointing a pistol at Claude's chest.

"Oh, hello." Claude blinked and sent a happy greeting.

Both Dimitri and Edelgard turned to Claude, startled by the silent woman on the stairs.

"Beles, switch positions."

Her father ordered, and Byleth walked right through Claude to him.

Claude leaned his back on the railing to make way for Byles, raised his head and commented: "By the way, the skirt is not bad."

Dimitri's cheeks were flushed and he scolded in a low voice: "Claude!"

Claude grinned at Byles' father's glare, and Byles blinked at Claude in confusion, wondering what he meant.

Suthis's groan reminded her: "We forgot to put on our coats."

Oh yes.

She was only wearing a nightgown, a short black skirt that didn't reach her thighs, with lace on the chest. She chose it herself, and it was always hot at night.

Her father just sighed and tossed the shotgun to her, and she handed the pistol back and grabbed it.

"See if they're in the car!"

"Search that house thoroughly!"

Her father walked quietly towards the kitchen and ordered: "Snipers go upstairs, there is a window on the second floor overlooking the front of the house, and aim if anyone comes in. The Braddard kid and the red girl stay behind the sofa and wait for me." Daughter gave the order to fire again, Byles."

"Lead the battle." Byles said and saw his father nodding, and Claude had disappeared on the second floor.

"I'll go around and kill anyone who approaches from behind," her father said, heading straight for the kitchen.Dimitri stepped out of the sofa and stopped in front of Bailes, staring at the floor, took off his suit jacket and handed it to Bailes.

Byles blinked, staring at his holster, unaware that there was another gun hidden in the suit.

Suthis cleared his throat and ordered: "Okay, just take that suit and say 'thank you', and let that unlucky kid slow down, I think he's about to collapse."

Only then did Beles notice that Dimitri's ears were as red as his face. Although Suthis's tone was condescending and disgusting, she thought what Suthis said was quite cute.She draped her suit over her shoulders and said, "Thank you."

"Sorry we bothered-"

The sound of the doorknob turning prevented Dimitri from continuing to speak. He nodded firmly to Byles and quickly rushed back to the sofa, squatting next to Edelgard.

The door opened and everyone held their breath.A strange man entered first. Byles squatted aside and stabbed his foot with a knife. The man screamed. She pressed the shotgun to her chest and shot at close range. The bullet entered his chest and hit the next person. body.There were two other screams, Beles quickly reloaded, and while No. 1 was falling slowly, he blasted off the head of the nearest person, and while they couldn't move, he quickly shot two shots to knock down the third person, and then Quickly hid behind the door.

"Six." She counted silently.

After 1 minute, the people outside the door began to commotion.

She heard the sound of sniper rifle fire and bodies falling.

"Five," she corrected, turning to the two behind the couch. "Ready, aim for the door. Shoot when I order."

Without waiting for them to acknowledge her command, she lowered the shotgun close to the ground until her knees were firmly pressed against the floor.She listened to the approaching footsteps, measuring the distance like her father taught her, "It's now!"

Immediately she heard a shot hit the man in the chest just a foot away from the door.

"Four." She remembered.

She heard another shot a second later, too early.

Only this one shot early.

well.

She knows what to do when no one listens to her.

She forced the foe back with the force of the bullet, shot the door for cover, and managed to draw the screaming man into sniper rifle range.He does take a few steps back, and Claude finishes off perfectly.

"Three."

The remaining three had been prepared for a long time, and they were not easy to deal with. They rushed out of the range of the sniper rifles and reached the door to pull the trigger. When Dimitri and Edelgard used the sofa as a cover, Beles was shooting. Dodge left and dodge right.

A man shot Edelgard twice in the head, and another rushed to grab Byleth's ankle, and Dimitri's coat fell from his shoulder as Beleth and the man fought over the shotgun. fall.She stabbed the man in the thigh, and at the same time pushed his head aside, blood splashed on her face in an instant.

She turned to see Dimitri running towards her and shot the man over her head three more times, two to the chest and one to the middle right of the neck.Byles stared at him, and he grabbed the corpse by the neck and pulled it off her, then asked, "Are you all right?"

She was about to answer when Suthis shouted, "That girl!"

She moved instinctively, not caring that the last man had aimed his gun at Edelgard, who was reloading, she leaned against Dimitri, her chest pressed against his chest, the The spare pistol was out of the holster, but there was no time to aim.

She lets go of her feelings.

"If you want to hit someone but don't have time to aim, shoot at the chest, it's the largest target in the body, easy to hit and buys you more time."

Her gun hit the man in the shoulder, and before the man could pull the trigger, the muzzle came within an inch of Edelgard's head, and Edelgard fired twice as he screamed in rage. One shot hit his left eye and the other under his nose.

The last one fell with a thud.All three of them were a little out of breath, adrenaline churning through their veins.Byles walked away from Dimitri, and when their eyes met, Byless returned the pistol to him.

Then she heard more gunshots from the backyard and quickly grabbed the discarded shotgun, "Dad."

The words broke Dimitri's thoughts like a spell, and when Byleth rushed out, he caught up immediately, and Edelgard followed them.

When they walked out, Byreth's dad was firing into a moving car, with a shot through the rear window.They all watched the car shake violently while her father wasted no time turning the tires into fire and the car burst as if thrown into the air before crashing against the sidewalk.

"God." Claude caught up with them in amazement, witnessing the final fate of the car in a daze, "Is this true?"

"I... think so." Edelgard replied, staring blankly at the scene.

Claude threw back the coat that he had just grabbed in shock to Dimitri, and Dimitri instinctively caught it, still staring at the upturned car.

What are these two people... exactly?

Beles was not surprised at all, and walked towards her father.Her father turned to her and asked, "Are you all right?"

Byles nodded, but her father frowned and wiped the blood from her cheek.Knowing what he was thinking, she immediately said, "It's not my blood."

"Great." Father nodded to her, then looked at the three stunned intruders.But Beles tilted her head, thinking that Claude was not stupid at all.Instead, he looked at her dad (or was she?) with a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye...

Interested?

"That boy...strange," Surtis whispered. "He looks like he's got a lot to ask, or worse...cut us apart."

Baileys rolled her eyes at Suthis's rich imagination, but... what she said did make sense.Byleth has spent most of her life on the alert and trusting her instincts not to disappoint her.

"So, let's get back to business." Her father refocused the gun on Dimitri, who was standing in front of the two of them, forcing Beles back to his senses.

"What? Don't!" cried Surtis. "Don't let him do that!"

Byles walked up to Dimitri, right in front of her dad's gun, shocking everyone.

"Beles, get out of the way."

"No." Byleth replied unemotionally, echoing Surtees's hissed "No."

"He saved my life." Byleth's answer gave her father a headache.

"Of course he'll save you, he's a member of the Faerghus branch, damn it, he's that bloody Bradade. They're all stupid like that." He continued rolling his eyes: "You order them to jump, they And somersaults."

Before anyone else could comment, a motorcycle raced up to them and headed straight for Byreth.Dimitri subconsciously went to catch Beles, but Beles jumped towards him at the same time, avoiding the unfriendly car.They collided, and Byleth lost her balance, and Dimitri hugged her shoulders, helping her to steady herself.

Her father cursed in his heart that he had only diverted his attention to the three little devils, and his daughter's impulsive behavior made him miss the movement around him.

No.

This bike is extremely quiet from start to finish.

Like the car that followed.

The motorbike driver stopped in front of Edelgard and Crott, one foot on the ground and an Uzi aimed at him.

The door of the car opened, and a loud voice pierced the sky: "Don't move! You will regret doing right with the Seiros family! You guys—Geralt?!"

Byles' father rubbed the bridge of his nose while shaking his arms and muttered in pain: "Why does it have to be him?"

"It's me! Airos!" The man who jumped up suddenly was wearing the same suit as the other three, but the shirt inside was white. He swaggered towards Beles' father and gave a bear hug: "You It's still alive!"

Discovering that Airos knew the man who had just put the gun on Dimitri and was still talking to him like an old friend, the motorbike driver re-locked the Uzi, turned off the engine of the motorcycle, and put the helmet on Take it off and turn to Claude and Edelgard: "You two are all right."

"We're all fine, thanks, Samia," Edelgard replied.

"I'm sure His Royal Highness is fine too." Claude joked, and the two women turned their attention back to the other companion, and they shrank to a distance where they could hear the conversation clearly.

Byles, who had regained her balance, nodded her thanks to Dimitri.

"No, I'm the one thanking you." Dimitri paused, realizing she was still wearing only a short nightgown, and rewrapped the coat around her before continuing, "You know who we are and do this for us That kind of thing, most people don’t do that.”

"Who are you?" Byles asked, raising her head.

"The Seiros family." Sutis reminded helplessly.

"Oh, the Seiros family?" Beles followed up.

Dimitri nodded, with a slight smile on his lips: "Yes, the Seros family..."

"To be precise, we are a branch of the Seiros family." Kouros added, following the two women as they approached them.

"Please forgive our belated self-introduction." When Edelgard introduced herself, she put her hands flat on her chest, "I am Edelgard von Freisberg, and I am the next Heir to the Adrestia branch."

"Ah, yes." Dimitri bowed slightly when introducing himself, "I am Dimitri Alexander Bredade from the Faerghus branch. As your father deduced, my late father The former head of our branch family, and I... well, the current head of the Faerghus branch is my uncle."

"I'm Claude von Rigan from the Lesta branch. Ligang is the leader of the Lesta branch. I think you can also say that I'm the heir to Lesta." Claude pulled off his coat , draping it over his left shoulder while leaning his sniper rifle against his right.

Beles had only heard of the Seiros family through other people's mouths. Her father refused all jobs that would be related to Seiros, but he also told her the basic information just in case.Even, his father would not come to Fodora to pick up work unless it was absolutely necessary.

The Cyros family is a gangster group known for controlling the dark side of the city of Fodora.Except for those messy branches, there are three really well-known ones.

The Adrestia branch manages all the legal affairs of the Seros family. It is also the most famous of the three branches. It is rumored that they have connections with the political, economic and entertainment circles.The Faerghus branch is the department that ensures that all branches are in the hands of Seros. It is the sword and shield of the Seros family. They are famous for their loyalty to the main family. Rumor has it that their loyalty has reached fanaticism.The affairs of the Leista branch are relatively flexible. They are an alliance composed of different factions. Since they can gradually grow into a major branch of the Seiros family, they must often need to deal with the outside world.

Byles glanced at his father, who was still staring at Airos.Byles turned her attention back to the group in front of her, noticing that the woman on the bike hadn't introduced herself yet.

"That's rude." Suthis snorted.

"So can we get the name of the bad girl who saved us?" Claude said with a smile, "Of course, asking for my good buddy Dimitri."

"Claude!"

This reminds Byleth that they both seem to be waiting to introduce themselves, and the two young men seem to speak better than Adelegart, so she says, "I am..."

"Lord Sutis?!" Airos interrupted her, and everyone looked at him.Dimitri and Edelgard looked as if they had stumbled upon a dead man, while Claude looked as happy as if he had received an early Christmas present.

"Wait? What?!" Suthis yelled, seeming to speak out Beles's inner voice, "Why does he know my name?!"
