【Dimiris】The Lost Heir of Cyros

Summary: Byles came into contact with the notorious Selos family and her secrets of life experience.

:

Byles didn't know how the situation had come to this.Before she could figure out the situation, Airos almost kidnapped her, saying that she must go to see "Lord Leia" immediately.The one thing that stopped him from dragging Byleth into the car was her unceremonious left hook (the grinning old man just grinned and complained, weird) and her father's promise: they Will ride with him.Now they were surrounded by two limousines summoned by Airos, with him at the front, followed by the three heirs.The motorcycle girl stayed and, as she put it, "goes to take care of the funeral".When the three got into the car, Claude winked at Byles, while Dimitri stared at her for a while, in stark contrast to Edelgard who didn't give her a single glance.

"If I said 'this situation is unusual,' it would be," Surtees remarked behind Belace, arms folded.Apparently, she was agitated because she didn't get an immediate reply from Beles, so Suthis poked his head out, put his head between the driver's seat and the co-pilot, and complained: "That means I'm angry! You should give me some feedback." I!"

Byleth leaned her temple against the window and remained silent. Surtees was about to scold her, but she couldn't, because her father whispered to her, "I know you have a lot of questions."

"'A lot' is not enough to describe." Surtis raged, turning his anger on the man who couldn't even see her.

Dad sighed and turned the steering wheel as the car in front of them turned right.She saw that they had entered the city of Fodora, and it took her a moment to realize that they had just passed the red light district, which is often called Gortier by the locals.Her father continued: "I don't want you to come back here, back home."

"Daddy..." Byreth asked, staring at him, "Who am I?"

Her father took a deep breath and replied, "Your name is Sutis Selos. Your mother is...she is Leia's own sister."

"My name...is Surtis." Byles repeated, it sounded reasonable, but there was something wrong.Suthis calmed down and leaned on the back seat.

"Twenty years ago, a fire broke out in the mansion at Cyros headquarters. I lied and said that you died in the fire." Her father wiped his lips with his hand. With you leaving the family."

"Why?" Byles asked.

The father was silent for a moment, as if searching for the right words, before replying, "It's dangerous to be 'Cyros'...I want to keep you safe."

"I'm a professional killer." Byles reminded him in a tone that imitated Suthis.

He smiled, and then said, "Child, being a professional killer is far better than being 'Serros'. The days of incognito and no fixed place can protect us. Once you have anything to do with Sairos, your back will become countless. human target."

The car stopped in front of a silver gate. After a few seconds, the gate opened automatically and they drove in.Byreth watched them drive down a long driveway that looked out over beautiful gardens, with a small patio on one side and what appeared to be a large clearing with tables and chairs on the other.She also saw a pond with buildings like a greenhouse standing beside it.They eventually stopped in front of a huge Victorian mansion, two stories high, with large open balconies overlooking the estate.

Garrgu Mach...the domain of House Seros...

On the balcony stood a woman with long green hair, wearing a cold mask, staring at the slowly passing car.

Her father hung up the car engine and stared at the woman he called "Lea."

Beles looked at the woman on the balcony, and Suthis said loudly: "That is 'Master Leia', the current head of the Cyros family, or..." Her voice softened, "We aunt."

Her father turned and called out softly, "Beles..."

Byleth turned her attention to her father and listened carefully as he said, "No matter what happens, I just want you to know...I love you. Get it, kid?"

Byles stared at him without saying a word, and he continued: "I will always support you, no matter what you choose or what you want to do, I will do my best to help you."

Byleth didn't know how to respond, she...had never thought of asking for anything before.Her whole life, all the things she experienced, were just doing what her father or Suthis asked her to do.

Her father seemed to be waiting for her to make a statement, but she really didn't know what to say.Fortunately, Airos knocked on the driver's window, and his father shook his head, opened the door and walked out.Before Byles could move, Dimitri opened the car door for her.

"What a gentleman." Suthis commented in his usual superior tone, and Beles got out of the car in silence.The night in Fodora is colder than that in Lumir Village, but she has no time to change clothes.Damn, she didn't even have time to take away her contact lenses and plush slippers.The sidewalk was icy, and she wrapped her borrowed coat tightly around her as she greeted Dimitri silently.Turning his head and looking back at the balcony, he realized that the woman was staring at him carefully.Byles kept eye contact with her until Dimitri escorted her to the entrance hall, where the others were already waiting for her.

As they entered the house, her father walked up to her and put his hand on Byreth's back, as if a cue for Dimitri to stand back. Dimitri bowed slightly, then slowed down to let Baire Ruth and Geralt walked in front, side by side.Byles noticed that Airos was at the front, but the three heirs just followed behind them.

They headed up to the second floor, through the heavy double doors to the Great Room.A long rectangular table is placed in the center, and further forward leads to the balcony, perhaps the large balcony overlooking the entire courtyard.Leia, the family leader was sitting at the table. She was wearing an elegant white dress with delicately carved lace cuffs, and her long hair fluttered freely, covering half of her ears.Immediately to her left sat a middle-aged man with a solemn expression, with a head of dark green hair, examining them.Like most people in Calgary, he wore a white shirt under his black suit.

Leia greeted them with a smile, "Nice to see you again, Geralt."

Her father responded with a bow: "Long time no see, Leia."

He nodded again at the man who looked fierce, and continued: "Thetis."

The man named Thetis squinted his eyes and observed him, but Leia was aside, so he could only keep silent.

"Honestly, I've been alone too long. We all miss you."

Geralt was noncommittal, and Leia turned her eyes to Byles, who was staring at her so intently that it made Byles feel a little creepy.

Suthis hid behind Byles and stared at her.

"Excuse me, son. But I must ask you..."

She walked up to Bylace and pushed some strands of her hair behind her ears, a movement that nearly stopped Geralt's heart. "This...isn't your real hair color, is it?"

Byles glanced at her father, who nodded at Byles' silent question.So she replied, "Yes, ma'am."

There was a smile on the corner of Leya's mouth, and Sithis asked immediately: "Then you shouldn't refuse to use this decolorizing agent?"

He stepped forward to hand Byreth the bottle, continuing to stare at her father.Byrice looked in Geralt's direction again, but he remained calm, suggesting that she made her own choice.Anyway, there is no harm in doing what the fierce uncle said, Beles nodded, and took the bottle from Thetis.She turned around to look at the other people in the room, and found that the subordinates beside Airos had long since disappeared.

Airos doesn't look like he's crying or laughing, maybe a little bit of both, but he looks like he's out of breath anyway.Claude looked at her burningly, as if Bylace was a gift he couldn't wait to unwrap.Edelgard looked down at the ground with a very stiff expression.Dimitri was also half-hearted, looking at her with an impressive poker face.

After much deliberation, he was still the best choice, and Beres walked over and asked, "Where is the nearest bathroom?"

Dimitri seemed extremely surprised by this question, but still smiled at her politely: "It is my honor to escort you."

He looked to Leia for instructions, and she nodded: "Please, Dimitri."

After receiving the order, Dimitri turned and opened the door, waiting for Byles to leave the room before following.When he closed the door, Byreth caught a glimpse of a bright-haired little sister poking her head out from behind the pillar. ("The pillars are still erected in the house!" Suthis teased) When they met, the green-haired lady quickly retracted behind the pillars... It was useless at all, and Beles could still see her black puffy hair. skirt.

"Miss?" Dimitri yelled, Beles turned his head, and he was a few steps ahead of her.

"This way please." After Dimitri finished speaking, he took a step forward and led her into a long corridor, with Beles following behind him.Dimitri stopped in front of the third door and opened it to welcome her in.He turned on the lights and closed the door, and Byreth looked around. It looked like a normal guest room, elegant but devoid of any personal items... empty.

Dimitri walked towards the only other door in the room, while Beles was engrossed in a small oil painting of a forest.She heard a click, maybe Dimitri turned on the light or something, and she didn't bother to look back.There is a white lion with a blue mane hiding under the leaves in the painting, which is really interesting.

With the sound of a door opening, Dimitri retreated from the room, and Byles finally turned around.She went into the bathroom and found that there was no light switch inside, no, there was, on the wall before she entered the door.

...the bathroom light switch is outside...

Why?

Beles and Surtis looked at each other funny, and neither of them knew how to explain.

There was a blue bath towel on the shelf that looked clean, and she took off her coat, and Dimitri coughed dryly.

She turned her head, and Dimitri turned back, shaking his head and saying, "I-I'll find you some clean clothes, take your time."

Before she could even react, Dimitri quickly slipped out of the room and closed the door behind him.Both Beles and Surtis stared at the door thoughtfully, and after a while Surtis said, "He's so cute, isn't he."

Byles sniffled and hung her suit jacket over the dry sink, knowing Surtees was being sarcastic.After closing the door and making sure it was securely locked, Byreth took off her nightgown and underwear and threw them all on the floor.She stopped by the bathroom, deciding to take a shower on the spot instead of just rinsing the dye off.

"He told us to take our time." Suthis hummed.

Beles stretched out his hand to turn on the shower, and a burst of icy water hit Surtis with a scream.Her hands drenched for a while in the freezing water, which seemed to be the shower head's default setting.

"Is this going to freeze to death?!"

When Suthis adjusted the temperature in dissatisfaction, Beles shrugged and carefully checked the decolorizing agent that Sitis gave her while waiting for the temperature to rise.There seemed to be nothing suspicious, so Baileys opened the cap and squeezed a large tube into her hand. There was no need to mix it like the few hair dyes she used to, just pat it on the forehead to wash off the color.It also says on the label: Fast results.

"It seems that those people are really impatient." Suthis snorted while sitting on the toilet, while Beles covered all her hair with foamy liquid, Suthis said while shaking his legs; " If it's bad for his hair, we're going to shave him bald."

She smiled mischievously again, "Brows and all."

Beles disdained Suthis' vicious behavior, but her heart still moved.It doesn't matter what hair color it is, but she and Suthis really treasure this hair.Once she was sure every strand of hair was covered with the bubble decolorizer, she stepped into the shower, closing the glass door so the water wouldn't flow out of the cubicle.Then all that was left was to close your eyes and let the water wash away everything.She gently kneaded her hair, and slowly opened her eyes after Suthis called to stop.Her hair wasn't as long as Suthis's, but it wasn't short either.The color remover does what it says it does, bringing out every strand of hair without missing a beat.She stared at her pale green hair for a moment, knowing that it was lighter than Leia's and Thetis's.

But what exactly does that mean.

Bai Leisi grabbed the shampoo on the corner of the table and touched her head. The decolorizing cream she used just now is obviously a kind of harmful and powerful stain remover, so she needs to use something else to reduce it as much as possible Damage to hair.

Suthis has been sitting on the toilet outside the shower, complaining babblingly: "Oh, there is no air conditioning! Whoever is in charge should be thrown into the warehouse and locked up for a week."

Byleth tried to give her hair a good wash, but half the amount of shampoo wasn't enough.Seeing this, Suthis said, "Go buy it! Hey! Ask that little cutie to buy it for us, he will definitely go there."

Suthis was super satisfied with his thoughts, and Beles secretly rolled his eyes.Rinse off the shampoo with clean water first, then sigh and grab the soap on the side of the small counter.The subtle scent of lemon wafted down her wet hands as she lathered and rubbed herself.After the soap was rinsed off, Suthis asked immediately, "Do you still want to brush your teeth?"

Byreth remembered a blue plastic cup by the sink with a toothbrush in it, but she skipped it anyway.Suthis agreed with her choice: "Yes, this toothbrush looks like it has been used. Seriously, that room attendant can be fired, get out immediately."

When Bai Leisi felt that she was completely new inside and out, she turned off the shower, moved the glass door, grabbed the blue bath towel on the rack, rubbed her hair to wipe off excess water, and at about the same time, quickly patted her body dry and stared at Look at the underwear on the ground.Do you want to wear dirty ones?Or did Dimitri have the idea of ​​buying him underwear?

Suthis sneered at Byles's wild thoughts.

Byles let out a breath, wrapped her body in a towel and opened the door to the bedroom.I walked out of the bathroom and looked around. There was no one in the room, but there were a few folded clothes and a pair of simple black flat shoes beside the bed.She took a closer look, and the underwear was also there.

Therefore, Suthis and Bai Leisi quietly stared at the set of white lace underwear in a daze.Suthis asked with a smile, "So...he chose this for us?"

Byles snorted. He probably got a maid or something to help him.

Suthis sighed in disappointment: "It's the most likely, but it's so boring."

Byles gave her another look, took off the towel and began to put it on.She slips on her panties easily, but she frowns: the bra is too small.

Suthis came up with an idea in a good mood: "He may be right outside the door, let him change you to a bigger one."

Bai Leisi glared at Suthis stubbornly buttoning up his bra, and Suthis shrugged nonchalantly: "Okay, you can take it."

Come on, there are worse things.

The change of clothes on the bed was a white long-sleeved shirt with ruffles on both sides and a high-waisted short skirt with embroidered flowers that covered her knees.She lifted her white pantyhose and raised her eyebrows, and turned her back to ask Suthis if she could wear them.

This is not her style, really not.

Suthis spread his hands and made no comment at all.

Bailes sat on the edge of the bed and choked silently. She put the socks on one leg and then on the other leg, then stood up and pulled them tightly around her waist.Then she began to put on her shirt, buttoning it all the way to the first one just next to her neck.There was elastic at the waistband, and Byreth slipped the skirt on easily and tucked the shirt in.Smoothing the skirt, Byres looked at Suthis who was standing in front of the mirror, which was placed next to the cabinet.As she ran her fingers through her hair, Suthis nodded to her, as if approving of the outfit.Beles put her feet into her shoes while combing her hair, and Suthis leaned on the chair and watched her, and said with emotion: "You are completely like a member of the Cyrus family now."

Byles was sure that was what upset Surtis.

She went back to the bathroom, picked up the clothes on the floor, rolled them up, grabbed the borrowed suit, looked up and fumbled for the light switch on the wall—

Then she remembered, the light switch was outside.

She shook her head and went out, turning off the light.

Before leaving the bedroom, Byreth hesitated whether to leave the light in the bedroom, but she finally turned off the light source.Byles opened the door, where Dimitri and another man stood.As soon as they heard the sound of the door opening, the two stopped their whispering at the same time.The man standing beside Dimitri had dark skin and hair whiter than snow, and seemed to be older than Dimitri.

Beres guessed that he was most likely from the Duskar area of ​​Fodora.

"It's strange." Suthis interjected afterwards, "I heard that the Seiros family was hit hard in a certain incident, and Daska was cleaned up in order to retaliate. Why does Dascar like him Can the Ska still be part of the family?"

The three of them were silent together, and Suthis kicked Beles' leg because he was bored.Both young men seemed busy studying her green hair, the taller expressionless, but Dimitri seemed in awe.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long." Beles said in order to appease Suthis who always hated awkward silence.At the same time, he returned the suit jacket to Dimitri and added, "Thank you for lending it to me."

"It's nothing." Dimitri took the coat and quickly responded modestly.He saw the dirty clothes in Beles' hands and proposed: "If you want, you can give the clothes to Du Du. He can hand them over to the maid to clean them."

Du Du bowed slightly and stretched out his hand: "It's my honor to help you, miss."

"Thank you." Bayes nodded and handed over the crumpled dirty laundry.

Dimitri asked after Dudu finished taking Beles's clothes, "Shall we go back to the meeting room?"

Beles nodded, and before Dimitri left, he asked in a superior but not mean tone: "Let's talk about it later."

"Go, sir." Du Du replied with a bow, turned his gaze to Beles, and bowed again, "And miss."

Bylace nodded at him, not sure if that was the proper etiquette.Dimitri stretched out his hand to the deep corridor, and Byles stepped forward.

She passed him, and suddenly, Dimitri took a sharp breath, and Byreth heard a sound similar to choking, and looked up at him reflexively.Dimitri blushed slightly and stammered, "You have-ah-I-"

"Sir?" Du Du's presence seemed to calm Dimitri down.

Dimitri frowned, gathered his courage, and seemed to regret doing it, so he continued to ask, "Did you use the soap in the bathroom?"

"Yeah, I used it. I was a little dirty before, so I think I'd better take a shower." Beles said, tilting her head: "Can't I?"

"There's still blood." Suthis broke in with an inarticulate voice, "Maybe there's even some brains on it, who knows. You just popped his head off."

"Of course." Dimitri shouted immediately, and Beles' eyebrows twitched.He cleared his throat and calmly clarified: "I think it's fine. Miss, you smell really good*."

Du Du covered his mouth with his right hand and uttered a single tone.The sound could only be interpreted by Byreth as a giggle pretending to cough.When Dimitri realized what he was talking about, the roots of his ears turned red slowly, and Surtis laughed out loud behind him.

Bai Leisi's lips twitched, but at least she didn't laugh out loud, embarrassing the cute little golden retriever, she just said plainly: "Thank you, let's go?"

"Let's go together." Dimitri replied, as if to say, "You go first." He also looked like he was waiting for her, so Beles walked in front.Dimitri did not lead the way, but followed behind, blocking Suthis's way to make her angry.

Walking through the second door, Dimitri was still falling behind, and Beles slowed down so that Dimitri could follow, but Dimitri also slowed down.Suthis was furious and warned Beles to do something quickly, otherwise there would be big trouble here! (Big trouble that only Beles can feel)

Byles stopped and turned to Dimitri, who didn't expect her to brake suddenly and nearly hit her.Byles folded her arms and asked, "Why do you keep following me?"

Dimitri Baden-Baden eyes, obviously confused by her question.He hesitated and replied: "Miss, for a person of your status, this is the etiquette I should do."

"My status..." Byles repeated with raised eyebrows.

Dimitri nodded and explained: "As a member and the next leader of Seiros' direct line."

"The next leader?" Surtis' eyes widened, and Beles repeated Dimitri's words dully.

Dimitri always tilted his head when explaining the problem: "That's right. I mean, you are Lady Leia's niece. After Leia, her cousin Thetis should have taken over, but since you are back, From the point of view of inheritance, you should be superior to him."

Surtis and Beles stared at Dimitri silently, not knowing how to respond to the string he threw away.Dimitri was bewildered by their staring eyes (although Byles was the only one from his point of view) but remained silent.

Suthis closed his eyes, put one hand on his waist, pressed the bridge of his nose with the other hand and said, "It's useless to embarrass this kid, that's basically his speculation. No guy with a normal mind would just believe One-sided words based on hearsay to speculate about our own family. Come on, let us figure it out for ourselves."

Byles nodded to Surtis, while Dimitri was puzzled.But Beles walked back to the meeting room, and he still obediently followed.

...at a fairly fast pace, even for Dimitri...

As they approached the conference room, Dimitri walked even faster, obviously trying to open the door for Byles, but Byles opened it first and rushed in.Dimitri had to follow behind her and close the door.

"Come on slowly—" Thetis scolded, but when he saw Beles' appearance, his voice stopped abruptly.

Everyone was sitting at the long table, and when they entered the door, all eyes were on Beles.Edelgard stares at her with wide eyes; Claude grins triumphantly, as if ready to ask her a few (a bunch of) little questions; Aylos finally chokes out crying; Thetis shakes slightly Leia made no secret of her greedy eyes staring at her, so she had to look away.Finally, Beles turned her beseeching gaze to her father, who smiled resignedly.

She knew why he was so disappointed.He had told her once that her hair was the same color as her late mother's.It was one of the few things Geralt was willing to bring up with his daughter.

Leia stood up and walked towards her, putting her hand on her cheek, Beles resisted the desire to step back, she could feel Leia's fingers trembling slightly on her face.Rhea whispered, "Welcome home, my dear...Surtis."

"Beleth," she corrected, causing Leia to blink in confusion.She gently grabbed Leia's hand and pulled her away from her face.Leia didn't resist, but held her hands tightly. "My name is Byles."

Her father smiled reassuringly, and Leia stared at Beles silently for a long time, then nodded with a gentle smile on her face. "Of course, you can call it whatever you want, so—"

Leia closed her eyes for a while, then opened her eyes again and continued, "Beles."

Beles wasn't sure whether she needed to respond or just nodded. Leia's concession seemed a good sign, and she ordered to others: "Get out."

Beles felt that she was not included in this order, because Leia had a strong and soft desire to control her.Airos, Edelgard, and Claude stood up and started walking towards the door.Claude deliberately went around to the side of Leya and Beles, sniffed his nose, smiled meaningfully at Beles and left quietly.He put his arm on Dimitri's shoulder casually all the way, forcing him to walk with him, saying cheerfully, "Let me tell you what you missed when you were with Lord Bylace."

Airos opened the door first, waited for the three heirs to come out, held the door handle, and seemed to want to say something inside, but in the end he just bowed and closed the door.

Once the door closed, Leia led her to the table and seated her on the right.Continuing to hold her hand, Byles silently watched Leia's eyes twinkle with tears.Realizing that Leia was speechless, Thetis cleared his throat as if he was about to cry, but he said to Byreth, "Geralt has told us about you all these years. "

Thetis glanced at the stump-like man next to Byleth, "We'll be forever grateful—"

Her father snorted but quickly covered it up with a cough.

"He has been caring about you and protecting you." Thetis continued nonchalantly, "We all agree that Gerald will return to his original position as the head of security—"

Byles looked at her father, who nodded in silent concern.Thetis mentioned Beles while talking: "You will be the leader of the next generation, sitting in the position you deserve—"

"What?!" Suthis yelled behind Beles.

"Of course you need..." Thetis paused, trying to find an exact vocabulary expression, and finally decided: "...to understand your future responsibilities."

"Don't we have a say in this?!" Surtis hissed.

"But we can take our time. Of course, we must first introduce you to the family and find suitable people to guide you. In fact, we are more than happy to do it ourselves, but—" Thetis looked at Leia before continuing, "So We haven't had a good time for years—"

Thetis stopped talking, sniffed and wiped his eyes, cleared his throat and forced himself to continue: "We have been separated for so long, I don't want to push you too hard."

The last two sentences seem to be referring to Leia.

Or Beles thought it was supposed to be about Leia.

She felt that it would be unfeeling and rude if she asked Leia to let go of her hand.Even Suthis forced himself to be quiet, although both of them disliked this handshake.

"We just hope you can come to have a meal on the weekend? If you can't adapt, then have afternoon tea." Sithis quickly added.

Byles hesitated to speak.They had been strangers so far, and she had no conception of family except her father and mother, whom she had mourned for so many years.Suthis stood silently behind Beles, and the eyes her father gave her urged her to choose the path she wanted to take.

Everyone thinks she should join the family (or come back, which is more accurate) and that's undeniable.She's going to be the head of the next generation of the Seros family (crazy, they're all crazy) and Beless personally has absolutely no say in any subject.

It's too short a time... Byles feels that it's not good for anyone if they stick together immediately.They all need time...to adjust to the new reality.

"Tea party... would be nice." Byleth finally said, tea party is a shorter gathering (hopefully) and more comfortable (or casual, she desperately needs Leia not to hold her hand the whole time next time)

"This..." Sithis breathed a sigh of relief, "It's great, thank you. Su...cough, Beles."

Byles choked again, but luckily the other two green-headed guys in the room didn't care.Her father rubbed his forehead and reminded Thetis: "The guide?"

"That's right!" Thetis read, he had completely forgotten about it, and was a little embarrassed.He explained to Byles, "You do need a guide to help you. We think it's best to have one of the three heirs stay with you for a while. They each have different responsibilities, and know what they mean to you." Plus. And they're a lot easier to deal with than the current branch leaders."

"Then..." Thetis put his hands on the table and asked, "Which heir do you want to choose?"

Byles blinked.

Is this telling her to choose now?

Judging from Thetis' expression, he was waiting for an answer.Yes, that's right, choose now.

【Chapter2TBC】

*"You smell really good.": The original text is "Yousmellnice". In the European and American environment, it is the speech of a 5-6-year-old child who is nostalgic for the taste of his parents. Unfortunately, there is no such language background in Chinese. Let him be regarded as a prince's clumsy flirting. (laugh)
