What? I Actually Reincarnated As Stepping Stone In Another World?-Chapter 22 Lying To A Little Girl?

"Are you okay, little girl?" The magnetic voice was so soft that the little girl fell silent and immediately raised her small head.

Her big, tear-filled eyes looked up at Arthur, who was smiling at her.

"Cute! So cute!"

This was Arthur's first thought when he saw Alice, who was looking at him with curiosity and wonder.

It could be said that he was too vulnerable to the figure of a little sister, whether in the previous world or even now!

Alicia quickly brushed her tears away and continued to stare at Arthur excitedly because the boy in front of her was so handsome, and his gentle smile made her heart skip a beat!

It was as if they had met somewhere long ago and were separated by a great distance and dimension.

This also made her have no feelings of caution or fear when she first saw him smiling at her.

"Who are you?" Alicia asked, got off her swing, and walked around him excitedly.

"Me? I'm the hero who saved the crying little girl." Arthur chuckled and looked at Alice gently.

Alicia immediately stopped and looked at him in a daze, then muttered, "Hero? Hero?" She held her little chin and thought seriously with a very cute expression.

Arthur was smitten and wanted to pinch her chubby cheeks, but since it was the first time they met, he hesitated to do so for fear that Alicia would think him a pervert!

Soon Alicia's face turned red, and she jumped up and down excitedly.

"Hero?!"

"The hero in the book?!"

"So, you're the hero who came to save me?" Alicia kept jumping up and down happily, and she cheered excitedly.

"Yes! I'm your hero, little Alice~" Arthur rubbed her head affectionately, and his eyes were full of pity for her.

In the original story, Alicia was portrayed as a very beautiful, cold woman who hated all men.

Her intimidation, hatred, and lack of love for her surroundings made her sensitive and put up barriers for others to get close.

However, there was one man and one person who were always her goals, and that was Arthur Asvold, or you can say he is now.

And "Arthur," who grew up in an extreme environment, formed a bad personality in the novel.

Whether because of his father's conspiracy, murder planning, and other experiences, "Arthur" is always calculated in doing something. 𝓫ℯ𝓭𝓃𝓸𝓋ℯ𝓁．𝓬𝓸𝓂

Including to his sister, Alicia, who loved him and doted on him.

The innocent Alicia has always followed him since she was a child, but he ignores her and even plans to get rid of her for interfering with all his plans.

However, deep down in his heart, Arthur in the novel loves and cherishes Alicia just as he cherishes Elizabeth.

With relatives and figures other than his mother who loved him sincerely, how could "Arthur" not melt his heart?

However, he didn't want to involve Alicia in his plans at that time, so he always pretended to hate her.

Perhaps this part is also what made him like Arthur in the novel.

However, Alicia, of course, didn't realize "Arthur's" true thoughts at the time and thought her brother always hated her.

And it just so happens that the protagonist, Abel, appears and rescues the kidnapped Alicia heroically.

At this time, the journey of the two of them began until finally Alicia fell in love with Abel, who was fighting with Arthur in the Arc of the Balka Empire.

Who did she choose between her brother, who always hated her, and the person she just fell in love with?

Of course, she took Abel's side and helped him fight Arthur, who had the upper hand against Abel.

Alicia became extremely powerful when she awakened the rare ice core and became "Special."

Plus, her strength at that time was in the elemental nine cores, which were very strong!

so that Arthur finally lost and died at the hands of Abel.

However, at the time of his death, he apologized and poured out all his feelings to Alicia, leaving her shaken and her heart feeling like a knife.

However, everything had already happened back then, and no regrets could be repeated.

Now, seeing such an innocent and cute figure made him not want to let her suffer.

Moreover, Alicia was also the biggest help to Abel in Balka's Empire arch!

throwing one stone and hitting two birds, right?

Arthur thought to himself, and subconsciously a triumphant smile appeared on his face.

"Abel, ohh~ Abel~"

"Just wait for me to make you suffer and beat you so badly!

"Who made me your stepping stone, right?" Arthur laughed evilly, and the more he thought, the more he could feel that his stepping stone would disappear, and he would become the real protagonist of this world!

Alicia did not avoid being rubbed by Arthur and enjoyed it with a smile on her small face.

She felt very familiar with this scent and rubbing.

However, she did not know when exactly it happened, and she quickly discarded her thoughts.

She immediately approached Arthur and gave him a hug without realizing it!

Arthur didn't expect that Alicia would be so bold as to hug him—this was even their first meeting, right?

However, he immediately hugged Alicia back and rubbed her gently.

"Don't worry, this hero will protect Alicia."

"So, Alicia can't cry anymore, you know." Arthur said so with a strong and comforting spirit for little Alice.

"Hum! Hum! Alicia won't be afraid anymore!" Alicia nodded her head, and her eyes took the shape of crescent moons, displaying her pleasure.

Soon, Arthur let go of Alicia's embrace and said softly, "Well, I have to go first, little Alice."

"Go? Where are you going, hero?!"

"Can't you be with Alicia forever?" Alicia said this sadly, and tears appeared in her eyes.

Arthur felt guilty for pretending to be her hero.

"Well, I have a little business to save the world!"

"So, I have to go first, little Alicia," Arthur said seriously, but in his heart, he felt so ashamed to lie like this!

"Damn! It's so embarrassing to lie to a little girl like this!" He cursed in his heart.

However, after hearing this, Alicia's eyes lit up, and she spoke excitedly.

"Alright! Alright! Heroes must save others and the world!" Alicia jumped up and down happily, and she hugged Arthur excitedly.

The corner of Arthur's eye twitched, and he could only sigh in his heart.

"Well, I'll go first, little Alicia." Arthur pinched her chubby cheeks and smiled softly.

"Hum! Hum!" Alicia nodded excitedly and let Arthur go.

Arthur smiled and was about to turn around when Alicia's voice stunned him.

"Hero, will you return to Alicia?" Alicia looked at Arthur with a hint of sadness, and her big eyes contained a very deep loneliness.

Arthur felt like his heart was suffocating, and he felt the figure of Chloe inside Alicia!

Immediately he rubbed her hair and said softly, "Of course, little Alicia, I will go back and play together then. How about it?" Arthur spoke softly.

"Alright, Alicia believes in the hero!" Alicia giggled and smiled.

Arthur was relieved after seeing that he didn't hurt Alicia.

"Alright, I'll go, little Alicia~" Arthur smiled softly and walked into the mansion along with the old maid who was waiting for him at the end.

"Bye! Hero!" Alicia waved her hand excitedly, and finally, Arthur's shadow disappeared in the direction of the mansion.

She immediately put her hands down and continued to stare in the direction of Arthur's departure.

Suddenly, her eyes changed and were replaced by an icy white color.

"Brother? Is that you?" Alicia, who used to have a cute and cheerful face, turned into a woman with cold eyes, and her gaze never left the direction Arthur was walking.

But she soon came to her senses, and her cute face looked confused and dazed.

"Eh? What happened?"

ραпdα n?νa| сom "The hero has already left! I have to go back and wait for him to come!" Alicia giggled and walked back to her room.
