Little Tyrant Doesn't Want to Meet with a Bad End Chapter 1: What a Darned Sweet Death Flag I Have

“Her name is Alicia. She’ll be your little sister from now on, Roel.”

In a lavishly decorated room stood a handsome, yet frail-looking, middle-aged man. He held on to the hand of a silver-haired girl as he introduced her to a well-dressed, black-haired boy who stood before him.
