Given That I’ve Become a Villainess, I’d Like to Live Freely

"Brother, excuse me.

I was summoned to come to my room by my brother, William.

My brother, who called me in, looked serious and looked at the paperwork on his desk, not me.

"... Eric, I hear Rose is missing.

"... eh!?

I had a little while to figure out what my brother was talking about at first.

Because my brother uttered words that didn't make sense.

"As soon as Rose went shopping with the samurai, she said she hadn't come home to the Duke of Winsley. I mean, reports are coming that I didn't even get back to the carriage I was calling to pick you up.

"... so are you searching!?

"Well, of course, but the Dukes are looking for it in general. I also reported to my father to turn the knights around. Later, Rudolph too."

My brother is strangely calm when he says Roselia, who is always adorable, is missing. What's so different about it is that I don't see a wrinkle between my eyebrows.

"Rudolph is originally close to his brother, so I don't mind. Brother..."

I finally talked my gaze out of my desk in the wind of 'What?' and looked at me.

"How can my brother be so calm?

My brother is always kind and excellent as a royal and liked by the people. I was proud and envious of my brother like that.

My brother often invited a different girl from his fiancée, Miss Sophia, to the castle after I said terrible things to her. That was Roselia, a tree-eyed girl who was grown up as if she had been beautiful and objectified somewhere.

I made Roselia look like she was very cute like her sister and enjoyed herself with Miss Sophia. Roselia joined along the way only her family and Miss Sophia had ever been able to vegetate.

That's how much I cared about Roselia missing. I was wondering why I wouldn't disturb you.

"... that I'm... calm?

A low voice like crawling through a land I've never heard before.

I couldn't hide my upset because I couldn't imagine it coming from my older brother in front of me.

"Oh, brother...?"

"Eric, you think I'm... calm right now? You think so?"

"Uh, yes, no..."

That didn't happen. I really want to take the lead in finding it myself. But I was just trying to be cool because I understood my position.

I'm an idiot...

Isn't it possible to stay calm?

Roselia, who was so adorable, is missing. My brother loves and cares very much for those who can serve vegetables.

That's why I shouldn't have said that... Being my brother, I should have understood, but I said the wrong thing.

"Oh, brother, I'm sorry.

"... no, I messed up too. I'm sorry.... I'll report it to you as soon as I find it. Later, there was something else I called in today.

It was shocking to hear from my brother after this.

Miss Elena, who is following me well, thinks her brother is suspicious. I was wondering if Miss Elena had anything to do with Roselia's disappearance this time.

I couldn't believe it. Miss Elena from me looks pathetic and doesn't seem to be able to kill bugs, but my brother also told me that Roselia is being harassed by Miss Elena.

"... no way."

"I know it's not a good idea to make a decision because I don't have any evidence yet, but I want you to let me know if she does anything suspicious.

"... okay.

I can't believe it, but I don't want to go against my brother, so if I saw anything, I would tell him right away.
