I Became the Villainess’s Brother

Fortuna and Prince Huddle-Imperial-Windiria face each other in the heart of the gorgeous royal palace hall.

There was a blonde girl standing next to the prince.

You can't see your face from here, but you must be a 'brilliant as a gem' heroine.

Fortuna, with its beauty from an early age, was more prominent in its beauty now that she was fifteen.

Glossy dark hair flows saggily, reflecting the light of the chandelier and brilliant, and white skin as smooth as snow.

Pink tourmaline-colored eyes, however, are so cold that they seem to freeze to the bottom of your mind.

When the dark-haired Fortuna and the blonde heroine face each other, it's like light and darkness.

The invited guests stare far-flung to surround the three, whispering in the shadow of a hiss and fan.

"Fortuna-Jackberry. I'm breaking up my engagement with you!

Prince Huddle stares at Fortuna so as to shelter the blonde girl.

Fortuna doesn't move though.

Close the fan properly and smile gently.

Both Prince Huddle and the people around him took a breath in that smile.

"Fortuna!"

I scream my best.

But I don't have a voice.

I can't even move from here.

I can't do anything with my sister's culpable event happening right in front of me.

All I could do was watch.

Fortuna's saying something, but I can't hear you.

And Prince Huddle's voice.

But I only found out why this was the worst route.

"I will never forgive you for not only trying to put this one of my loved ones in my hands, but also for trying to make even King Windilia a deceased, to lead the kingdom into chaos.

Fortuna-Jackberry... I will punish you for your jewelry!

Fortuna didn't move, even if he was stuck in ruin.

"Run!

I screamed, knowing it was no use.

There's no way you can get away with this.

I know.

But I didn't want to lose my sister.

Fortuna's body turns into the same gem as her eyes.

With a smile on his face, Fortuna is transformed into a gem, shattered and scattered.

And since when have you been there, even your father and mother turn into gems.

The cries of the Father's Terminator echo in the hall.

Even my brother was turned into a jewel.

Shattered gems pour down the hall in glitter.

That sight, as beautiful as diamond dust, only brings despair to me.

"Dear Langley......"

Eldor!

Eldor calling me is in front of me.

He grew slender and taller, growing from a beautiful boy to a beautiful young man.

As always, he shouldn't be guilty of anything, even if he was here now, of continuing to serve me.

But I can't move.

I don't have a voice.

Prince Huddle points to Eldor.

No way, even Eldor?

Why? Why?

Please stop!!

My scream never reached me, and Eldor, who had been turned into a gem, smashed to pieces in front of me.

"Master Langley!

Someone had been holding my hand for a long time.

For a moment, I didn't know what happened.

I see a good looking ceiling.

"This is..."

"It's been a long time."

Eldor gives me my back when I wake up.

It's my room.

It's a dream.

It's just a dream.

But I can't stop palpitating.

My back was wet with unpleasant sweat.

When I breathed somewhat, Eldor rushed to bring me cold water and a change of clothes.

It's all right.

I'm just a kid.

Ruin is coming. The game starts when the heroine is fifteen, which means I'm sixteen.

There must still be time.

But...

"Are you still in pain?

"No, I'm fine"

What if a future of ruin awaits that will involve even Eldor?

I was going to do every single thing I could right now, and I thought as long as Fortuna didn't even become a villain's warrant lady, I'd be fine.

And Fortuna was reassured somewhere so far because she's a really sweet girl, the opposite of a villain's warrant lady with a bad personality.

I thought I'd notice it as soon as I got the wrong high-flying vibe.

Fortuna always comes to my side, and I'm on her side, too.

Sometimes I've told you to stay away from Prince Huddle, who has the most impact on the ruin of Fortuna.

I'm a Duke's maid, so even my engagement story with the near-old Prince Huddle could wake up in it.

But if my sister clearly says no, my parents who are drowning my sister won't be forced to get engaged.

The House of the Duke of Jackberry has a demon mine.

I have no trouble with power or money.

So if my sister isn't attracted to Prince Huddle, then the engagement should be avoided.

And while this is something I shouldn't be too happy about, Fortuna doesn't like magic.

Fortuna, the villain warlord in the game, excelled in witchcraft, and was also nicknamed "The Lacquered Witch" and "The Everlasting Dark Devil".

If you're Fortuna now, who doesn't like magic, I don't think you'll ever get that nickname.

Even as the prince's fiancée, it's almost imperative to be able to manipulate magic.

Because the Kingdom of Windilia is the companion of neighboring kingdoms of Montedyne and dog monkeys.

I hear that the royal family requires strong magic in order to manipulate warcraft and to cross equally with them in the future who even possess the magic of darkness.

There are other duke houses besides the Duke of Jackberry that have a warrant of the Prince's age, and they will be in the Marquis and Count's houses.

I'm thinking that my sister's suicide route and the jewelry sentence route would be avoided if I didn't even get engaged.

Fortuna looked in trouble when I asked about Prince Huddle.

I don't think Fortuna will ever be attracted to Prince Huddle so far because he seemed somewhat uncomfortable with the royal family.

But more clearly, I may have to look into things to crush the future of ruin.

... Though in my dreams, I don't want to see everyone shattered again.

◇ ◇

"Dear Langley, Mr. Leebearznei is here"

"My mother?

"Yes."

Unusual.

My mother always knitted in her room.

My mother, who appeared with her servant, is still beautiful today.

The dress, with fine lace embroidery, is gorgeous yet not overly flashy, adding a soft look.

"I'm sorry you came all of a sudden"

I think Mother, who smiles with a decoy, looks a lot like Fortuna.

Pale shades of habitual hair make Riley but pink tourmaline colored eyes, tricks and faces are Fortuna.

Eldor brews Erali tea.

Her mother delightfully narrowed her eyes to Eldor, who chose that tea without saying anything, because of her unique tannins and slight sweetness.

Actually, I need to talk to you.

"Is it to me"

"Yeah. Fortuna and I are best friends among brothers and sisters, Langley, aren't you?

"That's right."

My eldest brother, Oliver, ruled a small territory bordered by neighboring countries, to the point of showing his face to this mansion several times a year.

My second son, Brother Rupert, lives in a dorm at the Royal Windilia School and still returns to the mansion a few times a year.

In this state, there's no way my siblings are best friends except me.

Brother Oliver, Brother Rupert, when you come to the mansion, you are very cute about me and Fortuna, so if we lived together, we would always be spending time together.

... but for some reason, I used to assume that my brother and my parents hated me.

I also feel that I had a rejection for the kind mother in front of me.

Was it a period of rebellion?

"Do you know that Fortuna can't handle magic well...?

"I hear you don't like practical skills"

"Yeah, I do. Does she have a note? I think I've memorized all the spells I've been taught."

"He's smart."

I think Fortuna is too smart for a kid that age.

You shouldn't wear it if you're unwilling to be in person, no matter how many teachers you have, although you have a patterned tutor named Duke's House on you.

Fortuna is smart because of her hard work.

"The reason Fortuna can't handle magic well, are you listening?

"Why can't I handle it? No, I don't know."

Since Fortuna rambled her magic, her magic classes have always started to be taught by two magic teachers.

It's basically Dr. Credil, who was originally a Fortuna magic teacher, and my magic teacher, Dr. Joshua.

And when one of you two can't get out of class, you're never supposed to have a practical skill class.

If the progress of the class is significantly delayed, contact the Magic Instructor Guild in advance and a replacement Magic Teacher will be dispatched.

Fortuna should have been made to teach more practical skills classes the other day instead of going to Arianne's house, but it should have been taught by two teachers, Joshua and Credil.

But since the class content is different between me and Fortuna, I'm not taking the class together, so I don't really know how her practical skills are going.

"It's not like I can't use magic at all. If it's magic to yourself, it can be used properly. Just..."

"Just?"

It's like you can't use magic on people.

My mother softly lays her eyes down.

... Could that be my fault?

Fortuna's magic storm made me wander the border between life and death.

But it was almost a year ago.

I'm right, I remember my previous life and I'm full of energy, and it's the reason I distracted myself during Fortuna's magic chant in the first place.

There's nothing Fortuna cares about.

But Fortuna is sweet, so I guess she got sick...

"If only Langley could take a magic class with that kid. You're good at it, aren't you?

"A healing system would do it."

I'm good at healing and defense, junction systems, etc., but change and attack systems are a tease.

It's not like I can't anymore, but it takes a terrible amount of time to activate, and the effect is soggy.

It is the difference between the healing magic and the cloud mud, which can be easily used to breathe.

"Yeah, I think the healing system is fine. I wonder if I could show you some magic in front of that girl. If you can't handle magic like this, you'd be anxious to get into school, wouldn't you?

Maybe you want to do something about Fortuna's trauma by showing me that I can handle magic, right?

But as far as I'm concerned, I don't want Fortuna to be able to handle much magic.

I don't think it's me.

If Fortuna's worried because of me, I'd like to do something about it.

However, Fortuna's inability to successfully use magic becomes quite advantageous as a means of averting a future of ruin.

I don't want to make you feel any harder, but it's much better than a jewel sentence.

"Mother, let me think for a moment"

"Well..."

My mother opens her eyes slightly as if it were a surprise.

If I hadn't known the future of ruin, I'd have understood nothing.

"I have no problem taking classes with you for Fortuna. But don't you think we're gonna have to hunt her down?

"Hunt him down...?

"If only I can't handle magic well in my family, won't I make you rush?

Admission to the Royal Windilia School is not determined solely by good or bad magic.

Academic achievement is also a big part of it.

I have heard that Fortuna is not good only in practice and is very good on the contrary with no problems at all leading up to other subjects.

If you're using magic on yourself, there's no first thing you can't enroll in, so why don't you take a look at it a little more? "

"Yes..."

My mother's eyes peel.

Sorry, Mother. I didn't meet your expectations.

But eventually, it's for Fortuna.

I'd be a cold brother if I were to save her.

And I won't quit blowing up the air.

"Mother. Does Mother love Father?

"As, well, Langley, all of a sudden, what do you say?

To a question so abrupt, my mother nearly dropped the fan.

"Because I haven't seen you around much lately."

On some route to the future of ruin, my mother cheats on me and leaves the Duke's house.

Abandoned by his beloved mother, Father runs unfairly against the royal family, further obstructing and twisting the original complex.

But I betrayed the Duke's house and jumped out, as did my mother's parents' Earl's, cheater (?) I don't think anybody else would be safe.

I'm sure it's game correction around there, or my father loved my mother too much to retaliate.

"Master Engald and I can't stay together much lately. Looks like you're really busy..."

"Leave Fortuna to me. Why don't you go to your father's mansion in Wangdu?"

Though it would be a short drive to the Wang Capital if you took a high-speed demon wagon, Father has been unable to return to the Mansion these days.

The Wang capital also has a separate mansion, so I'm spending time there, but if I see my beloved mother, I'll blow my fatigue.

If Mother and Father could stay together as long as possible, I'd feel like I could crush the ruin system of the cheating route.

'Cause while my mother in front of me is confused, she seems happy to blush her cheeks.

The game setup supposedly used the power of the Duke's family to forcefully welcome the Count's mother to his wife.

However, I feel uncomfortable having four children, and more importantly, my mother's eyes on my father seem very loving.

I don't like gorgeous places, and I don't even think my mother, who stays at a minimum of socializing and relaxing in the room, would cheat.

If something were to happen, I wonder if it would be time your father wasn't on his side because of some circumstance.

So I want your mother to stay with your father as long as she can.

I strongly advise you to stay with my father. "Well, I'll think about it," she said, blushing her cheeks and leaving the room.

Yeah, now you've got one ruin route, can you turn it off?
