My father looked sinister at Leon, who said he would marry Silvi.
"... don't be silly, Leon. You must welcome the princess of the good house to your wife and have the Marquis Lievert set up. What are we going to do with each other in marriage?"
"Nothing, it's not forbidden, and I don't think you mind. Wouldn't it be nice if your stepfather stayed in this house forever?
"That's not what I'm talking about. You pick up your wife from the outside, and Silvi makes her daughter-in-law into the house she deserves. Will you both do your part for the Marquis Leavert?
"... Yes"
He was Leon, who had been a little silent, but eventually nodded in such a way as reluctantly.
Leon is grateful that Silvi's father took it from him. I have a desire to return the favor. And that was the same for Sylvie.
Until this year, I have lived without liberty because of the asylum of my father and mother.
Silvi understood that. It is the first time that a noble lady or other useful marriage of the house is of value. I know it's my duty to marry my father as much as he wants.
That said, though I really want you to spare me from marrying Arthur. But if Arthur caught me, and my father ordered me to marry him, I understood too much that my wife would have to be whatever my thoughts were.
Sylvie, what about you?
"Of course, I'm just like Leon. I will do as your father says."
So I just have to answer Sylvie like this.
My father nodded loudly, satisfied with Sylvie and Leon's reply.
"Hmm. Good if you know what I mean. Anyway, it's time to select Silvi's fiancée as well. I promise I'll find the best for you, so don't worry."
"Yes......"
The best opponent. It was Silvi who definitely thought it would be about Arthur, but I can't say I don't need it.
Staring at his superior father, Silvi was really on his way to do something.

"Sister."
My father told me I could go back to my room, and Silvi quit the field with these bodies, but I was stopped by Leon when I went out in the hallway.
"What, Leon?"
"... is your sister really going to marry someone she's going to have on her father-in-law?
Steamed back the story, Sylvie said in the guise of calm, even as she was upset inside.
"Absolutely. Leon, you don't either, do you?
"That's true... but"
Leon looking up at Chirali and Silvi. I've grown taller lately, but still Sylvie is taller. I couldn't take Leon's gaze as he stared, and Silvi turned away.
"... sorry. Looks a little tired. I'm going back to my room."
"Sister."
"Aren't you tired lately, too? You should get some rest."
"I'm not tired.... Something's bothering me."
"What do you care?
When Leon asked back, worried about the way he said it, Leon laughed.
"I feel like my sister has been avoiding me lately. Did I do something to disturb your sister? I always thought we could be close sisters and brothers, but I wondered if it was my solitude. You don't talk much, you don't talk much, you miss me."
"Leon... I can't believe I'm avoiding you... I love you all the time. My dear brother."
Leon in front of me looked so small that Silvi accidentally gave it back.
Listen to Silvi and look like Leon is happy.
"Really? Good. I wonder what I would do if my sister hated me. Well, come visit me in my room for the first time in a long time. I want to hear a lot about your sister."
"... that, is..."
Leon took the story well.
What I told Leon is true. But you can't go to Leon's room with the flag on it, even if it's daytime.
What we have in front of us now is not my brother, but an offensive character to avoid.
Sylvie said clearly, even though she thought it was a very lonely thing to do.
"I'm sorry. It's true you're tired. Next time, well, your father can turn it over and have a cup of tea with you in the garden. Then I'd be happy to go out with you."
"Sister......"
"Leon, study, good luck"
Ending the story somewhat forcefully, Sylvie turned her back on Leon. Walk slowly and gracefully so that you can see as calmly as possible. I didn't want them to notice you were running away.
But in words hung from Leon, Silvi stopped by surprise not much.
"Hey? That means you're a little bit aware of me, right? I'd be so happy to do that. Don't worry, sister. I'm fine. I'll take care of it. You don't want to marry someone you don't even want."
