After a conversation with the King and his wife, the Vlage brothers and sisters immediately boarded the carriage and headed back to the castle hall.

In the car they were piercing silence without even looking at each other, but as they arrived at the Castle Hall and through the front entrance door, Cruseldo looked back and stared strongly at his sister.

"Serenia! What are you doing!

"If I hadn't done this, your brother would have married someone he didn't want."

Serenia glanced at her brother, clasped her shapely lips, and said so pointing.

Cruseldo continued his words of reprimand, suppressing that he was likely to be daunted by his businesslike attitude.

"I don't care about me or anything. Screaming in front of a lot of people about such things as not being able to have children... This will scratch your future! How frivolous!

"Nothing, I don't want to get married"

"It's not a matter of wanting or not wanting to. If you're not really going to, you just have to be free. I blame you for discreetly scorning your honor. So you thought I'd be happy to thank you."

"Wasn't your brother the one who was careless? As it were, you'll know what would have happened if you'd married the person your majesty had prepared. Eighty-nine, Vlage would have been taken over by the Queen's nobility, wouldn't he? That way, everything your brother built and rebuilt is a bubble of water."

"I don't need you to turn a blind eye to that. Besides, there was any way to deal with the Queen's daughter in an attempt to force her to do so."

"For how much... Still, the act of inviting enemy humans inside the mansion is determined to be dangerous. Your brother could have put himself at risk."

"So I told you you didn't need to distract me. He told me to think of myself rather than being trapped in all those chores --"

In response to the words of Crusade, Serenia erased her expression from her face.

A childish, obstinate face transforms like a bright white, neat doll, looking up at Crusade.

This was my sister's reaction when she was seriously angry.

"... that is. Do you mean I don't have to tell you about Vlage's whereabouts or your brother?"

"It's"

Crusade clogged the words.

Serenia is an important sister who has supported each other long after her parents died. How many times have you been helped by her presence? So I'm not willing to turn my sister away from him or exclude him.

But I couldn't say otherwise and affirm her abandoned behavior.

"That's a little too much. You are also a Vlage person. I have the right to be heard in the decisions of the consular government and the principals. But I also have a duty as your guardian. So he said that excessive devotion was unnecessary..."

"So you want me to just sit by and watch your brother get abused by those people? No, not really!

Shake your silver hair, and Serenia screams. Binocular shook like a rough surface of water and some Shizuku spilled off. That wasn't the tear of lies I showed you earlier.

"Suddenly, succeed the housekeeper. As the previous king tells me, accept the deaths of your fathers. Be in a good mood for those who insult us. Stay close to undesirable people.

... I've been watching your brother shred himself for eight years. So, you can't possibly not break your heart. Yet you still ask me to be patient? "

"We should have suffered some disadvantage beyond succeeding the housekeeper and reaping the benefit of it. Sacrifice is too much."

"Benefit? What did your brother gain by inheriting this house? It's all about archery of swordsmanship, even if you have time, and you don't have a big hobby, and if Brother Riselle doesn't invite you out to play. I've never seen your brother seem to enjoy himself since he became the owner

I don't know if it's my first love, but I'm not playing with one woman on fire!

"... eh. That won't matter!

Feeling signs of the wind direction of the conversation flowing in a strange direction, Crusade rushes to modify the direction.

But my sister did not condone anything.

"Yes! How pleased I was to hear two years ago that your brother had a woman to heart. He said he was looking forward to his wedding day, believing that he would surely give his brother peace.

... Yet. If you come with your brother, give up as much as he said no once!

And when I was about to ask him if he was that angry, Crusade whispered.

My sister is quite excited. I could imagine in my previous experience that if I were to bathe in extra words here, she would triple and return them.

Mouth fighting was always, overwhelmingly, more advantageous for Serenia.

"If your brother hadn't bothered to welcome that person, things like today couldn't have happened either. It's all your brother's fault!

"Her family is clearly turning me down. You can't possibly welcome her in the first place, even if you blame her that way."

"If you really like that person, you should have grabbed him even if your family disagreed with him. And that was the hand that took advantage of the Duke's position and forced him to be a bride."

"... Serenia. That's just such an idiot-like imitation, there's no way you can do it."

"Then why are you still drooling untrained!

Katan, and the painting that was hung on the wall drops.

At the edge of his sight, he saw a servant who was trying to escort two people at the front door, desperately getting smaller and leaning over his face trying to erase the signs.

Serenia stopped by her brother without compromising her momentum.

"Your brother still can't give up because he hasn't been able to convey his thoughts to that person or confirm his feelings. It's not hitting or crushing, so all the untrained pile up.

So make up your mind. Again, would you abandon your shame and apply to that person for marriage? Or shall we be wives of the women whom they have been given? "

To put it all out, Serenia exhaled small, huffing and rubbing her eyes. Tears were already dry, but the area around her eyes was red and swollen.

After making sure that what was burning up in her sister calmed down somewhat, Krüsseld slowly and quietly opened his mouth to avoid irritating her.

"It's you... In the first place, there is a very good chance that he will say no to me if I sign up for marriage again."

"Right. But then, your brother will be able to crush it thoroughly and wash it away beautifully untrained. It's much healthier there than it is to keep bothering you with nothing."

……

To my sister's spicy words, my brother had no hands or feet.

... but her words determine who she is because it's all the same thoughts that Crusade had inside.

Pretending to be thoughtful, I pulled myself away as soon as her family rejected me. Even though I was blessed with the opportunity to meet her by chance, I left the scene without exchanging any great words.

At that time, if I had acted out of conscience and glory, would I have achieved a different result by now ——

Because of those thoughts, they're still tied up untrained.

"If we're going to take action, we should hurry. Because today, I'm just, um... surprised at what I said, and you just pulled back on your own."

By now, he began to feel ashamed of the many bold statements he made in a series of nightclub venues.

Serenia blushed around her eyes as well as to her cheeks, leaning down while keeping her mouth down.

"Soon we'll be talking about your brother's marriage again."

"--I know. They're the kind of people who bring up stories about their fathers in places like that. I don't expect you to give up on this."

Crusade finally accepted her sister's words and nodded.

If you don't do anything, they just eat you.

The truth is, we should have made a decision sooner. Because I was running away from that decision, I gave someone else a gap to get into.

The amount of time Serenia earned me by throwing me away isn't that long either.

The time to make a decision was near.
