Life in Another World as a Maid Mage
02 Brothers of the House of Horeva
Brothers and sisters. That said, Branch Manager Paul has plans for the afternoon.It is no exaggeration to say that I went to Tris mostly for business talks with Theori, and I plan to leave for King's Landing tomorrow morning.Therefore, I could not afford to go out to dinner slowly, and it was a dinner party in the cuisine that I brought from Clementine's shop.
The table in the reception room is lined up with cuisine where hot air rises.
"Eat pie and stew together."
Clemens turned to his brother after watching the clerk instead of the waiter smile and thank him.
Although his brother Paul is similar to Clement because of his hair colour and facial expression, he doesn't look very familiar because of his different skin colour and facial expressions.Not many people realize that they were the two brothers who were helped by it, and even the clerk who was confronting them like this didn't see it coming.I must have thought this meal was a meal for the chairman and the guests.
"Ah, here it is. After all, the corner rabbit is limited to the Trisval region."
Paul looks happy with the stew of a corner rabbit.
I was surprised when my lunch request said, "Have a gastrointestinal friendly home-cooked meal in the Trisval region," but recently they've decided to choose a dish that cares for their body and is less burdensome for their stomach and intestines.He laughed bitterly at the fact that he had a lot of dining at work and that his stomach was exhausted when he was dealing with a customer with a group of gastronomists in Wangdu.
"The rabbit over there is fat.When I first ate here, I was surprised that there was no smell or grease at all. "
"There are almost no natural enemies around King's Landing and it seems to have a different diet.It must be easy to fat.It seems to be a luxury product. "
"I think it's easy to eat rabbit meat for sale.My uncle said that in the old days, even around King's Landing, he was able to catch a small hare with an elegant taste like bird meat. "
"There are a lot of towns and villages around the exterior wall, and the environment seems to have changed a lot.The number of vermin has decreased, but there will be some harm. "
In the meantime, Paul seemed to be eating slowly as he chewed.It seems true that I started caring about my body.He used to have a good appetite, and this year he is thirty-five.Laughter on the corner of the eyes and around the mouth engraves slight wrinkles, and silver hair changes to dull and dull shades.
Nearly twenty years have passed since the three brothers and the Chamber of Commerce had dinner together while talking about their future.Perhaps the eldest brother is old enough to have grandchildren, and he, his younger brother, and his forties are near age.
- We're old. We're old.
"... Krem-san. I knew you weren't going home anymore."
Paul, who had stopped eating at some point, said it was dull.
"You're a good brother, aren't you? It seems that many people consider retirement or transfer after their mid-thirties.As an adventurer, I've sold a lot of names already, and I can get enough seats for the Chamber of Commerce.If you're willing to do that, I think you're going to be crazy. "
If Wang Dynasty, which is familiar with the past - has a lot of people who know about the past incident, there is also a seat for the representative of the overseas headquarters of the Enandel Chamber of Commerce, which is planned to be established in the future.There were expectations in my brother's eyes, but there was also a color of abandonment.
Paul, who grew up almost like a twin when he was younger, knew his brother's answer without really asking.But if it was possible for just a few things - I must have thought so.I really want you to come back.As a boy, they talked to each other many times with great dreams about how to maintain and nurture the future business association.Of course, the future was meant to be with us.
(... speaking of which, it was Paul who kept me until the end when I left the house.)
The name of the Horeva family was injured by the "little sense of ability" of his familiar daughter, Clement, a younger brother who was furious with the boy's peculiar cleanliness and sense of justice that he shouldn't be muddy and that he should close all deals.Clemens knew that the anger that his generous brother usually displayed was not less than a disappointment with his daughter, who was secretly thinking.
--It drives people, it's love, gold, and lust for honor.Who even said that there would be no crime in the world without it?
She was also supposed to be a brilliant and intelligent daughter, but because of her love and desire, everyone committed a stupid act of surprise.
If nothing had happened at that time, Clement would have gotten along with his favorite downstream noble daughter and Paul would have gotten along with his childhood acquaintance.
But Paul also told her that if she didn't like it, she wouldn't be forced to marry.Because I knew she had someone else to think about.Paul realized that her brother, not herself, was the person she wanted because she was born into a business relationship and had been dating since the beginning of her life.It was understood by both parents and was said to prioritize her feelings.
But she hung herself on the balance.No, I hung it on the balance and it made me want to get both.
She still liked Clement, but it was a matter of time before Clement had someone else to think about and the feeling of the other party was not bad.There is no way to interrupt between two people who do not hate each other - but it is a pity to kick off the marriage with the Holeva family, which runs one of the kingdom's long-established estates.
Clemens is much better off living together than a noble lady with the same civilized and familiar childhood.
We can still make it now.
She thought that because of the hurry, love and lust drove her judgment mad, and she caused things to happen.
Clement herself was alarmed because she was familiar with the children and because it was a night party hosted by the House of Horeva.I was drunk by the alcohol she handed me, which was not supposed to be strong, and was drunk over and over again (...) in a room brought in as a hug - the memories for the next few days were actually vague.
However, I can only vaguely remember the words of my daughter, who resisted a great sense of exhilaration and ecstasy, "I've always liked Creme, so please, choose me", and the adults, who said, "I endured it well", "I'm fine, we both were beautiful (...)."
In the end, she was neither brothers nor fiancées, and her family was banished from the social world.He was not guilty because the "aphrodisiac" he used was a legal fertility medicine - of course, it had no effect on the pregnancy itself, but it was just a kind of catalyst to facilitate things.However, it should not have been overlooked that the drug was intentionally used at a higher concentration without the consent of the other person.Medicine can be poisoned if it is misused in quantities and dosages.
This "legal aphrodisiac", which was secretly traded among the upper classes of young people, was regarded as a problem at the time by those who used it for a meaningful purpose.Some people fall asleep as their memories fly back and forth like Clement, others have severe headaches, nausea and other adverse effects on their physical condition, and regulations should soon be tightened.There seems to have been a succession of cases involving the use of this drug in the sons of good families, including the Third Prince, who disappeared a few months before this incident.
In any case, although she herself was not guilty, she was punished commensurately for losing her social position and married a merchant far from King's Landing when it was almost cold.
She would have been unintentional herself, but she had no choice but to mud both the Horeva family and her biological family, who were allowed to enter and exit the social world.For some time now, she had a reputation for pillow sales with aphrodisiacs, but her family had even followed the Holeva family.
The malicious rumor that the second son of the Horeva family was an instrument in the pillow business, eating customers and colleagues with that beauty, was unbearable to the boy who was only eighteen at the time.I had no choice but to disappear from the front stage - it didn't take me long to think there was nothing more to do than to leave the house.
Hey, Clem.
I can no longer remember her voice or her face when I called her.However, fortunately, now that I'm pretty happy, the medicine in the name of time probably worked.
And, perhaps, myself.
"... I feel sorry for you and your brother.I have caused a lot of trouble for myself.But I like this job almost as much as I thought.More like Tris' water than I thought.I want to continue this business as long as my physical strength permits. "
The boy's admiration of being an adventurer for a familiar red-haired young man (Blaisak) set Clement on the path. If you're interested, why don't you try it?I'm just teaching a guy your age.Why don't you come with me? He invited me to say so, and the chestnut-haired boy who was brought in at that time became friends for life.My once beloved, dark-haired colleague is now like my sister.
And the fairy strawberry blonde witch...
"I don't want to let go of the people I built here. It's hard to get away."
Paul opened his pale eyes, then blinked several times and smiled slightly.
"- I see. This is the house for Brother Clem now.Then... yeah, I won't say any more. "
That said, Paul understood Clement's thoughts, laughing a little lonely.
"Instead, I'll keep asking for more information (good stories) than my ears.Thanks to my brother, I acquired a rare technology (freeze-drying technology), and I was also able to connect with the East, and then there was that mysterious powerful beauty.I want to ask her for a model again. "
A good Nadia has been a wearer model for a handling brand only once.Paul and I don't know each other in that relationship.
"... Nadia?"
Clement, who drank the remaining wine from the bottom of the glass, laughed slightly.
"For my part, I don't want people to see me too much."
"What is that?"
Paul leaned his little head, but laughed at what he saw the next moment.
"Maybe, Krem-san... about her?"
"... I won't deny it."
I honestly thought she was a good woman.My sister's skin is nice and windy. She's a clean woman.The figure and tone were lotus leaves, but there was an unseen cultivation and the beauty of the work, which further enhanced its appearance.And smart in her emotions, she looked after well and had many admirers.Of course, so are men who fall in love.
Clement herself had spoken several times when she was young.She had the impression that she was curious, but she realized her noble nature and withdrew herself, so she disappeared naturally.Just leave me with the title of (...) close associate.
(And perhaps - she was also at fault)
Sometimes I realized that I looked at myself somewhere far away."You look just like your old acquaintance.I understood what her gaze meant when I felt her past from my conversation with Zach. "
"He's the wife of my dead best friend."
There are only two men Zach calls his "dead best friend."If so, the approximate identity of the forgiving wife can also be understood.
--The former Marquise's daughter, who was going to marry his country's royal family, cannot assume the role of a new lover who is a civilian.I was young and immature enough to think so.
And Nadia also seemed to have been struck by her own past.Moreover, if I had seen the shadow of the dead bride overlapping with the living (Clement), I would have even suffered a loss.
We were too young for each other. He was an immature person who swallowed nothing but turbidity.That's why the love that was growing pale was broken there once.
But not now. After a lot of experience, I was confident that I could take her hand now.
Clemens swore that if he gave me another chance to unilaterally cut off my thoughts while letting me worry about it once - the next time it wasn't different.
"... I see. I see..."
Paul nodded many times with emotion.And he gave me a bottle of wine.
"I was worried because I was too old for that manly gesture.It's too much because of what happened.But now I feel really good. "
"It took me a long time to catch my stomach... but I haven't even conveyed my feelings yet.Actually, I just lost love last year. "
With a faint glance, Paul rebuilt his expression in the form of a smiling smile.
"--That's fine. I realized that there were a lot of people that my brother wanted to walk with in his future life.I want to celebrate that first. "
Lift and toast the poured wines to each other.
May the future of each other and all those involved be warm.A glass of wine with such wishes and prayers waves gently, bouncing at the edge of the glass to reveal a rich aroma.The sweet and bitter scent disappeared with a deep finish as the brothers' laughter echoed.
