Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!!

I listened to His Royal Highness and for the first time in a long time I returned to the mansion of the Duke of Pegegrini's house.

With my brother, I dive through the gates.

Here, the servants opened their eyes when they saw me seldom coming back.

"Wi, Master William!?"

"Are you home?

"... bad"

It's like treating a rare beast. My brother said, biting off a laugh, that he was distracted by the attitude of the servants, who were surprised by the grandeur.

"It's been a long time since my brother's been home. You can't help but be surprised."

……

I didn't feel like going home, so I guess I had no choice.

As soon as Liddy and Her Royal Highness get engaged, I don't want to see my father's face or anything that tells me to return my hands and marry anyone because they're good.

If my father would have just nodded, Liddy would have been my wife, and all he would have done was grudge.

- Although the actual Liddy seems happy that His Highness loves him.

There are many opportunities to see Liddy marry and become the Crown Princess. She always laughs at Nico and looks particularly happy when she is with Her Highness. I guess every day is filled with marrying someone I love. Seeing that, I guess I had to marry me or something and think I was right, but I didn't want to admit it so easily. Even if you know you're only recognized as the other brother.

'Cause if you admit it, my ten + year month will be wasted.

"Ha..."

"Brother. I know you don't feel comfortable."

"No, I know. That's what I said. I'm gonna do a good job."

"I hope so."

Take Glenn into his room for a long time.

I thought it was dusty because it had been vacant for a while, but the room had not changed anything from when I saw it before, whether the servant lacked cleaning.

Encourage my brother to sit on the couch, and I sit in the appropriate chair that was nearby too.

……

My brother, I won't say anything.

My brother was leaning all the way down and didn't even know what he was thinking.

After a little thought, I activated the soundproofing magic in my room. I noticed that. Glenn looks up hah.

"Brother..."

"I hung a soundproof magic trick. Now you don't have to worry about being bugged."

……

I knew it wasn't the behavior of being in my own room in my mansion, but I had to let it.

'Cause maybe there's a Sahaja handler at this time right now. If you think they might be listening to me and Glenn, you can't even talk. Then I'm in trouble.

"I don't know if you want to talk about it all."

"Right..."

Glenn nodded slightly at my words.

Still silence comes again.

I heard earlier, about Alec and His Highness.

It was strangely convincing that my father might be able to hang an invitation to betray me from Sahaja.

My father really hates the House of the Duke of Vivoir, and because of that instigation, I couldn't marry Liddy either.

"Glenn, what do you think?"

Potholi groaned, his brother opened his heavy mouth.

"I... to be honest, I'm confused. The thought of no way and the thought that it might be."

"Same with me."

I am well aware of my father's pledge of allegiance to the Wilhelm royal family. But it's as much heat as it is, and it's true that he hates the Duke of Vivoir.

Until now, that equilibrium was critical, and the Wilhelm royal family had won. But Liddy, the only daughter of the Duke of Vivoir family, married His Highness. It is also likely that Father's balance will tilt in a different direction.

"I'd like to believe I won't do anything stupid..."

We can't believe our father like His Highness or Liddy. That's because I see a man named Father in the closest place.

As the two of us sighed, we heard a knocking noise that tended to shy away from the door for a long time.

"What?"

"... Your husband is home. If you're in the mansion, you're ordered to come and say hello."

I realize that I did not say hello to the words told to me by the butler of the mansion. But more than that.

"Are you home? I thought it was still a castle."

"I hear Master William and Mr. Gregor are back, and I see you left a little early"

"... extra things"

"Brother."

My brother embarrassed me but I meant it. Although I ran for my father's watch, which may be betraying Wilhelm, I don't really want to see him if I can.

"Dear William,"

At the behest of the butler, I shake my neck vertically, although I do not accept it.

"Okay. Glenn, let's go."

"Yes."

I'm going out to my father's room with Glenn. I hung up in a heavy mood.

"Father, it's William. Glenn's with us."

"Get in."

Open the door to the room. My father stood in front of the desk and watched us.

"... I'm back now"

"Are you finally home? Glenn, you're good. Go back to your room."

"Father?"

Glenn looks surprised. My father said to Glenn like that.

"I need to talk to Will. You stay back."

"... ok. Excuse me."

My brother backed down and it was just me and my father.

My father bothered to lower Glenn. I sighed in my heart when I knew too much about the reason.

- Anyway, I guess we'll talk about marriage again.

"Will."

"What is it"

"I've told you before. I've been trying to talk to you since Your Highness got married.... Come on, have you decided who to marry?"

"Huh!"

I chewed my lips on the content of a story that was too imaginary.

Still manage to reply.

"... no"

"Can't you decide yet? Come on, Will. Your Highness is already married. If I get along well with Her Highness, I don't even know when the news of my pregnancy will come. Hurry up and marry, and set up a child who will soon be near your son. This is also my duty as the next Duke of Pegegrini"

"... even if they say so, I'm still married"

On the contrary, I just reaffirmed my feelings for Liddy. How do you think you can think of other women or something? He leaned down and shook his neck slightly to the side, his father said irritably.

"Are you still saying that? You're the one, so you're gonna have a hard time I don't need. If this is the case, I should have inherited Glenn."

"... I don't mind that. I told you before. If your father wanted to, why don't you do it now?"

If you don't have to get married, I want you to. There is no untrained retrieval of the Duke's house.

However, if I were to marry Liddy, I was willing to inherit because I thought it would make her easier because it would be easier to feed her if I had the title Duke of Pegegrini.

I can't find any more significance in the Duke than Liddy's dowry to His Highness.

"Don't be silly. Glenn has already decided to get engaged with His Majesty's ink. After the marriage, we are also in the process of getting a title. What can you say about picking up Glenn now?"

"... then you just have to take your adopted son or whatever from the outside"

"There's no way I'm going to do that, even though I have a son named you. Will, come on, my dear, stop. You are not a child either. You know as much as you have to be the next Duke!

"I don't know! I don't want to know!

I knew it was a buying word for a selling word, but it didn't stop.

"The only thing I love is Liddy later or earlier! There's no way I can look anybody else in the eye right now!

I can't stop loving Liddy that she was laughing happily ever after she married Her Highness. Married in that state? Whatever you think, it only results in making them cry. That's how you know my father.

My father says with a face like a scabbard.

"... I know you admire Her Highness. But you can't possibly understand how barren it is."

"Barren or whatever... I can't love anything but Liddy. I don't even think I can love you. Now, if you can watch Liddy laughing, that's all you need. I don't want any more. Please, leave me alone!

It was a heartfelt cry, but it didn't make any sense to my father.

"... if you can't choose. Let's get you the daughter of the kind you deserve here. Will, I'm not gonna let you get away with this."

"Eh! Father!

"At least I tried to let you choose. I didn't mean to ruin my kindness."

"… what is kindness. years, your personality, you've been rejecting Liddy, where everything was fine."

"I am the daughter of the Duke of Vivoir. But you still say you can't help it, so you broke it once. I'm not saying I forgot."

"By the time Father broke it, Liddy was already tied to His Highness. A little sooner, I thanked my father, too."

I stare at my father with resentment. My father sighed in dismay.

"After all the slapping down the mouth. No matter how much you say, it'll be too late."

"Huh! I know! So I am!

My father blocked me from waving back.

"... that's good enough. I know perfectly well that talking to you makes no sense. I will contact them at a later date. Back off already today."

"Father!"

"I told you to back off."

"Huh...! Excuse me."

My father looked at me and bit my lips off.

When I left the room, frustrated by helplessness, Glenn, who was supposed to have returned to his room, was waiting.

"Brother..."

"Glenn."

"The... I..."

From the look on my face, you must have guessed what my father told me. My brother's complexion got visibly worse.

My brother was officially engaged some time ago, having been married to a long-time thinker. Marriage is a little further, but I know I make it seem happy every day.

And my brother also felt sorry that he was the only one who was happy, and he was more reluctant to speak to me than before.

- I hate being discouraged like that the most.

It's like I'm the poor man. [M]

It's harsh.

I told Glenn to shake that feeling off.

"... for a while, magically monitor my father's office. If anything moves, I must report it to His Highness."

"Ah... yes"

My brother snorted in panic at my words.

"- As always, my father's hatred of the Duke of Vivoir was alive and well.... bad for Your Highness, but I still don't think it's surprising that my father made any choice."

"Really?"

"Go back to your room. I don't even know who's listening. Let's talk about this in my room."

"Yes."

Take my brother and go back to his room.

I don't want to think about marriage. I was full of that feeling.

"Brother, I'm... sorry"

On the way back to the room, what Glenn had apologized for was most pissed off.

◇ ◇ ◇

A few days back at the mansion, there was no movement. No one comes to visit my father, every day in peace. But the peace didn't last long either.

One night my father summoned me and Glenn to his room and told us.

"Tomorrow we invite foreign guests to the mansion. You said you were patient, so I'll take care of it alone. Don't come back tomorrow."

"... ok"

Coming, I thought.

My father often invited visitors from foreign countries to his mansion because of his position as Minister of Foreign Affairs. So it wasn't a suspicious move because it didn't surprise me in itself, and it often kept us away, but at this time, I'm pretty much sure it's Sahaja-related.

"... Father. Which country is the guest from?

I usually just keep it quiet and snort, but this time I wanted to ask the opposite because I had prior information. My father raises his eyebrows and stares at me.

"That's unusual. I didn't know you'd ask."

"... somehow, it is. You don't have to answer that."

"I can't tell you who the guest is, but I don't mind that much. It's Sahaja. He wants to talk to me.... Huh. It's pretty predictable, though."

"Sahaja"

- Hit it.

Eyes on Glenn. My brother nodded slightly and told my father.

"Father. Sahaja is currently hostile to Wilhelm, even though it's not very pleasant to say so. Wouldn't it be nice if that Sahaja person and father met in secret?"

"Play. That's why we need to meet. I'm the Minister of Foreign Affairs, right? It's not a very good relationship, so I'll try to meet with that associate and improve the relationship a little bit. I'm not going to fight before the war like you guys, but I have my fight too."

"Really?"

My father embarrassed me sharply, and Glenn shut up.

Our father, who contributes to the castle as a civilian, and us, who mainly go out and contribute to the battle, have a different place to fight. If they pointed that out, there was nothing more I could say.

"Back off if you know what I mean. I'm ready to welcome my guests."

"Yes."

Nodding at my father's words.

Get out of the room with Glenn. I nodded with my brother and I immediately contacted His Highness.
