“Oliver, where's the zoning policy dossier that your brother did last year?”

"... oh, my Lord Theodore"

Oliver, a servant of Arnold, inadvertently blinked at the Second Prince Theodore's question.

Theodor and I met in a bowl halfway down the corridor from the Palace to the main castle.

It is now a relatively early time, before 9: 00 a.m., when Theodor would have slept in a prominent place in the castle.

"Sometimes it's unusual."I didn't expect you to ask yourself a question. "

"I don't even like to ask you."However, it's a material I really want to look at when I'm on official business, and my sister-in-law says it's better to ask Oliver..... "

(I see. Leechee-sama's suggestion.)

This Second Prince has long hated Oliver.

Because Theodor worships Arnold.

But Arnold kept his brother away.

Therefore, Theodor has been playing a lot of pranks to get his brother to want to be bothered.

All of these things were harmful, but if Arnold himself moved, they would all be solved quickly.However, Arnold was also thorough and had Oliver take care of everything.

Theodore's mischief has been dealt with by his deputy, Oliver, not by Arnold, who wanted him to see it.

That's why Theodore still hates Oliver, who is nothing but an intruder.

It is impossible that such a Theodore would ever come to Oliver to teach him anything.

(...... My treatment of His Highness Theodor was stubborn.Leechee arbitrated and settled it, so that His Highness Theodore would listen to your future sister-in-law.)

Convinced inwardly, Theodore distorted his neutral look.

"I'm telling you, stay on your feet, Oliver."

"... and say..."

"Your knowledge of your brother is only local."

If Oliver were to do anything, Theodore would come arm in arm and look up at us.

"I'm only asking because you know more about official duties."But I'm definitely more familiar with your brother. "

"......... fufu"

"Hey!! What are you laughing at!?"

"No. I tried to survive this..."

Somehow I suppressed my laughter, and instead I made a smile as a servant and stood up for Theodor, the royal family.

"Excuse me." Your Highness Theodore is too cute.Well, you know a lot about me, My Lord Theodore. "

"No matter what you think, you're making fun of me!"And don't call me "My Lady" because it's disgusting! "

Hahaha

All the brothers say the same thing.Looking at it with a smile, Theodore glared.

Why are you so ordinary, by and large?

Normal, right?

"In the past, you used to look at me with cold eyes."Even though you're my subordinate, you're thinking of me as a "disturber", don't hide your face. "

"Ahh..."

Oliver nodded because he had a clue.

"Your Highness Theodore was only an obstacle to you."

……

"I'll let you get away with anything that gets in your way."even if it's your brother who split the blood. "

"... hmm"

Theodor, who was slightly dumbfounded, made a slightly more grown-up, sober expression.

"I can only admit your loyalty to your brother."

"Oh, it's an honor to compliment you."

"Ugh, but that leeway is annoying."Just let's go to the location of the material!! "

Theodore screamed briefly and suddenly grabbed Oliver's hip.

If you think so, you will be turned around and turned around in the direction of the training ground.I wondered what it was, but I understood by looking beyond the corridor.

My Lord

……

Arnold is walking towards us.

Theodore noticed his beloved brother approaching and hid behind Oliver, who he could not help but hate.

As an elderly person, it would be pathetic to abandon this.Oliver hid Theodore on his back and smiled at Arnold.

"Welcome back, how was your training this morning?"

"As usual."

After a faint reply, Arnold stops and looks at Oliver.

Correctly, he sees his blood-splitting brother hiding behind Oliver.I don't have an expression on my face, but I can tell if I've been a follower for ten years.

…………

(This is the face that says, "What are you doing?"...)

Oliver smiled bitterly and looked back at Theodore.

"Your Highness Theodore, my brother."

"I know, I know, I'm hiding, idiot!!Without a proper preparation, if you let Reiki's brother in this morning, he might fall in the worst case...!! "

"Oh, that's embarrassing."

Previously on Theodor, it wasn't this far.

It seems that this excessive reaction comes from the confusion of "I don't know how to deal with my reconciled brother".And since you don't have to hide your admiration for your brother, you'll be confused.

(It's true that Leechee-san also said, "If your brother is dying, please help him.")

Oliver put his hand on his chin.

"My lord. As a matter of fact, Lord Theodore has a sleeping habit on his forehead, so please fix it by pressing your forehead against your back... it hurts!!"

I grabbed my waist as hard as I could.Apparently, Theodore didn't like this boat.

"Oliver, don't be serious about anything other than taking care of your brother...!!"

"I'm sorry, I've assigned all my life priorities there..."

"It's annoying, but I can trust you!" Damn it!! "

Arnold's eyes were slightly lowered as he wondered what was going on.

And then you open that lip.

"... Theodor"



Theodore's body jumped in horror.

"What... what... elder brother?"

(Oh, you're trying to pretend to be as calm as you can be)

However, as usual, they were hiding behind Oliver.

“I saw last week's report.After applying your policy, it looks like the crime rate in some of the lots has dropped. ”

"Ah... that's just a little down."Even if it's reduced, it's only because of theft and pickpocketing. "

But we do see improvement.

……

Theodore grabs Oliver's jacket again.

"... if you work normally and don't have to worry about what you eat tomorrow, there's no one to steal your favorite food."

……

"That's why it's natural that it's effective."I just naturally stretched out my hand to reach out as a royal family. "

Oliver knows what Theodore is trying to say.

You probably think that what you've done is trivial and that you won't even be praised by your great brother.That's why Theodore is so sorry and so awkward.

(But)

Oliver giggles.

(You don't understand.)

As Theodor said earlier, Oliver has a higher level of knowledge about Arnold.

"What His Highness Theodore has done is very impressive."... hey, my son? "

"Oh, stupid Oliver! Do something extra..."

"--That's right."



Theodor is breathtaking.

"You've met my expectations."

".........!"

Oliver was a little surprised by what Arnold had said.

(I never thought you'd compliment me so frankly...)

Speaking of which, I overheard Leechee preaching to Arnold the other day to Theodore in more words.

(Is this also due to Leechee-sama?)

Arnold continues to do so with a gentle gesture toward his brother.

"...... please continue to encourage me to the fullest"

"...... Ugh......"

Theodor's hand clinging to Oliver suddenly leaves.

"Yeah, brother.... I'll do my best."

"Ah...... Oliver"

Yes, it's time to come.

Without waiting for Oliver to move, Arnold starts walking toward his abandonment.Oliver looks back on Theodor before continuing.

"Thank goodness, Your Highness Theodor."

"Ah, shut up...!!"

If you're going to cry, I'll lend you my back for a while.

"Who cries on your back?"And I'm not crying anymore. "

"Hahaha"

But Theodore's ears were red when he lowered.I stopped touching it because it was pathetic.

“Let's get the materials you're looking for to your space later.”

"Hmm....... I... asked for it."

"This is... this is..."

Really, you've become quite honest.

I'll thank my future sister-in-law later.

"That's why you don't have to tell me...!!"

Oliver laughed heavily, but as Arnold looked back in the distance, he walked after him.
