The Villainess is Changing Her Role to a BroCon
Dmitry Yulsain
"Huh..."
Opening the velvet box and looking at the glass pen, Dmitry let out a sighing voice.
Ekaterina smiles unexpectedly. The moment I saw it, I sighed, and it would be more praise than a million words.
Dmitry took out a glass pen one by one and stared carefully before clasping it in his hand. You seem to imagine the feeling when writing, and you seem to love the feeling. Blue-green and black twisted pen, luxurious gold colored pen, and a beautiful goddess pen.
In the clear beads wrapped in waves, I grabbed the sleeping goddess of beauty with my gaze.
Fufu, Dmitry laughed.
"Ekaterina... your craftsman understands beauty." Yes, a woman's appearance is most beautiful when she is taunted by hidden parts and falls in love rather than when everything is revealed. It's really good, isn't it? "
"I'm glad you praised me and my famous uncle."
Ekaterina chuckles.
Besides, Alexei unexpectedly reacted.
"Ekaterina... where did you hear about this reputation as a gentleman?"
Ekaterina thought to herself, ah, to her brother, who was frowning with anxiety.
I heard that from Khalil, the head of commercial distribution. Dmitry and I seem to be close friends, and he taught us a lot when we met on the delivery of a glass pen. He is a good merchant, a hobbyist who likes beautiful things, a proud person, and a sociable person who likes to socialize.
However, there is a problem or handicap, and it seems that Lord Dmitry's wife cannot show herself in front of other men. Her Ladyship, who was the princess of the great country beyond the "mountains of the gods", still adheres to the custom of the country of birth. It is said that this was the condition given by the Father King when he sent the Princess to marry a distant foreign country.
It is essential for men and women to participate as partners in the socialization of the Imperial Kingdom. Parties at other houses are for couples. In addition to that, the wife of the nobleman must entertain the visitor as the mistress if she is to hold a party herself. But even if she throws a party at the Duke of Yursain's residence, she can't even go out in front of visitors.
In order to cover the handicap, for some time after his marriage, Lord Dmitry often called on "women who are good at entertaining people" and entrusted them with the hospitality of visitors, while holding a glamorous event that was different from the usual party. The refinement is so eccentric that it sometimes lets out the guests' heroes, and sometimes roars the kings and princes. It seems to be a bit of a legend in the social world of the Imperial Capital.
Then, it seems that he was placed at first sight by the royal prince of another country and became a friend, leading him to the position of the current Minister of Foreign Affairs. Therefore, bliss is like a bruising rope.
The proud person's reputation has been around since that time.
However, in addition to meaning people with good tastes, this word also means that it is a "pass" in such places as the Hanayanagi world or Hanazono.
In fact, Lord Dmitry seems to be extremely popular with the woman. But you are by no means a player. Halil strongly said that it was the beginning of popularity that women who had asked for hospitality in the past were treated courteously and the reward was handed over generously. Besides, they were able to meet customers on the edge of the Yursein family's event, so they praised Lord Dmitry, and he was rather an in-law.
If you betray your wife and put your hands on another woman, your wife's brothers and princes will tell you to chop your head off. It seems that it is good to take multiple wives and treat other wives equally, but that is not possible in the Imperial Kingdom.
Anyway, I don't think it's a good word for the lady to know. Shit.
...... the idea ran through her head in an instant, and Ekaterina laughed at her brother.
"Oniisama, I hear that reputation can be heard from nowhere. It's called rumor of the wind, etc. I'm sure that the words of the Wind Spirit (Silfeed) who praised your uncle came into my ear as a bunch of wind."
Dmitry laughs high.
"This is a delightful word. If the wise and gentle Ekaterina and the Wind Spirit (Silfeed) were men, they would have whispered praise to you and had no way to hear my reputation."
"Oh, that's a nice thing to say. Thank you for your pleasure."
"... I'm pretty sure Lord Dmitry has an excellent sensibility."
Alexei said it gracefully, but his mouth is slightly loose. I was in a good mood to be praised by my sister.
Dmitry nodded several times after trying to write all three glass pens and checking the smooth taste and the number of rows that could be written in a row.
"Not only beauty, but also practicality. This glass pen must be used even in the countries beyond the" Mountain of the Gods "."
Well, I'm glad! If that's what you said, I'm sure of it.
It was a masterpiece of Lev, and I was confident that Mr. Halil, who was from there, had told me about selling it to another country. But if Lord Dmitry, who is good at trading with those countries, can say something like this, I'm sure of it.
Someday... my dream will spread.
“Is Ekaterina interested in other cultures? If you like, I'll take you there once."
“It's true, how lovely!”
Traveling by boat? Sailing on a sailboat? Seeing a Caribbean pirate sight live?
It's too nice!
"Ekaterina"
Unusually, Alexei, pale enough to see, called his name, and Ekaterina returned to me.
"Lord Dmitry, thank you for your consideration, but this child is sick and weak." Traveling to other countries, etc., very "
Is that so?
Dmitry looks confused. Ekaterina looked fine in front of her, so I took it for granted.
Alexei took his sister's hand.
Ekaterina, do you want to go to another country?
"Yes... if oniisama will forgive me..."
"Oh dear," says Ekaterina.
And Alexei shook his hand with both his hands, and spoke seriously.
"If you want, I want to make it happen." But no sea lanes. It's too dangerous.
As soon as your ship sails to the ocean, the Sea Gods will storm you to the palace at the bottom of the sea. Your brilliance fascinates both gods and demons.
The people of the sea, with their scales and their fins, will greet you with joy. The Sirens will fall in love with your songs, learn your songs, and become even more seductive. All sailors are captivated and all ships are wrecked. It's a yujiki situation. "
Oniisama...
Anything (Froshiki) is spreading too much.
I just said I wanted to go to another country, and all the ships were shipwrecked... Too much damage spread in Cisco. Excellent imagination, oniisama.
Ekaterina chuckled.
"It's impossible for a sea god to cause a storm for me." But I was wrong. I know it's nice to visit another country, but there's no other place I'd like to be than oniisama. I'm not coming anywhere. "
"Ekaterina..."
Alexei shakes his voice.
It seemed that the dormitory at the edge of the line of sight was holding back the laughter with all its strength, and Ekaterina did everything she could to avoid noticing.
"I would recommend this glass pen as a gift from my wife to my father, so I can order another set." If you let your second son hold it and submit it to His Majesty, you will be very happy. "
Ekaterina rejoiced at Dmitry's words.
"Your grandson is going to deliver a gift from his beloved daughter who married a foreigner." That must make you happy. "
"Next time, come and see my wife." Every building my wife lives in is her native land. I can feel like a foreigner while I'm in the Empire - Alexei can't be invited, so it's another chance. ”
"Well... I'm glad. It's an honor to meet the Princess." Oniisama, forgive me? "
Alexei smiled and nodded to his sister, who asked her brother for forgiveness.
"Of course, I'm glad to have the exchange you deserve." Your workshop is even more honorable. Glass pens will be a covetous object for the nobility of that country. ”
In response to Alexei's words, Dmitry suddenly laughed.
"The birth of the only [coveted item] in the Empire is a real pleasure for my family... You are wonderful, Ekaterina." From now on, it would be nice if we could be together as a family, including our sons. "
Alexei got grumpy for some reason.
After that, after a little more talk, the siblings quit the Yursain residence.
"Say hello to little Halil."
At the end of the day, Dmitry tells me that, and Ekaterina looks out.
What kind of acquaintance do you have with Lord Halil?
"The youngest son of the Kamal Chamber of Commerce has been with him since he was only a child. Magdalena, who had been a friendly child since then, liked it and invited her to join her subordinates, but was captured by Lord Sergei, who caught her in the seat of the Commercial Division Advisor in Yurnova. Magdalena has always regretted it, but I'm sure Lord Sergei will be the only one who can do such a bold imitation as giving such a position to a teenage boy."
"That's right..."
So, Halil-san, the Empress and Grandfather got acquainted with each other...
Awesome!
"And Grandfather, you really didn't choose the means to acquire talent..."
