The Villainess is Changing Her Role to a BroCon

"Your grandfather is really nice. And your great-uncle."

Ekaterina smiles.

That's your grandfather. Moore, the manager of the restaurant I went to with my brother in the Imperial Capital, told me that your grandfather liked to develop talent. Was Mr. Reisa also your grandfather's nurturing frame!

Hobbies and talent development. It's really meaningful, Grandfather.

"Lord Sergei was still his son by then, not your lord. But back then, it was that one who had already ruled the territory. It was Lord Sergei who forced the wealthy house of the territorial capital to take the child. He was my benefactor."

"Well... that's your grandfather."

If your great-uncle Isaac was eighteen, your five-year-old Sergei grandfather would be twenty-three at this time. If it was my last life, I'd graduate from college, my first or second year as a social worker, my age when I was only in my first years.

So this competent lord is plentiful. That's just great, Grandfather.

By the way, Mr. Reisa, who was eight when your grandfather was twenty-three, is probably fifty now? Doesn't look very much like it! I mean, maybe when I was younger, I looked like an adult, and I saw myself as the type of person whose appearance age hasn't changed all the time.

"But Lysa's great, too. Even though you were still young, you had more discernment than the adults in line. I can't believe you didn't make fun of my great-uncle with everyone and explained it to me."

"I'm afraid so. But I was just a kid. I didn't know anything about it."

You are a good explainer. I don't know much about laundry, so if I see you again, can you tell me a lot?

Yes, Master Sergei told me, so Eight-year-old Lysa became the top of the table.

The next time I see you, I want to tell you a lot. I totally floated and thought so and worked more tenaciously than ever. I even asked him how to wash the Duchess' clothes, which he still couldn't leave to me. Women's clothes are difficult to decorate.

And I wandered around the garden if I had time. I hope to see Master Sergei.

How much that wish has served the heart of a child who has lost his family and lives alone in an unfamiliar environment.

But. When Master Sergei showed up in the garden as he wished, he rushed over and Reisa hesitated. Though I didn't know the word social dictionary yet, because adults sometimes knew there were times when they would say things they didn't even have in their minds to please the other person as long as they did. Is there a reason why such a fine person would want to hear about laundry from a child?

Lysa's thoughts are perfect. But Master Sergei smiled and waved when he found Reisa.

'Lysa, it's good to see you. Do you have a minute?

And Master Sergei, he really listened to me about the laundry. I was impressed with the laundry room amenities, as well as rumors and relationships about the downstairs. He didn't just ask, he even asked me questions and if I found out because I wanted to know something like this, would you tell me again? Reisa answered Master Sergei's question at best by becoming more and more tenacious, asking people and listening to the stories around her. We met in the garden many times and talked. The topic spread outside the laundry room to various downwork departments.

So I cut the story, and the current Risa smiles.

"Ma'am, do you have any idea what that meant?"

As for Ekaterina, I just have to laugh bitterly.

"Your grandfather... you had Lysa in your eyes."

If I put it harshly, I could also say that I was spying on you. At the time, there must have been some suspicion. For Sergei, who would not otherwise be able to exchange words directly with downwork, Risa's gaze of an expedient child without any intention or relationship smugness would have been an unattainable source.

It's a little monstrous. Grandfather, you used pure children naturally... I guess I was in a position to use people at birth. But at twenty-three years old, can you imitate that?

Lysa looked at him a little unexpectedly and smiled, hehe.

"Consider how your child feels. Kind...... That Lord Alexei takes care of your daughter so much because this is it, isn't it?

As I've heard, you're really smart. What Lord Sergei has done is natural if you can be Duke. I'm just glad to have been of service to you, such as a laundry woman.

And after all, it resembles Lord Sergei. That one, too, did an improbable job on the laundry lady. "

"Does Lysa want to learn to read and write?"

'Yes! If I wrote to you, I'd be more helpful.... but it's a luxury for a laundry woman, isn't it?'

Next to Sergei, Lysa nags. The hands that look down, they're all over the place. Still, I'm lucky to have food and a bed.

It had been several months since I had come to Eurnova Castle. I am used to this environment and to my work, I do not interact with Sergei, but I am proud, and I still consider myself a happy person. Though I thought so, I knew that little by little, the desire had sprung up that I didn't want to end up with a laundry lady.

"You're a smart kid. And all the way, I always work hard. I enjoy talking to you."

Sergei, who said so, said something surprising the next time he saw him.

"Lysa. Leave the castle and be a child of a house I know"

I have a house that has spawned the knights of the Knights of Yurnova for generations, but I lost my two sons in the line of duty while they were both knights, still unmarried. My depressed parents were going to keep the house going, but they still missed me, and they started wanting to pick it up and raise it if it was a girl. A boy would really raise him to be worthy of a knight, but a girl, she said, would stay by her side forever if she took a son-in-law.

'But I can't do it. I will be disappointed'

If it's a knight's house for generations, there's no way Reisa and the others can take it. You don't have to be from a poor rural village to choose as many adopted children as you want to hang from.

But Sergei smiled.

'That's what they say, you're good.

Besides, I want you to be the kid in that house. And when I study and get into a lot of things, I also want you to come to this castle and work in a different position. 'Cause I'm comfortable with you.'
