The Villainess is Changing Her Role to a BroCon

"Welcome home, my lord, my lady. Thank you for your safety."

The brothers and sisters who returned to Eurnova Castle were welcomed by Alexei's stomach Novak with a rare expression of relief. Knights Chief Rosen follows Alexei, but Treasurer Kimberley and other executives, housekeeper Reisa of Eurnova Castle, are with Novak.

but Kimberley and Risa are out of line. I can't help it.

"Welcome Daiichi. As you can see, Ekaterina is safe."

"... Brother, please put me down..."

In contrast to the upbeat Alexei, Ekaterina says in a likely vanishing voice.

She was being held by Alexei. It's a princess hug.

"You're tired, Ekaterina. I would have slept in the carriage the whole time."

When Alexei said as he told him, Ekaterina turned bright red.

"I'm ashamed of you. I can't wait to borrow your brother's shoulder and fall asleep..."

Cover your face with both hands and look like you want to disappear.

It's a luscious picture of a beauty bored with embarrassment, but it's just strangely smiling, probably because the people around her know her boundaries and personality well. Besides, from the executives' point of view, Ekaterina is the age of a child or grandson.

Nevertheless, around Novak and Rosen, who do not move into this, something may be sensed.

"I told you to sleep more often, so is there anything to be ashamed of? I was happy to see your adorable sleeping face in my arms, because I slept in peace. Come on, let me take you to your room. Just take the day off."

"Brother, I will walk myself!

To the words of Alexei, like a gentleman, take your hands off his face, Ekaterina says in a resolute tone.

but Alexei didn't mean to.

"Everybody, just go to the office."

Put that aside, Alexei leans to her room with her sister in her arms. The maid Mina and her servant Ivan followed her, as well as the housekeeper Risa, after trying to control the servants so that the Duchess' mistress could not be crippled.

"Your brother is too sweet for me!

The last thing I could hear was Ekaterina's voice about to cry out and Alexei's rare laughter.

"... to Your Excellency, sister, you are exactly the balls in your hand. Once again, thank you for your safety."

Kimbalay, the treasurer, says smudged as he heads to the office. He has a big eagle nose on his bald head, a fit for a treasurer and a strict appearance, but he has always been a favorite to Ekaterina.

"Really."

The nod was made by Rosen, the Knight Commander.

"But for a lady, that's all it's worth"

He left after Alexei, who led an advance team of light riders only with the highest priority for rapidity, leading a group of heavy equipment assuming every situation. Alexei, who reunited with Ekaterina and made sure she was safe, sent Rosen a decree to stop the march and rendezvous with Ekaterina the next day. Although Rosen followed Alexei's return after the flow of

When I joined Rosen, I saw the Knights' real heavy gear, and Ekaterina was stunned.

Assume all things, in which case the Knights carry gear that can also counteract dragons (although Xuanlong was just unexpected) and giant composite beasts (Kimyra). Despite the pre-assembly state, the beauty of the latecomers carrying stone throwers (catapults) and giant crossbows that eject arrows close to spears was as if the army itself was headed for the Siege Battle.

"Dear Brother... Lady Rosen... for me, this kind of... so much power, too much..."

Ekaterina said grate, but when Alexei told me, I immediately got a look that fell to my heart.

'Ekaterina, this unit needs time to move. If it could be necessary, I decided I should move it first.' Cause it's not too late to get ready after you're clear on what you need. '

'You're right, you're right. If you don't know the details, you shouldn't be afraid of excesses. I said something stupid.'

Both Rosen and the deputy knight captain Gardia - father of the knights Oleg and Erik brothers and husband of housekeeper Reisa - who listened to the conversation together were somewhat surprised by Ekaterina's words.

"The lady may even have knowledge of the law of war. I'm not a lady in line."

Rosen tells Kimberley. For an oligarchy him, he has a lot of mouth.

No, Ekaterina's words weren't a military law, but because of her understanding of dealing with system failures when she was doing SE in her previous life. Nevertheless, as a historical woman, I read war books, Sun Tzu's military laws, etc., so even if it doesn't hit me, it's not far away.

In addition, Ekaterina was once again impressed by the Knights because after that she asked questions about the flying distance and power of the stone thrower (catapult) and the crossbow, the durability and production costs, the maintenance costs, etc., with an exciting look. Regardless of the power, I was wondering if there would be any other warrants that would pay attention to durability and maintenance costs.

"The story has come that the lady swept the monocular bear in response to the people's plea on the substitute road."

Novak came into the conversation as well.

"He said that the bears he had captured had given to the poor inhabitants and had done magic even to improve the fields. The story is spread throughout the territory, and among the common people, the popularity of a beautiful and merciful young lady is climbing eels."

"Monocular bears... sweeping warcraft is what that gentle one did bravely"

Kimberley opens her silver eyes.

"But if it's for the poor common man, I nod. Even when we talked about it before, I was impressed by the gentle and intelligent temperament of the poor. It would also greatly contribute to Your Excellency's rule for a lady who is willing to support you to the best of her ability."

In the second half, words directed at Novak, I presumed that Ekaterina's good deeds were spreading in the territory, partly because Novak was spreading them deliberately, and that was what it was supposed to be.

Was the young lady fifteen years old? Even though you are so talented, feminine and lustrous in appearance, the way you admire your brother is so innocent at a young age. It is impossible for His Excellency to be so dear. Girls are weak. "

The last word seemed to whine, and Novak saw Kimbalay in the way he remembered something, but withheld from saying anything.

Without waiting much longer, Alexei, who gave Ekaterina a break, appears in the office where the executives wait. Head to the heavy executive desk you're used to using and bury yourself in the leather chair that Ivan pulled, Alexei said.

"I have two things to tell everyone. The first point, a temple was sent down in the mountain temple. When the volcano in the territory erupts nearby.

Second point, Ekaterina said she encountered Xuanlong on her journey. "

All the executives were out of line. Knights Commander Rosen had received reports from Knight Oleg about his encounter with Xuanlong, but the eruption was his first.

"That's... well done. You're safe."

Novak, who managed to get back on his feet, says.

"But I wonder why the Xuanlong, who had disappeared after learning of the plantation attempt, appeared before the lady."

To the words, Alexei said in a grumpy manner.

He asked Ekaterina to marry him.

The executives are once again stunned.

To them like that, Alexei briefly told them what was reported by Ekaterina.

"... met the god of death, the maiden of death, on the outbound route, in the mountain temple he was given the temple of the eruption, and on the return route he said he was encountered with the Xuanlong...

The lady's had a rough trip. "

Though put together, Novak rubbed his temples with a tired look.

"Anyway, let's hold back the cost of fighting the eruption. The scale and timing of the situation are unknown, so far it will be to the extent of checking the boundaries of the preliminary expenses."

"Oh. Let's wait for Forlìon's report and consider it again"

Alexei nods to Kimberley's words.

Then I turned my attention to Rosen.

"Another matter though. As a measure, I would like to consider enhancing the Knights"

Immediately Rosen nods.

"It's a difficult opponent even with current heavy equipment, wondering if we need to develop new weapons. Something highly destructive with gunpowder..."

"Please wait"

Novak stopped the exciting conversation.

"I wonder if Xuanlong deserves a thought as a place for the lady."

"Say what! Can you do that girl to something that you don't know how to do!

Alexei vehemently rejected Novak's words, but Novak didn't move either.

"If we can take in the existence that we are also comparable to an army in a single country, let's talk about it that is of great benefit to Yurnova. If it was a beautiful appearance, then the young lady is not a fool either.

Besides, you can live in Yurnova territory all the time without letting your daughter go far away. On top of the shape, if you live in a castle with Xuanlong as your son-in-law and easy to come and go, we can all protect you from sight.

On the contrary, if you turn Xuanlong to the enemy, how much will it wear off? The cost of armament enhancements is enormous. Compared to Alexandra's costume and music, "

……

Alexei gets stuffed all the time with irrefutable words.

In Novak's last word, Kimberley nodded. Kimberley is the oldest of the current executives, after Forlì, the chief forester of agriculture, and a heavy town of aristocracy with its own Viscounts, but he does not thoroughly dictate to the consular government in his role as treasurer. Kimberley's view also weighs in for Alexei, as he is a difficult person and someone his grandfather Sergei trusted, while what holds the finances often holds power as well.

"Khalil of the Imperial Capital wrote to me, but in the social world of the Imperial Capital, His Highness Mikhail spends his summer vacation in Yurnova, so let's bring it up on the topic that your daughter is the destiny of the next Empress."

"Ku......"

To the words Novak continues, Alexei uncommonly reveals his impatience. From the time Emperor Constantine told me he wanted Mikhail to spend time in Yurnova territory, I knew he would see it that way around him, but when he was asked this way, I was still angry.

The Imperial Family wants Ekaterina. Nevertheless, it doesn't narrow down the options either. The way Yurnova can't resist, he's loosely burying the outer moat. Exactly clever.

"If you respect the will of a lady who doesn't want to marry the Imperial Family, the Imperial Family is also a difficult opponent to speak to, and Xuanlong is not precious. Not a choice, of course, but as an object of consideration, I was wondering if there could be."

Alexei is looking away. He looked like a solid child, not the usual expression of a competent lord.

And I hear a small laugh.

"Excuse me. But your lady's charm is a tough one. The Queen's throne and the courtship of the legendary dragon, which people contend for, on a scale… isn't it a mythical world?"

It was Kimberley.

"As for your engagement, let your daughter's feelings also be crucial. If you have a young side that you would like to be on your side for a long time, it would be nice if you didn't do as you please without much sorting.

... Girls are going to daughter-in-law sooner or later, but sometimes unexpected things can happen if you think so. I was wondering if I could keep an eye on you so you don't regret it... "

It's rare for Kimberley to have an opinion on anything other than finance, and Alexei looks a little surprised.

Novak opened his mouth, but ended up silent. All I know of this is Novak, the nearest age, but Kimberley once mourned his only daughter with an epidemic disease. He should have been only ten years old.

"Right. Everything is exactly what she wants. Now, that kid tells me he wants to be with me. If you feel different one of these days... then I'm going to give you what you want."

Alexei said in how he finally defined his feelings. Squeeze.

"That kid tells me he wants to be with me more because it hasn't been a year since I met him.... The day I first met that kid was the day I lost my mother. Because of me...... and yet that kid is sweet"

Exactly no one, I couldn't speak up.

"His Highness Mikhail will arrive shortly. I'll be busy with the eruption, thank you."
