Beware of the Brothers - Chapter 19

One month has passed. Everything went on in a new way, in a blink of an eye.

“This is really crazy….”

But isn’t it too bad that it’s already been a banquet day? I complained for a while and then shook my head as I woke up.

As soon as I left the room door with my heart resigned after the preparation, I could see Erich and Ethan standing in front of the door.

Erich is still staring at him to see Ethan as if he doesn’t like him, then turns his head towards me.

“Huh, it looks like a watermelon that grow a little on to a pumpkin.”

“Did you mean I’m pretty?”

“Pretty… who’s pretty? I just said it’s worth watching more than usual.

“Hey!”

I raised my voice as if Erich was sneaky. This bleak guy. I saw all the expressions that he was surprised when I opened the door.

Of course, my aesthetics had to grow a little longer to get a full shine, but I was pretty enough now, especially than when I was young, like a spiky tree branch, and I could say I was really grateful now, and I was right in the Queen Arabella costume room.

My dress that I ordered to this party is also pretty.

It was also Queen Arabella, who was worth worthy of shooting a wedding dress through a huge competition in the future.

And compared to 10 years later, it is not so much known at present, so it was not so competitive in making this dress.

Anyway, for today, I’ve had a lot of excitement and hope, and I was pretty subjective and objective.

“Sister Hari!”

Louise and Johannes have arrived.

They’re on their formal attire. As soon as I went down to the ground floor, I could see them just stepping in.

“Louise, Welcome. Brother Johan too.”

We were going to meet in advance today and move together to the place where the banquet is held.

“Hari, you’re really pretty today.”

Johannes, who came to me, smiled and reached out my hand.

It wasn’t true. The light was shining on Johannes, dressed in a suit that gave a white point to match my dress.

Erich, who was next to him, frowned as if he weas unhappy, but couldn’t help it. Because my escort today was decided to be Johannes.

Because of that, it is early to say that the Cabel is firmly twisted and goes to the banquet hall today.

He left the house saying ‘I can’t see the unlucky man escorting you until I get dirt in my eyes!’

In the meantime, it seemed that he went through back of the door and running out of the door with a sound of cursed.

Wow, to be honest, it was a bit annoying.

Good god, this is why I don’t know who my real brother is and who is not my brother?Anyway, that stingy guy.

Later in the banquet hall, I have to pretend to know when you stand.

Hmph, Erich, I’ve been doing a good job studying him these days, and this guy is trying to get out.

It seems that it is time to crack down on the second brother.

Anyway, that’s when we boarded the wagon and headed to Kazenta Hall where the banquet was held.

Eugene went to pick up his fiancé, Rosabella Velontia.

I noticed that he was somewhat unpleasant to have a separate entry from us, but that was natural.

So as we have a banquet, It would be possible to meet only in the intestine.

“Are you nervous?”

The light of the banquet hall was visible from a distance. Johannes asked me, staring out the window.

“A little bit.”

In fact, it wasn’t easy to experience something like a banquet, but I was nervous because it was my first time attending a banquet held at Kazenta Hall.

Moreover, this is a banquet held for us, right? Ugh, it’s strange not to be nervous.

“It’s okay. Just do as usual.”

Finally, the wagon stopped. The door opened, and a gorgeous world unfolded before my eyes.

Johannes, who came down first, always reached out to me with a smile that made me feel comfortable.

“Because I will always be there.”

I looked at his face for a while, then soon followed him, smiling and overlapping his hands.

As soon as I entered the banquet hall, I felt a focused gaze. Everyone was nagging and navigating us.

It wasn’t the first time we all showed up together at such a big banquet, so it wasn’t unreasonable to get everyone’s attention, as I’m in the second of life!

Of course, at first, I was a little nervous to enter the great Kazenta Hall, but when I came in, the familiar atmosphere gradually eased my mind.

Um, does it feel similar to other banquets except that the banquet hall is very colorful and grand?

I grabbed Johannes’s hand and walked on the red carpet.

He looked at my face a bit anxious at first, then soon gave him a little surprised look at what I seemed to look like, but to worry about me, it would have been better to care about Louise with Erich.

“Wow, this is the first time a gorgeous banquet hall!”

But what kind of lady Louise is. Bold, she was amazed with a little nervousness.

Cool Luck, when I look at that, sometimes Louise is actually a little suspicious of whether she is a second person of second brother.

Oops, while entering the banquet hall, I found Cabel.

He had a face that was very distressed whether he would come to us or not, but maybe it was different, and he was staring at living person next to me.

Those who were pressed by his vicious energy one by one, they screamed away, and his surroundings were empty.

So it easily caught my eye.

Oh, how do you do that? in a Ball, you can’t. Let’s just soothe it before the banquet begins. Secondly, the atmosphere around the brother is ugly!

If I leave it as it is, it’s clear that that dreary energy will spread throughout the banquet hall.

“Brother Cabel!”

I smiled wide as I pretended to find him. Then Cabel looked at me with a prickly expression. The rumbling around is even more grew.

“You’ve been to the banquet hall first. Come closer here.”

I called the second brother that was still poking out.

Although he was in an sulking state right now, I was convinced he would come if I called.

As expected, Cabel came to me as if he had waited for my call. Right, right. Doing well. Come a little closer, a little closer.

I’m like catching wild animals as I waited for Cabel, feeling like a hunter.

“Oh, when are you going to go or not in fast stride, I’m not sure?”

My brother was so fast that there was no bird to catch. You know how fast Cabel’s feet are.

Erich, too, was standing firmly in front of me, saying that Cabel was firmly pinched at me, and grumbled again, saying,

‘Hey!’

Actually, the second brother is, he’s unnaturally slow.

He walked out of the mansion grumbling, but I was bothered and soothed him as if I had never pretended to know the second brother anger.

Then the simple Cabel plucked again and quickly lifted his head.

“Hah, I’m a little fast, long, fast! How can I not? In my undergraduate running competition, I’m the 1st place!”

Soon after, Cabel, who had recovered completely, yelled out at Johannes.

“So don’t pretend to be so good! Just because you’ve been Hari’s partner today doesn’t mean anything special! Hari still likes me more than you do!”

I just stepped on Cabel’s feet with a smile, and then suddenly a surprise Cabel screamed at the end of a painful death.

“Brother, let’s just do our promise and be quiet now. Huh?”

I still smile but I whispered so small that it could only be heard by the second brother. Cabel glanced at the words I scorned.

“When you know where and when you’re going to be, you’re a great brother. If you’re up to be like this, then I’m going to be upset or not?”

“Oh, okay. I can’t do that.”

After a long time, as I threatened him, Cabel replied, sweating cold.

In the past, when the second brother was just ignoring my last blackmail, he hadn’t even had an opponent completely for a while.

Since then, there has been something that Cabel noticed. To not anger me because I’ll ignore him.

“I’m still in vain, but you’re so useless, I’m still up to this point.”

Or maybe it’s because of what I said to Carbel first, or just because Johannes was good, he didn’t get angry at the rude Cabel’s words.

At the end of the day, Cabel again flashed his eyes, but still, because of what I said, he expressed his expression that he had a lot to say, but he still didn’t hold his mouth open.

“Duke Eugene Ernst and Miss Rosabella Velontia.”

At that very moment, a dark enemy sat down in the banquet hall, which had been small for a while.

Silence that seemed to be audible even by the rolling of the needles would be heard everywhere.

I was a little surprised because this was my first time in this life.

Eugene, dressed in a black robe, had a very cold face so that he looked to be involuntarily.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen him in this position.

Because I was the only one know his usual self, I couldn’t see the face of Eugene like that, but obviously what other people had always seen was the cold expression he was showing.

I was alert to the silence around me and looked at the person approaching us.

Eugene stepped forward without revealing any fluctuations in the familiarity of this situation.

Eugene and Rosabella Velontia, walking alongside him, were a very well-paired pair. Both of them are also excellent in appearance.

It resembled creating a hard-working crisis that was difficult to reach somewhere.

Meanwhile, Rosa Bella, who grabbed his hand and walked, said something. After Eugene nodded a little, she let go of his hands and left him.

“So you all here with everyone.”

“My older brother was late.”

I felt like they were staring by killing us around in one place. Eugene then greeted Vastia’s brother and sister.

Immediately afterward, I asked.

“What about Miss Velontia?”

The answer I expected to some degree is back.

“As soon as we entered the banquet hall, she went to the lounge, and she felt that there was a problem with the clothes she wore today, so she needed to check or fix her makeup.”

“Are you alright?”

“Yes, I’m fine.”

Suddenly, Eugene said as he was worried. I smiled at him in the sense that he didn’t have to.

Whether my face looked really good, Eugene soon took his gaze and turned to the side.

“Everyone seems to want to say hello to his brother.”

As Erich said, there seemed to be a lot of people around us wanting to come to us, but they couldn’t move easily this way, unlike their eager eyes.

“I’ll be there for a while.”

Then someone coming toward this place from far away came into view. After talking briefly toward us, he kicked off from his place.

I didn’t know them well, but they seemed to know Eugene. Then two or three more people gathered around Eugene.

“I want to go over there. Brother is going with me too!”

“It’s annoying.”

“You’re my partner! Of course I have to go with you!”

Then Louise dragged Erich and moved to the place she want. It was after they revealing the habit they usually do.

Johannes, next to asked me.

“Would you like to drink anything?”

“Oh, then I’ll bother you.”

“Bring me too! I’m with alcohol!”

Second brother. Ah, did you ask a drink to Johannes with alcohol? What a shame to ask!

“Brother Cabel…”

“Aa..”

Let’s call his name sullenly, Cabel. He was astonished at the anger as if he was just realized.

“I, I was just asking for mine while he brought yours, that was the sound! Johannes, did you understand what I mean?!”

The second brother looked around Johannes as if he said, “Quickly say yes!”

“You’re keeping Hari right next to you.”

Johannes said in a sighed voice, saying it was more annoying to deal with Cabel, then moved on.

Shortly after, I stood up to Cabel and pinched his arm.

“I can’t live because of you. Why is it really today?”

“Yes? Yes?”

“I told you not to talk to brother Johan that way. Especially I said not to do it outside? You do not remember? Yes?”

Cabel always listened to me, but he always spoiled me for things related to Johannes.

Good god, Was it because it was wrong button on first meeting when they were you?

It seemed that all the words that the boys will became friendly while fighting were lies.

If that was true, what about Cabel and Johannes who couldn’t get along like this until this day. It seems that the two of them are incompatible.

“Why are you on the side of that child? Johannes, come with you today! Originally I was going to be your partner!”

Maybe I leave myself with Johannes into the banquet hall seemed to have been make him sad than I had originally thought.

But from my point of view, it was difficult to pick only one of the second and third brother!

Also, Johannes laughed so beautifully at that time, so my heart said, ‘Don’t refuse!’

“Whoever comes in holding my hands, it doesn’t matter. I love brother Cabel’s more.”

My, I don’t know how to change my decision, what can I do? I still feel sorry for his sad face.

“But why did you choose that child, not me!”

“If they find out that I like Cabel’s brother the most, then the other brothers are sad.”

You were so sad that you couldn’t be my partner?

“Because brother Cabel knows my heart best, I thought he would understand this much.”

A simple Cabel stopped at my words.

“And you have a very, very broad mind. In fact, I know that you have conceded your position as a partner today to my brother Johan because I’m going to be in trouble. After all, it’s our brother Cabel.”

Nevertheless, the second brother came over to my adjective theory, and it was funny when he was twisted by me.

“Huh, Hung! Then, of course, I made a step back to him for you! After all, this Cabel’s heart is the most wide!”

He’s still a kid, and he was just as sad as he felt betrayed by me a while ago. I’m glad I came over him easily.

“Miss Ernst!”

But right then, somewhere, a bright, clear voice flew in. Huh? Who is calling me like this?

I turned my head in the direction of the sound. Then, I immediately shivered at the person who came into sight.

“We’ve finally met! Nice to meet you!”

Oh, lavender cordis! Lavender Cordis was the one who ran for a month toward me as if she had waited.

The fluttering red dress was intensely eye-catching. She came up to my face in an instant and expressed her regret.

“But why haven’t you come to Cordis? I don’t know how long I’ve been wanting to meet you.”

I was a little embarrassed to see her coming closer to me and speaking in a tingling voice.

It was burdensome to send an invitation letter every day since we met in the last loss. Then, why are you pretending to be close to me like this?

“I was thinking of the young lady as a friend in my heart, but the reply didn’t come. It’s sad.”

Who is it? You and me? I have to stop talking to her words as I couldn’t even imagine.

Lavender Cordis was making a drastic expression towards me as if she was really sad, but as I knew her true color through the past life, I was just stunned by her appearance.

At that time, Kabel, who was next to me, just lost his words, then opened his mouth.

“What? My sister is busy, do you know how many invitations a day come? So stop bothering her and gagging off!”

Cabel once again like he did before, Stepped on the instep. Then the groan of pain followed. The evil spirit of Cabel was also disturbed.

I’m sorry, the second brother ah! So why do you make me like this because you’re being overworked more than once?

Even though he did a good job explaining it at the time, Cabel noticed that Lavender Cordis, who sent me invitations every day, didn’t like it.

“I’m sorry, Miss Cordis. You know, but I haven’t been able to respond to the invitation because I’ve been busy preparing for this or that for about a month.”

I asked for a daytime smile towards the Lavender Cordis in front of me.

Then, a little hesitant about Cabel’s word momentum, she replied with fluttering gold eyelashes again.

“Yeah, of course I got it, but wasn’t that what you wanted?”

Why are you telling me that you are amiable now?

……? This was really weird. Why are you trying to get along with me because you’re like this? I think she’s still like Eugene this time?

“The duke seems is busy today too? I don’t even have time to say hello.”

But after seeing Lavender Cordis’ face, I decided to fold that hypothesis fine.

Her eyes looking at Eugene standing far away belonged to someone who was completely in love.

Wait, then I don’t understand more? She used to hate me because I was a younger sister who didn’t mix a drop of blood with Eugene.

“Would you like to have a more intimate conversation with me, would you just go to the terrace for a moment and even look at the night sky?”

Lavender Cordis whispered to me in a subtle voice. Oh, I know if it heard by someone that don’t know, they’ll think that I be working on you.

I met her just once in the dressing room, and suddenly she was making uncomfortable.

“What’s that? My sister and you are on the terrace alone….”

As I was stimulated by the vendor’s words, I tried to stick it out and poked my mouth away.

“I’m sorry, but there is someone waiting. And it will be impossible for me to spend time alone because my escort knight is always there.”

Ethan still stood behind me. I wanted to give him a rest on the same day today, but as usual, my words didn’t work.

“What are you doing?!”

Perhaps because of being quiet, Lavender Cordis seemed to have noticed his presence.

“You.”

However, the moment she caught Ethan standing behind me, she paused. At one point, the subtle emotions passed through her pupils.

“Oh, that’s right.”

Seeing that her limbs have been hung up on me. Soon, Lavender smiled again with a smile on her face again. It was long gone, but it was reflected on her face.

What was thrown was clearly a slight embarrassment and contempt. There is something I do not know.

I thought as I smiled after her.

“Hari.”

Then, Johannes, who had left the room for a while, returned. A glass of champagne was in his hand.

“Oh, was sir Vastia your partner?”

“I see you here. Nice to meet you, Miss Cordis.”

Johannes and Lavender greeted. The two seemed to have met in different places.

“Hari, it’s non-alcoholic champagne. Drink it.”

“Thank you.”

I received a cup he handed.

At that time, the neighboring Cabel suddenly shouted as if he realized something.

“What, why did you bring only one!”

“I had no intention to drink.”

“I don’t know whether you drink or not, it’s mine!”

“I don’t say I will bring yours anytime, did I?”

Covering at the end of Johannes’s laughter, Johannes said tenderly towards me again, as if he wasn’t interested in Cabel’s reaction.

“I’ll take care of it.

“Thank you, Brother Johan.”

Lavender Cordis was closely watching us. But then, the crown prince appeared.

“His higness, The Crown Prince, Dice La Pontier Arlanta!”

Everyone bowed towards the entrance of the banquet hall. I was like everyone else.

In the room full of static like the previous one, only someone’s footsteps were filled. After the sound stopped in the center of the banquet hall, everyone looked up.

“Everyone, thank you for coming to the place to commemorate the new unity of the imperial family and Ernst.”

When everyone’s eyes were focused, His higness Dice opened his mouth. I caught a boy with red hair and red wine eyes.

He was the grandchild of the current emperor and a person of great interest as the next emperor.

Even at a young age, he still had the spirit and dignity of a king.

“So, I hope everyone has a good time today.”

After a brief greeting, he just crossed the banquet hall.

“Here you are, Duke Ernst. Brother.”

The first thing Dice found was Eugene.

Surprisingly, he approached Eugene with an imaginative intimacy.

Eugene just reacted calmly to the familiarity.

“Thank you for your hand-made arrangements for my brothers and sisters today.”

“Did you not say that you don’t need such an overcoat between the ball and me?”

I approached them with Cabel and Johannes. It was necessary to say greeting to him as it was a place prepared by his highness Dice for us.

From there, it was seen that both Erich and Louise were also approaching.

“I see a respected person.”

But as soon as we gathered and greeted, for some reason, Dice’s eyes immediately bloomed on me.

“Did you be Ernst’s sister?”

“Yes, Your highness.”

His eyes looking at me had interest.

“They said that your birthday is just around the corner, so I should give a gift to the main character of the banquet.”

“It’s not necessary for a gift. The kindness you gave me today is enough.”

I didn’t know what it was, but it was an undeserved favor.

This time, it was so loud that it rang inside the banquet hall, so everyone would have been able to listen to him without difficulty.

“I’ll invite you to imperial palace. I want you to be my friend to soothe my boring palace life.”

I was amazed and raised my head.

It seems that I wasn’t the only one that surprised, people with wide open eyes came into view.

“If you will, I will send a letter to Ernst sooner or later.”

Only Dice was smiling with his eyes closed.

“I am looking forward to seeing you again at the palace, Miss Ernst.”
