Beware of the Brothers - Chapter 31

Hari’s POV

Recently, the second son in my house has been hurt.

Spreading the dark energy everywhere, he’s hiding in the corner and looking at me secretly, like a pony-fingered river cocker, like he have something to say to me.

Then he thought of himself again. Suddenly, like the protagonist of a story, he clenched it and ran out.

He seemed to be hiding it, but his attitude seemed so obvious. I had to pretend to not know that, and pretend I didn’t know, but I was worried.

However, I was hoping that someone would pretend to know, and I did not intend to do it on purpose.

No, I don’t know what the hell is going on, but if I leave it a little, won’t it be okay? If it’s still in a little bit of time, then it best to hold onto and talk.

With that in mind, I tried to ignore the second brother hiding behind the wall and spying on me today.

Oh, but it’s hard to pretend I don’t know!

Does he think that if he hide over there, his existence will be hidden? What does he think, he’s in one size like Penny?

Even a big bear should be distracted like a bear.

I’d rather have the urge to just come here and tell him all over and talk, but these days he’ve been so complicated and upset that he just sighed and headed for his room.

Since I met Johannes a while ago, I have been uneasy.

No matter how many times I think about it. Thank you and sorry. This was true not only for Johannes, but for all of Vastia’s people.

After that happened with Johannes, I couldn’t contact Louise first.

Of course, I didn’t know if they knew what happened between Johannes and me, but it was difficult to be brave.

What’s more, Mrs. Vastia’s would have felt strange at the time when she saw our strange atmosphere….

I wanted to see Johannes again, but if he didn’t want to, I wasn’t eligible to go first.

Just because he showed me off with a smile until the end, I wasn’t so oblivious to think that it was really nothing.

However, it was not that I was able to express the fact that I was unhappy because of Johannes. Eugene, who sees me like that, will also feel uncomfortable.

So I tried to look as usual in front of him.

But in fact, it was unlikely that Eugene, who wasn’t another person, would not know me and my feeling.

“Brother, where have you been?”

Then one day, I saw Cabel who had just returned to the mansion and asked.

He suddenly left home, and was just returning home. However, on his face, a regretful expression appeared, as if a decade-old congestion had fallen.

Seeing that, I was in doubt.

Has he solved the thing that has made Cabel wriggling for days?

However, whatever happened to Cabel, as he saw me, he stepped forward and approached me.

Looking at me from behind for a while, After looking at me now, are you ready to talk right now?

“I’m your brother. You know?”

Huh? By the way, well, isn’t this guy grabbing my shoulder and making such an absurd sound?

No, what are you doing while holding on to the crisis like this?

“If there are people who are telling you something without me, tell me everything! All right? I’ll hurt them all!”

Whether or not he know I’m being traumatized, Cabel continued to say strange things with a runny nose.

Um. Thank you anyway…

The more I listened, the more mysterious it seemed to be.

“What, suddenly why do you say that?”

However, the moment I asked, Cabel’s face changed slightly.

Until a while ago, he was wearing a unique expression that was unique to Cabel, which I had originally known, the expression he made now reveals a complicated heart of unknown cause.

For some reason, he seemed to think of something he had forgotten for a moment.

Uh, but was Cabel the guy who could make this look?

While I paused for a moment, the second opened his mouth with eyes that seemed to have decided something.

“I’m just sick of rolling my head.”

No, this is not something new. I already know that.

But, for some reason, it seemed that I shouldn’t say what I thought. So I just listened to what Cabel said.

“Three days and nights, my head is wrapped up. Even if I worry a lot, I can’t find an answer.”

Ah, at that moment, I was a little surprised and not fit into this serious mood.

Cabel, a synonym for my family’s simple ignorance, is having trouble with his head wrapped day and night for three days?

This was a bit of a big deal.

In general, Cabel was a personality that was forgotten in just three minutes, not three days.

By the way, if he have been thinking about three days, this is not really normal.

“But I have one conclusion…”

I listened to Cabel’s words with a slightly more serious face than before.

“Anyway, I’m me, you’re you. In the end, I’m your brother, and you’re my sister… It doesn’t change no matter what happens.”

I was a bit confused whether his self-talking words were to me or to himself.

I don’t know why, but his eyes looked like something with a weak earnestness. I looked at it and was a little surprised to open my lips.

“And I’ve been thinking again. No matter what I’m doing, everyone else will be on my side even if they say I’ve done something wrong, right?”

But before I even said to him, Cabel asked me first.

His blue eyes were looking down at my face, who had lost a moment to say.

The eyes of Cabel who is more serious than ever. When I saw the oyster, I was agitated and shook my finger.

Maybe, maybe….

“Brother Cabel….”

Did you…?

I don’t know what it is, but has he had a big accident outside?

So, no matter what happens now, is he making this kind of bottom-up deal to ask for his side?!

Somehow, after running out of the house suddenly, he came in with a face like having a bad stomach…..!

Didn’t he come by making someone knead like in academy?

Ah, ho, maybe because Cabel goes there every day. The boogie division leader who was annoyed his while being? So this is his bottom?!

Seeing that he has such a serious atmosphere, it seems that he has been doing quite a bit.

Still, what is this guy’s attitude?

Seeing that Cabel, who was always proud of himself, speaks like that with a face like that, for some reason, my heart got a little salty, so I think I’ll have to soothe him.

“Of course. Brother Cabel is my favorite brother. I’m always on your side.”

But why do I think I should listen to him? Second brother, why don’t we quietly go into the room and have a conversation?

“Oh, I thought so.”

Cabel listened to me and, of course, squirted as if he knew I would say so. Then, sooner or later, he looked at me with his eyes that were harder than ever.

“So I will do the same for you.”

At that moment, I lost something to say again.

What the hell did he do the same?

Is he going to give me trust and believe? Just like I’m on his side, he’s on my side?

Perhaps I don’t know Cabel, and that said a little agitated me.

I suddenly felt a little choked because I heard something unexpected in an unexpected situation. So I asked him after I was coughing.

“Here, what happened outside?”

“I just stepped on a fly in front of the installation.”

Ah, again?

“Are you hurt a lot? Are you serious?”

“What? I’ve seen it a lot! And I didn’t hit it! It seems like it’s been almost a hundred years since I last beat a man. What are you talking about?”

The second brother shouted at me with a rush.

But that’s not a little, Cabel.

Think of your school days! I can’t think of the opening words and other comparison, so I’m just talking about the second brother in my house.

So while I kicked my tongue inside, Cabel calmed down.

And he is thinking again as he squinted his lips, gave his eyes a lot of strength, looked at me, and turned around.

“I just…… knew that anyway! I’m your brother until I die!”

After shouting like that, Cabel climbed up the stairs in a loud thump.

“What, really….”

I muttered small, looking at his back.

I still couldn’t figure out why Cabel was saying or acting like that, I couldn’t understand….

But I still feel strange. This became a little muddy.

I felt a little embarrassed and uncomfortable because of the Cabel, so I headed to my room, making noisy footsteps even though no one was watching.

Like what Cabel did a while ago.

[What’s the day when brother Cabel’s not weird?]

Oops, this impatient guy.

Erich said relentlessly about his brother.

Of course Erich wasn’t doing this for a day or two, as he’s doing it a lot, too.

After all, our second brother is….

I sighed, looking at Erich’s face, which looks via a communication sphere, but this guy was just wearing a constant look.

“But there was something really different from usual.”

Again, I recounted Cabel’s weirdness, but Erich was noisy.

Hah, I don’t speak anymore.

I had wondered if Erich was going to know what happened to Cabel, so I contacted his at best.

[Something will be delivered sooner than

later, it’s yours, so take care of it.]

“What is mine? What is it?”

[You can see it.]

I was puzzled by Erich’s words.

I don’t know what it is, but he say it’s mine, did I accidentally spill something when I went to an academy last time?

Oh, or maybe it’s a red book I once had fun with. Cool.

Isn’t that a gift? But it’s not my birthday yet?

And my question was resolved two days later.

“My Lady. It’s a gift from Master Erich.”

What arrived in front of me was a normal size box. After opening it in my room, I was amazed and had to open my eyes wide.

Ah! Ah! Ah, this!

“Erich!”

[Looking at your expression, I guess you got it.]

I immediately contacted Erich using the communication sphere.

Whether he was in his room or because it was not dinner time yet, Erich immediately looked at the communication sphere.

After seeing my surprised face, Erich seemed to have noticed that his gift had arrived at home.

“What happened? Didn’t you say that brother Eugene was against it because it’s dangerous before?”

The gift he gave me is a silver gun with a beautiful engraved pattern.

I’d like to have a self-defense gun I said, but Eugene wasn’t so happy that I had to give up.

I remembered that Erich had objected to Eugene when he first spoke to Eugene.

But in my astonishment, Erich said with a small nostril.

[I don’t know, I just notice something, and I listen to one thing you want, so what?]

This, this guy. It’s been quite a big deal?

And as soon as his words passed by, I stopped and stunned at his words.

[And anyway, even though my brother objected, you still had what you used in Vastia. So just carrying what I gave you.]

I thought I wasn’t sure what kind of wind when he suddenly gave me this, and I was worried about that.

Suddenly, I was very grateful to Erich for caring for me.

Moreover, in fact, I was just happy to be able to communicate with him like this.

Erich, even after what happened the other day. Because I knew that he was trying to treat me as usual.

“Thank you, Erich. I really like what you gave me.”

[What do you like more, the piano or my gift?]

And I rolled my head at Erich’s spit.

Huh? The piano was given as a gift by Eugene when we returned to Ernst again. Why does he suddenly compare it?

Of course, I also like Eugene’s gift, Erich gifts is all good too. Still, there is the sincerity of the person who gave the gift at best.

“I love what you gave me now! I fell in love at first sight. It’s so pretty, it’s my taste.”

I fondly praised the incomparable beauty of the gift Erich gave me.

But it is really from my heart. In fact, I was excited from the moment I saw the gift Erich sent me.

[Hah, performance is better, so carry it.]

“But suddenly, why a gift? It’s not my birthday today. It’s too good for me.”

And in my question, Erich opened his mouth with blue eyes fixed on my face.

[No reason. Just brother Eugene will probably won’t give you something like that until he dies. So my brother and I are trying to do something else we can do.]

His words seemed to make me speechless.

But once again before I’m asking for his meaning, Erich first greeted me and ended the correspondence.

I flipped my head, looking at the lights off, and then again looking at the gift Erich gave.

Erich’s gun was quite satisfactory to me again and again.

For a long time, I rip things back and forth in the box and fidgeted until I got tired, then put it back in the box and closed the lid.

And I hid it in the deep so as not to be caught by Eugene.

It was a thrilling night like a child who was excited to receive an unexpected gift.

*********

“You look good today.”

I was frustrated by what Eugene threw as he looked at my face.

Does it look like that in my face?

Perhaps I really am feeling good, it’s probably because of Erich’s gift.

“Yeah? Because the weather is good today.”

But I couldn’t tell Eugene about the gift, so I just turned to him.

After seeing my smiley face, Eugene was silent for a while and then reached out to reach me.

“Are you going to stop by the Imperial Palace today? I’ll be waiting for you to come out.”

“End early today?”

“Hm.”

He really didn’t have much work today, so he was going to end up early, or just say so to come back with me.

I didn’t know if it was true or not, but it wasn’t bad to say that.

I felt Eugene’s touch gently touching my face, then smiled at the thought that came to my mind.

“If you have the right time, brother Cabel maybe would be able to come with you.”

Then Eugene seemed to stop for a moment.

These days, Cabel continued to leave the house early in the morning and come back late at night. So I also had a hard time seeing his face.

I wondered if the commander-in-chief of the templars was going to roll Cabel again, but this time he seemed to be voluntarily training.

Presumably, it seemed to be an extension of what made Carbel anguish last time.

Once worried, I asked Cabel about this reason, but he hide his stubborn face and quenched it all the way.

“I will ask him when I have time.”

“My brother will be busy, but there is nothing wrong to ask him.”

I walked with Eugene when he’s ready to go. We moved together to the front.

Then, after walking around for a moment, I confirmed that no one was around, and then held Eugene’s arms and raised my heels.

“Bye.”

Eugene’s cheeks briefly touched my lips and then fell.

Oh, I’m ashamed to do it. I have to go quickly!

At that time, a shallow laugh was heard from above me.

“I will be back.”

Right after Eugene’s hand wrapped my back, the warmth sat down on my forehead. I watched him look back and he start walking.

Then I slowly raised my hand and touched my forehead, which Eugene just kissed lightly.

My face feel slightly hot.

“I’m really out of of my mind. Doesn’t Hari think that too?”

I felt embarrassed by his voice of selflessness.

Dice was desperate as if he could dig into a tunnel because the grass couldn’t finish in just a few days.

I tried to comfort him.

“Isn’t it still insolvent? Don’t blame yourself too much, your Highness.”

“How can I’m not blame myself in this situation? I’m done now. I can’t be happy now.”

But it didn’t work.

His face, which has become sore, seemed to tell his hardship. And the reason why Dice was so frustrated was, of course, still because of Rosabella.

Surprisingly, these two people were still in the Cold War.

Rosabella’s anger lasted longer than I thought, and it was none other than Dice who burned her anger again.

If I knew it gonna be like this, I would have been actively looking at Dice while he was picking up a list of gifts for Rosabella last time.

But did anyone would expect that he would send a procession of gifts to Velontia so loudly?

Even though I said that he couldn’t overdo it, it didn’t seem to touch his depths.

All the precious gold and silver treasures that lined up at the Velontia mansion were so great that everyone had to keep their eyes wide open.

And Arlanta’s society was forced to shocked once again by the news that it is the crown prince who sent it.

Of course, most of the opinions were that Rosabella, who was loved by his highness the crown prince so much, that they were envious of this, and that Dice who gave such precious items for his fiancée was gorgeous.

However, it was only natural that Rosabella, who had been refraining from going out because she didn’t like to go on the people’s cuddle in the first place, started scattering colds to Dice again.

Dice said, ‘I don’t know why I did such a crazy thing’. Then he muttered ‘I’m a fool, a fool’ several times with a depressed voice.

I looked at him and kicked my tongue inside.

“Wait a little longer until Miss Rosabella’s anger is released.”

“You still sent a gift for your fiancée? Perhaps, you know, sent her a letter. Rosabella might realized his highness’s heart.”

“No, I don’t think I’m going to solve it real this time. She didn’t seem to read the letter I sent at all.”

I said I would comfort him.

But the truth was, it wasn’t really sincere. Dice was also instinctively aware that there was no soul above my words.

“Now, what if she’s completely out of love with me? Ugh, I shouldn’t have listen to Sir Lero’s words like this, I’ve even never had a love affair!”

Ah, the culprit was Sir Lero, Dice escort. I remember him a few times on the way.

Haah? By the way, did he realized that he had a face with a look that seems to have making cried about a hundred women and he hasn’t had a dating experience yet?

“Your Highness, may I go in for a while?”

“What’s going on?”

At that time, I heard a voice calling Dice outside the door. It seemed to be a knight waiting outside.

By the way, it’s amazing how many times this Dice’s temperature difference I had experienced.

He greeted the man outside the door with a solemn voice, as if he had not been grumbling in front of me a while ago.

Suddenly, Dice raised his upper body that was attached to the table and held a nice posture.

“Countess Solemn is asking His Highness’s presence.”

“Don’t you see that I’m with Lady Ernst right now in your eyes? I’m welcoming the first guest, so you’re going to tell the Countess to wait a little longer.”

“It seems to be a pretty urgent thing..”

I don’t know what’s going on, but it seemed that the Countess was constantly urging Dice and make a scene.

In a voice that blurs, the end of words Dice sneaked cynically at the knight who was in front of him passed by my ear.

“Yeah? How many times is it urgent enough to make me say the same thing?”

Wow, this guy is not feeling great now.

Although he was smiling at his mouth, Dice’s eyes were very cool, sitting cross-legged and looking down at the knight. In that cold gaze, the knight crouched down.

Wow, it looks like our crown prince has a charisma.

He showed comfort in front of me. It was quite a while, and I almost forgot to say that I was supposed to look at him as the imperial crown prince from outside.

But it’s amazing how this person gets creaky like this when it comes to Rosabella.

“Your Highness, I will go back first because of this.”

Eventually I decided to leave first.

It seemed that I couldn’t even stand to see the knight sweating and nervous, but anyway, I think it would be better to go to outside to find out now.

Although he felt bad and glare at the knight, Dice seemed to think the same way with me.

Soon he kicked his tongue and raised his body from his seat. So eventually Dice and I left the room side by side.

“I think the Countess is going to be in the real problem right now. I’ll have to listen to how the fuss is making a fuss.”

I split up from the dice, fearing the comfort of the knight following Dice with the Countess and his aide’s face at the scene.

I suddenly became more relaxed when I left Dice’s Palace earlier than expected due to a sudden application of guest.

At other times, I would have headed straight to Ernst’s mansion, but today there was someone to wait for.

Because I had an appointment with Eugene in the morning.

Perhaps Eugene thought he was going to wait for me after coming out of his work first.

Wasn’t this original plan supposed to be here?

“Are you going to the Duke?”

Asked Ethan, who quietly followed me from behind.

However, if I go to the place where Eugene works, I might have be a burden, so I decided to just wait outside.

“No. I’ll just wait here.”

Ethan did not disagree with me, as usual, and bowed silently.

Waiting for Eugene was never boring.

Near the entrance to the palace, purple anemone flowers were spread over the stream.

As I watched the flowers, I turned the lace parasol held in my hands, and the shadow over the purple flowers moved.

Then I suddenly felt a sharp gaze on my side and turned my head.

Immediately after our eyes met, Ethan, who was looking at me, moved a step closer. And soon I saw him sticking out to me and I opened my eyes a little wide.

“Are you giving this to me?”

In Ethan’s hand was an anemone flower that did not know when it was broken.

When I asked in amazement, he said, looking at my face alternately with the flower in his hand, still with an expressionless face.

“It looks like the color of My Lady eyes.”

I looked at my flower in front of me a bit, and finally I smiled and accepted it.

“Thank you. It’s pretty.”

I used to think that Ethan was like a cat on the road.

Even now, he look like a squirrel that ask someone who has become close to him something like a pine cone.

It felt a bit like a giving.

“Hari.”

Just then, I heard a familiar voice calling me. As I turned, I saw Eugene approaching me.

“Brother Eugene.”

As expected, he seemed a little surprised to see me with Ethan first in this appointment place.

Probably, if there was not a sudden application for guest, I would have to come after listening to Dice’s frustration.

“How long did you wait?”

“Sorry. I just came out.”

When I replied, Eugene narrowed his eyebrows. Even if I pretend to look like that, he noticed that I was waiting for him unexpectedly, and I smiled at him.

Then, suddenly, Eugene’s eyes touched the flower in my hand.

Even if it was less than a little glance, he could see that it was the same kind of flower as the flower in the flower garden spreading next to me.

I smiled at him.

“It given by Ethan.”

“Ethan?”

Eugene’s gaze slipped slowly to the next of me, at Ethan. Ethan looking up slightly toward Eugene and then stepped back a few steps without a word.

“The fragrance is really good. Would you like to take it?”

I am in a good mood after receiving an unexpected gift from Ethan. So I suggested to Eugene about the flowers Ethan gave and smell the scent.

Eugene’s black eyes looked down at the purple blossoms that approaching.

After a while, Eugene’s hand was raised, but instead of being handed a flower in front of his eyes, he grabbed my hand and pulled it closer.

The moment I met his eyes in the air, I stopped.

Whether Eugene knows my intention or not, I still hold my hand close to his face, then he hold my hand close to his face and taking a shallow breath.

“Your hands also have a scent.”

I hardened my hand and said a little awkwardly.

“Isn’t it a fragrance from flowers?”

“I think It’s because of you.”

Eugene also laughed at me with a smile.

After that, Eugene’s movement of pulling flowers out of my hand was so natural that I didn’t feel any discomfort.

“The flowers of the Imperial Palace belong to the royal family, so if you break it, you can receive medium punishment.”

Ah, when I heard that, I was frightened.

Eugene was right. The flowers that bloomed in the imperial garden were similar to the imperial possessions.

“Isn’t it hidden behind the sunshade?”

Unlike Ethan, who still hears Eugene’s words, I look around with a worried mind. Towards that end, I was nervous.

“But it would be dangerous to take this.”

It wasn’t a compulsory tone, but I was confused because the content was not that light.

Ethan gave it to me for the first time….

“It’s okay, My Lady.”

Ethan first told me if he knew why I was hesitant.

“Then I’ve already got the heart, so I’m going to leave it here with the other flowers. Maybe it would be lonely if this flower fell alone.”

I conveyed my heart to Ethan with a sorry glance, and I gently lay down the flowers he gave me among the other purple flowers.

Oh, no one would have seen it right? We haven’t picked this flower! It was just so pretty, it felt bitter. Ugh, really.

“Let’s go. Cabel said he was going to be late today.”

“Brother Cabel, he keep being busy.”

After that, Eugene’s hand naturally moved to my hand. We walked past the purple flower fields. Eugene and Ethan were quietly following me.

It was a very calm day like the eve of a storm.
