I Accidentally Saved The Male Lead’s Brother - Chapter 104

When Emma, Charlotte’s exclusive maid, found him, she hesitated trying to figure out what to do.

 

“Ah, Duke! Miss, wake up!”

 

“Hush.”

 

“Heep!”

 

Carcel walked in front of Emma who closed her lips to the bed. After Emma pointed to the blanket, she came out, still closing her mouth.

 

He laid Charlotte on the bed and covered her with the blanket. Carcel sat beside the bed and thought.

 

Charlotte’s face as she spoke sadly of her mother did not leave his imagination. wipe his face.

 

‘I was short-minded.’

 

Charlotte was 20 years old this year. It had already been two years since she became an adult, so it wouldn’t be strange for her to get married and leave the arms of the family.

 

But Charlotte was a little different. She had only stayed in the lands of Lannia estate until now and was only with her family.

 

Baron Lannia and his wife cared for her very much, especially when she almost died three years ago.

 

It was Charlotte who lived in such an environment that it was not easy for her to live in a strange place where Emma was the only person she knew.

 

There were her brothers in the capital, and she got along with the maids and Irina quite well. But she definitely had some nostalgia for her hometown and her family.

 

The longing could only get worse after she came to the Duchy of Heinst because she didn’t even have her brothers here to interact with.

 

So he got the flowers that belonged to Lannia territory and planted them here, which he thought stimulated her yearning even more.

 

“You were so reckless.”

 

My heart ached when I saw the traces of tears still on Charlotte’s cheek. He left the room after weakly grabbing Charlotte’s hand.

 

Carcel immediately headed to the guest room where Theo and Danny would be. As expected, Irina and Chase were next to the bed where the kids were sleeping.

 

“my lord ?”

 

“I want to talk for a second.”

 

Chase, who was patting Danny on the stomach, followed him into the office. I don’t know what else he’s trying to do, but seeing his face, which is more serious than usual, made his body tense up.

 

Even after coming to the office, Carcel remained silent for a while. While tapping the desk with his finger and organizing his thoughts, he finally opened his mouth.

 

“As soon as possible, invite Baron Lannia, Lord Lannia, and Lord Jack to the Duchy.”

 

“What? Oh, yeah. I’ll send a letter first, but I don’t know if their schedule is right.”

 

“If Charlotte says she wants to see her family, they will come as soon as possible.”

 

This must be the case for those who love Charlotte so much.

 

“Make a mana gate and send a carriage from the duchy. Be prepared to treat them better than any other guests.”

 

Something must have happened to Miss Lannia again. What happened this time?

 

Although he was thinking about it on the inside, he politely bowed his head.

 

“Yes, I see.”

 

After Chase left, he wished for Carcel.

 

I hope that Charlotte, who will see her family, will be able to overcome homesickness and be happy again.

 

***

 

Today was also a day without anything special. After Danny and Irina returned to the capital, Theo played alone in the field, and Charlotte enjoyed snacks in the greenhouse as she watches Theo.

 

If she ate dinner and put Theo to sleep, Charlotte thought, everyday life would pass as usual.

 

That is until I heard a voice you shouldn’t hear in the Duchy of Heinst.

 

“Charlotte, we’re here!”

 

“Jack, this place is different from the Ducal Palace in the capital. Don’t tarnish Lannia’s name, there are too many eyes.”

 

“Well, that’s a point. Issac, Jack, be careful.”

 

“Well, Charlotte shouldn’t leave the Duke because of us.”

 

It was the voice of Issac, Jack, and her parents.

 

She thought she had heard it wrong, but still, she walked out of the greenhouse with some hope. She was followed by Theo who was full of dirt from playing in the greenhouse.

 

Charlotte stopped in astonishment when she saw the garden door.

 

The family was really here. However, I did not approach them because I was afraid that they would disappear like a mirage in the desert.

 

“Brother Jack !”

 

Theo ran to Jack instead of a hesitant Charlotte.

 

“Oh, young master. I think you got taller than before.”

 

Jack smiled and hugged Theo.

 

“Brother Jack, what about Theo’s gift?”

 

“Should I buy a present whenever I come to see you?”

 

“Um.”

 

After seeing him pouting his lips, Jack called Emma.

Emma had a box in her hand that was no match for what Jake had given Theo so far. Theo’s eyes lit up.

 

“Okay, I bought this.”

 

“Brother Jack, is that Theos?”

 

“I don’t give it to the young master, I will give it to Charlotte. If you ask her to give it to you, she will because a nice Charlotte can give you all the chocolate.”

 

“Yes!”

 

Theo nodded with an excited face and looked toward Charlotte.

 

The child was confident in Charlotte’s persuasion and ate the chocolate. Charlotte would do everything for me if I blinked or winked.

 

“Sister?”

 

However, even if Theo blinked, Charlotte did not respond. Even then, she stood there as if her feet were buried in the ground.

 

Jack, who raised one corner of his mouth, hugged Theo and approached her.

 

“I haven’t seen you for a month, what is this  ugly face? Are you unhappy to see me?”

 

Charlotte shook her head. There is no way I could be unhappy to see you. Instead, I was so happy that I didn’t know what to do.

 

So why don’t you express your happiness?

 

“Brother.”

 

Charlotte hugged Jack tightly. Jack was taller than her, so Theo got stuck between the two of them.

 

Theo, who had become a sandwich between the two, laughed excitedly as if he had found a fun game.

 

Charlotte then hugged her mom, dad, and Issac in order and had a tearful family reunion.

 

Jack saw her covered in tears and laughed, he said her eyes would be like a carp tomorrow when she woke up, and Issac punched him in the side.

 

Baron Lannia blushed when he saw his daughter after a long time, and Baron’s wife hugged Charlotte and wiped her tears.

 

After a tearful family reunion, they moved into the guest room.

 

What was surprising was that Theo sat on Jack’s leg, not Charlotte’s.

 

Yes. Jack’s advantage was 15 points thanks to the chocolate he brought today. Finally, his points became positive.

 

Theo tolerated sitting on Jack’s leg because he had brought him chocolate.

 

Charlotte asked while watching Theo munching on his chocolate as he sat on Jack’s leg.

 

“What is happening all of a sudden?”

 

“You’re a bit weird. Why are you talking like you don’t know anything?”

 

Jack asked in a voice that was half scandalous, half curious.

 

“How can you pretend you don’t know?”

 

“Didn’t you know we were coming?”

 

“I didn’t know. Why did you come here?”

 

“We are here because Duke Heinst asked us.”

 

“The duke?”

 

“Yes. We thought you asked the duke for a favor.”

 

“No, that never happened. I didn’t know you were coming.”

 

I was happy to see the faces of my family after so long, but I didn’t know what kind of wind blew on Carcel and made him bring my family here without telling me.

 

He certainly did it with good motivation but somehow I felt frustrated because I didn’t know.

 

A thoughtful Charlotte ran through the conversation they had at Theo’s birthday in her head.

 

— Mom… I miss my mom.

 

That day I was under the influence of alcohol and said I missed my mom and told some stories to Carcel that I had never told anyone before.

 

Charlotte was talking about her mother in Korea, but it seemed to Carcel she was talking about the Baroness because he didn’t know.

 

He called my parents after he heard what I said at that time.

 

Maybe that’s right. Because he values family affection more than anyone else.

 

Charlotte felt the urge to run to him and thank him, but she restrained herself for the time being.

 

The Baron muttered a tearful face again as he looked at Charlotte, who had tears in her eyes at Carcel’s behavior.

 

“Contrary to the rumors, Duke Heinst seems to be a good person. Seeing you healthy and happy, it seems that the Duke treats you well.”

 

Just as it happens to the cold-blooded male protagonist in fantasy romance novels, the rumors about Carcel haven’t been pleasant.

 

In fact, Charlotte thought he was a cold and blunt person at first.

 

“Actually, I was very worried because you said you would be suddenly betrothed to the duke, but not now.”

 

Charlotte smiled and nodded at her parents, who looked really relieved.

 

“Yeah, don’t worry about me now.”

 

This wasn’t just a lie to calm my father down, but this was the sincerity I had felt so far.

 

“The duke is a kind person.”
