I Reincarnated But Will Try To Live Without Using My Cheat Ability - CH 272
It was an uncontrollable reunion, but I returned to the mansion to catch my breath.
It seemed that brother Amilcarre and brother Baldassarre went out to inspect the town.
Mil was their guide.
When they started talking about the inspection, the brothers secretly whispered to me.
“If Kiara guides me, I won’t be able to rest.”
As you can imagine, they didn’t say it in front of her… but she definitely knows.
Because Kiara was looking at the two of them with blank eyes, after all.
I returned to the Office and pondered a bit.
I am concerned about the fact that the whole family was there to inspect the town.
I wonder if the inspection was just a pretext.
By being away, they are hoping for some kind of change.
Maybe something like that.
There is certainly an aspect of curiosity and relaxation…
The question is whether Ravenna is likely to get involved in the upheaval in the main house.
If there is, there will be an explanation tonight.
There’s no point in overthinking it.
When I came to that conclusion, Kiara turned her mischievous face to me.
“Brother, are you indifferent to brother Amilcarre and brother Baldassarre’s secrets?”
“I have no interest in exploring people’s privacy. I don’t want to be probed, so I have no intention of probing.”
Kiara looked uncomfortable.
I can understand why you’d want to look, though.
That’s not to say it’s boldly.
“”
“I was concerned that you were acting suspiciously, sneaking around in a strange way.”
I chuckled and waved my hand.
If it’s just a one-time thing between family members, there’s no need to get all uptight about it.
“Just do it in moderation.”
“Um… I just wanted to talk to you about something that’s been bothering me a little bit.”
“Something bothering you?”
Kiara came up next to me and whispered so that others could not hear.
“Brother Amilcarre’s is a nude rabbit tribesman and Brother Baldassarre is a cat tribesman. They are in a brothel in Ravenna, so I hope they don’t get sucked in by a dizzy…”
I was blown away.
They are both adults and should know better.
Yes, I’m sure they do.
“I’m sure they’ll be fine. Besides, there’s no point in worrying too much about it.”
Women worry about men like that?
I don’t understand this area.
I guess it’s hard for Kiara to evaluate the two of them.
“If so, that’s fine…”
“Do you think they would go have fun, even though Mother is present?”
Kiara nodded like she understood.
“Certainly, it’ll be fine.”
Then the family gathered for dinner.
Mil seems to be getting tired of the whole thing.
Mil’s a sensible person, but I’m sure she’s taken care of a lot of things.
I think she’d better go to bed early today.
While we were eating, I looked at Maman.
“Mother, is there a reason why the whole family left the main family?”
Maman and my two brothers look at each other.
Maman gives a small laugh.
“You’re as perceptive as ever. Sometimes, you’ll see a dog that gets into trouble when its master isn’t around.”
Brother Amilcarre smiles wickedly.
“That pet dog is being offered food by someone else, and wags his tail to that someone, though.”
Brother Baldassarre chuckled.
“That someone doesn’t intend to feed him, though. We’ll be lucky if our pet dog makes a mess of the house when we’re not home.”
Is the official’s frustration still smoldering?
Are they aiming for a big cleanup? They wouldn’t do that for that reason alone.
There’s still a bigger reason lurking elsewhere.
It’s a complicated mix of things.
“How many other houses are there?”
Maman gave a small laugh.
“Let’s see, the royal family is going through a lot right now. The scope of their influence is too wide to count.”
I knew it.
I couldn’t help but sigh.
“So they want to cripple our family and shut down our say in the succession to the throne. That’s a very difficult thing to do, isn’t it? If they focus so much on this family too much, they will be beaten from behind.”
Brother Amilcarre nodded happily.
“It’s amusing, isn’t it? The man who is so absorbed in peeping is not looking after his own back. They don’t realize it until you put your hand on their shoulder.”
You cannot be a great aristocrat if you are good-natured or defenseless.
You’re good at conspiracies around here, aren’t you?
You set a trap, and from the point where it was caught, you trace it back to the source.
He said he would not attack the mastermind directly, but only with the right amount of threats.
Brother Baldassarre shook his head.
“Of course, you punish your pet dog for misbehaving. But the relations between them are too wide. I want to take this opportunity to clarify their living relations.”
Even though they are further related, whether they are related or not is another story.
Hence, it is possible that they are not related.
If we can figure out even a part of the relationship between relatives that no one understands, that would be a powerful card.
If that’s the case, I wouldn’t be directly involved.
“I understand. It’s turned into something troublesome after all.”
Kiara also chuckled.
“Society is usually so entrenched. When we feel we can move, we stick up for ourselves.”
Anyway, I can’t afford to get involved in that one.
“Well, then, please do your best on cleaning up the house. I’ve got my hands full here.”
Maman gave a mischievous laugh.
“Ravenna is more than just a frontier… it seems like an amazing place.”
Brother Amilcarre looked disgruntled.
“So Alfred’s adventuring while we’re doing a cheek-to-cheek dance with gloomy government officials. And he even has such a beautiful wife with him.”
Even brother Baldassarre nodded.
“An official covered in grease on the outside and pitch black on the inside, and a beautiful elf-wife. It’s so unfair. Even we need a break once in a while.”
Adventure ain’t a fun story! The grass on the other side just looks a little greener.
I was about to complain about something, but Kiara was quietly smiling.
“Brother Amilcarre, brother Baldassarre. It’s fine to relax, but don’t put your hands on the rabbit tribesmen and cat tribesmen in Ravenna.”
The two froze in place.
Maman smiled graciously.
“Kiara, it’s okay. The two of them are adults, so they won’t make such a mess.”
Kiara, too, smiled an angelic smile.
“Yes, I suppose it’s impossible for an owner to be rough with its pet dog.”
Mil was trying to participate in the conversation as much as possible, but this conversation has left her bewildered and frozen in place.
You can’t just barge in on this.
I can’t tell if she’s being serious or joking, because I can’t see the flow.
“Oh, right… Mil. You must be tired after showing them around today. Tomorrow, Kiara will show my brothers around, so get some rest.”
Brother Amilcarre and Brother Baldassarre stiffened.
” “What… did you say…?” “
It has been a long time since I heard harmony.
