I’ve Reincarnated And I’m OP! - Chapter 8

Where were you! -Mother.

He was just walking around the city, I thought he had heard me when I said I was going out-Kasumi.

When I said that to my mother, she made a furious face, that had already happened a few times since because our family was noble manners are a priority, but because in my previous life I never used manners to such a level. made it impossible to adapt to them.

What kind of language is that? Didn’t they teach you to speak with manners? – Mother.

{Sigh} Mother, I remember commenting on my stay in the city before leaving-Kasumi.

My mother just stared at me and with a slightly annoyed face, I thought she was going to lecture me like she always did, but …

Well whatever-Mother.

After saying those words she just turned and left without saying anything else.

(How strange, she has never let me go without arguing).

I paid no more attention to the matter and went to the mansion library to read something.

After reading a bit in the library of the mansion I got a little hungry so I started walking towards the kitchen, although in my Inventory I kept a lot of food, the food that one of the maids of the mansion prepared was very good, she she would certainly be a perfect Mother.

As I walked towards the kitchen I got distracted looking through a window, as the library was on the second floor of the mansion from this one you could see the night sky to perfection although it was not yet completely night it was like 7 at night approximately Because in Esdrul there were no clocks, people are guided by the chimes, I was paying attention to the chimes and calculating the time that each one took to ring, in the end I came to the conclusion that their order was:

6 AM —- 3 chimes.

9 AM —- 3 chimes.

12 PM —- 4 chimes.

3 PM —- 3 chimes.

6 PM —- 3 chimes.

9 PM —- 3 chimes.

12 AM —- 2 chimes.

As well as for the hours they also use the bells for danger, although as the city was safe those bells had not heard them even once.

In the kitchen I asked the maid for some food and she obviously served me food, although not much since there was only a little time left for dinner to be served, and with some food in my stomach I retired to my room to practice my magic, but while I was walking towards my room I met my brothers in the hallway.

(How weird).

As I always do, I ignored my brothers, but just like I did, they also ignored me which was something new in them, usually whenever I came across it they would argue or talk about any stupid thing about me, but in this occasion they passed me as if nothing.

(This is weird, first my mother and now my brothers, they all act strange, it’s as if something is wrong, I wonder what it is).

I paid no more attention to the matter and just ignored his strange behavior.

………….. ….

(I don’t like this anymore).

It had already been four days since my family had started to act strange, my brothers did not speak to me during the four days and my parents did not say anything at all about the subject, during those days I also noticed that my brothers had faces of contempt and I hate, but it seemed even weirder that this was not addressed to me.

Everything was looking very strange to me and what also seemed strange to me was that my father had already left a few days ago and had not returned.

During breakfast everyone had angry and scared faces at the same time, of everyone in the family the one I noticed was the most angry was Lala, she seemed very angry at times, but sometimes when I looked at her through the corridors she was on the edge from crying, when I looked at her in that state, I approached her, but she always went to her room or ignored me.

For some strange reason we were having lunch earlier than usual, at lunch we were all sitting eating without saying anything at all, my two brothers seemed to be in a very bad mood and my sister looked sad, in fact she looked a little pale.

(Mmmm there is noise outside).

While eating I heard a noise outside, it sounded like a carriage arriving, it didn’t take long for one of the maids to show up.

My lady, young Kurotsu Shel has arrived-Maid.

(Kurotsu Shel? He had never heard that name, is it a relative? I wonder if this visit was what had them all acting that way).

Go ahead and join us for our lunch-Mother.

The maid bowed and left, it didn’t take long for the sound of the doors opening to be heard and a man of about twenty-five coming out of them, he had short yellowish hair, green eyes and white skin, his outfit consisted of golden armor with a blue cape, looking at him carefully the guy was handsome, if he went to Earth he would surely be a movie star.

The man now known as Kurotsu Shel approached until he was in front of everyone, he made a bow worthy of a nobleman and with a smile he began to speak.

My apologies for interrupting his nice meal, allow me to introduce myself …- Kurotsu.

(Aahhgg where it goes off).

At first when he said that he would introduce himself I thought he would only say the name and one other thing, but Kurotsu began to talk that he was the first son of his family who lived in such a kingdom, that he was the head of his family and a lot of things that I didn’t even pay the slightest attention to; In short, he was a noble of high bloodline and came through Lala’s hand.

(I see, so that was it, what I do not understand is because my sister is angry and a little pale, this does not smell good to me).

Concealing that I was not paying the slightest attention to the matter, I continued eating calmly, but inwardly I was thinking about everything that had just happened.

(According to what I understand when a nobleman asks for the hand of another his nobility can rise a bit, in the case of Lala if he agrees to marry Kurotsu his nobility will increase considerably, but she looks annoyed by it, knowing Lala herself he would be very happy to elevate his nobility and would show off his nobility to others, mainly to me).

I had many doubts and the answers to these were in Kurotsu, without stopping eating I took a look at his state and when I saw his state I realized that he was level 40, that surprised me a lot since to date it was the level The higher I looked at a person, apart from the statistics that were not a big deal I also looked at their Information and that was where I found out why they all acted strange, womanizer, scammer, murderer and many things like that, in a few words Kurotsu just wanted to my sister so that she would be her toy.

The other thing that also caught my attention was because Lala not only rejected it, according to what I had read, the wedding invitations or things like that could be rejected even without being superior in nobility, but even with that method Lala did not reject it, In fact, she had an “I don’t have a choice” attitude.

I started to think about the different reasons for Lala not to resist marrying a man like him, after thinking about it for a while I came to the conclusion that they were being threatened and I was convinced when I heard that according to Kurotsu his family had enough power military and that they were one of the largest exporters of minerals, listening to that I was convinced that they were threatening to oppress us or something like that.

(What should I do? It’s not that I like my brothers and all that, but Lala is my sister and I can’t even think that this bastard violates her, I have the strength to stop all this, but I can’t just kill him and already, I need a plan otherwise I will end up being the enemy of the entire kingdom or I would lead the two kingdoms to war).

I was left for a moment thinking of a plan to be able to get out of that situation without having to shed blood and after a few minutes I remembered a very common tradition in Esdrul, especially in the nobility.

(As I see in your Statistics it is not very smart, it may work).

I smiled due to the idea that had occurred to me at that moment, I stood up and with my right hand hit the table causing a great sound which drew everyone’s attention, my brothers and mother looked at me puzzled and Kurotsu looked at me like if it were a bug.

Kurotsu Shel, I challenge you to a duel for the hand of my sister-Kasumi.
