「If my elder brother dies, the throne hter Perhaps, that noble wants their own son to room With that in mind they tried to kidnap Sue, then use that as et to was not myself but probably my elder brother」

If you value your niece’s life, do not deal with Misuuard is probably pretty severe Therefore, they target Sue instead Then they try and push their luck and have their son be engaged to her instead But what guilt they must feel

If they were exposed even by mistake then it’s a one way trip to the headman’s ax The historical drama of some villain’s head suspended pops into my mind somehow

「And? What exactly should I do?」
