Chapter 9 (2/2)

The moment I said that, the brat’s completely emotionless expression up until now collapsed.

“…………Hah?”

“There’s no son to inherit the t.i.tle of duke in this family. I’m going to be marrying the third prince, so I’m supposed to have children quickly and let one of my children inherit this place for the sake of the family, is what my dead grandfather said. But, I’m completely not interested in that at all.”

In the first place, if I keep acting the part of a n.o.ble girl villainess, this entire country might not even exist in the future.

“Fortunately, my father doesn’t have any interest in the affairs of the house, and only cares about the people in his territory, and my mother is just like me, and loves beautiful things. Well, I’m sure that there will be people that object, but I’ll silence them.”

“…What are you talking about?”

“I’ll say it quite simply. Brat, become my older brother.”

The brat whose expression had completely collapsed earlier, made a full turnaround and became so serious looking.

“…What are you aiming for?”

“How insolent of you to ask such a thing. Fine. Hehe, there’s nothing more to hide, I’ll reveal all of my plans. ……That old man with no kids – you b.a.s.t.a.r.d, as an a.s.sa.s.sin you should know about the Rickson place adopting a commoner girl, surely? He plans on raising that little girl as his own. Right now, she’s too insignificant to even be considered as a ‘rival’ to me. That’s how it is. b.a.s.t.a.r.d, since you’re also a commoner, if you become a splendid heir to a duke’s family, that little girl will become even more cornered. Cornering her to that extent, even that little girl should finally realize, just how shameful she is, and improve.”

“…You, do you want to crush that girl, or not, which is it?”

“What, I just want to act out the role of a ‘n.o.ble girl villainess.’ And besides, thrill-seeking is the nature of all living creatures, no?”

“So, that’s my reason, Riley.”

“Ahh, ojou-sama is being very calm about it today.”

“I won’t hear that again! ‘Bullying is uncool,’ I definitely won’t hear something like that again! In order to prevent that, I’m going to produce that little country b.u.mpkin myself. If my opponent gets stronger and then I defeat her, it’ll be cool, right! I’m such a genius!”

At the big fuss that it caused all over my house, I laughed loudly, and drank all of a hot guy’s blood that I had left in reserve.

“Ahh, that brat…… My older brother’s name is Sujata. Remember it well, Riley.”

“While I’m not as smart as ojou-sama is, I’m not at the extent where I’d make a simple mistake like forgetting his name.”

“Hm?”

“Ojou-sama, please calm down.”
