Klaus Harvan's letter

Dear Erica Aurelia,

A month has passed since we returned to Harvan's Gineda Castle

Even now I still re Palace as if it was yesterday

I finally settled down, so I decided to send a letter to you

To tell the truth, I didn't think much about the visit to Aurelia at that time

I think that I remembered that father and Duke Aurelia's conversation face to face was about mine development and forest resources

However, youabout an engagement between you and me secretly behind the scenes

When ere gathered together, our parents’ arrangee had already took part

I have never thought that I would get into a political e with you like this

'The Aurelia's daughter would be a spoiled and an intolerable girl anyway'

'Why should I be a couple with soirl?'

I was thinking about such prejudiced things

But the truth is different

You are er than I am

Strong……?

No, your -weak criterion

You have been more than me……

I wonder what

I cannot express it well

The only thing that I can say is that it was the first time I saoman like you

Well, let's get back to the story

I was…At the botto

Even when I was stuck with being blocked by the traps of the labyrinth

Even when e monster

It was you that saved us all the time

You thanked me for it, but it is not so It is the opposite

It is I who is thankful

Thank you for protecting my sister, Ann

If I couldn't ive myself for the rest of my life

I want to be a person that balances you

I am weak now

So, soained enough strength to suit you

Of course, if you don't like it, you ement

Remember

You do not need to be mine, but remember that I am yours

When so happens to you, I will rush to you earlier than anyone else

And even if I have to throw my life, I will protect you

From your eternal shi+eld, Klaus Harvan

”Ann!!! Why are you reading other people's letter without permission!? Return it!!”

”This is not good, Klaus-oniisaood!”

Before Klaus noticed it, Ann was drawing near and snatched away the letter he had just completed, and he became terribly flustered

Ann coitated

Klaus was not good at dealing with his sister as three years younger than him

”Onii-sa a sultry letter?

As soon as I take s that was just an exercise in futility”

”Who said it's sultry!?”

”It's definitely a declaration that you will become a yandere stalker anyway!

If she received this, Ericoneesama will definitely become annoyed!!”

”What! What did you say!”

”Your feelings are too heavy!!”

”Before that, about the ‘yandere stalker’, I don't understand the !!”

He didn't understand the , but Klaus also knew that there were serious mistakes in his letter

First of all, he had to listen properly to the argument of his foolish sister as exasperated

No matter what, because Ann was one of his few source of inforhter

”When I had a girl talk with Ericoneesama……”

”'Girl talk'?”

Klaus didn't really understand the irl talk'

Ann started to use odd words due to the influence of Erica Aurelia

At present, it was only Ann that could grasp theof those words

When such a story caed to follow his sister

”I heard the type of Onee-saentleman

That is, she has no favorite type, but there are the types she disliked”

”……Then we can guess her preferences by elimination method”

”That's right”

”This is important information, please continue”

”A s without permission

Also, a ly favourable, but in fact he has no interest in co”

”Certainly, that's a man with a bad quality”

”Worst of all, she doesn't even want to breathe the same air with them, you know?”

”Kuh, doesn't even want to breathe the same air……!?”

”This is serious, you know?”

”This is serious……”

Klaus secretly recorded Ann's information as an important item in the memo pad of his heart

These should be the profound reasons behind Erica’s state

If he conducted those acts unintentionally, there was a possibility that he would receive Erica's absolute refusal

Klaus thought so, not knowing anything

”After that, a man who suddenly hit her fro……”

”That……, isn't that a matter of course?”

Klaus was ashamed

What kind of experience did his fiancé candidate has when she was still an 8-years-old?

Was it an assassination?

Was it because of an experience that someone she kneas likely to be assassinated?

Was that why she soloomy eyes?

Klaus strongly set his will to 'I must protect them as well'

”There are s that I don't understand in this world…”

”Ericoneesalance, but in fact she hates a fierce man……

No, there is even the likelihood of human dislikes”

”Eh……?”

”Oh, Onii-sama is insensitive so you don't understand

Ericoneesaht?”

Klaus was further ashamed

He recalled Erica’s figure when he was staying in Spring Palace

Even without saying that he would be liked, he didn't think about the possibility of being hated

Because Erica smiled thinly all the time

”It is a sently, or rather it is a smile that doesn't let anyone come near—

No way, did you not think about that at all?”

”Kuh……”

”That it was a smile that absolutely doesn't allow people to shrink their distance beyond a certain point?”

”That……that is……”

”Even when she was surrounded by a lot of people, did you notice that she soht towards far away?”

”……Ah, I noticed that”

”Good! Just barely above the safe line, Klaus-oniisama!”

Rather than lonely eyes, they were dazed eyes

It seeainst her

No matter what he said to his sister when she was like this, he couldn't ords

Thinking about such a thing, Ann stared at Klaus with serious eyes

The older brother drew his body back a little Those were really serious eyes

”As far as I concerned as a younger sister, it is nice for Ericoneesama to become my sister-in-law”

”O-ou……”

”Klaus-oniisaotten serious yet, have you?”

”Ou……”

”Let's forgive such a weak attitude for now”

”Forgive, me?”

Why, do I have to be forgiven by you, Klaus trembled at the unreasonableness of this world

”Yes, you're still fine now Klaus-oniisae of time”

”What are you fighting against?”

”What are you talking about! Seriously, Klaus-oniisaht!”

”Ou……”

For aattitude

As expected woht

”In other words, what do you mean?”

”It's because Ericoneesama is beautiful”

”Nn……well, that's right……that girl, is souess……”
