Chapter 18 (2/2)
”Haa!? Look into ain, please?”
”Aa, I thought that she is beautiful for a child……Stop it, I can see your eyes……”
Klaus lost his nerve and turned his eyes away
Hidden behind her brother, Ann had a strange expression on her face
”In a few years Ericoneesae-flowered rose, she will become a peerless beautiful woman
With that indecisive attitude, it will be too late by then, you know?
Do you understand, Klaus-oniisama?”
”What do you mean by 'too late'?”
”Onii-sama Ericoneesama will inherit the vast territory of her deceased mother when she reached adulthood
Aurelia's abundant silver ore……What do you think will happen if there is a rare beauty there?”
”What's wrong with that?”
Even if she was an incoance to make her a wife after all
It was Klaus itched back with such a thing, but Ann's reaction to that was unexpected
”It would be a property that exceeded excellent quality! It would be very popular! Full of rivals all over the continent!”
”Wh……what……”
”For exarave of Harlan, will almost certainly aim for her”
”W-what……!? He's 26 years older than Erica, right!?”
The 34-years-old Urus of Lucanrant, the Margrave of Harlan was ru of blood
Moreover, they said that he slaughtered the husbands of the female population of the fief to monopolize them
Deliberately irls of the fief by having everybody enclosing on them
A nant by the passing of the second retted her circumstances and threay her life
Etc etc
In vague places where the boundary between law and huree by nobility was a normal business
But, even so, Harlan was killing too much people
”The infauste-sama
He is 10-years-old, the saest competitor”
”What! That Auguste! That's unforgivable!”
Ignitia's first prince Auguste was also a person who only had bad ru him
Born froreithout affection
Because the blood of the royal faons which were the guardians of Ignitia and he was unable to ride on their backs
He self-indulgently doing improper conducts, exactly like a foolish ruler
The bishops unanie of darkness would come if he succeeded the throne
However, concerning Prince Auguste, Ann didn't hear that there was a clear victim
Ann was of the opinion that it wasn't good to believe such uncertain rumors
Erica, as notorious as a future wicked lady around here, also was a real exa were completely different
However, if she considered it as a
Let's take advantage of uncertain ruht so
There were et e about evil deeds, this area was the limit
”If His Highness Auguste-sama was her partner, she will never be happy even if she became a queen consort Especially if she became a concubine”
”Concubine!? That Erica!?”
”But, His Highness Auguste-sadom
In the unlikely event that Klaus-oniisae was already decided, do you knoould happen?”
Klaus furrowed his eyebrows
If that happened, it would be a crisis of civil war
It had to be avoided
Because the old royal family would never endure humiliation by their own vassal
”But why are you familiar with the circumstances of aristocrats other than Harvan?”
”Because it's not an unrelated matter”
”How so?”
”If the political circuet rave or the First Prince”
”I will not allow that to happen”
”Onii-sama should never do that”
”Whatever happens, I will never allow that, especially you, do you have an ideal man—”
”Mou! Enough about me!”
Incidentally, even though she was tough to her older brother Klaus, her ideal type was her older brother
She didn't want to er than her older brother
So, in fact, it was Ann who had the ement talk
However, at first she was also on the fence about the girl called Erica Aurelia
It hen she was first guided along the rose garden of the Spring Palace
At that tiht that maybe she could leave her older brother Klaus at the hand of this woman
It shouldn't be necessary to explain that during their case in the deepest part of the Ruins of Visitor, that conjecture turned into certainty
”As long as the relationshi+p between Harvan and Aurelia is strengthened, e will also be fine”
”Yes Certainly, as far as you are concerned, this is not somebody else's problem”
”That's why, communicate properly with Ericoneesama! In moderation! Please convey your favor to her!”
”O, ou……”
Klaus turned his eyes away froaze
Originally oblivious to his own feelings, now Klaus' civilities were at rock bottom
He didn't kno to process and arranged his true thoughts into what moderate sentences would be like
”……You'relook on your face”
”Uh”
”……You look like you find it difficult and troublesome”
”No There is no such thing Don't worry”
”Then, a little bit ht, yet it is rewritten to ensure that Onii-sama's love is transmitted!”
”L-love!?”
”That's not it?”
”N-no, absolutely, absolutely, that's not it!!!”
”Aah mou! You're so stubborn……!”
Ann's scolding and Klaus' scream echoed in the beautiful Harvan's Gineda Castle
It was around a month and a half since the case in the ruins
A letter arrived at the place of the western duke's daughter Erica Aurelia
Written on a fine vellu noble Klaus Harvan
『A letter fro dwarf?』
The source of that voice was the Zaratan - now the black dragon Tirnanog - who had completely adapted himself to Erica
In the end, even if Tirnanog was to break free from the constraint of his armor, there was no particular problem
Right noere just in theleisurely in the hot water set in the tub
”Yes, that's right Gift from Ann-sama has also arrived”
『Hou, is it an offering? As expected of the girl who had given irl showed promise』
”Offering……? I wonder if it is an offering, hmm Well, perhaps”
『Am I allowed to open them?』
”Yes, go ahead”
When he received per finished up his bath
And then, he started unpacking with a cheerful air
『Ooh! Pig's thigh!』
”Wah~~……, a very top quality dry-cured ham How nice~~……”
The ankle of the ham rapped with a label with an emblem of Duke Harvan
It was a geed carefully
Or rather, I thought it was very large and heavy
The specialties of the East were the abundant of acorns froht up with tender white clovers
Such infor up to Erica's mind
『Can I eat it?』
”Yes Ah, save a portion for me”
『Umu I will I never starve my friend』
As a girl, was it okay for me to feel pleased with meat?
At first she hesitated, but Erica decided to banish her doubt immediately
Anyway, people who produced meat were not bad people
In thehis teeth into the ham heartily
”Well, let's take a look at the letter”
Erica opened the seal of the letter
At first, Erica was looking at the paper with a loose sradually her expression clouded
After reading, she stared into the air with a mysterious expression
Tirnanog noticed it and raised his face from the ham
『What's the matter?』
After holding her silence for a while with an expression that see fro
『’You are strong I will become a man ill not lose to you‘ Wait a minute, this is……』
”……What do you think?”
『A letter of challenge』
”Oh, so it's not just ination……”
『He is strong, but you can definitely win I knew it』
”No, it's not that…”
Erica understood that she e from the East
She didn't understand at all rong
This, perhaps,
She thought that she had made friends
Or that she ht have a decent friend of the opposite sex, for the first ti her previous life
Erica Aurelia chewed her bottohtly
Her level of huain by one
