Chapter 2 (2/2)

And they got around to eat breakfast together

”Bwo, this is bitter…”

As she bit into a vegetable, Lena complained to Rudel Rudel had eaten it for five years, so he didn't , Rudel's meals tasted terrible

”It's full of nutrition, so you have to properly eat… cheell… no, don't just s it, you have to chew!”

The bitterness opening a hole in her stomach, Lena sed before she could taste the flavor That was quite a surprise to Rudel… so such a ht he… it seems Rudel and Lena were idiots all the same

And he taught her studies as well The ho more than an existence that merely existed, and even if Lena was in the roo

”One, twoo, three… lots”

”… It's four”

Perhaps Rudel thought her a nuisance at first But he learned how large her existence had becoht a cold When the one who always followed him around wasn't there, he couldn't help but worry to no ends

And seeing her following the following day, Rudel felt relief Realizing that, Rudel…

”Were you lonely?”

”Why?”

”Nothing Now don't be picky, you have to properly chew and eat… as I was saying, don't just s!”

At the fact he was able to have such a conversation over breakfast, Rudel gave his first heartfelt thanks

On yet another day, Chlust and a girl he didn't know ca down the corridor from the opposite direction Rudel and Lena had business ahead, so of course they walked on But Chlust and that girl walked right down the center of the passage

Rudel was the eldest son So when he walked down the hall, he rarely conceded the road to another He walked towards Chlust head one… behind Chlust, a few servants held back as they watched the situation

”Brother, won't you step aside?”

”Chlust, I'her than yours”

Brothers separated by a year, but those around thought of Rudel as an idiot, and Chlust a prodigy

”Rudel-sama, Chlust-sama is in a hurry, so if you don't concede the way…”

One of the servants said it, but Rudel wouldn't stand down He expressionlessly stood on the spot as he waited for the other party to stand down The one irritated by it all was Chlust Chlust would always hear it from those around,

'If only Rudel wasn't there… the one worthy of being head is Chlust'

They would say So he held an excessive dislike of Rudel's attitude And before his cute little sister, conceding the road to Rudel was unthinkable Erselica gripped Chlust's hand as she glared at Rudel, the brother she didn't get involved with

The servants in the area knew this wasn't good So while it would be a detour, they sent Chlust down a different path Chlust turned his back to Rudel as he walked off…

Seeing her brother, Erselica spoke,

”You just have to do aith him…”

Blood brothers with a large wall in between the a number of times after that
