Chapter 35 (1/2)

Voluue

Su its end

However, I orried due to Vince not coet in touch with me

I suppose that the work of the royal court was so that took time?

“I'et done soon”

When I was going out to the field to work, my older brother Nicks complained to me

“You're being really carefree If you get careless, you're going to get executed If it ended at just that, it would be fine, though I can't help but worry that I and everyone else would get wrapped up in it as well”

Colin, the fourth son, didn't understand

“Brother, he defeated five opponents in a duel, right? Isn't that a?”

My older brother yelled

“He won against opponents he shouldn't have fought! Colin, this matter isn't unrelated to you either!”

I was tired fro, so I stretched

In a location slightly away, Anjie was being taught field work by Livia

Thewhile uneasy

When they tried to assist her, Anjie stopped thele hand

“So you do this here, and──eek! What is thiscreature?!”

“Anjie, that's an earthworm”

“Earthworm? I've heard of them before, but…eek! Livia, is it okay if it touches your hand?!”

“This little thing doesn't do much Come now, continue on”

Colin pulled on my arm

“Brother, which one are you ?”

“Huh?”

I shook my head in response to Colin's question

Making a move on Livia or Anjie? C'mon now

Livia was the honor student and a coht now, but would be a saint in the future

Anjie was the daughter of a duke

I couldn't do any to to make a move on people out of my reach

“Look, Colin They're an honor student and the daughter of a duke household They're too far away froe is impossible”

“What does strike zone mean?”

My older brother said “Here we go again,” and resumed his work

“The honor student girl is a cohter of the duke household has too high of a social position, so I wouldn't suit ith her Understand?”

“Hmm, I don't!”

“Ha ha ha, how honest of you, Colin Alright, get back to work”

“Oka~y”

I did like them, but in terms of my strike zone──both of them would be an out for me They weren't even remotely close to that strike zone

I could already picture the ball

Livia would be like the ball bouncing before it reached the h

Even if I wanted to swing the bat, I couldn't

Darn…I liked how they looked too

Leaving that aside, noas the time to act for the future

Well, there weren't any changes regarding the situation at the duke household, so all I could do ait

I didn't think that anything bad would happen, but…I did prepare a old It should definitely be fine

…If not, I would be in trouble

Also, there was oneon the fields

“My nails are dirty My hands hurt”

The one cohter

I toldthe bomb onto my armor, and there were other circu like this I was thinking that soht to have been done for her lending a hand in the assassination attempt of her brother Well, I suppose that I also should consider the fact that she was half-threatened by a gang that the prince's foster brother ordered around, but──I thought that the standards of this world were strange for letting her punish boys like us normally do

“You were able to be pardoned with this light of a punishment You should be thankful”

“If you didn't cause a problem, I wouldn't have had to set a bomb”

Well, I suppose she was right So I also forgave her To tell the truth, it really didn't do e

“I don't want to work in the field~”

I had a thought when seeing my sister complain

This world of an otoame really is cruel

It was the day after

An airshi+p from the duke family arrived at the household

It seeovernment official from the royal capital took the opportunity to ride as well

It see me had been decided

I was surprised that a very high ranking individual aovernment officials came

Feudal lord nobles are grouped by a hierarchy, but royal court nobles, who held no territory and followed the king, were sorted into classes

Feudal lords could also be a part of it, but they only accepted barons or greater, those that could

The king was placed at the top-most position, so the crown prince was placed at second Royalty were below the second rank, and the substantial government officials that took the next top-three ranks were the cabinet ministers
