739 – Two Sons, Eight Daughters-in-Law – 2

It’s been 10 years since I lived under the name Karl Crasius. In those 10 years, I can definitely say that he never made as much sense as he does these days.

“Master. Is there anything uncomfortable?”

“It’s okay. It couldn’t be more comfortable than this.”

“I’m glad. Still, if you need anything, please let me know at any time.”

“Okay…”

At the moment, Zenobia is Erich’s only wife and my only wife, and she treats me pregnant with care even though she is.

“The chef is happy because my brother caught a lot of fish. I heard they are all plump?”

“I only caught the good ones.”

“I will serve you good food that is worthy of the good ingredients!”

“Thank you…”

Although we are not an official couple yet and she calls me her brother, Sarah is looking into all kinds of conveniences with Zenobia.

Embarrassing. Zenobia is newlywed, and Sarah’s wedding is just around the corner. We are in a situation where we need to get rid of whatever happened so that we can have a happy and peaceful time.

However, a guy named Ajubu has been sitting in her younger brother and his wife’s mansion scratching his stomach for several days. It is an atrocity that has nothing to say about not only being criticized behind your back, but also being slapped in the face.

‘I want to die.’

Has she ever felt so ashamed in her life? Even if Zenobia and Sarah are okay, I can’t forgive myself.

But what’s even more miserable is that there’s nowhere else to turn to. He went to the imperial palace with rude words and said, ‘If you don’t mind, please lend me just one palace.’ You can’t say that. If I were the emperor, I would surrender the palace obediently, but I would not be able to decide the day I leave.

“What trouble is this because of you?”

“The one who brought me here is Apostle.”

When I looked at Lisi Anne, who had placed it in a vase because there was no place to put it, Lisi Anne retorted with a sour expression.

It was true, but instinctive anger welled up. She said that if Li Sianne had not been immortal, she would have been carried by me. She disposed of it appropriately and even burned her body.

But who would have known that that guy would pick up and eat the fragments that Jangsaeng left behind, and that the effects of the fragments would be so powerful.

“Who is the apostle?”

Anyway, I barely opened my mouth, suppressing my anger and bitterness.

No matter how hard she tried to think, ‘Are you taking me with you or am I following you around?’ That statement could not be refuted. So she had no choice but to tackle the meaningless title.

“It is true that he is the closest person to death. Once an apostle, always an apostle.”

“Have you not seen me acting like his master?”

“Well, that is! Death has a high opinion of the Apostle who released the seal! He is treating the Apostle generously because his contribution is great!”

“If that’s you, then it must be like that.”

“Ike… !”

Seeing Lisianne trembling with her face flushed red made her feel at ease. Surprisingly, insulting Jangsaeng is effective as Lisianne’s seizure button.

It must have been a great shock to Lisianne that Death, whom she revered so much, was reduced to Jangsaeng, and that I, whom she thought was an apostle, was now her master. If she were a normal believer, she would have lost her faith in death on the spot.

However, Lisianne is a cardinal of the Dawn Church and a madman who chose the path of the Death King. She is a fanatic who chooses to remain in indefinite silence, waiting for her junior to appear at any moment. Even her petite appearance her and her tear-jerking obscenity her her her could not break Lisianne’s faith her her her.

‘It is a scary faith.’

It’s a little creepy. What if that monstrous faith was combined not with Jangsaeng but with death during the prime of life? What if Jangsaeng had not lost his status as a god and fallen?

It’s a terrible combination like no other in the world. An evil god that even Enen could not completely destroy, and an army of corpses that worship that evil god. There is no separate devil.

“Brother.”

“Huh?”

When I was relieved that Jangsaeng and Lisian had been revived with a difference in time, I heard Erich’s voice and turned around.

“I’m sorry, but I think I have to leave now.”

And my body froze at the polite and direct expulsion order.

Finally, this day came. Erich accepted it for a day or two because he had brotherly affection, but it was too much to take him for more than three or four days.

“You stayed for a while, right?”

“No, well, I don’t mind having more, but… “

I was moved by the sight of Erich scratching the back of his head.

The younger brother tries to speak kindly to the older brother out of fear that he will be hurt. What a beautiful brotherhood this is. I feel sorry that I thought you were a tactless fool for so long─

“My sister-in-laws found out that you were here. Don’t keep me with you. Let me out.”

“Ah.”

Those words made me sigh.

“But there’s no way the sisters-in-law found out about it just now. They were worried about my brother, so they told him to rest for a few days, and then told him to send him out because they were planning to accept him.”

It was a normal consolation for Erich, so I smiled bitterly.

This is a brotherly love, but perhaps because she is a new husband who is about to get married, her eloquence and benevolence seem to have increased dramatically.

“Yeah, well, I guess that’s possible. Thank you for letting me sleep for so long.”

“It’s okay. This is the Crasius family mansion in the first place. Ownership belongs to the head of the family, my brother.”

After saying that, Erich looked at Lisianne for a moment, then quickly looked away.

I’m curious about Lisianne’s identity her her, but I have the self-control not to ask. It seems like she sensed that if she asked, she wouldn’t get a good answer.

“Then I’ll see you at the wedding.”

“If I think I’ll be at the lake then, I’ll tell you in advance. I’ll tell you I went on a business trip because of work.”

“Thank you.”

She smiled at the subtle consideration and began to wander around her island again,

“Have you reflected sufficiently?”

“From now on, I’ll consult first before picking it up…”

“Okay. That’s enough.”

Fortunately, she was able to return to the mansion before the sun set.

The small ball that Ziz launched flew high and then fell.

***

There was an incident where her older brother stayed at her mansion right before her wedding, but his unexpected visit actually helped Sarah relax. How could there be any reason to be nervous about marriage when there is a future uncle right in front of you?

Of course, under normal circumstances, your uncle may be a bigger burden than the wedding. Marriage is a fleeting event, but your uncle is family that you will see for the rest of your life.

But Sarah and her older brother have known each other for a long time. There was no need for Sarah to be nervous, even though it wasn’t the first time she had met him. She may not have meant to, but she survived thanks to her brother.

‘You can’t help but appease your prospective successor in return for getting kicked out.’

I started laughing without realizing it. Sarah was able to smile thanks to her older brother her being kicked out of the mansion-no, living homeless at the lake… No, living a wandering life in the islands. I am just thankful that the older brother burned his body for his younger brother and sister-in-law.

Still, let me not be the head of the family like my brother. What on earth should I do when I can’t even go home for a few days? To be honest, the sisters-in-law said, ‘It’s coming,’ even after my brother got his seventh wife. I would have just moved on.

‘Did your arm fall off during the battle to subdue the Death King?’

Certainly, an issue that sisters-in-law will react sensitively to is the issue of the safety of their brothers and nephews. My brother happened to have been in a subjugation battle, so it wouldn’t be surprising if he got injured.

If he was kicked out because of an injury, it would be a real shame. How sad it must have been for my brother to serve in the military while on vacation. However, he was unluckily injured and caused the anger and worry of his sisters-in-law, so it must have been more than sad.

‘…I won’t be kicked out.’

I’m glad I’m not the best swordsman on the continent like my brother. After all, a person must be reasonably competent.

“Baron Hardiner.”

“Ah, His Excellency the Marquis of Idrafen.”

While I was making a resolution to continue to live as a moderately competent and moderately incompetent person, Ainter came with her wife.

There were other guests nearby, so I couldn’t talk as much as usual, but speaking up loudly was no problem. The relationships we built at the academy are not at a level that will disappear just because we speak louder.

“Congratulations on your wedding. It seems like not long ago that we were anxiously waiting to see when you would marry Lady Sera, and the members’ wishes have finally come true.”

“It’s embarrassing to mention something that happened a few years ago.”

“Hehe, that’s what I said. Was it too obvious?”

Both I and Ainter burst out laughing at her own joke.

It’s embarrassing, but Ainter’s words aren’t wrong, even if they’re just a joke. When Sarah and I were in the pastry club, I remember how frustrated my brother and the other members were when they saw us. They aren’t the best when it comes to dating either.

“Rather, once the wedding between the Baron and Lady Sera is over… The fortunes of the Crasius family will stop for a while.”

“Yes. Neither I nor the matriarch have any intention of creating a new relationship. Nothing will happen until Teresa grows up.”

She nodded her head calmly at Inter’s words.

Even if Teresa gets married right after graduating from the academy, 18 years will have to pass. She might feel a little empty and upset after 18 years of hiatus from her wedding, which had been going on for 4 years.

“Hmm? Isn’t Sogaju older than Lady Teresa?”

It was true, so she nodded again. Since Fedi is one year older than Theresa, assuming she gets married at the same age, her wedding is bound to be sooner.

As long as it is done at the same age.

“If the matriarch’s blood was strong, it’s unlikely that she would get married smoothly…”

“Haha! That’s him too!”

At my words her her her, Inter burst out laughing so loudly that it caught the attention of her guests her.

Even the Marchioness, who had been silent next to Ainter, was seen trying desperately to hold back laughter.

‘I hope I inherit less of my brother’s blood.’

As I looked at Ainter and her marchioness, I prayed in my heart.

I hope that my first nephew resembles his first sister-in-law more than his brother. Even if he resembles his older brother, I hope he doesn’t have an amazing relationship with women.

My brother and I are enough for the Crasius family to become a rising star in the marriage world.

“We are here.”

“Let’s come!”

‘Ah.’

As soon as I could pray, my older brother came walking briskly, holding Pedi in his arms

And when I saw my brother and Pedi approaching side by side, I realized that the prayer I had said had no meaning.

‘Did they make it out of a mold?’

I vaguely thought they looked alike because they were father and son, but now that I look at them, they are so similar that even saying they look alike is not enough.

It would be more of a miracle if Pedi didn’t resemble her older brother’s relationship with women.
