Chapter 228 – Everyone, Please Calm Down. #04

The atmosphere in the room changed.

It wasn’t the solemn atmosphere before, nor the atmosphere that had been heated up by Olga, nor the chaotic atmosphere that followed.

“…”
“It’s been a while, no, should I say it’s been a while?”

Glancing, glancing.
I was speechless at the numerous glances pouring in from all around me at the same time, so the red-haired woman, who was quietly enjoying the black tea Violet brewed, opened her mouth first.

“…What kind of honor are you using? Even if it’s a half-brother, you’re definitely an older sister, and you’re the heir to the family, right?”
“Can you be respected with a difference of only two or three years? Although the father of the empire deserves respect from the insignificant and insignificant nobles of this kingdom.”
“That’s true… But I don’t have any intention of asking my family to treat me with respect, so please relax.”
“Is that so? I don’t know if that will work.”

A part of her frowned incomprehensibly at the woman’s behavior of putting her words at ease as I allowed it.

In particular, Marianne’s brow furrowed her furrowed very clearly, making it clear that she did not like the current situation.

However, no one could express dissatisfaction with the heir of the kingdom’s insignificant baron family, at least to the fiancée of the imperial princess, the man who was certain to be his future sire his.

The reason, of course, must have played a big part in the fact that Isabella, who was sitting in front of her, was my half-sister her, Artin Ludwig.

‘Besides, it’s all the more so since I personally greeted Agnes instead of holding her back her.’

Agnes must have known that I had a bad relationship with the people in my family, so she suggested that I meet face-to-face with a low-level aristocrat, whom even her lady-in-waiting would normally not be able to meet .

In the etiquette of the aristocratic society, the words of the upper aristocrats are in some ways absolute. Seeing that Isabella, who was obviously coming to see me, was in trouble, she said that I would greet her in person, and then this kind of place was created.

‘…The interview where everyone except me and Isabella are watching.’

Xiao-Mei and Heavenly Demon, who went in to have a conversation, Olga, who was in the worst mood after being slapped on the cheek earlier, and even Sardiel, with an interesting look on their faces, are looking around together with Shirka, who has transformed into a human. Can angels and demons be so friendly?

Uncomfortable. It’s probably not just me who feels that way. I can see Isabella’s hand her trembling slightly as she casually drinks black tea in front of her eyes her.

It’s not strange. There’s no way an older sister who’s small compared to her large breasts her would dare to endure this place where the princess and the princess, the saint and the heavenly demon are watching over her.

“I’m still glad.”
“Yes?”
“I was worried because the rumors I heard after coming to the academy were unusual, because the younger brother I knew wasn’t that kind of an outcast.”

Because it’s a rumor, there are so many places where it gets stabbed, so I can’t get a feel for it. Given that the title of Red Madman still remains, strange rumors must continue to circulate.

“But when I met him again like this, my heart was really relieved because he was the same as Artin, who was intelligent when he was young. When I first said I wanted to go to the academy, I was worried that I was just trying to run away.”
“…Considering how worried you were, you didn’t seem to come to see me when I was locked in my room.”
“You know that. How much do I care about my father? I ordered the whole family to leave you alone after you shut up.”
“Well, it seemed like that.”

For a long time meeting, it was a cold and not intimate conversation. However, the people around him were listening to the conversation with interest one by one.

No wonder. Because I’ve never properly explained my lineage or family. I’m just guessing that they’re not on good terms.

However, Zorba and Xiaomei’s expressions looked very complicated. The two of them are well aware of the humiliation that Artin went through before I was possessed, and Xiao Mei’s expression her didn’t look good, especially since she watched everything I went through in the first playthrough from her side of.

“Anyway, I was surprised, because I didn’t know that Lord Shion Idris would be by your side. I heard that Master Rexton went missing after the accident…”

At those words, Shion’s complexion, which was already bad, turned blue and looked as if she would faint at any moment.

It seemed a bit unfortunate, but isn’t it one of the culprits of Artin Ludwig’s childhood? Thinking it was karma, he pretended not to know and shrugged his shoulders.

“That bastard, Rexton, used people and threw them away. I felt sorry for him, so I picked it up. Is it strange?”
“It’s amazing, because if you were like me, you would never forgive me. Same with Zion, and me too. So thank you for giving me this opportunity to meet.”
“… Murith, if she were that woman, I would n’t have met her, but since she’s Isabella’s sister, at least she met me.”
“They say that bystanders are as hateful as perpetrators, right? I’ve always been a thorough bystander, so I thought you’d hate me as well.”

Certainly, from what I have heard, Isabella took a staunch bystander externally during her childhood her.

However, she had heard earlier from Zorba that it wasn’t like that from the beginning. Originally, she tried to dissuade her excessive father her, Baron Ludwig’s abuse, but in the end, she could n’t stop it and succumbed.

‘It’s not something I wouldn’t understand… It’s not a world where a girl who goes from elementary school to middle school can challenge the authority of the head of household.’

…Well, it’s not like I forgave Isabella that much. There’s no need to deliberately reveal that.

“I forgave the perpetrator, but what could a bystander not forgive?”
“Huh?!”
“…Tell me what the business is. It’s not a good atmosphere for small talk, is it?”
“Thank you, then I’ll omit the mass phrase and speak directly.”

When I tried to ignore Shion’s thin screams and looked at Isabella, Isabella looked me in the eye, nodding her head with her utmost resoluteness.

“My father asked me to set up a meeting with you in person.”
“That old man asked my sister for a favor? It’s a request, not an order. Do you still live like that?”
“…Anyway, since Count Rexton came to the academy, he must have wanted to meet you and apologize. But somehow, Muris was being denied entry to the Gold Dormitory, so she asked me instead.”

When I glanced at Agnes at those words, Agnes just smiled without saying anything. After all, did our harem use a hand?

‘That’s why I screamed loudly near the dormitory the other day.’

I heard that after the last rose crown incident, Count Wise humbly accepted all responsibility for the incident and disqualified his only son his, Rexton, from being the heir.

At the same time, I heard that the count, the owner of the county, declared that he would personally apologize and compensate the victims, but was it my turn?

‘Apologize…’

The trouble was short-lived. In the first place, this was not something to worry about.

“I don’t like it. In the first place, as an agent of the warrior, I am busy with my work, so I do not have enough time to train. Is that so, Heavenly Demon-nim?”
“Yes? Alas, yes. Yes.”
“In the first place, they are not people I want to meet formally to get an apology. If there is something to meet later, please tell me to see you then, sister.”

I flatly refused. In the first place, if I had time to meet such an old man and the count, I would go on a date with my lovers.

..Of course, I know that my sister’s position will be difficult. However, I think that just by creating an opportunity to have a conversation like this, we have a good manner as a family. I don’t have to concede any more than this…

“Okay. I will tell you that.”
“… Don’t you ask for more? Maybe this is the last chance your sister can seize?”
“What shame would I have? I also came at my father’s request, and my purpose was to see your face her. You wouldn’t want to meet me even if you were like me, so how could you force it?”

Isabella’s expression her, saying that, somehow even seemed relieved. It was hard to believe that she was the kind of person who used to hide her trembling her while watching people like the princess or the princess.

“Thank god. If it had been before coming to the academy, I wouldn’t have refused. I guess our family couldn’t be a home to you.”
“…”
“The tea was good. I will support you and the warrior on your journey, even from afar. How are you, Artin?”

Isabella got up from her seat and smiled brightly as she said goodbye to me. Why does that figure overlap with her last one of her?

– “Run away, just the two of you with Xiaomei, run away as far as you can. If it’s the two of you, I’m sure you won’t be caught by the demons.” –
-“Me? I’ll keep the family crest Where would the family head abandon the family and run away?”-

…The expression of my sister who apologized to me at the last moment, unable to remain as a bystander, did not look so relieved.

…Oh shit.

“Sister.”
“Yes? Why? Is there anything else you want to say?”

When I opened her door and saw Isabella step out from behind, Isabella looked at me as if something was wrong.

You really seem to have no regrets, did you call me for nothing?

“I think I’ll be free in a few weeks… So if you’re at the academy, tell me you’ll see me.”
“… Artin?”
“I have changed my mind. I think I will be able to temper my temper if I ask him how he educated his children.”

It may have been too awkward an excuse. If you see that the expression of my sister’s expression of regret, which is looking at me now, once again dwells in regret, she must have realized my intentions of her.

“…You don’t have to. So…”
“It’s okay, so go and tell them. If I don’t say this, that damn old man will be hiding in front of the dormitory, but if I really meet him, I might punch her in the face.”

To some extent, this was sincere. Her tenacious and narrow-minded inspiration her will not go away smoothly. Then, to the story about me, one rumor will be added that I am a fan of beating my father.

It must be a rumor that is not very good for Agnes and the lovers of the harem, or for doing heroic activities with Karen.

“…Thank you. I will tell you that.”

Isabella listened to me and she stood there for a moment, then she bowed her head to me once before closing the door and leaving.

“Hey… Are you okay, Artin?”
“…Ayy, how are you? Wouldn’t that inspiration even in front of the count, Zorba?”
“You don’t know. What kind of eccentricity will the eccentric baron do? Isn’t it normal to see your daughter being sent away like this in the first place?”
“Then shall we take Xiao-Mei? When that old man, Xiao-Mei, stared at him, he always fainted and couldn’t even speak, right?”

Haha, I burst out laughing and looked around, but no one laughed along with me.

I felt a bit sad that the gag of conversion didn’t work, but I waved my hand without showing it.

“If we draw a strong line with Sister Isabella here, what would Zion be? I accepted it because I had my own thoughts, so don’t worry too much.”
“Do, Bocchan…”
“Okay, so let’s start the meeting while everyone is gathered, did anyone prepare countermeasures for this event?”

As I tried to change the atmosphere, people sighed and obediently followed my intentions.

It was probably because it was burdensome to talk about the family history that I had been hiding all along. In fact, I also don’t want my friends or people to stress over my family problems.

As people began to change their seats to start the meeting, Marianne came up to me and whispered to me.

“Hey, Artin… “
“Yes? What’s going on, sister? Are you suddenly finished whispering?”
“Is the title sister used for someone other than me?”
“…Yes?”
“Well, is your sister me? But I didn’t like it a little when I saw someone else teasing me…”

Sister Marianne, who revealed her own simple jealousy of her, dyed her cheeks red as she met my empty gaze.

“…Then after seeing Isabella, I’ll call you sister. Sister only calls Marianne. Got it?”
“..Huh! Of course you should! We are brother and sister who are thicker than blood. Right?”
“No, what do you mean when your younger brother hears it?”

Somehow, it seemed that the condition of the sister whom I hadn’t seen in a long time was not very good. Aigool.
