Meeting Favorite Fiancée’s Brother

“…I think it’s better if you don’t.” (Alexandra)

Xandra said with a very awkward expression.

Could it be that her brother Cedric is angry because I haven’t greeted him until now? What should I do?

“I’m embarrassed to reveal my family’s shame, but Brother has always opposed our engagement. He has a somewhat excessive affection for me as his sister.” (Alexandra)

Oh, so her brother is a siscon. In that case, it makes sense he would despise someone who took his sister away.

“Therefore, there’s no need for you to meet Brother, Haru-sama.” (Alexandra)

Xandra spoke firmly with a serious expression.

Considering the future, it would be better to build a relationship now. It’s because…

“Well, I may be a prince, but I’m the third prince, and neither His Majesty the King nor anyone else expects anything from me. Eventually, I’ll be removed from the royal family and given some random territory to leave the palace.” (Harold)

“…” (Alexandra)

“So, I’ve been thinking that becoming a son-in-law of the Chevalier Household might not be such a bad idea…” (Harold)

“!?” (Alexandra)

The moment I said that, Xandra gasped.

“Ah, of course, I don’t want to become the head of the Chevalier Household. I’d rather serve under your brother.” (Harold)

“I see, I understand your feelings well, Haru-sama. In that case, I will arrange a meeting with Brother immediately.” (Alexandra)

Xandra’s face flushed, and she leaned forward excitedly. Judging by her reaction, it seemed she’s enthusiastic about my proposal.

“Monica, did you hear that? Arrange a meeting with Brother immediately. Yes, let’s have him come to the townhouse from the Royal Academy now.” (Alexandra)

“Understood. I will make the arrangements right away.” (Monica)

With a very pleased expression, Monica bowed deeply and swiftly disappeared from the training ground.

I respect her initiative and eagerness when she senses something interesting.

“In that case, Haru-sama, you also need to prepare.” (Alexandra)

“Yes, that’s true.” (Harold)

“Hey, what about me?” (Casparleague)

“Of course, you too, Cas.” (Harold)

“Yay!” (Casparleague)

Even if he did not fully understanding, Cas was delighted nonetheless.

By the way, Xandra, is it okay to bring a magical beast to the meeting? What if they suddenly attack him?

“Hehe, the Chevalier Household will welcome you.” (Alexandra)

“Will there be lots of delicious sweets?” (Casparleague)

“Of course.” (Alexandra)

Despite a hint of unease, seeing my fiancée and my partner so excited, I couldn’t bring myself to say anything.

“Hehe, there’s no need to be so nervous. I’ll be there with you, so it’s alright.” (Alexandra)

“Uh, yeah…” (Harold)

In the carriage heading to the Chevalier Household’s townhouse, Xandra laughed softly. But I couldn’t help feeling anxious about meeting her siscon brother.

“While it’s fine when the Milady is present, please be cautious if she steps away even for a moment.” (Monica)

Monica whispered with a mischievous smile.

Seriously, does she have to stoke my anxiety like that?

“Haru, isn’t this exciting?” (Casparleague)

“Yeah.” (Harold)

Well, at least Cas is happy. Please, enjoy yourself enough for the both of us.

“We’ve arrived.” (Alexandra)

“Right.” (Harold)

I’m so nervous. I’m finally going to meet Xandra’s brother…

As soon as I got out of the carriage with Cas on my shoulder, I helped Xandra and Monica down. Xandra glared sharply when Monica placed her hand in mine, but I hoped she understood that this was just a necessary courtesy. Monica called me a ‘natural womanizer’, which I thought was unfair.

“So, has Onii-sama not returned yet?” (Alexandra)

“Milady, Cedric-sama’s class just ended. It will be a little while longer.”  (Monica)

“Delicious! Delicious!” (Casparleague)

Xandra asked while sipping her tea, and Monica replied calmly, without changing her expression.

Meanwhile, Cas, can you stop dropping crumbs everywhere? It makes it look like I have terrible manners.

“I wish Otou-sama could have joined us as well…”

“It can’t be helped. While Cedric-sama lives at the Royal Academy, the Duke is managing at the territory.” (Monica)

No, no, please don’t bring Duke Chevalier into this. That would be overkill. But, for the sake of my and Xandra’s future, it’s inevitable. It’s sad.

Gripped by anxiety and tension, I clung to my now-empty teacup, waiting nervously for an hour.

“Alexandra!” (Cedric)

The door burst open, and a platinum blonde with sapphire eyes. He was squinting, so I couldn’t really see the eyes. Still, I immediately knew this had to be Xandra’s brother, the young lord Cedric of the Chevalier Household.

“Onii-sama, thank you for coming on such short notice.” (Alexandra)

“Don’t mention it. I’d do anything to see my cute little sister.” (Cedric)

Cedric, beaming with a smile, responded to Xandra’s graceful curtsy. His eyes, already narrow, nearly disappeared as he smiled even more broadly.

“So, what’s this about? You wanted to see me urgently?” (Cedric)

“Actually, I wanted you to meet my fiancé.” (Alexandra)

“…I see.” (Cedric)

Following Xandra’s gaze, Cedric turned to look at me.

Oh no… his eyes, which were slits just a moment ago, are now open enough to reveal the sapphire eyes within.
