Rejecting Brother for First Time

“Haru-sama, this sautéed fish is also delicious.” (Alexandra)

The day after I asked Xandra’s brother, Cedric, about the adoption of son-in-law proposal.

After finishing my morning training, I was enjoying lunch with Xandra.

Well, is it fun? Yes, it’s fun, but…

“Well, I can eat it myself…” (Harold)

“Of course, I know that. But I think it’s very important for an engaged couple to have this kind of physical contact, don’t you think, Monica?” (Alexandra)

“I don’t disagree, but His Highness Harold seems a bit troubled. In that case, I, Monica, will assist with your meal instead of Milady…” (Monica)

“Of course not!” (Alexandra)

As Xandra, who was sitting next to me, tried to feed me the neatly cut fish with a fish spoon, Monica interfered and tried to feed me instead.

It’s great that they get along so well, but while they’re doing this, I can’t eat my food. Please, let me eat by myself.

“Huff… I’m full again today…” (Casparleague)

It’s nice… Cas can eat freely. The two of them are so considerate because they don’t want to be disliked by Cas, who is treated more courteously than a prince.

As I watched the three of them from a distance…

“Uh, excuse me…” (??)

A maid entered the dining room, looking somewhat frightened.

Even though I’ve been very careful to avoid behaving as I did before after regaining my memories from my past life, the reputation of being the ‘incompetent bratty prince” doesn’t change easily, and I’m still feared and despised by the servants… but she seems a bit different.

“What’s the matter?” (Harold)

“Um, His Highness Cardis has returned from the Royal Academy and asked for Your Highness Harold to be called…” (??)

Ah… it’s about leaving Cardis’ faction the other day. He’s probably going to scold me for it.  I knew this would happen and was prepared for it…

“I understand, I’ll go meet him right away. So, you don’t have to tell me…. I don’t need to tell you. Just tell me where he is.” (Harold)

“Y-yes!” (??)

I was about to ask her to tell Cardis, but seeing the maid’s frozen expression, I rephrased my words as gently as possible. The maid’s eyes widened, her face brightened, and she nodded vigorously.

I see. for the usually emotionless Cardis, he must be quite angry. At least enough to scare the maid who was merely sent to call me.

I placed the napkin on the table and stood up.

“Xandra?” (Harold)

“If you’re going to meet His Highness Cardis, I, as your fiancée, will accompany you. Besides, I believe his purpose involves me as well.” (Alexandra)

Xandra stood up as well, answering calmly and expressionlessly.

Indeed, Cardis’s summoning me, following my departure from his faction, is aimed at securing support from the Chevalier Household, Xandra’s family, but… the reason for her presence here is different, isn’t it? I understand that she’s really here to make it difficult for Cardis to berate me. Even though he’s my real brother, Cardis would hesitate to scold me in front of my fiancée.

“Sigh… My fiancée is so kind and wonderful.” (Harold)

“Haru-sama?” (Alexandra)

“No, it’s nothing.” (Harold)

Xandra asked curiously as I covered my face with my hands out of sheer happiness.

Oops, I accidentally said what I was thinking out loud. Thankfully, she didn’t hear it clearly. I need to be more careful next time.

On the way to see Cardis, Monica, who had overheard everything, tattled on me, though. As a result, Xandra was blushing up to her ears the whole time.

So cute.

“You understand why I’ve called you here, don’t you?” (Cardis)

“…” (Harold)

Cardis spoke in a low voice with his arms crossed and a stern expression. He seemed to forget that Xandra was also present. That was how furious he seemed to be.

“What will happen if someone who can’t do anything leaves my faction? It’s not like you’re aiming for the crown prince’s position at this point.” (Cardis)

Sigh… Cardis always dismisses me outright like this. He’s just like our mother, Margaret, in that regard.

“What good does it do to have someone who ‘can’t do anything’ in your faction? Besides, you made Wilfred your right-hand man, didn’t you? Then…” (Harold)

“What is it? Are you sulking?” (Cardis)

Cardis interpreted my reason for leaving his faction as sulking. He looked at me with a mocking gaze. From his perspective, he probably thought that it was pathetic to be upset over something so trivial.

For me, Harold, who faces a bad end as a mere pushover in ‘Ehaz’, anything involving Wilfred is a matter of life and death. No matter what he says, staying in Cardis’s faction is not an option. Moreover, I can never forgive what that man did to Xandra when she was young. That’s why I…

“I don’t care what you think. In any case, I will never stand alongside Wilfred.” (Harold)

“Huh!?” (Cardis)

For the first time, Harold, who had never once defied him, rejected Cardis with a firm tone.
