Became the Son-in-Law of the Traitorous Family - Chapter 64
10. April is the cruelest month – 10
Prince of the Empire, Heinrich del Cartesia.
In fact, he is one of my favorite characters.
Because this bastard was just an asshole.
He is in the position of crown prince of the empire, but he is a pitiful guy who has always been compared to his younger sister.
The only consolation is that she doesn’t know that her sister is not real and that she is actually a demon.
Anyway, it meant that this bastard was fine on the outside, but on the inside he was plagued with all sorts of inferiority complexes.
And Yurika in my house must know all too well how to cook such an asshole.
“As expected… It is the majesty of a ruler of the next empire. How can lowly things know your majesty?”
“Ha ha ha! After all, the Grand Duke knows something!”
“If Your Highness ascends the throne in the future, please take good care of me.”
“If it’s a brother’s business, of course I’ll take care of it!”
Obviously, it was a meeting that started out to have a light tea, but before I knew it, the prince and I were drinking.
It is no exaggeration to say that a human being is truly a model of a typical madman appearing in novels.
For this reason, it is impossible not to know why Lumina is constantly being discussed as a candidate for the next emperor even though she is in the position of crown prince.
Well, Earl Bright, who was looking at him right next to him, was really making an expression that he couldn’t open his eyes, but whatever expression that person was making, it wasn’t my business.
Of course, that’s why I’m trying to get along with this bastard.
After tipping the glass a few times, he stares at me with his face flushed red.
“You… He seems like someone you can trust. Very trustworthy It’s fundamentally different from the flattering and trembling people around me… “
Muttering so, the prince looked at me.
“You deserve to marry that child. By the way… Do you think I have enough qualifications to trust and entrust my precious little sister… “
The prince goes round and round saying that he wants to get rid of Lumina from her eyes as soon as possible.
“So, take the child from the imperial palace. It seems that the time has come for her to find her happiness as a woman, away from her state affairs, which even that child does not suit… “
I had to put up with a momentary laugh because the words were so blatantly intentional.
“Your Highness Haona, God is already married. We already swore at the wedding hall that we would love each other for the rest of our lives, but can we say two words with one mouth?”
For these words, the first step is to say something with a nuance similar to refusal.
Isn’t it an essential skill as a trustee to bounce off such a sweet temptation at least once?
“Huh, it was. Come to think of it, the Grand Duke was already married to the Grand Duchess… “
The crown prince muttered that with a half-glazed face, and then opened his mouth with his eyes twinkling.
“But the Grand Duke is not a hero. At least he is an undisputed hero who destroyed the demons who tried to corrupt this world after splitting this empire and separating the principality from the empire. A hero like that would have no problem even if he had several women with him. Cancer, no… “
I didn’t answer anything, but the prince beats drums and janggu all by himself and then gives random answers.
Of course, those words of the prince couldn’t be the answer I wanted so much even while filming an unlikely romance with Lumina.
Because Count Bright’s face, which had just been sitting still with an expression that looked like he was about to vomit, quickly turned into contemplation.
“Hey, Your Highness! That is, that is nonsense. How could an imperial princess marry a married man who was already married?”
Despite the insane nonsense of drunkards at a drinking party, the count desperately cries out his dissenting opinion.
Yes, of course it will. From the first meeting, he didn’t like me and tried to immerse me in it, but if I were to get married to Lumina, his life would be like a chicken chasing pheasants.
“Huh, Count! I haven’t seen it before, but what a rude person you are! Now that I am having a conversation with my brother, how dare you interrupt the conversation?”
“Your Highness is very right. I think it would be better for the Count to learn a little more manners regarding conversations with superiors.”
I hate a sister-in-law who stops me more than a mother-in-law who beats me. As I nodded to the prince’s words and snickered beside him, the count’s face turned red.
It could not have been the kind of face that would have spurned me right away if the crown prince hadn’t been here.
“If the Count had ears, he would have heard the rumors going around the palace at least once. A heartbreaking love story between my sister and the prince here… “
Actually, it’s not love, it’s something similar to affair, but originally, if I do it, it’s romance, and if someone else does it, it’s not an affair.
“Rumina was very smart from a young age, and she was a child with high eyesight. Does she think that a child like that could give her heart to someone else without her care? Such a child has been close to a man for the first time in her life, and as an older brother, I only have a pure heart to want to continue that relationship somehow. So don’t tell me anything more about this story. Count.”
“That’s right. Count.”
Softly.
Earl Bright’s hand, which was holding the teacup, trembled as if he had a tremor.
With this, it seems that the task of pushing that human into a political dead end is over at this point, so let’s move on to the final step.
In this way, I silently drink a few more bottles of alcohol to the half-drunk prince, put him to sleep, and then address the count, who is still trembling, in a sarcastic tone.
“Then why did you flirt with me from the first meeting? I thought I wouldn’t be able to find it for nothing.”
“… This f*cking guy You seem to have no ears to hear, so you finally show your true colors.”
“My true color. That’s a bit embarrassing to say. It would be hard to find a human like me on the outside and inside in this imperial palace.”
“I didn’t like you from the start. Even though he has a low status, he goes around condescendingly because he met a woman well, and he walks around with his head held high as if he were anything.”
“So to sum it up, I just didn’t like it. Fortunately, the. I also hated the Count so much.”
On the outside, the conversation was going normally, but the count was pouring out a lethal dose of death at me.
The kind of death that would have stopped my heart if it hadn’t been for my mental defenses.
“Yeah. Now that we can’t even eat rice or porridge, let’s compete with strength, is this it? If I die here, the Count won’t do anything good either, right?”
However, the Count, unaware of the fact that I have an absolute ability to defend against the mind, notices me as I am calm even though I am exposed to his own killing spree.
“… What happened to you To take my life casually and let it go. In order to perform such tricks, you must be at least on a level similar to mine… “
“Besides sweating, there are countless ways to raise the level. From that point of view, the Imperial Palace is a very good place. If I had known this, it wouldn’t have been so bad to just be friends with Ilibatus instead of fighting.”
“… You bastard, please.”
Now the Count realized what I was talking about and hardened his face.
“Now, if only I could take Rumina and her as her concubine, the day soon the Count would kneel beneath me wouldn’t it be? I’m really looking forward to it. That moment when the Count becomes an inferior human being who lags behind me in every way.”
“This… Damn you… “
Looking at the Count’s half-turned eyes, this should be enough. Preliminary work to turn the count’s stomach upside down and somehow make him hate and resent me.
“Then see you at the wedding hall, Count. Please bring plenty of congratulatory money. And it would be a good idea to pack your luggage in advance. Because I’m looking for a manor with good water and good air, suitable for the Count.”
Saying that, I left the room quietly until the last moment, not forgetting to be sarcastic toward the Count.
‘It’s done.’
And the moment I left the room, the drunkenness had long since gone from my eyes.
No, I’ve never been drunk in the first place.
As of this place, all preparations have been completed.
All preparations to hunt prey, called Earl Bright.
