I Became the Younger Brother of the Female Protagonist in the Novel

Despite his unpleasant tone, I replied in a soft voice without losing my smile.

“Perhaps. It hasn’t been that long since the Ardennes family was founded.”

At my answer, he let out a small sneer.

“what? Could it be that you are a new family?”

I thought Arden’s name was quite well known through the medium of newspaper, but… … . It seems that there are quite a few people who are not interested in that.

Or should he have revealed that he is the third son of the Spey One family?

but… … Well, if it’s a new family, then a new family is right.

At his question, I nodded once.

OK… … .

“Huh, then you mean you were a commoner until recently? Could it be that all of your friends are from commoners? No, rather than that, class A is right for you, right?”

The laughter around him grew louder.

Even the seniors who had been quietly drinking tea a little while ago turned their heads to look at me, and some of them showed a slightly surprised expression as soon as they heard the family name Arden.

I guess I realized who I am.

And the moment the eyes of the seniors focused on me, I shook my head slightly with a small smile.

“Let me correct a few things… … Unfortunately, I am a pure noble born into an aristocratic family. Until a few days ago, he was the third son of the Spey One family.”

My answer made the face of the 4th grader who had been arguing with me harden.

“and… … After receiving a recommendation from His Highness, the 3rd Prince, I created a new family called Arden and became independent of the Spey One family. The children around me… … The eldest son of the Marquis of Sephilod, the second daughter of Count Wilt, and the eldest daughter of the Viscount Selit, all of them are definitely nobles with a long history.”

When the name of the Sephiroth appeared following Spey-One, the guy’s face went beyond rigidity and became contemplative.

How can a person’s face turn white like that?

After a little admiration for that part, I let out a small cough and added the words.

“Kuhmm, lastly, we were all assigned class A by the academy, so I don’t think the cafe staff is at fault.”

After answering all the questions, I made eye contact with him while maintaining a smile.

The Speyone, Sephiroth, and Wilt families are quite famous in the Labadian Empire. I played a prank on the children of such a great family… … .

No, should I say it’s a bit over the top to say it’s a joke?

but… … .

“I apologize for any inconvenience caused to you, seniors.”

After meekly apologizing to my seniors, I immediately turned to my friends.

“We shouldn’t be a nuisance to our seniors, so should we go outside and share the rest of the conversation?”

At my question, they nodded their heads in unison.

The children of high-ranking nobles were also seated in this cafe.

There is no need for me to drop my image by getting caught in trivial provocations and disputes.

Rather, it is best not to mix conversations with such rude people.

Contrary to my thoughts, however, Ardeal smiled and then stared at the 4th grade seniors who played pranks on us.

“I will follow you. Please go out with the others first and wait.”

Following Ardeal’s gaze, I looked at the seniors once.

What are you trying to do?

I let out a small sigh and left the cafe with the children.

At that moment, Ardeal approached the seniors who had quarreled with us a moment ago. It seemed like they were talking about something.

Soon, I shook my head at the sight of the seniors whose complexion was sapper resin as if they were terrified.

‘As expected, he was a dangerous guy.’

From noble mtl dot com

Ardeal, who brings opponents to the ground with a few remarks.

Ardeal left the cafe with a bright smile as if nothing had happened.

You don’t have to ask what the seniors said.

“… … Let’s go to Central Park.”

With my words, our destination was decided to be the Academy’s Central Park.

Then, sitting on a bench in the park, the chat continued. The content of the conversation also included gossiping about seniors in the 4th grade earlier.

Didn’t the king also curse at him from behind?

Then, around 5 or 6 p.m., we had an early dinner in the cafeteria.

We were only meant to be for a few hours, but we were able to talk comfortably like friends who have been together for several days.

‘Well, that doesn’t mean it’s going to be difficult for me to open up like a friend I’ve been with for years.’

It’s because the time together was too little to reveal everything about each other.

Well, that part will slowly get resolved over time.

For now, this distance would be the most appropriate.

After that meal, we parted ways to our respective dormitories, and as soon as I got back to the dormitory, I immediately lay down on the bed.

“hahahaha, this is the first time I’ve had such a long conversation with other people.”

At the same time as I mumbled, someone approached me.

– Go to sleep.

A deep voice came from the left.

At that short word, I nodded once.

“Yeah, that’s how it should be.”

– Can I wake you up at 11 today?

“Yeah, you have to get up at that point so you can arrive at the auction house a little more leisurely. If you sleep now… … Can you sleep for 4 hours? Anyway, I’ll take care of you.”

-Yes, don’t worry.

how to say I felt a bit of relief when he said, ‘Don’t worry.’ Should I say I’m trustworthy?

Thanks to that, I was able to comfortably immerse myself in the water horse while drawing an arc with the corners of my mouth with both eyes closed.

Episode 38

38. Conspiracy (1)

“Father, so with the Spey One family… … .”

-First of all, I tried to talk directly with Count Spayone… … . It seemed that the engagement with the three sons would be a little difficult.

The second daughter of Count Wilt, Neris H Wilt, looked disappointed at her father’s answer.

Kayneth H Spay One. No, the boy named Kayneth L Arden, who became the owner of the Ardennes family, was evaluated as an excellent bridegroom in the current Empire.

A man who became independent from his family at the age of 13, became an aide to the 3rd prince, received the title of Viscount, and built a family.

If we think about the future, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the future of Keynes is as dazzling as the sun.

-… … As much as that, they say that the duke’s family is keeping an eye on the three sons of Spay One.

“From the ducal family… … .”

A Neris with golden hair and blue eyes, common among nobles.

She brushed her chin with a stroke of her hair.

-After he rises to the level of the 5th circle, if he accumulates achievements on the battlefield, it won’t be impossible for him to be elevated to the rank of count… … It must be unavoidable. Besides, high-ranking wizards from the 4th and 5th circles are very rare even in this Labadian Empire.

“… … But it will be of great help to the Wilt family as well.”

-that… … .

At her remarks, Earl Wilt couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.

Kaynes, who was sold to the Rose family as Daryl’s son-in-law, no longer exists.

The word ‘Spey One’s incompetent’ will no longer be criticized.

Neris let out a small sigh at his father’s bitter laugh.

“… … First of all, I will try hard. I think that now, having broken off the engagement with Lady Elizabeth of the Rose family, is an opportunity to win his heart.”

-Yes, this father will also keep in touch with the Speiwon family. but… … Don’t push yourself too hard. As long as you are happy, this father will support you from behind no matter who you hang out with.]

“I know. thank you. father.”

-Oh, and if you find someone else you like, be sure to bring him to the Wilt family. I’ll have to check with this father’s eyes to see if the kid is trustworthy.

Neris smiled awkwardly at his father’s concern.

My father was a person who poured out affection and love to everyone in the family, including himself. He may be cold and cold to others, but he generously shared his love with his family.

A warm person who always supports his children from behind.

That was the impression Neris had of her father.

– Then, stop resting now. I had a hard time today too. our daughter

“Yes, father, good night too.”

The light on the communication port went out.

Neris put it in a chest of drawers, then stood up.

She was still wearing pink pajamas, and lay down on the bed, lost in thought for a while.

“Whoa… … .”

It was still too early to think about engagement and marriage, but nobles were the ones who tried to maintain their status and power in addition to the interests of the family and the family.

A being who wishes to enjoy a luxurious yet prosperous life forever.

that is nobility

Nevertheless, Neris thought that if she was with Kayneth, she might be able to feel the feeling of ‘love’ in addition to the interests of herself and her family.

‘It was love at first sight that my father said… … Is this what it is?’

We only talked for a few hours.

However, Kenneth’s appearance, personality, and behavior matched perfectly with his ideal type.

“Your mother said it. Love is about winning.”

It was Neris who made up her mind while reliving the words of her parents in her head.

On the other hand, the time when the darkness began to sink deeply.

Ardeal, the eldest son of the Marquis of Sephiroth, sat down on a black sofa for one person and quietly raised his chin while muttering a name.

“Kenneth L Arden… … is it.”

He smiled and leaned back on the sofa.

Then he looked down at the papers on the table.

“Are you saying that the Ardennes Company is in charge of the family’s finances, and the Ardennes Mercenary Corps is in charge of the family’s military? The time when the merchant association and the mercenary corps were established was confirmed about 4-5 years ago, so it is safe to say that they were already looking into the future from then on.”

Ardeal rated Keynes quite highly. No, it was a boy named Kaynes who was hidden in a veil that was difficult for him to evaluate.

An interesting existence that appeared in the middle of a boring life.

“Arden, established 4-5 years ago… … . Did Kaynes personally establish the organization alone, or is the Speyone family trying to decorate something with Kaynes at the forefront… … .”

The deeper he thought about it, the darker the lines of Ardeal’s lips grew.

sh*t.

“Life at the academy will be quite enjoyable.”

* * *

After the entrance ceremony, a few days had already passed.

The time when Keynes began to adjust to the classroom.

At the academy, gossip about Sophia circulated in the ears of the students.

And Sofia’s younger brother, Kayneth. The evaluation of him had no choice but to gradually fall to the floor.

“No matter what, I’m only 14 now… … .”

“It must mean that he has been wagging his tail at young birds since he was a child. Halbert Youngsik must be truly heartbroken. All in all… … .”

“I heard that the fortress hangs out often with His Highness, the Third Prince? Besides, Pelliel Youngsik, the second son of Count Ward, and Viscount Roxpell were always with her around her.”

“Even at the main house, how hard the maids are treated… … . I heard from Lady Seline, but Lady Sophia was originally… … .”

As the baseless gossip began to increase, Sophia was instantly isolated.

Strange rumors about Sofia had been going around before, but the rumors were dismissed as nonsense because of her upright behavior.

However, when many male students started hanging around Sofia, the female students who were jealous of her decided to join Seline, and Sophia’s image as her sophomore year began to deteriorate.

and… … .

“that… … . I heard that you often hang out with Lady Sophia these days. Are you really okay… … .”

“that’s right. Bad rumors are going around about Lady Sophia… … .”

“It’s better to be a little careful at the academy… … .”

Female students approach Keynes with worried expressions and voices.

Keynes had heard about Sophia’s gossip even before she entered the academy.

And I could naturally predict who the originator of the gossip was.

‘… … Did Seline start moving?’

In addition to that, it seems that Delt also provided Serene with some help.

Kayneth clicked her tongue inwardly and smiled bitterly at the girls.

“I am okay. Besides, I can proudly say that I, the younger sister, know my sister the best. I’m not sure where the rumors are based, but how can an innocent person be buried so easily without any proper evidence… … . It’s really unfortunate.”

Keynes was genuinely outraged.

No matter how much you hate it I never thought he would spread such ridiculous gossip towards his sister, Sophia. Will there be other trashy unnies and oppas in the world?

It was Kenneth who once again confirmed that the two did not consider Sophia a family member.

After a while, he sent the girls back to their seats and recalled Serene’s face with a cold smile.

‘I won’t let it go the way you think.’

Keynes once again recalled the development of the original story.

And he decided to prepare a plan to defeat Serene’s plan.

When it was after school, Keynes went to dorm 2 for dinner with Sophia.

After a while, I found Sofia surrounded by several female students.

The moment the female students’ voices rose, Keynes hurriedly ran towards them.

Tada da dot.

“What’s going on with my sister?”

Keynes quickly ran through a distance of hundreds of meters and approached Sofia.

At his question, the 2nd and 3rd year female students frowned and nodded their heads! turned

“sister? Ah, are you this X’s younger brother?”

Is this X? She is a very talkative woman.

I nodded, furrowing my eyebrows in displeasure.

“Is that so?”
