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

A gothic building built on a site of 130 pyeong. It was a building with outstanding architecture, with the ceiling covered with glass.

As I followed Ardeal into the building, I was once again greatly surprised.

Around 15 round tables estimated to be 3m in diameter were widely set inside the room, and luxurious tea cups and all kinds of refreshments were set on the tables.

And numerous students sitting in front of the table and enjoying tea time in an elegant manner.

“… … Is this the Ministry of Social Affairs?”

It is to expand personal connections by exchanging with high-ranking children. That was the only activity of the Ministry of Social Affairs.

“Ah, it looks like Her Highness is also at the table.”

I turned my head to follow Ardeal’s gaze.

Luna quietly raised a teacup while surrounded by numerous female students.

Upon discovering her, I took a small deep breath and stepped back with Ardeal.

As the distance from Lunia got closer, the surroundings became a little noisy.

Ruina, who was drinking tea gracefully, turned her head toward the cause, perhaps because of the commotion around her.

‘… … Am I the cause of the commotion?’

Our eyes met her.

When I smiled awkwardly, she frowned for a moment, then put her left hand on her forehead. Then, he set the teacup in his right hand down on the table and immediately stood up.

“Should I say it’s been a while? Mr. Keynes.”

“I haven’t seen you since the school trial, so I have to say it’s been a while. Her Highness the Princess.”

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t use the title of princess. Call me senior from now on.”

Seeing Runia correct her title, I nodded obediently.

“All right. Senior Lunia.”

She nodded once with a satisfied expression.

Then he took his gaze away from me, then looked at Ardeal.

“It’s been a while since you too. Ardeal-kun.”

“Yes, long time no see. Senior Lunia.”

“Ardeal-kun… … Did you bring Kayneth?”

Ardeal nodded while maintaining a smile.

“Because Kayneth was thinking about the club, he introduced me to the Social Affairs Department.”

At Ardeal’s answer, it was Runia who let out a small sigh.

As the main culprit of the theft was revealed to be Serene, he thought that the hostile line with her had not been burned.

however… … It seems that he is not very fond of me.

Runia sent her gaze behind me, then glanced at Katarina, Neris, and Jade and the others.

“… … You have really reliable friends by your side.”

“I will take it as a compliment.”

“Of course it is a compliment. First of all, submit the application form. We will immediately approve the membership of the Ministry of Social Affairs. and… … .”

she blurted out

I tilted my head at the moment of hesitation.

“For Sophia… … No, I have to say this directly to the person concerned.”

Did he feel sorry for accusing his sister of being a criminal?

She gave a moment of guilt.

“Whoa, anyway, you’re also my sister’s vassal, so you should learn a lot from this social church in the future.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“then… … .”

When she turned and sat down, I left too.

And with the help of Ardeal, I received the application form, and soon started filling out the application according to the form.

When about 10 minutes passed like that.

buzz buzz.

The Ministry of Social Affairs once again got into an uproar.

While filling out the application form, I tilted my head.

Ardeal patted my shoulder several times and pointed in one direction with his finger.

“Looks like senior Rozen has arrived as well.”

I moved my gaze in the direction Ardeal pointed.

A woman with dark blue hair surrounded by half a dozen female students.

With her long hair tied up high, she greeted the princess with cold eyes.

Then I moved to an empty table and took a seat.

A senior is a senior?

‘… … It sure looks grown-up.’

I was slightly impressed by her appearance, which seemed more mature than the female students of her age.

Meanwhile, Ardeal smiled.

“Her Highness Princess Rosen G. Krantes is a cold-blooded princess who, like Countess Sophia, is the perfect match at the academy.”

“… … .”

I had no choice but to agree with Ardeal’s remarks.

Ice-cold eyes and dark blue hair.

It was as if cold air was flowing from her.

And the air around it seemed to freeze for a moment. The female students who were seated with Rosen sipped tea in a quiet atmosphere for a while.

‘… … It is certainly beautiful as in the original, but it feels like sharp thorns have sprouted. If you touch it wrong, I’ll cut you.’

I got a little goosebumps at her emotionless eyes.

That’s a human eye.

‘But if I make a connection with Princess Rosen here… … It will be of great help in the future.’

That fact has not changed. Of course, I don’t know if it will be friendly to me.

With that thought in mind, I put my fountain pen down on the application form and tried to drop my steps.

That moment.

“Would you like to talk to her?”

I hesitated at Ardeal’s question.

And Katarina and Neris, who were standing around, showed concerned eyes, and in Jade’s case, she waved her hand as if frightened at my actions.

“Hey, let’s be quiet if possible? If you hang out with the next leader of the aristocratic faction, your position will be greatly troubled, right? To think that you, an aide of His Highness the Third Prince, are talking with the heir of the Duke of Crantes, the head of the aristocratic faction… … .”

It’s exactly what Jade said.

Right now, the second princess, Lunia, was in this club.

If you had a conversation with the next Princess of Rosen, the next Duke of Crantes, at such a place, you would surely be hated by Lunia.

At Jade’s persuasion, not persuasion, I let out a small sigh and nodded.

‘really… … Nothing is at your disposal.’

From noble mtl dot com

Being in a position was such a nuisance.

I clicked my tongue and submitted the membership application to Lunia.

“Hmm… … . Yes, no problem. And if the time is right now, why don’t you join us? Let me explain in detail about this social affairs department.”

what? Wasn’t it that he didn’t like me?

My doubts arose for a moment, but I readily nodded my head at Runia’s suggestion. Opportunities to create a bond with the princess wouldn’t come easily.

And when I accepted the princess’s invitation, Neris and Katarina, including Ardeal, also joined together.

Jade, on the other hand, smiled bitterly as she pointed her thumb over her shoulder.

“I will decline. I have a little story to share with the guys over there. and… … .”

Jade was speechless for a moment. He glanced at Runia, and then whispered in my ear.

“Honestly, I want to get out of such a burdensome position if possible.”

Well, sitting together with the princess would certainly be burdensome.

“Then, see you later.”

Jade immediately left her seat and started talking to the other students.

Now that I think about it, Jade’s connections are quite wide.

I burst into laughter and took a seat across from Lunia.

“nice to see you. My name is Kayneth L Arden.”

I put my right hand on my left chest and introduced myself to the young ladies.

Most of the young ladies who joined Runia were descendants of high-ranking families, counts or higher.

Among them, there were some young ladies who would become the head of the household in the future.

In this world that shows meritocracy, if you look at one thing that is regrettable, the heir of the family is usually the eldest son, eldest daughter, etc.

It must be seen as an old custom that has been handed down since ancient times.

‘It might be a bit unfair that the second son and daughter born later have no choice but to be pushed out of the heir rank… … .’

But even in that sense, I was receiving a lot of attention from the heirs of other families.

“To build a family by yourself… … . When I heard the story, I slightly doubted my ears.”

“that’s right. At the age of 13, he was given the title of Viscount and even a domain… … . Normally, it would be unbelievable.”

The third son of a family estranged from the rank of successor.

Even in my case, I was the sixth in the Spey One family.

The chances of becoming the head of the household after being largely pushed out of the succession ranking should be considered close to zero.

However, despite this, I became independent from the Spey One family, established a new family, and even became the lord who manages the territory.

In other words, it created an exceptional case that is rare to find even in the empire.

“I heard you reached the fourth circle… … . By the time you graduate, you might be able to reach the level of the Fifth Circle?”

I smiled bitterly and nodded at the remark of a marquise’s daughter.

“It would be really nice if that were the case. But now, I plan to learn what I lack at the academy.”

I kept my attitude as humble as possible.

And is it because of that? The seniors started to show good feelings to me little by little, and soon they explained the space called the Social Affairs Department in earnest.

“You may have already seen it as you entered, but the space on the right of the Ministry of Social Affairs is occupied by the emperor faction, and the space on the left is occupied by the aristocratic faction. And in the case of the center table, it is available to all students, but it is usually used by moderate students.”

This is not to say that it is impossible for a student of the imperial faction to sit in the seat of the aristocratic faction. It’s just that the space that has been used for a long time is separated to the left and right.

Rather, there were a lot of first- and second-year students sitting at the central table. Could it be that they are the offspring of centrist families?

I sighed inwardly about the division and conflict between the right and left in the Ministry of Social Affairs, but on the outside I nodded my head while maintaining a calm expression.

“okay.”

If you do something wrong here, it will be a big problem.

“And the Ministry of Social Affairs is open from 9:00 am to 18:00 pm, so you can go in and out as you like during that time. There are quite a few people who visit during lunchtime.”

“Ah, by the way, non-members are not allowed to enter the club room, so if you bring someone in, you must obtain an entry permit from Mr. Lunia, the manager.”

Having heard about the rules to be followed and the facilities available at the Ministry of Social Affairs, I stored them one by one in my head.

Through Lunia, I made new connections with the children of high-ranking families, and I was able to safely finish my first day at the Ministry of Education.

“Then, I must go back to the dormitory. Let’s see tomorrow. Mr. Keynes.”

“Me too… … .”

After leaving the club, I said goodbye to Ardeal, Neris, and Katarina, and immediately boarded the carriage that was waiting at the front gate of the academy.

dump.

“Ha, Ministry of Education… … Did you just sign up? Maybe the exercise club would have been more comfortable… … .”

Feeling mentally exhausted, I leaned against the back of the seat.

And I put my legs on the seat opposite.

The moment I closed my eyes and was about to take a break, the carriage stopped and I heard the coachman’s voice.

“Brother, we have arrived at your home.”

“damn… … . again?”

Why are you so close? I wish I could give you a little rest. But I can’t just take my anger out on the coachman.

Wouldn’t it have been better to have a mansion a little further away? No, it would be better to arrive early and rest comfortably.

I clicked my tongue and put my right hand on my forehead.

rattle.

When the door of the wagon opened, I stepped down the movable steps installed on the floor.

“Whoa, yes. You worked hard today.”

“no.”

“Ah, I see… … . You said you were remarrying this time?”

“yes? Ah ha ha ha, did you hear?”

A coachman scratching his head with an embarrassed face.

I took out a bag of silver coins from my chest and put it on his chest.

The coachman lowered his head with a startled expression, then took the money bag.

“This… … .”

Upon checking the inside of the pouch, he widened his eyes in amazement.

“It’s a congratulatory money. I’m afraid I won’t be able to attend the wedding. and… … I heard that the woman who will marry this time has children?”

The coachman twitched his shoulders.

“That, where else… … .”

“I heard from someone who worked with you until last year.”

Did I think of someone with my answer?

He grimaced and gnashed his teeth.

“Mark, that bastard… … .”

“Don’t blame him too much. It’s because I’m careful to at least know a little about the people around me. Well, more than that now… … Please make me happy this time.”
