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

-… … .

Endairon, who was with me, also quietly frowned.

As a water spirit, looking at polluted water would not be a good feeling.

After returning to the basement of the mansion, I went up to the bedroom and immediately charged my gold points.

“The holy water of Uria to send to my sister… … .”

– I’m coming. The fact that the potion ended up in someone else’s hands… … I don’t like it.

It was just delivering things to Sophia’s sister, but Endairon couldn’t easily trust even the people of Arden.

-That potion has a greater value than you thought. As soon as it appears in the auction house, humans will bid higher than any other treasure. If someone finds out the identity of the potion… … There will definitely be a big uproar.

Of course, he had no intention of explaining the holy water of Uria to anyone.

However, if by chance you learn about the effect of holy water, or if someone steals it… … . Certainly, as Endairon said, a big event will happen.

Having heard the worst case from Endairon, I nodded while clicking my tongue slightly.

“… … First of all, bring about 500 of them to my sister as the first quantity. The payment is to be paid in arrears. Calculate the amount handed over and send the second quantity.”

– Why do you send it first?

“Well, if you decide to supply Uria’s holy water anyway, sending it a little early won’t be a big problem. Rather, it’s better to increase sister’s mana as soon as possible, just in case.”

-Hmm… … . That’s it too. Well, wait a minute.

Endairon closed his eyes for a moment.

He was probably sending a telegram to Elaim.

And maybe 2-3 minutes have passed?

Endairon opened his eyes and looked at me.

– You replied that it’s okay to do as you please.

“… … Has your sister been awake all this time?”

-It seems that you are currently exploring a dungeon. They say you’re on watch now.

“really… … You’re having a hard time buying it.”

By now, there must be guys following my sister. These guys are kind of like colleagues and subordinates.

It wouldn’t matter if I left the vigil to those guys… … .

“Haa, then tell my sister to call me when she comes out of the dungeon. We will send the quantity according to the time.”

-i get it.

Endairon nodded and closed his eyes once more.

Watching the scene, I immediately lay down on the bed.

“Good children should go to bed soon. That way you will grow taller.”

-A good child… … . yes, sleep

Endairon moved to the table with a smile as if he had finished the transmission before he knew it.

I glanced at him once, then immediately closed my eyes.

After closing my eyes, it seemed like 5 to 10 minutes had passed, but at Abel’s call to get up, I groaned, covering my face with the blanket.

“Okay… … . I don’t think I slept for 10 minutes… … .”

Abel who disturbs the oversleeping.

Eventually, after breakfast, I was able to get back into the futon again.

Just going up and down the stairs must have been enough morning exercise. Yes, it will.

“… … .”

When I woke up on the bed again, it was already 1:00 PM.

I started preparing for the party just like yesterday.

You made such a fuss yesterday… … Today, let’s quietly hide in a corner, hand over the top-notch potion to Rosen, and go back.

Delt, who was the main culprit of the commotion, will not be able to attend the party of today and tomorrow.

Besides, Seline was also slapped by Grans, so she’ll be quiet today and tomorrow.

‘If possible, I should avoid conspicuous behavior as much as possible.’

Thinking so, I visited the imperial castle, but maybe it was because of my appearance? Or maybe it’s because of yesterday’s performance… … .

The moment you enter the party.

Having received countless stares, I was surrounded by the young ladies in the blink of an eye.

My plan to stay quietly in a corner was overruled, and in the end, I had to keep my mouth busy while talking to close to ten young ladies.

* * *

On the other hand, several groups of girls cast a stinging glance at Keynes, who is surrounded by young girls.

“joy! Today, too, you are surrounded by young ladies.”

“Are all the spirits of the Spey One family only prodigals?”

“Tsk, I’m sure you’ll regret it greatly if you marry a guy like that, right? Guys like that are always cheating.”

The eyes of the Youngshiks mixed with jealousy and anger.

However, some young ladies had slightly different thoughts.

Rumors that ‘Viscount Kayneth L Ardennes is a romanticist’ stimulated their rich imagination.

“Look at those spirits. It’s really ugly to see you jealous.”

“Iknow, right. It would be best if you at least look back at yourself… … .”

The young ladies threw a few words of criticism at the crowd who were glaring at Keynes.

and… … .

“Why do the daughters of the imperial families wag their tails like that? Do you really not know what shame is? … .”

“I don’t feel the dignity of an aristocrat at all. It’s like a puppy trying to get some beans from Viscount Arden.”

The aristocrats burst into ridicule at the ladies of the imperial family surrounding Kayneth.

Chapter 75

75. Emperor’s birthday party (9)

Among the whispering ladies, Rosen, the first princess of the Duke of Crantes, was looking for an opportunity to contact Keynes.

‘Surely, I said I would hand over the potion today… … . Are you going to hand it over after the party?’

Unlike usual, she moved her pupils quickly as if a little impatient.

The head of the Duke of Crantes, Ruries G Crantes.

She was poisoned without even knowing it.

A maid who fed the duke a small amount of poison in her food, little by little, day by day. The maid hurriedly submitted a letter of resignation just before the duke showed symptoms, and immediately left the estate and disappeared from the Krantes family’s sight.

Now I was able to endure it somehow through painkillers, but the limit was to literally endure every day.

When the congressman said that it would be difficult to even move his body in a few months, Rosen was upset.

The Duke of Crantes suspected that the crime was the work of the emperor faction. No, that would be the best guess.

‘… … Still, the Ardennes family would have nothing to do with this crime. No, there’s no reason to implicate Kayneth. It is most likely that high-ranking nobles even in the imperial faction planned it.’

Rosen gritted his teeth.

‘I will find all the people involved in this crime and pay them back.’

She clenched her fists and vowed revenge.

But revenge is something to think about after my mother gets well. Right now, the top priority is the complete recovery of Duke Luries G. Crantes, the leader of the aristocratic faction.

So she bit her lip and looked at Kayneth once, then turned her head and looked with concern at her mother, who was mingling with the aristocratic crowd.

If the head of the aristocratic faction, the Duke of Crantes, were shaken, the imperial faction would surely start moving as if they had seized the opportunity.

For that reason, the mother’s illness had to be hidden as much as possible.

On the contrary, Ruries showed a healthy figure.

‘Mother would have a hard time even standing at this hour. Besides, after a month… … .’

A deadly poison that cannot be detoxified even with advanced potions.

Even the senator couldn’t guess which poison was used.

The councilor confidently said that if Luries hadn’t been a 4th Circle mage, he would have been near death by now.

And Rozen’s heart throbbed at the sight of his mother smiling in front of the nobles despite being poisoned by such poison.

‘… … .I will never forgive you.’

As she conversed with the other nobles, she glanced at Kayneth.

And the time when the party slowly came to an end.

Keynes nodded at Rosen.

Upon receiving the signal, she immediately escaped to the terrace.

No matter how much it is night, it is summer in August. The cold wind flowing from the magic tool lowered the temperature of the party.

And is it because of that? None of the nobles wanted to come out onto the sweltering terrace.

“Here it is.”

Thanks to this, Kayneth was able to secretly hand over the highest quality potion.

Rosen looked at the small glass bottle held in Keynes’ right hand.

“this… … .”

“Yes, the best known potion is a potion. It is an elixir that even a severed body can be regenerated in an instant. Even if the human body is infected with deadly poison, it is said to recover quickly.”

“You mean if you really use this, everything can be cured?”

“Apart from reviving the dead, perhaps… … .”

In response to Keynes’ answer, she let out a small sigh and nodded her head. Soon after, he handed the subspace pouch containing the money to Kayneth.

“Thank you very much. If you ever need help in the future, feel free to let me know. If it is possible in my line, I will do my best to help.”

“The Crantes family’s help… … . I feel reassured just by the words. However, if the customer is satisfied with me, that is enough.”

At that, Rosen smiled and closed his eyes.

“Huh, you’ve completely become a merchant. If I hadn’t had a fiancée, I’d be sure Kayneth… … .”

“Ahahahaha… … . It’s an honor just to say it.”

When Keynes replied with a hearty laugh, Rosen shook his head with a serious expression.

“You are already special in being able to obtain the highest quality potion so easily. Anyway, I’ll have to go back.”

“Yes, I understand. Then, I hope you have peace tonight… … .”

Rosen turned her head away from Keynes. Until the moment she left the terrace, she sensed that Keynes was the owner of the gold.

Late in the morning, the knights of the Crantes family sent to the Gold Rush auction house. According to them, the owner of gold is less than 170 cm tall and has a skinny physique.

A conjecture close to certainty. Of course, high-ranking aristocrats who are interested in the auction house would know that to some extent.

There was no way to ascertain where the hell he was getting those enormous treasures from, but it was quickly ascertained that his wealth was astronomical.

‘If you look at the transaction history so far… … . No, considering the possibility of intermediary trade, will the amount of property be drastically reduced?’

Rosen let out a small sigh.

‘… … It might be possible to move supplies from the Ardennes Corporation.’

The time the party ended.

She hurried to the bedroom where her mother was staying.

The highest grade potion held in the right hand. This small vial alone holds the value of 1,020 gold coins.

It was certainly a staggering amount, but if it could save my mother’s life… … I’d have to say it’s cheap.

Rosen speculated that it would be more certain to obtain the goods through Kaynes than to secure the goods through rumors. That’s why I tried to meet Kenneth.

Of course, the encounter on the street was 100% coincidence.

However, being together with him at Spayone Clothing Store and Arden Clothing Store is just a cornerstone for conversation. In the first place, Rosen did not have to visit Spey One and the Arden clothing store.

The dresses that are overflowing even in the hometown. Among them, I had already brought the things I liked into the system, so there was no reason to visit a clothing store.

‘but… … The gamble was a success.’

Even at that time, it was unclear whether Kayneth was the owner of the gold, or whether he had a close relationship with the owner of the gold.

However, since I was able to obtain such a top-notch potion through him, it must be said that it was a successful gamble.

She went to the bedroom of Duke Luries G. Crantes, assigned by the imperial family.

“really… … .”

“Yes, this is the best potion I got secretly. According to the congressman, it will surely restore my mother.”

“I heard that all the top-notch potions produced in the Labadian Empire were used a long time ago. But this… … Did you visit the auction house?”

“… … It’s a bit similar.”

Rosen smiled awkwardly and nodded. Then, Luries looked at the glass bottle containing the red liquid with a small smile.

“The owner of gold, it seems he has brought the best potion again.”

However, it was none other than Rosen who had saved it.

Ruries carefully hugged her daughter once.

“I’m sorry. I’ve worried you too.”

“I’m worried for nothing… … . I did what I was supposed to do as a daughter.”

At Rosen’s answer, Ruries nodded once and opened the cap of the glass bottle.

A red liquid that oozes like blood.

She drank the potion without hesitation.

Of course, it’s not an amount enough to use the expression of inhaling. It’s only a small amount of 10mL.

However, even in the Mage’s Tower, it is said to be the highest quality potion created by condensing and evaporating dozens or hundreds of advanced potions in succession. Even in small amounts, the effect is obvious.

After drinking the potion, Ruries was silent for a moment.

Soon, she put her hand on her chest.

“Certainly a lot of pain in the chest… … No, it seems to be almost gone.”

The pain from earlier had disappeared as if it were a lie.

The pain continued despite the use of painkillers and various potions. As the pain fell asleep in an instant, Ruries groped his body with a surprised expression.

The first potion I ever drank in my life.

The Crantes family also had the best potions prepared just in case. However, most of them were used by the former Duke of Crantes, and the remaining one was also used for her husband, who was seriously injured in the war with the Northern Allies.

“Whoa… … . Next year… … No, I guess I’ll have to send someone to the Gold Rush auction house starting this year. I need to prepare the highest quality potion in advance.”

The Duke of Crantes usually had a lot of high, intermediate, and low-grade potions piled up.

Most poisons and wounds could be sufficiently treated with high-grade potions, so Luries did not have the need to invest a lot of money to stock up on the highest-grade potions, but through this incident, she strongly realized the importance of the highest-grade potions.

There is no guarantee that a situation like this will not happen in the future.

“and… … They say that the maid who poisoned me crossed the border of the Arcad Kingdom, which borders the southern part of the empire.”

“then… … .”

“… … First of all, since we have asked the Arkad Kingdom for cooperation, we will have to observe the situation a little longer.”
