Civil Servant in a Romance Fantasy chapter 109

Single, 21 years old, full of power – 4

I was torn between filial piety and unfilial piety because of my brother who was blinded by love, but when I thought about it, I realized that I was also a formidable unfilial person. In a way, I look like an unfilial child who is burning more brilliantly than Erich.

Aristocrats have a huge responsibility to pass on the generations. And among them, it is only natural that the head of the household and the successor have a heavier duty. However, there is no news of engagement, let alone marriage, of the successor who has passed the age of marriage. From the parent’s point of view, there is no such disrespect.

‘Why are brothers in pairs?’

The older brother has no news of his marriage and the younger brother is taking on an impossible challenge. How come the only two children are like this side by side? It’s amazing that the householder has kept silent until now.

Maybe just saying that if Erich found a matched partner at her academy, she would say, wouldn’t that be an indirect pressure? Wouldn’t it be great if her older brother had to find a partner first before her younger sister got married?

This is a difficult story. If you put pressure on them openly, they will avoid it, but if you say it in a roundabout way, it is difficult to properly defend it.

‘I have to do it.’

I have no thoughts about marriage right now. It’s been 2 years since that happened, but to me, those 2 years have a strong feeling that it’s still rather than already.

Of course, you can’t live alone forever. No matter how out of nowhere the possession was, he still lived as an aristocrat without any problems. You have the right, so you have to do the duty. If I possessed a commoner rather than an aristocrat, I would have worried about survival rather than marriage.

But I don’t want to do it lightheartedly. If I am now with someone, can I treat that person sincerely? It would be impossible I will commit the rudeness of thinking of others with the person next to me. I must have refused to talk about marriage with Marghetta for nothing.

“Wouldn’t it be nice to meet a good person if we were meant to be? It’s more than two years until graduation.”

I managed to organize my complicated thoughts and opened my mouth appropriately. First of all, she was talking about Erich on the surface, so she should be talking about Erich.

And no matter how many times I think about it, I think it would be better not to say that Erich is aiming for Louise. She said that for nothing, but her mother would be worried as her mother was, and Erich would be burdened as her Erich was.

In the first place, there is no need for me to step forward and speak in a situation where the person himself is keeping his mouth shut. It’s very ugly for an older brother to reveal his younger brother’s secret to his mother.

“Maybe I can meet someone after graduation.”

I added one more word. These were words intended for Erich’s spectacular defeat in the scramble for Louise, and words for me.

This means that Erich may meet someone during his social life after graduation, and since I am already going through social life, I will bring someone with me someday.

It may not be satisfactory from the point of view of the mother who called for the wedding, but what can I say that this is the best for me now. Better this than running away with a promise you can’t keep.

“So don’t worry. We’ll take care of it, won’t we?”

Anyway, I ended with the obvious saying that if I leave it alone, it will take care of itself. Looking at Erich’s appearance these days, it seems like he can’t figure it out, but isn’t her mother unaware of Erich’s ugliness? There are things that make her happy when she doesn’t know.

And while leaving Erich alone, it would be better if I left him alone as well. Honestly, isn’t I more trustworthy than Erich?

“Yeah, you’ll do just fine. It’s always been that way.”

Mother gave a small nod of her head and answered in a low voice. Erich’s trust has certainly fallen a bit lately, but before she entered the academy, she was a guy who trained hard on her own.

“Yes, you’ll be fine.”

Let’s believe in what we were then. He’s strange because he’s blinded by love, but he’s actually a good kid.

***

The tea party ended without any results. Eusenia, who had been preparing her words for several days, eventually returned her sword without being able to say a word properly.

“I’ll take care of your wife, so you can all clean up and go home.”

She couldn’t let anyone see Eusenia looking down at the teacup in silence, so she restored her maids first. Right now Eusenia wouldn’t even be able to give instructions to her ladies-in-waiting.

After confirming that her maids had returned, she looked at Eusenia, who was still bowing her head. She’s stupid Whoever said she didn’t expect to be forgiven at once. It’s just the beginning, so what if it’s already like this?

But no matter how stupid and foolish she is, she’s been a friend since childhood. If I don’t understand Eusenia, who will?

“Nia.”

She

When I called her by her nickname, she raised her head in response. Seeing her stare at me with unfocused eyes made her feel frustrated and heartbroken. Usually, if a guy with a pulpit gets involved with only children, why is he like this?

She took out her handkerchief and handed it to her. Eusénia quietly accepted it and looked down at her handkerchief blankly. And tears welled up in her eyes, and drops began to fall from her.

“No one is there.”

“Huh-“

When she was told that no one was there, the sound of her crying leaked out, suppressed as much as possible because of the face of being a countess. She’s already seen everything she can’t see, but now she’s lost her face.

“Ra, Laura, Laura…”

“Yes, yes.”

As I watched her stuttering my name and wiping her eyes with a handkerchief, I comforted her on the shoulder. I’d rather cry like that I’m glad if you feel relieved like that.

When he was in his 20s, there were no tears to the extent that I wondered if he had no emotions, but in his 30s, the tears increased. Will things change when you turn 40?

“So don’t worry. We’ll take care of it.”

I can understand it though. Hearing that from Carl, I can’t stand it. No matter how prepared she was, what mother would endure hearing such words from her son?

A seemingly ordinary word. It’s a comforting word that you don’t have to worry too much. However, considering the relationship between Eusenia and Carl, I cannot accept it as it is.

From my point of view as a third party, ‘Don’t worry, I’m doing well without you.’ I heard that, but from the standpoint of her party, Eusenia, it would be shocking.

‘How disappointed.’

Carl was a soft and quiet child. He is a quiet kid who does his job and is considerate of his surroundings. So, of the two brothers, he couldn’t help but pay less attention to Carl. Compared to Erich, who was too active when he was young, the knife was less used.

I was always sorry about that. Carl said he was fine, he said he understood because he was the older brother, but who would believe what he said right away. He’s the older brother so whatever, Carl was also a kid after all.

Nevertheless, Carl immersed himself in training without a single complaint. It must have been difficult for him because he was young, but it was strange that he didn’t even use tricks, so I asked him why.

“If you work hard, won’t your mom and dad compliment you?”

A young child who had not yet spoken of the words father and mother was already thirsty for affection. Even so, he only wanted affection, but the feeling did not turn to his resentment.

He just practiced believing that if he worked hard, he would look after him and someday he would love him. Carl was such a child. And that knife said to your face that it didn’t need your attention anymore.

Has time changed the sword? Or did he reap his expectations from his mother who cared for him only when he was on the verge of death? Or did the war, the darkness of the system, change the child?

“They say that the Asilon family committed suicide after being ridiculed by the inspector general.”

“Did you hear? Four counties collapsed overnight.”

“Now, I’ve forgotten about my age. But since I’ve killed everyone who protests, who’s going to open up?”

The longer the sword stayed in Jedo without coming to the territory, the more ugly stories about the sword circulated. He couldn’t deny the heinous story. Because everything is true

But I believed that Carl was forced to be like that because of his job, and that his essence had not changed into a cold and ferocious person. Fortunately, that belief has seen the light.

I came into contact with the servants at Carl’s private residence under the guise of a coincidence. Since he is Carl’s nanny, he was not wary, and he could only hear positive stories. He is a master who is considerate of the servants, who are common people, and takes care of them without any deficiency.

Then he was sure. Although he gained notoriety because of his name as the head of the inspection department, he is still a warm-hearted child. What kind of child is he, how tender is he?

‘Yeah, that kind of kid.’

It is true that Carl expressed his disappointment in Eusenia. Still, there is hope. If Eusenia sincerely apologizes and asks for her forgiveness, she is the child she will look after one day.

So let’s not be shaken. If even Eusenia is shaken by me, Carl and Erich will live forever without knowing her mother’s love.

“Nia, don’t cry. There are still many opportunities.”

Let’s calm down this crybaby first.

***

As I was walking down the hallway, I saw Erich’s back.

‘You bastard.’

I didn’t think much of it at first, but when I saw it, I was moved to tears. He’s the one doing the shoveling in the academy, but I’m the one struggling. Even now, isn’t it on the way to evade Erich’s mother who mentioned Erich’s partner?

Actually, this would not have happened if Erich had actively interacted with her mother in the past. Would she have said in front of me that if her mother knew about her Erich, she would if Erich had met her good counterpart?

“Erich.”

No matter how much you think about it, it is a problem caused by Erich neglecting to communicate with her family. As her older brother called her Erich to give her advice, she flinched as he beckoned her, but she approached obediently.

“Did you say hello to your mother?”

“I said hello at the castle gate earlier.”

“Not that.”

Where do you make excuses while pushing the obvious?

“Please call and say hello as usual. Your mother seems to be worried about you.”

In the end, she poured unplanned nagging to Erich. I don’t feel much affection for her mother, but isn’t Erich her mother’s biological son? She should contact me on a regular basis and build friendships so that I don’t regret it later.

“No, hyung doesn’t even call his mother—”

“I’m busy so I can’t give it to you. Am I the same as you at the academy?”

Anyway, it’s not my fault. As an older brother of this bad, unfilial son, I must enlighten him.
