Civil Servant in a Romance Fantasy chapter 136

Capybara in the water – 1

As soon as I returned to the academy from the island, I went into the dorm. When she entered the dormitory, she fell into bed by herself. Dazed It’s the first time I don’t want to move like this.

I feel like I know something I shouldn’t know. There is no turning back now. I wouldn’t know if it was before I knew the truth, but I can’t go back to the past anymore.

“When you take another wife, you cannot have a wife higher than the first wife.”

The words Irina said at her older brother’s mansion. That simple word was intensely stuck in my brain. It’s something I can’t possibly forget, and I can’t just get over it.

I never thought it would be possible to have multiple wives. Her father’s wife was only her mother, and so were other families with whom she interacted. So I thought monogamy was natural. Because I lived in such a world

But when I thought about it, all of those families were viscounts and below. The Baron Naiad family has nothing to do with more than a high-ranking aristocratic count. How do I know what kind of families such high-ranking aristocrats have.

“With time, my brother will become Imperial Baek, and the minister is almost certain. It’s not strange if he has multiple wives.”

It seems that he nodded his head absentmindedly at those words. The Count, especially the older brother who is scheduled to be the Imperial Count, a direct vassal of His Majesty the Emperor. Besides, if you look at his age, it is certain that he will become a minister.

It is not strange to have several wives and older brothers with high status and titles. When she heard that, she almost burst into tears.

I thought it was late. It was only after seeing my older brother who became close to the princess that I realized my heart, so I thought I had no chance. Even if I realized it early, I thought that I would not be able to defeat the princess who had a love affair with me before me.

If that’s the case, I’d rather never know. If I hadn’t known about my eternal love for my older brother, things wouldn’t have been this hard. How much I cried inside during that moment.

‘It’s not too late.’

It’s not unusual to have multiple wives. It must be a normal thing, to the extent that there is a custom for a first wife. Then, then I…

As I sneakily placed my hand on her chest, I felt her throbbing more frantically than usual. I am also in a position to inherit the title. Although I fall short compared to my brother and princess, I can still become one of the titled nobles. Then it won’t be enough to become the wife of Imperial Baek.

I even contacted Irina’s father, wondering if Irina was misinformed. A father with a title would know for sure.

– That’s right. The world of high-ranking aristocrats is complicated, so marriage isn’t simple either.

That’s right. Irina, the daughter of a count, and her father, a titled aristocrat. All expressed the same opinion. It’s cross-validated like this, so it’s not wrong.

“Hey, Dad.”

– Why?

“What do you think about him having multiple wives?”

My father was puzzled by the sudden remark, but answered.

If a noble gets married, it’s for a reason, and getting a new wife requires the consent of the existing wives, so it’s nothing to worry about.

– So don’t get too weird.

“Oh, yes.”

Fortunately, my father didn’t seem negative about having multiple wives. But just in case, let’s not say I want to be one of them.

In the first place, my father told me not to think strangely. You said there was a reason for everything. You will understand. I’m sure it will.

So don’t hesitate. You almost lost your brother because you weren’t honest with me. I got another chance miraculously, but I can’t let it go in vain.

Let’s be brave. To be with my brother. To do that-

‘Consent of the former wife.’

You must have your brother’s love, but you must also have the consent of the princess.

I brought out all my past memories. Have you ever disrespected the princess, or have you ever looked down on her?

‘…Isn’t there?’

She was sometimes scolded by the princess, but other than that, she was fine. Rather, it can be said that they are between good seniors and juniors.

But this is my position. The Princess might be displeased with me on the inside.

My heart began to throb in a different way than before. I can’t help it if I don’t get my brother’s love because I’m not good enough, but if I can’t become her wife due to the princess’s opposition, she might get really tired and cry until she dies.

‘You can’t look ugly.’

Let’s never look bad. If I only care about my older brother and hate the princess, it’s not like I’ll end up collapsing on my own. Maybe the older brother and the princess will fight.

‘I’ll have to keep quiet for a while.’

It is true that the relationship between the older brother and the princess has become closer. The problem is that they haven’t made an official relationship like engagement yet.

In fact, the first and the official first are different. If I show a crush on my older brother in a situation where they are not yet engaged, I will receive the princess’s wrath as it is. You might think she’s trying to usurp the first spot.

“This stray cat!”

As she imagined her head being grabbed by the princess and being shaken mercilessly, she broke into a cold sweat.

Actually, I don’t want to be quiet. I feel envious whenever I see my brother and the princess getting along well. I also want to love my older brother like the princess did. I want to be loved by my older brother.

But if the princess did that without officially becoming her fiancée, she would receive something other than love. So let’s be patient. You can get things done in a hurry.

“I hope you get engaged soon.”

A desperate wish that came out of my mouth without even realizing it.

Honestly, I think I’ll do it soon. Would you like to do it this year? Could it be that it wasn’t after the princess graduated?

If you receive the princess’s wrath, you have no future, so you have to put up with showing your heart to your brother for the time being. That doesn’t mean I have to stand still.

Rather, there’s something I need to do quickly before showing my heart to my brother.

‘I can’t procrastinate any longer.’

In the meantime, I was stuck in the past and pretended not to know how the members liked me. I did what I shouldn’t have done with a shield called trauma. It’s cowardly and stupid. It’s even more cowardly to have affection for someone else.

The promise to treat no one fairly and to be fair has collapsed. It’s a big disrespect to treat the members like before in such a situation. You’ve already made an excuse, but you can’t do more.

My heart is already elsewhere, but I can’t accept the hearts of the members, so it’s too ugly to keep neglecting it.

So I waited until school started. Naturally, I waited for the club time where everyone could gather. Enen helped, but my older brother, who was always in the club room, was also absent.

“Louise, what’s wrong?”

“Your expression is a little dark.”

And along with the relief of not having my older brother, I also felt guilty. You’ve been ignoring the kids who care about me. We need to push these kids out now.

‘I’m sorry.’

I’m so sorry.

Now I have to tell you everything. In the meantime, I intentionally pretended not to know your favor. I knew, but I turned away I’m sorry to say it now.

I even have to say that I will not receive your hearts.

It’s late. I mean, it’s too late. Still, it’s not polite for these kids to not talk forever…

‘Courtesy?’

Suddenly, I felt a sense of shame. Do I have the right to use the word polite? It sounds like you’re caring for your members. It looks like an action for the members.

No. I’m not doing this for them. I’m just doing this because I’m not comfortable. If I hadn’t noticed my feelings for my older brother, I might have kept my mouth shut forever.

As if you were brazenly considerate. I am cowardly and selfish to the end.

I bowed my head helplessly. It’s because I don’t have the face to see the members straight.

“Lady Louise.”

And I felt like Ainter’s voice was scolding me for that, so my body trembled. Hearing the prince’s scolding about the baroness lady, I’m also amazing.

“Speak comfortably.”

However, Ainter’s words were far from scolding.

“I don’t know what’s going on with Lady Louise or what she wants to say. Unfortunately, I don’t have the ability to read minds.”

Ainter gave a small laugh and continued. Warm, as if trying to reassure me.

“So I wonder what Lady Louise will say. I’m ready to listen to anything she has to say.”

I raised my head cautiously at those words and saw Ainter smiling.

“Your Highness, your speech isn’t that good.”

“I’m sure you’ll find what you were trying to say.”

“Haha, brother Ainter isn’t the type to talk a lot. The more he talks, the more he talks.”

“Erich, why are you still?”

“Unlike you, I am an imperial citizen.”

Involuntary laughter leaked out from the conversation behind Ainter.

You’re talking exaggeratedly to lighten my mood. It’s obvious. I wouldn’t say that in a play.

“Hey…”

Still, I can’t be hesitant to see that kind of appearance.

“I have something to tell you.”

If you say this, you might get hated rather than favored. The club may collapse.

“Actually, I pretended not to know even though I knew.”

Let’s talk anyway. Just like you did to my older brother.
