6 – 6 – If I’m the elder sister, I must protect my younger brother at the Grand Duke of Frigid’s office.
“Lord, no, Mother! What are you saying?” The eldest daughter, Lillith, was yelling at Camilla Frigid, the head of the family and their mother. “Just as I said, the location of the royal debutante ball is…” “Why is it that the royal debutante ball is held at our grand ducal estate?” “Well ….”
Generally, Lillith, who had always been disciplined from a young age, could never raise her voice to her mother. However, because it was about her brother Edward, she was losing herself. Even her mother, Camilla, was not taking it too seriously. That’s because Lillith, who was likely to be the next head of the family, was doing her job well. However, because Camilla perceives Lillith’s affection for her younger brother to be increasingly excessive with each passing day, she has no choice but to worry as a mother, not just as the future Lady of the House.
“Rather, we can throw a separate debutante ball! Let’s tell the palace not to come here!” “Lillith… the palace is already arranging it.” “No, that can’t be… Edward!!” Thud. To anyone who saw it, it could be mistaken that Edward was about to die, from the way Lillith fell to her knees with a tragic expression. Watching her daughter collapse, Camilla could only breathe a deep sigh. “Hmm… Lillith… I know you love Edward, but…” “It’s not just because I love him! That damn little pink-haired girl has gone mad!”
“Hey! You mustn’t speak that way about the princess, you never know who might be listening.”
“It doesn’t matter! I have to protect Ed!”
Why is she acting like this?
No matter how strong the lineage, the opposing party is still the royal family after all.
Of course, not just Camilla, her mother, but everyone cherishes and dotes on Ed, being the youngest.
This favoritism, devoid of any tact, to the point of going blind, made it hard to understand her behavior.
“Sigh… I truly love and cherish Ed too… But surely the princess is a good match for him?”
“No!”
“Then who is good enough for him?”
“Well…”
It seems as if she’s already resigned to the idea of separating from her younger brother one day.
I know she’s been upset and feeling reluctant, but if one has to let go, there’s no one better than the princess.
Even excluding the title of princess.
Because there’s not a single flaw, whether it’s her abilities, looks, or anything else.
If one has to send their loving son to a new family, who else would be better than Princess Charlotte?
Camilla, in spite of being her mother, tried to console her daughter who struggled to answer.
“See, there won’t be… “
“Ed is not going to get married!”
“Well then…”
However, the forthcoming answer was always an unwavering NO.
Although she’s Camilla’s daughter, naturally, she would be curious about who she got this from.
.
.
“Damn that pink-haired wench!”
Lilith had no choice but to stridently leave her mother’s office.
The cursed woman had, without even asking for permission,
determined the location of the royal debutante ball at the Grand Duke Fraser’s place, and was proceeding to advance all matters efficiently.
“Should I just commit treason..”
Really, if because of this forced debutante ball,
my younger brother ended up connected to that woman..
Ohoho, Lilith!
I’ll take good care of your Ed!
Big Sister!! Aaargh!!
“No!!”
Crash!!
Crack…
The thought alone was so horrifying that she unwittingly ended up smashing the wall next to her.
Even if it seems completely destroyed, it can’t be helped.
It’s all the fault of the pink-haired princess.
What should I do.
Even if the debutante ball is held at the Grand Duke’s place, Ed doesn’t have to attend, right? Given that my younger brother obviously hates it, he would be happy to stay in the room and not come out.
However, that doesn’t mean she will give up.
“There’s no way…”
If it’s that pink-haired girl, she might have gotten off her debut in Ed’s room.
“Oh…poor Ed!”
Lilith is worried about her younger brother who has just heard this news.
She is quickly heading towards Edward’s room.
As soon as she arrived at the door of her younger brother’s room…
From inside his room…
She could hear the cries of the maid serving her brother and the half-dragon knight.
“Prince, you can’t do this!!”
“We absolutely can’t, Prince!!”
From Noble mtl dot com
What is happening that it has come to this?
Could it be!? Is he heartbroken and lying down?!
“No, Ed!!”
– Thud!
“S, Sister? / Princess? / Lilith?”
As she walked in, three pairs of eyes turned to her in surprise.
Lilith ignored their reactions for now, taking measure of the situation as she surveyed everyone in the room.
And upon confirmation.
“Wh, what on earth are you doing, Ed!”
Lilith couldn’t help but be shocked.
Because.
“Sister, it has been a pleasure.”
“No! Prince!”
“If you must go, I’ll follow you!”
“Oh, come on!”
“Ah… Ah…”
Her loving younger brother was packing his bags.
With his frail body, what was it that he packed so much of?
A full travel backpack was visible.
What on earth was he talking about all of a sudden?
Even if a scandal caused by the conniving pink-haired woman would arise from the public affair.
This seemed like too drastic a move.
She could protect him if he merely stayed inside the room.
Even if that woman stormed in, she could be stopped.
Why is he trying to leave her?
“You can’t, Ed!!”
She screamed, trying to immediately stop her brother’s rash action like the two next to her.
“I am now an adult! I can live on my own..”
“What do you mean as a man! Prince!”
“Yes! I’ll follow you if I have to!”
“No, why the fuss! I can do it alone!”
His decision seemed unwavering.
“Stop!!”
“Si, Sis?”
Lilith raised her voice in anger.
Towards her beloved younger brother, she had never even uttered a harsh word.
Her brother looked genuinely surprised.
Looking at his expression, it pained her heart deeply, but
It was necessary.
Ed leaving the house.
Leaving her side.
“Emma. Grace.”
“Yes, Milady.”
“Argh! Why are you doing this!”
Upon receiving her command, before she could finish her instruction, they naturally grabbed Edward’s arms.
“Do surveillance in shifts, 24 hours a day.”
“Yes! Understood.”
“What is all this! Sis! Grace! Emma!”
“Going out alone in a man’s body is too dangerous in a public place.”
“Grace is right, My lord!”
“No, what the he..”
“Ed!”
“Yes..sis?”
“I know what you’re worried about, but I’m here to protect you.”
“No need..”
“You can never be left alone, understood!?”
“Yes!”
“No!!”
Unbelievable… I’m cornered.
In the royal palace and semi-forced within the Grand Duke’s household,
Upon hearing the news I’d be making a deplorable debut.
Between countless women— I felt a death flag being firmly planted
The only way to avoid this was to escape.
My pooled allowance was quite substantial
I had been diligently training myself, not only idling my time away.
And not just that, but drawing upon my past life’s memories and experiences,
I judged that I would survive outside just fine.
Though it pains me to forsake my silver-spoon status as a grand duke, I decided to depart.
I aimed to act quickly, but my timeline got delayed because of the loyal knight and maid who never left my side.
The biggest reason preventing me from leaving was—
Enough!!
It was my sister, Liris.
Although she never showed irritation in her life and was always considerate, her shouting out and showing rage left me no option but to be taken aback.
Moreover,
Due to her command, I wasn’t able to take a s
It’s not a big deal that I’m locked in this room right now.
Frankly, if it were Lilith, whom I’d tried to commit annually to,
I knew she was refusing to take the debutante’s plunge.
I thought she wouldn’t discourage my decision.
But what on earth is happening?
I can’t still forget the look in her eyes when she was furious.
That gaze…
Hahahaha! Hyun-woo!
Ha… Ha… Master So Gong!
‘Shit… It can’t be, right?’
It seemed similar to the gazes of the women who’ve dumped me.
‘No, it can’t be…’
Right. It can’t be.
Seeing my sister angry for the first time startled me,
So it must have been a misunderstanding.
No matter how harsh the world is, to the sister I’ve shared affection with for a long time.
There’s no chance I’d be murdered.
‘There’s no way… right?’
But why is it?
I kept getting the feeling that instinct was warning me of danger.
Because of that.
I cannot be locked in this room.
He would escape, no matter what trick he has to play.
.
.
.
Was it too drastic a measure?
Lilith clearly saw Ed’s gaze wavering as he looked at her.
Was he hurt?
Or was it because it was his first time getting angry.
Shaken perhaps.
Apologies, but there was no way around it.
In order to protect Ed from the pink-haired girl.
And perhaps, due to Ed’s misguided thoughts.
To prevent him from wandering the world alone with a man’s body.
Of course.
As a sister, she must protect her younger brother.
Will he be killed by his sister this time?
