I Became the Villain of a Romance Fantasy

19 – A younger brother needs a sister.(7)

The lord’s castle of the Count Krause family was exceptionally lively today.

The breath of spring invigorates people, but that alone won’t make a castle buzz.

The reason why the castle was so busy right now was because the owner of the castle went out after a long time. It was also news that he was going out with his two sons, not just going out.

In the eyes of others, you may wonder why family outings are such a big deal, but the servants of the lord’s castle have worked here for the past few years, and Count Krause has never sent his youngest son outside after the death of the hostess. know the facts

Their son, Damian, was overly confident since childhood despite being 16 years old, but Alphonse, who is now 7 years old, has a cute appearance and, unlike Damian, is receiving a lot of cuteness from the castle workers because of the appearance of a young boy of the same age. was in the middle

Even so, the fact that he lost his mother at an early age made Alphonse a target of sympathy, and it was natural for him to feel sorry for Alphonse, who had never left the lord’s castle.

But that is now a thing of the past.

I don’t know what kind of change of heart Count Krauss had, but one important thing was the fact that the outing they were going to be going on now would be the monumental first outside tour of the youngest son they loved.

Perhaps because of that, everyone has a lot of strength in their shoulders.

“Why do you keep looking at the wheel! Can’t you see I’m busy elsewhere?”

“Hey, but no matter how anxious you are. What if this breaks while going?”

“That’s why I changed all the wheels.”

“I wish the one in the warehouse had already died? Come to think of it, isn’t this the first time the youngest boy has been riding in a carriage? What if he gets motion sickness while riding?”

“…just go downstairs and buy new wheels. I’ll be fixing the carriage seat.”

I was constantly inspecting the wagon, which should have been enough once or twice, and I took off the existing wagon seats and laid them out completely, hoping that someone would get motion sickness while riding.

As soon as the chef heard the news the day before, he got up early in the morning and started preparing food that Alphonse would like, and the knights hired to escort the outing were more alert than ever.

The outing of the Krause family that everyone is looking forward to.

At the center of it all was Damian.

***

After talking to Elena that day, I tried to spend time with Alphonse for several days.

It wasn’t that hard to make time for it.

It was just a matter of slightly reducing the time I had been devoting to studying and training. To be honest, the amount of time I was spending on those two wasn’t too bad for me either.

So far, the anxiety about what will happen in the future has not made me so relaxed.

It is said that there is a certain story in this world, but as I was assigned a villain named Damian rather than the main character, I wanted to get out of that role, and the anxiety about the stories I didn’t know outside of ‘The Story of Elena Edelweiss’ kept driving me into a corner. there was.

So even though I know that I am excessive, I am not satisfied. Until I met Elena, my life was like a hamster constantly spinning on a treadmill.

I couldn’t move forward, but I still held on to them and didn’t let go.

But is it because of the relationship with Elena, which is different from the original? A short day spent with her changed a lot of things for me.

Strangely, whenever she smiles at me, I no longer feel anxious about the future.

Is it because she knows that she is the main character of this world?

I immediately erased the sudden thought from my mind.

In fact, the reason is not so important. The important thing is that her presence by my side allowed me to shake off the insecurities that were tying me down, and that it increased the amount of time I was with my brother now.

“Sister. The color of this hyacinth. It’s just like the color of your eyes, so I think it goes well with you.”

“Oh, thank you for the compliment, Alphonse.”

Of course, the time created like that wasn’t just me and Alphonse’s time.

Currently, Elena is a guest in our lord’s castle.

She also came with the status of being the fiancé of the next family head, Krause. Although it was not yet a formal engagement between the rings, she was treated as the next Krause’s mistress at the castle.

Of course, being engaged, I spent a lot of time with her, which also affected my time with Alphonse.

After the last meal, the relationship between the two seems to have become much closer, and Alphonse started following Elena, calling her ‘sister’. As a result, when I went to Alphonse after work, there were often cases where the two of us talked first.

Seeing the two of them laughing and talking together made me smile on my own, but in a corner of my heart, I felt as if my younger brother had been taken away.

Of course, I feel that the distance with Alphonse is getting closer than before, but I still feel sad about it.

can’t help it Let’s think of it as karma for not paying attention to my brother.

We are now in the flower garden of Isilia Pavilion where Elena and I walked last time. There are several flower gardens in the count’s lord’s castle, but the only place where hyacinths are planted is Isilia Pavilion.

More than anything, Alphonse liked hearing about his mother from me at Isilia House. When I tell Alphonse the things written in my mother’s diary one by one, I too am immersed in the memory of that time.

Unlike before, I was not buried in memories.

It was just to share those beautiful days with my younger brother who was not there.

As we talked like that, I started to talk about myself, Damian, who was no longer a memory with my mother, and I also heard the story of Alphonse, which I hadn’t cared about.

“I didn’t really care about my mother. The only family I remember is my older brother and my father.”

“Then, in Isilia Hall…”

“It wasn’t my father’s will that I went to Isilia Hall without telling anyone. I was just always curious about who my older brother and father were seeing through me.”

And what I learned through this conversation is that my brother is much more mature than I thought. To be honest, I doubt that this is an idea that could come out of a seven-year-old’s head. In fact, maybe Alphonse is also a possessor like me. It was an answer that made me think.

“But after seeing the diary my mother wrote and hearing the story from my brother like this, I also… I wonder what my mother would say if she saw me. I want to be there with you.”

Perhaps Alphonse learned more about his mother than before through his conversation with me. But still, Alphonse told me it was okay.

“But I’m fine. I have an older brother who thinks of me like this, the strongest father in the world, and a pretty and kind sister. So please don’t feel sorry for me too much. I’m a happy child.”

No one can take the place of the vacant mother.

However, memories to fill that void can be built up in the future. But what I’m worried about is that I don’t know what effect my existence, originally a villain, will have on my family in the future.

The Krause family in the original work was good except for Damian, but I don’t know if they were happy. They were just supporting characters in a passing novel.

But now I am Damian, and I am the next head of the Krauss and their family.

I want my family to be happy

As I recalled it, the anxiety about the future that I thought had disappeared began to pop up again.

I immediately opened my closed eyes and looked for Elena.

The scent of hyacinth tickles the tip of the nose.

Seeing Alphonse and her smiling face makes me feel at ease, as if it had never happened before. It’s funny how I ended up like this, thinking about breaking up with her just a few days ago. Why am I trying to get closer to her now, even though I know that we will be far apart someday?

I’m not sure either.

I don’t know if I’m trying to rely on her because she’s the main character of this world, or if I’m drawn to the Elena Edelweiss she showed me while spending time with me.

Maybe both of them are right.

As I approached, Elena turned her head and made a different face from when she was talking to Alphonse.

I smiled and said the same to her.

“Elena. Do you remember the last time we asked you to go on a picnic?”

Whatever the cause of these uncertain feelings, there was no doubt that I wanted to be with her a little longer now.
