Chapter 285
Year 7447, Month 2, Day 9
Invited by Anderson the two of us entered a random restaurant. We sat down across from each other at a table in the back of the place and the two of us ordered some tea. Until our drinks came out we killed time be discussing things that happened in Baldukku when she wasn't around.
"And then, what was it about your little sisters?"
After taking a sip of bean tea I asked Anderson. This "little sister" isn't a little sister of the Viscount Anderson family. I'm sure it's the little sister from a different mother with just the same father. Yorire-sama, the daughter of Baron Refaisu flashed through my mind. Come to think of it, they may sort of resemble each other.
"You already know my real father right? Then that's fine. Then you should already know that I have 13 younger brothers and sisters over 8 years younger than me."
8 legitimate children.
Richard of the Prince Ronbarudo territory who's 25 years old and the eldest son of her highness Molail is at the top and at the bottom is the youngest son her highness Marinen gave birth to who should have just turned 8 years old last summer. I knew about it since I heard from Rodrick. If I remember correctly excluding the ones that started to appear in mass a few years back that child should be the youngest.
Other than that, there's 5 illegitimate children that are known.
These ones are just the comparatively older children. Misseru.Beirun who was executed two years back should have been somewhere in the middle. If he was still alive then it'd be 6 of them.
After confirming that I nodded Anderson continued talking.
"Among them there's only one child that I was acquainted with. Ah, the other children shouldn't know about my existence. Eh? I can't say that. But, I'll just tell you this."
After taking a sip of tea to wet her throat Anderson continued in a lower voice.
"Though I just found out about it last year. It seems they've already started moving so there should have been movements on your end as well right Greed-kun? That child never told me the reason either so I don't know everything but of the illegitimate children just the females, three of them were made to enter the knight group several years ago."
Ah, I've heard about that before...
"It seems they're being worked hard by the knight group but what's strange is it even exceeds the hedges of the knight group and they're even being taught by the eldest son. It seems the content is limited to combat training against small groups."
He~ I guess that means his highness Richard is also a bit involved in it.
Ah, the thing the King and them were talking about last summer, so it was this? He confirmed if the training was being done properly...
However, it seems it'd be best to avoid mentioning any names.
"That face says you knew about it. Then I'll stop the talk here already. It doesn't seem it's necessary to say everything after all...A considerable bait may have been thrown before my three little sisters..whether that's the case or not as expected I don't know but whatever the case it seems they're being trained pretty hard."
That does seem to be the case. Though the only one who directly showed their face to me was the middle one Yorire-ojosama. Of Anderson's little sisters that are illegitimate children, from the oldest there's Noirura.Jibekuto, 22 years old. The middle child Yorire.Refaisu, 19 years old. And the youngest daughter Mimairu.Fokein, 16 years old. They're each 3 years apart in age. Even when it comes to the oldest one Noirura, she's only 4, no, 3 years different from me in another few days so you could say there's no problem in terms of age difference.
However, they're being pushed pretty hard, huh?
After all...
Last summer, after talking with Yorire-ojosama I tried investigating it a bit but I couldn't find out that much. I could only investigate the things on the surface. Though I was able to guess it to some extent, the only basis I had was the short conversation from that time. Well, I guess I'll try asking a bit huh?
