The Hero Proposed to Me

The hero proposed to me

8

~~~~~~

What a wonderful thing to say.

Thank you, brother. Fortunately, Theo listened to me without distorting me. If Siel hadnt acted recklessly, Theo would have been the next Duke of Valentine.

As long as you know the terrible future, you cant let it go. My shoulder, which has to save everyone, got heavier and heavier.

After sending my brother like that, I finally arrived at the glass garden.

The ornamental flowers outside were managed by gardeners, but the herbs in the glass greenhouse were managed by Clara.

The Duke of Valentine, who respected his daughters hobby, collected all kinds of rare herbs, and it is not unreasonable to say that astronomical amounts of precious herbs are filled in this greenhouse, probably in terms of money alone.

Of course I dont recognize it at all. I sighed for no reason, looking at the grass that looked the same no matter how hard I looked at it.

Siel!

Uh, sister!'

She should be busy preparing for her debut, but Clara came to water the plants despite her busy schedule.

Still, its a good thing that her debut has been set. Im ten years old now, and I cant let Clara be my babysitter until then.

Personally, I was more proud than sad to see Clara find something she was good at.

Whats this?

Its Loenthal, the flowers are poisonous, but the roots are its antidote.

At first glance, I dont think I can even remember it because it was just like that, but Clara taught me about the use of various other grasses.

If you are suffering from food poisoning, you can eat this paste by sweetening it, and if you break the paste and attach it to the wound when you are injured, the wound will heal quickly and the pain will be less.

Even if I hear the explanation, they all look the same as grass. I dont know if I even want to listen anymore. Even after my sister left, I sighed at the flowers.

My sister is so intelligent. I dont know whats what and the difference at all.

Me neither, Merryll shrugged when I said I didnt know. On this occasion, I sneaked into Merrylls mind, wondering what the employees would think.

Merryll, you dont like me doing this?

No way. I like everything you like. Considering what Merryll did to Clara in the original book, I really cant imagine her current attitude.

The reason why I didnt hesitate to do anything really bad was actually simple. Mrs. Lisbon.

Like her, Merryll was a loyal employee who worked for a long time in this Valentines family.

Even if Merryll was the villain who bullied Clara, she was just technically following my orders, so its up to me now.

I didnt know it was so hard to live as a source of all evil. But well find a way out and at the same time, make sure the story doesnt change too much.

If necessary, she or I will also play the villain. I cant be treated as nicely as fate tells me.

Claras debut day has finally come. It was a great opportunity to see if the incident happened as it was even if the time it happens changes.

As expected, when Claras debut date was set, father suddenly decided to go on a business trip.

Somehow, he said he would come back before the party, but he was stranded due to heavy rain in the area.

It was as I expected. Although there is a difference in time and process, the contents in the original work happen somehow.

So lets change the future a little bit more enthusiastically. You shouldnt be relieved that youre on good terms with Clara.

Fortunately, we have two reliable young masters in our house. Except for me and Louis, the other two brothers set out to prepare for Claras escort.

Well, how is it?

The results of the empires greatest beauty were enormous.

Youre really cool, Mom.

A Ladys debut requires wearing a pure white dress. However, how to interpret the pure white thing depends entirely on the familys wealth.

It doesnt matter even she is adopted or not, Clara is a Valentines daughter and thanks to my persuasion skill to mother who is next to her, Claras debut has been set up with a huge budget.

The fabric is made of imported high-quality silk and a flower crown of fifty gold.

Even that was not enough. The earrings and necklaces were decorated with platinum strings and petite diamonds of the right size.

Every step she took, the fluttering jewels shone like stars.

Are you ready?

Yes, Mother.

Theo, dressed in a dignified manner, will play the role of the escort on behalf of our absent father, and mother will also carry Clara around and greet the social world.

But two children, Louis and I, are still young and we should stay home but of course, I wont allow that.

Zach! I called out to Isaac.

Yes, Siel.

You didnt forget what I asked you to do, did you?

I also asked Isaac for cooperation for Claras splendid debut. Like as if my head is on the line, Isaac sneaked the bait while watching my moms attention as I had told him in advance.

Mother, Ill be leaving in a little while.

You said you had something to check with the Knights, didnt you? Dont be too late.

In fact, even if Isaac was there or not, it was enough, so my mother started first with Theo and Clara.

Then Brother Isaac ran to me when he noticed other people.

Do you really want to go to the palace at all costs?

Yes. Im so sad that I cant see Claras debut dance.

Its no big deal if you act cute like a younger sister or an older sister.

If our Ciel starves. Ah brothers heart will start to hurt! Merryll, are you ready?

But youll get in trouble if you find out, are you sure?

What can I do? My princess wants me to.

Isaac is the best!

This is how my plan was completed. On condition of doing me a favor, Isaac chose todays dress himself.

Is this enough?

Yes, thats enough.

I wore a light pink dress with abundant lace and a bonnet. I stood there with pretty blonde hair like my mom.

Isaac was so moved that he even shed tears.

Cute. Shes my sister, but shes so cute.

Do you like it?

Yes! Are you sure youre my sister? Siel so pretty. My Siel, my princess!

Brother Isaac, the younger brother, cheered enthusiastically, and Louis rolled his eyes sarcastically, looking at us as if we were absurd.

Do you want to go that far?

Of course, I want to see Claras debut dance, but I can go out with her alone. So Im not taking you with me.

Tease-ya

Louis pretended not to be interested, but seemed to secretly want to go, but he never intended to take him until he was honest.

Just the two of us, and when the word date came out of my mouth, Isaac almost cried and grabbed my hand and headed to the carriage.

Are you sure you dont want to take me with you?

You didnt want to go? Isnt that right, Zach?

I know. Siel wants to go on a date with his brother alone.

Indeed, Isaac has an unusual personality that only listens to what he wants to hear.

Since hes that kind of personality, he probably didnt acknowledge the evil he did and caused a rebellion.

I got in the carriage in my brothers arms because hes more trustworthy than anyone else to me.

Im coming, Im coming!

But do you know how to keep secrets from your mother?

Okay, you can keep it.

Even if you two want to go on a date, if Louis made a mistake, well both get in trouble. So Isaac headed to the palace with the his two little siblings.

Come to think of it, its been a long time since Ive seen Alex, the future crown prince.

The Prince is coming today, isnt he?

Alex? Maybe he will. I heard hes recently abroad as an envoy, but now I think the hes just around the corner.

Really?

Yeah, thats exactly what I was curious about. Alex was able to beat Theo and ascend to the position of the male lead* because of the power difference. Of course, the Crown Prince is better than a ordinary Prince or a Duke.

(T/N : Thank you dizzyness for clarifying the pearl thingy!)

As a result, a man should have power. So, in order to be the male lead, no matter what kind of adversity, you must win the position of the crown prince.

Isnt that Lord Isaac?

Im late because I have some work to do at home.

The gatekeepers opened the door immediately after checking the face of Isaac Valentine without checking the inside. So the Carriage we rode safely passed through the imperial palace door.

Its cool, but full of dark and intriguing conspiracy, its a terrifying hall of slaughter where blood and flesh splatter..

The situation inside the imperial family is quite complicated. The emperor declared that he would not let the Empress in after Alex was born by an unidentified woman.

It was none other than the emperors younger sister, Empress Rote, who took power in place of the Empress.

It seems to be the Empress Rote, the Emperor forcibly sent her into a marriage and then returned to the imperial family with her son when her husband died.

Shortly after the Emperor declared that he would not let the Empress in, the aristocracy was overturned to whom the were throne will be passed on in the future.

The supporters of the Emperors sister, Empress Rote, and the supporters of Alex, who was recognized as the Emperors son. The Empire was divided into two.

The emperors sister, the Empress, had a son, Stan, who was formally born to her late husband, Duke of Winterbaum.

The formal status of Emperor Rote, the first princess of the late emperor, was Royal Princess Charlotte. Her power in the Empire was strong, as much as she could enjoy it to death.

Stan, the son of such a Princess, inherited the position of Grand Duke Winterbaum, the deceased mercenary king, and enjoyed the same treatment that was much like keen of a Prince.

Therefore, there has been a steady stream of public opinion that Stan is more orthodox than Alex, who was born from an unidentified woman.

Because Princess Rottes eyes were open, the servants could not recommend marriage to the Emperor at will. Even now, the Princess is conspiring to establish her son Stan as Emperor.

Now that were in a place like this, Clara has to roll a lot. As expected, not everyone is the main character.

Im glad Im not the main character.

Huh? What did you say?

No, just talking to yourself. Where are we now?
