I Became the Younger Brother of the Female Protagonist in the Novel

Ryard chewed over Arden’s name several times and nodded once.

“Soon I will have to call you Viscount Ardennes.”

“It doesn’t matter if you feel free to call me.”

“Well, yes. I was thinking of calling it easy anyway. More than that, since you’ve become my aide, will you faithfully carry out my orders from now on?”

To his question, Kaynez shrugged and answered.

“Well, I will follow as far as possible.”

“Hey, are you thinking of rebelling already? Do I have to learn properly from top to bottom?”

Lyard gave a devilish grin.

Then, Keynes smiled.

“In the duty of a servant, there is also a content that rebukes the master for his mistakes and gives advice. I once read a history book that warned that if you unconditionally followed the master’s orders, you could end up on the road to ruin someday.”

Ryard paused for a moment.

“… … Are you talking about ‘The Life of Lucas’? Certainly, it would be better to have subordinates who sometimes present their opinions and give sharp advice rather than unconditionally obeying orders. but… … There are already a lot of nagging guys around me.”

Ryard clicked his tongue lightly as he remembered his close friends.

“Tsk, I’m going to be louder in the future. Anyway, I will go back to the imperial castle and write a letter of recommendation, see you later.”

“Yes, see you next time.”

Ryard patted Kayneth on the shoulder once, greeted Sophia and Iris, and left immediately.

And when Ryard disappeared from sight, Sophia spoke up as if she had remembered something.

“Are you planning to stay at the Spay One Inn today?”

“Well, I can’t help it. It’s my first time using the system, and it would be better and more comfortable to use the inn run by the Spayone family than to use other accommodations. Besides, they said that accommodations are free of charge… … .”

At his answer, Sophia smiled bitterly and touched her chin.

Then I looked at Iris once.

“huh? what’s the matter?”

Iris tilted her head.

“Senior, having a younger brother in our dormitory… … Will it be difficult?”

“Of course not!”

Iris was taken aback by Sophia’s question and shouted in a frightened manner.

Are you really calling it a question? No matter how good they are, brother and sister will sleep together in the same bed? at that age?

“Hmm… … .”

Seeing Sofia’s sincere concern, Iris broke into a cold sweat.

‘This brother and sister… … It’s a bit strange.’

That was Iris’ evaluation of the siblings, Keynes and Sophia.

Meanwhile, Kayneth started waving her hands at Sofia’s thoughtful appearance.

“Do not worry too much. The area around Spayone Inn is safe, and the shopping street is located right next to it, so it is easy to use the surrounding facilities.”

Kayneth’s remarks seemed to reassure Sophia.

But Sophia still couldn’t erase her worried expression.

Soon, as if he had come up with a solution, he spoke cautiously.

“… … Just in case, I’ll have to stay at the Spayone Inn for the time being. Of course, if you’re uncomfortable… … .”

When Sophia slurred, Kaynez quickly shook his head.

“No. No. Wouldn’t it rather be a nuisance to my sister… … .”

“I’m fine. And my sister will take you on a tour of the islands.”

She replied with a smile.

And at the content of the conversation between the two siblings, Iris frowned.

‘this… … Is it really a conversation between brother and sister? No, has my house been strange?’

Iris thought of her younger brother’s face, who played pranks on her every day and used it in a crowd. How much I was scolded by my parents while fighting often… … .

When I heard from a friend, ‘Isn’t it nice that my younger brother is cute?’, I thought it was really creepy.

‘That guy is cute… … ?’

Iris freaked out when she thought of her younger brother who went wild like a naughty boy.

Playing with her skirt, dropping her favorite teddy bear in the lake, and so on.

If it had been a younger brother who was calm and considerate like Kaynes, he would have lived hugging him every day, praising him as ‘cute’.

but… … .

‘… … I’d rather trade it with Keynes.’

It was Iris who let out a deep sigh.

She intervened in the conversation between the two siblings in front of her eyes.

“Do you want to eat out for dinner tonight? Then, is it okay if I join you?”

“Yes, it doesn’t matter, but the escort… … .”

“I just told you to come out to the front gate of the academy through the communication port, so if you go out now, it will be waiting for you.”

At Iris’ answer, Sophia nodded once.

Iris has been enjoying eating out for the first time in a long time.

She looked at the Spey One siblings sitting next to each other in the restaurant, as if envying them. No, to be precise, he was expressing his envy towards his older sister, Sophia.

‘If only I had a younger brother like Kaynes… … .’

Iris called ‘sister!’ and imagined Kayneth running towards her.

I had a hearty smile.

Soon the food was on the table, and she began to have an intimate dinner with her two siblings.

* * *

When they were young, they were called the shame of the Spay Ones because they did not receive the blessing of Mana.

Sophia H Speyone and Kayneth H Speyone.

As word spread throughout the system that the two were actually geniuses, many people were astonished.

The title of Spey One’s incompetent child was always a joke. But overnight, the meaning of the title was reversed.

and… … A wizard’s tower built in the islands.

People called it the Mage Tower, but murmurs full of astonishment echoed from the top floor of the Mage Tower towering over the capital.

“No, that’s nonsense.”

The white-haired old man began rubbing his eyes with his sleeves as if in shock.

Master of the Magic Tower, Hervis T Mardenia.

He visited the Spayone family several times and personally confirmed the talents of the children of Grans, the head of the household.

In the meantime, he has been receiving huge donations and support from the Spey One family, so moving his body a little is probably light.

but… … .

“Are Sophia and Kayneth both blessed with mana? Even Kaynes, who is only 13 years old, is a 4th circle wizard… … .”

He shuddered at the sudden report.

The third prince, Ryard, after bestowing a hereditary title on Keynes, announced that he would bestow some of his territory, making the imperial castle noisy.

What would you believe in giving a title to a 13-year-old boy?

However, things started to turn strangely when Kayneth showed off the 4th Circle magic at the academy.

“… … If the Crown Prince supported His Highness Lyard’s will, it would be difficult for a child named Kaynes to enter the Mage Tower.”

The crown prince supported Lyard’s nobility recommendation.

Is it because of that? The nobles of the imperial faction had to pay attention little by little, and soon the owner of the mage tower also decided to surrender to the flow.

As soon as the Empire started to get noisy for a while, the Spay One family suddenly came in.

Sunday morning, March 1st.

Spey One’s family head, Grans, suddenly visited the imperial castle.

Hearing the news that he had visited the imperial castle, Hervis had to suffer while holding onto the back of his neck.

“Okay… … . If I do something wrong, I will be held accountable. Two cases of mana nuclei being generated postnatally have been found in one family… … .”

Episode 32

32. Truth (1)

After visiting the Imperial Castle, Grans visited the Spay One Inn where Kayneth was staying.

The imperial family has already made the decision to confer an independent family name on Keynes.

“That’s not a big problem, but… … .”

Grans frowned at the fact that she had been fooled by Keynes.

Of course, you should praise him for tricking his eyes.

However, Kayneth’s case made me have strong doubts about my abilities.

“… … Clearly, Kayneth did not feel the energy of mana. If there is no possibility of mana manifesting and becoming the 4th circle in one year, in the meantime… … Did you mean to hide the mana by some means?”

A private VIP room on the first floor of the inn. A small room of 5 pyeong with a luxurious feel was simply furnished with a sofa and table.

Then, sitting on the sofa and holding a cup of tea, Grans stared intently at the brother and sister entering the room.

Two siblings who inherited their own blood.

The third daughter, Sofia, who uses the sword skills of an intermediate expert with excellent swordsmanship. And the third son, Kaynes, who has made the world a buzz now.

They were once the incompetent children of the Spey-Won family, who made a big noise in the world.

“I see the head of the household.”

“I see the head of the household.”

The two bowed their heads toward Grans as soon as they entered the room.

“… … sit down.”

The two siblings sat on the sofa across from Grans’ words.

Moments later, a young male clerk came into the room and prepared tea cups and refreshments. The moment he left the room, Grans glared at Keynes with a fierce look.

In contrast, Kayneth just maintained a calm expression, and did not budge an eyebrow despite Grans’ fierce gaze.

From noble mtl dot com

“You’ve been hiding it well all this time.”

“I thought it was unnecessary to tell you.”

“Need… … does not exist?”

Grans twisted her brow.

Keynes met his eyes with a calm expression.

“I came across various stories while living in the second annex. The head of the household would be grateful if you treat me as a ghost as before. And I will abandon the name of Spey One for the sake of my family and live with a new family name.”

Grans’ face wrinkled at Keynes’ remark.

“Ha, did you think that you could break away from the Spey One family just for that reason?”

“From the moment I was born, I was an impurity of the Spey One family. I don’t think you’ll stop that impurity from disappearing on its own.”

Keynes replied with a grave expression.

At that, Grans raised her voice.

“Sounds funny! I decide your worth and future. Of course, the engagement to the Rose family should be canceled as well. And I’m going to pick a new fiancée… … .”

Hearing Grans’ story, Kayneth let out a small sigh in his heart as he closed his eyes. Because his remarks had already been predicted in advance.

‘Well, whether it decides my future or not, as long as it doesn’t block my independence… … . I’ll have to match the rhythm appropriately.’

The breakup with Elizabeth was a bit disappointing.

However, Keynes had no choice but to nod his head a few times at Grans’ warning, which was not a warning.

The Ardennes family became the vassals of the 3rd prince and the Speywon family at the same time.

If it can’t be helped, then it must be unavoidable.

Meanwhile, Sofia was quietly listening to the conversation between Kayneth and Grans. She twitched her eyebrows as she wrinkled her brow.

‘Are you saying you’re going to treat me like a son now? no Maybe they’re trying to move the third prince by leaving the Ardennes family under the Spey One family… … . Anyway, dirty things are still there. father.’

Sofia tried to read Grans’ thoughts, but her teeth trembled at his ugliness.

Keynes won the heart of the third prince, Lyard, with his own strength and effort. However, to think that it should ultimately benefit the Spey One family.

Sophia glanced at her sister’s face. I mean Kenneth, who acts expressionless as if he doesn’t feel any emotion.

Sophia had to let out a small sigh at the sight of her younger brother maintaining a poker face for dozens of minutes.

‘I heard that you exchanged letters with Lady Elizabeth every time… … . He must be angry inside because he cut off that relationship in an instant.’

Nevertheless, it was truly amazing to see Kaynes enduring his anger and controlling his emotions.

It’s hard to believe that he’s a 13-year-old boy.

“While attending the academy, I will send someone else to manage the Ardennes family.”

At Grans’ remark, Kayneth shook his head.

“This part has already been decided through a conversation with His Highness the Prince. Your Highness doesn’t seem to want someone from House Spaywon to control House Arden.”

“I heard that His Highness Lyard turned 15 this year… … . You were paying attention to that part.”

“Until I graduate, the Ardennes family will not be able to escape from His Majesty’s control.”

It’s a situation that’s no different from being a loner.

Grans clicked her tongue and closed her eyes.

“Whoa… … . I can’t help it. You should stay by His Highness’ side and keep track of the imperial family’s information.”

“All right.”

Kenneth bowed his head.

Grans was very wary of her son, Kayneth, even while giving instructions. No, following Keynes, Sophia and Phyllis were also included in the subject of suspicion.

As the two siblings were hiding their abilities from themselves, they thought that their mother, Phyllis, might also be hiding something.

‘I became a 4th circle wizard in just 4-5 years with an acquired mana core? So far no such instance has been found on this continent. I don’t know if I’m a hero who only appears in legends, but I won’t be able to become the 4th circle in that short time.’

A legend is called a legend because it is a fictional story that cannot exist. I guess it’s different from reality.

Grans couldn’t figure out what Kayneth was hiding. That made him even more uncomfortable.

And I asked various questions to find out the inside, but… … . Keynes just repeats vague answers. There was no information Gran could get.

‘I can only see that someone is behind Keynes. I’d rather keep him alive until I know who’s behind it.’

Keynes’ growth was so intimidating. A power too great for a 13-year-old boy to possess.

Grans put Kayneth under guard and immediately left the island and returned to Karvan.

and… … .

fluff.

“Ha, I thought you were urinating because you were scared.”

Unnerved, Kayneth lay down on the bed and closed her eyes.
