Why Are You Becoming a Villain Again?

Again, the villain.

“Asena.”

I came into her room today to wake Asena.

Kirsey was also there.

As much as we slept in the same bed, we woke up the same.

Asena immediately responded to my voice and smiled.

The fortress was a smile that could only be seen in the morning.

With her eyes closed, she spread her arms out.

As usual, the moment I tried to hold her in my arms,

“sister!! Stop procrastinating and get up!”

The excited Kirsi ran and shouted. Asena was startled, her eyes widened, and her arm was retrieved.

“…Kirsi?”

“Today is the day you go to the academy!”

“…why are you here…?”

Suddenly, Asena sat on the back of the bed and asked with a slightly stiff face. Pull the blanket up to your neck and take a defensive posture.

I once opened my arms to Asena.

“Come on, Asena. Come here at once.”

“…ah..”

Asena looked at Kirsi and me alternately, and said with a firm expression on her face.

“…no. Today is fine.”

“…okay? Then don’t.”

She sighs in an audible voice.

“…but Kirsi. I woke up early today.”

Asena asked her brother.

“yes! I had trouble sleeping because of my heart palpitations, and today I woke up together because I slept with my brother.”

At Kirsi’s answer, Asena frowned.

“…you slept with your brother?”

“yes!”

“…I just told you to go back to your room yesterday.”

Asena stumbles out of bed. Then he picked up the kettle on the table and started pouring tea into his own teacup.

“…yesterday?”

Strangely, I ask because the conversation doesn’t seem to be intertwined. Kirsey replied.

“Ah, I ran into you in front of my brother’s room yesterday.”

“Did you?”

When I asked Asena to confirm, her hand stopped pouring tea.

Then he stuttered a little and spoke as if making an excuse.

“…that…ah…yes.”

“How did you two meet in front of my room?”

“…I have something to tell you.”

Asena did not even look at me and muttered in a crawling sound. I couldn’t even hear what you were saying.

I wanted to ask again, but it didn’t seem like a particularly important story, so I skipped it.

“Ah, for once. When everyone is calm, let’s go eat first. busy today We have to eat and go right away.”

The preparations were finished yesterday, but the action had to move quickly.

It takes approximately two days to get from this Fryster estate to the academy.

We made a plan to arrive with a day or so before the entrance ceremony, but it may not be enough.

Initially, the plan was to only eat breakfast and leave.

So the twins nodded at my words, and we headed to the dining room.

****

After dinner, the castle becomes noisy.

After I said my final goodbyes to the various users, I stood in an empty lot lined with wagons and escorts to pick us up.

The twins haven’t come out yet, saying they have something to prepare.

I smiled and greeted Thein, who was the butler, and Lawrence, who taught me the sword.

“Thank you everyone. I’ll be fine.”

“Come back safely, Master.”

“Master, don’t neglect training just because you are talented!”

They shared stories of memories and waited patiently for the twins to appear.

For a moment, Tane and Lawrence’s faces hardened, and they folded their backs to greet them.

Looking back, I saw Liana Grandma approaching with a kind smile.

“….grandmother.”

“Kayden.”

After saluting Tane and Lawrence, they leave their seats.

Grandma came over and gave me a light hug.

“Are you ready?”

“yes. it’s over.”

“…okay. Don’t forget the notes.”

“Do not worry.”

She looked at me with affectionate eyes, and lightly stroked my cheek.

“…it will be difficult.”

“…..”

“You have to be stronger to withstand the territoriality of the aristocrats… I hope that the names of my husband, son, and Asena’s Pryster family will be your shield.”

Grandma was worried, but I didn’t think anyone would easily ignore the ‘Pryster’ at the end of my name, no matter how much I called an adopted child.

Of course, the truth is, you will have to go to find out, but for the first time, alleviating grandmother’s worries was the first priority.

“Do not worry. Even if someone ignores me, I won’t be shaken.”

“Huhu.”

When I spoke proudly with my arms wide open, Grandma laughed.

“Oh, Kayden. I am so proud that you are my grandson.”

She smiled, gradually hardening her face. Then he looked around for a moment.

Of course, no one was afraid to overhear our story.

Realizing that no one is watching us, Grandma Liana leans over to me.

“…Kayden. Actually, I have one more request.”

She speaks in a subdued tone. I also hardened my expression and tilted my upper body.

“…Yes, tell me.”

“It is not a burden. But if you succeed in this, I think it will be of great help to our Frysters.”

“…I am listening.”

“…do you know the fastest way to increase the power of your family?”

Several methods run through my head. How to spread fear by stepping on others, how to occupy a high office, how to take everything through war, etc…

Numerous ways run through my head. These are the methods Asena and Kirsi took in the novel.

But without waiting for my answer, Grandma said.

“Marriage, Kayden. More peaceful and faster than any other method.”

“…I think so.”

“I’ve tried a lot to find your mate. But no matter how much you talk about your charm, it’s hard to create an engagement relationship that will strengthen our family.”

“…I understand.”

My origin must have been the problem. Unless it was a really weak noble family, it might have been rude to bring out my name.

“But why don’t you go to the academy this time? You will be able to meet the young girls of many families. There will be beautiful children, and there will be good children and wise children. It is also an opportunity to see and judge with your own eyes.”

“…..”

“…Kaden, try to seduce the daughter of the great nobleman you like.”

“Oh, my grandma too.”

I was holding my breath and listening because I thought it was an important story, but my pulse was gone and I smiled and stood up.

But Grandma Liana was not smiling.

Seeing her expression, I smiled again and asked.

“…are you serious?”

“It’s true, Kayden. It’s a good story for you too. Like I said, it’s not a burden. It’s okay if you don’t have a favorite child. But… if you have a child you like and that is from a strong family, you might want to take a chance. It will be a great help to our family as well.”

I digested her words slowly.

So, the choice is entirely mine, but if you can create an engagement relationship that will strengthen our family, it was a call to be greedy.

“…you are a charming kid, Kayden. If you put your mind to it, you will have a chance. Also, don’t noble girls die from knights?”

She grinned and for a moment relaxed the heavy atmosphere. I also exhaled and waved my hands.

“… uh huh. Who are you flirting with?”

“Why do you think it won’t?”

“…what are you talking about?”

In an instant, Asena’s voice came from behind us. As I turned around, Asena wearing a long-brimmed hat was walking towards me.

“Well? Is Asena here?”

“…..”

She doesn’t respond to me and takes turns looking at my grandmother and me.

“Kirsi?”

“…in. So what were you talking about?”

I glanced at my grandmother. She shrugged her eyebrows as if she enjoyed the brief secret story.

The last time I smiled at her expression, I turned around to Asena.

“I was just talking nonsense. Do not worry about it.”

“…..”

“brother!!”

From afar, Kirsi called me and ran.

She stopped in front of me and turned around, showing off her clothes.

“What do you think? Pretty?”

“cute.”

I pinched her cheek as she smiled.

“Hehehe..”

Kirsey smiled contentedly. I looked around slowly.

“…well…are you ready now?”

Everyone’s attention was focused on this place.

After accepting Kirsi to be hugged in his arms with a smile, he grabbed Asena’s shoulder.

“Asena.”

She nodded lightly and opened her mouth carefully.

He said his final goodbyes for everyone to hear.

It was a good speech. They ask me to take care of this place while they are away, and to take good care of my grandmother. You will learn a lot, so please wait.

After I finish my speech in an orderly manner with a dignity that I cannot imitate, I give the order to depart.

The guards began to depart from the front.

In the meantime, the three of us said our last goodbyes to Grandma.

“Grandma, I will go.”

“I will go.”

“okay. Have a good trip.”

The relationship between grandma and twins is still a bit stiff.

But no one can say that it’s not an affectionate relationship.

After a short greeting, the twins got into the carriage first.

I looked back at my grandmother.

“Grandma, I went too…”

I stopped talking.

Grandma’s eyes were watching me intently. She grabbed my hand with one hand and covered it with the other and patted it.

I didn’t feel like I had to say anything. Her whole heart was transmitted through her hands.

I smiled lightly and nodded towards her.

Grandma nodded her head and then let go of my hand.

Then, without saying a word, he got into the carriage.

****

After a moment of gloomy with the parting, our carriage heading to the academy becomes noisy.

It was mainly because of Kirsi.

“Ah… so excited…”

At Kirsi’s bright voice, I move the conversation I had with my grandmother behind my head.

Riding on the contagious feelings of Kirsi, he asked with a smile.

“What are you looking forward to?”

“Meeting new friends.. How fun would it be?”

“Did you expect that much?”

“Of course!”

I said, messing up Kirsi’s head.

“You can make friends with anyone.”

It wasn’t empty words.

It would have been difficult if it was that Kirsi in the novel, but now Kirsi is a really easy-to-make child with.

He doesn’t get angry easily and knows how to look at other people’s eyes. He says a lot of nice and caring words. The beauty is also beautiful.

It couldn’t have been difficult for such a child to make friends.

In addition, none of the characters in the novel in the first place, that is, the characters who take the same class as the twins, had angular personalities.

Actually, only Asena and Kirsi were the problem.

But since I’ve rectified them… there’s nothing wrong with that.

Seriously, the characters in the novel look at me

have to bow

Because I rehabilitated Asena and Kirsi, as if I had removed the unreasonable ruins that lay in their future. Am I the hidden hero?

“…Hmmmm…”

Asena drew our attention as she loosened her neck.

Me and Kirsi stopped laughing and looked at Gaju. As soon as I got my attention for a moment, Asena looked at me once and avoided her gaze.

Even though he called us, he seemed a bit embarrassed.

I was puzzled.

It was not uncommon for her to be seen as unprofessional.

“…do you have something to say?”

When I asked Asena, she looked at me with more difficulty.

“…when we get to the academy… let’s be careful of the ice dukes.”

House Ice is the complete opposite of House Freister.

Unlike the Frysters located in the southern plains, the Ice family located in the northern mountains.

In the novel, it was a family of pioneers, but now, as a member of the Fryster family, it was the opposite.

So it wasn’t that they were annoying. It was a family that made many rational and just choices.

It just doesn’t fit the historian the Freisters.

There was no problem in our generation, but it is said that wars occurred frequently up to the generation of Liana.

“…”

But I caught Asena’s tone of voice. The Ice family had already been talking hundreds of times. Once again, there were no words to get out of this wagon.

That Asena had more to say, she could tell just by looking at her expression.

“…what is it, Asena? Tell me.”

Come to think of it, Asena said that she came to me the night before because she wanted to say something.

Something still remained.

what a difficult word

I also wanted to take a nap.

Asena blinked at my question, lost focus as if contemplating for a long time, looked into the distance, and finally took a deep breath as if she had made a decision.

Then he meets me head-on. She speaks in an unwavering tone, as if she had been preparing for a long time.

“Brother, one order.”

Command.

those heavy words.

In an instant it becomes ominous

“……What.”

“…When you graduate, return the surname ‘Pryster’.”
