You surely act like a royal from a certain point of view, sacrificing yourself for your elder sister. However, you don’t realize the damage your actions will cause. Your sister won’t be happy about being freed from this burden by your sacrifice. On the contrary, she will feel nothing but guilt. It is a result that benefits neither sister, and I will gladly spoil the ceremony to right this, even if I am to be hunted as a result.
Besides, if my prediction is correct, this ceremony will surely…
[Initiate the operation.] (Sirius)
She is the main priority right now. I gave instruction by [Call], and the two siblings placed pieces of cloth marked with a [Aqua Mist] magic formation in each corner of the room. Using [String] I activated the magic formation on each piece of cloth.
[Understood] (Sirius)
I sent a word to Reese, swapped outfits promptly, and started moving. In the midst of turmoil, the siblings had already finished with the installation of the magic formations, and the room glowed with a bright white as mist filled the room.
I order the siblings to destroy the cake. Emilia fired [Air Shot], though she hesitated for a moment, and the cake that I spent hours to make was broken and scattered as if exploded. Such a waste, however it was necessary to prevent people from being suspicious of Galgan Company, were they to discover that the cake was hollow.
At that time, Kura grabbed Reese’s wrist to secure and question her, however combining her stress and fright at this action, she snatched her wrist away. Kura, shocked at her action, stared at her for a moment before saying;.
“Why!? I just want to make Elysion wealthy…” (Kura)
“That’s unsightly. Realize when you’ve been dumped.” (Sirius)
I snuck up behind them before interjecting. Reese had a complicated expression on due to this man.
“A kidnapping? This ceremony is taking place on the order of the King! Do you think that you can ruin it and get away with it?” (Kura)
“Wrong answer. If you are a man, you should worry about your bride first, rather than the King.” (Sirius)
That may have been common sense among nobles, but the bride here is my disciple, you know? If it is for Reese, I would gladly knock you down repeatedly. That you worry about such a trivial thing in this situation, how naive are you?
“I checked on you personally, you are a wonderful puppet of your parents. Tell me, why are you here when you could have someone, anyone, else?” (Sirius)
“S-shut up! To say such a thing, without knowing all that I’ve given up to do this! It was an order I couldn’t refuse!” (Kura)
Yesterday, the room that Kura to, after being scorned by the older man, had a woman sleeping on the bed inside.
She appeared truly happy to see Kura, as she beamed at him upon waking up. Even after Kura told her that he was ordered to marry Reese, she only shook her head and held his hands in her own.
