chapter 17
17 – Episode 17 The older brother’s misfortune is the younger brother’s
happiness
f*ck!
The hand reflexively hit the little brother’s head.
“evil! brother! why?!”
An intense pain erupted in the crown of his head, and Yohane crouched down in
agony.
I put twin wicks in my eyes and glared at my brother.
The star of the empire, what kind of girlfriend is Her Highness, the 1st
princess?
Hey~ Chiyin?
Is your brother trying to assassinate me?
I have reasonable doubts. It was clear that this guy was trying to get rid of
the bad feelings he usually had for me here.
Otherwise, there is no way this is the case.
A thought came to me then.
So shouldn’t I be in the lead before I get assassinated?
I grabbed my trembling right hand with my left hand.
be patient, be patient Behind her is Her Highness, but you shouldn’t be like
this here.
I whispered in my brother’s ear.
“hey. Not my girlfriend…”
“cadet!”
Yohane had goose bumps.
He covered both ears with his hands.
“Hyung, what are you whispering in my ears? Don’t whisper, just tell me.”
My fist cries again at my brother’s cheeky attitude. Isn’t it your duty as an
older brother to teach your younger brother manners?
So, before the 996th Brotherhood War broke out.
Stella expressed curiosity.
“Hmm… is that boy your brother?”
“Yes, that’s right. I- Stella. He is my brother.”
The moment I almost told you to tell me. Her Highness’ eyes were as fierce as an
eagle’s.
I hurriedly corrected my words and introduced my sister to Her Highness, the
princess.
“Are you a cadet attending the academy?”
“Yes, I entered last year.”
“Then you must be in the same grade as my brother.”
“Perhaps.”
Yohane blinked as he saw the two talking about him.
Though Cadian was desperately preventing Yohane from talking to Stella, fearing
that Yohane would slip up while saying something.
Yohane, who hadn’t noticed, felt dissatisfied with his older brother who
alienated him and participated in the battle without fail.
“So who is this?”
‘If my older brother uses honorific words, is he the son of a duke?’
If he had dark hair, he would have been a duke somewhere.
I memorized the faces of all the Dukes and children, but if you don’t chew the
cud, you will automatically forget it at some point.
So, he searched his head like crazy, but when he couldn’t find a ducal family
that came to mind, Yohane sought an answer from his older brother.
But the only thing that came back was a sharp look.
Yohane tilted her head.
he glanced
Yohane’s eyes: What’s wrong?
Cadian eyes: Are you asking because you don’t know?
Yohane’s eyes: What’s wrong?
Although it is fragmentary, the brothers who have lived together for half a
lifetime were able to convey their intentions with just their eyes.
However, the means of communication were too poor to convey the fact that the
person in front of you was Her Highness Stella, the First Princess of the
Empire.
I let out a deep sigh.
Can’t take any more time here. I noticed that Her Highness, the princess, was
also frowning, as if she didn’t like the continued silence.
If it stays like this, there are 57 angles in the poem. Sensing that, I tried to
introduce Her Highness to the princess, hoping for the notice of my little
brother, but Her Highness spoke first.
“My name is Stella.”
She told me that the usual ‘Yeo’ way of speaking is gone and the princess uses
the first person ‘I’.
“okay. Nice to meet you. Lady Stella. As you have already heard from my older
brother, my name is Johanne de Uzatran.”
I glanced at my younger brother who introduced himself.
“Yanmar!’
If the other person revealed their last name, it was polite that the other
person should also reveal their last name as long as they were aristocrats.
However, Stella, who had already revealed her name, moved on without introducing
her name again.
“Right. By the way, are you close with Cadian?”
“It’s just a decent sibling relationship.”
“Looks like a friendly relationship.”
“I don’t know if my brother thinks so, but I think we’re close.”
Seeing Yohane tremble, Stella smiled.
‘Brothers look a lot alike.’
The way they talk and the way they look, to the extent that anyone who sees them
thinks they are brothers.
‘It’s nice to notice.’
Seeing that his older brother was showing respect, Yohane immediately raised his
voice. Clearly, he understood that he was a person with a higher status than
himself.
“stellar. Why don’t you go somewhere else soon? Stella, how about there?”
Stella let out a laugh when she saw Cadian. Cadian was now desperately trying to
take her to another place where his sister was gone.
Cadian’s pupils began to shake. That’s proof that he’s nervous.
No matter how much she hid her identity, her authority as the princess had not
gone anywhere, so she kept trying to keep her away from her, fearing that her
younger sister would do something rude.
‘By the way, Stella.’
Stella rolled her name in her mouth.
To be honest, Stella, who had never heard her name in her life, was unfamiliar
with having people call her by her name.
Not surprisingly, most officials call her the First Princess, and her younger
brother Chris calls her his sister.
The only person who could normally call her by her name was her father, His
Majesty the Emperor.
Is that why? Stella thought as she felt a complete stranger calling her name.
‘It’s not a bad feeling.’
It didn’t feel too bad when someone called his name.

“Are you here to enjoy the festival with your brother?”
“Yes.”
“Then, I recommend you to visit that corner. I just came from over there and it
was a lot of fun.”
“Let me refer to it.”
Listening to the conversation between the two, I closed my eyes.
At this point, I thought that my little brother’s eyes would have been
adequately understood.
But it wasn’t.
My younger brother was even more ignorant than I thought.
‘Haa… It’s not strange that I don’t know, though.’
For once, it wasn’t strange that the little brother didn’t know Her Highness.
Being aristocrats doesn’t mean you live by seeing all the members of the
imperial family. Rather, my case, which I see every day, is just special.
But do you not react when you hear the name Stella?
I was seriously agonizing over whether my younger sister didn’t know Her
Highness’s name.
But it wasn’t. Yohane also had something to notice.
‘The name of the eldest daughter of Count Priscilla must have been Stella,
right?’
He recalled that the name Stella existed in the family line of Count Priscilla.
And if we roughly infer the situation in which they came to enjoy the festival
while respecting each other even though they were from the same county family.
‘It looks like your mother and father arranged the match.’
came to the conclusion that
It’s a complete delusion, but no one has ever pointed it out.
Yohane was kind to the person who might be his future sister-in-law.
“By the way, what were you doing here?”
“1 was just making a bet.”
“0h, who won?”
“It’s a draw. So I’m going to play another round, do you have any
recommendations?”
“Hmm… if it’s something worth betting on..”
Yohane thought about it even as she stroked her chin.
His older brother was talented enough to win any bet. If it’s a brain fight,
it’s a brain fight, if it’s a physical fight, it’s a physical fight.
When he was young, when he bet with his siblings at home, he was so strong in
betting that it would be his older brother who would win in real life.
It’s a bet with a chance of winning against such an older brother.
…Yohane naturally found a ‘bet to beat his brother’. He wanted the woman to
beat her brother.
Why?
Because they are brothers. One word explains everything.
Yohane snaps a finger! Bounced. I remembered something good.
“There is a competition to catch a lot of fish next door, how about taking part
in it?”
“Fishing. Good idea.”
Stella glanced at Cadian. Cadian, who read the look in his eyes telling him to
go make a bet, glared at his younger brother, but his misfortune turned out to
be his happiness.
The fishing competition was a competition in which the person who caught the
most fish won.
Looking at that, I thought it was surprisingly worth a draw.
‘If I catch more fish and release the same number of fish as Her Royal Highness
caught, it is a draw.’
Although I was participating in the competition, my younger brother Johanne was
the judge of the bet between me and Her Highness the Princess.
“Don’t make biased judgments.”
“TI will not. brother. “Can’t you trust your brother?”
“I don’t believe it.”
“It’s too much.”
“Nothing is too much.”
While flirting, the fishing tournament went smoothly.
Chow-!
Caught another fish. I put the fish in the bucket and counted the amount of
fish.
About 16 fish have been caught so far.
I quietly poked my head out and looked at Her Highness’s bucket.
‘Nine.’
“What?”
“it’s nothing. Is the fishing going well?”
“doing well. Stop spying and go back to your place now.”
About 30 minutes left.
I caught one more fish and quit fishing. Her Highness’s fishing rod moves.
‘If you catch that, 10 fish. If you catch just one more…’
Just then, the game was over.
brother came I secretly released a fish.
“Brother, what are you doing?”
“It’s not even cancer. Have you counted all the fish?”
it will be a draw I thought so, but the answer that came back was very different
from what I expected.
“uh. My brother has lost.”
“what?”
The news came like a thunderclap.
What kind of ghosts are you talking about?
Her Highness, the princess, was smiling behind her sister. The purple eyes fold
finely like a crescent moon.
Those eyes were talking.
‘Don’t look forward to the crossdressing contest.’
