Villainess Is Changing Her Role To A BroCon

Chapter 213

Unconsciously, Ekaterina clutched her brother’s sleeve.

This was it! The root of Novadine’s leeway!

I had thought that he might be trying to make Miss Keira a duchess. I had also thought that she was behaving strangely.

This is the reason: He already had the trump card to make Miss Keira a duchess from my father and the old lady without having to make her flirt with Big Brother. That explains why she greeted Big Brother at Yurinova Castle with such arrogance.

But still, what is this?

It was just like a crime scene in a game.

No way, no way, no way, the game didn’t go according to the scenario? Did the doom flag just strike here?

“Ekaterina, are you okay?”

“Yes, Big Brother.”

Ekaterina came to her senses when she saw the worried look on his face.

I need to be strong. Something is not right here.

“Alexei-sama!”

Keira shouted impatiently.

Alexei turned his gaze on her, a gaze that was different from the one he directed at his sister. Keira’s face lit up, as if she didn’t even notice the coldness of his gaze and was simply delighted that their eyes had met.

“Alexei-sama.”

She took a kneeling bow, which was probably inherited from her mother, but was still a fine kneeling bow. Keira then smiled and extended her hand to Alexei.

“I am so happy to finally be able to stand next to you! I will never leave you alone again. I will always be with you! Both my father and mother want to support you, Alexei. Even though they are in-laws, they are still your parents. You don’t have to be so serious about the territory anymore. My father will handle everything, and you will be able to live your life as freely as your father, Lord Alexandre. I have always dreamed of the day I would set you free!”

…In her brother’s arms, Ekaterina couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

Um, Vertical Roll-chan.

You’ve really come to believe that, haven’t you? If you marry Big Brother and old man Novadine takes over Yurinova, Big Brother will be happy.

Wow, amazing.

But… Come to think of it, that was not surprising. She was still a child. From a child’s point of view, his father, who led a glamorous, carefree life devoid of responsibility or duty, must have seemed a blessed man.

I would not say that Big Brother, who had been burdened with responsibilities since he was a child, was a happy man. But beyond Big Brother’s duties, the happiness and unhappiness of many people’s lives in his domain were at stake. How could he be happy if he abandoned them?

Vertical Roll, you would never understand it, and you would probably laugh at me if I tried to explain the responsibilities to you. I remembered that being fifteen was usually like that in my previous life.

Oh, but this girl was worse than a fifteen-year-old in my previous life. She was a girl who looked down on the commoners, using her aristocratic status as a cover.

The local villainess. When a villainess tried something flashy like this, she would get herself into trouble.

Because – Big Brother, he seemed very calm.

Alexei stroked his sister’s hair and smiled reassuringly.

“Ekaterina, will you wait for a moment?”

“Yes, Big Brother.”

As Ekaterina let go of his sleeve, Alexei looked up and focused on Novadine. A piercing, neon-blue gaze.

Passing by Keira’s offered hand and Keira herself in complete silence, Alexei looked down squarely at Novadine.

“Letter, please.”

“Ha…”

Novadine flinched but then handed over the letter, and Alexei quickly examined its contents.

He nodded with a cold expression.

Then he looked around the hall and called out.

“Danielle, is Danielle Regal here?”

There was a slight pause, and then the answer came back.

“Yes, my lord, Danielle Regal, at your service.”
