Episode 111

My surprised mother grabbed Fio and shook him.

Where?

[Stop shaking me it’s annoying!]

Oh, sorry.

She put Fio down carefully.

[Since they are brothers, I thought it was Ethan.]

Is it Ethan?

Fio nodded at my question.

When I asked him if he meant it was his brother?

If it’s his brother, it’s a different story. I don’t know how Fio feels about magic, but magic has similar characteristics from generation to generation.

[That’s right. Even Karina sometimes smells spicy].

At Fio’s words, I kept my mouth shut for a moment.

Then, couldn’t we find out if we met another member of the Cassel family?

The only remaining immediate family of the Cassel family would be Chief Julius Cassel. In the Cassel family, all direct descendants who did not become chiefs are cast out as collateral.

After Ethan was chosen as the next chief of the family, all the other siblings were cast out as collateral.

This was natural because the brothers were close to the direct line.

It was known that the brothers who did not become chiefs left their families to pursue other jobs.

But no one really knew them.

Perhaps they are all dead.

Known for being merciful and generous, the reality of the Cassel family was brutal.

It will be hard to meet Julius. He says he wants to leave all family matters to Ethan and devote the rest of his life to research.

It wasn’t easy to get someone out of the way.

However, as long as Julius is still the head of the family, there will be times when he has to show up.

If he doesn’t come out, we have to get him cornered.

It seemed like he had to do something bigger and more glamorous.

Allison stopped by the Duke’s residence to check on my mother’s condition.

You’ve improved a lot, Mrs. de la Torre. At this rate, we should be able to get rid of all the distorted magic in at least a year.

The amount of distorted magic my mother absorbed was more than I expected.

Even after she woke up, she had to continuously purify her magic and monitor the progress.

I told you. It’s no big deal.

My mother shrugged her shoulders with a mischievous expression.

I’m glad she’s okay. It was going to be a disaster.

At Allison’s words, my mother shut her mouth again.

I grabbed Allison, who was about to leave after the exam, and suggested tea.

Because there were a few things I wanted to ask her.

What was Allison like the first time she saw Tatiana?

Are you talking about first impressions?

Yes. I’m curious about the image or how you felt.

Allison frowned slightly at Tatiana’s story.

When she discovered that Tatiana had manipulated her feelings for her with an intangible power, resentment seemed to grow.

I thought she was a brilliant and lovely woman. I also felt she was crossing the line a bit.

Yes.

But my eyes kept looking at her.

After being warned by the demigod, I began to investigate what Tatiana had in common with anyone who could manipulate her taste.

Even if it is natural for male protagonists to be the ones who were originally created that way in this world?

Tatiana’s bracelet might touch the extras, but not mine.

If so, I couldn’t rule out the possibility that there might be differences between the two bracelets, or that there might be several more features of the bracelet that I was unaware of.

Then, among the extras, I began to find the difference between those who were blindly attracted to it and those who were not.

I don’t know why I was so concerned in the first place. Originally, I was more supportive of the princess than the Grand Duchess?

Yes?

Allison’s eyes widened in embarrassment.

That…. When the princess went to the academy, I was there too. I don’t know if you remember, but the princess once helped me, so I was secretly cheering for you.

She blushed with embarrassment even as she spoke.

But no matter how much I think about it, I don’t remember helping Allison.

Allison?

It’s nothing. Maybe when she was going through a hard time because of Dr. Gregory, she just walked by and said a word. It was very hard at the time, but it was a great comfort to me.

It was my fault that I met such a talented person and missed her.

Although we met first, she was taken by Tatiana and her life was ruined in the end.

Why am I always one step late?

No, I’m just grateful that you gave me my life back even now.

Allison was meeting Robert these days.

The simple ring on his left hand was something I had never seen before.

Allison said with a shy smile, feeling my gaze.

Thanks to you, I found the person I loved again.

If you have good news, you must tell me.

I’m planning to get married soon. Could the princess come too?

Of course she could.

The person who played the most important role in their engagement was me, so of course I had to attend.

Suddenly, the story changed to the story of Allison and Robert’s engagement.

Besides Lily, who came home from work, we talked for quite some time.

Allison’s happy appearance filled her with pride.

Returning to the room, I tried to remember the moment Allison spoke of.

Oh.

Then, a thought crossed my mind. That is, I found the commonalities of those who were influenced by Tatiana.

They were all the people I knew before Tatiana.

To be precise, the first people I met and they liked me.

«Niveia met Tatiana before me.»

So Tatiana didn’t convince her.

Except for Allison, Robert and Eric who met Tatiana first before they even knew her.

It was the same with the main characters.

Daniel and I have known each other since birth because we were engaged from the womb.

In Raymond’s case, he was introduced first by my mother.

Wilhelm I have also known since childhood, as we were close friends.

Tatiana and I started dating when we were about 10 years old.

And I was the only person at the academy who was in love with Andrew, whom no one was interested in, and even dated him.

Also, in Aster’s case, there was no contact with me, and Tatiana was the first person he met and she fell in love.

So Tatiana could not touch his taste.

Nonsense.

The protagonist of this world was Tatiana.

At least that’s what I remember.

But if all the emotions she took were triggered by me, is she really the heroine of this world?

* * *

I met Helen, who had just returned from the border, after a long time.

We met in a cafe where she often goes and talked about the past.

Sir Wilhelm left the capital?

Yes, I think he went to clear his mind for the grand duchess.

It happened after all.

She made an unfamiliar expression.

Regardless of what he did to you, Sir Wilhelm was a very good knight. When he was in the Imperial Knights, I have fond memories of him helping a lot….

He told me about the time he saw Tatiana and Wilhelm.

It is even stranger to see people suddenly change in front of you.

Tatiana, no matter how bold, did nothing to attract lovers in front of me.

After we talked a couple of times, the expression on her face softened and after that, the affection disappeared from her eyes. He looked like someone possessed by a pseudo-religion.

It’s not like religion.

Helen shook her head, soaked in coffee because her mouth was dry.

It was the same with Filia. Fortunately, she escaped quickly.

Maybe it’s because I unlocked the end.

As the original’s deterrence weakened, the power of the bracelet seemed to weaken.

Anyway, I’m glad you’ve come to your senses now.

Before you humiliate me further.

Wilhelm was the weakest among the male protagonists.

All he had was the fame and the sword he had built, but now all he had left was his stigma.

If he wasn’t a male protagonist, would he have been a little different if he hadn’t met Tatiana?

He was once a despicable man to death, but it wasn’t very nice to see him being used and abandoned by the one he loved.

Oh, and my father wants to see you?

Marquis Henry?

I don’t know if it’s right to say something like that… it’s because of that railroad problem.

Is the marquis interested?

Yes.

Helen scratched the back of her neck and smiled broadly.

Anyway, after His Majesty issued the official notice, we checked if there was such a problem in our territory. Unfortunately, more than half of the logistics went to them.

The Marquis of Henry was located in the fertile lands to the west.

It is no exaggeration to say that 30% of the food consumed by the Empire came from Henry’s Marquis.

Taking control of the logistics of such a marquis could lead to an increase in wheat prices.

If the marquis tells me a convenient time, I will visit him.

Ah, that…

Helen looked back awkwardly.

I followed her gaze and turned my head to see a man I had seen somewhere.

Pleased to meet you, princess. May I sit next to you?
