Became the Younger Sister of the Villainous Young Lady 83

Chapter 83 – Richard (4)

If Edwin wasn’t taken care of properly this time, the later work would be annoying, so there was no option to postpone it until later, but there was no need to be very impatient.

The bait to catch Edwin has been carefully laid out, so all you have to do is wait patiently for him to take the bait.

The rest of the leave of absence is not that relaxed, but in that case, you can ask the academy to extend it.

It reminds me of the dean smiling and stamping.

“Yes? Are you talking about extending the leave period? Hee hee, I will do as much as I can.”

Although it feels like they will allow it for a month or two.

However, it was only in the realm of possibility, and I wanted to deal with Edwin and return without such a thing.

It was a strange feeling for an academy cadet to be treated so much by the dean, and I didn’t want to skip the academy that I was attending.

‘In the end, it’s a matter of how quickly Edwin takes the bait.’

If the time delay was too long, I thought about making a proper proof of Edwin’s contract with the devil and covering it up as I had originally planned.

Although I don’t think it will be too late given the personality of Edwin I know.

Richard was accelerating his training after hearing from me that Edwin had made a pact with the devil.

Edwin’s contract with the devil may sound absurd at first glance, but I don’t know if the reason he believed my words was because he trusted me so much, or if Edwin’s behavior was so bad.

At least he could tell that Richard was preparing for the moment that was about to come.

Today, Richard, who had returned from training vigorously with the Golden Eagle Knights, saw me and knelt on one knee.

Superficially, complicated problems would arise the moment Richard, the second prince, kneeled down on me as the duke of the Empire, but like this, when we were alone or with Iris, Richard began to treat the two of us with strict etiquette.

Aside from the fact that it was fun to watch Iris make a puzzled expression while being treated so kindly by her father’s older brother, Richard’s attitude was quite unfamiliar to me as well.

I know now that this world is not the world I know in a game, but even so, the background of the character Richard and its ending were quite impressive to me, who had only heard about the setting through my sister.

“Richard.”
“Yes. Prince Chepes.”

At my call, Richard raised his head.

Unblinking eyes. I asked.

“Did you swing your sword today as well?”
“That’s right. Prince Chepeshu said he would use me as a sword to punish my older brother, so I need to prepare for that day.”

I couldn’t help but ask

“Edwin hasn’t let go of his sword for more than twenty years.”
“Hmm. I understand what Chepesh wants to say.”

Richard laughed bitterly. He pursed his lips for a moment, as if choosing his words, then opened his mouth.

“My older brother just doesn’t have the qualities of a master, isn’t he more talented than me? He had to be sincere even when dealing with Aaron, who had never even properly held a sword, so how could I let my guard down against my brother who once wielded a sword to become a master?”

Oh, that’s right.

Only then did I know Richard, he seriously thought that he might lose to Edwin.

A talent that lags behind Edwin, a dunjae who can’t even be a genius.

The appearance of Richard, who can speak of such talent without shame or even hesitation, is nothing short of a big crowd, but…

I could see

The slight trembling of his hands.

It was an expression of fear and shame in the unconscious.

“Are you afraid of Edwin?”

I had one setup that came to mind.

In the end, it was the setting that twenty years ago, when he couldn’t become an Aura Master, that is, Edwin, who was still younger and more energetic than now, had failed to overcome his anger and acted out.

That anger was directed at his younger siblings who were inferior to him, and among them, Richard had received most of Edwin’s anger… , Such a setup.

In the meantime, it must have been a setting to emphasize the fact that Richard was actually such a kind and wonderful person—that shows Richard’s temperament, who endured even the evil that was directed against his younger brothers by himself.

In fact, the truth behind the setting made Richard fear Edwin to this day.

“… Yes.”

Richard nodded his head. He smiled lightly, and at first glance seemed innocent, but I did not miss the corners of his trembling lips.

I clicked my tongue.

“You managed not to notice me either.”
“Haha. Is that so? I don’t know if it’s a good thing that I didn’t improve my swordsmanship, and only this kind of skill increased.”

Even in the midst of this, he shudders.

I sighed lightly, but I had no intention of giving up his role now.

The fact that Richard is the most suitable dagger to stab Edwin remains unchanged even now. It’s just that Richard has personal problems…

“Follow me.”
“Yes? Ah, yes.”

He spat out his words indifferently and turned around. Hurrying up from behind, feeling the presence of him following me, I led him to the room where Iris was.

“Iris.”

Smart.

I knocked on the door and waited for a moment for an answer.

“…”

Silence. I could feel the presence on the other side of the door, but there was no answer.
Then you don’t have to wait any longer.

Jump.
When I opened the door and went in, Iris, who was neatly dressed as if she had been dressing up and tied his hair up in a bun, stopped and looked at Richard and me.

“… I-I asked for a knock.”
“I knocked.”
“… I couldn’t hear you.”

The lie was obvious.

I think I got dressed in a hurry when I heard a knock.
I tilted my head. If you changed your clothes, the ones you took off must be somewhere.

…

The grains of light that faded from Iris’ wrist were very vaguely visible.

Did you use the subspace to store the holy sword?

I just laughed mischievously.

“What if the goddess gets angry at you for storing personal items in the space where you put the holy sword?”
“It’s okay because I got permission from the goddess…”

Perhaps she was taken aback by my words, she lit up twin wicks in her eyes to retort. Perhaps realizing that her words were eventually acknowledging mine, Iris bit his mouth tightly.

“Seed.”

In the end, unable to find even her own, she rolled her feet and glanced at me.

“Let’s go out for a second. Do some tidying up…”

If I had been alone, she would have sat down and watched Iris clean her room, but since she had Richard next to her, she couldn’t do that.

Richard, who was bruised with me by his master and daughter-in-law younger sister Iris, who had followed me and decided to serve me, was bewildered, but I wondered if he would adapt if left alone.

After a while.

As Richard and I were standing in a daze in front of the door, Iris’s voice came through the door.

“Come on in.”

As we opened the door and entered, Iris greeted us with a slightly pouty face.

“What happened all of a sudden? Even if my brother said so, Richard… Until.”

After the day she received Richard’s oath, Iris made a conscious effort to treat Richard as a knight, not her blood.

Even so, it seemed pretty awkward.

It will gradually get better Or maybe this relationship could be maintained. Since the relationship is that of an older brother who serves her youngest brother, it may be strange that it is normal.

After Iris inherited the throne and became emperor, it was only natural that Richard, who was a member of the imperial family and was the first to be loyal to Iris along with Arnold, would become her closest aide.

Anyway, that’s all for later.

I decided to explain her purpose for coming to see her Iris.

“Iris. In your opinion, who would win in a duel between Richard and Edwin? If you are nearing the master’s stage, you can easily understand.”

Yes.

This time, the experience in the imperial family gave Iris a change of heart, and she was in a state of progress.

To the point where it wouldn’t be strange to cross the wall sooner or later.

After she overcomes her wall, it might be possible to fight on an equal footing with her sister.

Anyway, it’s her with the Aura Master right in front of her nose. He frowns at my question and looks at me as if he’s talking about something.

“What kind of comparison are you making? Come Richard, of course… Richard wins.”

You say so?
I turned to see Richard with a bewildered face.

I asked Iris again to block the possibility.

“What if?”
“What if? Hmm. I don’t know if Edwin was actually a wizard.”

If it’s a wizard, there’s no way I wouldn’t recognize it, so after all, that means there’s no if.

By the way, Edwin is no longer my older brother, but just Edwin.

I liked Iris’s small but steady changes.
