## Chapter 340 – 340. The Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated Into The Baek Family
My attitude and tone were rude. Clearly, it wasn’t the way to treat a guest. I was aware of it myself, but I had no intention of respecting Gent.
‘Damn it. I was in the middle of a sex party with beautiful maids in the pool…!’
I struggled to suppress the murderous intent that was rising. I wanted to kick Gent out of this mansion as quickly as possible.
And when it came to rudeness, Gent was no different. He had come to the mansion with several knights without any prior notice. In this world, it was a level of rudeness that wouldn’t be out of place to be criticized for.
Currently, his knights were watching Floy to make sure he didn’t do anything foolish.
“Seriously, what are you here for?”
I asked again.
At this point, Gent’s personality should have made him angry. But he leisurely took a sip of his tea, then spoke with composure.
“Would you believe me if I said I came to see with my own eyes if my younger brother was doing well?”
“Bullshit.”
The reason I received the barony and became the owner of the port city of Tevra was because of Gent. If that bastard hadn’t played his tricks, I would still be living in the Fruckers County mansion.
Of course, now I feel a little grateful. I’m living a happy life that I couldn’t have imagined in the county mansion.
“Eugene. There are strange rumors going around among the nobles.”
I felt that Gent had grown. The original him would have already yelled at me.
‘Is it because of me? In the original story, Kyle was away from the kingdom, so he didn’t have any enemies until Kyle returned. But the current Gent sees me as an enemy.’
It could only be seen as a change that occurred because of my existence.
“Strange rumors?”
“The rumor that you’ve fallen into same-sex relationships. After coming here myself and seeing the butlers, it seems there’s some credibility to the rumor. What’s the truth? Tell me your true feelings, and I’ll help you.”
All the butlers working in my mansion were women dressed as men. And they were all women who could be called beautiful. That must be the reason for the rumors.
It wasn’t surprising since I had expected it.
“I don’t know where you heard it, but it’s a false rumor. You didn’t come all the way here because of such gossip, did you?”
“A false rumor… I thought it was the truth since you don’t invite outsiders. Was I wrong?”
“Gent, let’s get to the point. What do you want from me? Did you come because of the Korea Trading Company?”
“I have no interest in a trading company.”
I was relieved. That fundamental part of Gent hadn’t changed much. He, who was born a noble, still looked down on merchants.
“I came today because I was worried about you.”
“…Worried?”
“Isn’t the King’s birthday in two months? I was worried that you, with your illness, might overdo it, so I came to see you.”
“Ah. So, in short, you’re saying I should stay in the mansion instead of going to the palace for the birthday?”
“That’s a rough way of putting it, but it seems my meaning has been conveyed.”
I glared at Gent. Gent calmly accepted my gaze.
“Gent, you know that the King’s birthday isn’t just any birthday. It’s his 60th, and it’s also the 30th anniversary of his enthronement. If I’m absent, my reputation will plummet, and no one in society will invite me. I’ll be branded as an ungrateful Fruckers without honor or loyalty.”
“Don’t worry about that. I will personally inform His Majesty and the nobles that my younger brother has a life-threatening heart condition and could not attend. Therefore, nothing you worry about will happen. Rest well here, my brother.”
Words can be different depending on how they’re said. Even a slight change in the tone of the words can make them feel different. There was no way I could trust Gent.
‘Gent’s intentions are obvious. He’s trying to eliminate my influence in society.’
I had no intention of staying still as Gent said.
“Brother, my heart condition is fine. I haven’t had a seizure recently.”
“But your heart condition isn’t completely cured, is it?”
“It’s close to being cured. I can move around without any problems even if I overdo it. No matter what you say, I’m going to the palace. I’ve already prepared a gift for His Majesty.”
“My brother, it seems you don’t know the world well because you’ve only been in safe places. The world isn’t a peaceful place. It’s common for people to be eaten by monsters while traveling. This is the frontier. It takes a long time to reach the capital. You don’t have proper soldiers or knights, so how will you survive against monsters and bandits? Rest comfortably in the mansion. I’ll deliver the gift you prepared for His Majesty.”
“I didn’t know you were so worried about me, brother. I’m grateful, but it’s okay. I’m planning to travel with Mother.”
“What!?”
Gent’s eyes widened as if he hadn’t expected it.
“You’re going with that woman…?”
“That woman? She’s my mother, even if we’re not related by blood. Mother.”
Elaine Cassiot.
The second wife of Count Fruckers and the biological mother of the protagonist, Kyle. She wasn’t related to me by blood.
And she was also the woman I was aiming for.
“I haven’t asked Mother yet, but if I do, she’ll definitely agree. We’re family. It’s not like I’m asking to borrow money, it’s just traveling together, so there’s no way she’d refuse. The main family has a knight order, so the safety you’re talking about is naturally guaranteed. There’s no way our family’s knight order would be defeated by monsters and bandits. Or do you not trust the family’s knights, brother?”
“……”
“Is your business done? I won’t forget your concern. So, please leave the mansion now.”
Gent’s face contorted at my words. But he soon regained his composure and lowered his voice threateningly, unlike before, and called my name.
“Eugene.”
“What.”
“I told you before that I was testing you. I said I would tell you the results of the test on the day I take over the Fruckers County title.”
“Ah. That’s right. Maybe you’ll never hear the results of the test.”
I laughed at him.
“I’ll give you an interim grade now. You’ve failed.”
“Failed. That’s familiar. I’m not good at tests. As you know, I’m a bit sickly.”
“…I can overlook the Korea Trading Company. But I heard you’ve been meeting with nobles lately.”
“I can’t refuse invitations.”
“I heard you’ve been meeting with the family’s vassals. And you’ve been giving them a lot of gifts.”
“They’re the elders of the family. I have to take care of them. If not me, who will?”
“…It’s not too late. I’ll give you a chance to change the test results. Stay still in this mansion and don’t move.”
It was a warning.
Before, I would have been annoyed but accepted his warning. Gent’s power was too great to openly oppose. I would have pretended to be obedient while waiting for Kyle to return, then tried to stab Gent in the back.
But the situation had changed.
Yuria had reached the level of an Aura Master much faster than I had expected. She was currently a low-level Aura Master, but if she fought Ention Fruckers, a mid-level Aura Master, Yuria would win.
Yuria was also an Archmage, and she had more talent than other Aura Masters.
“Brother, I told you before. No matter what you say, I’m going to the palace.”
Gent sighed.
“……I see. I didn’t know my younger brother was this stupid.”
I smiled. From now on, we were enemies. But I wouldn’t try to kill him. At least for now, we were family with the same blood.
Also, if he killed his brother, his vassals would be afraid. They would think that if he killed his brother, he would kill them more easily. He would try to avoid the worst methods as much as possible.
“I don’t know when we’ll talk again… I don’t know if we’ll be able to talk while laughing.”
Gent was about to get up from his seat. It was welcome news that Gent was leaving the mansion. But if I let him go like this, I felt like I would die of frustration.
“Brother.”
“What is it.”
“I’ll show you something amazing. You’ll be incredibly surprised the moment you see it. I can guarantee it.”
“Something amazing?”
Gent narrowed his eyes.
I reached out my hand to Yuria, who was beside me. The quick-witted Yuria placed a dagger on my hand without a moment’s hesitation.
“……Eugene. I don’t think you’re that foolish…”
“No. It’s not what you think. Just watch.”
I covered the blade with my other palm.
“Ta-da!”
When I lowered my covered palm, blue aura was flickering like flames on the blade.
“……!”
Gent’s eyes widened. He was surprised like a noble who had just heard that an epidemic had suddenly broken out in his territory, something he had never imagined.
Gent stared for a long time, and only after I turned off the aura did he finally open his mouth.
“H-how… How did you…!”
“I put in some effort. Ah, since I’m 17 now, isn’t that the youngest age in the kingdom’s history to become an Expert?”
I chuckled. In fact, the one who became an Aura Expert at the youngest age was Yuria, who was beside me.
For reference, Gent became an Aura Expert at the age of 24.
“……”
Gent couldn’t say anything and trembled. I could feel the jealousy and inferiority he felt towards me.
If the fact that I could use aura became known, I could draw some of the vassals who followed Gent or those who were neutral into my faction.
And my reputation in the kingdom would completely change. I might even be treated like a hero.
“Brother. Go back safely. As you said, this world is dangerous. When we meet again… well, would anything change? We’re brothers by blood.”
“……”
Gent left the mansion with his escort knights, as if his soul had left his body.
“Master. Weren’t you too hasty…?”
“It’s okay. It’s okay. I have you.”
I grabbed Yuria’s cheeks and pulled her towards me, kissing her. My other hand burrowed into Yuria’s chest.
“Haa…”
•••
A month later.
I received information that Gent had become engaged to a noble lady.
He, who had no intention of getting married before becoming the official successor, had suddenly become engaged. This was clearly to keep me in check.
His marriage partner was Vivi Heolis, the daughter of Marquis Heolis.
The Marquis Heolis family was a great noble family in the western part of the Rapelli Kingdom. They were also one of the top five richest families in the Rapelli Kingdom and the owners of the Hollis Trading Company. The Hollis Trading Company was part of the Kozline Trading Company and had a great influence.
‘Did he get engaged to the eldest daughter of the Heolis family because of the Korea Trading Company, which is my biggest trump card? What a troublesome bastard.’
I wanted to assassinate him right away, but that would cause chaos. There was also a high possibility that the vassals would suspect me. Even if I were to assassinate him, I had to avoid doing it at this time. Also, I didn’t want to defeat him in such a trivial way.
‘There’s no way I can’t beat that bastard. And later, when I take over the county title, I want to see him begging for his life while clinging to my legs.’
I checked the portrait of Vivi Heolis.
She was a beautiful woman with rare bright lime-green hair. According to the information written in the documents, the Heolis family had some elven blood. It seemed that elven blood had been mixed in about 300 years ago.
‘Her skin is white, and her breasts are… A cup? Flat. But her proportions are really good. Her arms are thin, and her legs must be outstanding. I can’t tell in detail because she’s wearing a dress, but… she’s not bad.’
I felt my dick reacting.
A porn movie was already being made in my head.
Porn or erotic novels often use the theme of a sister-in-law. And I’ve often seen news about affairs with sisters-in-law in real life.
‘Ah, damn it. I’m getting more turned on because I remembered a webtoon I saw before.’
I thought about the King’s birthday next month. At that time, Gent, as well as Vivi Heolis, would come to the palace.
‘And she’s probably a virgin.’
They were only engaged, not actually married. High-ranking nobles valued chastity, so they probably hadn’t had a relationship. Gent was a noble to the bone, so even more so.
‘I have to take this opportunity to fuck her. Hehe…’
I was already drooling. The hair on my sister-in-law’s pussy would probably be the same lime-green color as her hair. Maybe her pussy would even taste like grass.
