Chapter 111
* * *
Adel came out after organizing the bedding with the maids.
“I wonder why the young lady wants to sleep together with the young masters?”
At Assistant Butler Grans’s question, Adel also tilted her head.
“Lady Tulia always has deep meaning in what she does, so she must have some plan in mind. I can’t guess what it might be either…”
Only the personal physician answered triumphantly as if he knew everything.
“The young lady is still a child! She wants to make memories with her older brothers!”
“Our young lady?”
“Lady Tulia?”
Grans and Adel’s responses overlapped simultaneously. They looked at each other and shrugged.
Only the personal physician nodded confidently. He looked to the side and said.
“Well then, Mr. Tess? Please give me your room for today.”
“Pardon?”
Tess, Leon Frazier’s personal physician, was flustered by the sudden request.
“Why my room…?”
“Our young lady is delicate, you know. She’s someone who was seriously injured before, so if anything happens to her, I need to rush over like the wind.”
“Ah…”
Tess, Leon’s personal physician, immediately understood.
“That’s certainly true.”
“Right?”
“Yes, then I’ll give up my room. Mr. Aiden. Anyone can see that Lady Tulia looks more delicate than our Leon Young Master.”
“Oh my, thank you for understanding.”
While the two personal physicians were warmly exchanging rooms.
“Excuse me, Mr. Tess, Mr. Aiden.”
Another personal physician standing behind them, that is.
“That room was originally my room.”
“…”
“…”
Grace, Lisian’s personal physician, raised a fundamental question.
“This is Young Master Lisian’s quarters to begin with…?”
“Ahem.”
“Ahem ahem.”
She couldn’t understand it at all.
She could accept that Tulia had come to Lisian’s quarters.
But why had Leon Frazier also barged in here…?
“Lady Tulia aside, why did Leon Young Master also barge in… I’m sorry. Why did Leon Young Master come to these quarters as well?”
From the moment they were born, despite being together almost every day, those twins had never once slept in the same bedroom.
They weren’t babies, and they thought sleeping in the same bedroom as brothers was like being scared little children.
Especially Leon Frazier had strong feelings about this, so the twins had slept together only a handful of times.
To Grace’s question, Tess, Leon Frazier’s personal physician, answered in a kind voice.
“Well, you see, Ms. Grace.”
“Yes.”
“It’s because Leon Young Master is suffering from the incurable disease called jealousy.”
Grace nodded reluctantly.
“Ah… Jealousy…”
“Yes.”
“So you’re saying he came running because he was jealous of Lady Tulia and Lisian Young Master chatting intimately before sleep.”
“Yes.”
“…That Leon Young Master who always takes first place in Academy swordsmanship classes and competitions.”
“That’s right.”
“…”
In the end, Grace shook her head vigorously.
* * *
“Lisian oppa. Well then, good night.”
“Yeah, you too Tulia.”
I lay on the bed and blinked my eyes.
“But oppa. Are you okay with giving me the bed?”
Lisian had given me his bed and settled himself on the sofa.
Of course, the sofa was large and soft, perfectly adequate as a bed substitute.
“Ma, making a lady sleep on the floor is, is etiquette that, that doesn’t exist anywhere on the continent.”
“Hehe.”
As I’ve experienced many times, being treated as a ‘lady’ is more enjoyable than expected.
“Thank you, oppa.”
When I pulled the blanket up to my nose and smiled, Lisian also let out a laugh.
“Hey. Why don’t you thank me?”
A voice that immediately broke the mood was heard. I lifted my upper body slightly.
Leon Frazier was really lying on the ‘floor’ with just a few blankets spread out.
He had the expression of a very disgruntled mutt.
Suddenly barging into Lisian’s room and all.
“Why should I thank you? I asked Lisian oppa to let me sleep here.”
At my question, Leon Frazier seemed momentarily speechless.
But only for a moment.
“No, I’m also the same oppa but isn’t the discrimination a bit severe? Do you like it when you two play together leaving me out? Huh? Do you like it?”
“Lisian oppa.”
At my call, Lisian immediately responded.
“Yeah? Tulia?”
I asked in a serious tone.
“Is he really the same age as oppa? Isn’t he actually younger than me? Isn’t he seriously aging prematurely?”
Leon Frazier jumped up and shouted.
“Hey! I’m older than you!”
“No, it’s not convincing. Not convincing. Where exactly did you put your age?”
“Wow, hyung. Look at her, seriously.”
Leon Frazier protested in a truly aggrieved voice.
“We really need to have a serious family meeting about this. She doesn’t think of me as an oppa or even as a human!”
‘Oops. I think I got caught.’
Actually, lately Leon Frazier often looked like a giant large dog to me.
If I told him this, he would definitely throw another fit asking ‘Do I look like a mutt to you?’ so I didn’t say anything.
I lay back down on the bed properly and curled up in a ball with the blanket.
“Lisian oppa. Good night.”
“You too Tulia. Ha, have good dreams.”
Leon Frazier’s voice suddenly intruded into this peaceful atmosphere like cozy candlelight flickering warmly.
“Hey. Tulia. What about me?”
“Go away.”
“….”
The bedding that Adel had freshly arranged was fluffy and had been warmed beforehand with hot stones, making it very cozy.
‘I came here impulsively, but it’s actually quite nice….’
I had rushed to Lisian because I was scared of the status window.
The bedroom was spacious (though Leon Frazier sleeps on the floor).
The bed was soft (though Leon Frazier sleeps on the floor).
The atmosphere was cozy (though Leon Frazier sleeps on the floor).
‘It feels safe.’
I thought I would shamelessly leech off his bedroom until Lisian kicked me out.
However, Lisian never once drove me away or indirectly refused me.
Leon Frazier too, though he grumbled about always sleeping on the hard ground, never once returned to his own quarters.
In the end, the three of us lived harmoniously in Lisian’s bedroom, sleeping, reading books, and drinking tea.
“Hey. What are you eating?”
“Fresh cream pastries. Adel baked them for me.”
Your head maid, how does she even find the time….”
It was true that Adel had become incredibly busy after being entrusted with the domestic affairs.
But even so, Adel made taking care of me her top priority.
She would personally make snacks for me like this once every two days.
“Hmm. It looks really sweet. Is it good?”
Leon’s eyes immediately widened as he snatched the cream pastry and stuffed it in his mouth.
“It’s delicious?”
Lisian, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book, spoke without even looking up.
“Leon. Don’t take too much of Tulia’s snacks.”
“Hyung. I didn’t eat that much.”
Leon Frazier’s cheeks were puffed up as he mumbled, but he didn’t reach for my pastry basket anymore.
We sat around the fireplace sharing cocoa, chewing dried fruits, coughing after eating spicy beef stew, falling asleep together while reading books.
The days were cozy to the point of being lazy.
And they were also days without fear.
‘They’re both male leads, so they must be incredibly strong.’
I deliberately tested the status window thoroughly when Lisian and Leon were present, when the sun was high in the sky.
When the room was bustling with personal physicians and servants, but there were no more eerie reactions like before.
While I thought it was fortunate, it was also strange.
‘Don’t turn this into a horror story. You know this isn’t a horror game.’
While hoping it was just a temporary glitch.
It was odd.
This is a place where I live and breathe, so how could there be an ‘error’?
Well, if you think about it that way, seeing a game system window itself is crazy to begin with.
Time flowed like clouds.
Before long, the Grand Ducal House’s settlement period was approaching.
With nobles arriving one after another, the castle was more lively than ever.
The annex buildings were filling up one by one, and the servants became busy as well.
“Miss. Grand Count Nigella will arrive soon.”
“Okay.”
Meanwhile, since Nigella was of higher rank than me, I had to come out to greet him with the twins.
The retainers and noble ladies who were passing by also stopped to join the greeting upon hearing that Nigella had arrived.
And finally, the moment the carriage stopped.
“Huh… who is that woman?”
“It’s that woman! Belladonna Mertung!”
“Wait, did he bring his mistress to the main castle?”
“I heard she received the title of Countess Orquin from Her Majesty the Empress.”
“Even so, a mistress is still a mistress.”
“Besides, His Grace the Grand Duke will be furious….”
In an instant, countless nobles whispered to each other.
“Wow. This is something I didn’t expect.”
Leon Frazier next to me whistled lightly.
“And she’s dressed incredibly lavishly. Was Uncle Nigella that wealthy?”
As Leon Frazier said, Belladonna Mertung was so beautiful it was dazzling to look at.
‘Was Nigella really that rich?’
Rich enough to lavish so much on his mistress?
Enormously large diamonds and sapphires, rubies and emeralds, and other expensive jewels hung all over her dress.
The parasol she held and the heels of her shoes glimpsed between her dress were red.
‘She’s dressed even more extravagantly than Empress Carmi?’
Thinking that Nigella must have deliberately gifted her clothes and accessories, I made a puzzled expression when I saw him getting out of the carriage.
I immediately whispered to Lisian.
“Brother.”
“Yes. Tulia.”
“Uncle Nigella. Doesn’t he look rather unhappy?”
“…Yes. Very much so.”
I thought he would look triumphant after dressing his mistress so beautifully and luxuriously, but Nigella had a grim expression.
Even Belladonna Mertung, who was smiling brilliantly, had shadows in her expression when I looked closely.
‘Did they fight on the way here?’
So even adulterous couples fight.
I thought they wouldn’t even fight since they’d think it was the love of the century.
Strange, I thought, as I stepped forward. The twins served as my escorts.
“Uncle Nigella. And Countess Orquin. Welcome to the main castle.”
Sandra was of lower rank than us, so there was no need to greet her.
Belladonna Mertung wore her characteristic poisonous flower-like smile.
That was fine up to that point.
“Thank you for welcoming me. Tulia.”
“…?”
“It makes coming all this way feel worthwhile.”
Wait, hold on.
Did this woman just speak informally to me?
