Chapter 141

A bright smile immediately bloomed on my lips. I jumped up from my seat.

“Brother!”

And I ran straight toward them.

“This kid, I really missed you so much-“

“Brotherrrr!”

I rushed past Leon Frazier and threw myself into Lisian’s arms.

“Tulia! If, if you do this, you’ll get hurt…!”

“I figured brother would catch me just fine!”

Even if he’s not quite at the level of Leon Frazier with his monstrous skills, Lisian is also an excellent student who shows outstanding performance in swordsmanship.

“…Can’t you see me?”

“Oh, hi, hi.”

“Ha. Brother. Is this really right? Am I really this kid’s brother?”

Leon said with a deeply aggrieved expression.

“Besides, I came a day earlier than brother and was with you!”

That was true. I heard they were coming together, but Leon had some whim and said he’d stop by another nearby territory first.

So yesterday I had dinner with Lisian and we talked about various things.

‘Of course, during that time Klaus was…’

“Whatever, just take this.”

My thoughts were shattered by Leon Frazier.

“What is that?”

I looked at Leon Frazier’s hands with curiosity. He was carrying what looked like a bunch of gift packages – were they actually presents?

‘No way. Leon Frazier?’

“I just picked them up on the way. Throw them away if you want.”

Speaking coldly, Leon Frazier tossed the packages.

Not to me, of course, but to Max and Grans who always assist me.

They skillfully caught the boxes and approached me. Of course, Leon Frazier also sauntered over.

“Open them.”

When I opened the boxes, my eyes went wide.

“Wow! These are presents! Where did you get the money for these?! Thank you!”

“…Sigh. I heard thanks, but why don’t I feel particularly happy about it.”

I was too busy opening the gift boxes to care about his grumbling. But then…

“Leon.”

“Yeah.”

“Why is only one box a pretty dress and all the rest weapons?”

That was right. The gift boxes were full of various daggers, whips, knuckle-like weapons, and other diverse deadly instruments.

“They’re yours?”

“They’re yours though?”

“…?”

My confusion was brief. Leon looked around at the territory residents who were busily sowing seeds.

“But what’s all this? Were you really planning to develop this Belus Territory?”

“Why else would I have come all the way here? Look, there are quite a lot of territory residents, and they’re all diligent, right?”

“Tulia Frazier.”

“Yeah.”

“What human wouldn’t become diligent in front of you?”

“Huh?”

“You have a tendency to underestimate yourself too much.”

“What? Wait. What does that mean? What does that mean?”

“Hmm. Brother.”

Leon Frazier let my words go in one ear and out the other as he stared at the castle visible in the distance.

“That castle will need to be properly repaired by calling people from the main castle, right?”

“Yeah. We, we should pro, probably do that… ah.”

“If it’s that guy’s castle, it might become known as the demon lord’s castle. We need to make at least the exterior look pretty. For the Frazier House’s image, if nothing else.”

“What’s with you, punk?”

I couldn’t stand it anymore and grabbed Leon Frazier by the collar, but he looked completely unbothered.

“Brother. How is this kid really a lady of the Frazier House?”

Leon Frazier even lifted me up like a doll with both hands.

Good grief, at my age, having my feet dangling in the air like a child was absolutely infuriating.

No, just how strong is he exactly?

“Tulia Frazier.”

Leon said in a serious voice.

“You should really just give up on marriage.”

“What’s with you, you bastard?”

Completely ignoring my words and addressing Lisian, that Leon Frazier punk stuck his hands in his pockets and started walking like a street thug again.

I wrinkled my nose and said.

“Brother. Why is his personality like that?”

Lisian’s ears were all red from trying to hold back his laughter.

Looking at his peaceful profile (actually too handsome), I thought Leon Frazier’s harsh words weren’t such a big deal.

“Oh right, what about Father? Didn’t he come with you?”

When the twins suddenly said they were coming, I naturally thought it was because of the seriousness of the human sacrifice incident.

I naturally assumed Father would come too to examine the traces in that problematic cave and understand the full story.

‘But only these two actually came.’

“Father also wan, wanted to come… but His Majesty the Emperor… invited him to the palace… so he cou, couldn’t come.”

“The Emperor?”

“His Majesty… did.”

Well, since Father rarely returns from the border, from the Emperor’s perspective, he’d naturally want to invite him to see his face.

It would have been awkward for Father to refuse too. After all, the monarch of a nation had sent an invitation asking him to come.

We chatted about various things as we walked toward where Leon Frazier was.

There was a comfortable seating area where the knights had set up shade.

It was also the place where I stayed all day once the white tulle seed sowing work began.

“What are you planting?”

“It’s called white tulle, a flower I discovered while digging through ancient books.”

Only I, who had been a addict player, knew how this empire, and furthermore this continent, would change once the white tulle bloomed in full.

‘First, the commoners’ clothing will change.’

More precisely, the ‘colors’ of the clothes they wear.

was a romance simulation game full of beautiful boys that exquisitely mixed real history with fantasy.

Perhaps because of this, there were parts that were particularly well-researched, and one of them was about ‘colors.’

In real history too, before synthetic dyes appeared, colors – that is, pigments – were treated as precious.

‘Like green, or purple. Various colors anyway.’

In fact, the beautiful and fresh ‘green’ was said to be more than sensational at the time.

Thousands of nobles actually died from arsenic poisoning after being enchanted by that cheerful color called green and covering everything from dresses to wallpaper in green.

To create the blue color called ‘cobalt blue,’ you had to grind up gems called lapis lazuli, and to get brown paint, you had to grind the ribs of corpses.

Purple and violet were no different.

Until synthetic dyes appeared, pigments were literally beauty that only the wealthy could possess.

But is a fantasy game!

It competes with ancient artifacts and magic, not science!

That’s why the item I created was the ‘White Tulip Seeds’.

These colorful flowers that bloomed in tulip shapes could literally produce hundreds of thousands of different colors.

‘It wasn’t for nothing that I spoke so confidently to Ramus Jeremiah.’

That I would appear as an incredibly wealthy person.

Moreover…

Various and rare colors would soon become fashionable and set new standards of beauty.

Who would covet this first?

Naturally, it would be Empress Carmi.

‘Of course, I have no intention of selling it to her obediently.’

Let’s see, shall I try playing some push-and-pull games with goods?

I giggled with delight at the pleasant thought. The development work on the granted territory was progressing well, the white tulip seeds were being planted properly.

The farmers who had often gone hungry were visibly happy to have jobs that paid fair wages.

Warm sunlight.

The twins beside me discussing how to repair and decorate the rotten castle of Belus Territory (they were such stunning beauties that just looking at them was a feast for the eyes).

Cool and sweet beverages.

Even a gentle breeze was blowing softly, making my mood absolutely perfect.

‘This is nice. Really.’

Humming happily, I also touched the weapons one by one, still unable to understand what Leon Frazier was thinking when he bought them.

Even so, perhaps following his own aesthetic sense, the weapons he brought all sparkled as if they were meant for magical girls.

Among them, I was examining a dagger with a large ruby embedded in the center that particularly caught my eye.

“Hey, I really. This won’t do.”

A breathless voice. Instantly, my spine stiffened.

“And don’t mess around with such dangerous things.”

The dagger I was holding was snatched away, and at the same time, my body was lightly lifted while I was still sitting in the rattan chair.

And in just those few days, a lean and firm body that had become absurdly familiar embraced me from behind as if to crush me.

Klaus Rosevar.

He buried his forehead against the nape of my neck and muttered.

“…I really thought I was going to die.”

He was like a beast that had barely survived after wandering through a burning forest. I could feel through our touching bodies how his irrationally pounding heart was slowly relaxing.

And I instinctively felt it.

‘Ah. I’m screwed.’

“Aha. So it was this bastard.”

Because Leon Frazier stood up with a grin that split his face.

At that moment, I realized. Leon Frazier really was blood-related family to Tulia!

That wicked smile!

That vicious look in his eyes!

“Why don’t you put my younger sibling down. You rootless bastard.”

Even that incredible way of speaking!

The problem was Klaus Rosevar.

Was it because it was male lead vs male lead?

Klaus didn’t react at all to Leon’s threat. He only tightened his arms around me.

“You guys smell similar to each other.”

Rather.

“Did you tell me to keep hiding because you didn’t want your lovers to find out about my existence?”

He only uttered words that turned not just my situation upside down, but the entire world.

“Even knowing that I go crazy when we’re apart?”

Ah.

I’m really screwed big time.
