First Of All, Lets Hide My Younger Brother

Chapter 34

For lunch we were served roast piglets, turkey and deer. My father made the chef
do a great job, since my friends were visiting us.

"Kayla surprised me when she said that she was going to the Kratie Boarding Academy," - the father shared his memories. I was tormented by a vague anxiety that he would say something superfluous, and for good reason - "I
often worried that she was constantly at home, did not make friends, did nothing
after the coming-of-age ceremony, did not go out into society."

Oh, father, why are you even talking about this ?! Also with friends!

"And suddenly she herself decided to enter the academy and already there, again herself, made friends. I can't
believe that this is my Kayla, I worry about her all the time.

Well, why can't you sink into the ground at will? I really wanted it now.

“There is no cause for concern, Your Excellency. Kayla is doing well."

Good Filia protects me. Thank you,

"friend. So it is: Kayla was invited to the women's living room by Lady Leodora herself and took first place in the vote."

I hurried to change the subject of the conversation when my father laughed
contentedly at the girl's words:

"Father, the house in Hwando has few rooms, so Filia, Iris and I will be living in my room."

"Is your room too small? You can take the largest room in the house."

"Truth? Thank you father!"

The main estate of the West family had many rooms, but the houses in Hwando, due to the high cost of land, were not
initially spacious. Fortunately, Vesta was able to buy a small villa in Hwando near Berg Station, like several other families. In order to build a large mansion on the territory of Hwando, you need to have a decent amount of money. Only members of the imperial family, Count Schreman or Duke Demiroff, could afford such a thing.

Nobles always spend a lot of money, especially during the high season: when there are a lot of parties, they throw away more than half of their annual budget. I thought it was better to have an average level of social status, but my
parents from this year planned to enter the high society of Hwando.

"I always wanted to build a huge mansion on the territory of Hwando. Then you will feel more comfortable. In addition, it is faster and easier to join the knights from Hwando than from the West
estate, and this is beneficial from a social point of view.
If I were a Marquis, the first thing I would do would be to sell the house in Hwando.
It would be better not to approach the imperial palace and not think of the villa
in Hwando as a permanent residence. In the not too distant future, Hwando will
become dangerous. Asta will take over the imperial palace with his wizard followers. Many knights will be killed by
magicians while protecting the emperor, empress and princes. Everyone who opposed Astaire will also be destroyed. Moreover, he will destroy the entire West
family in order to deprive Franz of his home and protection. If the story
develops according to the original, then all this will happen in two years. That is
why it does not matter whether Astaire and Franz meet in the future: the bloody
wind that Astaire carries with him is inevitable.

Therefore, I must be ready to protect my brother, myself and my family in this carnage. Again, the best way is to keep
Franz out of sight while helping him become Master Shitsuro. A magical shield with absolute defensive power that can stop any attack.

If Franz becomes Master Shitsuro, he will live quieter than water below the grass, without Aster's eyes.

"Kayla, don't you like lunch?" - Mom asked anxiously

"No, mom, everything is very tasty."

"You suddenly darkened, I became worried."

"I was thinking about where to go with my friends."

"Tell me later how you decide."

I nodded with a smile, slowly looking around. My parents, Franz, Filia, Iris and Marianne enjoyed dinner. The atmosphere at the table was quite warm. It was nice to be surrounded by family and friends, but somehow I felt
superfluous. It seemed to me that my.whole body was floating on water. Whenever this happened, another consciousness that slept inside me spoke to me:

"You don't need to think about Asta every second, do you? Enjoy the happiness of this moment, everything is in order. You went through a lot in your past life."

So you deserve to be happy enough in this life. A harmonious family, a rich life - everything that I have long dreamed of since my previous life. A world where i don't have to work and worry about money with my parents who protect me.

Everything was perfect, but my brother was not here. Not Franz West, but my
real brother.

I wanted you to live in such conditions ...

***

In my past life, my brother was over 10 years old. Due to the death of my parents who died in the accident, my
younger brother was a child for me. We had to move from one relative to another many times so that at least someone
could take care of us for some time.

The day we boarded the train, I felt anxious about my younger brother, who had to transfer again. The brother said, holding my hand tightly:

"I want to stay here and not be transferred to a new school."

"Because this time you don't want to part with your friends? The younger brother nodded. He was so shy that he had a hard time making friends. Those who appeared here became especially close to their brother. He was very sorry to part with his friends.
But we could not stay here any longer. My uncle said that his aunt's health had deteriorated, so he didn't have time to take care of us."

"I realized. A little patience.
I was thinking of dropping out of college and taking two part-time jobs. If I get a job in a small company, I was thinking of studying at the Korea Communications
University. To do this, I also needed an adult who would take care of my younger
brother, because he should not be left unattended for too long."

"Sister, I'll be fine in the orphanage."

"No, I will never send you there."

"I have to go to the orphanage to make my sister feel comfortable."

"Where did you get such thoughts?" uncle said.

Relatives several times advised me to send my younger brother to an orphanage. And when I get settled, take it back. Even if I manage to get a job in college, it will be very difficult for my little brother. But I couldn't, I just couldn't keep my only blood away from me. So I lived with my younger brother, even if it was
too hard at times.

I need adult help while I was out of work, even if I have to move in with relatives. So we moved to a place where we had a relative to take care of my younger brother while I was away. But I didn't take into account that these frequent moves are bad for the emotional development of the child. Without home, friends, my brother's heart was restless and always anxious. He didn't learn to
get along with children his age. I thought that he was just very shy, but then I still did not understand the whole
seriousness.

All my thoughts were borrowing money and the house in which we would settle. Apart from that, there was nothing I could do.
