《AAAAAAAH!!!》

The scream frightened everyone present and you suddenly turned in the direction of Brûlée.

You stood with the spoon in your mouth. She could be really unlovable when she screamed like that...

In front of a colorful cup of ice cream, you were enjoying that sunny afternoon in complete tranquility with your younger sisters-in-law...or rather, it was like that until you heard her scream at the top of the lungs.

《Damn it Brûlée-san, what's wrong with you?!》  One of them, Charlotte Joconde, grumbled; even though she was tiny, she could be really threatening and didn't hesitate to talk to her older sister with such a tone.

《True, do you know what time it is? If Mama wakes up, we're all finished...》  Myukuru sighed; now she had a moment of peace, she absolutely didn't want to apologize for interrupting her mother's nap.

《Shut up now, what I'm about to tell you is going to be much more shocking than that!!》  Brûlée interrupted the discontents as you looked at her questioningly. In fact, she was so agitated that she could barely control the breathing.

《Tell us what it is.》  You concluded by retrieving the spoon between your fingers.

《...》

《H-he will become the next Emperor!!》  She suddenly blurted out.

You and the girls remained silent. At this rate, that delicious ice cream would eventually melt.

《Mmm, can you explain it better?》  Pudding raised an eyebrow, but unlike the others she seemed quite interested in the subject.

《Are you all deaf?? Of course I'm talking about big bro!!》

There was only one brother to whom Brûlée addressed in that way. This time, the reaction of all of you was only one of dismay when you realized it was your husband.

《W-who told you such a thing? Are you really sure?》  The brunette girl next to you didn't believe so much in her sister's revelation.

《At 100%! Either way, it won't take long for Mama to confirm personally.》  Brûlée explained  《And I overheard a secret conversation...I have no doubt it's true!》

You were the only one who blinked when she said that. What secret conversation? Was Katakuri there too? If so, there was nothing to do but wait.

Some thoughts flew over your mind. Big Mom didn't seem like the kind of woman to give up her position so easily, but it was also true that she needed an heir and that of all her sons and daughters Charlotte Katakuri was the best choice.

And what happened to Big Mom? You doubted that she would be left without any power...

《Oh, but if so then Y/n will become an empress!》  Pudding's eyes sparkled at the idea of ​​an imperial rank.  《Are you not happy?》

《Uhm I don't mind, but don't you think you're a bit too hasty? It's not yet an official thing, after all...》  You said with an uncertain look. The girls looked at you without saying anything, until Brûlée spoke again.

《But if onii-chan becomes emperor, your baby will inherit it all!!》

Another deep silence filled the room, but with something different; some faces seemed somewhat surprised by the older sister's statement, although it was just a possibility.
