Chapter 43

He hates to admit it, but his sister really did take after their mother.
He forgets it instantly because she’s the exact opposite of her, who had a calm and peaceful atmosphere, like a deep lake.

“… Is something wrong?”

Belreck, who was mesmerized for a moment because Deborah looked exceptionally similar to their mother today, soon came to his senses and asked with a sharp voice.

“Since we are brother and sister, we can see each other out of work.”

Seeing Deborah speaking in a relaxed tone, Belreck snorted lightly.

“We don’t have a close brother and sister relationship. Don’t beat around the bush; if you want to brag, just do it. Don’t you have a lot to say to me, who has always been ignoring you, about this improvement formula?”
“Hm? Speaking like that, I suddenly feel like I must brag about something. However, I’m here to get an apology.”

Looking down at the red eyes that looked up at him clearly, Belreck crossed his arms.

“An apology? Why do I have to do that?”
“You have been going too far with your words every time we meet. You said I was stupid and threatened to introduce a man without saying anything or asking my opinion.”

Belreck narrowed his eyes as he watched Deborah point out his mistakes one by one.

‘It’s clear that your speaking skills have improved. In the past, you used to only scream loudly and take it out on those below you, and your words had no logic.’

So, even though it was absurd, he did not stop her and listened to her quietly.

“Also, Brother’s vassal was rude and uttered nonsensical remarks to me. No matter how much you usually ignore me, a mere vassal dared argue with me, who is a princess. I want an apology for this as well.”
“Why would I? Right now, I’m in a position where I can oppress you.”

Belreck, who was slightly twisting his thin lips, quickly moved closer to Deborah, who was clenching her fists.

“That’s why you should have behaved foolishly in moderation. Look back a little at your previous behavior. There’s no way I can ignore that.”
“Anyway, I have no intention of apologizing at all.”

Lightly clicking her tongue, Deborah pulled out something from her shawl.

“What is this?”
“Look.”

Belreck’s eyes widened as he received the envelope she held out and checked the contents.

Watching Belreck’s arrogant expression gradually turn white, I felt the urge to pop some popcorn.

As expected, for a rude bastard like him, smacking is the best medicine. You have to hit him so that he will listen. He’s not even a brat.

“Is this… True?”

As soon as Belreck saw the data about Louis Gargell that I took out, he immediately inquired whether it was true or not, as if he had a hunch that he had failed.

“You didn’t know? What do I do, if you have less intelligence power than me, who doesn’t even have a proper vassal?”

A blatant embarrassment and frustration were visible on Belreck’s sharp eyes.

“You made the mistake of revealing your intentions and objective to me first. It gave me time to look into the other person.”
“…”
“If you don’t believe the data, I’ll call a witness. Catherine Bay. A young lady who ran away to another estate’s monastery because of Louis Gargell’s sexual advances. She promised to come to the capital and testify if I want her to.”
“T-There’s no way, I also did a background check on him, and in Rosad’s investigation…”
