"Younger brother?"
Theor raised his head and blinked at the unexpected word.
Red eyes filled with curiosity.
The duke smiled softly and began to convince Theor.
"Our prince, aren't you lonely because you're alone every day?"
"I am not alone. I have Levin and Blynn."
"......Blini? What's that? Pancakes?"
[T/N: There is a pancake from Russia called Blini]"Puppy."
Theor pointed to the golden hound lying quietly on his stomach next to the table.
"But isn't it boring because dolls and dogs can't talk? When you have a younger brother, you will play with him every day, talk about interesting things, study together, and have a lot of fun."
Theor listened intently to that sweet voice.
"Don't talk nonsense."
But the duke's words were cut off.
The Marquis of Carlenberg, who was holding Theor, warned the duke threateningly.
"You're talking nonsense in front of the little prince. If that's all you have to say, just go back."
The marquis looked at him with contempt.
He looked like he was looking at garbage.
But since there was a young Theor, he held back his anger.
Theor suddenly spoke up.
"I don't like a younger brother."
"What?"
"I don't like a younger brother. I don't need a younger brother."
Theor recalled what had happened several months ago.
Before he met His Majesty the Emperor, he lived in a small mansion in the countryside.
There was also a village where other people lived near the mansion. It was a small town, but there were children the age of Theor nearby.
Theor would occasionally hang out with the children who came to play near the mansion.
Among them, there were many children who played with their younger brothers.
Theor, who has no brother, learned the concept of a younger brother for the first time as he watched the siblings holding hands and hanging out.
He begged his mother that day that he wanted a younger brother.
Aunt Gretel was also at the mansion at the time.
Gretel grabbed Theor and explained step by step.
"Brothers don't just appear out of nowhere. To make a younger brother, your mom could be very sick and be in danger."
His grandfather, who later heard the situation, also agreed with her.
Neither of them explained why his mother could be sick.
But Theor was afraid to hear that and gave up immediately.
I don't like it when my mom is sick. I don't need a younger brother.
I don't want my mom to be sick and be in danger.
Because I like my mom the most.
The duke muttered in disbelief as he listened to the story.
"......why did adults say useless things to a child."
"What you're saying is worse."
The marquis patted Theor in his arms and put him down on the floor.
