ââAnd therefore, as part of the Knight Orderâs training, His Highness Christopher has agreed to participate in the investigation of this dungeon.â\n
In front of everyone, His Highness Christopher was introduced by my father.\n
What do you mean by âthereforeâ!?!\n
My heart was filled with an uncontrollable resentment.\n
He looked a little younger than when he had condemned me in the game. His straight golden hair was longer than his collar and not yet long enough to be put into a single bun.\n\n
As I recall, His Highness Christopher had been a member of the Knight Order since he was thirteen.\n
The discovery of a new dungeon had the possibility of affecting the countryâs tourism and other businesses, and its presence might also cause demon beasts to appear or cause damage to the general population.\n
In light of this, it was not surprising that the future king, His Royal Highness Prince Christopher, came to inspect the dungeon under the guise of âtraining for the Knight Order.â In addition, this was also the territory of the current kingâs younger brother.\n
âIâm Christopher Heaven, and I will be conducting the investigation along with everyone here from today. Although I am the crown prince, this time I am participating as a trainee from the Knights Order. I am still not well-acquainted, so I would like to be treated the same as everyone else.â\n
His Highness Christopher gave a polite greeting and then bowed his head.\n
Was it really okay for royalty to bow so easily?\n
As I tilted my head in confusion, I met His Highness Christopherâs sapphire blue eyes.\n
Geh!\n
His Highness Christopher was coming towards me at a steady pace.\n
âAre youâŠLady Charlotte?â\n
Even though he was the last person I wanted to see, I couldnât just turn away when dealing with the royal family. I had to give a proper replyâŠ\n
Regardless of the situation, Charlotte was still the Dukeâs daughter.\n
âYes. It has been a long time, Your Highness Christopher.â Holding up the hem of my dress, I wore a calm expression and gave a ladylike curtsy.\n
His Highness responded with just a glance.\n
âYouâve grown up, havenât you?â He muttered sincerely.\n
Youâre just my uncleâs son!!\n
But that wasnât the pointâŠ\n
âYes. I will be thirteen soon, so itâs probably been five years since Iâve seen His Highness.â I put my hand on my cheek and smiled.\n
âCanât youâŠâ\n
ââŠYes?â\n
âCanât you call me Big Brother Chris?â\n
His eyes, like those of an abandoned puppy, were staring right at me.\n
ââŠâŠâ\n
âŠIt is true that five years ago, I think I called His Highness Christopher, who played with big brother Lucas, as âbig brother Chris.â\n
My royal cousin whom I havenât seen for five yearsâI canât just call him that so easily!\n
Moreover, because I remembered him as Izumi, I also remembered how strict the royal hierarchy truly was.\n
And above allâ!!\n
âI donât want to have any more contact with His Highness Christopher!!\n
In the event that something should happen, I donât want to be condemned for disrespect. I donât know what to doâŠ\n
While I was at a lossâ\n
âYour Highness Christopher. My sisterâŠCharlotte is feeling troubled.â\n
âMy brother came to save me.\n
Big brother!! My savior has arrived!\n
âLucas? Iâm looking forward to working with you.â\n
His Highness held out his hand to my brother. My brother shook the offered hand.\n
âYes. Thank you for your service to the Avi territory.â\n
âLucas. Stop talking so stiffly.â His Highness smiled bitterly.\n
âYour Highness is going to be my lord, though.â My brother let out a little sigh, and then,\n
ââŠYou really havenât changed at all, have you Chris?â He laughed.\n
OhâI can see the friendship between them. Theyâve always been good friends, havenât they? Although I havenât seen him in a long time, Iâm sure that he and my brother have met and talked to each other many times.\n
Okay! Iâll just take this opportunity leaveâŠ\n
With a smile on my face, I began to move away from the scene.\n
At that momentâ\n
âSo, Lady Charlotte, you really wonât call me big brother anymore?â\n
âHis Highness Christopher looked at me.\n
Attempt to escape, failed.\n

T/N: Personally, I donât see a problem with Charlotte establishing herself like the Princeâs âlittle sister.â That way she should be safer too ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ\n
