Because I was irritated after meeting big brother, for three days I wrote a R18+ doujin novel titled [Thief X Big Brother]. I donāt have any regrets. I wrote it in Japanese anyway so even if someone found it they canāt read it.
Which reminds me, it will be new years in two weeks, I guess father will come home soon.
In this Kingdom 1 week is 6 days, 1 month is 30 days, 1 year is 12 months and the new year party is usually held in the first week of the 12th month. The Academy has a long holiday period after new year party. The 1st month in the new year will be used to spend time together with family, and in the 2nd and 3rd months it will be the season where the Upper Class nobles spend time at their mansions in the Royal Capital. Because the academyās new term starts in the 5th month it will be a long holiday for 5 months. The holiday is too long(LOL).
By the way this Kingdom doesnāt have four seasons, it just changes between spring and winter every 6 months.
The next day, father and mother return from their inspection of the territory. After we finished our greetings we go and have dinner together, I was told to go to the reception room after dinner. Itās probably about the Convictionās Event. Big brotherās gaze was hurt.
By the way whenever we passed by each other in the corridor he would spew sarcastic words at me. He has always been like that since a long time ago, perhaps it is his Passive Skill, I guess. Seems like I can finish volume 2 of the doujin soon. Gufufu~
After dinner, I head to the reception room as I was told. When I received permission to enter, I saw my parents and big brother were sitting on the sofa.
āExcuse meā
āSaa Emil, take a sit. Please prepare some tea.ā
After mother invites me to sit on the sofa in front of her, she orders the maid to prepare a cup of tea for me.
āEveryone has heard about what happened at the academy.ā
ā I am very sorry for all the trouble I have caused you, father.ā
āLetās leave that for now, letās talk about what will be happen from now on.ā
āWhat will be happen from now onā¦.?ā
Father was looking at me with a sharp glint in his eye. Isnāt that āa look that can kill peopleā thing!? It is scary even though heās my father!!
āThere is a marriage proposal from the Grouge Knight Duke house for you.ā
āGe!ā¦ā
My face immediately cramps up. Is that it!? That foreshadowing was for this!? What a day!!
My familyās peerage is Count, while they are a Knight Duke. Though not a pure noble they have a higher position as an aristocrat, and it seems like their ancestors have royal blood flowing in their veins too, they must have been bestowed territory after having some great achievements.
āThough we donāt have a reason to reject it, I decide to put it on hold for the time being.ā
āI understand. I will leave it to your judgment, father.ā
āThatās all. You may leave.ā
āYes, excuse me.ā
When I return to my bedroom, āDonāt, joke with meeeeeeee!!!!ā I push a pillow to my face and yell with everything Iāve got.
āIt must be that right? He told his family that he injured a woman, and was told āJust what are you doing to hurt an innocent woman like that! As a man take responsibility!!ā he was told like that right!? At that time when he apologized to me he was so hateful about it too. You see, I too think that a political marriage is a thing that canāt be helped. Ee, that is a thing that canāt be helped. But, the Favorable points are in minus you know? Please, at least make it zero from the start.
ā¦. And moreover, isnāt that guy in love with Bitch-chanā¦?ā
I didnāt tell anyone about this, I just talked to myself while burying my face in my pillow. Ahh~ I want to cry. What made me want to cry you ask? A boy is giving up a girl he loves, and it was decided he will be married to a girl that he hates. I just feel pity for him that almost turned me into an oba-chan, as an ex-Japanese. I want to quickly cancel the engagement if I can. My injury has already healed anyway, but I have to make both parties agree to cancel the engagement! Apart from my side, their side doesnāt seem to get any benefits from the engagement.
I somehow calm down a little after talking to myself for a while and then I heard a knocking sound, Cecillia enter the room when I gave her permission.
āEmil-sama, are you okay? I heard a loud voice from outside.ā
āE, Ee. I just lost my composure a littleā¦. thereās no problem.ā
āPlease donāt push yourself so hard. If there is something I can help you with, please ask me anything.ā
āā¦.!ā
I start wailing and hug Cecillia. I just donāt know what to do anymore because so much stress has accumulated. Cecillia is seriously an angel. Her chest was so soft, guhehe~
After crying for awhile, my tears dry and I fall asleep.
The next day when I woke up my eyes were swollen, because I donāt want to see my family with swollen eyes I told someone to guard my room. With this I can train my magic secretly too, itās killing two bird with one stone. I was a hikikomori anyway.
From morning until evening I tried various types of magic inside my room, from flying magic <Fly>, teleportation magic <Warp>, to an everyday life magic, I can use them all. Incidentally I can use magic canceller too, for example when I use <Tornado> I am also able to erase it.
In this world, there are elements of fantasy like monsters and dungeons that also exist. Thereās a legend about a Hero, so there should be Demon race too. However, monsters are not encountered around the Kingdom, not inside the forests, valleys, and any other areas. There have been no encounters with Demon race either. The encounter ratio of Demi-humans is so low that it was like encountering a foreigner in Japan during the 80s, which means that this is a human dominant region.
An occupation that Iāve always dreamed of having, being and Adventurer and going around the Kingdom, is already outdated. Joining the Mercenary Guild is whatās popular in the Kingdom these days. People in the Royal Capital prefer personal battles (pvp) more than monster subjugation. If I had to say it, a war will occur too.
After all the trouble I went through to train my magic, I canāt become an Adventurer and make a living. I am an aristocrat so I donāt need to worry about my living, but I still want to live as an Adventurer like how I have always dreamed.
For the time being letās continue to practice magic, make items and sword training, noā¦. blunt weapon training during this holiday period and aim to become an Adventurer!
Everyday I stay inside my room to practice magic, make items and train in blunt weapon over and over again. When the new year is just three days away my second eldest brother Aslein-niisama returns home.
