âGeorge Stuart. William Stuart. Tell me what Emma Stuart is doing now.â
What I was casting wasnât the crude charm spell I used on other students, but the most powerful charm magic that would activate by calling the targetsâ full names while looking straight into their eyes.
My magic was usually repelled by tenacious mental strength, but even that wouldnât be an obstacle this time. Anyone who was put under this enchantment wouldnât be able to put up any resistance, no matter how strong their willpower was.
If even this charm magic got repelled, I would have Emma Stuart and these brothers of hers⊠no, House of Count Stuart and its entire clan meet their end by my hand.
End of Joannaâs POV
â!â
â!â
After receiving Joannaâs enchantment head-on, George and William averted their eyes from her reflexively.
âGeorge-sama, William-sama?! Whatâs wrong?â
Francesca noticed the twoâs abnormalities and spoke to them worriedly.
âN-No, I-Iâm alrightâŠâ
âD-D-Donâd wowwy aboud meâŠâ
Both of their faces blushed up to the tips of their ears.
âEmma is⊠staying docilely at homeâŠâ
âNee-sama⊠is shleepinâ!â
The way they answered Joannaâs query was just like how an adolescent boy behave when meeting an idol he adored.
Red face and faltering words.
Not daring to make eye contact.
âBoth of your faces are red, you know? Are you really alright?â
âTheir faces are as red as an apple. Right, Caitlyn?â
âYeah! Theyâre as red as a strawberry, Catherine!â
â âWe have never seen the two of them like this!!!â â
Marion also noticed the strange condition of George and William while the twins voiced their worries in unison.
ââŠâŠI apologize. It seems I have disturbed your valuable lunch break.â
Joanna looked at George and Williamâs state and bid her farewell with a look that clearly expressed her loss of interest.
âHrmm⊠My charm magic is working. Seems like I was just overthinking.
Also, it appeared that Emma Stuart was really sick. They couldnât lie when they were under my charm magic.
I was being a little too nervous, wasnât I⊠Well, I have wasted my effort, but now I know the Kingdom can still be put under my control in one way or another.â
Leaving the blushing brothers behind, Joanna began to lay down her plan to enchant the people at the academy for a second time with stronger charm magic using the magic stoneâs power.
â â â
âGeorge-sama, William-sama, are you really alright?â
âDo you need me to call an attendant?â
âMaybe they ate something strange, Caitlyn?â
âIâm sure they ate something strange, Catherine.â
After Joanna left, the brothers became eerily quiet and crouched on the spot slowly. Feeling flustered, Francesca, Marion, and the twins looked at their weird behavior worriedly.
âI-Iâm okay.â
âN-No need to worry.â
â âUghhhh.â â The brothers groaned in a barely audible voice. They covered their red faces with their hands and writhed.
They had somehow made a mental preparation for when this time came, but seeing a lady in her late 30s wearing a school uniform from such a point-blank range gave them much more damage than expected.
Furthermore, that lady was their own younger (older) sister. They felt like they could die from second hand embarrassment.
Unlike in their previous life, where their vision had deteriorated because of smartphones and presbyopia, their eyesight now was even better than 20/20 vision due to monster hunting training.
âUgh, thatâs so embarrassing.
Weâre cringing so hard that our whole body winces.
The sight of our sister in a school uniform is too intenseee. Sheâs forcing it too much in that lookkkk.â
George and William werenât able to stand up for a while.
