Chapter 23 22

Duke Coleson, a distant relative of the Duke of Silvie, had three boys.

The above two were very good, and they were so talented that it was better to take a trace. His parents doted on them and showed as much affection as possible.

On the other hand, the youngest son, Gilbert, was said to be the birth of his two brothers, and has been raised poorly.

His room was separated from his brothers and parents, and his parents came to see him only once a month. Although I wanted to spoil it, I tried to spoil it several times, but my mother never had a partner, and Gilbert was always in charge of care and playing with my servant.

Family, but not family.

That was Gilbert's position in the Coleson family.

When despair was beginning to be felt in such a life, the adoption story of the distantly related Sylvie family came up.

The Sylvie family now has a girl who is five years old, but apparently was in trouble because no boy was born. T r ansl a te d by Jpｍtl.c o m

It is an old practice, but basically it was decided that a man would inherit the crown. Exceptions apply in absolute cases, but in reality they were less common.

Nobles have to leave traces of responsibility. There, a white-headed arrow stood in the Coleson family with three boys.

At first it was said that the second brother would go. Hopefully the Silvi family can be traced.

However, if a boy is born to the Sylvies, their second brother may be treated to the Sylvies. The house's back was still young, and she was likely to be pregnant.

Given these concerns, Gilbert was chosen as the "child that can be treated cold."

On the day of departure, no one came to see Gilbert off.

T r a ns la t e d b y jp m t l .ｃom "Is it abandoned?"

The servant only bowed deeply to Gilbert, saying, "Please go."

The adoptive Sylvies welcomed Gilbert. It was rather welcome.

In particular, Cecilia, who became her sister-in-law, said, "I've finally got a sister and brother!"

Gilbert was welcomed like that. At first he did not like Cecilia.

I rather disliked it. I hated it.

She was doting by her parents, despite being as scarred as herself. He was loved, loved, and loved almost like drowning with affection.

"Why are they so different in the same circumstances?"

After coming to the Silvies, he was thinking all that.

One day, such a life lasted about six months, Gilbert became ill. The heat was also high, and my physical strength was exhausted so that I could not get up on my own for a while.

Originally, Gilbert is not a strong person. When I was in the Coleson family, I often broke my body. His parents didn't like Gilbert's, and his sickness was leaking to his servants, "comfortable" and "poor," in the shadows.

I have no memory to worry about.

"Guiru, are you okay?"

Since getting sick, Cecilia has visited Gilbert many times. Sometimes I changed my forehead and bought a nurse.

To be honest, Gilbert was irritated by Cecilia who came to care for him. He was awkward or sick of his hands, and he felt he was doing his own homework extension.

Tra n sl ate d b y Ｊpm t l.com Treated like a doll.

Then I stood up.

But if she tries to get her out of the room, she may lose her place in the Silvies.

Gilbert had no choice but to accept her role as a doll.

She goes to Gilbert every day without getting tired. Then sing a lullaby or read a book until you are satisfied.

And at the end it always asks, "Do you want something?"

Gilbert always shook his head.

That was the same day.

She wiped his sweat, read the book until his throat became hoarse, and then shouted, "Do you want something?"

I usually shake my head there, but Gilbert that day was a little different.

I wanted to do a little mean to this hypocritical sister-in-law.

Gilbert pointed to an illustration of a book that Cecilia had read a while ago. There is a blue rose that will grant any wish.

"I want this."

I hoped so.

Blue roses do not exist in this world. Gilbert knew it on purpose and said so.

T r a ns l at ed by Jpｍt l.ｃ oｍ I wanted to see my sister-in-law's troubled face.

However, after seeing the illustration, Cecilia groaned, "Well," and proclaimed, "I understand! I will look for it by tomorrow!"

I was surprised at this, but thought that I would not know that there were no blue roses in the world anyway, and let it go.

Sure enough, she didn't show up at the usual time the next day.

Surely my sister-in-law will be in trouble now. When I thought so, I felt very refreshed. I really thought it was a reward for treating me like a doll.

But it was also true that I felt lonely in a quieter room.

In the evening of that evening, Gilbert, asleep, wakes up with a bang.

When I got up and looked around, my sister was out of the window.

Her cheeks were dirty with mud, and she had something in her hand.

Gilbert hastily opens the window. Then a flower was presented at the tip of the nose.

"I'm sorry. There were only blue flowers!"

All she had was a blue dragon.

"It's also a medicine! It's hard to get because it's growing in the middle of the cliff."

"cliff!?"

An overturned voice came out.

Certainly, there is a cliff behind the mansion, but was she climbing there alone? T ran s l a ted b y Ｊpｍ t l .ｃ om

On closer inspection, her dress was soiled with dirt, and the hem had torn somewhere or had caught somewhere. The cheeks are abraded, the forehead may have hit somewhere, it is red.

"I got angry with my mother because I missed studying today."

Despite this, she did not smile.

Gilbert received a screaming hand with a shivering hand. "why……"

If I noticed, my voice was shaking.

I didn't know why he was trying to do this.

"Because I love Gil! I'm sad if Gil isn't fine!"

She said that with an innocent smile.

Then he strokes Gil's head with his hands full of earth.

"Well, let's play together soon!"

"Hmm……"

Eyes moistened. Tears bead and roll their cheeks.

I had never heard of myself saying I liked myself. I also knew for the first time that it was such a warm sound.

"What's wrong? Gil, are you hurt?"

She looked into her face from outside the window.

If you look closely, the honey blonde's hair, which is always neatly organized, is messed up. I guess she would have fallen several times.

Gilbert wipes his tears.

"Yeah. I also love my sister."

"I see!"

She smiled best when she met.

Then Gilbert longed for his sister-in-law.

It didn't take long to realize that it was a romantic feeling, and when I realized it, I couldn't go back anymore.

Cecilia still sees himself as a brother-in-law. I knew it, so I never gave it. But I couldn't give up, so I was steadily preparing to fill the outer moat.

If the engagement between Cecilia and the Prince is abandoned, the Sylvies' parents have given permission to propose. Although they are siblings on family register, they are not without a way to get married. I checked the method. Negotiated.

"However, what's up with that guy ..."

I don't hate Oscars. But when it came to Cecilia, the story was different.

The inside of the chest is filled with a bad feeling.

I felt a black haze rising from the palm of my hand.
