“The time has come to settle the bill for the luck of love carried over from a previous life.”

In his previous life, Rolando was a director of a company, but he had never married or even had a girlfriend. It was not that he was unattractive, but his destiny had forced him to suppress his luck in love, which prevented him from achieving romantic fulfillment.

However, now that he had been reincarnated, his luck in love was freed from its shackles, and it began to move with vigilant vigilance to clear the bill that had accumulated from his previous life.

~ Lauren’s POV ~

—The time was two weeks after Roland was awarded the Mithril First Class Medal.

“W-w-w-what did you say!? You met Roland-sama? Where did you meet him? Please tell me!”

“C-calm down…my daughter. And will you please take your hands off me since it’s painful?”

When I heard about Father’s return from the Royal Capital, I couldn’t help but tighten up Father’s collar. Perhaps it was because I have been focusing on swordsmanship and martial arts recently, but it was difficult for me to adjust my strength.

I was hoping to become a woman worthy of Master Roland, so I had begun to learn not only the etiquette of a lady but also military tactics and household chores. But, after all, being the daughter of a military noble, it feels good to move my body.

“Really, when it comes to Roland, you lost your senses…”

“What did you say, Father?”

“No, nothing, you heard wrong. (On top of that, I’m always hearing and remembering things related to Roland. This really means I’m going to have to get that Roland guy as my son-in-law…)”

Perhaps tired from the trip back from the royal capital, Father answered my question with his brow furrowed. I hope he could take a good rest today.

Well, I heard from my father that Roland-sama was awarded the Mithril First Class Medal for his achievements in fighting off the demons that attacked the city as an adventurer. As I expected of my future husband. Just thinking about him made my heart beat faster and it was hard to breathe. However, it felt so comfortable. It was a strange feeling, painful and yet comfortable.

“Roland-sama, please wait for me. I, Lauren, will surely become a woman worthy of you.”

Having said that, I was still doing my daily tutoring today in order to educate my scapegoat…or rather, my sister who was going to be married into the Malbert family in my place.

All of this was done for the sake of the Byreus family, to prepare me to face Master Roland as a son-in-law. I was willing to go to any lengths in order to be married to him. No matter what means I had to use, as long as I could get him.

~ Laura’s POV ~

“Haa…”

I couldn’t help but let out a sigh of admiration at the profile of the gentleman in front of me. The only gentleman in the world that I love…Who is he? Of course, it was my elder brother Roland.

With his lustrous golden hair and beautiful emerald-green eyes, he had the appearance of a beautiful work of art. What was wonderful about my elder brother was that he did not let his beautiful appearance get in the way of his kindness toward us siblings and that he also possessed an inner beauty.

At one time, he was involved in bad pranks in the name of being the son of a bad-behaved lord for his own purposes, but all of this was done because he wanted to be free, and he was a very kind man in his own right.

(Aah, elder brother Roland. Why am I your sister? If I wasn’t your sister, but a stranger without blood, I would have no qualms about marrying you…)

I tried to call out such a thing in my mind to my serious brother who was concentrating on his magic to cure Father’s disease, but of course, there was no response from him.

Aah…elder brother. Looking at my elder brother’s serious profile, I felt my heart getting hotter. Come to think of it, I kind of felt like my lower body was getting hot too.

My family, servants, and others around me have been telling me for years that I should not fall in love with my brother because siblings could not marry, but they were mistaken if they thought such a thing could extinguish the flame of this love of mine.

Besides, did they not know? I knew that in the past there were precedents of noble families who married their siblings or sisters. Those noble families still existed and still rule their lands as members of the nobility, though not in the most glorious of times.

If that’s the case, don’t you think it would be no problem if I were to be united with my elder brother? Don’t you think so…? Say you think so!!

I was getting off track here, but anyway, in order to become my elder brother’s wife, I was studying various things in order to become a respectable lady. I was studying etiquette and the education required of nobles, as well as the knowledge of conjugal relations for when I become the wife of my elder brother…

That being said, there was no way that other women would leave my brother, who was such a wonderful man, alone. In fact, I had heard rumors that Lauren of the Byreus family had noticed my brother’s charms, and she had been working hard to improve herself.

If I was careless about this, I might have had my brother stolen by someone else. For that reason, I must work hard and devote myself to it. Aah, even so, my brother who was treating Father with a serious face was…wonderful. Please wait and see. I would surely become a woman worthy of you one day!
