Chapter 3
<br>
By now, all the servants and maids around had left, and the door had been closed for a while.<br>
<br>
Roxiddion, who had been resting his eyes for a moment, slightly opened them and then immediately frowned.<br>
<br>
While I flinched, he spat out in a lazy, slightly annoyed tone.<br>
<br>
"Hey, come here."<br>
<br>
For some reason, my body naturally moved.<br>
<br>
It didn't seem strange. Because from my memories, Charlize also moved while grumbling.<br>
<br>
"Hey, hey hey, Yoon Jihoo! Yoon Jihoo! Big trouble! Come here quickly!"<br>
<br>
And then, as I approached Roxiddion.<br>
<br>
"Draw the curtains."<br>
<br>
"Turn off the lights."<br>
<br>
……I wondered what this sense of deja vu was!<br>
<br>
"Oh, and bring some refreshments. By yourself."<br>
<br>
"Hey hey, boil some ramen. Two servings’ worth but like three servings."<br>
<br>
……Why does my now-dead older brother Yoon Jihoon come to mind right now?<br>
<br>
No, the way he acts is practically screaming 100% synchro rate.<br>
<br>
"What are you doing? I said draw the curtains."<br>
<br>
Do all older brothers in the world act the same way towards their younger sisters?<br>
<br>
No, that can't be. There must be kind brothers, gentle brothers in the world, right?<br>
<br>
‘At least the Roxiddion I read in the book was that kind brother, though?’<br>
<br>
At least until Charlize almost fatally wounded the female lead.<br>
<br>
Feeling dumbfounded, I wiped my face, and at the same time, my mouth naturally moved on its own.<br>
<br>
"You draw them."<br>
<br>
Ah, I couldn't help it.<br>
<br>
"You?"<br>
<br>
"Yeah. Don't you have hands?"<br>
<br>
"Ha? You've grown a lot?"<br>
<br>
Charlize also seemed to rebel to some extent, so this much might be okay?<br>
<br>
It just came out because Yoon Jihoon overlapped, that's all.<br>
<br>
However, Roxiddion's expression looked as if he found it pathetic, and then he snorted.<br>
<br>
"Seeing you act rebellious again like when you were in puberty, should I fix your manners after a long time? Huh?"<br>
<br>
What is this, the male protagonist is acting like a third-rate thug?<br>
<br>
I frowned, feeling the romance of the novel I liked shatter into pieces.<br>
<br>
And this was my mistake. For a moment, my tension eased, and I underestimated the tyrant male protagonist's insanity.<br>
<br>
It was only for a single moment, but Roxiddion's eyes sank low.<br>
<br>
"Heuk, euuh... of all times. Now."<br>
<br>
At the same time, a strange golden light flickered in his red eyes.<br>
<br>
‘Wait, wait a minute... that, could it be?’<br>
<br>
In the book, the tyrant Roxiddion suffered from a strange madness.<br>
<br>
He was even more called a tyrant because he sometimes couldn't control himself and rampaged.<br>
<br>
It was my mistake to have forgotten this, even for a moment.<br>
<br>
Swoosh-. A sharp wind blew.<br>
<br>
I even forgot the timing to step back.<br>
<br>
By now, Roxiddion, with a perfectly expressionless face, was pointing a sword, this time drawn from its sheath, at me.<br>
<br>
Hup, I held my breath.<br>
<br>
Ugh, crazy, give me back my romance. Where is the handsome and kind older brother?<br>
<br>
I thought that was the advantage of opening my eyes as Charlize!<br>
<br>
The moment Roxiddion nonchalantly raised his hand, I squeezed my eyes shut and shouted.<br>
<br>
"O, oh my god! G, go away!"<br>
<br>
Bang!<br>
<br>
When I opened my eyes at the huge sound, what do you know? I saw Roxiddion sprawled on the floor, much farther away from me.<br>
<br>
He seemed to be trying to balance himself by raising his upper body immediately, as befits a supposedly excellent swordsman, but I was no longer looking at him.<br>
<br>
‘Wh, what is it. Why is my necklace like this?’<br>
<br>
Surprisingly, the necklace around my neck was glowing golden.<br>
<br>
At the same time, a memory flashed through my mind.<br>
<br>
"Our daughter, son. You siblings must get along well? Otherwise, Mommy will get angry."<br>
<br>
"Especially! Roxiddion! Take good care of your younger sister!"<br>
<br>
It was the image of Charlize's mother, the late Empress.<br>
<br>
A woman with red hair, just like her maternal grandfather, smiled brightly in the memory and said.<br>
<br>
"If your brother bullies you, call Mommy anytime. I'll scold him and make him nice."<br>
<br>
At that moment, Roxiddion slowly rose from his spot through the dusty wind.<br>
<br>
Seeing him holding a sword in one hand, I gulped nervously without realizing it.<br>
<br>
I was the one who blew my older brother away just now, right? It seems so, doesn't it?<br>
<br>
I don't know what that power was, but please save me...!<br>
<br>
I was trembling, wondering if the sword would fly again, when suddenly Roxiddion dropped his sword to the floor with a surprised expression.<br>
<br>
Clatter!<br>
<br>
At the same time, Roxiddion strode over.<br>
<br>
"Oh my, what have I done...! Are you okay, Rize?"<br>
<br>
……Pardon?<br>
<br>
"I'm sorry. I did wrong. I did something terribly wrong, didn't I!"<br>
<br>
To be honest, Roxiddion was a rather fierce and wild-looking person.<br>
<br>
That person, as if he had changed, made a sullen expression, grabbed my shoulder, and wore a worried face.<br>
<br>
It was like a tiger imitating a small cat.<br>
<br>
Hiding his giant claws and looking at me pitifully.<br>
<br>
His flustered face made my jaw drop.<br>
<br>
“……Yo, Your Majesty?”<br>
<br>
"Call me Your Majesty? We're siblings, why so distant? Come on, call me brother."<br>
<br>
“......”<br>
<br>
What is this, does the male protagonist have a split personality?<br>
<br>
Just as I was feeling confused, Roxiddion's expression distorted wildly.<br>
<br>
Then, it soon became similar to the expression he had when he first entered here.<br>
<br>
No, very soon, he wore an incredibly ferocious expression.<br>
<br>
"Hey, you XX, little sister, what did you just do?"<br>
<br>
“......”<br>
<br>
"Oh shit, my madness."<br>
<br>
I don't know what's going on either.<br>
<br>
Roxiddion glared at me, then raised his hand. Thinking he was about to hit me, I flinched and squeezed my eyes shut.<br>
<br>
"Euh, ah, oh my god!"<br>
<br>
“......”<br>
<br>
At the same time, the room fell silent again.<br>
<br>
When I open my eyes...<br>
<br>
"Huk, were you surprised? I'm sorry. I was just trying to rub your face, but..."<br>
<br>
Crazy. There was that incongruously polite brother again.<br>
<br>
……Wait, could it be.<br>
<br>
"Mommy?"<br>
<br>
“......”<br>
<br>
Could it be that whenever I shout ‘Oh my god!’, this brother switches back and forth?<br>
<br>
I have no idea why this is happening, but it seemed to be the case.<br>
<br>
"Oh shit, what is this. I feel like throwing up!"<br>
<br>
"Oh my god?"<br>
<br>
"Oh dear, I'm sorry. Rize."<br>
<br>
Watching Roxiddion's expression switch back and forth, I just stood with my mouth open.<br>
<br>
Good heavens, I just need to get my coin back, what is all this...<br>
<br>
It seemed I had encountered a bizarre situation before even meeting the all-important fiance.<br>
<br>
It felt like facing a strange add-on, a burdensome baggage, before an important task.<br>
<br>
* * *
<br>
What on earth should I do about this? I just stared blankly with my mouth open, watching Roxiddion's mood.<br>
<br>
Because for some reason, I felt that man's face was getting angrier in real-time.<br>
<br>
However, I diligently shouted ‘Oh my god!’ every time my brother reached out his hand, and he changed each time.<br>
<br>
"Hey, don't you think you're overdoing it?"<br>
<br>
"B, but brother, if you grab me, you'll hit me, right?"<br>
<br>
"What? When did I ever hit you..."<br>
<br>
"Euaahk oh my..."<br>
<br>
"Oh damn, I won't, I won't do it, okay!"<br>
<br>
In the end, Roxiddion gave up on grabbing me and wiped his own face.<br>
<br>
"Noah."<br>
<br>
At the same time Roxiddion murmured, the space behind him tore open as if slit by a knife.<br>
<br>
Amazingly, someone popped out from a black space like a black hole.<br>
<br>
"Oh my goodness."<br>
<br>
It was an incredibly handsome man with a slightly sweaty forehead.<br>
<br>
He glanced at the room once, then frowned as if he had been waiting.<br>
<br>
“……Have you finally resorted to beating your only blood relative due to your madness? Immoral…”<br>
<br>
"Shut up."<br>
<br>
He was a man with handsome, delicate features.<br>
<br>
I knew immediately from his hair, as blue as if a piece of the sea had been brought over, his elegant chin line, and his slowly opening gray eyes.<br>
<br>
Noah.<br>
<br>
He is a sub-male protagonist.<br>
<br>
"What is the meaning of this, even though I was slightly delayed?"<br>
<br>
Compared to Roxiddion, he had a gentler feel.<br>
<br>
His expressionless face was so delicately beautiful, one might mistake him for a woman, yet it also felt cool and chilly.<br>
<br>
His ashen, fine gray eyes briefly turned towards me, then quickly returned to Roxiddion.<br>
<br>
"You said you would handle it well!"<br>
<br>
"You must cherish the only imperial bloodline besides Your Majesty in the empire. You know very well what would happen if even one of the imperial bloodlines disappeared in the current situation."<br>
<br>
Full name Noah Chendice.<br>
<br>
A sub-male protagonist, the Emperor's aide-de-camp and guardian knight.<br>
<br>
And I knew another role he played.<br>
<br>
Since he's a person involved in a big twist in the book, I thought it would be more time before I met him, but...<br>
<br>
"Weren't you supposed to go to welcome the Duchess back after a long time and talk about her fiance? Why is the floor broken and why is the sword drawn, Your Majesty."<br>
<br>
"Oh, just shut up."<br>
<br>
Roxiddion lightly covered his ears, then removed his hands and brushed his hair back.<br>
<br>
"Anyway, my madness has subsided."<br>
<br>
"Yes? Is that important right now... Oh, that is a very important point."<br>
<br>
Noah stared at me with a very serious expression.<br>
<br>
"Ha, I see. So the key was the Duchess..."
