Chapter 37: Shambles

Although additional chairs were quickly prepared in the salon, it was indeed impossible for everyone to sit at the same table. Therefore, me, Rosalia, and brother Cain moved to another sofa seat.

No, in this case, it might be better to say that we evacuated. Probably, they had come to the territory  because of brother Alex. Alex-oniisama should take responsibility. We are innocent. I feel sorry for Miss Carolina who got involved, but she will probably come here sooner or later.

“I’m Daniela Crystal. This is my sister Chloe. Please take care of me and my sister.”

“ I’m Chloe. Nice to meet you!”

Chloe answered cheerfully. I got the impression that Daniela is a graceful girl and Chloe was a mischievous girl. Probably right.

After they had greeted each other and taken their seats, Miss Chloe immediately noticed them.

“Oh, they all have cute stuffed animals!　Sister, I’ve never seen those stuffed animals before.”

“Oh, it’s true. It’s the first time I’ve seen it.. And it is very well made. Which workshop is it from?”

Once again, the stuffed animals are attracting attention. It’s a true girl magnet. I’ll have to warn Rosalia not to carry stuffed animals with her when she goes out from now on. If they give me any more work, I won’t have time to make magic potions.

“This wasn’t made in the workshop, it was made by my brother Julius.”

And then, Brother Alex, who is quick to expose me. Well, it is not hard to understand that the to highest authority he cannot lie or cheat, but he could at least try a little harder. At least talk to them when I’m not around.

I might end up making stuffed animals again.

While I was breaking into a cold sweat from her gaze, She and Miss Chloe came over to me.

“You’re amazing, aren’t you? That stuffed animal is very nice. I was wondering if you could make one for me?”

She leaned forward on the table, looking up at me and asking me to make her one. Damn, she’s cute.

“That’s fine, but what kind of stuffed animal would you like ……?”

As you can imagine, I can’t afford to be rude to the highest authority. In other words, I have no choice but to accept the request.

“Anything? A cat, I want a kitty!”

“I understand. I will make you a stuffed cat.”

Miss Chloe nodded in satisfaction. Behind her, miss Daniela is looking at me with eyes that seem to want one too. I looked over to Alex and he seemed to sense it.

“Would you like to join us, Miss Daniela?　As you can see, it has become a tradition in our family to give stuffed animals as gifts.”

“Oh, really?　If so, I’d like a stuffed cat, too. ……”

“I understand. Julius, will you take care of it?”

“Yes.”

I wondered when such a custom came into our family, but it is true that I give a stuffed animal to every girl with whom I have gotten involved with. When did this happen?

Then Miss Chloe sat down on the sofa at our table. Maybe she read the atmosphere over there.

If this continues, Miss Carolina will be in danger. Thinking so, I asked her, “Would you like to join us, Miss Carolina?” I asked her to join me. Perhaps she was waiting for the right moment, but soon after, Miss Carolina arrived here. Her face was somewhat relieved.

“Brother Cain, is everything all right at that table over there?”

“It doesn’t look too okay, but I think it’s best not to get too involved.”

“I agree.”

“I’ve never seen my sister smile like that before.”

Miss Chloe is trembling slightly. What kind of smile did she see? I am afraid to ask.  Miss Carolina’s face is tense when she heard that. I Wonder if she saw it?　It seems that Miss Daniela and Miss Hilda consider each other as rivals.

Otherwise, Miss Daniela would not have bothered to visit when Miss Hilda was here. I can only think that this good timing was aimed. No matter how much she hides her identity, there should have at least been a warning when the royal family was coming.

“Chloe-sama, had you been planning your visit to the Margrave Heine family for some time?”

“No, it was suddenly decided this morning. We said that we would go and greet our friends. The servants in the villa were in a panic. Julius-sama, you may call me Chloe.”

“Ha-ha-ha. Then you may call me Julius as well.”

“Yes, I will. Julius.”

What is this feeling? Maybe hitting me with Miss Chloe was part of Miss Daniela’s strategy? 　And how is it that she forgives me, but not Brother Cain in particular? I think Brother Cain should cry.

Brother Cain, on the other hand, looked relieved for some reason. Does he think he got away with it?　I think that’s probably the right idea. This is a pattern I’m totally caught up in.

“ Julius-sama, ……”

“What is it, Miss Carolina?”

I already have a bad feeling about this. Rosalia, who’s sitting next to me, holds my left arm tightly. Stop it. I only have one body.

“Um, could you please call me Caro?　You see, Carolina is a long name, and it’s hard to call it, isn’t it?”

“ okay. Caro, …… sama?　You can call me Julius as well.”

“You don’t have to use the “sama” Julius ……?”

What is this feeling? I’m feeling sick for some reason. And my left arm is tightening up.

I thought the table with brother  Alex was going to be in shambles, but before I knew it, this table was also in shambles too. I don’t know what I’m talking about, but I feel like I’ve realized how scary women are.
