Robson Fou Ethan.
He is a man born with everything.
He was born into a prestigious Count family, and also had a talent for sword and magic. He was not only a military man, but also showed great talent in writing.
Ethan, who grew up with no such flaws and was hailed as a genius by those around him, had an older brother who was nothing like him.
Compared to Ethan, he is a man of no talent, is foolish, and has a nasty personality.
Envious of his talented younger brother, he planned to assassinate him, he was worried about his status as heir of the family.
However, the lack of talent is shown here as well.
His brother is disinherited by his parents because of an act that is too poor to be called an assassination.
They said he was being pushed into the remote countryside, but Ethan didn’t know the details either.
Is he alive or dead?
His parents feared that his foolish older brother would run the family into the ground, so they took advantage of the situation and made Ethan their heir.
Thus, Ethan became an heir to the Robson family.
“Yes, that means I’m the perfect guy who has it all.”
――The man who talked about his bragging so far with a little sadness was Ethan.
He sat down next to Aare, who was sitting on a bench in the school’s courtyard, and suddenly started talking about his upbringing and bragging.
Aare is also puzzled by the bragging.
“I-I see. That was tough.”
Aare had a small, lovely, homemade lunch box spread out on her lap.
When she was spending her lunch hour alone, Ethan suddenly sat down next to her.
Even though she did not listen to it, he began to tell her about his upbringing.
Ethan glances at the lunch box, and Aare offers him a side dish.
“Here”
“Oops, excuse me. It looked so delicious that it caught my eye. I was hoping to fix my gaze on a beautiful woman like you, but what sinful food.”
Ethan grabs the omelet and eats it, chewing and swallowing it before smiling at Aare.
“I’m sure you will be a wonderful wife. By the way, I have an empty spot next to me for you. You can always next――”
With both hands held, Aare realizes what Ethan wants to do.
――Ah, I’m being picked up now, she thought.
“Ano, I’m glad to hear that but I”
As she tries to decline the offer in a reserved manner, there is one man who approaches them.
It was an angry Jake.
“What are you doing there!”
Seeing Jake approaching with a raised voice, Aare hurriedly shook off Ethan’s hand.
“Your Highness Jake?! T-This is”
Jake looked at the bewildered Aare, then immediately glared at Ethan.
“Aare is troubled. Get out of there, Ethan.”
Jake seems to know Ethan, as they are also first-year students.
It is the same for Ethan.
However, it appears that both sides do not have a good relationship.
Ethan, with a fearless smile on his face, provokes Jake.
“Well, well. Isn’t it His Royal Highness Jake who cannot be the crown prince? According to what I heard, you couldn’t persuade Duke Bartfalt? Is the Duke backing the disinherited Prince Julius?”
Ethan’s blatant provocation to Jake, who was aiming for the throne, told Ethan’s position.
As a nobleman, Ethan’s Robson family likely isn’t backing Jake.
But Jake doesn’t step back.
“I was impressed with you for pushing your brother aside and sitting as his heir, but apparently I overestimated you. You’re just a kid who wants what others have.” Ethan, who was called a kid, raises his eyebrows with a smile on his face.
Although he is trying his best to show his composure, he must be quite angry.
“I would say. Speaking of which, where is your guardian Oskar? He has to take care of His Highness, but I can’t seem to see him.”
While bringing up the topic of Oskar, ‘even though you are just a kid who can’t do anything without a guardian!’ A roundabout message that he said.
However, Jake touched his face with his right hand and made an indescribable expression.
“――Oskar is at the woman’s place.”
“Oskar, who can do nothing but work on his body, is with a woman? People grow up, don’t they? Your Highness could learn from him”
Jake responds to Ethan, who is undermining him, weakly.
“You’re right. ――Aare, come with me.”
Jake takes Aare’s hand as he puts away her lunch box and leaves Ethan.
Seeing them together, Ethan does not seem to be angry.
He just looked coldly at Jake’s back.
“――I will only let you have her for now, Your Highness. I hope you will make happy memories with her.”
Ethan knew what was about to happen to Jake.
There is no need to imagine the fate of the prince of a dying country.
Out of pity, Ethan watched Jake take Aare away.
