He’s My Real Brother, Duke Chapter 5 - He’s My Real Brother, Duke

Chapter 5 : He’s My Real Brother, Duke

When I was embarrassed, he smoothly changed the topic, removing the bloody look.

“No. Now tell about Astel’s request.”

I hurriedly blinked, turning away from sweat on the palms I held with him.

“Yes, as an imprint! I have a small, very, very small request!”

The Duke looked at with his chin pecked at my words, emphasizing that it was a “small” request.

And, as if he was waiting, he replied with a little bitter glance.

“Gladly.”

Contrary to the facial expression, the voice oozes tenderness.

However, there was one misunderstanding of Duke Anais.

To ordinary humans, his expressionlessness was more bloody and fearful than anything else.

When he, a beast of beast, approaches as if he is a small man and tilts his head… I have no choice but to slump.

‘The basis of the negotiations is the deploynt, but it is dood.’

I glanced back up and saw Duke Anais.

The Duke of Anais was famous for various rumors.

The anecdote of tearing humans alive or being powerful enough to throw a giant monster with one hand was a story that everyone in the empire who is growing up these days knows.

My eyes and mouth opened.

“Even if the imprinting is over, don’t kill , please!”

“Whatever you want.”

Unexpectedly, our words burst out at the sa ti.

“D-Duke? What did you say?”

I did not hear the Duke’s words properly, only focusing on my words.

But he stared at with no answer, pulling his mouth at an angle.

Is that the twisted face that was described in the original, when you kill a monster?

He gave strength to the hand holding .

“Do you think I will kill you?”

It was strangely hard, but it didn’t hurt.

I rolled my eyes all over the place and held my breath.

“—Well, you probably won’t. I believe you will not harm . It’s because you don’t know what will happen to the world.”

Unlike my trembling figure, the man in front of stared at with a perfect and elegant look without any distraction.

Certainly, among the nobles, the description of being an elegant noble man was not a waste.

“I won’t kill you.”

He spoke in a resolute and cold tone. But that wasn’t enough.

I stared at the Duke, and after a few seconds he replied with a frown.

It was rare for him to reveal his feelings.

“Good. You’ll need a contract ‘not to kill’.”

“After all, the Duke is really cool!”

After hearing the belated flattery, Duke Anais slowly removed his hand from my hand.

I ca back with a blank expression, but the way he took his hand was smooth.

“With Astel, I will have a lot of work to care about now.”

“–Well…”

I rolled my eyes around.

“I will actively and cooperate as much as possible.”

“Actively?”

“Yes! It was said that the imprint is stable only when you beco intimate… We can set a ti to et every day!”

The Duke nodded slowly and answered.

“It would be better to have dinner together.”

I was worried that we had to eat together every day and that the food would go over without a problem, but it was a good thing because the opportunity to seek advanced information increased.

I smiled and shook my head, then lifted it up again.

“We can check each other’s health at dinner. Then, in the future, please!”

It feels like sothing has co into the pit of my feet!

After realizing that I had reincarnated in the novel, I was prepared to overco anything as I had simulated more than 55,000 revenge situations.

‘The people who have frad our family… You must have been sleeping with your feet intact in this Duke Castle?’

I rembered the “Revenge Manual” notebook in my pocket.

The spies of the family in the castle Duke of Anais… I will shake them off without leaving a single dust!

Duke Anais, looking at my clenched fist, called my na.

“Astel.”

“Yeah?”

“In the future, I will also actively cooperate for our stability.”

His eyes bent slightly.

It was an expression that could be said as an eye-smile, but it just seed aningful because the other person was the Duke Anais.

“I am looking forward to our future.”

***********

After that, I spent the entire day making a contract in the library with the Duke.

For reference, I was the “Gap”.

The Duke readily did that, and I realized again that he was kinder than I expected.

-One , Astel (“Gap”) treats Duke (“Eul”) as a guardian.

Note: GAP -갑(甲) is soone who makes a contract with so advantage and has the right to order soone. On the contrary, EUL(을l) is soone who is subjected to GAP’s orders on the contract. I will use A to represent GAP and B for EUL

-Two, ‘A’ is always waiting at the residence of ‘B’, and when ‘B’ is sick, the tone of the five squads goes down.

-Three, ‘B’ sponsors ‘A’ and takes care of all the conveniences.

It was a magic contract with the sa outline.

It was the first ti in my life that I was placed in the position of “Gap” in the contract, so my heart was pounding.

“This is my first ti ever to write a contract like this!”

I laughed at him.

My heart grew stronger as I recalled the malignant treatnt from the supervisor of the treatnt center where I had been working.

He was a wildcat, always snorting and rolling like a bathrobe.

‘Why did you present the potion I made to the conference as if the director made it… ‘

‘Unhappy?’

‘Of, of course, it’s unfair…’

The head of the treatnt center raised his eyebrows toward with red eyes and gave a congratulatory ssage.

If you feel unfair, go out. Shouldn’t you be grateful to just for accepting a young girl like you?’

However, I didn’t cry and endured whatever the head of the treatnt had.

‘Let’s leave it later, you devious bastard.’

The gallbladder’s chewing heart made him look like a child without an embryo.

Note: I think this is Astel’s way of cursing

So, the head of the treatnt center and the healers under him called the stupid Astel, pushover Astel, and the naive Astel.

I’ve been through a lot of bad things in my life, and I’m trying to get my mind off such things.

It’s not gonna happen!

I got up in a hurry and stared back at the Duke’s cold face.

… Good. Seeing that sharp impression, I’m wary again.

The Duke, who folded the contract and handed it to , leaned on his back.

Even that series of motions was stolen, and my mouth was open. I asked carefully at him.

“Well, but if I want to live in Duke Castle in the future…”

I gulped. It’s not wrong, but I don’t know why I keep getting nervous.

“I have to give my resignation letter to the treatnt center where I was working and pack my luggage.”

The Duke looked up and offered his best answer.

“I will have my articles at the treatnt center and instead communicate your intention to resign. I will also order the drivers to bring the luggage.”

I was also grateful because it was awkward to face the treatnt director.

I was relieved by incinerating everything that would be a problem in case of an unknown search.

“Yes!”

I nodded happily and the duke raised his body.

“I’ll take you to the Delphinium Room where you will stay.”

As soon as he said that, his hand gently covered my forehead.

His eyes blinked, amazed at the unintentional contact, but the Duke whispered to as he lowered his drowsy eyes.

“This is a thermal test.”

“Ah yes!”

I also raised the brackets and placed my hand on the forehead of the Duke.

I felt the right temperature in my palm, neither hot nor cold.

Both he and I seem to be in a healthy state without any problems, so far.

“I’m done with the test too!”

When I lifted my hand with a bright smile, his neck was stiff, as if he didn’t know I would co in contact with it.

Though he still had an indifferent expression, it seed that he sotis blinked his eyes often.

***********

Under the guidance of the Duke, I entered the Delphinium room.

There was a shower room with a view of the exterior scenery, a morning room to have a simple al, and a private Oval Room with a simple view of the House.

“I like it very much!”

I smiled with sincerity. Then the Duke nodded slowly.

“That’s good to hear.”

I looked around the room with my eyes rolling in wonder.

First of all, the most important thing for was the window. There should have been enough passages for ssenger birds to enter.

Fortunately, there was a window in the room.

‘The window is tightly closed, can Cello co in here?’

The black bird, “Cello,” was a ssenger bird between my brother and .

It was also a by-product of the ancient stealth magic that our parents casted to protect us.

So, Cello could co to wherever I was, and I couldn’t even check the shape with the naked eye, except for those who had a strong dragon-class magical power.

Cello periodically moved back and forth between my brother and , knocking on the window of my room anyti and anywhere to deliver letters.

Now that it was ti for Cello to co, I had to keep the windows open wherever I would stay.

Then it was obvious that no one would co in to find secretly.

As I pondered, I tried to reach out to the spacious window in the room.

However, the Duke, who saw lingering near the window, called my na and stopped .
