I Will Return My New Brother Chapter 98

“Your Majesty.”

While the black knight order didn't leave the 'imperial family' in order to fulfill their duty as the guard, it was the blue knight order led by Orion that rescued others and handled wyverns.

Today, his blue eyes and dazzling blonde shone ever more.

He was very different from Young Duke Bolton, who was standing next to us like a shadow, hiding his presence as much as possible.

“I have one request.”

“Hm?”

Orion stated his request to His Majesty who looked surprised.

“I would like it if you let His Highness, who was having a hard time after experiencing hardship in the forest, stay at our mansion for a while.”

His sudden request led the prince's eyes rounded wide like a rabbit.

The emperor's eyes also showed an odd light.

“The second prince?”

“Yes. As a teacher, I feel sorry for not being able to find my student quickly so that he would suffer a little less. I also can't pretend to not see my student hurting like that.”

“. . . Is that so?”

The emperor's eyebrows wriggled as if he couldn't believe that.

It was not only the emperor.

Even the blue knights behind Orion were also rolling their eyes while maintaining a straight posture.

They looked like they couldn't believe Orion's words that he was worrying about his injured student even for an ounce.

Actually, it was also hard for me to believe.

He didn't give the prince a glance even when he found him with me.

He also didn't say a word to him on our way here.

What are you thinking, Orion?

While receiving those suspicious gazes, Orion looked at me.

His smiling face was telling me to 'just believe in this oppa.'

I sent a glance to Sir Rune, but he shrugged and made a gesture that he didn't persuade Orion.

Orion was exceedingly rational, but he began speaking words that were not rational.

“As there are many victims, I don't think His Highness will be able to rest comfortably in the palace. Wouldn't it be nice for him to rely on me, his teacher?”

“Teacher, huh? Well, you are indeed a teacher.”

His Majesty stroked his mustache while looking at Orion.

Although you never teach him properly, and you are not in a relationship where you could rely on each other.

I felt like I heard that continuation at the end of what the emperor said.

And above all, the said person, the prince was busy tilting his head as if he was doubting his ears.

“So you're saying this is for the prince's sake, right?”

“Of course, Your Majesty.”

“Sir Miller, but since earlier, you don't even glance at the prince that you're saying you're worrying about and only look at your little sister.”

Orion turned his head every few seconds and looked at me with glittering eyes.

As if he was asking me to praise him.

“It is because I feel very sorry to the prince that I couldn't look at him.”

The emperor was left speechless at Orion's shameless answer.

The prince next to him had his jaw dropped.

And I didn't know why I should be the one who couldn't move due to the embarrassment here.

But I had done nothing except greet the emperor.

“My sister also went through something similar, so it will be difficult mentally for her. If the Prince is with her, I'm sure it will give her peace of mind. Didn't the two rely on each other inside the forest?”

“. . . So this is your point.”

The emperor reluctantly looked at me.

I dropped my head modestly.

“But from what I see, the Young Lady is already calm enough.”

“No, Your Majesty.”

Orion quietly denied His Majesty's words.

With a serious look, he gently put his hand on my shoulder and insisted with all his might that what he said was sincere.

“She's usually a child who would have secretly walked to the mansion instead of going home with me. Hasn't she been quietly waiting to go home with me? This is proof that she's tired in her body and mind.”

“Well, she must have been exhausted.”

How could I walk home when my legs hurt?

However, that was definitely a possible story if I didn't lose my stamina while wandering in the forest.

Orion continued to speak in earnest.

“Even now, she should have rejected the dress I prepared because it was fancy, but look at how obediently she wore it.”

“Is that a problem?”

“It's not. Of course, she looks pretty and lovely because she wears it. However, usually, Marianne would show another response.”

I slowly looked down at my dress.

I had changed to the dress that was given to me without any other thought, but this was clearly different from what I usually wore.

A light beige dress with slightly puffed shoulder sleeves and floral embellishments at each hem.

Then, the dress I was wearing began to get uncomfortable.

Orion continued his nonsense with a neat face and confident attitude.

“I'm telling you that this kid is a scared, wounded fawn.”

The prince's face turned pale and he quietly took a step back.

Then, he looked at me and puffed his lips.

The words told by that face were simple.

Are you trying to eliminate me after bringing me to the duchy? I already told you I'd shut up, but in the end, you're taking me away?

When I shook my head with a meaning no, the prince turned even blue and soon bowed his head.

It was like the face of a prisoner who got his execution date fixed.

I told you no, didn't I?

What did he imagine that he became like that?

The emperor didn't see the prince, who was making that face, and scanned Orion with a strange expression.

He was fascinated as if he had found a rare creature.

The only one here, who wasn't flustered was Young Duke Bolton.

“Young Duke Miller . . . you've changed a lot since the last time I saw you.”

I desperately wanted to go back to the mansion.

How good would it be if everything turned into a dream when I woke up from my sleep?

Instead of a fawn, I wanted to be a bear cub and hibernate.

I want to sleep forever.

Forever.
