“This is even more narrow than a doghouse . ”
Without being conscious of it, my former step-brother(TL: I really don’t know what should I use so I went with a random one), Shade Suwarose-kun, looked around my house spitting insults as if it was a natural thing to do .
I boiled some hot water to make the expensive tea Niksama brought me and brought out the expensive biscuits, which Niksama had also brought me, as tea snacks . Even though these things do not match with my commoner life, I accepted them out of courtesy – though I did have complicated emotions . I had never thought there will be a chance to use them…but it would have been better if you hadn’t visited at all .
“…Oishii(TL: or “Delicious”) . This biscuit is expensive, right? How can Felicianeue(Elder sister) who is now a commoner afford this?”
“I received it from Niksama”
“Niksama…Nicolas Cabot? Why did that person come to Felicianeue?”
“It seems like he felt pity for me who received such a harsh punishment . ”
“Fu~n”(TL: “Hmm” or “Is that so”)
Seems like he was convinced with that answer .
The only thing that the Oresama prince had done to me was the annulling our engagement . There was no problem with that . To accurately explain it, if you continue to be an aristocrat in that situation, there will be things like not being able to find a decent partner and may others, but let’s put that aside .
The problem was the punishment which I was overjoyed about given to me by my parents . Tobe demoted to a commoner . Regarding this, if I were the typical daughter of the duke…this would be quite a heavy punishment, one equal to being sentenced to death .
Normally, there was no reason for a noble who stood above all people to be thrown alone in an unfamiliar area and live as a commoner . There are things that they would refuse to do due to their pride along with the fact that the common sense of the commoners was different from the nobles . There are also many things that they don’t know how to do . There are people who suicided because they could not accept the fact that they had fallen down to such a level and there are also people who could not change their behavior and ended up being separated from the village, living in poverty…Ma~a . Since there will be no end to this topic if I continue, I will end it here .
The reason I’m living happily now was because in my past life I had been living as a commoner, which is completely different from this life . Not only that, I had been wishing for this life 10 years earlier and even investigated in secret about how to live as a commoner .
In other words, even if Niksama pities me if you look at it from the end, it is likely nothing strange will be seen . I don’t have the obligations to truthfully tell Shade It’s because he found out those were false charges like an honest idiot .
“Do you usually meet up with Nicholas-sama?”
“We meet occasionally . . ”
Unless I tell him the exact digit, it will only be an individual’s opinion . In my past life, I was taught very carefully at my job about how one should be careful with these opinions . These vary and will sometimes lead to failure but I will risk it and live a happy life with repeated sophism .
While talking, I transferred the well-steamed tea in front of both of us .
“Felicianeue, you seem very lively . ”
“Eh~, unexpectedly, compared to living as a noble, this life seems to fit me better . ”
“Fu~n, it is fun?”
“Yes . ”
From a first glance, this seems like a typical conversation between siblings but we were step-sibling who had no conversations at all in the past . And, since Shade is carrying a bomb with him (TL: He is enemy!!!⁽⁽◝(๑꒪່౪̮꒪່๑)◜⁾⁾≡₍₍◞(๑꒪່౪̮꒪່๑)◟₎₎), even just talking like this, I feel like I am about to lose my nerves .
“Maybe I’ll do something and also be kicked out . Felicianeue, when that time comes, why don’t we live together?”
Absolutely NO!!
