Is Michelie my weakness?
The obvious answer is no . The person I love most is my weakness? What a joke . That’s why I’m denying it outright . But I still have not the slightest intention to let Michelie and Endo see each other .
Michelie is my prized treasure, and the greatest treasure in the world . It’s no exaggeration to say that she’s my primary motivation to live, or that she’s the reason I can stay strong . She’s not someone whom the likes of the crown prince can lay their eyes on .
Also, it’s kind of pathetic, but I’m still afraid of fate . Charles and Leon no longer pose a problem, but a part of me is still afraid of hopping onto the rails of destiny by any chance . I suppose it’s a price I have to pay for knowing a part of the future .
And there’s the biggest and simplest reason of all . It’s extremely simple, yet it has the biggest factor for concern .
I don’t want an idiot like the crown prince to get together with Michelie .
But the unexpected encounter happened . I originally planned to send a message to Michelie after escorting Endo to my room, but we’re in the same manor . There are a number of ways things could go wrong .
I’m a genius . It’s exactly times like these when I have to settle the matter calmly . Yes . For example, I could solve everything by digging a hole in the courtyard and burying Endo in it . Yeah . I’ll do that . It’s my house . Even if there are witnesses, I could get rid of them easily . I can commit the perfect crime and get away with it .
Completely committed to my genius solution with my mind as serene as a polished mirror and still water, I bring up my fist, ready to knock out the prince .
“Hm?”
He opens his stupid mouth .
I tilt my head and forget about hitting his incomprehensible, stupid face .
What happened? I know he’s an idiot, but his reaction upon seeing my sister is very strange .
“H-hey, Christina Noir . ”
He’s calling my name with a shaken voice while staring at Michelie . He’s planted right in the middle of the hallway, so she can’t just walk past him .
“What, you idiot prince . That stupid face suits you a lot, by the way . You should just use it by default-”
“There’s an angel here . ”
“-eh?”
He said something decent for the first time since I met him .
I blink in surprise to his unimaginable iteration of the universal truth .
“Your Highness Endo . It can’t be…… you actually have good eyes?”
“What are you talking about? I have the most refined sense of aesthetics . More importantly, can you see that halo shining from behind her?”
“Of course I can . ”
Why is he asking such an obvious question? I’ve constantly been bathing in Michelie’s light since I met her when I was three . Of course I can feel her radiance .
“It’s an overwhelming radiance that spreads in all directions and travels miles away . There’s no way I could miss it . Why do you think I love her so much?”
“Huh, I see . I thought your eyes were merely black holes, but it seems that’s not really the case . ……Hmph . It’s too bright even for a ruler such as I . ”
If he didn’t insert his overly egotistical lines, I would have taken him for an imposter . That’s how shocking it is when he’s making such commonplace remarks .
“But you referred to her as big sister, didn’t you? So you’re her younger sister? I heard there was someone like you in the Noir family…… but you don’t resemble her at all . ”
“Shut up, you’re annoying . ”
It’s obvious since we’re not related by blood . Why is he saying something like that so recklessly?
Then again, he’s the only one to have seen Michelie’s halo . Charles often clashes with her, and Leon tends to avoid talking about her for some reason . Even Surfania said something ridiculous like “I can definitely see an indescribable chaos . ” What does she take Michelie for?
While I’m busy thinking about what a certain shut-in so carelessly said, I feel my skirt getting pulled .
“Hey, big sister . Who is that?”
“Hm? Ah……”
Endo is beginning to whisper . He’s probably prepared to die standing . I nod gravely to Michelie as she timidly approaches me .
Now that it’s come to this, it’s no longer possible to conceal his existence from her . I decide to bury the idiot prince next time .
Also, it was Charles who was supposed to be here today, but it’s an obvious idiot who’s here instead . I can’t help it if she has doubts . Even I wasn’t fully convinced when I him .
“He’s our guest . He’s the older brother of Charles . ”
“Guest? ………………Charles’ older brother?”
“Y-yeah . I’m Charles’ brother, Endo Edward . I’m in line for the throne! S-so, yo- I mean…… w-who are you? Tell me your- kh! No…… could you… tell me your name?”
It’s the first time I’m seeing him walk with full self-awareness . It’s kind of creepy . He’s moving awkwardly like a robot . Normally he acts all high and mighty, but now it looks like he doesn’t even know how to approach her . I’m having trouble keeping myself from laughing .
Look at him now .
He’s showing his pitiful side for once . It’s my only chance . I’ll plant a negative image of him now .
“Don’t pay attention to his creepy behavior . This guy’s an idiot . Too bad he’s going to succeed the throne…… the future for this country is so dark . But it’s okay . I’ll protect the peace and security of the Noir family with my life . ”
“Hey, Christina Noir . ”
“And you shouldn’t get too close to him, lest his idiocy infect you too . ”
“And you shouldn’t get too close to him, lest his idiocy infect you too . ”
“Hey . What the hell are you saying?”
What am I saying? Only the objective truth . Also, I am under no obligation whatsoever to be on his side . I thought it was enough to make Michelie dislike him, but her response is beyond my expectations .
“Hmm……”
Michelie, whose first reaction to Charles was one of enmity, has been observing our exchange, taking a peek at Prince Endo’s face, then shifting her gaze to me . She must have sensed something from our emotions .
“……Yup . ”
Muttering slightly, she looks at Endo and squanders her angelic smile on him .
“I’m Michelie . Pleased to meet you, Prince Endo!”
“Y-yeah! Likewise!”
“Hold on, Michelie . You don’t have to be pleased to meet him, you know?!”
It’s a much more proper encounter compared to Charles . I can’t accept it .
But I can’t find a good reason to tear them apart right now . Michelie is smiling happily, and while Endo’s face is red with panic, he seems to have fallen for her smile .
Never mind . I should tear them apart .
I prepare to use some hard-handed tactics even if it means gouging out his eyes, but I stop myself .
I’ve seen this before, somewhere .
“Also, Charles is using a horrible excuse to come to our house . It would make me really happy if you could do something about that as his brother, Your Highness!”
“I see . I can’t ignore Christina Noir’s negative influence on Charles, and it’s unbecoming of royalty to pay unnecessary visits . Very well . It’s my duty as his brother to keep an eye out for him-”
I frown at the increasingly strange feeling from the trivial conversation .
The topic itself is simply gossip . Ignoring it is not a problem . But I get a sense of deja vu just from seeing them talking .
I wonder why, but this event is clearly different from my knowledge of my past life . In Labyrinth Destiny, the first time they meet is in the Royal Academy . There is no situation in which they meet at this age .
So I shouldn’t be feeling this same sense of deja vu as it was with Leon–
“–Oh, I see . ”
I remember now .
Yeah, I see now . It’s not my past life, but it’s overlapping with something I saw long ago .
I remember now .
Yeah, I see now . It’s not my past life, but it’s overlapping with something I saw long ago .
A scene of Michelie talking with a smile, and a boy with a red face, drawing her attention . I remember seeing that .
Yeah, that’s what it was .
I felt the same thing when I first saw Leon .
Leon seems to be avoiding Michelie for some reason now, but I was upset when he was all shy in front of her when we first met . I felt like crushing the insect trying to crawl his way towards Michelie . I see, this was similar to how I feel towards Endo right now .
As I come to terms with the situation and the strange feeling begins to dissipate, I suddenly come up with an impossible theory .
“……Impossible . ”
“Big sister?”
“N-no, it’s nothing . ”
I try to cover it up, and give Michelie a smile . Obviously, she’s sensitive enough to notice . She gives me another questioning look, but I can’t tell her about it .
“I was about to tell you how impossibly stupid Prince Endo really is . Combined with the stories Viscount Igusa told me, this could become a comedic masterpiece . ”
“Do you have a grudge against me?!”
A lot of grudges, actually . Especially our unforgettable first meeting?”
“Gh . ”
“First meeting? What was that like?”
“Ah . Of all people, this guy came to me and–”
“Anything but that! That’s the biggest blot of my life!”
I stick my tongue out at him, dodging Michelie’s sharp senses while desperately looking for evidence to disprove my theory .
This can’t be . Michelie’s angelic cuteness and beauty drew Leon to her, and her deadly attractiveness is drawing Prince Endo to her right now . That much is obvious . My sister is the cutest in the world .
Michelie is the charismatic and adorable heroine of this world .
She’s… definitely… the… heroine… of… this… world… not because of her cuteness and charisma .
It’s because she’s the most charismatic girl in the world, that she’s drawn in both Leon and Prince Endo on their first meeting . It’s definitely not because of fate .
“Come on, Michelie . Let’s go to our room . ”
“Yup! ……Are you coming too, Prince Endo?”
While urging Michelie forward, I keep looking for solid proof to deny my own theory .
It’s okay . There’s no way Michelie’s charisma is tied to the magnetism of fate . Otherwise, it makes no sense why I love her with every fiber of my being . Even if my response towards Michelie isn’t normal simply because I’m a “bug” born as a genius in this world, I have another solid reason to deny the existence of fate .
Because Charles was never attracted to Michelie .
My fiancé has been paying attention to me without the influence of fate . It’s precisely because of his passion toward me that I can bring myself to believe that fate does not exist . Michelie and I will grow without having to die young, get along with each other, and support each other through our lives .
“Alright . Since you’re our guest, we’ll bring you to…… hey, idiot prince . Step away from Michelie . Were you just about to touch her hair? If you dare lay a finger on her, I’ll slaughter you and bury you in the courtyard, you pervert . ”
“……Prince Endo?”
“Huh?! T-t-that’s not how it is okay?! Why would I do that?! D-don’t call me a pervert! It’s just your imagination, Christina Noir!”
“Huh . ……Yeah . It’s just my imagination . ”
Yeah .
It’s just my imagination .
“……Hm? You’re surprisingly honest . Stop it, it’s creepy . ”
“Okay . I’ll take you to the courtyard later . After I bury you I’ll make a gravestone that says “Here lies a perverted prince . ”
“You’re really scary . ”
“Prince Edward, big sister is always honest . She’s always dazzling, too . That’s why she’s cool, and I love her!”
“I love you too . You’re always so radiant and honest and adorable!”
Holding my beloved sister’s hand and thinking about my fiancé with hope, I catch a flash of fate’s silhouette, even though it’s supposed to be far away .
(Fate) “I don’t see a way in for my debut so I’ll try calling . ” *beep boop bup*
THE NUMBER YOU ARE TRYING TO REACH IS NOT AV-
(Fate) “…………”
Author’s note: This marks the end of the Age 11 arc .
I haven’t been updating new chapters regularly? ……I’m really sorry .
Leaving that aside, here’s another intermission before we enter the Age 13 arc . I’m planning to make that short, so there may be more intermission chapters .
……I feel sorry for Fate who was about to get a significant role .
