『Will I be able to hold my grandchildren while I am still alive?』
With those weak, grandfather-like words spoken in his sleep, the former King’s words served as a signal, and an urgent (in the truest sense) family meeting was held in the King’s office.
The Head Maid cleared everyone, from guards to others, out of the room. She thoroughly evacuated people even from hidden passages and hidden rooms.
Well… it was just a bright family planning discussion, but the content was quite… ‘that’.
「Making Halfren’s son the heir is the top priority at this time.」
The former King said so, as if it were his last job.
Indeed, that had been decided long ago, and the two older brothers had already agreed.
「So, onii-sama, have you already taken ‘that’ medicine?」
I recalled what I had heard when I first came to this world.
Something about drinking a special potion to eliminate one’s seed… When I asked timidly, my new King brother laughed lightly.
Right. It’s a joke, right? Geez… I’ll have the Head Maid scold my idiot aniki later.
「I continue to drink it.」
「…Hah?」
He said such a thing with a casual, nonchalant air.
It didn’t seem like something to be said so lightly, but onii-sama continued calmly.
「Although it is called medicine, its components are a mild poison… I am getting killed it by drinking it little by little over a long period. I think it is sufficiently dead by now, but just to be safe, I am still drinking it.」
「……」
Whoa～. No way. I absolutely cannot do that, and I do not have such resolve. Drinking poison continuously is truly impossible for me.
Ah～ I am glad I am in a position where I can cuddle with Noie.
「I also said that there was no need to go that far.」
「If I were to father a child by some mistake, it would become a new seed of conflict. If conflicts can be eliminated simply by being unable to father children, why hesitate?」
「…You are too serious, Schnitt.」
To the Stud King, he indeed seemed too serious.
But perhaps it looked extreme because one was too serious, while the other was too unserious.
「Well, since you are already doing it, it can’t be helped. So, if this idiot aniki produces an heir…」
Then, I realized that fact.
Slowly turning my face toward the other person, some idiot was looking toward the window with all his might.
「Some fool has five concubines, and recently even got married～」
「…So it seems.」
A bitter voice returned. But I did not relax my pursuit.
「And, until just now, I had never heard any talk about 『having children』 from some fool～. You wouldn’t say that the idiot who should produce an heir is sterile, while making me drink poison, would you?」
Since he was ignoring me, I turned my gaze to the Head Maid and bowed my head slightly.
She moved and stood in front of the idiot aniki’s line of sight.
Receiving the Head Maid’s very cold gaze that thoroughly looked down on him, the idiot aniki scratched his head with a 『good grief』.
「Even so, I am being considerate. If one of my concubines gave birth to the eldest son, it would cause trouble again, wouldn’t it?」
「Then are you working hard every night with your current wife?」
Now that he had obtained a partner with no problems, he should work hard at making babies… Hey, brother? Why are you turning your face away again?
However, the Head Maid, who had moved around him, sneered through her nose at the idiot aniki with a condescending look. That would probably be irritating if done to someone else, but since it was her, I would bow my head and accept it with a 『Thank you very much』.
…Am I not awakening to dangerous thoughts because I have been surrounded by sadistic people recently?
Perhaps unable to endure the Head Maid’s gaze, the idiot aniki started scratching his head again.
「Despite appearances, Richina grew up without interacting with the opposite sex, so she is shy, or rather, ignorant of the world.」
「In other words, you still haven’t laid a hand on her?」
There was no reply. It seemed to be the truth.
「Hmph… You coward.」
He probably wore a smug face. The Head Maid gave me a thumbs-up.
You really hate my idiot aniki, don’t you?
「Didn’t someone say before～? 『If you sleep with a woman, it will happen naturally』… Oh my～?」
I pressed the attack while I had the chance. It was fine. I had the kind and reliable presence of the Head Maid on my side. I would become a fox borrowing the tiger’s authority to the fullest.
「…We don’t sleep together.」
When the idiot said such a chicken-like thing with a bitter tone.
「We sleep together every night～」
「…That’s right. I have been sleeping with her recently as well.」
At my onii-sama’s words, who had been vaguely watching our situation, I slammed on the brakes in my mind.
What did he just say? Every night with that Tiny Princess…?
I wiped away the images that floated into my mind with all my might. In this world, it was safe, but in the world I originally came from, it was an instant fail case.
It has been really strict recently!
「Camille is also selfish… I refuse because I am tired from work, but she does not back down. In the end, even my children concubines come.」
What is that loli-harem state! No good. I absolutely will not imagine it.
But the figure of my ikemen onii-sama commanding loli girls… it’s dangerous, so don’t think about it!
「By the way, Sieck. Please add more books for reading aloud to the children in the bedroom.」
「Yes, Schnitt-sama. I will gather interesting stories from all over the world and place them there later.」
…I knew it. I understood. Onii-sama was different from the Stud King and the idiot aniki.
But knowing the gossip instantly changed my impression of him to a fatherly figure who raises children, so handsome men are truly unfair.
