I Was Reincarnated as the Heir of a Villainous Family, Who Kept the Fallen Daughter of the Count as a Maid for Satisfying My Sexual Desires, Only to Meet My Demise at the End. If I Treat Her Normally, She Would Come Visit Me Every Night Which is Troublesome… - Chapter 14
Musclehead Knight
—Virance Mansion’s Parlour—
I shouldn’t laugh, but when Lotus sits down, I can’t help but imagine a circus bear riding a bicycle.
Meina-san and Marie are anxiously looking at the large visitor through the gap in the door.
They must be curious about our conversation.
After a while, even though she isn’t a serve maid, she seems to take on the role and pour tea into cups for both me and Lotus.
After bowing to Meina-san, Lotus picks up the small cup and sips on the tea.
It’s amusing to see because his fingers barely fit around the handle of the cup.
After taking a sip, Lotus starts to speak.
“I have come to become your disciple, Nord-sama.”
As he says so, he bows deeply to me.
Despite his huge body, Lotus is surprisingly humble.
“Yeah, I refuse!”
Please think about my feelings as well!
A ten year old boy taking a twenty year old man as his disciple, that’s just absurd!
“If you become my disciple, what would become of the Knights Order? It would seriously damage their reputation.”
“No need to worry! That’s precisely why the Chief of the Knights Order will resign, so rest assured!”
No, don’t resign!
I’m worried.
If something like that happens…it can be the very reason for the Count Magdalia house’s downfall.
Then, Lotus comes up with a proposal that makes no sense at all.
“In that case, shall I offer my beloved sister, Elise, to Nord-sama in marriage?”
“What did you say!?”
Why is it that when I try to avoid a death flag, it just comes at me from another direction!
As I’m left dumbfounded, Lotus begins to praise Elise.
“My little sister is so beautiful that anyone would be charmed by her beauty, on top of that, she is a really kind person. I’m sure Nord-sama will like her if you meet her. No, I’m sure you’ll fall in love with her… In that case, Nord-sama will be my brother-in-law, then there should be no issue for me becoming your disciple.”
I already know everything about this…but I pretend not to and listen to Lotus bragging about his little sister.
But honestly, when he said ‘brother-in-law’ just now, it sent shivers down my spine.
“Only Mari calls me Onii-sama, and that’s more than enough. The thought of being called ‘brother-in-law’ by you makes my skin crawl!”
However, I have a few questions, so I ask Lotus.
“How did you know it’s me?”
“Your swordsmanship technique is really similar to the Galianus Swordsmanship, and it is unique to the Virance family.”
Damn it…
It must be obvious for someone like Lotus.
As expected of the Chief Knight.
I feel like burying my head in my arms on the table. But instead, perhaps due to the auto correct feature that Nord has, I find myself leaning back in my chair with my feet up on the table.
What an ill-mannered boy.
From Lotus’ tone, it seems that I have exceeded his expectations and became too strong…
However, I have no intention of taking on a disciple, so I quickly make up an excuse and urge Lotus to leave as if shooing away a stray dog.
“The weapons that we use are different. Therefore, I can’t teach you anything. Go home!”
“What if I say I won’t leave until you accept me as your disciple?”
“Then I’ll beat you up!”
“Exactly what I want!”
Lotus and I quickly finish the tea that Meina-san made for us. Then we place our cups on the saucer.
As if we’re competing, we open the door and rush out to the balcony.
“Touu!”
With a shout, Lotus leaps over the railing and jump down from the fourth floor to the garden below.
The moment I’m sure Lotus jumped down the balcony, I immediately close the balcony door.
“[Hidden Barrier Dark Invisible]”
I use magic to hide the Virance mansion from Lotus.
“Is everything alright, Nord-sama?”
Meina-san looks worriedly as Lotus desperately search outside for my mansion.
“Leave him be. Bears aren’t meant to be kept by humans.”
“Yes, understood…”
I’m glad that he is not a bad guy, however being Elise’s brother is a whole different problem!
Moreover, marrying Elise without even considering her feelings is just downright despicable…
Peeking quietly into the parlour, Marie rushes to me and grabs my sleeve after confirming that there are no more guests.
“Onii-sama…tomorrow…”
“Oh, right.”
