When I Reincarnated as the Villain of a Game World, I Created a Harem and Broke the Protagonist's Heart and Efforts!

Chapter 18 : Future Plans!

I listened to the maid’s report and headed towards my father’s office.

When I knocked on the office door three times, I heard my father’s voice from the other side and so I opened the door and walked in.

I had thought I was the only one summoned, but inside the office were my younger sister, Sharmilina, and my younger brother, Klein.

Ever since what happened a month ago, Sharmilina was unsure of how to interact with me and we were interacting less with each other. But recently, we seemed to be gradually returning to our previous relationship.

On the other hand, Klein, since that incident, had not spoken to me at all and even glared at me with eyes filled with hatred upon seeing me. He was doing the same now, and honestly, it was annoying.

While thinking such thoughts internally, I advanced to the same position as the two without showing any sorts of emotions on my face.

As I stood in the same position as the two, my father, who had been sitting in the chair behind the desk, spoke.

“I apologize for summoning you all so suddenly.”

“No need for formalities, Father. Please state your business.”

Since my time with Serena had been interrupted by the maid earlier, it was ultimately my father’s fault, so even though I didn’t show it on my face, it naturally reflected in my attitude.

“Well then, let me explain briefly since all three of you are here for a reason. I called you because of the upcoming announcement party for the engagement of His Highness the Second Prince.”

“Engagement announcement party?”

“Yes.”

Sharmilina repeated her father’s words.

“The engagement of the Second Prince was decided recently, and this party is to officially announce it.”

“Who is the fiancée?”

“The eldest daughter of the Duke Richard’s family, Miss Miliana.”

Miliana, huh? A familiar name.

I had met her a few times since we belonged to the Duke Families and often interacted. I think she was the same age as me, but it had been so many years since we last met that I couldn’t remember clearly.

“Returning to the topic, besides the engagement announcement, there is another purpose for this party.”

“….What is it?”

Sharmilina tilted her head slightly and asked her father.

“The Second Prince is looking for candidates for the Magic High Academy he will enter in two years and potential assistants after graduation. Therefore, noble young ladies, including those within a two-year age difference, are invited to the party.”

I see… Seeking for assistants means he is looking for some entourage.

However, if they were to become the Prince’s entourage, it would refer to the sons of nobles, so there was no need to invite Sharmilina to this event. Still, if Sharmilina was invited, it means that finding suitable concubines for the Second Prince was also one of the purposes of this party.

Even though it was impossible for someone from the Duke’s family to become a concubine, Sharmilina’s participation was just for appearances. It would be awkward if the daughter of the duke was the only one not invited among other noble daughters.

While thinking about such things, my father continued talking, entering the discussion about the date.

“The engagement announcement party will be held a month from now. So, one week before that, three weeks from now, we will depart from here. Prepare accordingly by then.”

“Yes.”

“Alright. You may leave now.”

After my father’s words, Sharmilina and Klein left the office. As the two left and the door closed completely, I brought up a request to my father.

“Father, I have one request.”

“What is it?”

“Yes. You are probably already aware, but due to the incident a month ago, it might be problematic for Klein and me to be in the same space for an extended period. So, I would like to travel separately in another carriage.”

This was a pretext. It didn’t matter whether Klein and I were in the same space.

So, why was I trying to arrange a separate carriage?

The reason was simple.

To bring Lilia, Lulua, and Serena.

I planned to enroll Lilia and Lulua in the Magic High Academy I would attend in two years. The academy accepted many commoners and nobles from the empire. While there were separate classes for commoners and nobles, being in the same academy meant that they would inevitably come into contact with nobles more frequently.

For the sake of their interactions with nobles and to get them used to noble society, I was thinking of taking them to this party.

However, if there was only one carriage, it would be difficult to attend the party and travel with the three of them separately until we reached the capital.

So, in order for the three of them to ride in the same carriage, and also for them to attend the party, I needed another carriage.

After a brief pause, my father responded to my words.

“I understand. We will prepare another carriage. I don’t want you to be exhausted before the party.”

“Thank you.”

“However, not immediately, but at some point, mend your relationship with Klein.”

“I will handle it appropriately. Well then, excuse me.”

Ignoring my father’s last words, I left the office. After closing the door completely, I headed towards the library where Lilia would likely be.

“Now then, what kind of dresses would suit the girls…”
