A Famous Traitor and Treacherous Genius

55 – The Little Tyrant of the Orphanage (4)

Noir is my younger brother and his father’s son.

But he is also his mother’s son.

I’m not trying to disgrace his mother, but in the end, doing so would be like spitting in my face.

If you were to ask where the tendency of noir came from-

‘My maternal grandfather’s place.’

To his mother’s father-to his maternal grandfather.

‘Trash of the century.’

Baron Jacques Lembourg Gunther.

He was a libertine and a rare idiot who went around messing with various women.

He is probably living quietly in his estate for now.

‘The plan to get ahead by selling her mother to an incompetent king failed.’

Before his return, he continued to head to the royal capital with his mother.

After hospitalizing her maternal grandmother in a hospital exclusively for nobles in the royal capital, she had her mother come to the royal capital.

‘I wouldn’t have known it, but there was no reason to stop her when her grandmother said she was sick.’

My father couldn’t keep up.

Because he had to protect the canyon.

He is a man who will do anything for his own success, and even now that he is over 60, he is an ugly old man who harasses young women.

Noir happens to resemble that tendency the most.

So you have to control it.

How?

“Everyone, you worked hard.”

By putting nine leashes around Noir.

“How was your meeting with the children at the orphanage?”

After the meeting, the Whites returned to the building and sat in front of me.

“Was there a guy you liked?”

The Whites briefly shook their heads.

“He must have had a fair face. Number 9. Answer as a representative.”

“The face was definitely fine overall.”

It seems that the children at the orphanage don’t really notice them.

“What don’t you like?”

“Well… I guess we’re all a bit too ‘challenged’.”

“As expected, the desire to rise is stronger than that of the opposite s*x? Interesting.”

According to the imperial health theory, adolescent boys and girls are said to have a high interest in the opposite s*x.

“Well, the knight candidates are all commoners. Still, there must have been at least one good candidate, right?”

“If you’re talking about Ethan Cesar, he doesn’t seem to be interested in us at all…”

“Was everything good except that guy?”

“Can I be honest with you, master?”

“Of course.”

But is it because of the emperor’s bloodline?

“We still have a lot of opportunities left, but I have no intention of joining a boy from Goa.”

“Oh. Then what are you aiming for?”

“You could aim for a daughter-in-law, a second wife, or the current knight’s lover. I don’t think there’s a need to become an orphan’s mate.”

Clap clap clap.

“That’s amazing. Oh, I’m not being sarcastic. I’m truly impressed.”

There seems to be a higher desire for power, status, and success than for the opposite s*x.

“If all the children in the orphanage were nobles and high-status children, they would have been interested, right?”

White people were silent.

“There is no need to be ashamed. It is natural for everyone. You need to be proud of your appearance and abilities.”

It may be embarrassing to nod your head, but that silence was a positive answer.

“I approve of your attitude. So, let me ask you one favor.”

I took out a piece of parchment from my pocket.

“This is my younger brother Noir.”

“…”

“I told you this before, but I said this to Noir. If you can lure you guys here, try it.”

White people look at each other.

Even though Noir is 10 years old, the age gap with White is not that big.

“If you like it, steal Noir’s heart. You can do it together, or all nine of you can take turns.”

“Hey, Master. If you don’t mind, may I say something?”

“Okay. What is it?”

“…Do you plan to make us Master Noir’s concubines?”

“Not at all.”

I talked to Noir that way.

“I’m not putting this on you to make her your wife or concubine. Of course, if Noir says she truly likes you and loves you, we can support that love.”

“Then…?”

“Use Noir. Instead, stop him from meeting this woman and that woman carelessly.”

“Uh, um… “

White people did not easily understand my intentions.

“It’s okay.”

I understand.

“You have to be honest so you can act clearly.”

These are people who need to pay attention to me, and even if I say they understand, I can’t help but pay attention.

“I can’t let Noir meet any woman. She can’t let Noir have a lowly woman by her side.”

If so, I have no choice but to explain it so that they can understand it very easily.

“I can’t see him saying he would marry a commoner, an orphan, or a woman with no ability.”

Although it was not my intention.

“Over the past three years, there have been quite a few orphans who have harbored feelings for Noir.”

Persuade them in the most noble way.

“I cannot tolerate that.”

“Ah… “

“If you have the ability to buy a noble title, I cannot tolerate you daring to seek support from Gibraltar by thinking that receiving Gibraltar’s support is your own ability.”

Of course.

‘Will you notice? ‘I say this to myself as well.’

This is also true for white people.

“If you want to steal Gibraltar’s heart, you’ll have to show that much ability. Or you’ll have to be as pretty as my mother.”

The emperor had said something like that before.

“Whether you are a woman or a man, appearance is also an ability.”

From noble mtl dot come

And using it is also a skill.

“In that sense, I think you guys are better, as your looks are clearly overwhelming compared to any of the kingdom’s nobles.”

“Ah… “

Also, complimenting a woman’s appearance is most effective in any situation.

“I’ve been to the royal capital a few times, and you guys here are objectively prettier than any other ladies.”

Especially if you evaluate it higher compared to others.

“If you dress him up in a dress and invite him to a party, everyone might think he’s Gibraltar’s distant cousin. He’s a secret child.”

If we stimulate their secret desires and show them that they can become more beautiful and be recognized by others.

“So. I’ll give you guys instructions.”

Noir wouldn’t know.

“Until Noir becomes an adult, she will not carelessly touch a woman. You must watch from the side her, be on guard, and chase away any bugs that stick to her.”

“…Master. I have a question.”

“Tell me.”

“If Master Noir wants to embrace us, what should we do then?”

“Of course.”

There is only one correct answer.

“Until she becomes an adult, play with her as much as you can.”

“Eh… “

“After you become an adult, whether you have a child or run away from love, it’s up to you whether it’s two or ten.”

It doesn’t matter what you do after you become an adult.

“Whether it’s asking him to wait until he becomes an adult, or keeping him chaste and saying it’s not right, or just kissing him and restraining him somehow, make sure he can’t touch a woman before he becomes an adult.”

Past.

After the kingdom fell and I became a margrave the year I turned 20.

About 3 years.

The time it took for Noir to become an adult.

-Ah, why are they stopping me from doing this!!! I want to do it too!! My brother does it all the time, why doesn’t he let me do it!!

At that time, it was so hellish that I don’t even want to remember it.

“When I looked at the Imperial Newspaper, there was a story like that. It was about removing peanuts to prevent the number of wild dogs and stray cats on the streets from growing wild, or something like that.”

“…!!”

“What if Noir does something like that carelessly. If she does something for which she is not responsible before she becomes an adult.”

This is sincere.

“A wild animal that tries to bite anyone has no choice but to wear a muzzle.”

Instead of removing it completely, you can restrain it with a muzzle and release it later when the time comes.

“I have no choice but to commit. This is something my father has approved.”

Also.

“If Noir later asks why he’s the only one who does that.”

This is.

“Grey Gibraltar also said to be the same. Gibraltar’s successor must remain chaste until he becomes an adult.”

The same goes for me too.

“Because it is a tradition, rule, and law passed down from generation to generation in Gibraltar.”

One external reason.

“After you become an adult, you can have as many children as you want. But at least until you become an adult.”

The next 10 years until Noir becomes an adult.

“If a child were to come out between you two, I would have no choice but to kill him with tears in my eyes.”

Until then, no child shall be born in Gibraltar except that of the father.

* * *

Study.

“I heard that you sleep with Princess Naria and the granddaughter of Astasia.”

“Yes.”

“You probably didn’t do anything strange, right?”

“Of course, father.”

As soon as I was called by my father, I was immediately questioned.

“Because Gibraltar’s long-standing rules cannot be broken.”

“…Yes. Until they come of age, Gibraltar must not be swayed by personal feelings. Especially when it comes to carnal desires.”

It looks like he’s worried.

“Gibraltar must protect the canyon. It must have a pious and firm attitude that will not waver in any situation.”

“Are you talking about moderation?”

“That’s right. If Gibraltar abandons the canyon because of personal desires, Gibraltar will no longer be Gibraltar.”

My father continued his speech while fiddling with the musket he had taken out of the study.

“I also had a brother.”

“…”

“I was the youngest among the brothers, and I had three older brothers above me.”

“They…”

“I left Gibraltar before you were born. There were two reasons. Can you guess?”

I know.

“Because my father was the greatest master.”

“That’s right. Among you, I was the best swordsman. Even though I was the youngest.”

One. Difference in talent.

“And there is another reason.”

“Somehow, it seems like it’s exposing the uncle’s secrets.”

“They can no longer use the last name of Gibraltar, so they can’t even use the title of uncle.”

“You couldn’t bear it?”

“That’s right.”

His father calmly nodded his head.

“Once Gibraltar falls in love, he sees nothing else.”

“There are so many cases where love comes to us before we become adults.”

A time of great energy.

‘The other one.’

Even though they were born to fathers who were sword masters, these boys were full of physical vitality.

‘Escape from love.’

My body is already boiling with blood, and since I was born good-looking, how many women around me cling to me?

They all had accidents.

I went crazy in love and lost all control.

“Are they alive now?”

“No.”

“Why?”

“They loved Gibraltar, not her her her her her brothers her her her.”

And I lost my life.

After being abandoned by the women, they all committed suicide.

“When I asked Sir Mente, my father told me that even during his time at the Academy, he never had contact with any woman until he was an adult.”

“That’s right.”

He also has the qualifications to become Gibraltar’s successor.

“In a way, my father is fortunate that he met my mother after she was an adult.”

“Grey.”

“Yes, father.”

“Not only after I became an adult, but also after your mother became an adult… No, I waited and waited until the wedding day.”

“…”

My father was proud as if I had won first place in a swordsmanship competition, but I suddenly felt unwell.

“We were each other’s first time. Hehe.”

“…I don’t want to hear that kind of story. Okay, what do you want to do?”

“Ah.”

After my father adjusted the musket, he held it out in front of me.

“Take it with you. Instead, you shouldn’t use it carelessly somewhere.”

“I will only use it inside the daycare center and in my room.”

“Before that.”

My father said, holding the musket like a sword.

“I have already heard reports from Sir Mente and Robert, but you showed restraint in not touching the two princesses even with them by your side.”

“Of course.”

How can I touch them both?

“Are you sure you don’t have any desires for these two people?”

“That’s a little different.”

“Different?”

“As for Princess Naria, I have a duty to make her her her her king her her her her.”

It’s an oath as a knight, or it’s gratitude for giving me another life.

“The underlying desire is a strong desire to eliminate someone.”

“Saint Geo Nostrum.”

“Yes. I want to kill the incompetent king. To do that.”

Although it is a bit obvious.

“For Princess Naria to become queen, she must not associate herself with anything unclean.”

Purity will be the greatest symbol of the queen’s authority.

“On the day of the coronation, who would dare make a fuss if they saw Naria Geo Nostrum on a unicorn?”

“Have you never thought about something like that against Princess Naria?”

“She intends to do so if she needs to, but she does not think Princess Naria will either.”

Although our relationship is formed solely through reason, there are no feelings for the opposite s*x.

“I see her as her king, and she sees me as the knight who will place her on her throne.”

“…It’s extremely dry.”

“This is true. This is between Princess Naria and me.”

Because I am like that and Princess Naria is like that.

“Then, what about the royal granddaughter Astasia?”

“About her…” ” “

“Every single one of your actions speaks volumes.”

My father looked at me seriously.

“My father was like that, my brothers were like that, and I was like that. Now my son is like that.”

“Are you talking about Gibraltar in love?”

“That’s right.”

My father steps in front of me, stamps his musket on the ground like a sword, and holds the end with both hands.

“You have a crush on the granddaughter of Astasia. “Feelings similar to love.”

“If that’s the case, then I’m acting clearly.”

“What?”

“If you want to fool your enemies, fool your allies too.”

I greeted my father with a light courtesy.

“Do you think my father likes Astasia?”

“Yes.”

“Then everyone who looks at me must think that.”

It’s the perfect camouflage.

“Gray Gibraltar is in love with Astasia.”

“…”

“The empire will take advantage of this. Either send someone to me or send someone to your father.”

With high probability.

“Those who will use Gray Gibraltar as an excuse to make Gibraltar an imperial territory will approach. “Some have already arrived.”

“Those girls…?”

“Yes. Among them, there is an empire spy. I did catch one, though.”

Actually there are three.

“I tell them to report freely. Then more spies will come to Gibraltar, and we can take advantage of them.”

Either a bribe or something.

Whether it’s Lee Kwon.

Or items for child care or postpartum care.

“I’m obsessed with Astasia, but if the results don’t come out, the longer we drag it out, the more time we’ll have to deal with the Empire as well.”

“…”

“Seven years until the incompetent king was brought down. And we must think about the days after that. After the queen comes to the throne, the day when the empire ignores the kingdom and tries to cross the gorge.”

“What are you planning to do with Astasia?”

“Of course, no matter who sees it, I will cherish and care for you as if I love you.”

In the distant future.

“Even after you become an adult, the empire will wait and wait until you have children.”

“You, no way.”

“Astasia is a hostage.”

Even though there is a good relationship between Gibraltar’s eldest son and granddaughter, if the empire one day starts a war against the kingdom.

“I will seduce Astasia and take time.”

That will be the day when the crown prince’s patience runs out.

“Even if she gets married, if she doesn’t have children.”

What the empire wants is for the blood of Gibraltar and the blood of the imperial family to mix.

“Until you realize that you have no intention of having children, you will never think of starting a war.”

Buy time by going against the common sense of the kingdom and empire, or rather, the ‘world.’

“Father.”

No one would ever think of it.

“If you fall in love and get married, everyone will assume that you will naturally have children.”

“…”

“How much more so the eldest son of Gibraltar and the imperial granddaughter of the empire? The empire would absolutely want this. They would even try to make the child born like that the next emperor. But.”

Using an unborn child as a hostage gives him time to gain the strength to kill the emperor.

“Just because you love someone doesn’t mean you have to have a child, right?”
