The Northern Grand Duke's Hamster|북 부대공의 햄스터 (English Translation/Unofficial)

Chapter 15

“Maybe he didn’t want the two of you to be upset?”

People who were gathered around looked at us as if we had said something so absurd.

It was expected, of course. Who doesn’t know the reason Belial came to the North? It wasn’t enough to just send aristocrats and find trouble with the estate, the imperial family came forward and wanted to find fault by themselves.

Kyle’s biological mother, as written in , was a commoner who ended her life as a maid, not being able to be recognized by the imperial family, nor even buried with a grave. For Belial, who’s a prince and a member of the imperial family, Kyle’s existence itself is an insult to his so-called noble bloodline.

I understand it’s hard to accept the situation. His biological father suddenly got someone other than his mother pregnant and made him accept that child as his brother. If we were bound my original world’s laws, you’d be stoned to death. But still, that isn’t Kyle’s fault.

(*//They're half brothers)

Belial turned his head to look at Sen.

“Because it will make me upset?”

Sen picked up the bag of walnuts from the floor and said calmly.

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Belial looked at me this time. He stared at me with questioning eyes, ‘Is that really the case?’

I don’t know. I don’t know what Sen meant; we didn’t talk about this before. But I smiled at him, hopefully making him believe Sen more.

Fortunately, Sen continued.

“There will be a flower-giving event at the banquet, which marks the final day of the Northern festival.”

“And?”

“People who attend the event are supposed to give flowers to someone they love and respect. The people of Blake will naturally offer their flowers to their master, Lord Kyle.”

'There was something like that?’

The system quickly answered my question.

[ A crooked smile lay on Belial’s face. His eyes scanned the large yet empty straw basket next to him. The basket next to Kyle was filled up to the brim with white flowers. Not a single symbol of respect was given to him. It was as expected. This is why he needed to get rid of Kyle and get rid of the North as a whole. ]

’… This was more dangerous than I thought.’

There’s no reason to hate Kyle that much, there’s also no reason to hate people who just want to make a good living. You can’t really judge people based on their faces. You may look good, but your personality is dirty.

“This is basically a tradition in the North. I’m worried that Your Highness will be hurt.”

“Hmm.”

Belial didn’t seem interested in me anymore, he passed by me and went directly to Sen.

Although the plot of the story must’ve been changed, it is true that their fates are intertwined, and they’re bound to form a relationship. Belial’s gaze at Sen looked unusual.

However, it was a misleading gaze. It wasn’t an 'I fell in love at first sight’ look… It was a gaze that felt so hot it could burn.

'A look of possessiveness?’

That’s right, it felt like a desire to win, rather than love.

“What’s that you’re carrying?”
