Chapter 41: It’s going to get messy
Either way, he’ll probably use the duke’s authority to make his spiteful wishes come true this time as well.
I want to ask him how many people he thinks became unhappy in this way, but in his case, the fact that he has no idea what is wrong is irredeemable.
Frankly, I don’t think he considers anyone below nobility to be human.
My brother— no, the Kvist family is a typical aristocratic supremacy family.
They don’t care if one commoner is unhappy, or even if they die, for that matter, and they won’t feel a sliver of guilt.
My brother, in particular, is quite severe in this way of thinking, and you can see it from his words and actions of how he thinks similar things about nobles lower in rank than his family.
In the first place, Gwen, my younger brother, is not accustomed to being looked down upon, so he hated me, his older brother, who was in a higher position and could not stand the fact that he was not the best.
If a younger brother with such values were to take over the family, our ties with fellow noble families would surely disappear, and the Kvist family will become isolated. I can easily imagine a future where the Kvist family declines as if strangled by floss silk.
[TLN: Slowly.]
Our parents are still unaware of Gwen’s wickedness because of the Kvist family’s thick skull, but even if they became aware, they would say, “That’s our son! Unlike some people, you are aware of your dukedom!”
I can easily imagine them praising him.
“Hah, these idiots are going to get me in trouble…”
Imagining a future that will surely be troublesome, I sigh and leave the place before my brother finds out.
However, I am quite grateful that I came across the scene I just described before my idiot brother got into trouble and learned that the slaves he was interested in are actually mine.
It is many times better to know a problem in advance so that you can take countermeasures than to have it suddenly happen and be on the back foot.
Now, what to do about the countermeasures?
Although I know that my brother will make a move to take away my slaves, it is difficult to come up with the key ways to deal with him.
Should I just beat him up and keep him out of it? I thought about it, but in that case, my parents would make me the bad guy and throw me in jail.
Running away or resisting with force is not a good idea, as you will only end up on the wanted list.

“I see. It’s going to be a real pain.”
“That’s right. I’ve been trying to think of some good ideas, but I can’t come up with anything good. Even if he’s spoiled rotten, that brat still belongs to a royal family…”
“Then allow me to take care of it.”
