He had a fishy smile around his mouth when he said he wanted to talk to me and Rex, but I don’t want to! But I don’t think I can avoid it.

Gilbert also looked mad as he didn’t want to take us both. Honestly, is there an older brother who wants to play with his friend with his younger siblings? This is a bit of a different story.

Eventually Gilbert, Cameron, me and Rex headed to the drawing room together. I didn’t not because I don’t come to the drawing room often, but the drawing room was really colorful and elegantly decorated. The open window showed the beautiful garden of Conler Castle, and artworks that looked expensive were on display. There’s even a luxurious fireplace. It’s like a real rich family.…. Yeah, it’s a rich family.

Cameron flopped down comfortably on the sofa and signaled us to sit down. People might think it’s his house. However, I sat down awkwardly as if I were in another person’s house.

“We’ll be serving the tea soon.”

Gilbert broke the awkward silence that lingered for a moment. Cameron just nodded.

According to Bonita, Conler Castle rarely gets visitors. Grand Duke Estin hated noise, and there were no people who would visit. I heard he doesn’t really care even if no one visits the castle..….

Cameron didn’t look very happy to come to Conler Castle either. He didn’t even need to say anything, the look on his face was saying he was forced to do this.

“So, is this Rex Bluea?”

“……Yes, that’s right.”

“You have an interesting ability.”

Ha… Why are you so impatient to pick a fight with Rex?

When asked by Cameron, Rex, who was standing awkwardly, noticeably stiffened.

Cameron pulled his upper body leaning on the sofa forward and smiled at Rex.

“Did the Duke of Bluea sold his soul to the demon?”

“……Cameron.”

“Oh, the blood of the demon is flowing within you, anyway.”

Gilbert closed his tired eyes. He looked as if he didn’t want to talk to Cameron. I wanted to step up as I did to Baron Bruno last time, but my opponent is the first prince. I can’t stand up any more. I should go up later and give Rex the candy that I hid.

The cold silence seemed to have frozen the inside of the drawing room. Cameron leaned his upper body back again as if we were uninterested in our unresponsiveness.

“I think I’ve seen Duke Morgan Bluea a few times.”

“…….”

Duke Morgan Bluea was Rex’s father. So to me, he’s my uncle. Rex lowered his head when he heard the name.

“You don’t look alike at all.”

“He looks like his mother.”

Gilbert replied with a sigh. I remembered Rex’s smile, when he said his mother was the best in the world. I clasped Rex’s hand who was sitting next to me.

“Yeah, If it weren’t for your ability, would Duke Bluea recognize you as his own son? I heard your mother was a rural girl. Why do you think you were conceived?”

Cameron’s mouth was getting out of control. I could feel Rex’s hand trembling. Why are they so desperate to catch Rex? Those abusive remarks cut Rex’s feelings like a sharp knife.

Cameron’s behavior and tone were as elegant as a well-educated man, but his ideas were shallow. What on earth do they teach at the imperial palace that a child grew up like that?

Does Rex have to be exposed to this kind of abusive language? Because he is a manifestor with blonde hair and his mother was a commoner in the countryside.

“Cameron.”

Gilbert called Cameron. There was no emotion in the voice. It felt like he was really angry. His fixed gaze on Rex turned to Gilbert.

“Why are you calling me?”

“Stop it, Rex is my cousin.”

“Don’t you feel bad? Even if his ability manifested, half of it came from Conler.”

“Why should I feel bad?”

Gilbert asked as if he were really wondering, he crossed his legs and crossed his arms and stared at Cameron.

“I mean a guy with lowly blood manifested an ability….”

“Cameron, I’m not you.”

“……what?”

“This just proves the saying that when you look at someone, you look at them based on your inferiority complex.”

Gilbert smiled down at the end of his speech. I was also puzzled not knowing what Gilbert was saying. What do you mean inferiority complex?

“Rex isn’t Demimore, and I’m not you.”

“Gilbert, you…….”

“I’m just as talented as Rex. Why should I feel inferior to him?”

“Gilbert Conler!”

Cameron leapt to his feet looking really angry.

“Oh, is the expression ‘inferiority’ too much? Anyway, I’ve never felt what you felt about Demimore.”

Yes, Demimore was often ignored by the Conler’s for being half-hearted man in the novel. However, Demimore excelled in swordsmanship and he is intelligent, and later, when Demimore became a manifestor, Cameron almost went crazy.

Compared to the relaxed Gilbert, Cameron was still standing and glaring at Gilbert. I felt like he was going to explode at any moment. Lucas and Cameron’s aides are out looking around the castle. Can Gilbert beat Cameron one-on-one?

Knock knock, then someone knocked on the drawing room door.

“Come in.”

“…….”

“It must be the tea. Aren’t you going to sit down?”

Even in Gilbert’s words, Cameron was just standing and staring at Gilbert. The door to the drawing-room opened and…… Carol? Why is Carol coming out there?

Carol was coming with a teapot and a tray of tea sets in her trembling hands. How could they make a person who’s been nervous for a week serve us? I put my finger on the forehead.

It was clear that Bonita and other maids were organizing the First Prince’s bedroom and preparing dinner. Well, the first prince has a lot of luggage……. I guess the only remaining made was carol.

Contrary to my worries, Carol made it to the sofa where we were. But when he saw Cameron standing in front of the table, she looked troubled. Should I ask him to move a little for Carol?

“Ack!”

“What the?”

Cameron’s sudden turn caused Carol to miss the tray and part of the tea in the teapot splashed on Cameron. Well, Carol spilled tea three times in front of me. It’s probably a little hot because of thermal magic. But who told you to stand there?

“I’m, I’m sorry!”

“Are you out of your mind?”

“I’m so sorry, Your Highness.….”

“Aren’t you going to kneel?”

Surprised by Cameron’s rant, Carol knelt in a hurry. Why are you so angry when you’re the one who bumped into Carol? Gilbert, too, seemed quite surprised by Cameron’s recklessness.

Rex, who was the first to come to his senses, took out his handkerchief and approached Cameron.

“Get your dirty hands off me!”

But before he could wipe it off, Cameron hit Rex’s hand roughly. I was getting angry at his rudeness. No matter how ignorant you are, is it okay to act like that?

“Our employee must be very nervous. I’ll apologize. I’m sorry, Cameron.”

“How do you educate them?”

Gilbert sighed deeply and apologized politely. But Cameron chewed his teeth and spoke in a ferocious manner.

“It’s because you’re standing in front …….”

“Are you saying it’s my fault?”

“What’s the matter?”

Cameron’s aide and Lucas jumped in as they heard shouts from outside. Lucas is annoying, but I was really happy to see him right now. Lucas walked in a hurry, looking at the broken tea cup, Carol on her knees, and Cameron, who was angry, he had roughly figured out the situation.

“Did you get hurt?”

“How on earth does Conler Castle train their employees?”

“I’m sorry, everything is my fault. Did you get burned somewhere? Carol, go get some ice.”

Lucas apologized politely. In the meantime, he asked Carroll, who was kneeling down, to go and bring ice. Ice in this world is really…… It’s hard to get. What’s the point of bringing ice?

“Where are you going?”

Cameron said in a cold voice. He’s quick-witted.….

“You treat guests like this.”

“For Cameron-nim, the dinner was prepared only with food that you liked. I heard you like chicken dishes in wine so much. While we prepare it, would you like to take emergency measures with ice and rest in your room? Please forgive me just this once.”

Lucas explained the dinner in a friendly voice to appease Cameron. Lucas has never comforted me like that, I can’t believe he’s consoling a fifteen-year-old like that……. Cameron’s aide, standing next to him, looks tired. I’m already sick and tired of watching him for about an hour, so how about his assistant who has to stay next to him most of the time?

When Lucas said that, I thought Cameron would definitely say yes and move on.

“Bring me the whip.”

But Cameron…… This punk wasn’t normal.
