Chapter 39: Chapter 39

Chapter 39 – The older brother has changed

Translator: Kay

Based on the original, I already expected that the three men were the heroes.

Now that two of them were concluded as a junk car and nuclear waste, there was only one person left who could be trusted.

Amongst the three, Constantine was relatively the sanest.

However, I couldn’t meet him because he was bound to the temple.

Even during the Empire’s Foundation Day celebrations, he appeared briefly at the ceremony and disappeared, so there was no time to observe him.

I heard that even after the religious war in the Empire came to an end, civil wars were still happening everywhere, so they were busy suppressing it.

It was best to get him out of the way before he awakened.

But frankly, considering the genre of the novel, I had no expectations that he would give up.

For more,

Firstly, to be able to like someone or not, I had to have someone. Moreover, so far, there was no reason for me to like or love someone.

Love cells? It’s already been a long time since they died in me.

“I just think he’s a good man…….”

“A good man?!”

I was planning to bring them to our side, and I was about to explain, but Claudia cut me off in the middle.

“Who’s this b*stard…… No, who is he?”

Chloe, did you just try to curse at the man?

She looked like she was about to shout but took a deep breath and returned to a calm voice.

I had no choice but to hesitate about how I should introduce him.

Well, actually, he was a minor character who could help us avoid death.

But I couldn’t be honest about it because he was a person who had no contact or relationship with me in the first place.

“That’s not what I mean. I just have a rare feeling that he’s a good person, so I want to get to know him.”

In this novel, it was hard to find such a person with this concept without blood or tears. So if possible, I wanted to attract him to the same side.

In this case, before he met the same tragic fate as the original.

“Chloe.”

But not too far away, we heard Felix’s voice. It was a distinctive soft tone that was sweet and light.

We turned our heads at the same time. Felix approached us at a leisurely pace and stopped near the palm tree where we were before he spoke.

“Mother’s calling for you.”

“Huh.”

Claudia exclaimed, ‘Why now!’

She had a disgruntled expression, but she sighed as she thought she couldn’t help it.

“Let’s talk again later.”

She declared war with a voice filled with an indomitable will to find out who I was talking about no matter what and then disappeared.

Oh, well, it looks like she didn’t like it.

Whether she liked it or not, it must have been surprising since it was the first time I had expressed interest in the opposite gender.

Felix took the outer garment from the servant waiting beside me and put it on my shoulder before asking.

“So who is he?”

You heard it.

When I lifted my head, I noticed that the smile on his lips was a little stiff.

Although it looked calm and still, it was just like the night sea where you didn’t know when you would be engulfed by the waves.

T/N: Thanks again for your patience everyone! (It’ll be a mass upload of last week’s and this week’s chapters so please enjoy the 4 chapters!)

I didn’t repeat any footnotes that I made previously (hopefully you’re all okay with that!). Anyway hope you enjoy the upcoming chapters cause things to ramp up…! (In case you didn’t notice it, the chapter title’s name: The older brother has changed) ఠ_ఠ

1. This is an intention name derived from the slang “I get you”.↩

2. If something ‘makes the world (go round)’ it means it is very important that many ordinary events cannot happen without it.↩

3. A Pokémon trainer is someone who catches, trains, cares for, and battles with Pokémons! (If you don’t know what Pokémon is, Google it. You won’t regret it! ϞϞ(๑ ․̫ ๑)∩↩

4. To ‘go to (the) ground’ means to hide from someone (similar to how a fox would escape into a burrow).↩

5. A ‘unilateral contract/agreement’ is one-sided, requiring only a pre-arranged commitment from the offeror. Typically used to make open or optional offers. The offeror promises to pay for specified acts that involve the other part e.g. insurance. The insurer = offerer, who promises to pay a certain amount if something occurs under the contract’s coverage. The offeree = the insured, who promises to pay the premium to maintain the plan and report accidents in order to receive insurance.↩

6. To ‘rack your brains’ means to think very hard and carefully about something.↩
