I’m the Sub Male Lead in Romance Fantasy, but I Don’t Like the Female Lead

3 – Strange Mansion

In conclusion, the ambitious information gathering was completely ruined.

As far as I know, the only ones who are certain to have attended the academy in the Grand Duke’s family are the Grand Duke and his wife. I have no reason to ask the Archduke about the academy. Just imagining the two of them talking about the academy takes my breath away.

So, instead of the Grand Duke, we found the Grand Duchess Arianna.

However, when my usually blunt son came to visit separately, our grand duchess, who was ablaze with more tension than usual, began to unravel the story of her school days before I even raised a question.

“Oh, time is already like this. Sirius, why don’t you go to sleep?”

In the end, I couldn’t get any of the information I wanted to know and had to head to my room. Somewhere near the academy, the tea is delicious and the ring is pretty, and Death doesn’t really care about these things.

Now is the end of winter, and considering that I will enter the academy with the beginning of spring, I don’t have much time left.

Even if it’s not a hidden honey lecture or genealogy, shouldn’t you know in advance what you’re learning, what system you’re running on, and so on.

A bastard whose name is the heir to the grand duke’s family enters the academy, and Gao dies if he doesn’t know anything about me or the baby boy.

After thinking for a while, I called Selene. Some of them are people I met for the first time in this world, and I always ask Selene when I have a question, so strangely, Selene is the most comfortable. It’s like a baby bird waking up from an egg following the first creature it saw… Selene Maman? In the end, I decided to borrow the power of Seleneemon again this time.

“Celene. Is there anyone in the Grand Duke’s family who knows a lot about the academy?”

“Are you talking about the academy?”

“Uh, there’s less than a month left before admission, so I wanted to find out more.”

“You haven’t shown any particular interest in the academy until now, have you?”

“…Just say yes.”

Selene looked at me for a moment with an expressionless expression. What? Are there any complaints?

“Why. Is there anything you want to say?”

“No. It’s not like that. And the only person who knows about the academy is… me.”

“What are you talking about?”

“I told you that I am the one who knows the academy you want. I graduated from the academy the year before last.”

“I see… What?!”

I was surprised by Selene’s coming out for a while, but if you think about it, there’s nothing special about her. Selene is also the daughter of a viscount, and her job as a maid requires a high standard of culture and etiquette.

Still, seeing that Selene is an alumnus, it seems that she is not a place where students drop out every year in the usual, fast-paced curriculum.

I want to decline an academy where they are put on a deserted island for a test and have them survive for a week or expelled students as if teachers and students are eating.

“What are you curious about about the academy? I will answer your questions.”

“Then, explain the basics first.”

“…? Isn’t the young master familiar with it already?”

“Because I want to hear from someone who has experienced it firsthand.”

“Ah, then I will explain admission first.”

Selene’s lengthy explanation continued.

Everyone calls it the Academy, so I wonder if this one has no name like the Empire, but it’s not like that, the official name is the Imperial Royal Academy. No, is there another meaning of royal that I don’t know about? How do the Imperial and the Royal stick together? Is it Paktong who made this setting, or am I Paktong?

Classes are conducted in the format of selecting the desired subject. There is no such thing as a special department division. It feels like a university filled only with liberal arts without majors.

Then, I was wondering where do you guys find friends, and like in high school, there are separate classes and homeroom teachers. No why? Is it consideration for aristocrats like me who are less sociable?

Of course, it is said that there is no survival on an uninhabited island or expulsion from school that I was worried about earlier. Contrary to the image that first popped into my head when I heard the name Academy, it seems to be a place for real education.

Other than that, there was nothing special about it. To be honest, I’m curious about Selene’s school days, but I’m sorry that I’m holding on until late, so I cut it off at the right place. Strange rumors might spread among the light-mouthed attendants.

“Stop. It was late, and my questions were answered roughly. It’s good to go back.”

“Yes. All right.”

After Selene bowed to me, she quietly left.

When she first heard the word academy from the mouth of the Archduke, she was a bit nervous, but it doesn’t seem necessary. Worse than that,

“Why did I forget something so important again?”

I’m not sure of the criteria that reminds me of Mikhail. The first time I woke up, I was unaware of anything. So she asked Selene this and that.

But when she actually took the class, she remembered everything she had learned before. Her swordsmanship also moved her body on its own. The same is true when dealing with the parents of this body.

I don’t know why, but I don’t think I can let her thoughts go to waste because good is good. It’s creepy to think that memories are being manipulated for unknown reasons. It is necessary to figure out why some memories do not come up and which ones come up, and what the criteria are.

It’s very difficult if you live a casual life wondering what’s going to happen, and then meet someone with a past Eun-won or forget important things.

In addition, the attitude and tone toward the grand duke and the grand duchess were automatically corrected, but that doesn’t mean that memories of being with them come to mind. In my situation, it’s just like seeing a couple I don’t know. Looking at this, it is correct to assume that other close figures, like the grand duke and his wife, will have only corrections of attitude and tone, but no memories of the person.

Until now, it has been possible to just look around, but no one knows how long it will work. I’ll have to pay more attention to my words and actions from now on.

And starting tomorrow, whenever I think of Mikhail, I’ll see if there’s anything in common. First of all, it is urgent to figure out this arbitrary memory.

–

“Brother. Are you awake?”

A maid called from outside the door. Although it is early in the morning, she is not very tired. Mikhail must have been the type who didn’t wake up in the morning.

“Uh. Woke up.”

“Yes. All right.”

The maid standing outside the door remained silent. She will be outside waiting for me to dress up and come out.

It’s something I go through every morning, but it’s a bit sloppy. It’s not a wake-up call, just asks if you woke up in the morning and waits. I’m not asking for anything big, and at least I can bring you some water.

Looking at the maids in this world, it feels like they are gritting their teeth to really minimize their contact with men.

Whew, what are you doing with these complaints? It’s not like that doesn’t change anything. It’s not like I’m really anxious to lay my hands on the maids.

I gave up and changed my clothes after taking a shower by myself.

It’s a fantasy world, but there are showers and bathtubs with hot water. I don’t know, but magic blah blah blah blah. As long as I’m enjoying the benefits, I don’t want to vomit over convenient settings or anything.

After changing into training clothes and coming out, the maid who was waiting outside the door seemed a bit surprised.

“Boss, are you really okay with that outfit?”

“What are you talking about?”

You usually wear these clothes all the time, don’t you? Is there a hole anywhere?

“I have a dinner scheduled for this morning with her fiancée, Lady Hestia von Gracia, but…”

“Today? Morning?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

“Ah… Wait a minute.”

I entered the room for a while. Some kind of event keeps crashing into this guy’s house without warning. No, if you have an important schedule like this, isn’t it right to tell it once, whether it’s last night or when you just woke up?

It’s embarrassing to suddenly receive so much information.

In fact, I’ve thought about having a fiancée. It’s hard to say with my mouth, but Mikhail is a lottery that is scheduled to win the first prize. No, it’s not a lottery, but this is the powerball level.

The only heir to the grand duke’s family is handsome and has no flaws. According to Kyle and Selene, she has a normal personality even if she is a bit blunt. There is no such thing as a good stock.

Of course, there must have been quite a few people who had their eyes on me. To be honest, I even thought of the princess.

But that’s it, I didn’t expect it to come so suddenly. In fact, being sudden is always like that in my situation, and it must have been planned in advance, but anyway, I didn’t know what to do.

I was about to change my clothes, but I hesitated. What should i wear? Still, it’s a fiancé, but is it a little too much to wear the usual clothes? It’s okay to wear formal clothes, right? But what are those clothes?

My choice, which had been creaking for a long time after my brain stopped, eventually,

“What kind of clothes do you think would look good?”

It was a maid. It seems like I keep relying on them when something I don’t know is happening, but I can’t help it. They always stick together, have a lot of culture and knowledge, and answer all questions, but not using them is stupid.

“Are you asking me to…Choose clothes?”

“Uh. I don’t know what kind of clothes would be okay in a woman’s situation. It should look good.”

The maid looks surprised again. Her pupils lose their way and she sways to and fro. No, is it so strange and surprising that she wants to look good for her fiancée?

“Well…Yes. All right. I will definitely help you to look good.”

Her eyes, which had been wandering for a while, settled down, and this time she showed excessive enthusiasm. Why is he like this really? Is she bipolar

“I don’t know what kind of wind suddenly blows, but I must take this opportunity…”

“What did you say?”

“Nothing. It would be better to prepare sooner than that.”

“Isn’t it enough time yet?”

“No. Choosing clothes is not the end. I have to get my hair done, I have to pick out my perfume, and there is a lot to do.”

After that she was embellished with a mess.

–

Bocchan is strange.

When she heard Selene from her older sister, she thought that older sister was joking too, but she got really weird.

In fact, she has become a little different rather than strange.

Hmm… Feeling like a doll has feelings?

She was once more talkative than before. In fact, even now, he hasn’t talked too much. Unless it’s absolutely necessary, there are a lot of things I’m always locked in contemplation by myself.

But now I feel like a human being. Before that, he was really quiet, so when I first met the young master, I even thought that he might be mute.

Of course, Her Majesty the Grand Duke doesn’t talk too much, but he’s a human being when he’s with the Grand Duchess Mama. Say something.

And then I came up with a facial expression. His face was always expressionless, but now he makes expressions according to the situation. Sometimes he shows a puzzled expression, or when he finishes training, he looks exhausted and exhausted.

When I think like this, I really feel like I was a doll of some kind before. A clockwork doll that moves only as it is set.

Come to think of it, it was frighteningly regular. He always got up at the same time, finished grooming at the same time, and carried out the set routine exactly. Always on time, without a single minute error.

Why didn’t anyone think it was strange? Now that I look back, it’s not that the boy has become strange, but that the boy who was strange has become fine. I’ll have to ask his sisters later. Wouldn’t the older sisters who came in before me know something?

What? What was I thinking just now?

Ah, that’s right. Bocchan got weird.

The strangest thing is what just happened. Oh my gosh, the boy said he wanted to look good for his fiancé! This is really amazing news. I want to tell my sisters soon. Would you be surprised?

It was a fact that everyone in the grand duke’s family did not know that the young master did not like his fiancé very much. He doesn’t particularly hate it, but he doesn’t like it either.

That’s also true, the young master has never shown affection for his fiancée, that is to say Lady Gracia. He never showed any emotion before affection. As if he was dealing with us, he only took a businesslike attitude.

That said, Lady Gracia isn’t someone who gets lost anywhere. Countess Gracia is a very prosperous family that is reaching out to various businesses. Lady Gracia herself, though a bit harsh, is beautiful and even has excellent knowledge, so in many ways she is an object of admiration for women of small and medium-sized aristocrats like me.

Today, our young master, who has never shown his emotions to such a young lady of Gracia! Suddenly! He wanted to look good, so he asked me to pick out clothes for him. Have you suddenly opened your eyes to love? Are you aware of your feelings?

I remembered the romance novels I read with my older sisters. It was an obvious story in which the blunt male protagonist belatedly realized his feelings and grabbed the female protagonist.

When I think of the scene in the novel, my face automatically turns red. Is the young master really like that? The faces of the young master and Lady Gracia were automatically assigned to the main characters. The two glared at each other and eventually kissed passionately…

“Kyaaak! I must be crazy, I must be crazy!”

I hope the two good boys and girls work out well. Not just me, but everyone in the mansion would be like that. I hurriedly moved to my seat, fanning my reddened face with my hand.

It’s time for Lady Gracia to come soon, so we should prepare in advance.
