Villainess Is Changing Her Role To A BroCon
chapter-177

Rozen bowed, and the knights of the Order who followed him smiled and bowed to the noble ladies.

“If a knight’s duty is to protect his lord and lady, then a lady’s duty should be to show charity to her people.”

Alexei smiled at his sister.

“You are kind to everyone without any discrimination. You are beautiful, wise, merciful, and the best of the ladies.”

Ah, this will be the first time a siscon filter was shown to the old power in the territory.

“I just want to be a sister worthy of Big Brother, that is all. Our citizens are only welcoming to me because of Big Brother’s and all of your people’s excellent governance.”

Oh no, I wanted to show off my brocon too, but this was just a fact. I must be more diligent and master the art of brocon!

Ekaterina covered her mouth with her fan and glanced at the Novadine father and daughter.

“I wonder how old that young lady is. I’d like to talk to her when she can learn to greet me properly.”

I muttered while chuckling softly.

Unaware of it, her gaze turned into a kind of wistful glare. Keira’s eyes widened in rage, but her father, Ishdol, couldn’t help but smile.

Ekaterina, however, had already turned her back on them, and was now yielding her hands to her brother’s escort.

“Come on, Ekaterina.”

“Yes, Big Brother.”

The duke and his sister, accompanied by their men, left behind all of their old associates and entered their own castle with dignity.

Morning at Yurinova

Next morning.

This is the room, or rather the floor, where I once spent six months as a shut-in. In addition to the bedroom with the huge bed, there was a study, a guest room, a room for music and other hobbies, and a wardrobe room.

“Good morning, Young Lady.

“Good morning, Mina.”

Having just woken up, Ekaterina smiled at Mina, the maid, who came in pushing the wagon.

“How was last night?”

“Thanks to you, I slept well. It’s much cooler and more comfortable here than in the Imperial City.”

“Then I’m glad.”

“Isn’t Mina tired?”

“There was nothing to be tired of.”

Mina said nonchalantly, but a lot had happened since yesterday.

After entering the mansion, the Yurinova siblings were greeted by the main servants.

Ekaterina, who had barely spoken a word in the six months since her mother’s death, was beaming as she greeted them. Alexei’s gentle gaze on his sister was a shock to them.

[Young Lady…I am glad to see you are doing so well.]

Novarus, the main residence’s old butler, became moist under his white brow. He, too, was from a branch of the family, and the first lord he served was Grandfather Sergei’s father, in other words, the great-grandfather of Ekaterina and her family. Since then, he has served four generations of dukes, and is truly the living embodiment of Yurinova Castle.

[I am sorry for the worry I have caused you.]

As Ekaterina lowered her gaze, Alexei gently placed his hand on his sister’s shoulder.

[After such a painful experience, it’s no wonder you didn’t recover for so long. I’m the one who should be sorry.]

[I’m sure Big Brother was going through the same thing. Please do not say so.]

Ekaterina placed her own hand on Alexei’s hand.

[When you do that, it’s as if Lord Alexandre and his wife are standing right here]

Anna, the head maid, muttered something that appeared to be unintentional. This was a plump woman, with hair that had once been bright scarlet but had now turned half-white, who had also served the duke for a long time.

And there was another woman staring silently at Ekaterina. Lysa, the housekeeper who manages the female servants. She was a tall, thin woman with dark purple hair that was almost black and purple eyes that were a lighter shade of purple than her hair.

[I command you to serve Ekaterina as you served the Princess. She is the mistress of Yurinova until Ekaterina is married or I take a wife.]

When Alexei finished, all of the servants bowed respectfully.
