Villainess Is Changing Her Role To A BroCon
chapter-92

Ekaterina’s POV

Yeah, I heard that there are no monkeys living in the Yurigran Imperial Kingdom. I heard that there are many of them in the southern countries, and they are sometimes kept as pets in the Imperial Kingdom.

Even in my previous life, I imagined monkeys to be found in tropical rainforests and hot places, and I was sure there were very few to be found in Europe. Japanese monkeys do take hot spring baths and drink monkey wine in the snow (Not Confirmed), but they were an exception to the rule.

Alexei reached out and brushed Ekaterina’s hair, stroking it down slowly.

“If there is a forest where such beautiful creatures live in groups, I would abandon my dukedom and live there. I would build a small house and live there happily, looking up at the tree tops all day long without even stepping outside. So I can’t call you a monkey, my Queen of the Night. Because I want you by my side, not up among the trees.” (Alexei)

“My, I’m honored, Big Brother.” (Ekaterina)

The siscon filter is kicking in again today!

“It’s very unusual for Big Brother to say something like that.” (Ekaterina)

“I don’t joke around. It’s not in my nature to do so.” (Alexei)

Alexei kept a very straight face as he replied.

Nikolai groaned.

“…Hey, Duke, wait a minute. How can you speak of such embarrassing things so easily?” (Nikolai)

“That’s a funny thing to say. I’m apparently not very good at putting what I have in mind into words. I am aware of it.” (Alexei)

“No, you’re rather too good at it. You’re not even aware that you’re not self-aware—Is it obvious, or am I talking out of my mind?” (Nikolai)

Nikolai puts a hand to his forehead.

“No, there was a tendency from the beginning,” Mikhael answers Nikolai and says, “Lately I’m having trouble polishing my skills in this area, it would be a good idea to learn…I guess I’ll have to imitate him on this stuff.”

Mikhael’s expression seems to have an unusually restless look on it.

No, Prince, don’t try to emulate him.

You might be able to do it, though. Your father, the Emperor’s rhetorical skills, were on a par with Big Brother’s.

But I want you to be your own character, be your own self.

Olga-chan looks a bit red, while Flora-chan is smiling as usual.

And Marina-chan, why is she covering her face with both hands? I can see that she’s staring at me between her fingers. Hey, some cats aren’t doing their job.

I’m sorry for upsetting everyone with Big Brother’s siscon attitude.

But I’m going to make it to the top of the brocon list, too!

3rd POV

“The Ancient Dragon has left us, sir.”

The day after the test results were announced, the oldest member of the duke’s administration, the chief forest farmer Forli, appeared in his office for the first time in a long time and said so.

Ekaterina couldn’t help but gasp at the mention of the giant dragon, Ancient Dragon, that had been lingering in the forests of Duke Yurinova’s domain for the past few months. If he transforms into a human, he will become the hidden target of the Otome Game, the Demon Dragon King Vlad Fallen.

It can be said that he has finally made his move.

Ekaterina’s POV

Flora-chan had cleared the event, so it’s not like he’s going to march into the Imperial Capital on the route to the destruction of the empire, right? I don’t think they’ve made a move on the hidden attack route!? I don’t know what the assault method is, so I can’t make a judgement!

“Forli, are you sure?”

“I saw it with my own eyes, sir.”

The white-haired Forli, who still looked like a seasoned warrior, nodded his tanned face at Alexei’s words.

No, Forli-san, where and how did you see the oldest and strongest Ancient Dragon leave?

That’s amazing, you really are a wildlife expert, aren’t you?

However, Forli continued to tell us how it happened.
