NovelEnglish“How could naive, young, aristocratic ladies who grew up preciously as their household’s gem be able to handle me?”
“It..it happened!”
“Hurry up and bring some water over!”
Aidan leisurely passed over the chaos he had created, and brought up another topic: ‘‘Marriage with me? Don’t you find those young ladies pitiful?’’ he added. The detestable face underneath his eyelashes was the final nail to the coffin.
Julian let out a sigh as he watched Aidan hold a cigarette between his lips.
A few months ago, Julian had decided to use a hard-line policy against Aidan, who wouldn’t respond no matter how many marriage offers he sent him.
He sent Count Simmar and his third daughter to the Valentine Estate without notice. The excuse was that Lady Simmar was inherently weak, but the goal was clear.
It was for the couple to fall in love with each other. Even if they didn’t have any interest in each other, since the Emperor’s intent was so definite, they were expected to pretend they couldn’t win against his wishes and marry each other.

Overnight, Lady Simmar was left to enjoy her sanatorium. She wasn’t even to say a single word to the Grand Duke as she spent her days alone and it was said she had returned to her estate immediately.
But afterward, Aidan, whom they’d lost all contact of, had shown up as if to taunt them. At this point, the Emperor started to grow obstinate.
“Did Lady Simmar not satisfy you?”
“Unfortunately, I’ve never seen her before.”
“If there’s anyone, whom my dear brother likes, we will proactively push ahead for a marriage.”
“I have no interest in anyone.”
“If it’s really that difficult, didn’t I request that you at least date a gentle lady previously? It doesn’t matter who it is.”
“I don’t wish to.”
Aidan was a person whose emotions and ambitions were rather dull. To the point that an ordinary love life was unimaginable.
The vast majority of royals and aristocrats had a suspicious corner, but Aidan was different from the very beginning. When one conversed with him, he appeared to be a monster who pretended to be human.
Instead of a monster, he seems like an abandoned sword.
Just like how people shivered in fright as the sharp edge of the sword flashed in front of their eyes and caused them to drop to their knees and beg for mercy.
Did he change after the previous Emperor had passed away? No, did he start to change little by little before that?
Julian was regretful that Aidan had changed like this. There had been a time when they had called each other brother and teased, played, and laughed a lot with each other, though it all seemed like a dream.
He had hoped that his brother might be able to find his humanity if he could just find a woman to live next to him and share her warmth.
“Please just grab anyone and date them!”
“It isn’t my preference to play with the feelings of others and act deceitfully. I would rather kill them if ordered to kill.”

Only
Julian wasn’t able to hide his mixed feelings. His expression wondered what he should do with a prodigal brother with such a clear conviction.
He gestured with a hand and the servants and maids all retreated, and he stood up. Aidan smiled softly in response to the anger of the Emperor as the latter approached him. Of course, it was only soft from his perspective, and others only saw a strange smile that made them embarrassed.
“Even though dear brother has all those chaotic rumors surrounding him, aren’t you clean in all matters women?”
“So?”
“So we can use that to put to sleep a portion of brother’s notoriety.”
“Hmm…….”
Together with the smoke he inhaled, Aidan let slip a low sound and focused on the Emperor. It was a gaze that would send a fiver up any other person’s spine.
“If you continue to be stubborn, then I can’t help but use a hard policy method.”
