My Sister the Heroine, and I the Villainess – Chapter 19

Translator: Jawbrie

Mishuli and Charles’ fight resulted in all three of us being a little worse for wear, but overall uninjured. Of course, this was only after my efforts to stop their fighting, which included attempts to soothe and then to scold them, and sometimes restrain them. Thanks to all of this, Charles was completely exhausted when it came time for him to leave.

How tired was he? Let me put it this way.

“Prince Charles, it is about time we return to… Oh?”

“You are finally back, Oxe…”

Oxe’s arrival had looked like the coming of the savior to him.
The two who had started the fight, Charles and Mishuli, were now sitting with sulky expressions and facing away from each other.

I myself was much too tired to give a detailed explanation, and so I pushed Charles onto Oxe before he could ask anything.

“Nevermind. Just take Charles and leave…”

“Ah. I won’t argue with that, as it is why I have come… But, my lady’s and Prince Charles’ clothes look rather disheveled.”

“Don’t ask.”

It would be most tiresome to explain.
As my face would have indicated, I was tired and just wanted this moment to be over with. Yet Oxe seemed to have mistaken me as he happily ‘Hoho’ -ed.

“Oh, were you children play fighting with swords? Ha ha ha! It is very good to be so energetic! I do think it’s good for children to be ungovernable to a certain extent. Do you not agree, Duke Noir!”

“Ah, that is true, Oxe! I am quite troubled by Christina’s actions on a daily basis, but viewing them as proof of her good health allows me to see them in a kinder light!”

“Indeed! I too am constantly surprised by Prince Charles’ unusual actions, but… Ohh. Who might this young lady be?”

“Ah, she is my daughter, Mishuli. This one is much better behaved. She is still a little shy, but she is a good child who really cares about others!”

The two adults seemed to be drunk on something.
I could not help but scowl as I saw them continue to be senselessly cheerful and strong headed in the face of clear signs of fighting.

What were they doing? No, I knew that they were enjoying a drink or two in father’s study, but it appeared that they had not stopped there. Drinking was a part of hospitality for nobles, but this surpassed the limit. Especially Oxe, was he not supposed to be taking care of Charles? What was he thinking?

“….Hahhh.”

I thought such things but discarded them with a sigh. Let me say it again. I am very tired. I had used up all of my energy in order to push Charles’ head down and to comfort Mishuli.

I did consider that Oxe would likely be berated, should he return to the palace in this state, but that was not my responsibility.
And so I raised my head and glared at the two foolish adults and said:

“I don’t care about any of this. Would you hurry up and just do your job?”

“!?”

My low roar that was full of resentment was enough to make the shoulders of these two grown men shiver.

After my threat, Oxe promptly returned to his duties and took Charles away. When I and father were seeing them off, Charles turned around and said, “We will meet again, won’t we?” much like he had before.
