Betrothed to My Sister's Ex

Due to the ongoing work on volume 2’s book publication, updates have been on hold for a while.

While you wait, I’ll be sharing some small tidbits and short stories here and there, so please allow a little more time for the continuation of the main story.

【Waltz of Marie】

"I will compose an image song for Lady Marie to be danced at your engagement ceremony. To that end, please tell me about Lady Marie’s hobbies and daily life."

"Um... I just arrived at this castle, so what I can talk about is mostly my life back at my family home..."

"—Thank you for waiting, Count Granado. Lady Marie’s image song has been completed, so we will now perform it. The title is... ‘Hell from Morning.’"

"Can anyone actually dance to that?!"

【The Horse’s Name】

"Lord Ruifeng’s beloved horse has an interesting name. Who named it?"

"Of course, it was me! ...Well, I’d like to say that, but actually that’s the second choice. The original name was completely different, but Cyrus didn’t like it and forced me to change it. Since I couldn’t think of a name on the spot, I just picked something nearby."

"I see. That means Lord Cyrus was a bit overbearing... What was the first name?"

"Cyrus, Mio, Ryuu-Ryuu, and Alfred."

"That’s... no good at all..."

【The Sturdy Young Lady】

"By the way, Marie, you mentioned before that you used to keep a donkey. You used it instead of a carriage, right?"

"Yes, its name was Donki. But that was five years ago... It had been with the family since I was born. It was cute and dependable..."

"I see... that must have been sad."

"Yes... it was delicious."

"............Oh, you mean that..."

"But right after Donki, we immediately bought a cow."

"Oh, a cow cart. Cows are cute."

"Honestly, Donki tasted better."

"So it’s that again~~..."

【Lord Cyrus’s Suspicion】

"Ruifeng... before, you said it hurt at first and didn’t feel good at all... Was that a lie?"

"Yeah, I probably said it badly, so I’ll explain calmly without laughing. That was a girl’s story."

【Miss Mio’s Raid】

"Mio, that raid was a bit too much. I wanted to keep things peaceful... so why did you throw the baron out the window?"

"The ground below was soft earth and grass. Falling from the second floor wouldn't kill him."

"That’s no reason to throw him out."

"I just wanted to try throwing someone once..."

"That’s refreshingly personal grudge."

【The Enigmatic Toppo】

"Hello, good children~ This is Miss Tunic. Today, among the uniquely eccentric servants of Granado Castle, I want to ask the especially peculiar Head Chef Toppo some questions~"

"Okay! I’ll answer anything except my real name and nationality!"

"Ah, already very suspicious. First, your age?"

"Same as Johan."

"... Okay, next. Your height and weight?"

"Between 140 cm and 180 cm. Between 60 kg and 120 kg."

"What’s with those ‘between’ answers? Now, the question everyone’s curious about: your romantic history!?"

"Do you remember how many loaves of bread you’ve eaten?"

"Well then, see you next week! Thank you very much!!"
