VTGWH 515

"Are you sure you want to go with this plan?"

Big brother Albert looked at me with an anxious expression on his face.

Frankly, it might be too early to implement the plan, but I would implement the plan this evening.

In the evening I told my brothers about my rough plan. The three of them listened to me to the end, though their expressions became more and more complicated.

Perhaps I should have planned more carefully, but there was not much time for that.

I would be leaving Duelkis Kingdom soon.... I would like to solve this problem before going to the Kingdom of Ravaal.

Besides, the purpose of this plan was not to actually "blow up the royal palace!" but "Meet Julie-sama!" I could not postpone the date of execution of the plan.

If we postpone the date of the plan, or go now, it wouldn't make any difference.

"Yes. Let's use dark magic to sneak into the royal palace."

I smiled and got into the carriage.

After that, my brothers got into the carriage with me. Big brother Henry sat next to me, with big brother Albert and big brother Alan in front of me.

All four of us were wearing hooded cloaks. We couldn't see their faces because of the color that blends in with the darkness.

How nice to look like a bad guy! And I could not believe that I would make my brothers accomplices in this! 

I wish someone would write down what happened tonight. I want someone to write down that I have been planning to blow up the royal palace with all three of my brothers involved! 

And I didn't care about the original meaning of the word. However, I would be making history as Alicia Williams' villainess in this time period.

That was what I've been working so hard for! 

"Are you scared?"

I asked Big brother Alan, who had been silent for a long time.

"No, strangely enough, I'm not afraid. I'm just...no, I'm surprised that I'm not afraid of committing a major crime."

"...There's nothing to be afraid of now that I'm here, is there?"

I said quietly.

Alicia Williams's presence removed the fear in her brothers.

After all, it was because of my presence, right? 

As long as this villainess accompanied them, they would not be afraid of anything bad. I could take the blame for everything.

Big brother Alan laughed out loud at my words. After he finished laughing, Big brother Alan looked at me.

I froze at the look he gave me, as if he knew who I was.

"What you are carrying on your back is different."

"What?"

"I think Alicia's energy is astonishing, but I don't think I'm going to copy it. I've never wanted to change the world with my own hands. I have no complaints about spending my whole life in this not-so-large world. ...I think Alicia's justice and Liz's justice are both beautiful. It's just that it's not admiration, it's respect."

Big brother Alan's voice echoed through the carriage.

Everyone was silent and listening intently to his words. I looked at Big brother Alan and called out the name of the brother who was not Big brother Alan.

"...Big Brother Henry."

"What?"

"I just realized for the first time that Big Brother Henry and Big brother Alan really were twins."

"...Me too."

It was a warm voice.
