I’ve Been Reincarnated as a Villainess’ Older Brother

hat since he was able to do so much on his own, perhaps she had neglected him, a bit.
Maybe, since he wasn’t getting enough love, he was making up for it by pouring his own love into Diana. 

When she thought of the situation in this light, Elise decided that once they returned home, she would have to give him some loving attention and spoil him, a little bit.

“And what kind of girls do you like, Cain?” asked Elise, “If you’re thinking of getting married, that is.”

“I suppose it would be someone who can love Diana with me and someone who wouldn’t be envious of me putting Diana first,” said Cain. 

“…Are you really serious about getting married?” asked Elise. 

“Are you getting married, Bwother?” asked Diana. 

“Some day.
Not any time soon.
I’m going to be your older brother for a little while longer and stay by your side,” said Cain. 

“Should Di be Bwother’s wife?” asked Diana, tilting her small head to the side and looking up at Cain. 

Light shined in through the window behind Diana, and within the carriage, flowers bloomed and burst into a flutter of petals, while butterflies danced around.
Angels flew about, playing their blessed trumpets and casting rose petals about.
A warm, spring breeze blew by, gently, and lightly stirred Diana’s hair.
From her back erupted a pair of white wings, and they spread out behind her. 

“Cain, get a hold of yourself,” said Elise.
“We’ll be arriving at the royal palace shortly.
Diana, you make sure you protect your Brother’s dignity.
Don’t get too sweet with him.”

“Degnitee?” asked Diana. 

“If you want your Brother to look good, you will not be sweet to him in public,” said Elise. 

“Okay!” said Diana.

The carriage passed under the gates of the royal palace, and they arrived at a large building that served as the queen’s reception area for guests. 

When they entered this reception area, the queen was right there, before them. 

The queen was about the same age as Mother, and while the clothes that she wore were elegantly simple, the one-piece dress she had on was made of a cloth of the highest quality, and it glimmered brilliantly.
She wore an armband on her shoulder with the royal emblem of the two wolves embroidered on it, and so anyone could identify her as the queen upon first glance. 

“You must be Cain and Diana,” said the queen.
“I’ve been looking forward to meeting you two.”

“Please allow me to thank you for permitting us to participate in this meeting.
It is an absolute honor that you bestow upon us with your presence,” said Cain.

“Pemitting us perticipate thank honor you for us present,” said Diana. 

Cain bowed deeply and politely, and Diana followed suit, dipping her head down, a little awkwardly.
When she bowed, her arms extended and pointed back, behind her. 

The queen laughed gently and said, “How proper you both are.
However, these embroidery meetings are informal affairs.
Please, raise your heads.”

The kind way with which she laughed was fitting for the mother of this nation.
Her demeanor was overflowing with affection. 

Since neither the king nor the queen ever appeared in the game, this really was the first time Cain had ever met her.
It was hard to believe that this loving woman’s child had the potential to give Diana away just because he fell in love with someone new.
It actually brought up some very complicated feelings within Cain. 

“Hello, Your Highness,” said Elise. 

“Hello, Elise,” the queen replied. 

Cain saw the queen and Mother exchange these casual greetings and thought that this really was an informal event. 

“Is it really all right to be speaking so informally before the queen?” asked Cain. 

“Everyone here has a rank of Marquis or higher, and so it’s fine,” said Mother.  

They called it informal, but it was still a gathering of highborn noble girls who had had manners drilled into them from a young age. 

Along with Mother, Cain took a seat at a round table, where chairs were set up all the way around it.
The reception room was large and looked out on a yard.
Half of the room was set up like a greenhouse, as the walls and roof were all made of glass.
Perhaps because they were expecting many children to attend, a large, fluffy rug was laid out across the room, and picture books and building blocks were set up, all around. 

After making sure Cain was comfortably sat, Mother nudged Diana forwards, telling her to go play with the other children her age. 

She ran over to the other children who had already arrived and started playing.
She exchanged greetings with them and began to mingle.
Cain looked on with a miserable look on his face. 

“Diana needs friends her age, too, you know,” said Mother. 

“I understand, Mother.
I will do my best to master embroidery, for Diana’s wedding day,” said Cain. 

Once most of the seats at the round table were taken, the queen formally greeted all those present, and the embroidering session officially began.
