I Accidentally Saved The Male Lead’s Brother

Why did he have such an atmosphere? Is it possible that the child he loves is sick?

 

He was a man whose face she doesn’t know, not even his name.
Charlotte forgot that man as the rain stopped and continued enjoying the festival.

 

But sometimes on a rainy day she suddenly remembered that day.

 

Is the child okay?

 

‘Thinking about it, the bear that day looked like the one with Theo.’

 

When Charlotte first came home, she proudly remembered the teddy bear shape that Theo had shown her the first time.
But then she shook her head.

 

No way .
I can’t imagine Carcel walking around alone at this festival, it must be just a similar teddy bear.

 

‘It should just be a similar bear.’

 

Anyway, maybe because of that memory I was able to make up my first meeting with Carcel so easily.

 

“By the time the Duke came to our palace to pick up Theo, we got to know each other.
I’ve been thinking of the man ever since, Theo.
And the Duke was like me too.”

 

Jack, who had heard Charlotte’s explanation, was not yet convinced.

 

“You said you didn’t even see his face! How did you know it was Duke Heinst?”

 

Charlotte showed the necklace that turned her neck to the two.
It was half a necklace that Carcel gave me.
After that day, I tied it with a thread and hung it like a necklace for fear of losing it.

 

“On that day, that man dropped the necklace.
I picked it up and kept it, and the Duke had the other half of the necklace, so I recognized him.”

 

“You didn’t tell us you took it!”

 

“I didn’t say this because I didn’t have to.”

 

Jack approached Charlotte and looked at the necklace directly in front of him.
Whether this necklace was really from Carcel or not, he couldn’t determine its origin.

 

However, Charlotte had said that she saw the Grand Duke wearing the necklace, so he couldn’t say anything.

 

This time he laughed about something else.

 

“What did you say? I told you that the people of the capital are crooks!”

 

From the start, Jack had no intention of agreeing to this engagement.
He didn’t like the fact that his younger sister might suddenly get married, but the other party was Duke Heinst.

 

He believed that his younger sister was the most beautiful, the best, and the most capable in the world.
But now he sees it objectively.

 

’

Charlotte was not good enough to be betrothed to Duke Heinst.
It wasn’t Charlotte’s problem, it was her family’s problem.

 

There was no reason for Carcel’s betrothal to Charlotte even if he assumed several reasons.

 

Can you see the person you met two years ago again? Is it fate?

 

Charlotte didn’t know this, but Duke Heinst wasn’t someone who would believe in that kind of thing.
What does fate mean?

 

This meant that Duke Heinst had another goal.

 

“What if he has a mistress? He’s trying to make you his official wife and meet his mistress!”

 

“Jack.”

 

“Why? Did I say something that shouldn’t be said?”

 

It was something he couldn’t say.
However, it was not that I did not understand his opinion.
Issac objected.

 

“Have you ever seen Duke Heinst get involved in a scandal? If there was a mistress, the rumors would have spread in secret.”

 

“Quiet people are more terrifying! So why is he proposing to Charlotte? Because he has a girlfriend, and he’s trying to cover it up!”

 

“It’s not like that .”

 

Despite Charlotte’s defense, Jack was skeptical.

 

“Otherwise, he would have needed someone to raise young master Heinst.
You are not a wife, you are just a nanny.”

 

Uh .
Charlotte couldn’t deny it quickly this time.

 

Although the detailed reasons varied, it was true that the engagement took place primarily because of Theo.

 

Charlotte wasn’t very good at lying, so instead of denying it she tried to change the subject.

 

“Brother, it has already been five years since you were in the capital, you are from the capital as well.”

 

“I belong to Lannia!”

 

“In this sense, the birthplace of the Grand Duke is the Duchy.
If that is your reasoning, the Duke is not from the capital either.
And why are people from the capital being deceitful? If you say that anywhere you will get in trouble.”

 

Jack, who couldn’t find anything to complain about and fell silent, then shouted again and made a commotion.

 

“Wait, what did you just say? Do you still call him a duke?”

’

 

Charlotte replied with a trembling voice.

 

“Of course, isn’t he the Duke?”

 

“The name! What do is he doing with his name?”

 

Charlotte was surprised for a moment.
She didn’t know he was referring to it, but when I heard it the whole thing sounded suspicious.

 

They were engaged regardless of whether it was on a contract, but calling some of them ‘Duke’ and ‘Miss Lannia’ seemed a bit too distant.

 

‘It looks suspicious.’

 

Emma and Irina who cried about their love didn’t have an drop of doubt.
Even Carcel, he didn’t say anything.

 

Charlotte said even though she knew this was a ridiculous excuse.

 

“It’s been less than a month since we met again.
How long was it? About two or three weeks.”

 

“One month, huh! If he’d been so quick to get engaged, feelings would have been burning but why can’t you two call each other’s names?”

 

“This …”

 

Cut off Charlotte’s words and asked.
This time, his voice was a little angry.

 

“Does the Duke call you Miss Lannia?”

 

Although it was a question, his tone of voice was almost arrogant.
When Charlotte couldn’t answer, he was convinced he was right.

 

“Why is he proposing to you? Does he even have feelings for you?”

 

“Even if he has feelings, is it wrong to call me Miss Lannia?”

 

Charlotte’s clumsy protest only inflamed Jack’s anger.
He screamed so much that his cry reverberated throughout the mansion.

 

“Man! You’re the one he loves! It’s not hard to do this!”

 

Charlotte agreed.

 

Carcel, who in the original novel was drawing a line between himself and the others, did not call Penelope by her name until he realized his feelings for her.

 

But even “she” is a Penelope, he’d called her Miss Ohen at first.
And he was calling her the lady in front of others.

 

It was only natural that Carcel was calling me Miss Lannia.

’

 

But by the way

For Jack, it doesn’t seem normal.

 

In an instant, his face turned red, and he screamed as he shook his body angrily.

 

“This engagement is invalid!”

 

Charlotte thought that the way he was shouting out loud resembled the lion seal of the Heinst family.

 

***

 

‘Even if it is invalid….’

 

Charlotte sighed, looking out the window.
He was in the field and Theo and Jack were watching the vegetables.

 

To be precise, Theo, getting excited after eating so much chocolate, drags Jack around and introduces his veggie friends.

 

“That’s beans! That’s tomatoes! That’s carrots!”

 

Jack replied coolly.

 

“I know everything, Confucius.
Most of the Lannia lands I was born in are farming.
When I came out of the palace, there were fields like this.”

 

“Uh .”

 

Charlotte sister, Hyung, and Danny complimented me for being cool.

 

Theo quickly became sullen when he did not show the desired reaction.

 

Jack looked at him and then added.

 

“Well, I’ve never seen a place so beautiful as the field of Confucius.
It’s really a field where beans, tomatoes and carrots grow at the same time, that’s great.”

 

“Truly ?”

 

“Yes, I heard Confucius watered himself.
It’s not easy, great job.”

 

“Yes! Theo gave them water!”

 

“That’s why they’ve grown so well, cherry tomatoes are so big.”

 

“Brother ,Do you want some?”

’

 

In an instant, Jack changed to “Brother”, which was a sign that Theo’s sense of remoteness had disappeared.

 

Jack, who had eaten the cherry tomatoes in one bite, said to Theo, who was waiting for an answer with a face full of expectation.

 

“Yes, it is delicious.”

 

“Yes !!”

 

Theo jumped.
The advantage increased by 10 points, resulting in a total score of -35 points.
Jack’s advantage will soon be positive. 

 

Since then, Theo’s bragging about the field has continued.
Jack listened to the child’s story insistently without hiding signs of discomfort.

 

‘You’re not being honest either.’

 

The fact that Jack was so lukewarm means that Jack also thought Theo was cute.

 

As expected, Theo had a charm that captivated people’s hearts at once.

 

“Are you sure you’re okay?”

 

Charlotte turned her head toward Issac upon hearing the voice from behind.
He was sitting on the sofa and then approached her.

 

“Jack seems to have almost understood and gotten over it, but I absolutely can’t do that.
I don’t understand why you are suddenly engaged.”

 

“I told you ….”

 

“Charlotte.”

 

Charlotte shrugged when he called her by her full name.
When we called her ‘Charlotte’ instead of ‘Lotty’ , she felt unsatisfied.
He used to call her by her name when he scolded her.

 

“Are you keeping a secret from your family?”

 

He was already assuming there was a hidden secret to this betrothal.

 

How do I deceive Isaac? Charlotte gave up on finding the answer.

 

It was impossible to deceive Isaac in the first place.
Three years ago, when I became Charlotte, he was the only one in the family who felt something strange.

 

In the end, all she could say was an obvious lie.

 

“I love the Duke.”

 

Issac’s eyes twitched slightly.
