I Accidentally Saved The Male Lead’s Brother

to understand Ellie’s heart, even just a little bit.

 

She would do anything for her sick brother.

 

But that’s it.
He understood a bit, but he had no intention of showing mercy.

 

“And the captured assassins have not yet been questioned.
I confiscated the poison they hid in their mouths.
Shall we interrogate the two?”

 

“I’ll go by myself.”

 

Carcel’s walked stomping on the report that had fallen to the ground.
Naturally, Chase followed him.

 

But Celine did not follow them, and stood there licking her lips.

 

Chase felt strange and asked.

 

“Lady Celine? Won’t you be coming? I think you should come and explain everything to the master.”

 

“The thing is… .”

 

When Selene sighed, Carcel stopped his steps and looked back.
He raised his chin as if asking him to speed up.

 

“Master, actually….”

 

Celine hesitated and then closed her eyes tightly.

’

 

“Miss Lannia knows about this!”

 

“…what ?”

 

Carcel replied a little late, wondering if what he had heard was true.

 

Celine quickly began to explain, cold sweat dripping down her forehead.

 

 

“Miss was faster than I imagined and noticed that there was a female spy among the maids.”

 

Charlotte asked Celine to keep it a secret from Carcel, but she kept feeling uncomfortable.

 

It also bothered her that she had deceived her esteemed master and that she had allowed a helpless Charlotte to meddle in the matter.

 

Even if she was punished, it was her pleasure because she was not a liar.

 

….
I made a promise like that to her, but after Carcel had been quiet for so long, she started to get worried.

 

 

He looked indifferent on the outside but was kind to his people.
At the same time, when there’s a problem, he gets cold enough to throw anyone away relentlessly.

 

What kind of behavior will it cause? She wondered if she would be fired.

 

Celine was assuming the worst, but what he asked was something different from what she was expecting.

 

“Was it the miss’s idea to deceive the assassins by providing different information to the maids?”

 

“That’s right, the miss and her maid helped me get to the maid quickly.”

 

“What kind of strategy did you use?”

 

Celine explained today’s process while swallowing dry saliva.

 

The fact that Charlotte and Theo leaked information to the three maids that they were on their way to different places, and that the knights were lurking around.

 

As he listened to the explanation, his face became visibly stiff.

 

“Was the miss in the carriage?”

 

“No, she just rode it when she left, but with Lord Ahin’s help she could move into the palace again, there was no one in the carriage when it was attacked.”

 

’

“Have you ever thought that if something went wrong it could have been dangerous for her?”

 

A low sound leaked through his tightly closed mouth.

 

Sweat oozed out from Selene’s palm, thinking that Carcel was not in a good mood right now.

 

“I did, I tried to stop the miss, but she kept insisting that she should go by herself and said that it would be fine as long as she was with Lord Ahin.”

 

  

As soon as he heard the answer, Carcel felt heat writhing in his stomach.

 

He was angry.
He was also angry at Celine who couldn’t keep a secret and made things like this happen.
But he was also angry at Charlotte who had been involved in such a dangerous thing.

 

If something happens to Charlotte, Theo’s safety cannot be guaranteed.

 

Didn’t we have a solid plan to keep Charlotte safe?

 

But that wasn’t the case with Carcel’s mind now.

 

‘Is Miss Lannia not precious to me?’

 

Even having a pot hit her on the head instead of Theo, he simply thought Charlotte was an amazing person.

 

She is kind to everyone, and when others were in trouble, she stepped forward as if it were her own business.
She also presented him with a handkerchief, and it showed her sincerity.

 

However, after she tried to prevent Theo’s body from being injured by a broken sword during training not long ago, he interfered with it himself.

 

This is not simply explained by the word ’empathy’.

 

Carcel did not know why he was so angry at her sacrifice.

 

Her attitude of not being proud of herself kept bothering him.
He couldn’t control his emotions even though he knew there was no reason to be angry with Charlotte.

 

Carcel, who managed to control his anger by taking a deep breath, asked Celine to go for the time being.

 

Head to the third floor of the palace, not to the underground prison outside the palace.

 

Charlotte came out of Theo’s room.
As she walked out of the room she felt a movement and then turned around.

 

“Duke?”

 

Unlike him, who had a lot of ideas, she seemed more refreshed, probably because the spy problem that was annoying was solved.

 

“Can I talk to you for a second?”
