Since that tea party, I now have the path of becoming a monk, in addition to retiring to live among the commoners, as options for my future.
"L, Lai! You're not really going to become a monk, are you!?"
"I'm not. I'm not going to. Probably."
"Really? You're really not going to become a monk!?"
"It's okay. Raimondo won't become a monk."
At that day's tea party with Federico-aniue, in the end, all the brothers gathered, but when I said the words "become a monk" at the end, the brothers panicked again and it became chaotic.
Since then, Jean-niisama has started asking me every chance he gets if I'm not going to become a monk.
"Even if I become a monk, all I'll lose is the right to inherit the throne, and it's not like I'll be removed from the family register like when I retire to live among the commoners, so you don't have to be so nervous, do you?"
That's right, I won't be leaving the royal family.
It's just that, due to training under God, I won't be able to touch meat, alcohol, or women.
It's okay, it's okay. Rather, if I don't have to worry about whether I'm a mentally lolicon or physically like mature women.
"Of course not!!"
However, Jean-niisama strongly denied that.
"Listen!? My dream is to hold Lai's child!!"
"O, oh...?"
Jean-niisama, who grabbed my shoulder tightly, began to speak with a serious face.
"Lai is the most important family to me. That's why I want Lai to be the happiest. If Lai and Bertrand-aniue hadn't found the reason why my body is weak, I might have died this year. I'm not like the Anius who can do something for Lai, but still, I don't want Lai to have to give up anything. So, holding Lai's child is my wish, but for that reason, I oppose becoming a monk? I'd support you if that's what you really wanted..."
He pouted his lips embarrassedly and turned his gaze away.
"This is just my selfish wish, but someday I want to draw a picture of Lai, Lai's wife, and their children."
I'm a brother complex who doesn't feel bad about being told that by Jean-niisama.
In any case, if Jean-niisama is going to be sad by me giving up something, I have no choice but to make the choice of becoming a monk or retiring to live among the commoners a last resort.
In other words, the option of escaping from around me, especially the machinations of my mother's Maya faction and Karina-sama's faction, is gone.
Let me be clear. It's extremely troublesome, and I don't think I can manage it on my own.
I've been in this world for a little over six years. I got carried away with the existence of magic and talked about science with Bertrand-aniue, but everything about me is ordinary except for the one point of having memories from my previous life.
I'm also better at reading people's intentions than an ordinary child, of course, because I have memories, but I can't compete with a real sly old fox in front of me.
I know science within the scope of common sense from my previous life, but I'm not familiar with it, and I don't have a good head on my shoulders.
Well, I'll do my best, though.
"Anyway, Jean-niisama's problem is more important than my problem, right? The Maya faction is trying to bring not only me, but also Jean-niisama and John-niisama into their camp, right? Jean-niisama's social debut is the month after next, right? Please be careful. I don't want Jean-niisama to have to endure anything because of me, okay?"
"Fuha! Yeah. Because Lai likes me, right? So, I know that Lai would be depressed if I became unhappy. It wouldn't make sense if I didn't become happy, right? ...Otherwise, John and Mother would definitely blame themselves."
Saying that, Jean-niisama smiled mischievously and winked.
"Lai seems to be quite fond of his family, but I love my family too, you know? You knew that, right?"
Imagine it. It's Jean-niisama, who has a beauty that rivals that of a beautiful girl.
Moreover, it's Jean-niisama, a fragile beauty who usually smiles softly! He's smiling a little mischievously!!
Aestheticism mixed with youthful energy is so good!!
On impulse, I covered my face with both hands and knelt on the ground.
In other words, what I want to say is,
"My Anis are the best in the world!!!"
"Ahhaha! My younger brother is the best in the world!"
"So, there's no problem with my brothers being the best in the world?"
"John-niisama!" "John!"
While we were saying something funny, no, we were quite serious, yelling at each other, John-niisama poked his face out from the entrance of the room.
"Father was enthusiastic about tailoring a dress for Jean's debutante the month after next, right? Andrea-aniue is enthusiastic about deciding on the design of your dress, but do you have time now?"
John-niisama asked Jean-niisama that while looking at me.
Jean-niisama also glanced at me, so I nodded with the meaning that it was okay.
"Yeah. It's okay, John. Should I go to Andrea-aniue's room?"
"I see. No, it's the reception room. Father has already called the seamstress. It seems they'll take measurements and then discuss the design with Andrea-aniue."
"Mm. Got it. See you later, Lai. Let's talk again."
Instead of Jean-niisama, who waved his hand and left the room, this time it seems John-niisama will be my conversation partner.
"So, Lai. Are you really going to become a monk?"
"You too!!!"
