She's Not My Sister You Fool

────── 〔✿〕────── “Did I reach it?” “No. You have to stretch a little bit more.” “What about now?” “It’s still far, Your Grace.” Lancel sighed heavily as he looked at Dietrich, who was holding his hand in the air with his eyes tightly closed. “You have to put your hands down so that you can reach the baby.” It was only at Lancel’s words that Dietrich finally, with half-closed eyes, looked down.  The first thing he noticed was the soft white cheeks that looked as if they would pop when pressed hard. Ruby and Sapphire were twin girls who looked exactly like Anissa from when she was a baby.  “Your Grace, be brave.” Lancel patted Dietrich on the shoulder, who swallowed a groan while biting his lips in front of his daughters. ‘I can’t believe His Grace is showing this kind of side. If I’m not seeing it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it.’ He was someone who was summoned to the battlefield at the age of twelve. He never showed any weakness in front of any enemy. However, t...

  ────── 〔✿〕────── His Grace, the Grand Duke of Lagrange, was absent again today. “He couldn’t come because of personal situation.” Yuric, who attended the meeting instead of Dietrich as the head of the household, only shrugged his shoulders in spite of the disgruntled gazes of the nobles.  “Again?” “Why does it seem like he’s always absent every meeting?” Hermann Euclid was the current president of the Great Nobility Council, which was held every quarter in the woods of the Neutral Territory, but Dietrich Lagrange was the next president.  However, since he ascended to his title, he has only attended the Great Council once. “Since even Her Majesty has let go of his hand, he is leaving very soon.” “Where will the blood of the North go?” At least, it seemed that the Duchess was taking responsibility for her duties, so she seemed to attend the Northern Noble Council at times, but even then, after the news that she was pregnant, it was difficult to see a single strand of her ...

  ────── 〔✿〕────── “.....Are you really going to keep doing that?” “Yeah.” Dietrich nodded, the rattling sound of stones reverberated through the kitchen. It didn’t roll around because it was wrapped in cloth, but Dietrich looked very uncomfortable eating while carrying three large stones that should be aptly called rocks rather than stones.  “I told you it’s fine.”  Everytime he raised his arm to pick up food from a distance, the stone hit the table and made a heavy thudding sound.   At first, the servants widened their eyes wondering what kind of monstrous thing His Grace was doing, but now they got used to it and just moved the plate closer to him.  “It’s fine. I don’t want to make you feel lonely.” “....How stubborn.” When I first heard the news of my pregnancy, I was afraid of giving birth to a child vaguely and expressed my resentment towards Dietrich.  After that, he started carrying around rocks the size of his body saying he can’t let me suffe...
