I Became the illegitimate son of a duke

44 – True Color (4)

“Duke, Duke!?”

“Ines-sama… Those cheeks…!?”

“Doctor, call the doctor!!”

The castle was in complete chaos.

The duke, who suddenly disappeared, was dragged by the two women in a faint state, so it’s natural if it’s natural.

In addition, since Chloe and Ines each had ugly red palm marks on their cheeks, rumors spread out of control.

At first glance, the fainting of the duke and the handprints on the cheeks of the two women do not seem to have anything to do with it, but rumors are not very rational.

Based on the duke’s fainting and handprints, not only the people in the castle, but also the people outside the castle, all of them are making a lot of rumors.

“So I mean, two women fight over a duke– yup…”

“…What are you doing?”

“Oh, nothing… Ines.”

The rumors flared because Chloe and Ines hadn’t said anything about it.

If the two parties to the rumor had revealed their position, the rumor would have revolved around that position, but since that was not the case, rumors overflowing that could even be viewed as obscene or insulting.

Furthermore, Chloe and Ines have such a beauty that everyone would be in awe of them, so people tightened their creativity even more, to the point of creating rumors that could even be considered fiction.

“…Haaa.”

“Then who can’t hold back so much?”

“So are you.”

“That’s why I told you to come to your senses because you’re stupidly still.”

“Wow…”

Chloe and Ines, who are in the bedroom where Claude is sleeping, are talking to each other after sending out all the other attendants.

It is hard to see that the two of them were talking respectfully to each other just a few hours ago. It’s like watching a bad relationship that lasted for decades.

“That’s… That’s true—- what are you doing!?”

Chloe, unable to refute Ines’ words, blushes and feels ashamed, then suddenly lets out a cute scream when she sees Ines groping and massaging Claude’s body.

Obviously, we decided to stop fighting for a while until my brother wakes up, but this b*tch is cowardly—

“What are you doing? I’m looking at Seobang-nim’s condition. The stiff muscles have loosened up a lot, so after a good night’s sleep, you’ll be back to normal.”

“Ah, ah…”

It was only then that Chloe could properly see what Ines was doing.

Ines was just checking Claude’s health by pointing his hand at the joints and places where the muscles were tight.

“…I want to take a look.”

It seems that Chloe couldn’t help but feel that she was envious of Ines, no matter how legal it was.

Chloe hurriedly ran to the other side of the bed and, just like Ines did, kneaded Claude’s muscles and checked his condition.

“I already did it, do I need to do it again?”

“Keep, being sure is good…”

“…Tsk.”

This year is about two years older than me, and my head is very good.

Of course, I have a heart that I want to pamper Seobang-nim to my heart’s content, but I’m not as broken as that…?

“What?”

Ines, who was gossiping while watching Chloe, suddenly came to a conclusion.

Chloe treats Mr. West to the point of ruining her intelligence, but I don’t.

That means your love for the West is two years more than mine–

“No!”

“Hey!?”

“Wow…”

Chloe, groping for Claude’s body at the sudden roar, screams and shrinks in surprise, and Ines, who sees it, quickly regains her sanity.

‘Kuh…’

Though I certainly don’t show it on the outside, it seems that I was subconsciously worried about Mr. Seobang’s passing.

Yes, my love can’t be lower than that girl’s. I’m just being polite and he…

“Why, why…?”

“…”

The figure of Chloe comes into Ines’ eyes.

Chloe, who does not hide her pure affection and concern for Seo-bang, touches Seo-bang’s body to her heart’s content without falsifying her feelings.

Compared to that, what am I? Is it really right to stay still like this?

As soon as Ines saw it, he felt both envy and jealousy at the same time.

“…No.”

Ines, who has been educated by an aristocrat close to brainwashing to not show emotions, decides not to hide her emotions anymore.

Determined, Ines takes off her shoes and then climbs onto the bed and burrows into the blanket covered by Claude.

“What, what… You.”

Chloe says that in a bewildered voice, but Ines doesn’t even respond.

Ines, who sleeps on the same pillow as Claude and covers her with the same blanket, just smiles and hugs Claude’s body.

“What are you doing now! Can’t you hear me?”

“Seobang-nim, you’re awake. It’s noisy.”

“Hey, hey…!”

Chloe feels embarrassed and humiliated at the same time by Ines, who suddenly changed her personality.

How dare you do this to your brother in front of me?

If I stay still, I’m the only one who becomes a fool, and if I argue with that, I’ll get in the way of my brother, as this b*tch just said.

How… How should I… Kugh, first of all I…!

“…What are you doing?”

There is only one bed, blanket, and pillow, but three people use it.

It’s all big because it’s used by a duke, but it’s designed for one person, so it’s too small for three people to use together.

Chloe and Ines’ arms and legs pop out of the covers, and the pillows also put their heads on the ends.

“It’s narrow because of you…! It was just fine until just now.”

“If it’s inconvenient, go out.”

“…”

Chloe and Ines, who don’t want to leave, come closer to Claude.

I raised my arms and legs above my body, tucked them under my body, and hugged Claude with my mouth close enough to touch her ears.

…………

Sure… Sure…

‘What…?’

The sound of breathing is coming from all directions.

Not only that. Something is pressing down on her chest so tightly that it feels stuffy, and her body is not warm enough to be considered hot.

It feels like being thrown into a sauna with your whole body wrapped around a rope. My head is so dizzy that I keep being in a daze.

‘Keuugh… What the hell—- oh!’

“Children!?”

Claude, who was trying to figure out the situation with his drowsy mind, wakes up in a fright.

Claude, who had been detoxified enough to withstand the poison, remembered Chloe and Ines fighting to the point of blood.

“Just stop… Stop…?”

‘What?’

I can’t get up from my seat.

It’s not that you can’t move because you’re paralyzed. The muscle is trying to keep moving, but something is physically blocking it.

Above all, this slightly stinky smell…

“What’s up… Seobang-nim!?”

“Brother…!”

“…Huh??”

Claude finally finds Chloe and Ines.

The two of them, who were sweating profusely with slightly reddened faces, were holding me tight with their entire bodies. Like a koala hugging a tree.

“You guys… What are you doing?”

………

If three people hug each other under the same blanket on a hot summer day, of course they will feel extreme heat. A normal person would stick out his tongue and run away.

However, Chloe and Ines are not ordinary people.

The two, who couldn’t lose to the other, somehow endured with evil, and eventually this division was created.

Hot

“Ugh…”

Even though no one is there, the blanket is still full of heat and moisture.

Claude, who was only exposed for a moment, but was immediately hit by the smell of sweat and heat stinging his nose, frowned slightly and hurriedly let go of his hand holding the blanket.

Seeing this, Chloe and Ines made their faces even more red and felt extremely embarrassed.

“That- haaa…”

Claude, who was about to say something to the two of them, just let out a sigh instead of his words.

He’d know full well that he was wrong even if he didn’t have to say anything.

“That, that’s…”

“Sorry…”

“It’s okay, it could be. No, I rather prefer this?”

The faces of the two become delicate at my answer.

I made it hot enough to put a strain on my body, and even though I pressed it hard, I didn’t get angry at all. You must have thought it was not strange that I was angry.

“I didn’t know that you guys, who don’t always show their emotions well, could have such rich emotions.”

Chloe and Ines didn’t show their emotions very well.

The fact that the two of them, who had affection for me to such an extreme level, and didn’t show their emotions outwardly until now, would mean that the two of them would always live under extreme stress.

You don’t have to hide your feelings that much unless it’s ruining your daily life.

“So, you don’t have to hide your feelings from now on.”

“Brother…”

“Mr. West…”

The two of them were blushing with shame just a moment ago, but now they are blushing with gratitude for me.

‘…As expected, this looks much better.’

No matter the reason, these two are the “Women” I’m responsible for. So I hope you don’t hide your feelings from now on.

The thing about Chloe feels like betraying her mother. It’s very bitter…

“”Yes…! I won’t hide it any longer.”

“… Huh?”

At that time, Chloe and Ines, with tears in their eyes, said the same thing at the same time in a moving tone.

It’s a perfectly normal answer, but hearing it gave me goose bumps all over my body and the back of my neck suddenly felt cold.

For some reason, I feel like I’ve made a serious mistake. You seem to have worded it wrong.

…Ah, it must be because of my mood. It is wrong to say that you don’t have to hide your feelings.
