I was Reincarnated as the Villainess's Older Brother, but it seems My Sister is Obsessed With Me. And for Some Reason, the Male Love Interests are also Doting On Me.(BL) - Chapter 18

(Fiona’s Perspective)

“Louis, what is that fluffy creature?”

“That would be Master Clive’s familiar…”

“Yes, yes, I’ve heard that many times! What I want to know is why it acts like it owns my brother-in-law’s lap all the time!”

That’s right—this rabbit that my brother-in-law picked up from the dungeon. And of all things, it became his familiar.

Ugh, I’m so jealous!

I want to rest my head on my brother-in-law’s lap too and have him stroke my hair!

“Now, Fiona, may I proceed with the usual?”

“Do as you like.”

“Ahh, today, Fiona, you shine like the silver moon in the night sky. Your radiance lights up the darkness, making you the most beautiful of all.”

As expected, that was Stefan Raveles, delivering his customary poetic flattery. Apparently, it unsettles him if he doesn’t say it. A rather peculiar man, indeed.

Now, why exactly were Stefan, Louis, and I gathered here today?

Simple. I, Fiona, have officially established the “Brother-in-Law Observation Society.”

During a previous visit to the duke’s estate, I discovered that Stefan was just as obsessed with my brother-in-law as I was.

As a devoted “Brother-in-Law Enthusiast,” I could not ignore this revelation. Of course, I have no need for female comrades in this regard, but a male ally? That, I welcome.

Thus, after some discussion, Stefan and I formed this society. Naturally, I am the President, and Stefan is the Vice President.

When we told Louis about it…

“Why did you not invite me?! I have been with Master Clive since his diaper days! I live for Master Clive!”

He was far too eager to join.

And so, the three of us have been holding secret meetings ever since.

Incidentally, it was during one of these meetings that we decided to arrange my brother-in-law’s magic training.

“And you, Louis, are also at fault.”

“Me?”

“Yes. How dare you interrupt when I was sharing a passionate embrace with my brother-in-law? He has never sought me out so desperately before!”

“But, Fiona… You’re already engaged to Prince Allen. Even if it’s only symbolic, you’re no longer in a position to demand anything from Master Clive.”

“Ugh, that engagement… utterly unacceptable.”

“So, Lady Fiona, have you learned anything?”

“Not at all. I expected Prince Allen, being absent from the public eye, to have at least some dark rumors about him. But when I inquire, everyone speaks of him as a perfect prince.”

That’s right. I, Fiona, am engaging in some espionage.

It all started when Prince Allen suddenly proposed to me.

Of course, my initial response was an absolute rejection. But then—he threatened me.

“No matter how much of a genius Clive is said to be, he is still just a noble’s son. I, however, am a prince. Do you understand what that means?”

I am not foolish. If I defied him outright, my brother-in-law could be in danger.

“I want to change the world,” he claims. But what exactly displeases him about this world?

I decided that the best strategy was to play along and observe him closely. Thus, I accepted the engagement.

But one day, I will break off this engagement and return to my brother-in-law’s side! Wait for me, Brother-in-Law!

And now, here we are…

“Why must I endure this torment with that man while my brother-in-law is fawning over that fluffy creature?! Outrageous!”

“Well, Lady Fiona, Master Clive did say Finn reminds him of you—how cute and adorable you both are.”

Oh my!

That means… my brother-in-law wishes to bury his face in my chest as he does with Finn?! To stroke every inch of my body with his hands?!

Oh, Brother-in-Law…

“If that’s the case, then I suppose it’s fine.”

“Fiona, you’re blushing. What exactly are you imagining? And more importantly, that dungeon incident was unexpected, wasn’t it?”

Stefan said something, but I was only half-listening.

“Indeed. I never expected my brother-in-law to embrace Louis like that. Unthinkable.”

“I was moved as well. I never imagined Master Clive cared for me so deeply.”

“You two are doing this on purpose, aren’t you?”

Louis looked positively pleased, while Stefan simply looked exasperated.

Fine. Back to the real discussion.

“The dungeon incident has become a topic of concern at the royal palace. It seems someone deliberately orchestrated it.”

“Deliberately?”

“Yes. Though we don’t know who, only someone with immense magical power could pull off such a feat.”

“If it requires strong magic, that means either a high-ranking noble or… a royal.”

“Could Prince Allen be involved? What does he mean by ‘changing the world’?”

“If he is involved… Lady Fiona, you must be careful. If anything happens, use this magic device to contact us immediately.”

“I understand.”

Anyone who dares to lay a hand on my brother-in-law… will pay dearly.
