Leaked Secret (1) – unedited

It wasn’t until midnight that Evan finished his work. In order to finish the unfinished work, the lieutenants each took a small amount of paperwork and left work. Evan hated leaving work, so he only got up after finishing, and went to the bathroom with a tired body to wash up.

Water dripped from his hair and wet the shoulders of the gown he was wearing. When he went to visit Aris’s room with a decadent look that would have made everyone fall down if anyone had seen him, there was no response to the knocking.

‘She can’t have been sleeping already.’

How much effort did he put in to finish his work before she fell asleep on purpose. It was the same when he went to Leon’s room.

‘Did you two go out ….?’

Going out until this late. He didn’t like it.

The fact that the other person wasn’t him, and that they haven’t come back yet. He reluctantly decided to wait for her in his own room.

But when Evan opened his door, he was greeted by the now familiar smell of a love affair. And the voice of his younger brother who he doesn’t like, but now wants to kill.

“You’re much later than I thought?”

Leonhardt was sitting leaning on the headrest as if it was his own bed, and Aris was sleeping next to Leonhardt in search of his body temperature. And the finger of the man he wanted to break, who is stroking her hair while looking at her lovingly.

“I came first because I thought Brother would come anyway, but I didn’t know it would be this late.”

Evan wanted to ask if Leon was going to talk about that now, but he couldn’t make a loud noise as Aris was sleeping next to him.

“Then why don’t you just go now?”

“Sister is here, where am I going?”

His insides were boiling. What should he do with this. Then Evan sat down opposite side from Leon.

“Okay, then get some rest.”

Leon was a little puzzled when Evan’s reaction was weaker than expected. But he didn’t want to pick a fight anyway. He felt something was wrong, but his older brother wouldn’t open his mouth, so he had no choice but to shut his mouth.

If it was himself…….

He didn’t want to think about it, so he stopped. Evan hugged Aris, who was sleeping unconsciously, leaning on Leon’s shoulder. Then the night passed as Leon stroked Aris’s face as if he couldn’t lose.

“Fuck.”

Leon strode out as soon as he left the Emperor’s office. When he inquired about the location of Duke Verdick from the chief attendant, the chief attendant said that he had been instructed to guide Leon here if the commander of the Imperial Knights was looking for Evan, and he led him to a corner of the Imperial Palace. When we got there, there was Evanstein Verdick, who was sitting on a bench relaxingly basking in the sun.

“Older brother!”

“You’re here?”

He didn’t like everything from Evan knowing Leon would find him and telling the chief attendant his location in advance. When he thought that last night was surprisingly over quietly, as soon as he entered the palace, he got a call from the emperor, and he was going on an expedition all of a sudden.

Not the Empire’s Knights Commander, but the Imperial Palace’s Knights Commander. When asked about the reason, the Emperor was troubled and said that the wife of the imperial knights commander was about to die. Besides that, he couldn’t say, ‘It won’t be long until I will get the sister I’ve been cherishing for a long time.’

“Western expedition?”

“It is said that barbarians gather in the West. Have a good trip.”

“…… who do you think doesn’t know that now?”

Does it make sense to send his brother to the battlefield, no matter how upset he was yesterday?

He didn’t know where the eyes and ears might be in the Imperial Palace, so it was even more frustrating because he couldn’t speak properly in case his sister got caught in the rumors.

“You will go after the birthday banquet is over, so prepare well.”

Evan’s voice as he spoke like that was shallowly filled with regret. It doesn’t come from not seeing his younger brother Leon for a long time, but it’s a pity that he couldn’t send Leon away before the birthday celebration.

Leon really wanted to swear, but he knew very well that if his older brother saw it, he would add more and not less.

“…… Then I will be her escort for the birthday banquet.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

Leon, who had swallowed the swear words with superhuman patience, said in a voice trembling with anger.

“I’m going to a war that I don’t know when it will end, and I can’t even escort her?”

“Hmm…….”

Seeing Evan’s genuine concern, Leon felt like he was going to be upset.

The western desert area had been plundered by barbarians before, but due to the dry climate, the supply of food was not smooth, so they could not conquer properly.

However, in order to get rid of Leon, Evan even brought up the topic that Duchy Verdick provided a large amount of food for the welfare of the country.

When the Emperor once again thanked him and asked him to pass it on to Duke Verdick, Leon tried to pretend he was calm, but he couldn’t control his expression.

“If that wasn’t allowed, you will see what I will do.”

“What are you going to do?”

“Many countries want Sword Masters.”

“Ah, oh no. What a pity. The talents of the Empire are leaving.”

Even though his younger brother was leaving the country, Evan’s voice was calm.

“Do you think I will go alone?”

He tried to find Aris’ biological father, reveal her origin, and legally marry her, but it seemed like it would be good to go to a place where no one knew her and marry her.
