And this grand staircase.
Similar to the one that was shown in the classic Hollywood movie “Gone with the Wind” or the finale of a girl’s revue.
Going down there with all the eyes on you…was a mental ordeal.

“Ekaterina, are you okay?”

 

Alexei held Ekaterina’s hand in his left hand as if to wrap it around his own.

 

“Yes, Big Brother, I was just a little surprised.”

 

“You shouldn’t have to take it so hard.
If you feel sick, tell me right away.”

 

Oh, the sickly setting was still active.
I had naturally forgotten about it.

“I will be fine no matter how many guests there are.
With Big Brother by my side, I feel safe.”

 

“…Is that so?”

 

Alexei’s neon blue eyes softened at his sister’s words.

 

“All those people over there are the people of the territory.
They are your subjects.
Don’t worry about them, just act like a princess.”

 

“Big Brother.
The Lord is Big Brother, and I am a subject of Big Brother.”

“I am your servant, my Mistress.”

 

Oh, I made him say it.

 

I wasn’t afraid to walk down the grand staircase in the middle of all the attention because Big Brother was standing right next to me.
My Big Brother was more talented than a Hollywood star, more talented than the top star of a girl’s idol group!

 

People sighed and marveled at the sight of the siblings coming down the grand staircase, snuggled up to each other in an intimate manner.

 

Many of them have known Alexei Yurinova, the heir apparent to the dukedom, for a long time.
However, this was the first time such a banquet had been held at Yurinova Castle since the succession of the former Duke Alexander to the throne.
At the funeral of his father, grandmother, and mother, Alexei was busy with the high nobility, and few people saw him, partly because he disliked socializing.

 

He had matured into a dignified, handsome man who was more poised than he should have been at the age of eighteen.
The black formal attire of the Duke, worn over his tall, slender body, was proof that he reigned supreme over all the people gathered here.
The cold expression on his face as he glared down at the people below exudes a dignity that does not allow them to underestimate him as a young man.

However, when he looked at his sister, his expressionless face changed to one of gentle ease.

 

This change was surprising to those who knew Alexei well, and there were many stunned young men and blushing young ladies who looked at him.

 

Ekaterina, on the other hand, was unknown to everyone.
Most of them were seeing her for the first time.

 

A daughter who had been confined for many years and knew nothing of the world.
She had never made her debut in the social world, and had not even received a proper education.
Many people imagined a girl who didn’t even know how to act like a noblewoman based on this information.

 

However, when Ekaterina appeared, she was wearing a dress more sophisticated than any of the noblewomen in the northern capital, and her appearance was full of elegance.
Her slender dress was minimally revealing, but it also revealed a curvaceous, feminine figure, which was quite seductive.
The dress’s design was clearly inspired by the blue rose, the Duchess of Yurinova’s symbol, as if to declare to everyone that she was a legitimate heiress to the Duchess of Yurinova, which had a 400-year history.

 Her beauty, which was far more mature and stout for a 15-year-old, was not only equal to that of her elder brother, Alexei, but also gave her an unapproachable air.

 

This beautiful woman had just made her first social appearance.
She did not belong to anyone yet.
She was the princess of Yurinova, a woman of the highest honor and wealth.

 

It was not surprising that young people of Ekaterina’s age were excited to see her.

 

Everyone erupted in applause.

 

It quickly grew into thunderous applause from the entire hall to greet the siblings.

 

–Now, it had begun.
