I Obtained a Stepmother. I Obtained a Little Brother. It Appears That Little Brother Is Not Father’s Child, but a Scum King’s Child, However, Don’t Mind It Please ( ´_ゝ`)

Ellen’s back instinctively shuddered at Ricardo’s wink, but given that she wanted to hear the answer to her question, she decided to first listen to Ricardo story .

「 It was 『Why is Royalty so important[1]?』 , wasn’t it . Though it certainly is disrespectful, it is an exceedingly profound, difficult question . When I was young, there was a time where I was very troubled by the responsibilities of being Royalty . I pondered over various matters at that time . There are still an a.s.sortment of it that I still ponder over till now, though . The answer that I would give out is by no means absolutely correct, but would that be fine?」

Ricardo said so to both Yuri and Ellen .

「There is no such thing as absolutely correct in this world . ( ´ゝ’)

There are as many answers as there are people . ( ´_ゝ’)
Even if I hear Oniisan’s answer, in the end, I will come up with my own answer so it’s okay . ( ´ゝ’)」

Ellen said so and smiled a little .

Just like a while ago, Yuri gave it some thought, then slowly nodded .

「…as expected of Ellen-jou . One wouldn’t think you are younger than Yuri . Are you not lying about your age?」

Trying to gloss over the fact that he was slightly impressed, Ricardo teased Ellen .

「Oniisan, is that not rude to say to a lady? ( ´_ゝ`)？」

Ellen puffed her cheeks and spoke disapprovingly .

「My apologies . Milady . Please find it in your vast heart to forgive this one . I shall take caution in my replies . 」

Ricardo obediently apologized, bowing reverently .

『What lady?』

and thinking so in the secrecy of his head .
