And all the while, I hear the voices of the girls who each celebrate my birthday.

“You guys…”

I don’t want to cry in public, but my eyes start to get wet, so I look up and rub my eyes with my sleeve.

After all, it’s nice to celebrate being born.

I never thought the day would come when I could feel as strongly and confidently as I do today that it was a good thing to be born into this world, not even on my birthday last year.

To begin with, even when my mother was still alive, my father did not celebrate my birthday, so I could only get a pat on the head from my mother, wishing me a happy birthday.

I was sure my brother, sister, father and step-mother would despise me until the day they died, that I would spend my days in fear of being killed like my mother, and I would continue to vent my stress by hitting the weakest person close to me.

That is why I was so disgusted with my engagement to Sufia.

Even though Sufia’s family is lower in rank than mine, the nobility is widely connected and trusted, both by Sufia and by Sufia’s family.

Trust and connections can get created using money. But as they say, when money is tight, connections get fragile.

If the money gets paid out of love for another, the relationship may continue even after the money runs out, but the Kvist family would never do such a thing. That’s why my father wanted a connection with the Lavinia family, which is Sufia’s family.

However, he probably did not want to bow down or offer up my younger brother. That is why he made me get engaged to her.

He did it from above, applying pressure from all sides.

Naturally, the barons could not refuse the engagement from the duke’s family, so the Lavinia family agreed to the engagement between Sufia and me.

I hated it so much.

What I hated the most was that I would be used to make the man who killed my beloved mother and his family happier.

But the only strategy I could come up with in my foggy mind was to let some ruffians attack Sufia in exchange for some gold coins.

And I didn’t even realize that this was exactly what the Kvist family, whom I loathe the most, had done to my mother, saying that it is better to eliminate those who get in the way.

Looking back on it now, I guess I was that cornered, but even so, what I did was unforgivable, and I am glad that Sufia didn’t get harmed in that incident.

“What’s wrong? Master.”

“… Sorry. It’s nothing. I was just reminiscing a little about the past. Thank you all.”

And so I spent my first very happy
