Chaos: Do you want more?

What was the purpose of my plan in doing all this?

Simple, the silent completion of the engagement.

Let me explain; reputation is a very important thing for a nobleman, and as in any world, infidelity is frowned upon. In fact, many ancient wars were started as a result of infidelity. Neither of us, both Valeria and I, would be well advised to have scandals related to this issue, even if we are just children.

Although for Valeria it would be fatal, as she would be condemned and excluded by the next generation of noble ladies.

But the more beautiful Valeria becomes (which will happen), the more people will think it is my fault, that she is looking for someone as "perfect" as Adam, arguing that I have some problem, even if I am only a boy two years younger than her.

My plan was to catch them red-handed with my stepmom. She will get angry, ask for the Countess's presence, and in her negotiation with her to keep everything under wraps, my stepmother will gain some resources, not to mention the most obvious: the termination of the engagement.

This ensures a big blow to Valeria's mentality, almost a trauma, and also significantly reduces the favorability that in the future Adam could have with my stepmother.

The most important thing in this plan is that there will be almost no consequences for Adam, as the Countess must already know about his great potential as a knight or magician, so I highly doubt she will exile him.

By ending everything secretly, theoretically the events of the story mode won't change much, only the part where the original Kylo acts jealous, something irrelevant at the beginning, will be excluded.

It was supposed to end like this, but this situation....

"My Queen, this..." the countess was the first to speak in this terrible situation, her voice of urgency standing out very much.

"Shh, shh, quiet," the queen said as she approached us, with Elara on her back.

(Fuck, now what do I do?)

While thinking about how to fix this situation, the queen continued.

"It seems these children are doing something wrong at my daughter's party," the queen said with a smile as she approached my stepmother.

"My queen, I think..." my stepmother was already red with anger, and considered telling the queen what was on her mind.

" Calm down Arabella, I know what you are thinking or rather feeling," the queen interrupted my stepmother this time and looked at the adulterous couple.

The moment the queen turned her gaze to them, they quickly covered themselves with a blanket that was nearby.

(We've seen it all anyway...).

"But this is my beloved daughter's party, so I would like you both to give me some face," said the queen as she turned and caressed my face.

(...)

"Arabella, it looks like your little boy is in shock, so... Why don't you take him home and fix this tomorrow?" the queen exclaimed as she continued to caress my face and looked me in the eyes.

(You're confusing my reaction...).

Yes, I was shaking, but it wasn't from the shock of seeing my fiancée in someone else's arms, but because I know you are capable of executing Adam and sending it all to crap.

(The best scenario I can think of is exile).

Unless Baron Sherden has some very valuable treasure, Adam is completely fucked.

It goes without saying that such an act is a serious insult to the nobility. Now add to that an event as important as a princess's party.

Want a bonus?

Show the queen and princess how well your body is developing.

Am I missing something? Oh, yes, technically I'm the queen's adopted nephew.

"We'll settle this tomorrow morning, so everyone go home, I will personally lead the conversation," the queen said in an authoritative voice that left no room for objections.

"Yes, my queen..." my mother replied a little dissatisfied.

Immediately, she grabbed me by the hand to leave the party, without saying anything else....

(She is completely furious)

Curiously, before leaving the room, I could see how Elara sent me a thumbs up.

(???)

I also ran into Luna in the hallway, who just said goodbye to my stepmom and kept looking at me.

--

In the carriage way home, my stepmom rambled as she gave me a tight hug.

"Don't worry, my little one. I'm going to sink that bitch and her family."

Each time he spoke, it occurs a worse method to fuck Steele family.

(M-mom is getting worse)

Have you ever heard people say that as time goes by, their emotions calm down? Well, my mother is one of those people for whom the opposite is true.

The more time she spends angry, the worse she gets.

Upon arriving at the mansion, my stepmother offered to sleep with me, which I declined.

(I need to think...)

My stepmother seemed to misunderstand my intentions and, looking at me pityingly, gave me a hug.

"Don't worry, Kylo. There are many beautiful women in the world, mom will get you plenty, mom promises." She whispered in my ear in a motherly tone, trying to comfort me.

I just nodded and went to my room. She misinterpreted that too, as her face tightened even more.

--

The next morning...

My face was a mess. Well, I could not sleep, thinking about probably the protagonist of this world will die before the tutorial.

Among many alternatives I came up with if Adam was not executed, or in case the baron has a treasure or the countess helps him, I came to the most logical conclusion.

(The beginning of the Hardcore route...)

After what happened yesterday, it is impossible for the queen to even consider Adam getting close to Elara. Therefore, in this case, Adam will have to go straight to the action if he wants to increase his power.

The reason why many consider skipping the "social friend" event activates the hard mode, is because when you are a social friend, you are also taught by all of the Princess' teachers.

These include veteran knights and renowned mages.

If you skip this, you will have to gain experience by killing monsters, becoming an adventurer or being a mercenary, as a baron does not have many resources to hire a master, and the countess will not spend much on you.

And as in Aerial Chronicles, if you die you have to restart, so you just depend on your skill.

(I just have to hope he doesn't get killed by a random slime or goblin).

Self-deluding myself, thinking that the protagonist would somehow be saved, I got dressed to go accompany my stepmother to today's meeting.

(Come on, I'm the fiancé, surely they'll let me go, right?)

"No, you stay here, my little boy. I won't let you see that bitch and her family," my mother said with a strict tone.

My stepmother wouldn't let me go.....

--

Hours passed and every minute I felt more anxious, until at noon, my stepmother returned.

The moment I saw her face, I could tell that Adam was somehow spared.

Why? Her expression was completely dissatisfied and disappointed.

*Sigh

(Anyway, Adam will suffer if he wants to gain power).

"Mother," I said as I slowly approached her.

When she saw my tired eyes, she sighed and said:

"I'm sorry baby, mother let you down, I couldn't sink them," she said as she grabbed my armpits and lifted me up.

(You don't know how happy I am about your failure, mother).

That was my most honest thought.

"Baron Sherden will send his daughter to become your servant," he told me as he sat down on a sofa and held me in his lap.

"They say she's incredibly beautiful, so that bastard's sister will be joining you shortly," she continued and, as if remembering something, pulled a letter from one of her rings.

(A storage ring!)

It was a letter stamped with the Celestia family seal.

"Elara sent this to you," my mother said, trying to change the subject.

But I already knew the contents of the letter, as I had opened it before when I was in the main character's skin.

It was the (mandatory) invitation letter to become social friends with the princess and live with her for 2 years.

But there was something that puzzled me.

(Adam... Does he have a sister?)

I had never heard anything about that, and as someone who went almost every route of the male protagonist, there was never any mention of this "sister".

(Who is she?)
