“If only it was that easy, right, brother?”
Lucas questioned with a disdainful smirk on his face.
Seeing that look on his brother’s face, Raguel finally realized,
Lucas was making fun of him.
He had no plans to work with him from the beginning. He was deliberately saying what he wanted to hear because,
“Hahahaha~ My acting skills have improved a lot, wouldn’t you agree, brother?
I must say, seeing how all the expectations just flushed out of your face when you realized the truth, Hahahaha~ It was so amusing.
Hahahaha~”
He was saying all that because he wanted to laugh at him.
Raguel realized and clenched his fist in anger.
The thing he hated the most was being made fun of, especially by someone far weaker than him.
All the ‘gentle’ look on his face faded away and his eyes burned in anger and loathing.
“You have gone too far, Lucas.”
He glared at Lucas and spoke in a hoarse voice.
Seeing that look in his eyes, Lucas exclaimed.
“Aha! There is it!”
Raguel furrowed his brows a little.
“There is that usual look on your face.
The look full of loathing and disdain towards me.
Brother, even a child could tell that your gentle look before was just a ruse. In truth, the only thing you feel towards me is disdain.
You want me to become the King’s brother who does nothing but is backed by his brother? Who is going to have my back? You?
You? A man who doesn’t even think of me as his brother.
Brother, you are the most selfish person I have met, you think I would rely on someone like you?
Heh. If I wanted to rely on anyone, I would choose Third Brother, he is harsh, however, at least he doesn’t keep on that fake gentle persona like you.
Also, I believe that he has a better chance of becoming the King than someone like you.
You are nothing but an arrogant fool.”
“What did you say?”
Raguel narrowed his eyes and walked towards Lucas with a threatening look on his face.
Lucas backed down a little, however, soon, he forced a smile on his face and replied,
“What? You think you can scare me?”
Hearing those words, Raguel smiled wickedly and moved his face closer to Lucas.
“Oh, I definitely can.”
Lucas’s face turned pale.
However, this time, he decided not to back down.
“Do you really think Lovis can become the King of this country?”
“Trust me, First Brother, if not me, then he is the one who will become the King, which I think would be a lot better than you becoming the King.
You want to unite the whole continent under your banner? Heh, You? A man who couldn’t even realize that a ‘drunkard’ was fooling him until the Drunkard hinted at it himself.
If someone like you becomes the King, then rather than making the Skyfall Kingdom the only existing Kingdom on this Continent, you would just make wipe the Skyfall Kingdom from this continent.
You will destroy our Kingdom.”
This time, Raguel failed to hold himself back and grabbed Lucas’s neck in rage.
“And you think you, a drunkard bastard like you can become a better King than me?”
Raguel spoke in a hoarse voice.
“Y-Yes, I can.
A King who does nothing b-but enjoys his life is definitely a better King than someone who overestimates himself.
At the very least, I won’t try to go after other Kingdoms and destroy ours in the process.”
Lucas answered.
“Oh yeah? Then what would you do once the other Kingdom comes after you?”
“Skyfall Kingdom is the strongest Kingdom, brother. No Kingdom would come after us no matter how useless the King is. You know that as well.”
Raguel didn’t say anything for a while.
He knew Lucas was right.
The current Skyfall Kingdom was very stable, they had the highest number of King Stage Experts, the highest number of soldiers in their army, strong trading networks, and many more.
Even if the King turns out to be a useless one, the Kingdom would still stand strong.
However, knowing was one thing, admitting was another.
Raguel would never admit that Lucas was right, therefore, he tightened his grip around Lucas’s neck and narrowed his eyes.
“You are speaking too much. Do you want to die that badly?”
“Haah… Haahh… Haahh…”
Lucas started struggling even more, he was having difficulty in breathing, however, even though he was in that condition, he just smiled.
“S-See that? You lost control over your emotions so easily, do you really think you can become the King, brother.”
Raguel didn’t answer, he just tightened his grip around Lucas’s neck even further.
It was clear, he wasn’t just trying to scare him anymore, right now, he was actually planning to kill him!
Lucas was getting on his nerves!
He wanted to see fear in his eyes.
However, Lucas didn’t give him that satisfaction, he just smiled even more,
“H-Heh, d-do it, brother. I-I would love to see how you w-will become the King after k-killing your own brother.”
Hearing those words, Raguel’s eyes, which were red in anger widened in surprise and he quickly backed up.
He had finally come out of his reverie.
He then looked at his own hands with a panicked look on his face.
“Haah… haah… haa…”
On the other hand, Lucas was desperately catching his breath, his face was red and there were finger markings on his neck, however, he still had a smile on his face.
A smile full of satisfaction.
This was the first time he felt that he actually won against this brother of his.
“Haa… Haha… Hahahaha~”
Slowly, the smile on Lucas’s face widened and then, he started laughing.
“…”
Raguel just glared at this little brother of his, his rage was clear on his face, however, he held himself back.
He can’t do anything reckless right now.
He would deal with this bastard later.
“Hmph!”
With a snort, Raguel turned around and left Lucas’s room.
