I Accidentally Seduced the Male Lead's Younger Brother

Chapter 26

It has been a few days since Elena had taken a magic stone class from Jeremy.

Winter was coming to an end, and spring has begun.

In the garden, flowers that overcame the cold sprouted to give birth to new life.

And after a week of hard work, Elena finally created a Magic Stone.

‘I worked hard in making this, right?’

After several days of condensing her powers and enchanting them, she finally did it.

Although it failed to shape, it looked like a cogwheel and was as small as a thumb.

A brilliant red magic stone that resembled Elena’s hair color was born.

Elena, who had achieved her goal, was so moved that she and Jeremy hugged for a while before regaining her senses.

She then attached a string to the magic crystal, transforming it into a necklace.

‘I’m glad I made it before Lexion went to the academy.’

While she was making the Magic Stone, she wanted to buy some magic supplies for self-defense like the one she gave Jane, but she decided that she wanted to make it herself.

‘Unbeknownst to what magic it contains, Jane’s accessory has a self-defense attribute. But I wanted to give Lexion a shield…’

Preoccupied with making the magic crystal, Elena didn’t realize that it was already late, and in a few days, Lexion was leaving for the academy.

She has less than a week left.

There were only a few days left to see the cute little Lexion.

‘Too bad.’

She felt miserable that she would no longer see the adorable Lexion.

“Ha.”

“Sister Elena!”

As she sighed, she saw Lexion running from across the hallway.

His blonde hair fluttered and bounced, evoking an image of a baby golden retriever.

… Cute!

“Lexion!”

Elena hugged Lexion, who was cozily embracing her.

After the brief hug, the child asked with twinkling eyes.

“Where are you going?”

“I was going to see Lexion.”

“Really?!”

As she nodded, the child grinned.

‘Ugh. You’re so cute. After all, he told me he didn’t want to go to the academy and I almost caught him saying that he should live with his sister for the rest of his life.’

Elena made up her mind, and she presented her hard-earned magic crystal necklace to Lexion.

“What’s this?”

“This is a gift I made for Lexion. When Lexion is in danger, this necklace will protect you.”

“Wow! You made it?”

“Yes.”

‘I made it after struggling for a few days.’

Lexion, who took the necklace from Elena, stared at the magic stone for a moment, and then put it on his neck.

“Sister, this jewel has the same color as your hair!”

“Yes. It’s because it has my magic in it.”

“I see! It’s good! This makes it like my sister is with me!”

Lexion couldn’t control his enthusiasm and ran around her.

‘Such a cute child.’

As she gazed at the child with a smile, Lexion motioned for her to come closer.

So she went down to the eye level of the child.

Chu—

Something touched her cheek and she was stumped.

“Thank you, sister.”

Lexion whispered and ran behind her and disappeared.

‘…  Just now, was that– I had my first kiss on my cheek, or can I count it as my first kiss?’

Elena was bewildered for a while.

“Pfft!”

She burst out laughing at the child’s adorable behavior.

‘Oh, I’m going crazy.’

Lexion not only was adorable but lovable too.

‘Well now, can a living creature be this endearing?’

She felt like she wanted to hit a wall.

“Huh, ha.”

Elena took a deep breath, calming her rampant heartbeat.

That was then.

“Elena.”

Killian’s voice came from behind her.

Turning her head, Killian was standing there, well-dressed.

‘What. Are you attending a show now?’

Elena wondered, raising one eyebrow in puzzlement.

“Master Killian. Where are you going?”

Killian’s outfit looked like he was attending a party.

She questioned him, scratching the back of her head as if embarrassed by Killian.

“Can I talk to you for a moment?”

* * *

The moment he met Elena for the first time.

Killian mistook her for a noblewoman.

That was how gorgeous the girl was.

He was immediately fascinated by her, to the point that he wanted to have her someday.

At first, when Elena swore at him, he thought she didn’t like him very much.

Eyes indifferent toward him; her voice and tone stone-cold.

But still, he liked the girl.

Beauty aside, no one has ever treated him that way except for his father.

So Killian was curious and was drawn to her even more.

And now, after going through a series of events, the boy’s heart has become somewhat certain.

Elena accepted his apology for his rude behavior, and also cherished the roses that he left at her door every day as an apology gift.

It was said the maids kept it well so that it could be seen for a long time.

It was clear that she didn’t hate him for that.

No, It would seem she has a slight crush on him.

Killian glanced at Elena, who was sitting upright in front of him.

In the warm greenhouse, the rose – resembling her – was in full bloom.

Elena’s appearance surrounded by the flowers was like a rose itself.

The way she drank her tea with refinement was like an art.

“So what is it that you want to tell me that you even need to bring me into the garden?”

Elena inquired with a soft smile.

Even though she had a faint smile, she appeared serious.

Killian unconsciously swallowed his saliva.

He opened his mouth, but no sound came.

Finally, he said with difficulty, trying to shake off the tension.

“Elena. Hang out with me.”

But Elena didn’t answer right away. As if thinking about something, she just looked around.

The more that happened, the more anxious Killian became.

Imploring, he wanted Elena to accept him.

It was only natural for him to have a crush on her because she was a beautiful lady, and there was another reason.

That’s right, his father.

The last chance he obtained was by begging for forgiveness.

Killian was determined to seize the opportunity.

To do that, he felt that he and Elena should be close to each other.

Although Elena was a commoner supported by his father, she was a wizard.

A link to the Magic Tower that even the Imperial Family could not easily touch.

His father was greatly interested in her overwhelming talent.

So Killian thought that if he made Elena his, his position would surely be reinforced.

But Elena had a completely different idea.

* * *

Killian said he had something to say to her, so Elena followed him.

“Come with me.”

‘Lani’

It was obvious that he was crazy about being openly in love with Elena despite having a fiancée.

Of course, he did that in the original, so she understood.

‘But I did despise Killian to the point that I was blinded by it.’

‘Still, you confessed to me…  Have you forgotten about your fiancée?’

He was really a ridiculous guy.

But the timing was amazing.

She saw the cute little creature sitting at the table between her and Killian.

When Elena followed after Killian.

She called out to Lani in a low voice.

She then hung the video sphere, which she just completed, around Lani’s neck.

The spirit, Lani, wore a black video sphere the size of her body around her neck and didn’t move.

Elena then gave Lani a brief explanation of the video sphere and whispered to her to keep an eye on Killian’s every move.

At her first command, Lani’s eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, ‘Leave it to me!’

After that, Lani was sitting at the tea table and was busy filming Killian.

Elena looked at her with delight.

Lani was a spirit, so of course, he wouldn’t be able to see her; the invisibility magic she put on the video sphere was a success.

Of course, she clearly showed Elena the shape of her visual sphere.

Lani, who lived with her own magical powers, also saw her video sphere.

Elena, who looked at the weary Lani, replied with a grin at Killian.

“I don’t want to.”

Killian’s eyes widened.

“… W-what?”

While waiting for her answer, Killian – anxious and anticipating – had his eyes open wide at her unexpected answer.

‘This is stupid.’

Then he tried to organize his expression and asked, pretending not to be embarrassed.

“Why?”

‘Are you really asking because you don’t know why? Or is it because you’re shameless?’

He was a piece of trash

Elena closed her eyes, and nonchalantly responded, leaving him gobsmacked.

“Young master is not my taste.”

“If I must say, your younger brother is much preferable.”

Then the reaction appeared immediately. Killian’s eyebrows rose.

“What? Do you like my younger brother?”

He asked in disbelief.

‘Yes. Not you, but your brother.’

“Yes.”

Elena earnestly replied.

‘Cause our cute little Lexion is so much better than this shit who had been cheating on his fiancée.’

“No, didn’t you like me too?”

“… What?”

‘Are you crazy, jerk?’

‘What kind of shit is this? Since when did I like Killian?’

‘What made him think that way?’

“Even if I made a mistake, you accepted everything and they said that the roses I gave you were also well kept…!”

Crazy.

It seemed that the one who would often leave a rose in front of her room every day was Killian, not Lexion.

Come to think of it, Lexion gave Elena wild flowers, not roses.

‘Shit. This is my mistake.’

If Elena had known that it was Killian who was giving it, she would have thrown it out right away.

Elena, straight-faced, told Killian.

“I had no idea that those roses were given to me by Sir Killian.”

“W-What?”

“I only thought of Jane or Lexion who could have left them.”

As she spoke calmly, Killian bit his lips tightly.

‘I think it’s his mistake for not revealing he was the sender.’

Then Elena would definitely put a wedge here.

“And I have no intention of dating anyone who has a fiance.”

At her words, Killian jumped up from his seat and shouted.

“I can just break the engagement!”

Crazy Killian came closer to the unyielding Elena.

But she was Elena and she wouldn’t back down easily.

“I still don’t want it.”

She refused again, and Killian bit his lips.

Then, as if unable to accept defeat, he viciously turned around, swearing at her, and striding away from his seat.

Elena looked at Killian’s back and clicked her tongue.

“Tsk. What a madman.”
