When the crew got back to the estate, dinner was ready.
Since their mother had left, the table felt a too big and James asked his sisters if his servants could dine with them. They had agreed.
Veronica and Emily looked a little perturbed at first, but quickly got used to being served by the maids.
James was thinking as he ate and didn't really join the conversation. He was getting bored of reading and wanted to do something.
He was his very own fantasy isekai with levels!
'I'm such an idiot! I'm missing out on the best part!'
Catching everyone's attention, he voiced his thoughts. It was met with instant denial.
Madeline and Clara immediately slapped their hands on the table.
"Brother no!"
"Absolutely not!"
James was already treated as a delicate little brother before, but after the situation with the Troths, his sisters had turned their protectiveness up to the max.
"Why not.. I'm already level 10.. ask Emily and Veronica, I can take care of myself."
