Defeat of Chris, my brother

"...Elysion. I wish to spar with you."

Finally, he opened his mouth, and to my surprise, he proposed a duel.

Hmm?

Is it to prove to me, his incompetent younger brother derided as the 'Incompetent dumb prince,' that he is my true older brother?

"Don't worry, I've also heard about Mother's actions. You were targeted by your own mother. I understand how you feel. But it's nothing related to that matter."

"..."

"But I want to settle this matter. To me, you were nothing more than a useless little brother. A man without any talent, always groveling and flattering, constantly trying to please me."

He speaks his mind freely.

Well, it's all true, though.

"...Will you be satisfied if we spar?"

"Yes. I won't ask for more than that."

He raised his head and looked at me.

The dullness in his gray eyes, like a month ago, has faded.

"Alright... I understand."

"I apologize."
