The Villainess and Modern Weapons
Chapter 6 William's rise and Rubyn's imperial history

"Eh? Brother what are you doing here?." Ask Penelope.

"Hehe, I just want to see my shitty sister." Answer Brother Penelope.

"Ihhh brother!!!!." Penelope screamed because she could not be ridiculed by her brother.

"Ffft I'm just kidding." Said Brother Penelope.

Penelope's brother then looked towards Sherlin.

"Eh? Fufu forgive me Miss Edinburgh, I have not introduced myself. I am William Henry De Conscy, the eldest son of the Marquess Conscy. It's an honor to meet you." Said William while kissing the back of Sherlin's hand.

William salutes first because Sherlin's family title is higher.

'William Henry De Conscy? That genius future prime minister? Oh my God, he was one of the results of his lure (Korban bucin:^) the protagonist. Uhh I have to behave as best I can. I have to make this first impression well, I don't want to be killed by him, I still have a dream to strengthen my family's strength.' Inner Sherlin was shocked.

"Oh yes, I am also happy to meet you young Lord Conscy." Sherlin was polite while displaying noble greetings gracefully.

"Hoho is indeed as rumored.even though your age is very young you are very beautiful and graceful. Unlike the behavior of a child whose work is only to sleep, eat and play." William said praising and insinuating someone who is Penelope.

Penelope who felt insinuated also spoke.

"Hey!!!! What did you mean by that brother?!??!!." Penelope said in an annoyed tone as she stared intently at William.

"Hee~ Penelope what's wrong? I'm just praising Miss Edinburgh." William answered with Smirk.

"But you were insinuating me!!!!!." Shouted Penelope.

"Invading you? Since when have I been insinuating you? Did I mention your name Pene? Ahh or do you realize that it reflects your daily life?." William smiled faintly.

Sherlin who witnessed the debate between the two sister brothers just kept quiet did not intend to divorce the two. Because according to him this debate is just a joke/temptation brother to his sister.

'Yahhhh this is natural. If there is a friend of his sister who comes to the house, surely his brother will compare or insinuate indirectly or even directly to his sister.'

"Uggh."

Penelope who could not speak anymore just clucked her throat and held her cry and said to William.

"Ck. You!!!. Y-you..you!!! Li-look I'll tell you what you did to mom and dad!!!!." Penelope screamed after she ran away crying leaving Sherlin and William in the park.

"Fffttt bwahahahaha I didn't think he could hold himself back for some time, usually immediately crying without retaliating. It must be because Miss Edinburgh, she wanted to look cool in front of her friend.but unfortunately failed." William said with a crisp laugh.

"Hmmm but she could leave her friend alone here. Well then Miss Edinburgh would you like to go around with me?."

"Yes.maybe."

...----------------✿----------------...

Sherlin and William take a walk in the park and stop at a beautiful man-made lake.

William started a conversation with Formal.

"Hmmm miss Edinburgh.... I heard from Penelope you started learning magic?."

"Ahhh yes."

"He~ you're great huh."

After that, silence happened.

Crick...

'Uhhhh the situation is very awkward. This aaaaaa is so uncomfortable!!!!.' Inner Sherlin shouted.

The wind was blowing moderately, Sherlin's hair swaying.

Then William looked towards Sherlin. William looked at Sherlin intensely.

'....I admit she is very beautiful. But she must be just like any girl in general whose attitude is annoying and two-faced....' Inner William.

'Ugghhhhh why is this William looking at me????!!!? Is there something on my face?.' Sherlin's mind is uncomfortable.

"That's pretty...." William murmuring.

"Eh? Is there something on my face, young Conscy sir?." Ask Sherlin politely.

William shook his head slowly.

"Emm nothing.just your hair is so beautiful, miss..." William said as he tucked Sherlin's hair into his ear.

"Eh?."

'Ck what the fuck??!!?? You think with your chatter and temptation that the market is able to make me hue and deg-an that?, heh you are just a boy!!!.' Inner Sherlin was upset.

"Oh~ Thank you Young master Conscy. Your hair is beautiful too..." Sherlin's heart is flat.

'Hmmm? I guess his response will be more than this. He... made me very curious, first meeting him and seeing his gaze also made me very interested to know everything about him.' Inner William was surprised as well as feeling interested. If Sherlin knew William's heart, she would be shocked because a 10-year-old boy could think like that.

"emm both." William replied while nodding his head.

"By the way....Miss Edinburgh can I speak informally to you?."

"Umm yeah."

"Thank you Sherlin. Ahhh, the people closest to you call you 'Sherlin' right?. And you can also call me as you like."

"Hmm how about William's brother?."

"Yes it's okay."

"All right."

Starting in the afternoon, Sherlin said goodbye to William and Aunt Melisa. Sherlin who was going to say goodbye to Penelope was stopped by William because now Penelope was sulking in her room.

"Ahh then aunt Melisa and sister William I say back to my residence." Sherlin.

"Yes Sherlin be careful." William Sahut.

"Sherlin if you're free come back here and don't forget to take your mother with you." Aunt Melisa's.

Sherlin nodded her head.

Afterwards, Sherlin is escorted by her Marquess Conscy train to the Duke of Edinburgh's residence.

Arriving at Duke Edinburgh~'s residence

"Welcome back, miss." Said Sebastian (Head of servants) Politely.

"Yes." Yeah." Sherlin answered briefly.

Then Sherlin headed straight to her room to take a shower and get ready for dinner with her parents.

"Lili, I want to wear the new clothes bought by my father and the capital two days ago."

"Miss, what is this?"

"Yes lily." Reply Sherlin.

Lili who heard Sherlin's reply instantly prepared Sherlin.

After getting ready, Sherlin went to the dining room.

Tap..tap.

"Good night, miss." Greetings to Sherlin.

"Yes, good night too." Sherlin replied with a smile.

The door was opened by one of the servants.

Kreett's.

"Good night mom's dad." Sherlin bowed and greeted her parents gracefully.

"Good night, too, Sherlin." Reply to Sherlin's father.

"Good night my daughter." Reply to Sherlin's mother.

After greeting Sherlin, she sat down. He started eating with his parents. For some time the dining room is only filled with the sound of the clink of spoons and other cutlery.

On the sidelines of his meal the Duke of Edinburgh (father Sherlin) begins a conversation.

"Riana (the Duke's call to the Duchess), I got word that my father-in-law is coming here in 3 days?." Ask Duke.

"Yes that's right Ren (call of the Duchess to the Duke)." Answer Duchess.

"Eh? Grandpa's coming?." Sherlin interrupts the Duke and Duchess's conversation.

'It's not wrong that his grandfather Sherlina was an emperor of the Rubyn empire. Chassis Flow La Rubyn, she has a lot of resemblance with mother,(ehe yes obviously it is because mother is her son🗿. Huh what a fooling explanation) hmm I don't really know about the mother's family, because it's not explained in detail in the novel, but I'll go to the library after this.'

'Fufufu if my mother is a princess so automatically I am also a daughter dong mwehehe, good good. Heh I'm really looking forward to meeting grandfather, according to Sherlin's original memory the last time I met him was when I was 2 years old. Hoho I will conquer you with my faith my dear grandfather. Xixixixi.'s.' Inner Shelrin with a creepy laugh (Uhuk means like a ignorant laughter that loh:^).

"It's a shame that it's not good if you interrupt someone's conversation." The Duchess advises Sherlin subtly.

"Hehe's sorry mom, I won't repeat it again." Sherlin's voice.

The Duchess simply shook her head while smiling at the behavior of her daughter who she thought was very cute and funny.

"Haha right my daughter, your grandfather will come here in 3 days."

"Yey, I can't wait to see Grandpa!!!." Sherlin said with a spirit and a smile that contained hidden meaning.

"Hoho~ be patient dear, grandfather will definitely come." Sherlin's mother chuckled.

"Hihi yes Ma." Sherlin.

History of the Rubyn Empire :

Centuries ago, in a vast sea. In the middle of the sea lies a small island grown by a small tree that has red leaves and sparkling fruit similar to Ruby. The tree that stood in the middle of the sea automatically received a direct sunlight and made the tree very radiant and dazzling to the eyes, adventurers and travelers who pass through the sea region always want to have a tree in the middle of the sea.

There was a time when a wealthy traveler wanted the tree. He gave a competition to the people, that whoever managed to take the Ruby tree he would be rewarded with 100 gold. Many people participated in the competition, but none ever succeeded because the tree could not be uprooted. All the ways were done by the traveler, but none of them succeeded. News of the Ruby tree quickly spread throughout the continent. Many royal kingdoms wanted the tree, until war broke out. The purpose of the war was none other than to fight over the Ruby tree, until a Red Goddess 'Gelda' wrath due to the riots that occurred. The Red Goddess 'Gelda' also descended to the place of the Ruby tree and gave blessings to the tree and the sea to finish off anyone who has greedy nature and bad intentions. With the power of blessing from the Red Goddess 'Gelda' there was a mass slaughter.

The blood that was around the Ruby tree began to be absorbed into its roots. And a miracle happened, born a baby boy who has red hair like the leaves of the Ruby Tree and irises blue eyes like the Sea that surrounds the Ruby tree. The Red Goddess who knew it also brought and cared for the baby like her own child and named him Rei. As Rei grew up, he became a handsome and handsome man, possessing a bold and wise nature. But growing up in the environment of the goddess god made him very bored, then with the permission of the Red Goddess, Rei returned to the bottom of his place of origin. He had an idea to build an empire, with his power Rei could easily build an empire even an empire named Rubyn which was taken from the name of the Ruby tree.

And the Ruby Tree was taken by Rei and placed in a secret place in his palace. Rei, who had lived for more than 1 century in the Rubyn empire, decided to appoint a child to bequeath his throne. He gave half the blessings of his power to the boy and half to the Ruby tree, for centuries the Ruby Tree was believed to be the protector of the Rubyn empire. The Rubyn Empire had red hair and blue eyes like the Sea.

"Ouhh so anyway." Sherlin nodded.

"Hmmm it's exhausting to read this thick book. All right I'll go to bed soon."

After that Sherlin went to her room to rest.
