The Protagonists of the Novel Escaped

=================

The most important thing in the world is improvisation.

“If you keep your wits about you, even if you’re mauled by a tiger, you’ll survive.”

Just like this proverb suggests, always maintaining calmness is the most valued solution for humans.

Even when I fell into the world of romance fantasy,
Even when I realized I was in the body of the protagonist’s younger sibling,
Even when I was inevitably caught up because of my brother, who is like a moving nuclear bomb,
I just had to keep my wits about me.

I must never give up.

I always pushed myself to overcome difficulties.

So, I could confidently boast that my cold composure is unparalleled.

But—.

Just when my pride began to tip into arrogance, fate unleashed a catastrophe as judgment.

“How dare you annul the engagement with the imperial family… How arrogant of you, Hohenberc Family.”

“……”

After defeating the final boss and reaching the epilogue, my brother, the culprit, eloped with the female lead, the saintess. To make matters worse, that damned brother even declared an annulment to his longtime fiancée, the Third Imperial Princess, and vanished.

That damned human.

I knew he was irresponsible, but… I never imagined it would go this far.

Does he not care what happens to the rest of the family?
I felt a rage that surpassed my disappointment.

“Where has Maximilian gone?”

“We are not quite sure about my lord’s whereabouts…”

“I know he is the continent’s representative hero. But that doesn’t make him exempt from punishment. Don’t you think so, Edanant von Hohenberc?”

“…Yes, of course.”

Romance Fantasy,
‘The Lady of White Blessings’

This familiar cliché-filled story features a commoner female lead who awakens as a saintess through various episodes and defeats the evil Demon King alongside the male protagonists.
The story has come to a conclusion. And when I saw the notice that the author was preparing a sequel—.

I closed my eyes and when I opened them, I had possessed a character from the story.
…What an absurd situation.

I had become the brother of the hero Maximilian, who had ranked first in the popularity poll among the male characters courted by the female protagonist, Beatrice.

“The grave sin of deceiving the imperial palace is serious. Naturally, it should be dealt with severely. As a knight who has sworn to protect the imperial family, and as a sister who has cherished and cared for her younger sister… I will not overlook this incident.”

With hair as beautiful as ripe wheat,
Intense fury shone in her distinct and vibrant red eyes.

In any other situation, one might be captivated by her beauty that could make even goddesses envy, but unfortunately, there was no room for that right now. She was a reaper dispatched with full authority from the imperial family.

‘Oh, as if it’s not enough to be a grave sin… The Red Dragon of the Valtarian Empire is out to play.’

The Second Imperial Princess of the Valtarian Empire.
Ludmilla Dreg Valtaria.
Heir to the Red Dragon.
The representative powerhouse of the Valtarian Empire.
A part of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, composed of heroes and monsters beyond compare.

Just to mention, she is twenty-seven this year.
Unmarried.

Even the hero Maximilian, who became a top-tier powerhouse by annihilating the Demon King’s army alongside Saintess Beatrice, is yet a being deemed a monster so great that it’s hard to gauge his odds against him without care.
The author stamped this absolute existence as being far above human limits.

Where can one find a human who wouldn’t freeze before such a being?
My so-called calm composure, which I thought was my greatest asset, had already disappeared this year.

“Damn it, that brother of mine…! I should tell Father to strike him from the family registry immediately!”
This ‘family’ is made up of scum.
Running away irresponsibly?
Unaware that he is being played like a fiddle?

From this moment on, the brother who has shared ten years with me no longer exists.
No,
In the first place, there were never any siblings for me.
Someone who abandoned his family to complete his elopement while breaking the engagement with the Third Imperial Princess due to being head over heels for the female protagonist is no longer family.

“……”

Of course, it was vital to escape the current situation first.
The Red Dragon had arrived to punish the trash who rejected her younger sister.
As I watched the red-eyed princess of the Red Dragon burning with killing intent, I gulped down a dry swallow.
