A great chance to kill

 

The reason why I, the eldest son of the Kvist family, am so disliked by my family is that Gurd Kvist, the head of the family and my father, had taken two wives.

He first married Leafa Dominaria, my mother, who was also his fiancee, and then he took in Iris, his current wife, with whom he was having an affair.

Gurd did not love Leafa in the first place, but the Kvist family, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, engaged him to the eldest daughter of the baron in exchange for a large amount of financial support.

Due to the financial problems, the Kvist family, despite being a ducal family, is not above the Dominaria, a baronial family—they may think they are, but in my opinion, their attitude shows that they looked down on the Dominarias. He was stressed daily by this reality, and he could not stand the fact that he was required to take no other wife than Leafa as a condition for marrying her.

Then I was born with a low magical aptitude. 

A year later, his mistress gave birth to my half-brother. And the following year, my half-sister was born. Both of them had a very high magical aptitude and promising futures.

It was natural for Gurd to want the talented son of a woman he loved to inherit the Kvist family rather than the trash of a son of a woman he did not.

But for that to happen, Leafa and I had to die.

At that time, the carriage which Leafe was riding fell off a cliff when the wheels came off while driving along a mountain road, and she died.

The case was declared an accident due to a damaged wheel.

Naturally, the Dominarias were not convinced and protested. Gurd turned them away with his arrogant attitude, as if he had no more reason to take a stand, and began asking for money for Kaisar’s upbringing.

The attitude of such a father transferred to his children and servants. My younger siblings looked down on me as if it was natural for them to do so, and Kaisar became frantic, which has continued to this day.

Incidentally, the carriage got burned to the ground before investigators arrived, leaving no clues as to whether it was actually an accident or a murder disguised as an accident.

All that was left was to eliminate me, and my brother could take over the reign of the Kvist family.

That’s why I started adventuring.

I suppose my father thinks that now is the perfect time to kill me.

The maid of the Kvist family seems to have been following me without being noticed since a few days ago, but the round dot indicating her location on the map has been bright red in colour for several days.
