I Became the Youngest Sister-in-law of the Ruined Reverse Harem’s Male Leads - Chapter 1

Chapter 1
Clearly, the original genre was a ruined harem.
The male leads went to war to win the heart of the female lead, but she remained unyielding, a person who would give her heart to no one.
However, at some point, the genre changed.
It seems it started with the death of the original female lead… But could things really change to this extent?
“It’s cool, right?”
Francois Cassel cast a dazzling fantasy spell, creating a translucent whale and a school of fish that flew through the air.
Francois was a genius wizard of the century and the current Head of the Mage Tower, one of the male leads who had taken on the role of a lunatic in the original story.
And now, he was my prospective brother-in-law betrothed to my youngest sister, Emilia.
I was caught off guard by the illusion spell he had cast, and I belatedly exclaimed.
“Yeah! It’s awesome! Really awesome!”
“Then, Lilliana. Try calling me ‘Oppa’.”
“Huh, huh?”
“Repeat after me: Oppa.”
Francois lowered his body and met my gaze.
When his angelic, beautiful face came into view, I gasped.
He was unbelievably handsome to the point where I couldn’t get used to his face even though I saw it every day.
“But the youngest brother-in-law should be called ‘brother-in-law,’ not ‘Oppa.’ Lilliana’s oppa is someone else.”
“It’s okay. Since we’re family, Lilliana is my younger sister, too.”
“I think my oppa wouldn’t like it…”
I hesitated before responding.
Francois was doing his best to win my favor, but he still scared me a bit.
In the original, he had pushed me, a side character, to the brink with his madness.
He was the type who wouldn’t hesitate to be ruthless if it served his purpose, so I couldn’t help but be nervous around him.
But I also couldn’t bring myself to call him “oppa” as he wished, because “oppa” was reserved for my real older brother, Andrea.
And I had a feeling my youngest sister wouldn’t like it, either.
‘My youngest sister is really scary when she’s angry.’
So to avoid the situation, I quickly got up from my seat.
“I want to go play!”
“Lilli-Lilliana—!”
Ignoring the youngest brother-in-law as he called me, I dashed through the corridor to the garden to ride the swing.
But in the process, I tripped and stumbled, twisting my ankle.
“Ouch!”
Just as I thought I was about to lurch forward, I suddenly found myself floating in mid-air.
“Huh?”
When I opened my tightly shut eyes, I saw a strong hand that had caught me.
There was only one person around here with such scarred hands.
“Brother-in-law!”
“I told you not to run in the corridors in case you fall.”
His gruff voice made me instinctively shrink back and mumble in response.
“Yes, I won’t do that anymore.”
“Alright, alright.”
Though he was handsome in a manly way, my older brother-in-law, Leopold von Waltrachen, bore a large scar that crossed his face.
In the original story, he was one of the male leads who possessed the strongest might.
Being one of the world’s mightiest, Leopold was neither of average height nor build. Maybe that’s why he often lifted me, a seven-year-old, up and down like a doll.
Even now, he lifted me onto his shoulders.
“Where were you headed? Let me take you there.”
“I want to go to the garden! I want to ride the swing!”
Over the past few months, I had come to know my older brother-in-law up close and found that he was a deeply caring and attentive person.
He had even set up the swing in the garden for me.
That’s why I really liked my older brother-in-law.
The only problem was that I was a little uncomfortable because he told me to recognize Francois as my youngest brother-in-law and be nice to him.
Still, I’m trying to get along with him.
After all, my older brother-in-law was looking at me with interest, so I had to understand and cooperate.
“Where were you going, older brother-in-law?”
“I was on my way to find Lady Regina.”
“Sister Regina?”
“Yeah.”
My older sister, or should I say Leopold’s wife, Lady Regina, got along much better with my older brother than I had thought.
It was because of her lively and cheerful personality that she took the lead in building a relationship with my older brother.
And above all, my older brother really, really liked my older sister.
My older sister also really liked him.
“Liliana.”
Older brother’s voice as he called to me was more serious than usual.
Because of that, my heart raced.
“Uh-huh.”
“Am I your favorite brother-in-law?”
Uh-huh? I tilted my head in doubt, wondering if I had misheard.
Neither the eldest nor the youngest brother, but the older brother was saying that?
However, just to be sure that it wasn’t an auditory hallucination, I tilted my body slightly and saw that his face had turned slightly red.
Snap.
I gently touched my hand to his cheek.
There were only two people in the world who could touch the face of Leopold von Waltrachen, the most feared man in the Empire. They were me and my sister Regina.
“Older brother-in-law, you’re a fool.”
You don’t say it, but you want to be close to me, don’t you?
At that moment, my sister Regina suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor.
“Youngest, were you here? His Majesty arrived an hour early, and we’ll all dine together soon.”
With a gesture from Regina, my older brother-in-law put me down.
Then, with her distinctive snort, she asked.
“Hmm. What were you two up to?”
“…It’s a secret.”
“We’re best friends! We share secrets!”
I grasped and shook my older brother’s rough, calloused hands, causing his pupils to sway subtly.
Older brother-in-law was always unusually surprised whenever I touched him, perhaps because he had been raised in an all-boys boarding school and knighthood.
He probably thinks he would hurt me if he lost control of his strength even slightly.
But I’m already seven years old, so I’m not a baby anymore!
Sister Regina patted my head and said.
“Don’t fight with Edgar today, okay? You know that, right?”
“Edgar is an idiot.”
“Young lady, you have to get along with your friends.”
Edgar was my older brother-in-law’s cousin, who had been separated from his parents at a young age.
Because of that, my older brother-in-law acted as his guardian and he now lived here with us.
“He’s not a friend; he’s more like my subordinate. He’s always following me around.”
Thinking that sister Regina might start nagging, I quickly ran to the kitchen.
As I opened the dining room door and entered, I saw that my eldest sister and my eldest brother-in-law, the Emperor, had just arrived and weren’t even seated yet.
“Big sister—!”
I ran to my eldest sister, Alice, and hugged her tightly.
She was so happy to see me after a week, and she hugged me with all her might.
Then, she twirled me around once in mid-air.
“Have you been well?”
“Uh-huh! I’ve been eating tasty food, learning things, and sleeping well every day!”
“Is that so? Then you must have grown taller, right?”
At my big sister’s question, my eldest brother, who was standing nearby, said teasingly.
“I don’t think you’ve grown much taller. You’re still just a little kid.”
“I’m not a little kid!”
“Really? You’re not a little kid? But you’re only this tall.”
Heat rushed to my face as eldest brother pointed at his waist.
“Eugh…! I hate you, Big Brother!”
“You shouldn’t hate me, right?”
“Nope. I’m going to hate you, Eldest Brother! Bleh!”
I stuck my tongue out, and my eldest sister chuckled.
My eldest brother chuckled slightly and spoke.
“Since you’ve stuck your tongue out at me, you’re banned from the palace for a month!”
“Gasp!”
Being banned from the palace meant that I couldn’t go to see my eldest sister.
Taken aback in surprise, I quickly covered my mouth with my hand, and my big brother laughed triumphantly.
“If you admit that you’re a little kid, I’ll cancel the ban.”
“Um, um…”
I looked back and forth between my eldest brother and sister.
Despite being the Emperor, my eldest brother was easy-going and carefree.
He was undoubtedly the Emperor who had shown insane obsession in the original story, but now he teased me by calling me a little kid whenever he saw me as if he were a mischievous child himself.
If he wasn’t an emperor, I would have already stomped on his feet.
But his wife was the world’s kindest, prettiest, and most wonderful person. It was my eldest sister, sister Regina.
To see her only a month later…
“Hngg… Yes, I’m a little kid…”
When I admitted defeat, my eldest brother chuckled and suddenly spoke in a solemn voice.
“Since you’ve honestly admitted it, I will give an order for the sake of my youngest sister-in-law.”
“Huh? An order?”
“A Royal Decree. From now on, my youngest sister-in-law will live in the palace and receive treatment fit for a princess.”
“Huh? Me?”
“Starting today, you will live in the palace.”
Still in shock, I looked at my eldest sister Regina with my hands covering my mouth.
My eldest sister already seemed to know, as she nodded gently with a soft smile.
I was so excited at the thought of seeing my eldest sister every day that I wanted to jump up and down.
Clink!
A sharp cracking sound reverberated through the dining room.
Sitting in a corner of the dining room, Edgar had dropped the glass of water he was drinking.
“You, you, you…”
Edgar turned pale and rushed toward me.
Without hesitation, Edgar charged at Eldest Brother and headbutted his stomach.
“Oof!”
Eldest brother let out a gasp, and Edgar shouted.
“She’s my subordinate! If you’re taking her, take me along as well!”
“Why would I take you along?! Foolish Edgar, bleh!”
“Hyung! I want to live in the palace, too! If you don’t take me… you won’t see me again!”
Edgar was also eldest brother’s cousin. Or rather, Emperor Marius von Chemelhofen’s cousin.
Older and eldest brothers were first cousins, and Edgar was born between the Imperial Family and a Duchy.
At Edgar’s cry, my mischievous eldest brother’s eyes twinkled.
He gently brushed his chin with his hand and dragged out his words.
“Well, shall we?”
“I don’t want to!”
I quickly protested, making an X sign with my arm.
Then Edgar threw his arm around my shoulder and shouted.
“We’re soulmates! If she’s going, I’m going, too!”
What was he talking about?!
I was about to scream that we weren’t, but eldest brother-in-law smiled broadly and spoke.
“Good! If you’re soulmates, then I can’t separate the both of you.”
Not knowing how to respond to Edgar and eldest brother, I decided to execute my plan to act shamelessly.
I laid down on the floor and pretended to cry.
I buried my face in the marble floor and waved my arms and legs.
“I don’t want to!”
It had been about a year since I came to the Empire.
Three new brother-in-laws appeared out of nowhere, and Edgar, who was my friend and subordinate, followed me around every day.
My eldest brother, who was an obsessed male lead in the original story, now ridiculed me as a piglet or little kid whenever he saw me.
My older brother, who showed tender affection, insisted that he was the best older brother with his stoic face.
My youngest brother, who had been like a deranged villain, went crazy to win my favor.
‘My favorite time was when my sisters and I lived together.’
Back then, every day wasn’t so chaotic.
Who could have known?
The three male protagonists who were once obsessed with the original heroine ended up marrying my sisters.
Although it was a hundred times more fortunate because it was my sisters who ended up with them…
‘How did it end up like this?’
I had hoped the original story would go awry, but I hadn’t done anything.
The original heroine just suddenly died one day.
Right in front of me.
