Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage



"Long ago, before my departure to the academy, I asked Raphael to prolong Mary's life. In exchange, I let him have a night with her. Even though I only allowed it once, he forced Mary to do it four times." 

"Oh, yeah. Raphael really did go far with that." While sipping her cup, Mother agreed with Sister. "Even if he is my son, we cannot just tolerate that and let him slide for everything he did to my daughter." 

I looked around and saw Mom, Sophia, and Gabrielle nodding their heads in agreement with what Mother just said. I was a bit disappointed in Gabrielle for joining them and not her main body, but I eventually let her slide since I was actually guilty of my crimes. 

"I really want to punish that brother of mine using the blade he personally crafted." 

"Want to do it right now, Louise?" 

"I want to, Mom. However, there is one thing that is bothering me." Sister said before glaring at me again. "Raphael, I demand that you respond to my questions honestly." 

"I understand, Sister." I responded while giving her a serious look. 

"Very well. But before questioning you, there is something I need to ask Sophia first." 

"Huh? Me?" 

Sister then shifted her attention toward Sophia, who was just sitting beside me, which made Sophia startle and sit erect upon hearing her name. 

"No need to be aware of me, Sophia; it is not like I am going to bite you." 

Sophia then nodded to my sister. 

"Okay, I will start. This question might invade your privacy, so you don't have to answer if you feel uncomfortable with it." 

"It's fine, Sister Louise." 

"Thank you, Sophia." Sister then cleared her throat. "Okay, Sophia, have Raphael and you done it? You know, in bed?" 

"Um... Actually, we haven't done it yet," Sophia embarrassingly responded with crimson cheeks. "It is just not the right time yet. I hope my response will help." 

"That's more than enough, Sophia. Thank you for your cooperation." 

"Does Sophia's answer have something to do with this matter?" 

After Sister received the answer from Sophia, Mother then asked about the relationship between Sophia's answer and the issue. In response, Sister turned around to face her and answered the question. 

"Yes, Mother, it does. Aside from the fact that Raphael..." as she mentioned my name, Sister briefly took a glance at me and then immediately averted her gaze afterwards. "...did the deed with Mary before with his own fiancee; there is something more about it." 

"What is it, Louise?" Asked Mom. I think you should take a look at

"Actually, after we discussed the payment in regard to Mary's longevity, Raphael mentioned that he could not do it with Sophia yet because she was a minor at that time, even until now. He may be a scum, but at least he still has his moral not to touch an underaged maiden." 

"I will take that as a compliment, I guess."

"Hmph!" She got annoyed by my remark and then fixated on me with serious eyes. "But what bothers me the most is the thing that you told Mary and me before that. You said that you would give your first time to someone you loved, right?" 

"Oh..." 

"If you had done it with Mary several times already, it obviously means that you had spent a night with someone you loved, and it's clearly not Sophia. Raphael, answer me honestly, who did you have your first night with? Have you been cheating on Sophia and seeing someone you loved other than her?" 

So she came up with that conclusion, as expected of her. But how should I deal with it? Should I lie or tell the truth? Whatever the outcome of it, I must respond in the best way I can think of. 

"Hey, Sister." Covering my mouth with my clasped hands as I bent my back, I uttered it in a low tone. "You want me to be honest with you, right? Then I will give you what you want." 

Immediately after I said that, I stood up from my seat. I walked toward her and stopped a meter in front of her to face her. I was standing before her as she still crossed her arms beneath her breasts. 

"Sister, I don't care what you think of me afterwards. You could resent me, hate me, be disgusted with me, whatever you want. But I want you to know the truth. The question is, are you ready to hear it, Sister?" 

"You dare challenge me? Spill it." 

"I will answer the second question first. Yes, I am having affairs with some women other than Sophia." 

Without hesitation, I told my sister about me having other women. But she seemed unaffected by my sudden revelation and just stared at me. 

"I see. Knowing you, I expected you to do something like that someday. It is important as a noble, especially an heir, to successfully have a successor, so having multiple partners would be necessary. Personally, I see no problem with it." 

My sister then took a glance at Sophia, probably to assess her reaction. Sophia silently confirmed Sister's subtle inquiry with a nod. 

"And it seems that Sophia is well aware of it, so no need to sweat it any longer. You said women, so there would be more than one of them." She said as she was returning her attention to me. "Well then, Raphael, what about your answer to the first question?" 

"Before I tell it to you, I want you to cool yourself off as calmly as you can. My answer will surely make you see red, so you need to control your temper." 

"? Why would I get furious just knowing who you gave your pathetic virginity to?" She snorted. "What's the matter with that? Did you sleep with someone you shouldn't?" 

It seemed that Sister was visibly and probably inwardly relaxed. However, there was a high possibility that she might violently erupt like a slumbering, active volcano. But I wanted to tell her who this lucky woman was anyway. 

"Sister, the woman that I spent my first time with was none other than... Mom."
