(On My Life) Propose to Lady Hazel

Luden, the most peaceful village in the empire.

Hazel, whose older brother Felix was once the village’s only source of peace-breaking trouble—a useless fool and compulsive liar—finally comes to his senses and now wants to build a modest life with a sincere husband. But that damn brother keeps interfering with her marriage prospects.

“Hazel, the lord’s son won’t do. He’ll cheat three times.”

……Why would the lord’s son want to marry me?

“The duke is dangerous too. Don’t be fooled by that shiny face.”

……No, the duke doesn’t even want to marry me.

“Don’t even look at that black-haired man. He’s actually an assassin.”

……Hey, how do you know the identity of some mysterious assassin?

It seems her brother has not actually come to his senses after all.

***

“We’re going to be rich. Hazel will walk only flower-strewn paths.”

Like he had seen the future, her brother’s lies came true. Every product she touched sold like hotcakes, and the general store filled up with money. The lord’s son, the duke, and many other men proposed to her. Everything her brother said was right. Except for one thing.

“Lady Hazel, will you marry me?”

Brother, you never said the emperor would propose.
