"So, the first thing I want you older brothers to do is..."

I stood and looked at the three brothers sitting on the sofa in the drawing room.

I found this fresh situation in the Williams household quite interesting. And I've spoken to Big Brother Henry and Big Brother Albert individually, but it felt like it had been a long time since I'd had a proper conversation with all three of them, including Big Brother Alan.

"I want you to come up with a plan for blowing up the royal palace."

I said that with a gleeful voice, as if adding a heart to the end of the sentence.

After a few seconds of frozen silence, all three of my brothers looked at each other and shared the same expression.

""What?""

...their expressions of surprise were the same. They really were brothers.

"It's not that difficult. Just blow up the royal palace with a bang."

"It's a capital offense."

Big Brother Henry answered in a serious voice.

"The mastermind is me - Alicia Williams! And don't worry, I'll take full responsibility. By the way, how about... 'Julie Seeker assassination'?"

I speak calmly and matter-of-factly.

It looked like my brothers weren't following what I was saying.

"Are you trying to ruin the Williams family's reputation?"

"That's why! I'll take full responsibility!"

Only Big Brother Henry responded.

Big brother Albert and Big brother Alan didn't seem to have expected my words at all, and it seemed that they still couldn't process them in their brains.

Of course, even if I took full responsibility, the Williams family's reputation would temporarily fall.

However, I believe in making use of everything that I could. I would also utilize my position as a member of the Williams family.

Uncle Will and the three wise men have been sacrificed, and I have no choice but to carry out the "Royal Assassination Plan" again.

Although the methods were entirely different, they were falsely accused... Well, I've got a proper plan, so it was not a false accusation.

Uncle Will was replaced by me, and the three wise men were replaced by my brothers.

I'm well aware of how dangerous a gamble this would be. What's more, three people would be the victims.

Because of me, the Williams family would be in big trouble again. ...However, unless I execute a plan this bold, there would be no way I could confront Julie-sama directly.

The King may be the one to pass judgement, but since we're going to proceed "Julie-sama Assassination Plan", we should just hope that she appears.

...I'll have to do this without Duke-sama finding out.

I have a feeling that Duke-sama would be furious if he found out, but sometimes I have to accomplish things on my own without his help! 

I've always relied on him. And I would like to show him that I could do it on my own sometimes.
