Damn, gingers can't even catch a break in a fantasy world

Yes, that was established in chapter 5, also he's not a brother but from a different family, presumably that was his father he just killed at the end of this chapter.

Did no one read chapter 5 or something? He directly references the epic of Wilhelm in his internal monologue

How silly of me, forgetting about a minor detail that I read about 9 months ago... /s

Did no one read chapter 5 or something?

How long ago was that chapter released?

And thus NTR hero makes his next moves.

I completely forgot about Wilhelm

unrelated to the discussion...just wanted to say I love that avatar.

Big kudos on the artist here. The face of the queen after MC answer about his mother… you can clearly see that she feel bad for him. Her face is plastered with “no boy should feel that way (or not feel anything at all) about their mother”...
I wonder if she will actually be able to act on this sentiment. That would be cute. Q_Q

(Seriously, my heart squirmed seeing her face in that panel. Q_Q )

Hard agree. It's honestly kind of boring when the empress in these types of stories is evil. Making them empathetic is way more interesting and gives a lot more room for character development

Ah, so the other brother is a reincarnator as well. Interesting twist on a sometimes overused trope.

no, that's not the other brother

So we have two people acting on somewhat faulty history books (because the winner wrote it—or had an effect on the one writing it—to make himself look better than he was... like instagram selfies and life posts).

In a way, this should help things go better because Wilhelm probably didn't train as hard due to his knowledge, while Rudolph is doing more than he's ever done and can one day surpass Wilhelm.

Now, on a meta level, is there a reason why the villager was sent back as Rudolph? Because if the story changes, so does the villager's fate, thus preventing the change. Assuming that much thought has gone into this story, is it perhaps that a previous reincarnator messed up the original history and thus the main character becomes Rudolph in order to re-correct the history? And Wilhelm gets a new soul from the future because the original challenger to upper management doesn't want that?

If so, who was the original reincarnator? Was it perhaps Rudolph's original personal maid? She was wielding psychology as a weapon to such a degree that she was able to force Rudolph to become king so she could rule from behind... which is probably the best a maid could do. Almost like she had knowledge a maid wouldn't normally have.

With how MC's mom was evil, and the evil brother's mom is nice, I'm half expecting a twist where for some bizarre reason, the kids actually got swapped and this is his real mom.
