115-Chapter 7-3, School Visit Part 3

Eww, brother.........

Hi, how are you? Oh, this is my new friend. He's been a good friend of mine in many (...) ways.

The second son of the Marquis de Samoens, Gary, is the one who began to retreat while shouting like a military commander who fell for some scheme.

In contrast, the one who is tapping me on the shoulder with a big smile on his face is Cain, also the eldest son of the Marquis de Samoens.

And standing between them (by Cain) and lightly injured by being screamed at the moment Gary and I met eyes, is the C-ranked adventurer, Temma-kun.......

How did this happen?

Things happened far enough back.

When we arrived at the high school building, we went to the staff room to talk to the high school teachers about our visit. There, the person who responded to us was the dean of the high school, someone who knew the five graduates in our group.

He also knew Gary, Cain's brother, and politely told us where he was now.

Upon hearing this, Cain happily moves to where Gary is.

This dean must have a clear understanding of Cain's character. He had a look on his face that said there was no point in stopping him. And then he glanced at Chris, but Chris shrugged his shoulders and returned the pose as if to say 'no more'.

We left the staff room as if we were chasing after Cain and went to the training ground where Gary was said to be, and Cain, who had found Gary, put me on his shoulders and took me away.

Then back to the beginning.

'Nah nah nah nah.'

'What! Why am I here? That's because I came to visit the school. You're an alumnus, so it's not surprising that you're here, right?

Dodo-dodo-dodo!

'Why do I have Temma with me? That's because my people and my friends got him into trouble. I invited him over to apologize for that as well.

Cain read Gary's indecipherable words with precision and happily replied back to Gary, who was all flustered.

There were a number of classmates in training around Gary, but since Cain was the heir to a senior nobleman and they were surrounded by celebrities who were as famous as or even more famous than Cain, none of them were able to ask why, even though they were intrigued by Gary's attitude.

'Meh - it was tough. Not only did Gary act like an idiot towards Temma. It's not only that Gary behaved like an idiot to Tenma, but also that he saved her life twice, even though she did something she couldn't tell anyone about, and she didn't even apologize or thank him directly, so I had to bow down to her instead............................and she was rude to Mr. Merlin, too? I heard from my dad that he said he was asking why he had to bow down while he was helping me.

The students around me who have heard Cain's line that doesn't sound troubled at all are looking at Gary as if they can't believe what they're seeing.

Mostly because it's not about me, it's about being rude to my grandfather.

Some of the students seemed to know me, but their surprise was even greater than mine when they saw a more famous "wise man".

I was surrounded by Gary, who was pale in the face and said, "What! Seriously! Isn't he an idiot? The students began to talk among their peers, "I admire you for being able to say such things to a wise man, on the contrary~".

Hearing such voices, Gary, who was pulling and shaking, said

'I didn't know about the wise man! I'd never seen him before, and there's no way I'd know it was him if a being I'd only known from books suddenly showed up!

''But that's not true after all the help you've given me! I think you're a person before a nobleman, don't you? Also, if Dad was bowing down and you, my son, were behaving like that, it would be like you're a disgrace to your father's face as well. Of course, not only on my dad, but also on the sign of the Marquess family.

Cain is the one who drives Gary to the bitter end. After hearing Cain's words, the students accuse Gary of not saying thank you when they have to even if the person is not a wise man. His reputation is plummeting.

Gary has been ragged on by Cain and accused by the school students. He's starting to feel sorry for himself, so he's about to offer a helping hand, when he gets backup from an unexpected source.

'Cain, that's about as far as I can go. I don't know how the wise man feels about it, but if something were to happen, he would at least send a protest through the royals or Temma to the Marquess family, right? It's the same with Temma.

What a relief it was Rion who came in to help. Then he looked at me and said, "Right? He asked for my agreement. When I nodded to that, Leon continued.

It's not fair to Temma any more.

I concluded. The first time I've ever seen Leon, who seems to be an aristocrat, I said, "Who is this guy? I thought. And as I looked around, I saw Tida and Luna, Chris-san, Albert and Primera had the same look on their faces as I did.

Cain was surprised by Rion's words, but he looked somewhat unconvinced. For a while, Cain and Rion were staring at each other.

'Well, that too, that was an exaggeration. Sorry, Temma, and thanks, Leon.

And Cain broke off. However, seeing that he didn't speak out against Gary, I guess he's still not completely convinced.

'I'm sorry for making a scene. I'm sorry Gary interrupted your practice, too.

And Albert apologized to the students of the school and pushed Cain back to leave the practice field.

Cain seemed to walk off with Albert meekly, but then suddenly, as if remembering, he turned back to Gary

I'm sorry that I got all hot and bothered about this, too. But, you know, if you do anything else to disgrace the Marquise, I'll turn it off, and I'll put my father on.

Cain reveals a ruthlessness that is unimaginable from his usual appearance. Gary is sitting down as if he has lost his backbone and shaking his head desperately at such Cain. It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with the people you are looking for.

''Oh, I'm sorry~ I showed you something weird. I guess I was more exasperated than I thought I would be~. Then let's go, there's still more to look around.

Cain, who started walking again, didn't show the ruthlessness of earlier, and was sounding cheerful as usual.

However, Amour, the three sisters, and Luna seemed frightened by the earlier Cain, so they went around behind me and kept their distance.

Among them, Amur's fear is unusual. As if he was traumatized in some way, he was trembling with empty eyes, clutching my clothes tightly.

When I saw Cain seeing this, he said, "I won't do anything~" and the light finally returned to his eyes, but from then on, Amour did not try to approach Cain.

'But Cain. Even if I were to give you some advice, couldn't you be nicer?

I think you've been nice enough, don't you?

Cain replied to Leon's words with a twist of his head.

''No, for all intents and purposes, there wasn't an ounce of kindness in it. If you're too strict, she could go off the rails, you know.

''Haha, don't worry, senpai. He doesn't have the guts to do that! Well, it's possible to be inspired, but at that time I'll take care of it responsibly.

As expected of Cain, who answered in a light tone, Chris-san was also dumbfounded. And I can't tell you the truth, I'm also a bit of a don't-buyer.　

Seeing me, Cain chuckled.

I'm the heir to the Marquis' family," he said. As the future head of the Marquess of Samoens, I have to protect many of my subordinates, the nobles under my banner and the people of my domain. Therefore, he has to get rid of anything that harms them, or may be done to them. Even if it's my own brother.......or myself.

The mouth is smiling, but the eyes are not smiling at all, and it has a power that is somewhat similar to that of the kings. It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you want to do with it.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out what I'm talking about.

Because of this exchange, a heavy air began to flow between us.

However.

But what's the point in dying, right?

And Luna suddenly opened her mouth. He probably didn't think too much about it, but when Cain heard it, his eyes widened and he was surprised. And.........

'Pfft! Cooch, hahaha, that's for sure! No, no, yes, yes! There's no point in dying! We need to keep them alive while they're worth it!

What's so funny is that Cain is laughing so hard. Then he misunderstood the meaning of what Luna had said and said something plainly horrible at the end.

'Okay, I've decided! I'll have to give my dad a heads up at night!

Cain was in a good mood again as he seemed to have an idea, and the heavy atmosphere from earlier had dissipated. However, I feel that a new concern has arisen, but everyone was silent so as not to mention it. From that Cain's demeanor, it doesn't seem to be something that would cause us any harm, so by God it's a touchy subject.

After that, we went back to Cain as usual and were shown around the school in turn, but to be honest, what happened in the training grounds had the strongest impact on me, so the other things didn't leave much of an impression on me.

It seemed to be the same with the four people Primera had brought with her, and the three sisters seemed to have gotten bored along the way and moved around on their own, with Primera searching for them every time, and Amour dexterously walking and boating.

It's a good thing that we've gone through all of the important places in the high school, but how did it go?　

When we returned to the purchase, we settled into a seat by the window and were fancying up an afternoon tea time with a break. Most of all, though, it was me who provided all of that.

I was seated in the middle of a long table-like seat, with Chris on my right, Amur on my left, the three sisters who had lost the battle, and Rion in front of me, Cain on my right, Albert on my left, and Primera next to him. By the way, Luna and Tida left in tears because they were just in time to get home (mainly Luna).

''Umm........To be honest, it wasn't much, I guess. Especially the class level.

The upper school classes we observed (remedial) were combat arts, magic, history, and math (...).

As for the combat arts, most of them have abilities (...) lower than the three sisters, and even the students with the highest abilities are a bit higher than the three sisters. However, if they fought in a real battle, they would almost certainly lose to the three sisters. Of course, in a one-on-one fight, that is. Many of them only learned the techniques (...) and didn't know the basics.

In witchcraft, we went from basic theory to practice of magic. But in terms of content, it was less difficult than what my mom and grandpa taught me when I was a kid. It's a good thing that the students seem to be more interested in flashy, good-looking magic than in highly efficient magic, and this one, like the fighting techniques, seems to have neglected the basics.

I'm not that confident about history, because I don't study that much detail, but I was a little surprised that I was at a level where I could answer the question. Moreover, there seemed to be a lot of bias in terms of content (convenient history of the aristocracy), so I think it would be better to have more neutral books written in a more neutral way, or more genre books.

And finally, math (...). It's not math (...) by any means. Of the four rules of arithmetic, there is a large proportion of addition and subtraction and less multiplication and division. Moreover, there are not many problems using sentences, and the students have to solve the formulas given by the teacher.

I heard that there were a few other classes that I wasn't able to observe, but I'm sure the ones I was able to observe were disappointing.

'It's jarring to my ears. But most of the students who were in that class are kids who are in the quickest position to be counted from the bottom up.

Yeah! As expected, the Royal Academy isn't going to be at that level.

Following Chris-san, Rion is also following the school. However, from the side of the

'I was a regular at that (remedial) place when it came to Leon. The academic ones.

I was easily dismissed. Then they started to struggle, so Chris sent them to the end of the table, and Albert moved to the front of me.

'Call it this way, but most of the students in there were either failing or under-credited, so it may not be helpful. And students with excellent grades don't go out of their way to attend make-up classes during the holidays. Well, even so, it's still a cloud of difference compared to Temma.

Albert explained that the students who were taking the remediation were the lower-achieving students, separated from the higher-achieving students, and the class content was dropped considerably. Apparently, the classes for the higher-ranked students are two or three degrees of difficulty higher.　

Otherwise, the students who excel in one skill - in other words, brainiacs - would be in a rush to be expelled from the school. By the way, Rion is by far the best in martial arts, but in academics he was at the bottom of the pack. That's why he made it into the A class, so he was, in a sense, the most conspicuous student.

''Well, there are other reasons why Rion stood out, though~''

Chris seems to be enjoying himself. He really wants to talk about it.

Hey, sir!

Albert leaned forward to cover Chris's mouth, but Chris quickly dodged his hand and kept his distance.

'To tell you the truth, Temma-kun. At that time, these three men were so effeminate that rumors began to circulate that they were the male chauvinists. And since they were the heirs of a high ranking nobleman, they were even more conspicuous. There was even a fan club...behind the scenes.

Chris had a very nice smile on his face, but Albert had a very dark look on his face. The other two were still struggling.

Primera seemed to know this, of course, and smiled bitterly.

'And there's more to that story. In order to show that he is not a male chauvinist, Rion asked a lot of girls to come to him, but none of them were taken in by him. There is a theory that the fan club had their hands in the background.

Albert had calmed down a bit, as if he wasn't involved in this story. But the hand holding the cup of tea was shaking. There's still something going on. And out of the mosquito net, the two men were pulling each other's cheeks with their hands on the other's cheeks. They're like children.

'Ne-need-need! Rion, impatient and impatient, now tried to break into the women's bathhouse. Maybe he was trying to impress me with the fact that it was a woman he was interested in or something, but I was in the women's bathhouse at the time. I kicked him out as fast as I could and knocked him unconscious. Oh, it was before I got undressed at that time, so they didn't see me naked. If they had, Rion wouldn't be a man anymore.

''Chris-senpai, that's enough of that.......even if we're talking about it, he's a heir to a frontier county family.......''　

Albert tries to stop Chris, but Chris doesn't stop.

You must have done that on purpose!　　

Albert's cry echoed through the purchase. Hearing his voice, the two men who had been having an ugly fight earlier finally noticed us.

Both of them are pulling their cheeks too much and have very funny faces.

''Chris-san, in case you're wondering, these three are the heirs of a high ranking noble. Is it okay, you're teasing me so much........''

Normally, Chris-san would have been cut off for insulting them, but he didn't seem to mind doing it to them. So I asked him about it, but he didn't seem to mind. Then the three of them quietly looked away.

'Don't worry about it. This much is known to anyone involved in those days, and with a little research... and these three guys did a lot more than that. Every time they did that, they got angry at me too. You're in charge of these three, aren't you? If I hadn't been there, the three of them...or rather Leon would have been expelled from the school.

I don't know what else they had done, but it seems that these three guys were quite problematic kids at the time. The three of them didn't seem to be able to get their heads around Chris-san, who was taking care of them.

I don't know if my thoughts were on my face or not, but Albert and Cain started making excuses as if they were in a hurry.

'No, wait a minute, stop that eye! We just got caught up in Leon!

'Yes! We're the victims! It's Leon's fault, we've always been treated unfairly!

The two men sell their friends as fast as they can. Rion tries to argue something, but Cain covers his mouth and Albert instantly blocks his movements. In that state, he begins to reveal the story of how he got involved with Rion, but I think the reason why these three are so popular with the rotten ladies is because they have a lot of this kind of skin in the game on a regular basis.

The two of them don't realize that, and they have naturally built up a rotten relationship with Rion.......but in the brain of their fan club.

'Isn't it about time for you to have some free time (cousin)?'

When the jostling between the three of them had come to an end, the primera started to hesitate.

It's a good idea to have a few more hours of daylight, but the time to call it evening is coming.

It's definitely that time of day. As Primera says, it's time to go home. It has been interesting to see the three of you for the first time in a while.

Chris was the first to agree and stretched lightly. His expression is very sunny.

In contrast, the three people who had been played with seemed to be very tired, but still, seeing that they didn't complain to Chris, they seemed to have their hierarchical relationships firmly in place.

'Temma, I'm hungry.'

Amur was mostly asleep while the three of them were being played with by Chris-san. However, he seemed to have become quite uncomfortable with Cain after just one day, as he opened his eyes and was immediately alerted whenever he occasionally felt Cain approaching him.

'Well, that was more fun than I thought it would be,'

'But I don't think I'm going to bother enrolling in the school to study.

It's a waste of money.

The three sisters seemed to enjoy themselves there, but they couldn't seem to see the point of enrolling in the school. It's true that the three of them are earning a decent amount of money as adventurers, so there's no point in paying money to reduce the amount of time they spend earning. Well, I agree with me on this, and I think it's true for most adventurers.

After we left the purchase, each of us saying whatever we wanted, we greeted each other by the headmaster's office, and then headed to grandpa's mansion.

When we arrived at the mansion, everyone came in together. They seemed to be eager to ask for dinner.

The number of people suddenly became large, but Aina seemed to have anticipated this to some extent, and a considerable amount of food had been prepared. Although he had returned to the royal castle, the contents of the special training he had Jeanne and Aura do were written in the note, and as for the amount of dinner, since there will probably be a lot of guests coming, I made a lot of food. If there is any left over, please save it properly. And there was.　

I was grateful to Aina as I checked the quantity, but as expected Aina didn't seem to think that Primera and the others would be joining us, and it was quite unwilling.

So I decided to prepare a few simple pasta sauces and take a bath before the meal.

Preparing a bath is easy enough to do with magic, so I got ready immediately and then called out to everyone and they all went in. Well, a few of them seemed to be expecting a mixed bath, but our home bath was rebuilt when I came here, so it's divided into men's and women's baths.

Moreover, each bathroom has no open-air baths, but is equipped with a white hot water bath, a bath tub, a sauna, a water bath, a reclining bath, and an all-volunteer bath for Shiroumaru and his friends. To be honest, they are even more magnificent than the royal baths, so much so that the king once asked me to build one for him.

But because there is no suitable place to build it, and because it's difficult for anyone other than me to maintain it due to the lavish use of original magic tools, the king cried and gave up.

When I get out of the bath, it's a mess. Moreover, this time Aina, a powerful stopper, isn't there, and instead, the guys who love to party are all here. Rion, Cain, and the three sisters.......Rion.

In addition, Aura has escaped from Aina's spell, and Namitarou is even more excited than usual.

''I feel like Wai's time has come somewhere in the world!

He said. I'd like to say it was just my imagination, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was receiving radio signals beyond the world, as far as that guy was concerned.

However, Chris-san left immediately after the bath, due to the convenience of the Kingsguard. The fact that Chris-san left made me worry that the king and the others would not be able to hear about the banquet.

So I sent a letter and a bribe (shampoo and rinse) to Maria-sama-te and asked her to take care of the kings.

This would prevent the kings from breaking in. Well, I don't mind if they come, but I'm sure the other members won't be able to enjoy it.

That plan seemed to work brilliantly, and today's party continued until late into the night.

It's a very good idea to be able to have a good time with your friends and family.

The only problem is that the amount of alcohol he drank was not very much, and we immediately treated him with magic (we used water system recovery magic to dilute the alcohol in his body and at the same time activated his liver's function), so he didn't suffer from acute alcohol poisoning.

By the way, the culprit is Namitaro (in this case, a criminal fish?) It was.

The reason for this was that a flushed out Namitaro had poured some sake into the glass of the primera in a joke. Namitaro said, "I thought you could smell it or taste it, but I didn't expect you to chug it. I didn't expect you to chug it down in one gulp...

As expected, Albert protested and Namitaro was found guilty, wrapped up in a fish tank and hung from the ceiling. Only, "You're like a rough-rolled carp! And since I had plenty of time to spare, my magic (stun) then forced me to sleep.

Furthermore, it was then that the man (Rion), who didn't read the air

They might take you home someday for drinking and getting drunk!

I was looked at white by the men as well as the women.

Well, there were some happenings, but after everyone enjoyed the feast, they all went home.

The three girls and the drunken Primera, Albert drove them to their quarters, while Cain and Leon went to their respective mansions.

Amur had intended to stay at home, but he reluctantly walked back to the inn, getting fist-bumped by his guardian (Blanca) who came to pick him up.

We went back to our respective rooms as well, but on the way there we decided to collect Namitaro firmly and throw him outside to sleep.

----------------

In the middle of the night, the head of the house, Carlos von Sammons, returned home to the Marquis de Sammons' residence.

Because it is a separate residence in the royal capital, Carlos himself only stays there about three to four months a year, but the mansion is always kept clean.

Because when he is not there, his sons mainly use it. His sons, on the contrary, don't often return to their family home in Samoens territory. It's not that they are independent, the second son is a student at a school in the royal capital, so he basically lives in a dormitory, but occasionally he uses a separate residence.

Therefore, it is the eldest son who is most often at the villa. The eldest son will eventually become the next head of the family, so even after graduating from the academy, he remains in the royal capital and is still studying as a nobleman. However, depending on how you look at it, there are aspects of hostage taking.......

But even if it is a hostage, the royal family's confidence in the Marquis de Samons is high, and even if they had sent their eldest son back to their own fiefdom, the royal family wouldn't think the Samons had any animosity. However, some of the other nobles might not think so. That's why the eldest son still lives in the royal capital.

It's a good idea to have a good friend in the same year, and since they also live in the royal capital, they don't seem to have any feelings about it. It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

I've been waiting for the return of Carlos and his eldest son, Cain von Sammons.

His second son has not come back. However, Carlos is not worried because the second son seems to have a dislike for Cain, who is said to be better than him, and he rarely comes back when Cain is around. In fact, it is more often than not worried that he will do something strange against Cain.

'So Cain. What's the important thing to talk about?

Cain, who was waiting for them to return, had something important to say to Carlos, so they moved to Carlos' study. Here, the servants don't have to worry about being overheard since they don't get near much, so they don't have to worry about being overheard.

''I met with Gary at the school today. So I've been thinking about a lot of things there, and I've been thinking that we should either adopt Gary into another family or decide on a fiancé right now. And I'd like to find my fiancé as well.

What's going on? You weren't on board when I told you about my fiancé before.　

Carlos looks surprised. Cain is currently twenty-two years old, and it's very unusual for a powerful nobleman to be single until that age. If this was the second or third son, it would not be surprising, but if it was the eldest son, it would be normal for him to have at least a fiancée.

However, Cain, annoyingly, had a childish streak and kept putting off talking about it for all sorts of reasons, saying that he enjoyed spending time with his friends more.

Fortunately, the Samons have the rank of marquis, so if you look for one, you can find a fiancée in less than a day. But I think it's time for me to stop being so selfish, so I'm going to order Cain to look for his fiancée as head of the family in the near future. It's just a matter of crossing over.

But Carlos thought that Cain would object again and imagined that he would have a hard time, so on the contrary, he might have something in his heart. I braced myself.

'Don't be so alarmed. I just realized. That I have to make good use of my value. And that Gary still has a lot of value to use, too.

Carlos was more than a little surprised. He wondered how he could make such a face at Cain.

He knew that he usually did stupid things with his friends and sometimes said and did foolish things, but he still thought that he was very capable of being a nobleman. However, the son (Cain) in front of me now is growing up to be more aristocratic than I imagined he would be.

If this was an attempt to use only Gary, you would think they would have had a sibling rivalry, but the way he tries to use even his own future is truly aristocratic.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with the Samos family in the near future, even if something happens to you. However, it was at least a few years away.

'I understand why. Tomorrow I'll start looking for a potential fiancé... what do you hope to find?

In response to Carlos' question, Cain thought for a moment, then

'Firstly, I want the adoption to be for the good of the Samons, secondly, he's not an idiot, and thirdly, his relatives are not idiots. The second and third are selfishness on my part, so that's the extent of it, if possible.

I replied. At this point, Carlos has several candidates in his mind.

'Okay, let's do good on the second and third. So what about Gary?

Normally this is the role of Carlos, the head of the family, and it's not for others to interfere, but when it came to this point, Carlos decided to ask Cain what he thought, so he asked Cain a question.

'Well I don't ask Gary's fiancée for family status. We only want to know if it is beneficial to the Sammons family. If it's beneficial, then that's exactly what I'm willing to give him to a merchant for a son-in-law. Gary is an aristocrat in his own right. Even if his son-in-law is a commoner, it would be possible to give him the rank of a nobleman with the power of the Samons family. On top of that, I'll keep him in check. I can't let him go to a place of power poorly, and I can't let him be seduced.

Carlos made a bitter face at Cain's words. After all, Gary had a criminal record. Not only did he pick a fight with someone who could have dealt a major blow to the Sammons family, but he also had a criminal record of almost creating a situation that could turn an entire city against him if he was not good enough.

''That's certainly true. We don't want you to have any ambitions. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. There will be those who will look askance at that. And from those people's point of view, Gary is very easy to use we might as well get to that first.

Cain nodded, as if there was nothing more troublesome than his useless and stupid relatives.

'So. I said Gary first, but there's one guy who would be a perfect candidate for your fiancé...　

'I don't think you should do that, Miss Primera.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.

''The First Duke of Sanga will not let go of Miss Primera. He loves her the most out of all his children, and she has a man near her who is more valuable than me. And, perhaps, the royal family won't think well of you.

Carlos seemed surprised by this answer. The matter of the Duke of Sanga is the same as Carlos's thoughts, but he didn't expect it to come up to the royal family.

''I think it would be most convenient for the royal family to have Miss Primera marry into Temma. Because the only way for Temma to marry Miss Primera is for Temma to raise her to nobility or for Miss Primera to descend to commoner status. If she were to step back, the Duke of Sangha would not look good, so the royal family would inevitably make Temma a nobleman. Even if Temma doesn't like the rank of nobleman, if he's in a relationship with Miss Primera to think about marrying her, he'll at least receive a knighthood. And although Temma's birthplace is unknown, if her parents are former noblemen, there's no problem in awarding her a title, and her accomplishments so far have made her a solid count. Well, it's probably a baron at first, but it's only a matter of time.　

So Cain took a break and looked at Carlos' condition. Carlos also listened to Cain's story and listened quietly since there was nothing strange about it at the moment.

After confirming this, Cain continued to speak more.

''And after I make Temma an earl, I will marry Princess Luna to Temma. In this case, the princess has a higher family status, but the royal family will take care of Duke Sanga-sama and will treat both of them as regular rooms. Temma wouldn't refuse to marry Princess Luna, and the same goes for Miss Primera, so I don't think this would be a problem. As for the child, I don't see any problem with this, as long as the Primera's child is the official successor, and the Luna girl is given a grand duchy or a royal family that has been cut off. As an added bonus, if you make Jeanne, who is Temma's maid, a side-chamber, some neutral nobles might switch to the royalists. Of course, this is my own imagination, so I'm not saying it's the right answer, but since it's His Majesty, it's not surprising that he's thinking about this much. Besides, if I went to the Duke of Sanga to ask Miss Primera to be my fiancée and he refused, I'm concerned about the deterioration of our relationship because of our reputation. Therefore, you should not do that with Miss Primera. The risk to us is too great.

At this, Carlos couldn't laugh it off as being delusional. If Cain's idea was right, it wouldn't be a good impression from the royal family as well as the Sanga dukes. The Marquesses of Samoens were close enough to both families to say why they couldn't think of that idea.

''It will be my son's generation at the earliest that he will be related to the Duke of Sangha's family.

When Carlos saw Cain (his son) talking in a slightly dim manner as usual, Carlos felt a little frustrated because he thought he was over his own thoughts.
