Chapter 287

Chapter 287. Is this a match! (1) It seemed determined.

Mom knows about me, but I see right through her as well.

Do not underestimate the sticky bond of a hat.

The gaze I sent when I was leaving.

Undoubtedly, this is a decision that will not be taken lightly.

Maybe I can't procrastinate any longer.

‘Well... you've endured just what you've endured so far, right?'

Even if I tried to take him, there was no one who could handle it.

My situation is completely different.

I'm sorry, but that's true.

Right now, the issue of my marriage and succession is not simply a topic of discussion among the aristocrats in the kingdom, but a matter of deep interest in other countries as well.

In particular, the issue of succession is bound to be more sensitive.

Originally, there is nothing strange about having a successor sooner, which is the custom here.

In this era, the more influential the man, the more important the marriage discussion becomes.

Depending on who I am tied to, the ranking of superiority and inferiority of Ernesia Kingdom and other countries may also be shaken.

That's why I deliberately... only pretended to be cautious.

He pretended to be decent, but in reality he didn't keep away from women like a monk.

....If I have to clarify, I've been doing everything I could.

I didn't become the main character of rumors for nothing.

However, no matter how free I was, I never had a decisive accident.

I was quite careful.

Until now, when important marriage talks came in, I somehow avoided it with an excuse, but that is also the limit.

‘Because recently, there have been too many people besides my mom asking about it.'

These days, the first thing everyone asks when they see my face is this.

‘So, is there someone you have a crush on, Arell-nim? If not...

....Recently, on a real holiday, I've been reminded of what it feels like to ask, ‘When are you getting married?'

It's been a while since I've felt like this.

Because in order to be in this situation, the world has to be at least somewhat peaceful.

Who will get married in a world where wars and disasters do not end?

It's been a long time since I've been through a rough world.

But, to be honest, it's really embarrassing.

because.

‘What can I do? Didn't you think about it?'

In the meantime, I've seen a lot of confrontation.

However, there is no more meaning than that, as long as it is formally arranged so that it does not cause unnecessary confusion.

I'm sorry to the young ladies who are desperately trying to look good to me, but I'm out at the point where I'm just aiming for my reputation.

Are you not a romantic enough to talk about true love?

But if you don't have a heart, you don't like it.

Thinking about it made my mouth feel dry, so I thought about it while munching on the chocolate snack topped with whipped cream.

Well, well! gulp!

Now come, ‘I'm married to my ex.

I plan to dedicate my life to the manor.'

Even if I say that, no one will believe me.

I don't believe in the country either.

Rumors about my personal life these days are great.

It's the kind of gossip that good kids can't tell.

I knew at least that there were rumors going around that would make the neat young ladies cover their mouths and blush when they heard it.

Of course you know.

But what?

I can't really deny that.

Of course, not everything is true, but if you listen to it occasionally, there are rumors that really prick your conscience.

....Honestly, more than half were stabbed.

Looking back, I wondered if I was too faithful to my desires.

No, before that, you guys aren’t in a position to say anything to others, are you?

Everyone has a private life that you can't talk about in front of others, right?

Everyone has at least one obscene beast or a black flame dragon in their heart, right?

Just being honest about life and desires.

I just live with the mindset of enjoying everything.

Even so, I don't think it's a bit too much for rumors to spread that I have a future beyond my father's.

No, not to that extent?

The store manager, who got married last month, smiles shyly.

Apparently, I often come out to kill time, so I remember a little about the staff's congratulations and condolences, so I vaguely remember them.

I'm sure you heard that she married a merchant who opened a shop in the city?

I didn't care who it was, so I couldn't remember more.

First of all, since he is a clerk at my store, I think he sent me at least a congratulatory gift.

It wasn’t that I came to the store on a particularly fictitious day and took care of it because I was bothered by it.

First of all, welfare is taken care of. The lord himself.

This is the quality of Arel's work welfare.

So, anyone can get married with peace of mind.

We proudly put forward this slogan.

....Although it's ironic that I'm grumbling about marriage.

“Hey lord? By the way, I heard the lord just said, are you getting married now?”

“Um, maybe?”

At least sooner or later? But why are you asking that?

As I am puzzled, I exchange strange glances between the manager and some of the clerks who know my identity.

Some of those clerks clenched their fists and said, ‘Yes!' I am delighted, and the others show a little pity.

Why are they like that?

“... Did you guys make any bets?”

“That is not it. We talked for a while.”

“Are you going to look at this and be honest?”

Seeing him avoiding his eyes, I think he did it.

I have no intention of saying anything about it.

Basically, my motto is ‘Everyone's Neighborhood Kind Lord'.

If it's overly rude, I'll say something, but well, don't just pass this on.

But... I'm a bit curious as to why they bet so much on not doing it.

“Ah, but it's not like I don't understand the lord's worries.”

The store manager said that as if he was deliberately trying to divert his words.

“Everyone thinks about marriage two or three times in their lifetime.”

“...Isn’t it usually just once?”

Do you have something to think about twice?

“And most of the other guests are worried because they can’t do it. In other words, it is worrying about being full.”

“Hey, don’t talk too much about having no dreams or hopes.”

This woman hits people with sneaky facts.

You recently got married and have awakened to the law of beating people with facts.

After all, married women are strong.

Several young ladies in the store shrug their shoulders as if they heard that.

The store manager's remarks unintentionally caused wide-area damage within the store.

In what sense is this not auditory terrorism?

I'm not worried because I can't do it.

It's a little extravagant to think about not doing it when you can.

“Anyway, wouldn't it be better not to worry too much?”

“Ahahahaha... is that so? Um, but how come the number of young women who come to the store has increased recently? Is it because of your mood?”

I decided to change the topic slightly because I thought that many women would continue to suffer damage if I continued to talk about marriage.

It's not just something I've said, but I suddenly noticed that the proportion of women among customers has increased recently.

When I occasionally go out to play in the city, I stop by the store, so naturally my eyes were drawn to that point.

First of all, it's fashionable, so I'm concerned about it.

Even such trivial information will be of great help to your business skills.

Well, it's because I'm half bored.

“Are these new chocolates popular with women?”

“actually.... There are things like that, but those customers aren’t really looking for chocolate, are they?”

When I asked, the store manager gave a somewhat embarrassed smile and said that.

“Isn’t chocolate your goal?”

This is a chocolate shop? What does that mean?

Did you sell other products without my knowledge?

But I've never seen such a report.

No, it's not that there's no possibility that I spilled it because I was skipping.

Anyway, I don't remember.

“Come to think of it, all the other guests seem to be looking for something different? army.”

“Actually, a new clerk came into the store a while ago.”

“A new clerk?”
