"Tempura, Merlin, I'm so sorry!"
The explanation that began with the apology of his brother-in-law, Count Sal Thermo, was that he felt very unlucky.
First of all, the reason my mother's ex-girlfriend came to this wedding was simply because the minister of the Earl of Sal Thermo invited her in.The minister, the Viscount Brown (mother's parents' home), said that he and I were classmates in school and had a good relationship.The Browns, who knew the wedding, used its edge to dive into the wedding and try to resolve their discord with the Otori family.Normally, no matter how much I hated the Viscount Brown, I thought I might be in a good mood for a wedding, so I thought I might be able to do something about it (I also thought about using my name to connect with big aristocrats like the Duke of Sanga)... Conversely, I couldn't imagine that I would be in a bad mood if the Viscount Brown was destroyed. I don't know if I was an idiot who couldn't be saved, or if I'd been hunted down to a situation where there wasn't much later... well, both.
Incidentally, the minister who invited the Viscount Brown became blind to the victory of the Viscount Brown and the profits of his success (he thought he could sell thanks to several leading figures, including the Otori family).In addition, the fact that you didn't understand my personality at all is probably one of the reasons for the disturbance.
Count Sal Thermo, who knew about the runaway of such a minister, was angry enough to beat down the minister and Count Brown on the spot the moment he found them, and tried to slip out and cut off his neck.However, Lyle stopped me just before I cut off my neck, so I didn't seem to see any blood except when they bled from my nose or mouth when they were beaten.
The Duke of Sanga said, "That idiot!He said that he tried to cut his neck off at the ceremony on his wedding day, that he had troubled Lyle, and that he had bled near the king.One of the reasons why the Count beat them down on the spot was that Count Brown was waiting to approach the King, but it was also an act that could put the Kings in danger if one step went wrong, in which case the Kings could stop attending the wedding and return to the royal castle.In that case, it would have been possible to cancel the wedding, and the Counts of Sal Thermo would have taken responsibility for it, as would the Duke of Sanga.
The Duke of Sanga said he had no problem taking them out before he knocked them out in front of the kings and beating them somewhere out of sight.Well, it would certainly still stand out, but in that case it would have been the guests, but Ding and Jean, who were also the guards, or the guards on the Duke's side.
"But because of the beatings in front of His Majesty, Maria and the royal family, Lyle moved."
"I think there was a problem with Lyle, who moved in disregard of Ding and the others... but that's not what I'm talking about, is it?"
"Oh, I couldn't have known or learned later if I hadn't been in front of the royals.That's what I'm saying.... "
"If you do it in front of a boulder, you can't fool it.As a duke or a royal family. "
It was a problem because it was a gathering of people who could do whatever they didn't see, but they did it in front of people.From my point of view, it seems that there is also a cause for Lyle's departure, but there are also circumstances where the Count moved inadvertently because he was a junior and familiar when Lyle was in school.That's why I thought I was unlucky.
As it is possible that the worst wedding will be cancelled, so I have to think of a way to force the Count to deceive me….I'm in a troubled position... Well, if my mother's ex-girlfriend's house is involved, it seems to me that there is some cause, and above all, I can't cancel the wedding, so I don't know what to do, but I have to do something.
That's how I figured out how to cheat.
"In other words, Hendrick's brother-in-law thought of me and his angry body moved too much, right?"
The Count didn't try to beat two people with anger and slash them away, but he was angry because he almost ruined my brother-in-law and my sister-in-law Primera's day.
Although it may be a rather painful deception, my family's relationship with the Viscount Brown family since my grandfather's age is a famous story, so it seems like we can make many allies by disseminating a story that successfully mixes facts and lies to the public.In addition, if you can get a compliment from the King to the Count in one word, the truth that it was for me will increase, and even if there are some problems, the Count's honor will be protected.Then we might be able to show the size of the king's vessel.
"For now, let's use that line to get confirmation from the King and Maria."
"Well, I wouldn't say no, but I have a lot of weaknesses in Alex and Ernest for this kind of time... but I think I might be forced to cooperate."
My plan is to use the royal family, so I have to get permission from the king and Maria to do it.Well, the kings also seem to hate the Viscount Brown because of their father and mother, so they'll complain a little, but they'll cooperate.
Grandpa also had a happy expression and carefully selected the two weaknesses in his head, whether it was that or this.
"Well then, (...) Yoshi (...) Father (...) Nh (...), (...) Yoshi (...) Brother (...) Nh (...), I'm going to say hello to the kings."
"Your Majesty and Maria will go down to the private waiting room and I will guide you."
After I refused the Duke and Count, I took Eina with my grandfather to the kings.
And in conclusion, my plan was soon to be adopted.And finally, Lyle apologized to me for being angry when I sat down.Anything, Lyle told the King and Maria that they should have run Din or Jean without chasing the Count there.Normally, Master Lyle would know that much, but since the Count was a junior and familiar, he thought he had to stop and his body moved.
"That's how this disturbance is going to end."
"I'm not happy that I can play with Alex and Ernesto, but now I can have a wedding without any problems."
Returning to Primera's waiting room and reporting back to the Duke of Sanga and the Count, the Duke of Sanga had a stunned look and the Count had a reassuring look.
"So, what about the Viscount Brown and your brother-in-law's minister?"
"The Viscount Brown will probably crush it.I didn't have a good reputation in the first place, and the Vicomte didn't even run properly, so I started this disturbance.Since the commotion did not deserve the death penalty, the Vicomte would have been imprisoned, and his family would have let the Vicomte's parents take it or expelled it somewhere far away. "
"As for our minister, I intend to transfer him to County territory, imprison him and punish him afterwards."
As for the Vicomte, he was imprisoned for attempting to ruin the King's invited wedding by causing trouble such as trespassing, although it was not worthy of death, and the Vicomte Brown family was to be crushed, but the family had room for discretion, so his sentence was commuted from the joint prison, and if there was a handler (supervisor), it would be left to you, but if he did not come forward, he would be expelled to a place far from the King's capital.As for the Count's subordinates... the Count is not clear, but it looks like he's going to be executed after he's been imprisoned.Lyle stopped me, but the Count would probably be most likely because he was going to leave his minister and Countess Brown to be angry and slaughtered.
The Duke of Sanga and Count Salthermo apologized again and went to the other participants.
"Whatever happens, I'm telling you, there's not enough time to relax until the start time...?"
"Perhaps you're right. Some guests may have plans after this, so I'm sure some would like you to start as soon as the trouble subsides."
Eina replied that the start time was largely late and that if the problem subsided, it would start as soon as possible.And as soon as Eina answered, she came to tell the staff at the venue to get ready.
Eina, I'm sorry, but I need you to check out Primera's costume with me.
I don't think it is dirty, but it may have wrinkles, so Eina is suitable to be able to see the details and be accustomed to this kind of thing.Even if I'm wrong, I can't ask Aura.I'll definitely miss it or I'll make it easier for you.
"Neither Tempura nor Primera is a problem."
"Well, tell the staff you can start at any time."
Roger that.
Eina came back with her staff a few minutes later when she told them that her checks had been completed successfully.Anything, if Primera and I were ready, he wanted to start the ceremony immediately by telling the guests.
So, not long after the staff arrived, Primera and I stood in front of the ceremonial door and waited for the staff to open the door.
"Mr. Tenma, I'm so nervous that I'm about to rip my heart out... what should I do?"
"It's okay, I'm the same... I thought I was a little more brave than I used to be, but my experience doesn't seem to be helping at all."
Jokingly speaking, both Primera and I could afford to smile a little bit less nervous.Maybe because I saw it, the staff gave me a signal to open the door, so Primera turned her hand around my arm.
Well then, shall we go?
"Yes"
So Primera and I walked out to become a couple while watching the guests.
Primera SIDE
I thought it was an unfortunate sight for me.It's normal to look from the outside, and I can't be the star... no, I didn't think it would.
Fortunately, even though I was born into the Duke, I was never used as a Duke pawn.There might have been a reason to say that she was loved because she was the last daughter, and that the Duke was a stone even if she didn't have to marry her as a pawn.But subtracting it must be a departure from the common sense of nobility.If I hadn't fulfilled my duties as a nobleman, I would have had to do enough to live without the support of my parents like Lena.Well, Lena is not entirely separated from her parents, but she has proven herself to be a successful adventurer.If you think about it, you can say that you have contributed enough to your parents' home.
Compared to such a girl, I went to school with my parents' money, got a job with my parents' connections, and held an inappropriate position with my parents' power.Even if it bothered me, I wouldn't have said I made a contribution.
Is that why you're here? When I first met Mr. Tenma, I was jealous of him, who made it easy for me to get what I wanted.Though I was the commander at that time, I was actually a little over a year old after graduating from school.Although I graduated from school with good grades, I usually joined the cavalry as a cavalry apprentice, gained experience while cleaning and laundering in the unit, and hopefully got an "apprenticeship".No matter what I think of myself as the Captain of the Force, the Duke's connections, the subordinates ordered by the inexhaustible little girl... no, it would have been humiliating for many Knights.That's why I was fooled and licked.No one appeared on the boulder and said that, but somewhere invisible... that's when I encountered a member of the Order laughing with a colleague who didn't realize I was here at Knights Headquarters several times.At that time, I pretended not to hear it, but every time, I felt a thick black feeling in my heart.
At that time, Mr. Tenma set out to destroy the bandits that Lily and the Knights were burning and rescue the surviving victims.So I was jealous. I think I could convince myself even if I was jealous if it was a party with a track record and fame, like the Sword of Dawn, where veteran adventurers were in charge.However, in fact, it was a combination of four people (a party) that could be called an instant party, and three women younger than me, who had just registered as adventurers, and this was the first boy to do so.That's why I thought it was just a lucky result, not an advantage with strength.No, I wanted to. As a result, I struck him with an ugly emotion from the anger of the deviant.
My feelings were lightly embellished by Mr. Tenma, and I felt intimate fear in the way that I would not change my attitude even if I knew that I was a Duke.And in the case of Geese, I felt a little joy in the wrath that tainted the Duke's name, saying that I might be able to get some track record.Well, it was soon discovered by your father, and with the first jealousy he got a big shot... but I saw your father's reaction at that time and his attitude toward your father afterwards, and I was interested in the boy named Tenma for the first time.And the interest was part of Mr. Tenma's past, and soon after sympathy turned to respect.
I remember when I learned jealousy, anger, fear, interest, sympathy, and respect from Mr. Tenma.But I don't know when I fell in love.However, even if you think vaguely, 'I like this person', you don't know when it became any more emotional.Perhaps it sprouted during Serna's wedding, or long before that, when Tenma reported relocating her base from Gungjo City.However, I was already aware of it when I was chosen as a dance partner, so it's only clear that I was glad to be married to someone I liked.
When I reached the middle of Wedding Road, I saw clearly the faces of the people sitting in the front seat.Fathers and mothers are crying, and oniisama and sister-in-law are blessing with a smile.There were Mark and Martha, His Majesty and Maria with a smile on their faces, as if they were weeping grandfathers.But Jeanne and Amur were the first to look at him.They are sitting behind one of the grandparents by saying that they are close to Mr. Tenma's family.The fact that His Majesty and Maria are sitting in the third row is enough to show how special they are.
I understand that these two people like Mr. Tenma, and I also understand that Mr. Tenma cares about them.And I fully understand that I will be Mr. Tenma's wife instead of those two.That's why. It hurts a little to see the two of you smiling at me without having to face me from the side.However, it is not a substitute, but the area where they left the possibility of becoming Mr. Tenma's side room is strong, but it is more comfortable for me to have those two, and I think it is natural to accept that kind of conditions.
After passing by the front row of fathers, mothers, and grandpa, there is only a priest.If I can stand there long enough, I'll be a Primera Ootri from Primera von Sanga.
At that time, Mr. Tenma and I lost our pace for a moment.Me, too, but Mr. Tenma seems nervous. I felt a little relieved.
Standing in front of the priest, the priest began to declare something.At the end of the proclamation, the priest asked Tenma something, and Tenma said, "I swear."Honestly, the tension keeps the priest's words out of my ears.In the meantime, the priest turned his face towards me and opened his mouth.I still don't quite understand the meaning of the priest's words, but with half a thought while recalling the time of practice,
"I swear."
I said it back. The priest looked a little surprised, so maybe it was a little early, but Mr. Tenma was just smiling, so it wasn't a big deal.
And the priest gave me a wedding ring, and Mr. Tenma put it on my left ring finger.And I also put a ring on Tenma's left ring finger.I thought it would be more impressive, but considering what happened after that, it wasn't much longer.
"Now, give me your oath."
It's finally here! Remember the oath?Thanks? So I was so nervous when I said my vows, but I was able to be quite calm when I exchanged the rings.
But isn't it quite unusual to say that your first kiss is a ceremony other than a political marriage?... when I was thinking about that, I got nervous again.
Tenma stood in front of me as I was nervous and rolled the veil over her shoulder.And then Tempura's face gradually approached, and just before the time came... I turned to the door where Tempura had entered with me as a cover to watch out for something.Looking closely, the uncle also jumped out of Amur, Viscount Hannah, Chris, and Deputy Commander Jean Jinbei, and the guards, including Commander Din Jinbei, quickly reached a position where they could protect His Majesty, Maria, and Caesar on the other side, Blanca also tried to protect his wife and son.
On the other hand, the Duke's reaction was slow, and the guards began to be vigilant a little late after they entered Caesar's protection.Even Stale was the first to move, and it was after the Guards that he defended his father.Well, I'm sorry about Stale, but I don't think it's helpful considering the difference in strength.However, even if you subtract it, you can't help but say you're out of order.If this is a real battle, that instant delay in Stale will not lead to irreversible... If this noise subsides, I will have to lower my head to the people... no matter how threatened I was, I took on such a prank stick... the only salvation is that I am not the only one who took on one stick... At the very least, I wanted to apologize to everyone here with my grudge against the intruder, even if it would have been a little sooner or later.
Primera SIDE.
It was a little surprising that Primera was nervous when she said her vows and replied before the priest could finish, but it didn't bother her, so she went as planned to replace the ring.
And the time has come for an oath kiss, but the first kiss is going to be a wedding... and everyone will definitely tease you first.Until then, it was unlikely to work for boulders, and I had to admit that it was a mess myself.
The first kiss between me and Primera is coming in less than a minute.He turned the veil carefully so that his hands did not tremble with tension, and he put his hands on Primera's shoulders to get closer to his face.
(Something is going fast!)
I felt signs of coming to this place at high speed.Immediately use Exploration and Appraisal, but the identity is unknown.
Hannah and Blanca noticed such intruders almost simultaneously to me, Grandpa, and Din, each taking on a state of emergency, and Jean and Chris followed the royal defense the next moment Din moved like a conditional reflex.Amur was slightly slower on the Ootori side than everyone else, but even the Duke's side of Stale, which was the earliest, was slower than Amur.Well, even though I was late, I don't think it was such a fatal failure because it was in an event of one second or not in time.Rather, it seems that our guests are gathered outside the standard.Incidentally, Houston Border Guard, who is said to be able to interact with Din without magic, was on alert late from Stale, but in the case of Border Guard, it is the side that is protected rather than protected, so it won't make much sense to compare it.
I was guarding Primera's back and watching the door as the intruders approached, but unfortunately I didn't have time to retrieve what was likely to become a weapon, so I decided to be ready to cast my magic at any time.
And the intruder stopped in front of the door.
"That marriage, wait a minute!"
I jumped in like a movie scene.The intruder's name is Namitaro.I didn't know what to do, and I was worried, but I didn't expect to come at this time... definitely.
Well, neither I nor Primera left the wedding partner behind like in that movie and didn't run back to Namitaro.
