233 Nonsense 14 Best Friend's Wedding

SIDE: Frank.

Me, José and Ali were in a carriage to attend Leo's wedding party this week.

The war against the kingdom ended successfully, and the entire Empire has recently been celebrated.

I had passed through the Imperial Capital before I went to Muldeen's territory, but even to a certain extent I was very busy marrying the princess.

Perhaps Muldeen is getting more amazing...

"True, this country likes parties. I know you're throwing a wedding party... but you're throwing a party for some reason. It's unusual to have a party four times a week."

It is Ali from a Christian country who says such a thing.

Sure, it was like a party every day. Sure... a party at the end of the semester for an adult party I know, a party to preside over the student council, a party to preside over a new professor... that? Five times, right?

Either way, from a foreigner, I can't help but say it's abnormal.

"I can't help it. If something good happens, we all celebrate by throwing a party. Because that's the culture of the Empire."

This is a tradition from the time the Empire was founded.

It is often taught in history classes that empires may have never had major disputes or civil unrest between nobles because the Empire nobles frequently face each other at parties.

"It's really a culture that we can do because we're rich empires....."

"Didn't you have a party in a Christian country?

Yes. I admit it's a waste of money, but the amount of money that the Catholic aristocrats have doesn't change, does it?

"There's no way anyone's going to attend an event like this, no matter when they're assassinated."

"Really... this is a dangerous country."

Every time I hear about Ali's Christian country, the image of the Christian country becomes more and more dangerous.

Recently, Christian countries have become like the demonic world.

"If you lived in the Empire, you'd think so. Well, I'm used to the Empire, and I don't want to go back to my country anymore."

"Even though it's your home?

"Because I'm home, I understand how dangerous this country is. I don't know how many times my sister Leria was about to be assassinated. My sister mistakenly attacked me a lot."

"You certainly don't want to go home anymore....."

José's right, I don't think I want to go home to any magical place.

If there's anything I can do, I don't want to step in.

"Speaking of which, I assume that Leria is practicing in Muldeen? Maybe we'll see each other this time.

It seems that Leria, Ali's sister and saint of the Holy Land, is teaching Lina Holy Magic.

Everything was a good condition for Lena not to be brought back to the Holy Nation.

When she named the Virgin, Ali looked less happy.

"That's right...."

"Aren't you happy?

"Yes, I haven't talked much about it...."

"Sisters?

"I mean, when I was eight years old, Leria was held up as a saint and confined to the church. I never had a chance to see you."

"Sure, it's complicated."

Also, I felt inferior to Leria until I met her and my magic improved.

It's not much, it's probably connected to the feeling of not wanting to see you.

"That said, it's not like Frank's brotherhood."

"Don't remind me too much. You're the one who's worried about me and my father right now."

Oh, already. I was thinking of not remembering for the next month or so...

My brother, Laurent, is currently trying to discredit me and the kingdom nobles in the Holy Land.

Absolutely... Can't you just use your head a little bit to understand how you end up being used as a tool?

Oh, I'm getting upset again when I remember.

"I'm sorry. Now, let's change the subject. Tell me something about the Muldeen Realm."

"That's good. Muldeen is, isn't he? Land is a very small territory, but the tax paid is said to be the first in the Empire. I mean, it's that much money."

It's been exempt for a long time and it's the Empire's first. I think the Empire will be very moist once this is paid as usual.

"I know that. It's the center of the world."

"That's right. Now, let me explain the characteristics of the city."

"Yes, please."

"First of all, the biggest characteristic is that there's a big underground city."

"I've heard of that underground city, but is there actually another underground city?

"Yes, it's very spacious. It used to be a storage area for criminals, but Leo took it under control and released it to ordinary merchants. Now there are auction venues and arenas, and it's a very vibrant city."

"Oh, I'd love to go."

"I'm staying for the next month and I think I can go."

Magic school is also a long vacation now. So I decided to take care of Leo for a while.

I didn't want to disturb the newlyweds, so I thought I'd take them to the inn, but they let me stay at the castle.

Well, as much as we can, we're gonna get out and stay out of the way of the couple.

"I look forward to that. I'll leave you two to guide me."

"Leave it to me. When I lived in Muldeen territory for several months, I largely remembered the structure of the city."

"Oh, a few months... that's a little jealous."

"So-so. For that reason, let's go sightseeing. In a month, we'll have plenty of fun.

I quickly forgave Ali, who had begun to be seriously jealous, with a little hesitation.

If it develops into a fight, we'll get hurt. No, I'm the one who gets the most damage. That's why I've been trying to stop it recently.

"I see... I see. I'll look forward to it."

Hmm. I appreciate being friendly enough to fight, but I want you to think a little bit about how it feels to be caught in between.

"It's really busy. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that this is the capital of a great country."

Arriving in Muldeen, Ali looked out like a child, saying something like that.

"Muldeen Castle is really like the capital of a country."

"That's the castle of Muldeen... it's not just something that nobles are allowed to live in. That's..."

"Well, this castle was built forty years ago by the lord here with excess money. It would be a waste to destroy it, and I couldn't leave it to the aristocrats around there, and in that way Leo, who would become royal, stood up with white arrows."

It's better than the castle in the Imperial Capital. It costs a lot of money just to break it.

I see. Still, if you lived in a place like this, you'd feel like a king.

"Not surprisingly. Somewhat less luxurious."

"Living in a castle like that?

"Well, I guess the Emperor asked me... to marry Sherry. Otherwise, I'd have thrown it on the way. That's how hard it was to grow this city."

"Huh? Do you have any trouble in this city?

"Didn't I just tell you that the underground town used to be a criminal hangout?

"Yeah."

"When Leo first took office, the city was very insecure. There were slums, illegal drugs, slaves, assassins in the basement... It was such a terrible city that no one wanted to take on the corruption of officials and the fact that the gendarmerie wasn't working."

It is not a city that is left to very under-age children.

Even though the Emperor didn't know the city was going to be like that, it's kind of awful.

"This was the place... Marquis Leon was, as they say, an amazing man."

"It's amazing. I don't know if you have five wives."

Sure it may be, but we're all happy, so isn't that amazing?

"Five? Apart from Princess Shelia and Liana, the maid of the Beast, and the president of the Holland Chamber of Commerce?

Speaking of which, it was a secret.

I don't think it's a problem to talk anymore, but you should stop telling me.

"What? Secret? Do you have someone you need to keep a secret from?

Well... Well, I think you know why it was so secret at today's party. Perhaps most people will be shocked. "

"Can I compare it to the other four?

"Yeah, I think it's more shocking than the other four."

No wonder no one thinks the Demons are in the human world.

Isn't there a shock all over the world?

"Oh, well, I'll be looking forward to it."

Upon arrival at the castle, he was immediately guided to the party venue.

The size of the party venue was unusual, but the number of people was even more unusual.

"That's a lot of people. It hasn't even started yet, but there's still room for 200 people..."

Is it true that some king is getting married? It's big enough to think.

"Just looking out a little bit, I found a few leading nobles in the Holy Land. I don't think it's a marquis wedding."

"That's what everyone expects from Leo."

Most of the west side will be Leo's from now on.

If Leo succeeds in developing that vast, barren land, he will truly gain the power of one nation.

I'm sure that's why nobles and merchants from all over the world are participating this time.

"That's right. After all, I tried to defeat the brave man."

"Well, I think Leo had a better chance of getting hurt."

I honestly think it's amazing no matter how many injuries I suffered while covering the bell.

Normal people can't even pull Leo out.

"I see. How strong is Lord Leon?"

Huh?

Looking back at an unknown voice, a noble man stood to see it.

Yeah... not a nobleman of the Empire. Aristocrats of the Holy Nation?

When I thought about it, it looked just like Ali next door... no, there was a girl standing there like that.

Ah, I know who this guy is...

"Ah, Father. And Lilia....."

It was as expected. This is Gael, the head of the Fontaine family.

"It's been a long time, onee-sama. How are you?

"Yeah, yeah. I'm really training my magic skills at magic school."

Even though the other party was her sister, Ally's response was very slow.

After all... you still have a bad consciousness about your sister.

"I heard from Mr. Leons. You're teaching Frank magic, aren't you?

Yes, that's right.

"Well then, I'm sure you'll be able to use incredible magic. Please show me next time."

Is this pure feeling...? Or is it ironic?

Well, now that I've trained Ali, I can show her with confidence.

"Yes, of course. That's good."

"I wish I wasn't too busy. I'm sorry."

"Fufu. I'll write to your father to tell him how amazing I was."

"Oh, thank goodness. I begged you."

"Yes, I'll take care of it"

You two are close. Why is there such a difference in character among the sisters?

Well, it must be the environment.

"And I heard. Ever since you were in college, you've been a leader, right? Isn't that amazing?"

After the conversation with Leria, it looks like I'm talking about it again.

"Yes, but I'm not really number one because I'm the chairman in the absence of Leon's or Liana."

I think it's an honor for the chairman, but that's why I'm not so happy.

The high level of that elementary school allowed me to burn to take good priority.

Now... it's a bad word, but I feel a little low around here.

I see. If you were competing with Lord Leon's students, you wouldn't be afraid of the other students. "

That's right.

"Ha ha ha. It's Aren. I'm glad I married a good man."

"... yes. I think so too."

I'm glad to hear that from Ali's mouth.

"Oops. I have to say hello from now on. Let's talk slowly again."

"Yes, thank you again."

"Fufufu, onee-sama, you've really changed."

Wherever Gael went, Leria stayed with us.

Shouldn't we say hello together? Though I thought it was okay for Gael to leave it behind.

"Really?

As usual, I was thinking about such a thing while looking at my sister in the eye.

"Yes, the atmosphere has become very soft. I feel so happy."

"If you say so... Leria has become quite bright, too. I looked more tired the other day."

You look tired...

"That's because life here already seems like heaven. Sometimes it's hard to train, but every day is better than when I was in a Christian country... it's really fun."

That would be the case. Unlike a magical country, this is a very safe and enjoyable place.

I can see that Mr Leria's tiredness blows away.

"Well... then, that's good."

"Yes, and... that's Josette?

"Oh, I'm sorry! It's getting late, but I'll introduce you. Josette, the eldest daughter of the Lefebvre family, is Frank's fiancée, just like me."

I've been thinking about when to introduce Jose.

Gael, I wasn't even interested in Jose, so I couldn't get him to introduce me.

Perhaps you're not too happy with me taking the side room...

Ha, there's more trouble seeds.

"Nice to meet you. Thank you very much."

"Welcome. Please give my regards to onee-sama. And I heard that Josette can also use Holy Magic, is that true?

"Yes, but I'm good at another wind magic."

"José's wind magic is amazing. I'd be absolutely amazed to see it."

It's from Leo's sister.

"I'd love to see that. You're all in Muldeen this month, aren't you?

"Yes, so I have a day to go to the Knights' training grounds, so how about showing it off on that day?

"That's good! I also train at the training ground all the time, so call me anytime!

Jose's suggestion made Leria happy from the bottom of her heart.

I knew it... Leria, I don't think you're wearing a cat. If this smile were an act... the Holy Land would be more terrifying than the magic world in me.

With that in mind, a big door opened in the party hall.

Leo and the others are entering.

"Yeah, yeah. They all look really happy."

I smiled unexpectedly at my best friend's happy face.

That's right. When the Emperor's words are over, why don't you go celebrate first?

And we need to find Hellman, who might be guarding him somewhere.

Does he still have a brain muscle personality? Has she changed a little?

Still... I'm glad Leo looks happy.
