257 Chapter 24 Retirement and Parental Separation

About a week has passed since I received Mr. Marrett at home.

In the meantime, we spent a full week showing Monica and Marrett around the territory and starting to get back to work.

And today, I came to the Imperial Capital to report to the Emperor and see how my uncle was doing.

"This time again... it's been tough"

"Yes, I didn't think it would be such a big honeymoon."

I knew you'd be targeted by an assassin, but I didn't think you'd be attacked in the open.

Besides, my two months in captivity in the Holy City prevented me from going where I wanted to go on my honeymoon.

I was just checking out tourist attractions in the Holy See.

"As a father, I can only say that my daughter was pathetic on such a honeymoon.Well, if I may say so from an emperor's point of view, I can only thank you.Now the Empire no longer has to worry about its neighbors.I really can't thank Leo enough. "

"No, it's nothing serious."

It really happens this time, too. It felt like the Pope had gone wild and lost his way.

"Well, let's get down to business....."

"Are you serious...?"

For me, that was the point.

What happened to the Empire while I was gone?

"Next year, I will surrender the throne of the Emperor to Cliffs."

Are you going to give it up already?

"Huh? What's wrong with you?"

Looks like... he doesn't look well.

"No, that's not it.Simply because I have decided that now is the right time for a new generation.Now, isn't there a fool who tries to change generations and do something? "

"I see...."

Sure, maybe now is the best time.

Now that the Philibert family is gone, there are no nobles in the Empire who want to start a rebellion.

Looking out, the kingdom and the Christian nation are doing their best to rebuild their country.

Yeah, maybe the best.

Well, it was Damien who started it.

Uncle?

I looked at my uncle.After all, did you lose confidence in your last defeat...?

No, I don't think so, just for my uncle.

"Don't worry about it.I just wanted to get myself back in shape, so I decided to retire. "

No, isn't that enough to worry about?

Because a man who has always been a good worker suddenly retires.

But I see... my uncle is full of revenge...Then you certainly don't have to worry.

Does that mean you're going to change the commander of the Special Forces?

"Ah, Ivan will handle it. And then the Prime Minister will change."

Huh?

Now I turned my attention to Elise.

"It's about time I had a baby, too."

Ah, speaking of which, uncles, you don't have any children yet...

"Elise's been pushed."

"No, that's not true."

"Elise's disappearance is a huge pain for the Empire, but is his successor a good man?"

"Yes, I think it's okay."

Well, if Elise says she's good, she'll be fine.Mr Flair is also very good.

Anyway, it's really sudden.

Sometimes I come to the report and talk to the emperor, uncle, and Elise, but until this year.

"I see.... Thank you all so much for your hard work."

I lowered my head deep towards the three of them.

Thank you so much for looking after me.I have to say thank you.

"Thank you, Leo, for looking after me a lot.If it hadn't been for you, my country would have been destroyed. "

"How many times did Leo help you?"

"I don't think so.The Empire is a very strong country without me. "

"Don't be so modest. At least my daughter couldn't be so happy.Can you not lower your head to this fact? "

That said, now the Emperor has lowered his head.

"Please... stop. I did what I liked."

"Ha ha ha, I see. Let's not do this anymore."

"So the story changes, but when is my sweet grandson going to see you?"

No, you've suddenly changed your mind too much.

"Well, come on? We'll... be here next year, right?"

"Well, then, it wouldn't be a bad idea to build a separation house in Muldeen when you retire.It would be great to spend the rest of my life with my grandchildren. "

Are you coming to my house?

"If we were to build a city in Muldeen now... it would be the edge of the city."

"I don't care about that.The problem is that we can stay close to each other when we want to. "

What a selfish remark...Where did the Emperor go when he lowered his head to me just now?

"Really... I see."

I can't help it. There is still more land near the training ground, so we should build a detachment there.

"What about Elise?If your uncle is going to train, will you come to my house?It's a little busy, but I don't think you'll miss it. "

Anyway, my uncle is going to teach Barth something, so maybe Elise should come over here, too?

"That's...."

"I'm sorry, but thank you very much."

Huh?

"From now on, I'm going to have Balance train me.Elise would have been better off in Muldeen. "

After all, it's Balas. He... Tell him something important first.

"I see...."

So everyone came to my territory.

SIDE: Liana

While my husband was talking to the Emperor, me and my mother, Monica, were at the house of the wizard.

Of course. To get Mom and Monica to meet Grandma.

"No, I didn't expect to see Maret again."

"True! And I can't believe I had another grandson!"

In contrast to the nicotinic wizard, Grandma was holding Monica with tears in her face.

"Ehehe, it's Grandma! My grandmother."

"That's right... I'm your grandmother.Uhh... I'm really glad you're alive... "

"Why is Grandma crying?"

"It's good to see Monica."

"That's right. I'm glad to see Grandma too!"

"I see... Ah, I won't regret my death anymore."

"What are you talking about?If you're going to die, at least look at your grandson's face. "

"That's right... Liana, let me die quickly....."

"What are you talking about?Grandma, you're still fine, right? "

I'll show you my grandson, but don't tell me you're going to die.

I want my grandmothers to live a long time.

"Old people... don't you think it's strange to die?Like Carina, I don't know when I'm gonna lose my temper..... "

"What's bothering me?Maret, don't say anything to this old man! "

"Who's old?"

"You said so yourself!"

The two fights started again.

It's true that you two get along very well every day.

"Fu, fufufu, I'm relieved you both seem to be as close as you used to be."

"Really? Well, if we stay together that long, we won't suddenly get along or get on bad terms."

Yes, it is.

The two laughed a little as they said that to their mother.

The more we quarrel, the better off we are.The wizard and the grandmother really stayed the same.

I'm home.

Ah, Master is back.

"Welcome back. Did the Emperor say anything?"

"Yeah, he said next year we're going to have another generation."

Is Sherry's father leaving the emperor?

Is there... something wrong with you?

"Already? I've only been doing it for about ten years.You're licking me to quit with such a healthy body. "

Ah, your body is fine, right?

The grandmother... asked the Emperor if the words were a boulder...

"Well, now is the best time, right?"

"Still... I think it's still early.Maybe I forget about my work and want to spend the rest of my life with my grandchildren. "

"That's possible. I'm sure he's an idiot too."

Only the wizard and grandmother can say that in this country.

"So when will Leo show me his grandson?That's all the fun left of this old man anymore.... "

La, next year.

Well, maybe next year...

"My grandson... Grandma can't be me?"

"No, that's not true! That's not true!I could use a Monica.... "

Nice Monica! Fufufu. Grandma, reflect a little.

"Oh, yeah, I had a favor to ask you two today.Could you both teach Monica some magic? "

What did I just say?

Excellent. The two voices overlapped perfectly.

"From now on, I have to take the entrance exam to Monica Magic School...Looks like you weren't able to practice magic that much.How about that? They won't take it. "

"Of course I'll take it."

When my grandson gets involved... it's going to be really simple for both of you...

But I'm glad we had a little fun.

"Yes... Monica, do you want Grandma to learn magic?"

"Magic? Can Grandma teach you magic?"

"Yes, I'll take care of it"

"Yay!! I want to learn magic!I want to use magic like my mother!! "

Speaking of which, I've never seen your mother's magic.

Next time, let me see.

"Dear Mother-in-law, Carina, Monica, please."

"Very well, don't worry, I'll put you in the top of the magic school."

"Yes, leave it to me."

How much does the chairman... plan to train Monica...?

Monica, I hope you don't hate magic...

"Yes, thank you."

"Huh? Mom's not with you?"

Monica finally understood that she had to leave her mother.

I pointed my anxious face at my mother.

"Monica, when I go to magic school, I have to go to the dorm.Think of it as a practice. "

"Oh, no! I can't believe I'm separated from my mother!"

Monica stuck to her mother's waist in a hurry.

I've always lived with my mother...Of course, you can't leave your mother that easily.

But Mom took Monica's hand off with a demon in mind.

"No, Monica, be strong."

"I don't want to... I can't believe I'm leaving my mother....."

"Lena, your sister was separated from her mother when she was six."

"Is that so...?"

"Yeah."

When I nodded, Monica's strength naturally relaxed.

"Well, then, I'll do my best.I'm going to be like Leena's sister. "

Good boy.

Finally, our mother hugged us and we left the magician's house behind.

"Uhh, uhh..."

When she returned to the castle, her mother began to cry with her hands on her mouth.

"Mother....."

"Maybe I'm more serious than Monica...I wonder if I can be separated.... "

"It's okay, I'm next to you this time."

That's what I said and rubbed her back.

"That's right... Thank you, Leo."

"No, I'm looking forward to Monica growing up too."

"That's right... I hope you get stronger."

It's okay. I'm sure she'll be great and surprise your mother.

Still, you're going to look like Leena's sister...I have to do my best.
