Ch30 (Elmhardt POV)
Leanhardt, you’ve given our father a lot of trouble.
It’s easy to understand a shallow man’s thoughts. He wants me to take Miri Arzel to Albania to humiliate me.
Most likely, he naively thought that if I made a mistake, he would be rewarded with the heir to the dukedom.
“It’s all too simple, brother. How could you think that I would fall for such an obvious strategy? As usual, you think I’m a fool.”
Indeed, you’re shallow to think you can make me dance with such a simple scheme.
It’s that kind of easy-going nature that got you disinherited.”
Even so, I don’t like it. I’m curious if Father took Brother’s words seriously enough.”
But he’s still my father’s son.
He should have disowned that man right away, but instead he listens to his opinion and shakes it at me like it’s a good idea.
I’m going to have a talk with my father now.
About marrying Miri and whether or not I will be at Charlotte and Alfred’s wedding…
Well, it’s not easy being heir to a dukedom.
“If you really want Miri as your fiancée, it will only make sense if it’s beneficial to our family. You know that, don’t you? I already consider her unfit to be a future duchess.”
My father mentioned to me the demerits of being engaged to Mirim.
I guess he’s heard what happened from His Highness Prince Alfred, but it’s a bother…
“I’ll discipline her. I’ll make sure she’s worthy. And I will cut her off from the Arzel family. I’ll take care of everything.”
I said I had no problem with Miri.
In his heart, he thought it was unfair that he hadn’t discussed the advantages and disadvantages with my brother.
After all, my father had a soft spot for my brother.
I will discipline Miri so that I can control her.
No matter how much she cries, I will train Miri to be worthy of being a duchess.
That’s right. There are many ways to make her obedient, such as not feeding her or locking her in a dark room.
“Well, wait. Charlotte-dono is getting married to the crown prince of Albania. It would be a shame for our family to cut off that connection. “
Father seems to think that Charlotte’s marriage to Prince Alfred is beneficial to our family.
Well, I can understand that, but…
“His Highness Alfred hates Miri. I’m sure it will cause him some displeasure.”
“How dare you ask me to leave everything to you when you can’t even solve such a trivial problem? Then I’ll choose your partner after all.”
Damn, you’re still an inflexible father.
You even allowed my brother to switch fiancées…
But there’s nothing we can do about it.
That damn Leanhardt gave up his seat for me.
I’m afraid I’ll have to put up with a little of my father’s selfishness and a little of Leanhardt’s shenanigans.
It would be fun to make that foolish brother rejoice that I have fallen for his schemes.
“Yes, Father. As you wish, His Highness Alfred will see that Miri has grown up to be a duchess in her own right. I’ll be responsible for reeducating her. “
“Well said! That’s my son! Then we’d better bring Mirim back from the monastery immediately.
Well, we are a little ahead of schedule.
Actually, I thought it would be a good idea to keep her in the monastery for a while, but…
In any case, it’s always better to be safe than sorry. I mean, we have to go and get her now, or we won’t make it in time.
Let’s go get Miri.
You’d better be ready to discipline her in the carriage.
We need to prepare everything.
Ufufu, what color should I dye?
