"Grandma, were you noble!?"
"It's not bothering me. Then what?"
The old lady says as if it were nothing.
But Bianca was really surprised.This naughty old lady who only thinks about wine is noble.
"By the way, what's the title...?"
I heard Bianca was afraid.
"Count."
"Count!?"
Then it's the same as Alberto's parents' house.
Bianca didn't like Alberto's father.An eye that looks down on people and determines their quality.I can't possibly like it because I've been pointed at it many times.Even the same aristocracy tends to be seen at first glance as particularly powerful than the Count.
For Bianca, the Count's image is of Alberto's father.Knowing that the grandmother is the same, she aggressively omits her previous words and actions.But not very well, but it wasn't the right attitude to talk to the Count.
Bianca, whose face turned blue, snorted her nose.
"I'm not going to say this now.That's why I live here.... you've been here for a year in a few months.Didn't you care where you were? "
"That's right, it's just somewhere in Marquis territory...."
I didn't feel the need to know because I wasn't going anywhere else.
Looking at Bianca's face, which says yes, the grandmother shook her head in astonishment.
"I'm not mistaken. After all, this is the Marquis of Forster.But I'm in charge.Even so, I'm Count Ruglan.That's why it's called the Ruglan region. "
"Ruglan Region....."
Bianca felt like she had been overturned by the values of Baroness Lannish.
The baron was one, and his father ruled there.That's all. Does the Grand Nobility have more than one territory and are they in charge of each?Even though it is a clan, it is a high ranking aristocracy such as the Count.
Bianca hates studying.That's why I've never felt the need to know.
It is not strange that there are nobles who do not have territory, or that they name another name in the family, but Bianca did not know.
"That's right. ─ ─ Well, I was called to a meeting and a reception.You can't just leave us here. "
"I don't mind."
Without my grandmother, I would have managed for a week or two.My grandmother cooks simple dishes, so I don't get hungry.
"No, I'm worried. It's not like I'm in the mood for a wedding."
The old lady picked up the grapes Bianca had left behind, lightly dropped the soil and put them in the cage.
"....."
"That's why I wanted you to come to King's Landing with me, and in the meantime let the little one over there do some chores at the Lords Hall."
The grandmother turned the chair back and resumed work.Now that I've explained, I guess I have nothing more to say.
But Bianca is still not convinced.
Going to King's Landing means being seen as the daughter of a criminal.Besides, I didn't expect to have the opportunity to go to King's Landing, so I was completely lacking in skin and hair care.
I definitely didn't like being seen by someone I used to know.
"Why don't we take Alberto to King's Landing?Why me? "
"I guess I can't help it because I told you it was better for you.I'm not asking you to come out in public.Stop talking nonsense. "
I think that means Gilbert and the others.It is only natural that Gilbert, married to Sofia, does not want Alberto, his ex-fiancé, to enter the mansion.
Bianca couldn't find an objection and bit her lips.
"─ ─ Ah, yes."
"What?"
The grandmother took a grape from the grape and pressed it into Bianca's mouth.
Bianca opens her mouth aggressively.The aromatic aroma of the grape came out into my nose and the sweetness spread to my mouth.The acidity is stronger because it is a variety grown for wine.
"You will be taken care of by the Marquis in King's Landing.Don't be ridiculous. "
"Haaaahhhh!?"
Bianca understood the grandmother's words and covered her face with both hands.
◇ ◇ ◇
Preparations for the Forster Marquis were progressing steadily.
All invitations were answered and guests' rooms were set.They review the saloon and dining room settings and hold intensive meetings about the decoration of the day.
Sofia walked through the garden, leaving the mansion in a more haste than usual, feeling restless.
"Almost there. It's kind of... strange."
Six months after the wedding, Sofia and Gilbert's wedding reception awaits when the family meeting is over.Since the wedding was a small one, the reception becomes gorgeous.Fortunately, the Marquis Mansion is spacious and there is no problem with having a mid-sized party in the hall alone.It seems that I will use it even more in the courtyard this time.
I'm surprised that so many nobles will move for the wedding of Sofia and Gilbert, but there are those who would like to show friendship to the Marquis of Forster on this occasion.Gilbert, who rarely attends night clubs except as Mathias' escort, is a valuable opportunity to have a conversation.Even if their abilities are terrifying, the historic Marquises cannot be left alone.
On this occasion, Gilbert's position and that of himself seem to be in order again.
