158 One of the unexpected pickups

When you return to Ilfena and reach the Knight's Dorm, report to the Demon King who was waiting for you in the dining room. After all, the Demon King was also concerned about Zebrast's reaction, and when he returned here he was stopped.

Sail is accompanying Irfena today because she didn't come last time. He also wants to talk to Sail.

"The Chancellor was acting strange."

"Is...?

"Somehow Felix had a deeper grudge than the sea."

Stupid. Honestly. When I blasted him like that, the Demon King gave him a very subtle look. It is not my fault that pity is seeping into that expression.

You know the character of the Demon King and the Chancellor. Then it seemed to me that the past with Felix - and it seemed worse in nature than it is today - was a memories that weren't even frivolous.

"Don't say that. Do it. It was Mizuki who retaliated against him."

Sail, who was following me, says as he endures a laugh.

What the hell is that? What do you mean, because it's me?

Surprisingly glancing at Sayle, Sayle stroked my head deliberately smiling.

"For Arvi, Mizuki is a protective being... well, he's treated like a kitten here, but it's a similar perception. Besides, you must listen to me as prime minister this time, so I assume you took him into custody."

…… I mean, you let him sit between his legs and restrain him because as prime minister, he listened to the circumstances, so he stroked his head and praised him because he was praising the cat that had bitten his enemies?

"To be clear, I guess so. That's the mix, that's the state."

Me being jito eyed by Sail's commentary, the people around me being a convincing look. The Demon King... let his gaze swim slightly as to whether he was aware that he was treating cats as well.

Yeah, I think I've been dealing with cats lately. Especially since your attitude at Baraxin was obvious!

I mean, this time, as the Chancellor said, 'Here we go, cat! Well done, bite!' Did the emotion directly lead to the behavior of stroking your head?

Yes, treating cats......

……

... Is it possible that the "Zebrast's Famous Product" I received is not a souvenir, but a "reward snack"?

Um, Prime Minister? My rare beast treatment hasn't settled in lately!?

"Ahhh... well, don't pursue that in depth. Even you are making yourself known as a rare beast."

I am unintentionally silent with all my thoughts on the devil king's frightened words.

That's right - I think rare beast certification that people's laws don't pass is the strongest card. I won't complain about these kinds of treatments if I continue to use them in the future.

In the first place, the guardians have a nice personality to throw me among the enemies: 'Go for my Lord'.

You would never blame my treatment for being a plaything animal as long as there were those back circumstances. Well, since I'm feeling a little overprotective, the key lords are likely to compliment me on my abrupt behavior.

Talking about such a foolish story, I mentioned that the Demon King was very determined and ill-conceived.

"By the way, Mizuki. Are you willing to add more guardians?

"What?"

"You have a hopeful person, and it's hard to say no because it's about going through the country.... so?

Come on. I'll make an invitation. When I come closer, I grin and grab my head tight.

Intentionally intimidating but firmly gazing.

"... I wonder what the hell you did in Carlosa, you. You told me to tell you more about what I did to you.

"Just leave it on the report."

"If that's all, this story isn't supposed to come. So, I don't care about your perception, so wash up and throw up, stupid cat."

Ooh... are you dealing with stupid cats quickly, Dear Parent Cat. If this is cat society, you're about to be slapped on the front leg!

Not if you're thinking about something stupid.

A new guardian?

And Carlossa?

I just went by to deliver Cecil and the others to Carlosa. To the extent that there was a reunion with Mr. Bill or Mr. Alf, if I may say so.

There will be no such thing as these two or Mr. Keith's candidates for guardianship. As far as Al and the others are concerned, it doesn't look like a must-have or Kingsguard or anything.

Since I am relatively connected to various countries, I am sacrificed in the sense of having a connection with the Magic Master... correction, have you thought about pushing a new guardian or something?

This is most likely. The assistant prime minister says so.

But for that, there's something wrong with the Demon King.

Demon King... thanks for the 'what the hell did you pick up' look. There's more to me than diplomacy, like?

"Let's just explain..."

That's what I said and let go of my hand, and the Demon King started talking. It goes without saying that the expression had a dark color of flattery and giving up.

- A few days ago, Carlosa (Count Faircloff's perspective)

Exhale in front of a portrait of an ancestor hailed as a hero. The figure in the portrait was the one who gave the royal princess and countenance for his tremendous work in the fold of the war.

As a royal family, it must be true that he wanted to provide the people with 'heroes' and 'bright topics like stories' by giving princesses to men who were knights, but the couple seemed close.

In a situation that tends to get dark, the two stories will have given the people the power to live.

However, the reality is partly conveniently stirred up.

It is true that the knight was strong. Except, 'I love the fight, the battlefield is my second home!' was a noisy brain muscle going to the ground. I think it's pretty good because I was delighted to be on the front line.

The man became a hero simply because the situation in the country matched his taste. Probably didn't think about it in person.

It is also true that the princess favoured the man who became her husband. The princess's preference was not her face or her wit: 'A strong man's choice!' Even if it was. It is a slightly unfortunate beautiful princess.

... for the royal family at the time: 'Why didn't you even have a fiancée until you married a hero?' Though the natural question seemed forbidden. Apparently, a man weaker than himself was a princess whose appearance and contents did not match so that he could retreat on his own.

It's also true that the two met 'by chance in the garden'... even though the princess would be a carnivore who applied for a single hit on the hero shortly afterwards and, after defeat, used every power to silence his surroundings and drive the man he was looking for!

When we get here, it's impossible to say 'nice romance' or 'coveted hero'. I guess I had to flaunt him. I guess the people only know what an extreme part of it looks like.

The fact that it is now only known to the royal family and some of the extreme parties involved can be harshly dictated, 'Don't take it to the grave in a responsible way if you know it'.

Behind heroes and romance is such a thing. It would also be irresistible for my clan, which is borne by the shackles of 'descendants of heroes', to have a chilled idea of such things.

Besides, things are happening right now that make me want to resent you both......!

Stir the liquor out of the glass I've been holding.

And stare at the portrait with slightly moistened eyes.

"I resent you, ancestors......! Why, why didn't you curb that blood a little more!

I know I can't help but resent my ancestors, but I also want to say it. Because this has become a routine event since Zeke was of marriageable age.

The cause of my resentment towards my ancestors...... the problem is one of my sons, Siegfried.

Excellent property that is the direct line of a hero and is blessed with both face and ability for whoever is born because of the good fortune and all the upper class blood. The oldest son, who also inherits the house, is recognized as his own assistant, and the second son as a knight belongs to the Kingsguard and is also recognized around.

Aristocratic marriages are often political marriages based on face, ability, or family. It seems that the fact that "The Hero's Clan and Continuity" appeared very fascinating, and those who joined the clan were also sent the human resources they deserved.

As a result, the recognition of the 'Count Faircloff family = treasure trove of excellent properties' was created. It is not a lie because of the added blood or because the competent ones were actually born.

My two sons also had a very hard time getting a fiancée. Now I think it's something that got me a great wife, but it was really depressing at the time...... enough to kill.

And the last remaining third son, Siegfried.

Because of the name of my great ancestors, I was smiled and watched around when I said that I would be a knight from an early age.

... good back then. From now on, I'm thinking, 'Why didn't you work for personality correction!' So much so that I wanted to beat myself up that I was peacefully bogged down.

With myself, it used to be Sieg's "I want to be strong! I was counting on the word." But nobles and knights... if I say more, I can't do more than be the blood of a hero.

Minimum sociability is essential or savvy enough to successfully change your surrounding thoughts.

... but.

These things came out of my head beautifully and refreshingly. It was already so lucid that it was missing.

A neat face - and if you keep your mouth shut, you look smart - that's why the discovery was delayed. Until then, it was done with "you're oblivious to those things because you have a hero in your ancestors," but reality isn't so sweet.

I still remember the shock when I heard Zeke's preference that it was time for his fiancée to make a fuss about something.

"He who is stronger than himself... or he who can keep his back."

... I repeat, what I heard was' hope for your fiancée ', not' the ideal of your preferred talent as a person and as a companion '. The same answer came back to me when I checked with him again, I guess I meant it, not a mistake.

My wife, who was listening to this, feared for her blood muscles - she was my son-in-law, so she was direct - and my two sons held their heads, and I shook Zeke and said, "Answer me seriously!," he scratched in vain.

At this point, Sieg is a late teenager. I'm telling you this from the bottom of my heart, it sucks.

The facts of the shock were further told when Siege's childhood training was immediately called to hear the circumstances.

"Sieg only recognizes the characteristics of a woman by her face and name. If you're a demon or something, say," What a move! I feel like I'm having fun talking about it, but when I'm a female opponent, the shards don't show any interest.

I thought I knew - yes. Keith's gaze, which I'm sorry to add, was full of pity. Perhaps he had stood around well and hid it from me.

I just don't think I wanted to hear that kind of report. I'm not bad.

Hey, aren't you interested in coming through and bracketing 'humans' aside from some of the poles?

What's wrong with sex as a man, even if it's all a fighting instinct?

So, for you, the lady is no more than a demon?

Then, at the end of the family meeting, he came to the conclusion that 'Zeke would never let him be a close guard'. Originally, there was only so much hope that I wanted to be a knight and be strong. It won't have to be a Kingsguard.

Above all, if you become a Kingsguard, the chances of being inevitably eye-catching jump. Whatever Carlosa is, she can't laugh at princesses and courtiers in other countries.

I can't rush or flatter Sieg, stupid. I honestly don't know what to say. Besides, you don't believe me when I say 'This guy's always like this' because he just seems smart, and they'll accept that he's been insulted.

Poor performance hinders diplomacy. No, there's no such thing as a young lady who's not furious because she's not interested in anything less than demons before that. Even if you take political marriage for granted, you're basically a lady.

In the meantime, I asked Keith, the son of the Baron family I had been dating for a long time, to guard me, and calmed down by the fact that I would work in a way that was as unrelated to the nobility as possible.

Not from the Baron.

'If it's good for my child, use it fully. It's cheap if you can repay me!

It is offered in that state, so if it gets really awkward, it may be talking by spreading a rumor that it is a man.

It was a parent-to-parent plan. What, I'm not asking you to make it a fact, so I'm not telling you no.

I know I'm sorry, but the Baron understands the awkwardness of things... more than the individual, is.

"At least...... at least give me something to make you take to marriage if you're interested in humans......!

The hand that holds the glass is strong. I couldn't help but hope that it was for nothing.

And there...

"Yes...... it's important!

The butler, who has served me for a long time, let me out of breath and came running. I open my eyes gently to the way it looks.

He is the one who also followed me when I came to this house to my son-in-law, a calm person who has long supported me well.

It is very unusual, such as that he breaks his spare face. I couldn't help but notice that this was quite the case.

"What's up?"

"Di... Dear Sieg, Damn..."

"Said it was Zeke!? Did you finally do something!?

Blood draws attention to the word. He should have been a grown-up for a while because he was injured or something - but it's always been the case that I left him alone saying, "If he's not dead, he'll be fine" - what did he do?

I unexpectedly thought of the worst, and cringed my throat. But the words I was told were unexpected.

"Master Sieg said she had a woman she wanted to marry... she wanted permission from her husband"

"Hey, don't lie to me. You don't need that comfort, do you?

Immediately penetrate and when you have a much drier laugh, gently tap the butler's shoulder to prompt him to calm down.

Speaking of which, I recall that this guy knew a grudge against his ancestors that turned into a routine event. I was a little sorry that you made me worry so much that I thought I had to temporarily comfort you with lies. Tears seep into its tenderness.

"No, it's in fact! Your wife has fallen!

"Come on, as long as it's too much of a lie to comfort you, okay? You wouldn't have a hard time if Sieg had such merit, would you? Calm down?"

"It is your husband who calms you down! Stop running away from reality! … I can understand how you feel too much"

Trying to calm him down also gets drunk the other way around, unexpectedly looking seriously at the butler's face.

The look was serious in itself, and not the wind that was pitying me to lie or comfort me.

…… Fact, huh?

"Yes! Just talk to me!

Take the word and run out immediately.

If this is true, I'll just be glad to hear it, something we missed an opportunity that might run out of hard work!

In case you were just going crazy because of the fever or injury, I won't let you say no because I told you once.

My family! For the sake of peace, I will send you down to show you...!

Turning to Siege while consolidating my resolve, I had forgotten how beautiful I was expecting.

"That brain muscle chooses a normal woman?

"What do you mean you didn't even see Keith in the first place?

I guess I didn't even come up with that natural question because I was up myself.

And that can be poked out in conversation with Zeke... No, you'll be reminded of reality.

... how the foolishness of only recognizing the lady with minimal information certified the person as a thinker.

I didn't think they'd say, 'I don't know who you are, I'm sure you're a woman,' at this time.
