Chapter 329 – Episode 329 – A Sudden Meeting?
It’s been a few days since my parents enjoyed life in the imperial capital. It’s not that I didn’t do it, but I lived a somewhat celibate life and took my parents on tours of the capital as much as possible. We allowed them to enjoy to their heart’s content, going to restaurants known for their delicious food, visiting wonderful tourist attractions nearby, and living in the capital. And today, we visited a place we could never have imagined together.
“Woah, are we really allowed to come in here?”
Her father was quiet now, but her mother said this every time she went to a new place. Well, if this were my first time coming to a place like this, I would probably feel the same way. No matter how accustomed you are to my mansion, this is the most luxurious place in the empire.
Because this place is the imperial palace.
“You can walk around with confidence.”
Since I am a noble, my parents are now noble too. We helped him dress like an aristocrat in a formal manner, so he didn’t look out of place. Of course, his actions were not typical of other nobles, but… Is there anything special about being noble? Just don’t do anything that’s rude to those around you.
“Now then, shall we go in?”
“Daron.”
As I was about to go deeper with my parents, I ran into someone.
“Oh.”
My mother recognizes me and is surprised.
“Isn’t it Charlotte?”
“Ah.”
Charlotte, who had been running happily when she saw me, suddenly stopped.
What is my relationship with Charlotte now?
It has changed a lot from before. Formally, I am now a sexual partner, and my role is to relieve Charlotte’s sexual desires without Zed’s knowledge. She, Charlotte, is no longer being forced, but she likes to do things with me more voluntarily, so she was running towards me like that brightly just now.
But, what will her parents think of Charlotte?
“Mother. “I made peace with Charlotte.”
“Yes.”
My past was rumored throughout the neighborhood, so there was no way my parents wouldn’t have heard about it. In fact, I was comforted by that, and even though she was my childhood friend, there was no way Charlotte would be seen as pretty in the eyes of my parents because of something like that.
“An, hello.”
Charlotte felt a little awkward, so she said hello to my parents.
… In the past, I would have just ignored it. Does this mean that I have acknowledged the man that I am?
“Shallot. What’s the matter?”
“Well, I met Her Highness briefly. “For something related to the devil.”
Unlike me, Charlotte did not belong to any country. However, she was born in the empire, and in many ways she had cooperated with this empire since ancient times, so she had many occasions to meet the princess. It was like that even before I became a warrior.
“Okay. “I have to take care of my parents, so I’ll just leave.”
“Yes.”
“And.”
My mother and father sent signals subtly so that they could not be seen.
It roughly meant that I would come visit you soon, so please clean your pussy well. Charlotte swallowed her saliva and nodded.
After Charlotte has gone, her mother, who has been waiting quietly, approaches and expresses her concern.
“Daron. I wonder if you reconciled with that kid… “You don’t mean that, right?”
“Mother. Even I have pride. Well, since we are both warriors, we decided to cooperate rather than fight all the time.”
“Yes? “No matter how many women you choose, it won’t be Charlotte.”
“Even if you kneel down and bow down to her head and apologize for her mistakes?”
“Hmm… Then again, I don’t know.”
No matter how firmly he said it, seeing him say he didn’t know, it seemed like he was being soft. I have already made up my mind. It seems that the relationship between Charlotte, Zed, and I will be decided soon.
“Then shall we go in?”

Unlike the time when he took her parents to her mansion without her warning, this time he gave the princess a heads up in advance. The knights guarding the princess’s palace let me in without saying anything. After sending her Charlotte, I immediately moved to the lounge next to her office, and the court ladies guided me there. Her mother and father were busy looking around and looking around the inside of the palace. Not only the decorations, but also the floor, walls, and ceiling were all made of expensive materials.
“Don’t be too difficult.”
After reassuring my parents, who seemed worried, I went inside.
“Daron.”
Well, this is Lucia’s voice. She was very similar to Asa Bell, as was her appearance, but there was no way I couldn’t tell. I said I would introduce her parents and asked Lucia to come too, but she waited with Lucia.
It seems like he was there.
“Are you here?”
?
This is not Lucia or Asabel. When I went inside, I saw that Lucia, the original owner of this palace, was not at the head table where she was originally sitting. There was, but she was sitting politely next to Lucia.
“Hwang, I meet your Majesty the Emperor.”
It was a rare moment when even I was truly embarrassed. The two princesses weren’t the only ones waiting for me. Who would have thought that the princesses’ father, the emperor of this empire, was waiting for them. Is this how my girls felt when my parents suddenly barged in while they were having fun in the mansion?
“Hwang, I come to see His Majesty the Emperor.”
“Sulfur… “I come to see His Majesty the Emperor.”
My parents also bowed their heads after me.
Oh no, the person who said it was okay to take it easy shouldn’t be the first to panic.
“Marquis Dran. It’s been a while. First, sit comfortably. “Please sit comfortably, too.”
Seeing that they didn’t treat me that way, I didn’t think it would go badly. I sat across from the two princesses, and my parents sat as far away from the emperor as possible. The court lady hurriedly approaches, places the tea cup, and fills it with the tea water she had prepared in advance. When I take a sip, my parents also take a sip. You don’t have to be so nervous… The emperor’s eyes are clearly staring only at me. She doesn’t have a daughter yet, but if my daughter suddenly declares that she will marry someone… And what if both sisters are the same guy?
Thinking about it up to this point, I was able to roughly understand why the emperor was glaring at me.
“Marquis Dran. I heard the story. Princess, they said you bewitched my daughters?”
“I somehow ended up falling in love with you two.”
Love.
It may have been an embarrassing thing to say to some people, but I said it out loud with confidence. And of course women in love… No, I can’t help but feel my heart pounding. Asabel and Lucia laughed, and the emperor had to check their expressions.
The emperor’s brow twitches.
“I think my daughters feel the same way.”
No matter how shitty I was, the emperor couldn’t be angry as long as the princesses cared about me. He was a good emperor in his own right, seeing as he put his daughter’s happiness ahead of his own feelings.
“Whoa.”
The emperor sighs and pulls his chin for a moment. He seems to have something to say when he meets me, but it doesn’t seem to come out very well. Asabel and Lucia quietly looked at their father, observing the emperor’s gaze. He wouldn’t give up on me just because I didn’t let him, but I would have been worried about what he would do if he really did. But fortunately, the emperor’s stiff expression eases a bit.
“Marquis Dran.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“As a warrior, you have done a lot for this empire and this continent. Although he was a commoner, he had sufficient qualifications to rise to the rank of marquis. However.”
The Emperor glares at me again.
“It’s not that I haven’t heard anything about the Marquis of Dran.”
“…”
Huh.
“When I asked my daughters, it didn’t seem like I was misunderstanding anything. No matter how much I think about it, I don’t understand why two wise daughters like the same man even though they know that… Well, I guess I’ll have to make up my mind too.”
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty.”
If I were the emperor, I would be really upset.
“And again, what I’m worried about is your interference in affairs. You know this, right? “I have chosen the first princess, Asabel Silve, to be the next emperor.”
“W-what?”
“Honey. Shhh.”
The two parents were startled by those words. I had ears to hear, but I didn’t know this deeply, so my hands couldn’t help but tremble when I heard that one of the women related to my son would become emperor. First of all, it’s not a good reaction. It’s pure embarrassment.
Anyway, what should we do to gain the emperor’s trust? In fact, there is no way for the emperor to confirm that. The value of my name cannot but affect the empire at this time. That’s what a warrior is. Still, I have to give you an answer.
“I am not coveting Princess Asabel Silve. “She loves Asabel Silve, the woman.”
Another embarrassing word.
However, Asabel doesn’t know what’s so good about it and pats Lucia next to her on the shoulder and says, ‘Oh my, I don’t know~’ and feels embarrassed.
“And I also love Her Royal Highness Princess Lucia Silve.”
“That… Go.”
In other words, I was not interested in the imperial power at all. And this was true. Although I’m good at thinking well, it’s too much of a headache to get caught up in something as complicated as politics. It’d be nice if I could become a noble, but when it comes to actual work, I’d rather hand it over to Grace and the like. Why would I have such a hard time living my life?
“If you really need the emperor’s power, it’s during the battle with the demon king’s army. That would be it.”
It is a conversation between men and men. Now, I wasn’t making any lame comments at all. There are no lies coming out of my mouth at all. The Emperor must have sensed this as well, and after laughing for a moment, he nods his head.
“Okay, okay. Fortunately, you are an upright person, so I feel a little relieved.”
At this point, I knew it. The emperor acknowledged me.
“Then should I call you guys like this now? “In-laws?”
“Yes?”
“Oh, no, no.”
“It will be an in-law relationship, so it’s okay to talk comfortably when you meet in private.”
The parents and the emperor, who were still distraught, began talking about marriage in earnest. Now all you have to do is naturally go with this flow. I smiled brightly at the two princesses sitting across from me, and the shy smile returned.
In real life, no emperor would accept this 😂
