Chapter 205 – Episode 203. If – When We Woke Up, We Became Two! (5)
Wolfgang hurried as if he would leave at any moment, but the departure was that evening.
Leopold worked so hard that it took Asti and Astrid a long time to get up and regain their senses, and after that, it was well past lunchtime.
Is that all, there were several procedures left, such as having a brief refreshment right after waking up and leaving a message in advance to enter the palace and have an audience with Kreutz in the meantime.
Because of that, as a result, it wasn’t until late in the evening that I was able to leave the residence of the Grand Duke of Mitterien.
“Anyway, this is an after-the-fact notice.”
“… Sorry.”
The atmosphere inside the carriage was not very bright.
It can only be.
Wolfgang did not know that Astrid and Asti were both sleeping with Leopold. Astya, since she had a child anyway, she thought that she would marry Leopold, but Astrid… She thought it wouldn’t be yet, but now that she’s back, there are a few oddities.
Wolfgang let out a long sigh when he saw Asti and Astrid sitting close together on either side of Leopold, just like in the carriage now.
“Okay… That I hadn’t noticed who to blame It’s going to be like this anyway, so I should say thank you for letting me know, albeit belatedly.”
“Haha… “
Leopold smiled awkwardly and averted his gaze.
“Dad, though, Your Highness will succeed His Majesty and become the leader of all people. Just because she has two wives doesn’t mean that won’t be a fault.”
Astrid’s tone was slightly, but her resentment lingered.
Even so, it didn’t look very good for Wolfgang to embarrass Leopold like this.
Anyway, Leopold was the crown prince, and he was the one who would succeed Kreuz as emperor.
Even though Wolfgang is a grand duke, he is definitely not the same as the emperor, so it doesn’t look too good to be so embarrassed.
“You’re already my husband, so you’re on my side? Therefore… Yes, it must be Astrid, judging by the slim belly. I didn’t know you would change like this.”
“What else did I say?”
When Astrid saw her mouth stick out, Wolfgang let out a long sigh.
It is embarrassing that her daughter, whom she has raised with great care, has suddenly become two.
How can I not know Abby’s heart?
What the vassals said at a drinking party that it was useless to raise her daughter was indeed true.
I thought it wouldn’t be our Asti, it would be different, but that was a really stupid idea.
After all, it was around the time of her marriage, so seeing how cheap and cheap it was in the West, she didn’t know that her father was falling apart.
“Anyway, Dad. If you think differently, it might be a good thing.”
“Asti, what are you talking about again?”
Wolfgang looked at Asti calmly.
Asti, who had been sitting silently for a while, was looking at Wolfgang with an awkward smile.
“If my father gets married to His Highness, whom I have known well since I was little, it would be more comfortable for me. Over there… South or East… If you get married to a place where it is difficult for you to meet your father, you will be more anxious.”
“Is Asti your sister?”
Wolfgang suddenly asked.
I wonder why I hadn’t thought of this before.
If she were a sister she would have an older sister and she would have a younger brother.
But normally, she wasn’t a properly born sister, so she hadn’t thought of that.
“No, I am your sister.”
Astrid interrupted as soon as the words came out.
Where is her sister and where is her brother?
It was one body anyway!
Since I was born there, where are my older sisters and where are my younger siblings?
However, superiority and inferiority are necessary, so Asti intervened without missing the opportunity.
“No, I am your sister.”
“I am your sister.”
And unfortunately, it was a topic that Asti and Astrid felt the need for.
It was also an issue that hadn’t been sorted out yet.
“I haven’t decided yet. I would do just that. Leopold, what is your opinion?”
“You mean your sister and her brother?”
“Yes.”
Leopold thought quietly.
If I had to pick one, it would be Asti.
Asti is a bit more mature, and it’s a bit difficult to decide on something like this, but Asti had a child first…
Asti’s judgment is a bit faster…
“Anyway, Asti is a bit like an older sister.”
“Majesty!”
It was Astrid who screamed loudly.
Seeing this, Asti definitely looks more like an older sister.
“Yes, Asti is a bit more gentle. I guess Asti is right for you.”
“Ughhhhh… “
Astrid bit her lip and trembled.
Maybe that’s right.
Asti had a more mature side than her, and Astrid was well aware of that.
That’s right.
If I had to decide, her sister would be Asti.
It’s embarrassing, but it’s true.
But it’s annoying

“So, there must be a reason why all four of them showed up like this?”
Kreuz greeted them in a normal palace, not in the throne room.
He roughly guessed why he had come, and when he saw Wolfgang’s stiff face, that roughness hardened into certainty.
Perhaps, starting with Wolfgang, Leopold, Asti, and Astrid all came together…
It must have come to inform that the homework given to Leopold has been resolved.
“Okay, so we had a cup of tea. I’d like to hear some conclusions now. Isn’t it the kind of relationship where people here can save face by going back and forth about this and that?”
It’s not right for my personality to wrap it up with words like this and that, saying it’s polite.
Kreuz smirked and scanned his audience.
Kreuz kept an eye on Leopold with such an unspoken pressure to say that now that he’s done with his face, get down to business.
“… Yes, Your Majesty.”
“It’s a private stone.”
“Father.”
“Okay.”
“I’m here to give you an answer to the question you asked earlier.”
Decide who you will be loyal to.
That was Kreuz’s question, and now Leopold has come to answer it.
Leopold took a deep, shallow breath, organizing his thoughts in his head.
Neither Kreuz nor Wolfgang did not recite after the loss of his wife.
After gaining his children one by one, he lost his wife soon after, but for the next 20 years, he did not remarry and raised his children alone.
Leopold couldn’t help but be nervous, since the words “Both of them will be mine” Couldn’t come out so easily from such a father.
“They are both mine.”
Oh no.
This isn’t it.
“What?”
But it was spilled water.
Regarding the words that came out of Leopold’s mouth before he could even organize his thoughts, Kreuz’s eyebrows twitched as he stared at Leopold.
“Tell me again. What did you say now?”
… It was already too late to turn around.
“Both, so Asti and Astrid. Both, both women, I will take.”
“It is natural.”
“What’s right?!”
Wolfgang slammed the table and jumped to his feet.
Like Wolfgang, everyone uses brute force one by one, so maybe it’s because the table was made with special care, so it doesn’t collapse to this extent.
“What if it’s not natural, Wolfgang. Isn’t Astrid and Asti originally one body? If both of them were betrothed to Leopold, if they send only one word saying that now they have become two… Will the two of you understand?”
“… It doesn’t matter if you agree or not.”
“Then did you ask the parties? What do you think What do the new baby ‘s’ think?”
Kreuz looks over Asti and Astrid.
And Wolfgang looking at it again with his ax eyes open.
Receiving both of their gazes at the same time, Asti smiled awkwardly, perhaps embarrassed.
“… Astrid?”
“My sister, take care of it. Because I don’t know.”
Are you a sister at this time?
Asti was dumbfounded.
However, Astrid seemed to have decided to accept it in her heart, so Asti had no choice but to take a very small deep breath.
“… I’ve never thought of another marriage. It’s only natural that I already have a royal family, but Astrid is like that too. You probably never even thought about marrying someone else from the time you were born until now. Except for Her Highness Leopold, neither of us has ever thought of marriage.”
“I see.”
“… Joy.”
Wolfgang puffed out his snort a few times and sat down.
I knew it, but hearing it directly from her daughter’s mouth like this is a bit of a shock.
“Anyway, Leopold, what are you going to do? They both said they would welcome them as wives, but there is no answer to the question of what to do with the marriage.”
At that, Asti and Astrid shut their mouths.
If you go all the way here and interfere, there is a very high possibility that the opposite effect will come out.
“I have no intention of distinguishing between the right room and the concubine room. When I said that I would accept both of them, I meant that I would do them both faithfully.”
“Huh.”
Kreuz was amazed at the bold statement.
He is the son whom he only saw as a child.
He is said to be over twenty, and although he is a grown-up son, he has always seemed young to his parents.
“Do you know that there is no precedent?”
“Even if it’s a precedent, isn’t it just Father? Even if it’s a precedent, it’s only one minute. And what is the need for the distinction between the right room and the side room? Both are my wives. Rather, it seems that the precedent to distinguish is even more strange. Wouldn’t it be more desirable for me to get rid of that distinction and greet you fairly as a wife?”
“Huh… “
At that, both Kreuz and Wolfgang fell silent.
Creutz, who had no intention of opposing it from the beginning, did the same, but why did a guy who speaks so well bring me along… Wolfgang couldn’t shake off that question.
