Chapter 208: Preparation
When I returned to the Quardenze residence, I felt exhausted.
Sitting on the sofa in the hall, my father and I waited in silence for the tea to be served.
When the servant placed a teacup filled with tea on the mini-table, my father and I silently took it in our hands.
How was your tour of the royal castle?
On the carriage ride home, my father shut out any questions from me, saying, “We'll talk about it when we get back to the mansion.
The first question after returning to the Quardenze mansion, it seemed, began with a jab to see how things were going.
He said, “It was interesting. There was a very unpleasant story at the end that made me frown a little, but …… Prince Dunkel laughed and forgave me.”
My father looked at me a little amused.He did not expect such a clear rebuke back, and it seemed to be a strong cross-counter to his jab.
However, it was clear that this would be followed by the political marriage between Quardenze Levios, the worst topic since his reincarnation of him.We need to throw a check pitch with the force of stabbing the other party to death.
I heard something happened at the tea party.
We couldn't talk about anything in-depth at the royal castle, and we were mostly silent on the way home.
My father knew little about what had happened between me and the prince. If he had heard anything from the civil official, it was that Prince Dunkel suddenly stood up while we were having tea, and that should have been it.
I decided to explain in chronological order for the time being.
I explained that I was taken to the royal mausoleum, that I met Princess Alina there, and that I enjoyed a tour of the castle afterwards. Then the story goes on to a simple tea ceremony with the prince in the garden.
I heard that my father and King Levios were having a secret meeting. I heard that they are preparing a secret agreement for a mutual marriage between Quardenze and Levios.”
There was no change in my father's expression of him.
I was unintentionally ticked off, even though the Levios family doesn't know how to treat Fanny at all. It caused me to leak a small amount of malicious feelings …….”
It wasn't my crotch that snapped, it was my head. I don't have the sexual preference to take pleasure in being cuckolded.
My father's face turns a little stern, and he asks quietly, “And that made you scowl?
Is that why you scowled?
'Yes. I frowned. Fortunately, the range reached by …… Was as far as the prince.
The leakage of magic was very slight.
At that moment, the prince was startled by my malice and stood up vigorously.However, the people around him, including the civil servants of the Levios family, didn't react in the same way.Rather, they were even surprised by the prince's sudden. Actionhis.
I was on the verge of panic when I peed my pants, but by seeing this, I was able to guess that the scope of the leak was very small and somehow managed to calm myself down.
The prince must have been surprised to see the leak.
He looked around and saw the scope of the impact, as did the prince.
Whatever Prince Dunkel had said, it would have been extremely impolite to respond to it with menacing malice. It was an action that could have drawn a formal protest from the Levios family.
But if the prince is the only one who perceived it, he can do nothing about it ……. He is the only one who can testify that he received malicious intent.
If he tried to protest in any way, the prince would find himself in a difficult position. All I had to do was say, “I didn't mean any harm. If I just lied and said, “It was just a false accusation by the prince,” He would not be able to pursue the matter any further.
Since the release of magic power leaves no physical evidence, the other nobles of the kingdom might think that the Levios family was making a false accusation against the innocent Quardenze family.
Prince Dunkel was in no position to complain about the leakage of my magic.
Yes, the prince was tactful.
But that was only in theory. People are offended by ill will, and it can make them emotional.
Prince Dunkel, however, was exceptionally calm.He quickly hid his panicked expression and even had time to smile.
When I insisted that the leakage of my malicious intent was “My face became stiff,” He immediately understood what I meant and said, “Please don't be surprised. I thought you were sick and almost called for someone from Quardenze,” And he returned with the reason why he had stood up.
This is the best answer I could have given him to indicate on that occasion. I looked a little misbehaved, and the prince got a little flustered …… With the appearance that it was no big deal and that both sides were in pain. This allowed me to bring the conversation to a peaceful conclusion.
However, from that point on, the conversation turned to safe topics such as hobbies, and I was unable to ask him anything about the details of the marriage. As expected, the prince was not so insensitive as to continue with the topic that had once touched his head. I was in a rage, so it was hard for me to ask him to tell me the rest of the story.
It seems we have become quite friendly.
Thinking about it, if I had returned to the Quardenze mansion and suddenly been told about the political marriage, I might have spewed malice toward my father.
I should be grateful to the prince for telling me in advance.
He said, “Yes, I'm looking forward to seeing you at the social. I look forward to seeing you at the social.”
I didn't want to affirm my father's words too much because the topic of marriage was on the horizon. But the civil servants would report to my father later anyway, so there was no point in hiding it.
When we parted, the prince also said that he would like to have another meeting like today between the children.
Perhaps he decided that I was rejecting the king's proposal, and he wanted to establish a friendship with me.
Speaking of social occasions, it was good to make the acquaintance of Princess Alina. She is also up-to-date on wardrobe fashions and is often in the center of the young princesses. It will be easy to talk to her at the social after tomorrow.”
Is it too much to sound like a sales pitch for Princess Aliina?
But I hesitate to make a preemptive attack that she's not my type when she hasn't asked me anything yet.
My father, perhaps wary of my reaction, just gives me a vague description of the princess and doesn't move on from there. Female relationships may be a sensitive subject, but I beg him to go further. I am ready to hit back at him.
'…… Goes without saying, but don't try to pull a face at tomorrow's social gathering, okay? Quardenze Wilk needs to be properly identified as a conversational aristocrat.”
And with the counter sealed, Princess Alina's talk was over.
'Yes.
We must not leak magic power,…… And that is something I, not anyone else, am most acutely aware of.
As long as I remember today's mistake, it will not happen again like this time. But on the other hand, when I forget, I will make the same mistake again. There is no fundamental solution.
It is obvious that the cause is “Stroking Eve,” So we need to take some measures. …… I'll consult with Rave the next time I go to Nambonan City. We'll see if we can get him to meet with Eve then.
I think we can keep it in the back of our minds the next time an uncomfortable subject comes up.”
I continued my appeal, trying to pester my father, who was still in a simpering mood.
Father, I don't know what kind of nonsense King Levios whispered to you, but right now you should be worrying about your son. If you do a bad job, the Quordenze family will end up in the ED.
He threatens his father with his dick. It's going to be a hell of a situation if you just read the text.
'………… Uncomfortable story, huh?'
My father muttered quietly and sat down on the couch, crossed his arms and stared at the floor.
The actual “I'm not a fan of the way you do it,” He said, “But I'm not a fan of the way you do it. It's a …… Unpleasant atmosphere.
I'm going to get an apology from the Grand Duke of Mirendorva tomorrow. Since the exchange will take place in a public place, please be careful not to be rude.”
Apparently, the controversy over the drop was settled with a great victory for the Quardenze family. The Mirendorva family's reputation would have been shattered if they had to apologize in public.
However, this was not the result of my father's negotiating skills.
The small amount of time that he had left in the afternoon would not have been enough to achieve this result after starting the conversation from scratch. King Levios must have worked out a good compromise in advance so that the talks with Grand Duke Mirendorva would be over soon. There was only one reason: he wanted to use the time for other discussions.
I'm sure he could have predicted this settlement when he heard from the prince in the castle gardens that there was going to be a secret meeting. I was so frustrated with the marriage stuff that my mind had not been on that side of things.
Yes, this is not important right now.
I understand. I have been reading ……, And it seems that the Grand Duke of Mirendorva has made a lot of concessions. I imagine the negotiations were difficult.
Apparently, that was not the subject of today's discussion for King Levios, and the conversation soon came to an end.
I could feel that the conversation was getting to the heart of the matter.
I could feel that my father was watching every word I said with alarm.
I think Wilk has heard, too, but King Levios has a proposal for us.”
Then my father took a deep breath and said.
The proposal is that the next generations of Quordenze and Levios will intertermarry and strengthen their relationship and jointly solve the problems we face. We are thinking of having Wilk marry Princess Alina and Prince Dunkel marry Fanny.
I was slightly expecting the prince to make a hasty decision, but alas, that did not seem to be the case.
I was expecting the prince to be quick to make a mistake, but alas, it does not appear to be the case.
So, what did you think, Father?”
I felt a sting in my voice.
But my father remained motionless, his lips moving as he looked at me.
It was a proposal worth considering.
……The magic is not leaking.
The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the most out of your money is to be careful. The illusion of a tightening of the liver made me want to let out a gasp.
I must not be distracted here.
I don't understand your father's idea, so let me ask you why you made such a decision. I am sure that the preliminary consideration was that the marriage was not that realistic. …… Prince Dunkel said that he did not have two main sources of judgment regarding the consideration on the part of Quardenze: one was the king's political ideology, and the other, which we were not allowed to hear…. Did either of them have anything to do with it?”
Father took a sip of his tea in a leisurely motion and nodded quietly.
He nodded quietly. “You are right that we did not have enough material to consider. Especially the part of the information that Wilk was not informed about…….
The part you were told to ask the Marquis of Quardenze about in detail this evening?
Did King Levios tell you about this, Father? Prince Dunkel said that he might not even be able to tell your father.
'That would be a figure of speech. When I did not want to give that information to Wilk, the prince took care to make it easy for me to excuse myself by saying that the king had never told me such a thing.”
Then my father stopped talking. It was not so much that he hesitated to disclose the information, but rather that he seemed to be sorting out in his mind how he should tell me.
I felt frustrated, but kept quiet and waited for him to continue.
The most important thing to remember is that the Levios family is not the only one who is …… Currently facing problems, but the current King Levios, Lord Lugain. Prince Dunkel take over the reigns of the family. I heard that King Levios is very unwilling to let Prince Dunkel take over the reigns of the family. He was going to make him head of the family for a very short period of time, and he was going to make him head of the family in name only, with no real power, and he was going to replace him when a successor had grown up.
I was at a loss for words because of this unexpected information.
I didn't think they were that close.
I can't say it's a matter of whether father and son are on good terms. King Levios is apparently very wary of him. From my point of view, he seems to be more radical in his thinking than the princes who have passed away. If this were a nobleman, a bit of adventurousness would be desirable, but in the position of a royal family, it would make those in the royal family uneasy, or even suspicious in the current climate. He were not so smart.
If his son was so stupid, his father his said, it would not be difficult for King Levios to roll him over and make him his puppet.That's how good a hand Levios Lugain has.
……At least, I thought he wasn't a fool.
I agree. Once he is installed as head of the family, the longer he is on the throne, the easier it will be for him to ward off interference from his father. If that happens, the kingdom will move in a different direction from the one it has taken so far.
Apparently, the king and the prince do not share the same political views, according to the way the father talks.
The fact that the father and son are able to show that they are good friends at the meeting reminds me once again how thick the mask of the nobility is.
But if Prince Dunkel is to be the head of the joint family, where does he intend to bring in his official successor?”
As the prince himself had said, he was the only young man in the Levios family. It would be a complete family uproar to educate and pull in a young boy from a branch line or a shadow family as the successor just because he is insecure, no matter how you think about it. Levios Lugain is on the verge of becoming the second generation in his family.
Well, it is not clear whether such a convenient young boy exists in the first place.
Another option would be to have Princess Alina have a son-in-law and teach imperialism to the child born to her, but the number of the main ancestors has decreased dramatically in recent years, and not many aristocratic families would want to send a male child to the Levios family.
Even if there were, they would be very ambitious. The Levios family has never had a female head of the family, and it is expected that a companion of the head of the family, Alina, would have a certain amount of influence over the family , even if she is a son-in-law.
My father must have anticipated my question, because he continued, “There are two choices.
There are two choices. First, Prince Dunkel can take a wife and give birth to a child. In this case, King Levios will take charge of the child's education.
In order to create the ideal head of the family, the child is said to be forfeited.
Although the Levios family places great importance on education, it is a terrible thing.
'That is true of the prince, but would n't the princess who married into the family protest? Not only about the child, but also about her husband her.'
It is quite conceivable that she would cry to her parents 'house that the children were taken away from her in Alexandria.And Prince Dunkel might take advantage of the pressure from his wife's family to gain real power along with the child.
So be it. It would be good if there were good princesses from noble families who obeyed King Levios and Lord Lugain personally, but they would not be so easy to find. If there is a young princess in a branch of the Levios family or in the shadows, it would be proper to take her as a wife.
Are there any young princesses left in the Levios family?
As far as I know, there are no more young princesses in the branch of the family. If not ……, Princess Alina would have been a candidate. But she has consistently been treated as a pawn in the marriage diplomacy since before Elsinia.”
Princess Aliyna's brand value is high. There are some aristocrats in the world who have a fetish for bloodlines, so to speak. A beautifully dressed princess with a pedigree may be of interest to many men.
I don't want one.
So choice number one is to raise the princess of the…… Shadow family, make her her Prince Dunkel's wife, and have her give birth to an heir?”
When I confirmed this in simple words so that there would be no discrepancies, my father nodded.
Yes,” He said. …… And one more thing, this one must be the real deal. The Levios family has recalled one of the princesses that had been married off after the disaster of the magical beast Elsinia passed. Are you aware of this?”
It is not information that can be hidden, so every nobleman in the kingdom knows about it to varying degrees. Naturally, I knew it too.
I know. You are Princess Ena, aren't you?
She was Levios Ena, the princess who was the sister of Prince Dunkel.
She had been married off to a nobleman of a small to medium-sized kingdom, but had returned to Levios' domain after being forcibly separated due to a crisis in her family.
Princess Ena looks a lot like her late mother Her.It is only natural, since they are father and son.
…… I see.”
Princess Ena's mother was a commoner born to a commoner, a child of the Lord Ancestor, the Blessed One.
The young King Levios fell in love with her at first sight when he saw her caught in the hunt for the main ancestor and raised her as his concubine.Incidentally, she had already died of a strange disease caused by the magical beast Elsinia.
Since my father went out of his way to tell me such a thing, I could imagine the rest of the story to some extent.
I heard that Princess Ena was put into the shadows in order to strengthen the defense of the Levios territory, which lacked a main ancestor.
'You are not mistaken in the sense that it was to relieve the shortage of the Lord Ancestor.
Princess Ena is still young.The words are muddled, but in essence, Princess Ena was sent back to be forced to procreate with her father her…….
If you want to efficiently increase the number of the main ancestors, the best way is for the king and prince to hustle with each other. Maybe the princess of the Shadow family was assigned to the prince because the king can't get an erection there No, it is the other way around. Perhaps the king was convinced that he could get an erection with the Princess Ena. After all, she is the woman who most resembles the girl he once fell in love with at first sight.
I see…No wonder Prince Dunkel can't talk to me.
If the pure Wilk becomes sexually timid after speaking out about the raw, raw affairs of the lower half of the nobility like this, he is sure to receive fierce protests from the Quardenze family.
In other words, your son will be the heir?”
When I asked him, blurring the words “King Levios and King Ena, the girl,” His father answered in the affirmative.
The father affirms, “Most likely. ……The choice is compatible.”
King Levios will impregnate Princess Ena, and Prince Dunkel will impregnate the princess he has repatriated from the shadow family.
In this case, no matter who bears the child first, it is King Levios, the current head of the Levios family, who is in charge of education. On the other side of the coin, the king wins, and on the flip side, the prince loses.
However, the father seems to think that Princess Ena will be conceived sooner than later.Perhaps the princess of the Shadow family is not so promising.Like her face her.
There were a few who had not a few guesses about how Princess Ena would be treated, but everyone thought that any child born would be placed in the shadows. No one would have thought that they would be so anxious about Prince Dunkel that they would distort the correct course of succession.”
The return of Princess Ena was to make room for a child to fill the shortage of a shadow, and the king and prince, though feuding, had no effect on the succession to the throne. And the nobles of the kingdom had been led to believe.
The story that my father has just told me is one that will eventually become public knowledge, but it is only natural that he should keep it a secret in the unstable situation that has just come out of the Elsinian disaster.
He was indeed a master of manipulating the gossip that swirled through the social circles, and he had us all fooled.
Levios Lugain is a man who has led many of the kingdom's aristocrats over the years. He can manipulate a rumor or two to disturb the gossip.
The story has been radically revised. It seems that the incident with Princess Orsian the day before yesterday was decisive, and that we should actively join forces with the Quardenze family.”
Wow.
But is it really that easy to decide on such a big change of policy? I don't think that the Levios faction of the Kingdom's nobility,…… Especially those in the Loushna region, would welcome the introduction of the Quardenze blood and its stronger influence on the Levios family.”
There is currently not a drop of blood exchange between the Quordenze and Levios families.
If they were to form a relationship here, there would probably be objections from those around them.
The marriage of two great noble families is not only a matter for the parties involved;
That is true. The Levios family may also be opposed to the sudden introduction of Quardenze blood into the family. The other side, if possible, would have preferred to establish a track record through a marriage between the less influential branch families first, and then move on to a marriage between the main families.
A trial marriage with a branch family?
But that is currently impossible. Then you have to make a choice.
The father took a deep breath, keeping a serious expression on his face, as if he were the one making the choice.
King Levios has an ideal vision of the future of the kingdom in his mind. It is not a short period of time, such as ten or twenty years from now, but a grand vision for the next hundred or even two hundred years. Relationship with Quardenze would be a major step forward toward that future.
That was probably one of the factors in the decision that Prince Dunkel had mentioned, which the Quordentze family had not been informed of, and which was related to King Levios' political philosophy of his.
I asked my father for an explanation.
It would take a long time to tell the whole story, and it is unlikely that he told me everything about his vision. I will try to omit some of the details here, but to put it simply (……), The current King Levios, Lord Lugain, wants to deepen exchanges among the nobles of the Kingdom.
My father said that he seems to have such an idea as a means to achieve his goal.
Basically, the kingdom's nobles are doing things rather freely.
This is partly because of the kingdom's value of independence and self-reliance, but it is also because neighboring nobles tend to stick together, so their dependence on the kingdom does not increase, and as a result, they are less susceptible to the influence of the central Levios family.
King Levios may want to review the customs in this area. If local marriages decrease and marriages based on the framework of the kingdom increase, local unity will weaken as much as possible. As a result, the weight of the kingdom will increase.
There may be a great deal of opposition from those around them, but it is a decision that could transform the values of the …… Kingdom's aristocracy with regard to marriage.”
If the next heads of the Quardenze and Levios families were to interrmarry, the announcement would have a great effect. It would be a great opportunity to show that marriage is not dependent on distance between the nobles of the kingdom.
Well, there have been many cases of marriages between nobles whose fiefdoms are far apart, but it is not such a major concept. If the man and the woman who will become husband and wife do not have much interaction with each other, there will inevitably be concerns about production.
King Levios is a firm believer in the importance of a marriage. King Levios is by nature a man of sound judgment. He must think highly enough of Wilke's defeat of Princess Orsian that he is willing to ignore the slight disadvantage.
I didn't do it, Orcian did it.
So why am I at a disadvantage? It is a story that I can't quite accept.
I understand King Levios' point of view.
And I cannot help feeling disappointed in my father.
What is this “Room for consideration”? He must be held accountable because it was my father who said it was okay to impregnate Fanny.
And what about the Evenapis family? I think it will affect our future diplomacy in the neighborhood, and above all, it will bring grief to our mother.”
In the first place, the reason why Fanny Fuck was allowed was because of the issue of the heir to the Evenapis family.
There was no way they would force me and King Alina to have a girl. If he had made such a proposal from the beginning, there might have been room to accept it, but after he unilaterally broke it, it was no good anymore. Quardenzes were the ones who had broken their promise, so it was inevitable that relations would deteriorate.
You need to calm down a little.
I am calm.
I picked up the tea and gulped it down in one gulp. My throat was hot.
He said that he was thinking about Wilk's consideration before he continued.
I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to do with this. If you let Prince …… Dunkel marry Fanny, do you understand that it will take a reasonable amount of time before a child is born ?”
I don't want to understand, but I do.”
The prince himself said something about that.
What would happen if Princess Ena had a child in the middle?
Well, the shortage of the main ancestor of the Levios family needs to be resolved even though he has a wife from elsewhere, so Princess Ena will have to pantomime with Papa anyway.
'…… Would never be able to have a child produced by Princess Ena as an heir. She cannot do such an ungodly thing after having received a full wife from the Quardenze family. If we did, Father would protest and interfere here and there. Therefore, we will have to put you in the Shadow House, won't we?”
'Exactly. The child born to Prince Dunkel and Fanny will be the rightful heir to the House of Levios. Now, King Levios will want to take charge of this child's education, but will it really work out that way? That the Quardenze family will interfere through Fanny. In some cases, I may reach out to Prince Dunkel, who is deprived of his real power, and plot to take some advantage from the Levios family.”
When my father says it, it sounds real. Prince Dunkel might also count on it to eliminate his father's influence.
But I wonder if King Levios has factored that into his proposal for intermarriage.I thought he was willing to accept some interference from the Quardensee family, but he still wanted to take advantage of joining hands with them.
Yes, that's why it's worth considering.
This is the point,” My father looked at me.
A child of Quordenze blood is difficult for King Levios to deal with. I want the fact that they were married, but I don't want the Quordentze family to interfere based on that blood. Not have children. We have no choice but to make the child that Princess Ena gave birth to the heir…… Secretly, I think that kind of development is the most desirable. So to speak, they are going to make a track record here by marrying in the branch line. If there is no blood involved in the marriage, then the discontent of the nagging Loushna nobles will be muffled.
What a self-serving …… Idea. What do they think of Fanny?
As a brother, I am annoyed that my lovely sister's unhappiness seems to be desired. Of course, my anger at not being able to hold her is stronger.
'Hmph …… That's why we can propose that development here. We will give Fanny as a bride, but we will take the baby and give it to the Evenapis family for adoption. We can negotiate in that way.
That might save the Levios family, but would the Evenapis family really agree?
Just as I was about to voice my doubts, my father held up his index finger and brought it close to my face.
If I say that much, King Levios will understand.
In that case, Fanny will marry and will go to King's Landing.
It is a very unpleasant future, but we have to listen to it because it is a hypothetical story for now.
When Wilk visits King's Landing, Fanny, who is getting married, will come to visit him here at the Quardenze mansion. I'm sure they'll have a lot to talk about, so I'm sure they'll stay here for a few days. Of course, King Levios will be happy to send her off.
[O……
So you mean that Fanny will be his wife, but it will be me who impregnates her. It is a tremendous amount of immorality to have a child-bearing affair with your own sister that your own father and father-in-law approve of. The immorality is going to make me feel like I'm going to have a tremendous amount of cum.
I'm nominally a child of the Levios family, but in reality I'm a …… Child.I think you should talk to Count Evenapis about it in private.The old man is of a disposition to value facts over pretenses, and I'm sure he'll agree.
The Levios family could release their unwanted children out of the house while maintaining their marital relations.
The Quardenzes can remain loyal to the Evenapis family.
House Evenapis can adopt a child of the desired bloodline.
And I can hold Fanny in my arms and impregnate her.
Until the child is born, Wilk will need to appear frequently in King's Landing,…… But that's what House Levios would want. The fact that the Quardenzes appear to be so enthusiastic about kingdom socializing will help to enhance their authority, and above all, it will serve as a check on Princess Orsian.”
In short, Prince Dunkel is the one who gets the short end of the stick. Since such a secret agreement is made, it should be difficult for the Quardenze family to interfere with the Levios family. His rightful wife, Fanny, and will probably have to procreate with the princess of the Shadow family as his concubine.
I chewed my father's words slowly in my brain and tried to understand them.
Then my father lowered the volume of his voice and whispered.
Among Wilk's favorites, there is a commoner named Lupetta, isn't there?”
Huh? Uh, yes.
The girl seems to have another lover, but I have been informed that Wilk doesn't seem to care much for her.
He wants to say that …… Father didn't mind if she had other lovers or husbands as long as they could have sex with her.
No, not at all.
I don't know what my uncle thought about women, but I want to surround myself with women I like with gusto and not give them to other men.
Lupetta is a special case.She is cute in the way she can n't break her feelings for her Mergin, so I did n't dare to tear her apart.It can be said that she eats in the most delicious way.
If Lupetta voluntarily dumps Mergin and falls in love with me, I'm going to surround her and make her my own woman.
I have always thought that my father tends to identify with my uncle's sexual behavior.
Judging from what I've heard so far, I don't think my uncle and I are much alike except for our strong sexual desires, but maybe the impact of the key word “Adultery” Is so great that the other differences are ignored.
…… No, wait. If you think about it, he didn't force Odie to leave her husband either. If two examples come up in a short period of time, can't we say that they are special cases ?My mistresses include Anna, Mimon, Rave, and many widows.
Perhaps there is a good case to be made for my father's perception that as long as he can hold them, that's all that matters.
'It was I who asked Wilk to take care of Fanny. Consideration is a given, and without this room for negotiation I would have refused to be there today. …… However, this proposal would be a further humiliation for Prince Dunkel, and it would not be easy to find a way to drop it. But if we are to consider accepting King Levios' proposal, this is the one place we must not give in.”
“Father,……”
While saying that it was a matter of consideration, I found that my father was open to the proposal of intermarriage.However, I could feel his consideration and care for me.
Thanks to this, I did not feel betrayed or unforgivable toward my father.
I am grateful for that, but unfortunately my father's consideration is a little off. The process should not be evaluated at all in this matter, the most important thing is the result.
I'm already ready to surround myself with Fanny as my own woman, so sending her to another man's wife or anything like that is out. If we had talked about this first, and I had asked for Wilk's permission to hold her, I would have raised both hands in the air and agreed to it.
I'm sorry to my father, who is thinking of negotiating his way out of this, but I want to reject the mutual engagement itself.
But I'll say that last. If I make a strong resistance at this point, I may not be able to proceed with the negotiations.
First of all, I have not yet heard the whole proposal.
I understand King Levios' thinking, and also about the room for negotiation. At ……, What would be the advantage for Quardenze in accepting this proposal? Father first said that intermarriage would strengthen the relationship and solve the problems that each of us has.”
The benefit of the intermarriage itself is primarily on the part of Levios.
From the Quardenze side, the possibility of suffering a disadvantage such as the expulsion from the kingdom is greatly reduced by being related to the Levios, but that is all. The situation in the kingdom is not such that such an outrageous act can be carried out in the first place, so the value of sending a pretty daughter to the Levios is not at all.
In other words, the solution to the various problems that my father mentioned would be the crux of the proposal.
I can guess to some extent, but I would like to hear it from my father's mouth his.
He said, “…… Quardenze has only one problem to solve, and that is to smash the Spiaseik family.”
Yes, that is the only issue for my father, the absolute killer of the Spiaseiks.
The promise of reinforcements from House Levios? At the dinner table, I was offered a tour of the sweep unit, but I thought that meant cooperation in the post-war sweep …….”
Of course, this was not limited to military cooperation.
The Quardenzes, who swallowed the vast territory of Spierzeig, are like a snake that has eaten its prey and swollen up so large that it cannot move. If it is inadvertently prodded, its belly could burst.
If they would help us politically, we would be well-protected in the kingdom.
But my father shook his head.
No, it's more than that. Reinforcements will come from the Levios and Zerdomitra families, led by the Lord Ancestor, for the invasion of Vojstra. And we can ask Levios' army to help us in the cleanup.
…… Is that in consideration for the post-war period?
The fact that the main ancestral armies from those two families will be coming means that the number of soldiers will be considerable. The Spiaseik family will not escape destruction.
The main reason for this is that the Spiaseik family will not be able to escape destruction.
The creation of enclaves of Levios and Zerdomitra in strange places would leave a mark on the future.
Of course, all of Spiaseik belongs to Quardenze.
That is very generous of you. What, then, will the Quardenzes do instead? It seems that even the Zel'Dmitra family is involved.
It is impossible to have this full support system just by intermarriage.In order to fill the gap, the Levios family will be asked to cooperate in solving various problems they are facing.And perhaps one of them must involve the Zeldmitra family.
My father speaks quietly.
“Cooperation in the invasion of St. Navempos,” He said quietly.
…… I think that would be to the advantage of the Levios family.
If they are going to assault the Holy City, they will unilaterally beat up the free city groups located along the invasion route with the Kingdom's army. If they can weaken the rival independent aristocratic houses and successfully destroy the cooperation between the cities, it could be said that it would be to the advantage of the Zeldmietra family. However, it is not clear whether the benefit would be enough for the Quardenzes to send out reinforcements.
To begin with, it seems that the idea of invading St. Navempos came from the Zeldmitra family to the Levios family. And that invasion route was predicated on the assumption that the Umon Islands would be overrun.”
'Ah, there you have it. That would certainly be a great gain.”
The territory of the Zeldmitra family can be described in the shape of a dragon's head with its mouth wide open. The reason for such an odd shape is that they do not have control over Lake Umong and the islands scattered around it.
The Zeldmitra family might be called a navy …… Lake army, but it is said that they have very few troops on the water. To ward off harassment by independent aristocratic families based on the islands of Lake Umong.
The request is more like a mediation request to the Evenapis family than to the Quardenzes,” He said. It is the Zeldmitra family's intention to gain a foothold in the Umon Islands with the cooperation of the soldiers at the port of Lake Hartinos and the navy. Of the Levios family.
The headquarters of the Evenapis family is in the city of Hartinos, one of the largest port towns on Lake Meo.
The Evenapis army is skilled in ship-based combat and has a good track record. It is the strongest army in Meo Lake at least.
By the way, according to King Levios' proposal, which will come first, the invasion of St. Navempos or the invasion of the Voistula Plain?
'It would be the invasion of St. Navempos.
I had a few thoughts on that answer, but I had a feeling that this was going to turn into a cheating strategy talk.
At any rate, at this point I only have an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of intermarriage.
The war with the Spierzeik family can be ended safely and surely. …… This is probably the biggest advantage in my father's opinion. In return, the Quardenzes would have to accompany the invasion of St. Navempos, but it would be much easier than the Quardenzes going alone against the Spiaseiks.
The Levios family wants to cooperate with the invasion of St. Navempos.
The Quardenzes want to cooperate in the destruction of the Spiaseiks.
The main purpose of the intermarriage should be considered as a kind of contract to make this exchange happen.
I am against this marriage.
The only way to prevent this from taking place is to destroy one of the terms of the exchange. It is time for me to stand up for my beloved sister.
“Father. I will do my best to invade Spierzeig's territory, so I don't need reinforcements. So there is no need for Fanny to get married.
I will take care of Fanny at …………. I promise.”
That's not what I meant, Master Papa.
Not long ago, if I could hold Fanny, I might have been able to tolerate marrying her off her.But I can't stand to have what was once granted to me taken away.What was wrong with the timing, or rather , the orcian?
But from the way my father was talking, I guessed that he was ready to accept the king's proposal as long as the fanny-fucking problem was solved. We must definitely stop him.
It's too soon to tell since the Spiaseik family is preparing for a big battle. When I get back from King's Landing, I'll blow them to pieces from the front. With your grandfather there, I don't think it will be that difficult .”
No matter how strong my magic is, there are no absolutes in a battle of the Lord's ancestors.
But if I don't stand up here, when will I stand up? I am ready to go to the battlefield to protect my sister.
Whether or not I negotiate an engagement, I will never allow you to charge into Spierzeig's army, which is prepared to fight a great battle.
Father……”
The battle of the Lord's Ancestral Army is quite different from dealing with demonic beasts. If you are underestimating the battle against the nobles in Operation Serpent's Fang, change that now. Is fully prepared for the main ancestor. Never underestimate the …… Magic residue, there is nothing more terrifying than that, and you may not even be able to get up.
My father stood up a little from the couch and grabbed my shoulders with both hands.
The father stood up a little from the couch and grabbed me by the shoulders with both hands, his strength his strong.Is that clear?”
'……Yes.'
He looked and sounded as if he didn't want to say anything.
But I can't lose. I'm going to blurt it out as much as I can in this situation.
But Princess Alina was not my favorite. Can we really get along as a couple?
Rather, I had previously told my father that the requirements for a marriage partner were “A princess who would be beneficial to the Quardenze family and who is beautiful.
My father seems to have evaluated these two requirements based on the total value. The first requirement is 150 points, the second requirement is 30 points, and the total is 180 points, so the average score is 90 points! Yes, I passed!” Yes, I passed! The first condition and the second condition must exceed 80 points each.
Let's include that in the negotiation. The humiliation of the bedroom is unavoidable. Fortunately, now that he is considered a paranoid person, it will be easier to add it to the conditions.
Bedroom humiliation is, in essence, reusing and pouring semen that has been discharged elsewhere, and for a noble princess, this is a disgrace that could kill her in a fit of rage. It is a last resort for aristocratic couples who are unable to have children.
Looking back through history, there have been no small number of cases of nobles committing suicide or becoming mentally ill because of the humiliation they endure.
This method is not guaranteed to succeed. Some male aristocrats, upon learning in advance that their semen will be reused, will not be able to get an erection even with someone they have been able to have sex with before.
How do you feel about …… Fanny? If what has been said so far is true, Fanny will be far away from her hometown of Kuordenze, she will not be close to her husband, and the child she gave birth to will be taken away from her. She would probably be very sad.”
Fanny is hungry for family love. Even if her father and the king succeed in their proposal, Fanny will be alone for the rest of her life.
Just the thought of her standing alone in a darkened room fills me with a sense of helplessness.
My father must have imagined this, too, because his face contorted violently and he said in a voice that sounded as if he had been dragged up from the depths of the earth, “I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
If there is a way to ensure the burial of the Spierzeik family, then it must be chosen. That is the duty of those born in Quardenze.
As a person living in a world of hereditary succession, that may be right.
The reason I can do as I please is because I was born as a legitimate son of the Kuordenze family.
I don't have a big heart to be selfish when I am told that it is the responsibility of a member of the Kuordenze family.I am sure that Fanny will find it hard to give up.It is unavoidable for the sake of the family .
But I don't want to allow that to happen.
My father has repeatedly told me that he will take care of me.
From his attitudehis, I could see that he was very positive about King Levios' proposal.
This is a really bad development.
No matter what I suggest, it will be cut in two with the family's treasured sword of duty.
I have been told that the invasion of St. Navempos will come first, but isn't that going to take too much time? It would take 10 to 20 years, considering the free cities along the way.
I wanted to get rid of this “Political marriage is the prescribed course” Vibe, so I turned the conversation back to the subject at hand. I didn't want to admit that I was going to marry Fannie if I kept breathing.
I didn't want to let them get a word out of me.
You think so, don't you? I was not so sure. I guess …… This story was brought up so that the Levios family could think of the invasion of St. Navempos as a realistic story. …”
It seemed that my father wanted to change the air as well. He began to talk about the invasion strategy devised by the Levios and Zeldomitra families.
I took a deep breath in my mind as I watched my father speak a little too quickly.
I should probably assume that it would be difficult to persuade my father now. Besides, it would still take some time to reach a mutual marriage agreement. At least, it would not be announced during this social gathering.
Prince Dunkel seemed to be against King Levios.We should find out his true intentions the next time we meet.
And then there is the Spierzeik family ……. If we can manage this guy, there will be no need to send Fanny away, and we can make a clean slate out of everything.
……After all, the conclusion remains the same.
I will destroy the Spierzeik family with my own hands.
I will destroy the Spiaseik family with my own hands.
The saying “I’d go to war for you” fits Wilk perfectly. All for wanting to take care of his sister lol.
This storyy has crazy depth for a smut novel.
