Black Haired King

"Huh, it's big."

I come down to the big front door and I say that. From the gate to the front door is large enough to allow the carriage to circle slowly, and the mansion is three floors long but quite large. It's about the size of five Gremond mansions combined.

"Hehe. I'm glad you said that. But other dukes and marquises are similar."

That's what Victoria says with a smile as she stands next to him looking at the mansion as I say hehe. Surely there was another house called the Duke's. I learned it at school last time. Septembalm to the west and Balstan to the north.

Each will have a duke territory at the same distance from the king's capital to be a defensive base when each duke territory is in need. As a result, there are more soldiers than in other territories.

And it will be the House of the Marquis of Hasfort that the representatives of the East put together the Listnick Marquis and the South. Naturally, the Gremonds, the stepchildren of the Listnick Marquis, will also be on the east side.

"Shall we go then?"

I will lead Victoria to the Mansion. In front of the front door of the mansion is a line of samurai, all of them bowing their heads. One old man emerges from it. He's wearing a swallow tail suit, so maybe he's a butler.

"Welcome back, ma'am"

"Yeah, I'm home now, Ben. What about your father?

"Yes, I'll be waiting with your wife and Master Gail in the courtyard"

"Okay. Then come after me, Redius."

"Oh, okay"

I gently bow my head to the butler and the samurai and follow Victoria behind me. The butler's people smile with Nico and can't read inside, but some of the other samurai are normal, others come to see with scornful eyes. Some people look blatantly disgusted.

Naturally, I'm not the only one who figured that out. Victoria and Marie.

"I'm sorry, Redius. It made me uncomfortable."

And Victoria apologized. Mr. Marie also comes head down behind Victoria. Nothing. I don't care. Conversely, I take the reaction of the samurai for granted.

"I don't care about anything. It's a routine tea meal."

When I said that, the Victorians didn't say any more. It gets a little awkward and follows Victoria without anyone talking.

This mansion is quite large. If I were alone, I'd be absolutely lost. This.

"Ugh!"

As I follow Victoria that way, I hear someone screaming and the sound of iron bumping into her. Is this a sword meeting? Victoria doesn't look like she cared, and moves on to the sounder.

A little further, it was out there, in a large courtyard. Colorful flowers bloom around the courtyard and smell like flowers.

In the heart of the flowers blooming like its enclosure, a magnificent man had a sword with a young man. The magnificent man has blonde hair in bulk behind him and beards growing in his jaw. Younger men also have blonde hair, but a face I've seen somewhere. The year would be around 20.

"Ho ho ho! Young lady, then you can't beat Non!

"Damn! Germud is strong after all. But I'm not gonna get hit that easy either!

With that said, two people happily meeting their swords. Ya, I've been nagging. I'd really like to mix it up. Know what I think or not, Victoria walks next to it.

Ahead, it was like a terrace from the mansion, where two men and women sat. There are samurai and soldiers around. The man is blonde and a little plump. But the atmosphere is so sharp that it can't be compared to normal people. I guess this guy is the Duke of Septembalm.

The woman sitting next to it was so similar to Victoria that she thought she would be when she got old as she was. He is smiling as he hides his mouth with a fan. Is this the man Mrs. Septembalm?

"Father. I brought him in."

"Huh? Whoa, you're home, Victoria. Thank you very much."

"Oh. Welcome back, Victoria. Good luck."

When they both notice Victoria has returned, they smile gently and work Victoria. And the two of you staring straight at me... oh, isn't the temperature difference too intense?

"Is that the one who's gonna be on your team?

"Yes, Father. His name is…"

"You're Redius, right? Born as the second son of the Baron Gremond family, he's a duped man."

Did you check it out? Well, maybe it's easier if you use the power of the Duke's house.

"... If you know, why did you call me?

"You always say that, don't you? I can only trust what I actually see and feel. Besides, he's the brother of the woman who kicked you off. That's all I'm angry about."

And the Duke of Septemberme is going to make me kill myself. Medium density. This guy seems to have quite an arm, too, but he's normal compared to the time of war.

So I say hello without putting on the table how I care.

"Thank you for inviting me. My name is Redius. We are teaming up with Victoria against the school."

And thank the nobles. The Duke of Septembalm turns to "Hun" and the Lady says "Fair enough".

... I don't know what else to do. I haven't had a chance to say hello to nobles in the last few years. I just used to be taught by my sister, too, and I remember.

"That's it."

"... damn"

When I greet him like that, the sword trident that was ringing behind me stops. Looking back, a sword of a magnificent man was stuck in the young man's throat.

Then a magnificent man lays down his sword and walks all the way to the Duke of Septemberme. A young man who flirts beside me glances at me, then stands before the Duke of Septemberme. I, you resent me too much in this house.

"Father. I've lost"

"Is Germud still better at a few pieces? Gail needs to improve."

"Yes, Father. So he did?

"Oh, shall I show you soon then? Grimd, are you ready?

"Ha! It's okay!

And at some point Grimd, who had finished preparing, stood with his hands on his sword in the heart of the courtyard where he had been fighting until earlier.

"I'm sorry, but if I don't know what you're capable of, I can't let Victoria in. You can't hurt your precious daughter."

... you like your daughter too much. You're a parent idiot. I would never put it in my mouth, though.

"Okay."

That's all I'm saying, head to the center of the courtyard. I'm so nagging! Shh, how strong is it? Looking forward to it!
