Common Sense of a Warrior

Then, a few days later.

I was on my way to your father's office to see him for a long time.

Your father has been busy lately, and I haven't had a chance to meet you inside because I visit the Duke of Almeria's house like every day.

I had Aurelia's lesson today, but it was a rare day off for your father.

"... father. May I now?

I knock on the room, then open the door and ask as I show my face.

My house is always like this while it's manners to be so proactive when it comes to family if it's supposed to be...

For a father who has been in the army for a long time, do you think the first touch is to waste time?

It is true that, as the moment and the state of war change, the information would arrive slower if we waited with one touch ahead of time.

You're totally used to that, and you've lost touch at home at some point?

Since I've been used to this before, it's a fact I've learned since I took a lesson in manners from Master Aurelia.

By the way, they haven't even touched on the Duke of Almeria's house.

Is it true that the previous generations of lords who were being chased by the executive did so to make the most of their time?

"... in"

I beg your pardon.

When I entered the room, I had a father who was rarely surrounded by papers.

If it was always at the desk, it was about a report from the realm or material in the military.

"What's up? Merry."

"I have a question for you"

With that said, your father takes his seat and moves to the seat in front of me.

"Why... did your father make his engagement to the Duke of Almeria so strong?

"Oh, my God, on the stick."

"I've been wondering. Why did your father push things like that? Your father won't care if it's for the house."

"How can you say that? He's a member of the nobility."

"... That said, Father. After all, that doesn't tie you to the father I know. I'm sure there's a reason."

"There's no reason for this. It's just that Romel's son can take care of you.... Until I Thought So"

"... really?

"Terrible. Or are you unhappy with your engagement to Lord Louis?

"No way! I can't wait to marry him now"

To my words, your father opens his mouth as he exhales in relief.

"Then it's good, isn't it?... Whatever the kick-ass thing is, the kind of man that makes you look like that is going to be your partner."

What kind of face is that?

Yes, touching my petty face while I doubt it.

But I just touched my face... I still had to look in the mirror and I didn't know what look I was getting at.

"Speaking of which, father. I'll show my face to training again."

"What are you talking about? I don't..."

"Louis, admit it. That would be good if it were like me...... So for the first time in a long time, I'm going to send you to training as Mel."

"You're an enemy, Lord Louis. Admit it, Lord Louis.

"I guess so..."

I've never heard anything else of a high-ranking aristocratic child waving a sword.

Whatever the Marquis Anderson family honored with martial arts, I never thought that would be allowed at the Duke of Almeria's.

"... No way, did you recommend you and Louis get along in anticipation of that?

"Is that what you're holding? The answer is no. Nong didn't know Lord Louis in the first place. No, Mary seemed to know Lord Louis, but when did she get to know him?

"That was just when I came to King's Capital. Look, back then... I must have been the ramp, right? You keep losing in mock matches, and the results of your training are bad. At such a depressing time, losing to Donalty exploded... me, I jumped out of my house and out of town. That's when I met him."

"Well, so you knew Mary as' Mel '?

"Yeah, well."

"I see.... I'm sure Romel noticed that. That Sexual Evil."

Your father laughed with pleasure as he took offense.

"The training thing is not good unless Lord Louis forgives it. But Lord Aurelia is letting me learn. Never neglect it."

"I understand that."

"... well, your lord will be fine. Whatever it is, it's half Merrilda's blood."

Somewhere your father had his lonely eyes.

"... how did your father meet your mother?

"What the hell is wrong with your lord today? All those unplugged questions..."

"Isn't that good? I decided to get engaged, and I was curious about the journey to where my parents had never heard of me before."

"... I see. Meet Merrilda was the site of the battlefield. It was Merrilda who was helping the injured in the aftermath of the war.

"... the baroness has rescued the injured?

"Oh... I hear you never studied medicine. Still, there is a lot to do, such as changing bandages and feeding meals. She took the lead by going to the crime scene. She nursed diligently without makeup, and when she realized that Merrilda was on the side of those who were not told by anyone at night, she began to follow with her eyes. At the time, Nong did not have the great title of general, but often came to visit the crew as one captain. I started talking a lot. Nobu's crew has been heating up Merrilda for a long time."

"So, confess to your mother?

"No, it wasn't a confession, it was a proposal"

"Well, you're aggressive......!

"All I could think about was Merrilda. Merrilda accepted, and she got engaged safely.... but then, when I get back, I'm going to worship the general. We're going to talk about taking over the Marquis Anderson family. So it's been tough for someone to show up and interrupt my marriage to Merrilda. In particular, the opposite of this House was awesome. At the time, Marquis Anderson's house was slaughtered inside."

Your father dared speak in a light tone, but the contents are heavy inside.

"... to him, Anderson's family name was just a heavy shackle, and the Marquis would have been like a cramped prison. Until then, when he was free to relax, Non brought him into the world.... but still, he chose the path to walk with Noon. And he tried his best not to embarrass me as Marquise to shut them up."

Your father strokes my head softly.

The gesture was gentle, the grin pitiful.

"The Lord has half inherited such Merrilda's blood. Not even half the blood of that gentle, beautiful woman with an unreasonably strong spirit that Non fell in love with... So, it's okay. Whatever hard things happen from now on, the Lord can go beyond them. Non is so sure."

"Thank you, Father"

... I ended up not really listening to what I wanted to hear, but I was nevertheless quite satisfied that I could hear a mother I didn't know.
