A party at the royal castle.

At the dawn of the year, many nobles are invited to throw a party. There were a few days until the beginning of the year, but some nobles from the province had already come and stayed in the Wang capital, so the party to which they had been invited had taken place like a day in a row.

aristocracy governing the southern part of the country in which it took part.

"It's a pleasure to meet you."

Wearing a suit, I was in.

I am not going to participate actively, but a nobleman who noticed me in the corner holding a dish with a dish of dishes has spoken to me.

"I am a man named Lebrandt, lord of Hafel."

Men are aristocratic but in a shitty position.

"We have heard rumors about you. Looks like you even crusaded a massive band of bandits and it really helped."

Hafel is a town northwest of Alistair.

In other words, because it was within the influence of Baron Sealing, a merchant had been attacked by bandits and many things had been taken.

I was grateful to us for destroying that band of bandits.

"Rumor has it that party members are attractive women, but when you look at them, you can see that the rumors weren't wrong."

Melissa, who was next door, bowed her head and Sylvia was smiling. The other three have a hard expression.

Everyone was invited to participate this time. It is Melissa's belief that she is a party member because she has become more prominent than expected.

"No... I envy Lord Alistair for holding such an excellent young man"

"This is where they are helping us."

Viscount Hafer and Earl Alistair collude between the nobles.

Mr. Gaelio joins in hiding how tired he is. I was going to collapse when I was distracted because I helped the store and brought in a place where I was tired.

"Are you all right?

"Yeah......"

Noel looking uncomfortable.

The kingdom of Métis, where the position of the beast man is weak. I hardly feel that when I go to the country, but I don't see any non-human species because they are remarkable in places where these aristocrats come together. It can be said that there is no alternative because the original number is low.

Only one beast is at the party.

That made me stand out and they were pointing a strange gaze at me.

"I knew you'd go home?

"But you told me you wanted to see everyone's face."

The Duke had told us all to attend the party.

"Your Majesty, enter"

Curtis showed up at the party venue saying she was attending the party appropriately.

We need to get to know each other more at these parties because we're new to being kings.

"Guys, I don't mind if you take it easy. A young man who has just become a new king. In order to govern the country correctly, you will need the help of your nobles. Let's lead the country to peace with the right heart, just like we did with a successful coup."

Lift a glass by saying a line that perhaps someone in the minister would have drawn.

The nobles go on to make a toast, and the bickering begins again.

All we have to do is indulge in some delicious food... not really.

"Thanks for your help this time."

Curtis, with all his majesty as king, comes first before us.

"No, until I did what I could as a requested adventurer"

I grip because Curtis has been putting out his hand.

Shaking hands of kings and adventurers. Nobles in party venues become noisy at the sights that are normally impossible.

"Is this okay?"

"Thanks to you for saving me"

Confirm with a small voice that we can only hear each other.

The party ensued, and a belated person arrived at the party venue.

"You seem to be late because you're lost, but you're determined to come."

"Is something wrong?

I know the circumstances, Mr. Gaelio.

It was Baron Sealing who arrived late.

"Example Bandits. There was a back-trade, so the Baron Sealing family wasn't actively involved, but some of the ministers acted greedy."

Although the damage caused by the bandits has been admitted, the responsibility lies with the minister.

Still, there's no way you don't take ministerial responsibility.

"The title is demoted to Associate Baron. Besides, a supervisor was put on, and part of the territory he was ruling was to be ruled by officials seconded by the state."

Nominally as before.

However, real rights are being renewed and thus gradually reduced over the years to the territorial size deserving of the Associate Baron.

Baron Sealing... No, it's more of a problem for Associate Baron Sealing than that...

"Often, don't come to places like this."

I wonder if you're ashamed.

"I hear you were working with a bandit."

"True, it's a disgrace to the aristocracy"

I'm blushing at words whispered from around me.

Still, he was holding his fist by pushing his anger to death because he couldn't scream.

"How did you really get to a place like this?

"Because that was the condition for granting this trial."

Too sweet a tribunal for the Sealing family.

Depending on Curtis' mood, it's no surprise he's been executed by clans. Sweet judgment was given thanks to Count Alistair, who hated taking care of the border. But then I couldn't stop thinking about the Duke.

"Thus attending the party becomes a spectacle for the nobles. I'm trying to expose myself to how stupid I've been."

Baron Sealing called from the kingdom.

I had to obey if I listened to the discretion that was given to me.

"... is that what you want to cling to your aristocratic status until then?

To ensure that Associate Baron Sealing is able to remain aristocratic, albeit the Associate Baron, in shame.

I'm not noble, and I don't know what I'm going to be noble about.

"I would have tried to be as noble as I used to be"

Successor to the Lagway family, and Mr. Gaelio, who officially took the lead.

"The aristocracy that goes on for a long time is determined to be the successor at the moment of birth. So nobility is proud to be noble. Unthinkably stubborn, such as to cease to be aristocrats. It would be lamentable if there should be pride as a nobleman in that action"

Mr. Gaelio lost his aristocratic status due to circumstances beyond his control and became a civilian.

He was expected to be a nobleman from the moment he was born, and temporarily fell into the illusion that he had lost everything to Mr. Gaelio, who had spent all his time.

But Mr. Gaelio, who lost his status, didn't lose everything.

"Melissa let go, but she had a family beside me"

My family's support made me bearable.

"And that's when I realized it was ridiculous to stick to my position."

The fact that I went from gaelio lagway to gaelio allowed me to live as one person.

"Merrill will become independent as well as Melissa. There's not much I can do for you as a parent. That's why I want that kid to be happy."

"I will do everything I can."

I'm already going to do that, even if they haven't told me.

Unlike the aristocrats, when I realized it, I had responsibilities. Besides, every single one of my actions affects more than ten families.

There have been many more fences.

Still, we have to work hard to fulfill our responsibilities.
