For a man directly from the Clavis family, a New Year's Eve was a festival.

They camp in the old ruins behind the mansion and burn the pine lights to protect the bonfire from extinguishing all that night, when the old god takes his place, and when the sun rises in the morning, they occupy the precedence of the New Year from the state of the remaining firewood that burns.

It ends in the days when the royal family still presided over the sacrifice, defending the king who carried out the New Year's Eve divinity all night long. The Clavis family is a family with knights in their ancestors who guarded their kings in the old days.

Only this ritual continues pulsating, even now that he has been granted status by recognition of his devotion to the King and has become a Marquis family ruling a vast territory and no longer a knight defending the King. It is a strict, solemn, old magic festival.

- It should be.

Felix was heartbroken and prayed that the sun would wake up as soon as possible.

Because I knew deep down early in the beginning that I was a complete sacrifice and a dish of liquor this evening.

Four men surround the burning fire that burns brightly behind the Clavis Landmark Hall, at the base of a bonfire brilliantly lit in the glittering snow.

A majestic, gray-haired old man stirs up tough liquor closest to the fire is the Clavis sign of his predecessors. A gloriously beautiful middle-aged man burning his golden hair to red copper while throwing in moderate firewood is the contemporary Marquis Clavis. Looking next to it is Niyanya and her nephew, the brother of Kravis weather, a masculine looking knight who gives a wild taste to his beauty very similar to his brother's. And —— it is Felix, the next generation of the Clavis sign and sacrifice of the day, who is watching the fire in silence, freezing the beauty of a direction that is the opposite of that of his father and uncle.

"Nevertheless, this is a quiet new year, brother"

"Let's see how busy Luna was."

Felix snuck in the back of his throat and bit off his sigh. When it comes to feeling so sacrificial, it's because my sister married her and she's gone from the house.

Felix's sister, Luna Mare, is a princess of beauty even called 'The Goddess of Society'. His father's similar face is gorgeous and his bright blue eyes shine like a clear sky. And she had that appearance street personality. —— I love the lively and fun things, just a little selfish with the victory. Makes people around them feel like festivals.

Such a sister naturally walked the social world as wide as ours, eventually shooting the young duke of the kingdom's three great dukes and marrying him this summer solstice.

If such a princess is gone and all that is left is a sparsely spoken younger brother - Felix - it is not something we can help but quiet down in the house.

"Right. Until Princess Chibi was born, I thought she was gorgeous enough just for my sister-in-law."

"Oh, I was. I was. I was. Instead of the fire lighting our house, it was as bright as the fire burned. But well, I just married one daughter, and I just didn't expect it to be so quiet. Your wife is very sweet."

"That's a cat. I'm wearing a big cat. But sure enough, you'll be quiet while you're at Clavis, so don't get too busy."

"You always say that, but you've never had your wings off before, so let's not make a scene with a cat."

"Maybe a bobcat or a tiger.... but when it gets quiet like this, it doesn't go crazy. If I don't get a new sun soon, my sister-in-law will explode... storm... won't she be missed?

Um, I don't know if my beautiful, but harsh, successful, more powerful sister —— Felix, who made her a teacher on the other hand, was a much dearer brother than my sister —— would ever dye her cheeks in love and float in the face of happiness. The world is still full of wonder.

When his sister married him, Felix thought so, but in a house quiet as the fire had gone out, he finally realized that he was in a situation where 'even if he was quiet, he would stand out'.

"Right. I don't have to go until I pick you up, but I have to make an appointment."

"I didn't think I'd make up my mind until I was this age."

"... until you decide which one of you is going to be King Prince, there's no other way because you couldn't move, you know?

"Right."

Felix sighed as he sidelined his father and uncle, who sighed with pleasure. This is the topic that has been grasped here and again since the end of this year's social season. Although there were still escapes in the house, it seemed like a little torture, even if the water could not be pointed directly at it, when it was thus impossible to get away from the fire overnight.

"That said. It's been four years, isn't it? My brother has a heavy back."

"I don't know... I don't have the right princess to sign up from us right now. They're all great, but I don't know if they lack a decision-maker. I would try to push him back if he met me somewhere."

"... you don't?

"............ don't you?

"…………… what are you talking about"

"Woman"

He didn't even hide his laid-back face, and Felix became a distant eye.

"Hey, Ferfang. Now that we're cleared over there, you're gonna be a lot easier than a fishing book, aren't you? You're a good face, and there 'll be plenty of women to call, won't there? Aren't you there?

"... I fully agree with your father. I don't remember a woman saying,"

"Really? Speaking of which, I have no idea what Felboy's lady likes."

"I don't know either."

"What kind of woman do you prefer? You?

"I'll take it into account, so tell me if you do. If silence passes, it's not a virtue."

"... it's a big deal not to look beautiful."

Felix breathes softly as he realizes that he has one more gaze to be poured.

Felix's grandfather, his predecessor Clavis, gave up the housekeeper, and then never spoke out about what his son would do. He didn't seem willing to say anything about Felix's marriage either.

But, apart from the 'sounds interesting' thing, apparently. I'm also going to say sigh.

Felix is a little bad at women. Especially women with gorgeous, lively personalities. He thinks it would be the same type of woman as his attentive sister as it is and, furthermore, the influence of the mother who raised it. Furthermore, because I am accustomed to seeing my sister as a beautiful mother with different directions, or even if I look at the beautiful women, my heart will not move.

Even looking at the fishing books and figure paintings of the women presented to my father, I would prefer not to flash-faced women if I could, and I would be anxious if I tried to make them powerful Felix as knights, a luxurious woman who is likely to break if the wind blows. Instead of accidentally hurting her, she's going to get hurt on a daily basis.

"... if you are similar to your sister or mother, I would like to refrain."

Ha ha the laughter of the three rose, and Felix abandoned himself and stirred the cup.

"Lavish, poor woman, I don't think so."

My eyes sit on the tight liquor that burns my throat. Pour more liquor at your disposal and Felix mouths to the cup again.

"If I insist, are you a woman who can stand my character"

"... you suddenly narrowed your mouth!

"I don't care if you don't keep talking silently, you're not a beautiful woman but you're not inferior enough, you're quite a meaty woman, you're a daughter-in-law who can be a marquise... don't make it hard for me to say, you too"

"You there?"

"Don't come with a pin..."

"How's the princess of the Mira family?

"Don't feel too luxurious... I wonder if the Oriens had a daughter too"

"I won't be able to do that. He's a close friend of Luna's, and he's quite beautiful."

Felix decided to shut his mouth after giving his eyes to his father and uncle, who had begun to thrive with brothers again. To myself spending my days in the Knights, I don't meet women, I don't like nightclubs called during the season, I focus on doing my time. I know my appearance is noisy by women, but if I can spot what I'm trying to do, it's visibly disillusioned.

—— If I stayed alone for another 10 years, my father would have prepared a marriage that would benefit the Clavis family. Fortunately, a man is never called "daughter-in-law" or anything, and he's 30 years old after 10 years.

If you're a woman who will be the Marquis and accept to have her own child, that doesn't matter, but I wonder what my father is so obsessed with.

I want to at least prepare a happy marriage for my son, who even sees his first love -- my grandfather pounding Felix's back, who sighs without knowing the heart of such a parent.

The next morning, Felix, who saw firewood fortune as a magician, "The Waiter is to the North". What a result he puts his neck on, as well as throwing a ring in the early summer to get a North Raw (...) fiancée, is a story of the future that we still don't see.
