I'm sorry to hear you were a prince when you were reincarnated. I can't do one abs right now, but I'm gonna lose weight and save another world.

Now that my feelings have hardened, I will call King Zeno, Mifa's father, and accept the engagement announcement at today's closing ceremony.

I came to my room right away. "She looks happier than Mifa..."

"Thank you, Luke! You've made up your mind!" No, actually, the ministers were noisy. "

As friendly and light as ever, I'm really glad.

♪It seems that the ministers were impatient to have the master marry Princess Miffa before she was brought back to her own country.

There is not one minister. The Minister of the Interior, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of the Army and so on were filled, and they were replacing them and urging them.

"Father, are the ministers against your marriage to Lord Luke?"

"It's the other way around, Miffa. Luke, your father, King Julius, said," Give me my son! "It seems that the ministers have also been contacted, and the ministers are desperate to let the god beasts and ancient dragons stay in this country no matter what."

After all, that's what matters more than me, right?

It is said that even one ancient dragon will die in the country... there is no stupid country like that to start a war against. It's only natural that you want to keep it in your own country.

Ahahah, my father's sorry.

"No, no, I think I'll do the same if I'm in the opposite position." So, I'll officially announce it at the closing ceremony, right? "

"Yes, give me Princess Miffa." I will take care of it for the rest of my life. ”

Oh, take care of my daughter!

"I'm glad to hear that.♡"

Miffa, who was listening beside me, looked so happy. "I'll take care of it for the rest of my life."

What bothers me about the engagement announcement is my position and treatment in the future.

"So, what will I do in the future?" When you marry Miffa, the story of the "son-in-law" to the Duke's house will flow, right? "

"That's right. I think we'll have Luke's family name in this country, and Emilia will marry Luke as the Second Lady." Tonight, there will be a discussion between the leading officials of this country, but I think the question is whether to have a territory or give the royal capital a mansion and a title. ”

"Hmmm, I'm a hassle with territorial management, so maybe I should just give you the title..."

"" "No! I definitely want to have a territory!" "

"What happened to everyone all of a sudden?"

When I said I didn't need a territory, I broke it down into stories about not only Mifa, but also Emilia, Iris, Erica, and Natalie.

Lord Luke's title is guaranteed by his devils, but he can't leave anything for his children.

The future of the child... that's how Miffa thinks about it.

"Yes, Master Luke!" The servants had a contract with Lord Luke, and they were not inherited by the children. In that case, the children will have to defend their family name with their own abilities. But no matter how hereditary the system, the higher your title, the more you need to serve your country. ”

This is a supplementary explanation for Ellis.

"I see... if we have a territory, we can open up more farmland and territory, and contribute to the country with food and per capita taxes."

“Yes, you don't have to stick to farmland, but if you don't have a territory, the number of generations that you have is very different. Without territory, children would have to work hard to get civil and military positions.”

Actually, I don't know much about hereditary systems because Luke didn't know anything about this.

"To be honest, I don't know much about the hereditary system... what is the number of successive generations?"

……

"Luke, you know that the state pays you for your title, right?"

"Yes, I know that for the flints. The higher the title, the bigger the amount you get, right?"

"That's true when it comes to base salary. In order to prevent a situation such as that in which even a servant with a high title cannot be hired, the amount is determined so that a servant corresponding to the title can be hired. Borderland counties and other places face regions with many beasts and borders, and there are soldiers to protect them, so the amount will be added according to the threat level."

I see, the nobility and the people who don't have a housemate will underestimate you.

"If the nobility is no longer respected by the common people, it has no value." I receive taxes, and I go to Knight School to train my strength to protect civilians who are less able to use force against beasts, enemy countries, bandits, etc. But even if you pay from the state, some houses won't be able to hire a squire for a few years because they're in debt. The only way you can do that is to strip them of their titles. ”

You're a fallen aristocrat, aren't you?

"Well, you can't be a deficit country, so there's a limit to how much the country can pay for the title." In other words, there is a ceiling on the number of titles, and the higher the amount, the smaller the number of titles. ”

What is the most common title you get?

From the top, you are the Grand Duke, Duke, Marquis, Frontier Uncle, Count, Viscount, Baron, Baroness, Lord of Commons, and Lord of Knights.

"I don't know about the Grand Duke and the Lord of Kung Fu..."

"The Reigning Lord is an honorary title granted to those who were active among the knights." The baronet is awarded for his extraordinary work. I'm an honorary prince, so I can't inherit it. The Grand Duke is about the same, and he is a title bestowed on a specially accomplished family in the rank of Duke of the Royal Family, the king's brother. "

The Duke of Gail cleared out the rogue nobility, and it seems that the merits of bringing prosperity to his inherited territory are great, and he will soon become the Grand Duke.

"Was it the general name of the Honorary Lord?" So, which title will I get? "

"At first, I was planning to be a marquis, but I think I'll probably be a duke." Some ministers say we should give the Grand Duke. Divine Beast, Ancient Dragon, and Holy Beast have such a big influence. "

Is there a limit to the number of dukes?

"There is... Actually, this is the most troubling part." Because it is the bloodline of the royal family, the amount of payment is large in order to provide a suitable living environment. "

"If there is a limit to the number of dukes, there will be those who will not receive the duke if there are more brothers when the king's generation is changed." What's going on around here? "

"The Duke's title is up to twenty houses. It's actually more than a marquis. That's why the number of successor generations mentioned earlier is relevant. Since the number of dukes will continue to increase as a result of the system of permanent succession of the duke's title through hereditary succession, the duke's title will be relegated to the third generation. It is guaranteed up to the third generation, but in the meantime, houses that have not contributed to the country will be relegated to the fourth generation. The degree of demotion depends on the level of contribution of the house, so it's still more advantageous to have a territory.”

"When the king reigned, he could have several dukes' houses, but in the meantime, he was demoted and made some room..."

"The first princes of the Duke's House were trained in advanced imperial studies in the Royal Castle, so most of them are excellent." However, I don't know if I'll grow up spoiled, but the 2nd and 3rd generations are often in trouble and will be demoted or stripped of their titles...... I'm really in trouble. "

At present, there are only 12 dukes in this country.

It was patriarchal, but the assessment of the Duke's title seemed harsh.

It is natural that the amount to be paid is large.



The "Summoning Ritual" of the general club that I went to in the afternoon ended around 3: 00. After all, there weren't many people in schools with a large audience or in adventurers' guilds. If I summoned an orc or something, everyone would laugh at me. It seems that many ordinary people go to royal castles and churches without a crowd.

Currently, the principal is greeting the entire school while the students are watching.

"This year has been an extraordinary harvest. Even Weyburn and Drake are amazing, but isn't it the first time in the world that an ancient dragon has been summoned by a god-beast?... To the best of my knowledge, there have been only three cases of the Holy Beast summoned by Her Royal Highness. Now, shall we close the meeting by introducing the invoked B-rank or higher followers? First of all, I'm calling you, Weyburn's Pippi-chan!"

Only B-grade or higher demon beasts were revealed in the order they were summoned.

Of course, my Diana has also become a dragon... and stands out quite a bit.

The fact that there was no one behind me meant that no demonic beast of grade B or higher was summoned to the general department.

♪Master, I want the Arachnay spider thread. Could you speak to the Summoner next to you and negotiate with him?

What about the spider thread?

There are many ways to♪use it. The thickness of the thread can be used for clothes, fishing lines, etc.

Fishing line... nice!

That's why I see the one who summoned Arachnae... she's getting along so well!

What's the matter? [I can't have that kind of relationship with a Spider-Man!]

He can't do it anymore! I just saw her eyes and dyed my cheeks red!

Speak to him next to Meafa.

Can I have a minute?

"Le, Lord Luke, what is it?"

You don't have to be so nervous...

"Actually, I want the Arachnay spider thread you summoned." I'll pay the market price, so could you give it to me regularly? "

"I'm sorry." In fact, I've already heard a few voices from several places... and I've decided to sell it to a clothing store for my exclusive use. "

I think I should kick your husband's ass and tell him about the clothing store, but should I wholesale it to you?

But I already signed up for it.

Arachne put her face to his ear and began to talk.

♪That Arachne is better than him. He seems to be the second son of the Viscount family, and Arachnay is convinced that nobility should prioritize royal relations over clothing stores. ”

Naturally, the lower nobility struggles everywhere with gifts and tributes in order to have a relationship with the higher nobility. The nobles are the only idiots who refuse this opportunity.

Your Royal Highness Luke, let me tell you this story.

Well, of course it does… We shouldn't miss this opportunity to be continuously associated with our royal relatives.

"Thank you. Thank you very much." I don't want to buy everything I have, so it's good to take it from the clothing store as it is. "

Thank you for your concern.

"So, Your Highness, what kind of yarn do you want from me?"

We talked directly with Arakne and ordered several types of yarn characteristics and thickness.

Nabby was so happy that he gave me all the yarn he had.

When I had a business meeting with Araknae, the presentation of the principal, Pippi-chan, was over at some point, and it was an introduction to the knight's department, Drake. In the two days between yesterday and today, there was a lot of explanation, and he proudly straddled Drake, a commoner who was making a fuss about "no need".

When Spinel and Hattie were introduced, a yellow cheer came from the girls because of their cuteness, and when Diana was at the venue, a loud voice came from the entire venue. After all, if you're big, you'll be excited.

Then, when some of the students laughed at the [Fairy Mischief], Nabby giggled again and dragged her back to the workshop inside the [Inventory]......

The closing remarks will be made by Zeno, the king, not the principal.

"Good day to you all for three days." Several rare demon beasts have been summoned by magic circles outside the school this year. "

What kind of beast are you, King?

Several of the students asked questions.

It's impossible in my kingdom of Volga. It is disrespected that the king comes in broken when he is speaking, and asks the king questions directly. Do you have any questions? 'Some people ask when the king calls, but it's normal to hesitate.

This country might be a better fit for me as it feels friendly.

That's right, in the Royal Castle, the Augur is an old beast who is a little old in the temple, but it seems that a large fire dragon has come.

"" Oh! ""

After enjoying the conversation with the students, it seems that it is finally time to publish the example.

“I know a lot of people already, but I want to make it official again. Luke, Mifa, Emilia, come here."

The three of us are called to the stage.

"Luke, the Third Prince of the Volga Kingdom, takes this opportunity to announce that he is engaged to my daughter, Princess Meafa, and the eldest daughter of the Duke of Forrest, Emilia!"

The biggest cheers of the day came from the venue... although some boys have raised their voices of resentment.
