I spent a few days from there paying attention to Emilia's surroundings so that it was easy to tell from anyone.

Since there were many people who witnessed the scene where Emilia was surrounded by the ladies, and since the next day the ladies were not hiding Emilia, it was necessary to spread the word that I was serving as guard externally.

I also got a caged gaze of anger from the warlords hostile to Emilia, but I'm not afraid of the helpless girls, the anger that doesn't involve killing.

By the time I plugged in for the weekend, the students' standing had calmed down, and the college began to calm down.

Now, on my first holiday at the Academy of Learning, I left Emilia in a dormitory with the three Tiras to attend the House of Lords with Claudia and Oscar, who arrived to Wang Du in an exemplary day.

It's spring, and it's not just the Academy of Learning that moves in the Wang Capital on New Year's Eve. This year there were several meetings during the winter due to post-war processing, so there is little awareness of the opening, but today is the first regular gathering.

Usually the opening ceremony of a rally means that today's rally is not between the House of Lords, but a large hall on its upper floor.

"This is the arrival of Count Cardia!

Complete the reception of the close guard opponent at the entrance to the hall, and when you enter, gather your gaze throughout the hall. It is up to the Earl of Einschvark to look around and thank you, and head first in return for a salute meeting.

"Oh, Lord Eliza."

"Count Einschvark, you are as strong as you were in the winter."

Raise one hand and greet the Earl, who called me by name in a flamboyant manner, and similarly exchange words with Weegraf and Volmarf, who are next to him.

There is no Elgnard. He is probably acting for Uncle Wang in Fort Yugfena. My wife just gave birth, so I guess that doesn't explain why she works with this.

"I heard that. Like being promoted to an in-school escort for Her Royal Highness the Grand Duchess of Lindar?

It is naturally a wee graph that I have brought up that topic quickly. With a smile and a gentle laugh, the delightful air has not been hidden.

"Yes, honestly, I am afraid of the extra burden"

I don't think there's much more to it.

When I tried to gently, Volmarf cut me completely and threw me away.

"The end of the war is three wings, Ellis and Uncle Taeve's male Jecardia. Excellent distribution, not only of martial arts, but also perfect political dominance as a lord, then give your share and never reach out to power in the king's capital. She is a woman and makes no mistakes, and has second place to His Royal Highness Prince Wang within the Academy called Count. It's not as good as it sounds."

Further arranged in detail by Weegraf, I turned my silent, slight gaze towards him.

It is more or less his fault that the end of the war has come to be said to be a tri-winger, Hung Jie. I'll take the liberty of flushing troublesome maneuvers to people, I'll push people into flashy maneuvers that are likely to be talked about, whatever I wanted to do. Without it, the end of the war would not have been a triplet, and the end of the war would have put him on the divine side as the main winged wee graph.

"Don't be in a bad mood. It feels good to hear your youngest son's progress."

"... Count Einschvark, I do not remember having an adopted child relationship with the Count..."

"Never mind. Isn't it something similar?"

... Well, if you say so.

I have no choice but to shut up when Count Einschvark tells me.

Instead, he seemed to decide to leave me a little softened with a deep wrinkle between his brows, and the three glances seemed to have moved from me to Claudia and Oscar, who would refrain behind them.

"Oscar, it's been a long time since you've seen this. I heard you married Miss Claudia."

"Yes, Master Volmarf"

"... but nothing has changed. It's not worth it..."

I agreed in my heart with Volmarf's shuddering voice. Oscar and Claudia really haven't looked very different since before marriage. What the hell is this difference when Gunter, who married his daughter-in-law at the same time, said he was so exposed to loose faces in his newlyweds?

"My wife and I are sworn to serve each other as knights, because we have the priority of our master."

... Me.

I see.

I wasn't willing to say anything about the relationship between the two of them, but this is... I might need to talk to Oscar a couple of words later.

Look after me, if Claudia is going to have a baby, now that the battle with Lindar is over and I'm in the Academy is the most convenient time.

It would also be better to have a near-age baby as an environment. If they are my two children, it is my decree that they will be my adopted children's followers.

Weegraf and Wolfram muttered with an indescribable look.

Rather than both......, Kuchi gave priority to his life as a knight in the fortress of the castle of Yugfena with his three brothers, his wife and son, in combination with his youngest son, in the king's capital.

"... Cohon. By the way."

Weegraf rushed to turn where the topic was going to hurt.

"Did you know? The Earl of Nordstelm, who has been drawn to the realm for many years to be cautious and to mourn, seems to be returning to the King's Capital this year to take part in the House of Lords."

"Count Nordstelm?

The Great Fire in Wangdushita Town is still new to memory.

The news of the assassination of the former Marquis Nordstelm, who hid an assassin from the Principality of Denzel and the heretical monastery of the church with which he had his hands tied, made the court noisy for the time being.

Naturally, the Nordstelms were found guilty, but in view of the influence of the Nordstelms in the north and the fact that their party, the Principal, had already died, it ended in the payment of large sums of compensation and the confiscation of some territories, the consequent descent of the title and the disposition of five years of prudence, in which the son of one of the Candidates inherited the status and property left behind.

"... oh, if you make a rumor. I'm here."

Weegraf's gaze flows to the entrance of the hall. I imitated it and turned around, and on the other side of the Kingsguard knight, I saw a slender, tall man.

The shadow resembles his father enough to dislike him. But I got a very different impression because of the unheeded look on my face.

"This is the arrival of Count Nordstelm!

The hall softens to the tense voice of the Kingsguard knight.

In the shadow that followed Count Nordstelm, who stepped out flutteringly in it.

Hiu, and I was stuck breathing.

─ ─ On purpose, the twist spreads.

When I was grabbed on the shoulder to envelop me from behind and pushed towards the wall, three members of the Einschvark family stood like walls hiding me.

It was Melchior, the man who named my brother, who appeared from behind Count Nordstelm as a living copy of me - relative to that day of great fire.
