"... hah"

I managed to calm down and exhaled in my room alone.

I was accepted.

And there's nothing 'just' about me!

(Absolutely, I came because I was being dictated.)

Still, it's hard to fit around the pleasant mouth.

The two of us had dinner after the uncomfortable proposal, and Yulia returned to her room early tomorrow morning because she was early.

I feel like I'm dreaming when I'm alone in my room.

I can't help feeling happy and helpless. At this age, I feel like a child.

"I wish I could get it back during my trip."

I don't think this is a match, but I think Julia just gave it to me.

That's why I want to give her as much happiness as I get.

If we can be happy together, how happy is that?

I told Julia everything.

I just didn't talk about it.

The reason why my father was reluctant to propose to her.

Does Julia already know?

This is just my father's imagination, so I didn't say anything about it because I thought it might upset her... but I'd like to look into this a little bit before I talk about it.

I checked a little, but I want to check a little more.

(... Julia said she was happy to be with me.But, as my father told me... is it a reality that if she's capable, maybe she shouldn't be with me?)

No matter how famous the eldest son of the Count of Baum, he is bastard after all.

In the aristocratic society, the eldest son under the patronage of his father is the principal.That's why the people around me are reluctant and respectful of me.

But what happens when Dean inherits the trail?

I'm only in the position of Dean's brother, who became the main player.

Apart from waving the sword, Julia has a lot of fame, unlike me, who is seen in the eyes of "Dean's spare."

The trustworthy, faithful, youthful, and uppermost aristocrats are the only ones born to the daughter, eldest daughter of a territorially noble nobleman, and the princess.

In addition, the Marquis of Nashanda has admitted that it is a "business partner" and the Marquis himself in the specialty products of the Marquis of Nashanda, and it will certainly bring wealth to the management of the territory.

"... is it just me?"

I will spare no effort if she wishes.

In order to obtain the title, I think that in the future, I will volunteer to the crusaders and win the right.

Of course, I will consult and decide without going too far ahead.

It is my own fault that I did not want to go along the way of my subordinate.

But at the same time, I think this is a good story for Julia.

So I'm not going back, and I can't give it up.

This is because the wife of the subordinate is a subordinate no matter how she scratches her feet.

In aristocratic societies, there is a wide separation between the main house and the branch.

The treatment will vary from house to house, and at least the Baum family will not imitate the inequality so clearly.

Still, those people out there aren't.

Perhaps Her Royal Highness and Julia, who can be married in the not too distant future, will show their friendship as sister-in-law, but Julia will... be treated like a shady person in a social setting.

I just (...) can't let Julia go.

I think the same knights who are just (...) disadvantaged in terms of money will only want to be different from now on.

(Well, it's all up to me.)

It is so frustrating not to say that there is no movement to let a man who is just a branch lord or a knight settle down marry Julia.

At the very least, I understand that most people respect her will.

Still, Vicomte Fundid will not be able to do the same.

For now, I think the presence of Count Celeste is controlling these people... hah, I'm a troublesome senpai, but I can still count on you.

Though it is a sardine.

(Actually)

I'm all of them. I wish I could.

If only I had not been born in such trouble, but as my stepmother's son and eldest son.

I know Dean had a lot of regrets about me from distant people.

It would have been painful for him to admire me, no matter how much he laughed at me.

You didn't have to carry such a burden.

That's funny.

It seemed like a long time ago that Dean was supposed to take over the trail and let me go from my father.

After only a year or so, I think I've changed badly, and I laugh.

Well, that's fine.

Julia chose me.

You just chose me.

Then I want to be the man who can only respond to her thoughts.

As a knight, for her support.

(... well, the proposition itself has succeeded in getting out of shape, and now we can only steadily clean up one by one without wanting too much)

Shall I lower my head to Senpai Keith (...) and His Majesty the King's brother so that no one will show up to disturb her company?

Speaking of which, the Marquis of Nashanda also called out to me for help, and, oh, Julia's virtue is helping me again.

(I just want Julia to stay with me.)

I know it's selfish. So I won't tell you.

She chose me.Isn't that enough?

(First, I got her permission, so I had to work with my father and apply for the engagement to the Vicomte de Fundid... and then I had to meet him and go through the engagement process.)

I don't think Lord Fundid would be surprised by my offer of engagement because I've met him before.

I am Julia's dear parent, so I will write the letter carefully so as not to be rude.My father may still have something to say, but let's ask him first through his stepmother.

Somehow, my father can't raise his head above his stepmother.

Then what should I do with the engagement ring?

Normally, it might be a good surprise for a man to prepare and give, but which is Julia?

(Either way, she laughs at me)

Oh, the only thing that comes to mind when I think about this is the smile that she showed me joy in my words.

Though I'm sure you won't refuse, I'll keep it a secret for a while that was pretty exciting inside.

Besides, it wasn't easy for me to visit her room many times at night or go out of my way to host her in a town house to actually bury the outer moat... well, one day I'll ask for forgiveness.

I'm sorry I'm such a slut.

Oh, why would you do that?

Something sweet fills your chest.

I felt like I wanted to be with her, I wanted to hold her, and I shouldn't act as I thought I should, and I behaved as if I had shown understanding of her words that I wanted to rest early.

(But I appreciate your trust, but I'm worried about being defenseless from now on.)

Oh, still.

I don't think she's my fiancée anymore, even though it's not official yet.

I was happy, and I didn't know what to say.
