Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Today was the day of Count Frost's march. In other words, it is the day that Lycaen leaves for a region where war might break out. So I wanted to feed her something better and tastier.

However, I don't know what that ignorant Menen just said, but I think he's standing still.

Derek turns to his son, staring at Menen, who stands silently.

“Hmm, Licagien. ”

“Yes, Father. ”

“Did you sleep well last night? ”

“Of course.”

“Huh, I see. You don't need anything? ”

“What do you need? ”

“Well, you have to take it before you leave, or you want to eat it.... ”

“Nothing, Father. ”

After shaking his head like it was nothing to think about, Derek had to make a stiff face. I'm the butler's son, and I don't know anything about it.

Sheena, who was quietly grinding the bread, tilted her head and asked.

“Dad, what's wrong with you today? You usually don't talk much at breakfast? ”

Her words remind me of the look on Derek's face of despair. A butler, a son, a daughter.

“Haaa! ”

Derek takes a long sigh and raises his soup again. It seemed like it was hard to feed the quality meat that was brought to my son yesterday.

I would have asked you to bring it, but I did this, but I felt some pride in speaking to him in person.

But so is that. However, on the day my son left for the battlefield, I was very sorry as a father that I couldn't even feed him delicious food.

At that time, Hildor, who was worse than him, finally stepped out.

“Hey, Menen. ”

Menen glances at you with a puzzling look. During breakfast, Derek talks to you, and this time up to Hildor, which makes me think it's a very strange morning.

“Is Pelo still in the kitchen? ”

“Of course.”

“Yes, then go to Pelo and make a delicious dish out of it that he brought in yesterday. ”

“Yes? Since this morning? ”

Hildor gestures at the heedless Menen to the end.

“Today is my son's trip, and he wants to feed me something delicious. Are you trying to interrupt that? ”

“Ah!”

Then I remembered what was happening in Menen's head. Plus, I can see why Derek brought up the beef.

You turn your eyes to look at Derek, and you see him firing a lifelike glare at you.

Ugh, I can't believe I made this mistake! ’

Menen, who was so embarrassed, ran out in a hurry and shouted.

“I'll have them ready for you right away! ”

In Menen's ears, you hear Derek's voice speaking behind his back.

“How can it be a person who doesn't notice? ”

"Aah!"

I cried a little.

After Menen escapes, Derek speaks to Lycaen.

“Are you prepared? ”

“Do you have anything to prepare? I'm always ready, so I don't have anything else prepared. ”

“Well……. ”

Derek nods as if he has nothing to think about. As soon as he inherited the title, he knew that the most important thing was the strong disease book. At that time, I was quite worried about how it would look, but now I think it will be like this.

But no matter how well prepared you are, the arrows of the battlefield will not stop you. As a father, I couldn't help but worry.

Lycaen smiles, smiling as she looks at Derek's stiff face.

“Don't worry too much. Your son is immortal. ”

“Haha, that's a joke every time. ”

“So he can relax. ”

“Okay, got it. ”

At that moment, Menen leaps in with the door wide open. And since then, Chef Fello has jumped in with a huge plate of food.

“State, you're all set! ”

Before Menen's words were finished, the scent of dark spices spread throughout the room. Despite everyone eating little by little, I suddenly felt a marketplace.

Pelo quickly placed the plate of food onto the table.

“Well, I don't know if it was the right thing to do, but I cooked it as best I could! ”

I was quite surprised. He also was not preparing much because he always learned the habit of the Procures family to eat simple breakfast, but he was surprised when he asked him to come in and fetch meat.

Considering the food on the plate, it's great even if it's made in a hurry. Even though I had enough meat baked quickly by putting it on a strong fire myself, I could barely cook it well enough.

“Well done.”

Derek gladly looks down and says to his family,

“Let's eat. ”

Derek grumbles as you move the fork again.

“But Riccianne. ”

“Yes, Father. ”

“Don't you have to get married now? ”

The answer came from the wrong place, not from Lycaen.

“Yes?! ”

It was Sena. But Derek silently ignores Senna's violent reaction and looks at Riyaen Bay.

“There seems to be a bit of a problem that you're not married yet to the title or inherited yard. So, when you went up to the capital, was there a girl you liked? ”

“Queek, queek! ”

Lycaen suddenly starts coughing violently as if she could hear Sareh. Meanwhile, Senna exclaims in a surprised voice.

“Oh, Dad, what are you getting married for? ”

Derek shakes his head, shaking his head at the cry of his daughter.

“I met your mother when I was seventeen. Married at 20. Your brother is over 20 years old, and you need to start thinking about marriage. ”

Liquenne soothed her breath as she frowned, not saying anything.

“I haven't thought about getting married yet. But now that I've listened to him, I can't slow him down. ”

“Well, from what you're saying, you haven't met your favorite wife yet. ”

“That's true… but I think it would be better if I just married the person you gave me. ”

“Hmm?"

Derek looks a little surprised at his son. It was because Lycaen's words were strictly marriage.

If you save your son's companion as a parent, you can't help but look at things. What a character is, what an idea is right, what a home is, what I grew up learning, etc. And as soon as you think about it, that marriage will eventually become a marriage.

Lycaen, who read his father's surprised expression, still smiled.

“It doesn't matter if it's a marriage. ”

“Hmm, but don't you know we've never had a formal marriage in our family? ”

To be precise, it meant that we had to go back a few steps to find a suitable marriage. It was because Earl Frost's ascension led to an inability to get married.

Of course, when I saw the title 'Earl’, I had a family that invited me to join them, but I refused because I had other plans. It turned out that marriage was a family customary way to meet and marry someone you liked.

“I'm well aware of that... but no one in particular likes it. That's why I'm asking you two. ”

At that time, Hildor opened his mouth, just listening to me.

“Licagien.”

It was not the nickname ‘Leak’, but ‘Lika Iyen’ as well as the meaning that she was refined. Lycaen, who knows it, looks nervous.

“Yes, Mother. ”

“A marriage is a dark and lonely life for a woman after that. Not all marriages are, of course, but many are. I don't want my son to be a man who makes women unhappy. ”

Licaien also said with a serious look, according to Hilder.

“Political marriage is sad because it's used as a tool. But wouldn't it make me unhappy if I didn't think so, and I didn't violate my right to do so? Just in case. I got married appropriately, but then I might become affectionate……. And mom, just because my dad decides to marry me doesn't mean that it's an arranged marriage. ”

Seeing Rikkien speaking with a firm expression, Derek and Hildor uncovered their foreheads without my knowledge.

Likayen's thoughts are not so wrong, and given the shape she's talking about, she had a hunch that she would never find someone to marry on her own.

In other words, it meant that two people should go around many places and find a girl who would not be lacking as her son's companion.

And you both knew it was never going to be easy.

Derek nods nervously.

“I knew what you were thinking. When this war is over, let's find out. Instead, you must return unharmed. Do you understand?”

“How many times do I have to tell you? Your son is immortal. ”

“Haha! Okay, got it. ”
