When he returned to Wang Capital, people from all over Wang Capital were gathered to see. He had already been told that he had won all over the King's Capital. I couldn't stand the gaze of such a people, and I was waving with a pulled grin.

Upon returning to the castle, he was allowed to pass during the sight without having time to rest. Inside were nobles and kings, and Sophie.

"The fort's offense, it was brilliant. When you attack Istria with so many widows, you say that your strength was as real as you say it was."

"No, the soldiers fought well, too. This victory would not have been grasped by my power alone."

"You don't have to be modest. Now, before you receive your reward, speak up to whoever is more eager than anyone to return."

Turning to Sophie for the king's word, she ran over here like she couldn't wait and jumped into my chest. I guess that means she couldn't wait for me to come home so much that she did this in public with a big personality.

"Princess Sophia, you're back as promised."

"Yes, Master Yard. I was sure he would come back."

She hugged this one, so she hugged this one back too. Exclamation is raised from the surrounding nobles, but some humans look remorseful, and some of them don't even hide their anger-filled expressions.

"It's a good thing we're close. Viscount, name the Count as of today. And marry your daughter."

"Thank you"

"Um, I'll have the other rewards sent to the mansion later, so you should head back to the mansion first. If we were to get married, we'd have to prepare ourselves."

"I'll let you do that."

"Um, I'll let you know later about the ceremony"

The last time I saw the king's words, I sent Sophie back to the mansion.

Once in the basement, there was still a Fairis figure there. He greeted me with a smile when I came back.

"Welcome home, Master Yard"

"Oh, I'm just back. Since I have decided to marry Princess Sophia, the suspicion of heresy will be clear for Lord Fairis and I alike"

"Well... that's good news"

I thought the usual Fairis would be a little happier, but she had a grin that she couldn't stop listening to me. Tia and Natalia came in looking at whether something was bothering them.

"Master, welcome home"

"Yard, if you're home, show your face first."

Tia seemed eager for my return, and I can see she's happy now, too, with her usually sober expression. Natalia has a strong tone, too, but my return seemed pleasant and my mouth was a little broken.

I also met with a lot of things I wanted to talk about because it had been a long time, but I was curious about what I had told Tia before I went out, so I asked her about the bishop first.

"That bishop was behaving very carefully, but he finally grabbed the back. There's no direct connection, but apparently it has something to do with Prince Rand."

"The second prince?

I do think he was the only prince born from the side room, and he was about the same age as Sophie. I'm not very impressed, so I don't know the details.

"Why would working with a second prince lead to attacking me?

"Aren't you afraid that the right to inherit the throne will fall?

Listen to Tia and reflect on her failure to come up with the possibility. Sure, Sophie and I may be the ones having the most trouble getting married.

The right to inherit the throne of this country is to be given in turn by the men in the regular room, followed by the children of the children in the regular room, that is, the grandchildren in the regular room. Side chamber children are the last in order of inheritance, so if Sophie and I had a boy, the child would be second in order of inheritance now.

Now Rand has a high inheritance ranking next to Robert, but unlike Robert, the first child in the regular room, his ranking is in a pretty dangerous state.

"I see. Speaking of which, you did."

"What is more, the Savere family, the home of the mother of the Second Prince, Lady Arshra, is also a lineage that has produced the cardinals and bishops of the Church for generations. The prince must also have considerable influence over the Church. It just didn't have a direct relationship with Bishop Filpot, so it took me a while to get there"

But now the prince is the enemy. Clearly, he's a more troublesome opponent than the Duke. After all, it wasn't a question of getting rid of that bishop and ending it.

"Do you have any good hands?

"I was wondering what it would be impossible to try to do with the royalty from the front... there shouldn't be any direct knowledge, so I think you'd be hit first even trying to prove your connection with the bishop. Doesn't your husband have to put his hands down directly?

"You have no choice. Let's go to the prince before something happens."

He's usually in the castle, too, so you'll find him soon. Let's move to let him pull his hand from this one, even tonight.

Seeing me finish talking to Tia, Fairis approached this one. By its side Natalia seems free. She's been attacked once, but she doesn't seem very interested in this case.

"Dear Yard, I think it's time for me to go back to the house"

"Well, it was only a short while ago that I decided to marry Princess Sophia. I think it'll still take some time for the suspicion to clear up, but isn't it dangerous?

"I can't go sweet on Master Yard's favor forever. Because I don't want to be a foot wrapper any more, and even if I'm ever in trouble at a married man's house, there might be another rumor."

As for this one, it's more likely that Fairis will get caught and do something about it, but I'm not going to stop because what she says is also true. The mastermind is broken, and it's time for this to end.

"Well, let me know if anything happens again. Give me a hand if you can."

"Yeah, thanks for taking care of me for a long time. Thank you very much."

I told Tia to send her, and I dropped them off to leave. Natalia, who hadn't spoken at all since earlier, came closer to us at the same time as they were gone.

"Yard, I've missed you for a long time."

"I'm sorry. The battle itself ended quickly, but it took a long time to take over."

She's hugging me and stroking her body around, as if to get back the minute I haven't seen her for a long time. It's obvious you're inviting me, but now I want to take a bath more than that.

I gently peel her off and mouth her as she looks unhappy. I tangled my tongue for a while and slowly let go of my mouth.

"Now I treat you with this. See you later."

"... Okay, because it's absolute. You'll be fine tonight, won't you?

"I had a fiancée, too. I'm holding off on getting married first, but I can't get other women pregnant..."

"Hmm? If you were pregnant, you'd think you were already there, right?

"... wait, what did you just say?

"So you think I'm pregnant already, huh?

"It is true that I was not contraceptive then, but I hear that the fertilization rate of elves is lower than that of humans. And yet how do you know that?

"Because you used that ecstasy. It's not just an ecstasy, it also helps to increase the fertilization rate for elves that are difficult to conceive. I've never heard you didn't get pregnant with it."

"Why did you use such a thing..."

I just hope you don't increase it any more, even though there are overlapping troubles. Stress is making my stomach ache to tighten.

You wouldn't normally think it even had that effect on that ecstasy. If what she's saying is true, chances are I've already got her pregnant.

Is it Lily at last, or is it possible that he's pregnant too? It's not the same reason she gets pregnant as a normal woman, so we'll have to look into it later.

"How long does an elf take to have a baby?

About a year.

This has been a hassle. I'll have to be honest with Sophie for now. The fact that nobles make children is not the same as that of civilians. Whatever you say, there could be a disturbance.

I can't even see it, especially if I was born before Sophie's. It is normal for Sophie's children to become the next generation's masters, but there is a good chance that other nobles will flock together without worrying about that.

"Is it possible that it hasn't been done?

"You think so?

"... no. If that's true, that's not true."

I packed this in full. Later, with Sophie's permission, we'll have to put him in as a concubine or sideroom after a while. There are no such things as bastards.

I feel the illusion that thoughts are embedded in the mud. Let's just focus on her later and now on the bishop and prince thing. I have to go take a bath first to do that.

With confused thoughts, I took Natalia to bathe for some reason. She also seemed to like the bath and was in it for a long time until she could turn it back up. I also lost consciousness by mistake of the limits, so we were both falling upside down until the maid who came to take a bath discovered me.

We wait until night as we seal our memories of the ugliness in the bath, then we transfer to the castle and head to Prince Rand's room. He's in the castle because he asked the soldiers at the gate to be sure.

There was a soldier on guard in front of the room. Use the illusion (Days) to make it into a state of illusion and enter the gap.

There is one young man in the room with the same blonde hair as Robert or Sophie, but unlike the other three. I've seen him a few times between glances, so I know he's Prince Rand.

There was only one guy, so I put up a soundproofing junction (soundproofing) before they screamed. He was surprised by the sudden intruder, opening and closing his mouth. Seeing you do that, you just look like an idiot.

"Excuse me late at night. I've come to see you..."

"... Huh! You, Werner! It's disrespectful of you to go into a royal room on your own!

If I thought I'd finally get a mouthful of it, the first voice didn't matter. I'm not talking about disrespect or anything, but what I'm going to do now is not talk about disrespect.

"You don't seem in a very good mood. Then let me just get right to it. Tell the bishop to draw his hand from me and Fairis now"

You know, I don't know what you're talking about.

Obviously upset by my words. Returns it with a mouthful. I wouldn't even tell you to be a poker face, but you'd better learn to manipulate your attitude a little bit. Don't make me cry when I think this is the same royalty as Sophie.

"If you don't know, that's fine. Well, that's a different story, but look at this chair first."

"Hmm? Say what the chair is..."

Grab the nearest chair and activate Degraded Self-Destruction (Minor Disinty Grate). Nothing changed for a while, but suddenly the chair was dispersed in pieces. Having seen the sight, Rand was flabbergasted to see fragments of the chair that had fallen apart, not understanding what had happened.

Approaching a guy full of gaps, slapping him on the shoulder. The guy who returned to me with that feeling hurried away from me and turned a frightening gaze.

"Yes, what the hell did you do!

"This is a degraded self-destruct (minor disintimate) technique, the effect is to break the object apart as you can see. I'm not cutting it off, so it doesn't matter if I wear armor. Activation conditions must be touching the object. Neither do I know when the effects will appear. So far, you know what I mean?

"Wow, you hung that magic on me! Untie it! Untie it!

Of course I didn't use the technique on him. Instead, the previous procedure cannot be performed without touching the subject directly, so the activation condition cannot be met where the shoulder is tapped over the clothes.

Well, I'm not going to teach him that much. If you don't tell me, I will take it personally and make various concessions here in exchange for solving the ritual.

"Well, how about you just follow what I say once?

"Oh, that's fine! Come on, untie me! I don't want to die yet!

"Well, I did promise."

Get close to him again, slap him on the shoulder and whine the right words. He doesn't know what I'm doing, so he's still shuddering in fear that he might die.

I've solved the ritual.

"Oh well... thank goodness..."

"Then it's a promise, you'll follow me"

"... oh, that would be good. What the hell are you gonna ask me to do?

"What, it's not hard. As I said earlier, don't try to get involved with me or Fairis any more. That's all."

"Wow, okay. But you're the only one I asked to be heretical. It was Fairis or I don't know anything about her"

"You just have to shut up and do what I say. Don't slap the extra mouth."

"Shh, sorry, forgive me..."

I felt some good watching him apologize, but I can't trust him to just finish this.

Take out the paper and write down this promise. Write my name down on the bottom part and give it to him.

"Write your name on it. I don't care what the letters are."

He snorted and took the pen I gave him and wrote down his name. Receive the finished paper and activate the pledge (aus). Now when he breaks the promise written on this piece of paper, the punishment determined by the weight of the promise comes down to him. By the way, this punishment is purification, which means you're on fire.

"All right, if you break the promise you made earlier, you will burn your whole body to death in flames at that moment. Be careful what you say and do."

"Oh......"

This won't involve this guy any more. When I paper him, I faint him with fear (fiir) and extract memories of me here, other than what I promised earlier in memory extraction (extra memory).

Exit the room through the side of the soldiers still in a state of illusion. I'm going to go as far as to make my appearance invisible to the soldiers, and then I'm going to disarm you. The soldiers, not knowing what had happened, looked around for a moment.

I left the castle and came back to the mansion. As usual, the bishop seems to be trying to catch me, and I see a shadow in front of the mansion. The bishop will still not know that I am engaged to Sophie. But that's a matter that can be resolved tomorrow and the day after.

This should settle this case, but I haven't avenged the bishop yet. It's hard to say that what you did when you helped Fairis was very vengeful. Considering that you treated people heretically and used Natalia to try to intimidate me, I'd like to wipe them out socially if I could.

If so, is the broken gate still reasonable? I'd rather not work directly if I could, but what should I do?

Tia came as she went back to the basement and contemplated a way to fall into the fill pot. He has a troubled look on his face. Is there another problem?

"Master, I'm talking about the elf you sent me before..."

"Oh, that one? What's wrong with you?

"No, I take care of you for now, but if you don't need it, I think it's better to dispose of it without making strange rumors"

Well, I did think I could use it for research when I caught him, but now it's only negative because I suspect he just has it. Maybe I should just kill him.

When I thought so, I flashed a good idea. Could that be used to rub innocent sins against bishops?

If that's the case, we'll get Fairis to help us, too. I quickly sent Fairis a message and told him a favor. Fairis seemed surprised by the sudden story, but this one seemed to do me a favor.

(I don't mind that, but is the bishop really doing that?

(Oh, this is solid information. I want to move before the bishop hits his hand, so sorry but hurry up and tell him)

(Ok)

Turning off my thoughts with Fairis, this one also went to see how the dark elves were trapped in the basement of the mansion in preparation.
