A second visit, Cyrus managed to accept even as he exposed the tannic surface.

But there was no such thing as that ex-girlfriend knight in the invited reception room. When asked, she died about a year and a half ago.

There was no more strained air in the room in the absence of the ex-girlfriend knight.

I still want to welcome her as my wife. But putting aside a long engagement period would only expose her to the malice of the lowlifes for the moment. So marriage wants to be as soon as possible —— yes. When Crusade told him, Cyrus exposed his confusion.

"I don't know why Your Excellency is so obsessed with my daughter. She's cute as a parent, but she's a temperamental child who's not for the aristocratic wife.... No, I know I can't say that forever"

"As I said before, I prefer her brightness above all else. Every time I meet her, I —— it's my problem, I forget all the backwards feelings. I've spent many years with her, Lord Cyrus must know better."

With some embarrassment, Crusade answered honestly. It was not a mundane situation.

"I'm sorry I tried to get into this situation. I think the concerns and thoughts of your deceased alma mater are the best.... but still. Even if I buy your anger, I want to welcome her as my wife."

To an enthusiastic word without lies, Cyrus loosens his expression somewhat. Still, he never sent a clear reply.

I came to this place with the intention of at least crushing it. If Cyrus doesn't approve, let's talk directly with him.

That's what I thought. Crusade looked at the door to the reception room.

"... she's here today?

"No, I'm not."

When Crusade was surprised by the response, Cyrus shook his head in a panic, apparently guessing it.

"I'm not trying to make you see me. I was on my way to see my sister, and I think she'll be back in about five days."

……

I visited Baltic territory at my leisure for a few days, but five days was an impossible number of days for a boulder.

Crusade is never free. I was busy today and was forced to go to the land of this neighborhood at my convenience.

Waiting for Katrea here for the 5th could not be said to be realistic, nor would it be realistic to travel back and forth between the castle and the Baltic mansion for her.

How can you be so untimely with her on a determined arrow tip?

There is no time. Think of something. Think of something.

That's what I thought, and Cyrus abruptly uttered the word.

"... that kid is a good kid with no back table. There is a sense of justice and a tenderness to caring for others. And I'm sturdy and basically not sick.

But it's out of my hands anyway. Due to the nature (s) of your body moving before you think about it, you make a lot of noise, and even if you try to catch it, oddly enough, it sticks and escapes quickly. I could run around the mansion and make a terrible noise. "

To begin with, I wondered if he had even started talking about the dog he suddenly owns, and Crusade, who was about to twist his neck, stretched his spine in haste. When I heard it carefully, it was about Cyrus' daughter.

"When my parents were once alive, my castle was always full of people, and it was a very busy one. I'd be happy if she brought some of the same vibrancy to the castle as she did at the time"

Poor mouth, desperate to return the word.

Serenia insisted that even if her family opposed her, she would grab her, and that she was radical, but as for Crusade, she wanted to welcome Caterea after being blessed by the Baltic people.

Besides, she can't be happier with a forceful take away, so loved by her family and her people.

"I need that hubris of hers. That's why I abandoned my shame and came to ask you again.... Lord Cyrus. Please forgive me for marrying her."

……

For a while, the glances of Crusade and Cyrus mixed and the time continued when we couldn't even breathe with each other.

Tiny and tight air burns the skin.

... but eventually Cyrus slowly dropped his wider shoulder and took one deep breath.

The air, which should have been pressing, loosened at that moment.

"Your Excellency will also be very busy. You don't have to wait for your daughter. Please go home."

"Lord Cyrus, I am"

"I'll tell my daughter from me. Still, if Katrea says she wants to marry you under Her Excellency... I see the consequences of what happens if we talk...

… please, thank you. "

That being said, Cyrus folded his gigantic body cramped and bowed his head.

Crusade didn't know why he had changed his mind for two years.

But Cyrus' word is that if only Cattleya had the will to marry, she would admit it.

When Crusade tried to open his mouth with emotion, he said, "Except," and a low voice sounded like a nail.

"Except to talk about if you say you don't like your daughter. In that case, I want you to finish this story."

"… of course, I understand"

Hold back the feelings that float, and nod. I haven't gotten her approval yet. You shouldn't be on track.

Still, for the first time in a long time, Cyrus, staring at him, shrugged.

"The day I go to the afterlife is depressing."
