When I called Satti, who was hiding in the grass, I decided to ride the carriage, as Julia recommended.

It rocks with gutter, but still rides better than a horse.

Satti rarely looks inside the carriage.

"This is the carriage, isn't it? I kind of feel like a princess."

Julia, the daughter I helped earlier, asks me with interest.

"Is Mr. Satti new to the carriage?

Satti is puzzled.

She told me to let her through that we were the magicians of Ismas, but a girl named Satti is an honest man from the roots. Not many girls are as bad at lying as she is.

"Uh, that's right -"

Satie manages to delude me, but I block Satie's words.

"My family is an aristocrat of Ismas, but not a very wealthy family. Besides, this girl's been letting her get in the mansion ever since. The world is oblivious."

Julia seemed convinced to explain that.

"Actually, I'm what, too. No, of course, I've ridden the carriage many times, but this is the first time I've ever left the city of Zenobia."

"Really?"

"Yes. Actually, I've been matching up with some of the leading players in the next city."

Julia told the story with a little shame.

"I see you're old, too. Your father must be looking for good luck, too. So, are you likely to get caught up in the fringe?

"No, it didn't wrap up"

Julia responds instantly.

"... that's unfortunate. But shaking Miss Julia is something some men have no aesthetic eye for. I would never say no."

For once, that's what I said as a social decree, but I thought it was definitely a futile story.

Because a girl named Yulia Octave was a beautiful girl without flattery.

Besides, she is the daughter of the Alliance of Trade Unions.

If I were tied to her, I wouldn't have any trouble with the money in the rest of my life.

With that in mind, Julia has asked in a tone like a prankster girl.

"The word now, is it true?

"Yeah, well, if I were in his shoes, I'd talk about it."

She smiles even more when she hears the words.

"Dear Ryke, I can't pass a social dictum or a lie. I mean, what do you say yourself, but I'm an honest man. That's why we didn't even get into this conversation."

"What do you mean?

"I felt so sorry for them that I stepped on their feet at the ball table."

"... it's tough"

This girl looks sophisticated and she's quite a horse.

I had that feeling, but the horse would surprise me even more.

"Dear Ryke, right now, you said, 'Sure,' if I were in his shoes, I'd take the fringe, right?

When she says so, she smiles cheerfully.

I don't think so, but for once, I'll snort.

"... if only I were in his shoes."

"Then Dear Ryke, when it comes to Zenobia, can I tell my parents that I want to be engaged to Ryke?

…………

I have no choice but to answer by silence.

Satti seems distracted, too.

That's right, because you apply to someone you might not know as the bone of any horse you just met.

It would be normal to doubt this daughter's common sense.

Satti protests modestly.

"Yu, Dear Julia, I think it's strange that you suddenly offer to marry someone you just met"

Julia's answer to that was clear and concise.

"Do you have the right time for a maiden to fall in love? 1 minute? 1 hour? 1 day? Or is it a month? Anyway, I got suspicious of Lady Ryke. If Ryke agrees, I'll change into a bridesmaid costume right now."

…………

I get unintentionally silent, but her eyes were serious.

If I kept snorting like this, a week later I was about to have a ceremony in church.

No matter, you can't snort.

I'm not here looking for a bride.

I came here to meet with the Zenobian allies and make a treaty.

However, that doesn't make it easy to shake your head sideways.

It's not a good idea to undermine her mood here.

I decided to act like a Japanese.

The point is, I decided to cloud my tea.

"I appreciate that offer, but let's get to know each other a little more before we do. Fortunately, we still have plenty of time. When it comes to Zenobia, will you show me around the city?

She seemed convinced when she heard the words.

"Right. I do still have time. In order for Zenobia to stay for at least a month, Lady Ryke needs to go home and report her marriage, and it will take a month for her to prepare a bridesmaid costume. It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing, so we need to make the best of it. It will take at least three months to make it."

It's just that her delusions go on everywhere.

On the road to Zenobia, they talked extensively about honeymoons, about new homes, and even the number of children at the end.

Me and Satti took her one-sided vision to the city of Zenobia instead of BGM.
