"Wait. I wasn't sure what was going on. How did you end up with a suitor duel?
Lecan pinched his mouth.
"I mean, Princess Jerez demanded a matrimonial duel, and I tried to use the flow of the moment to get into trouble with the matrimonial duel, too."
"Hmm? I don't know what kind of warrior they have, and I don't know what kind of equipment they have, just because how much zinger can represent them. Judgment is not even fair. Looks like he's crossing a dangerous bridge."
"Lecan. You're worried about me. Thanks. Glad to hear it."
"Wouldn't you have done something else?
"In the way I took it around, I risk calling the other suspicious. The Wazlov family has a burden. I just wanted to avoid the kind of accomplishment that would get me poked through there. In that regard, I decided that a matrimonial duel was an extremely preferred method for them."
"So that duel is over? What happened to the battle?
"It hasn't happened yet. Lord Pentalus and Lord Solsgear have business to take the boat to the Kingdom of Dresta."
"Ho."
"Going back to the kingdom of Zaka will be the second half of the sixth moon, which means we are going to meet in the king's capital on the thirtieth day of the seventh moon."
Since today is the seventh day of the seventh month, it is possible to reach the thirtieth day of the king's capital. However, we must leave within a couple of days.
It's not my turn, is it?
"But, Lecan. I couldn't represent Zinger."
"What?"
"The rewriting of the family lineage has not yet taken place. So I'm not from the Wazlov family. No, he's definitely a blood drawer for the Wazlov family, but he's stronger in his position as heir to the Goncourt family. That's why I belong to the Goncourt family."
"It won't. I don't know, but from what I'm talking about right now, if you make an offer with a good basis, you can always rewrite that pedigree or something. If the Wazlov family makes a strong offer, can't the Chancellery ignore it?
"Of course I can't ignore it. There will always be a rewrite. But thank you. That's no match for a matrimonial duel. The Chancellor is oddly strong. Maybe the Forts are holding back. Maybe the Indores are cooperating."
"So you can't rewrite phylogenetics and stuff?
"If I bow my head to the Chancellor or the Pentalus and plead, maybe I can. But that means you owe me money. It's not a good idea."
"Wait. If you think about it, it's okay if you belong to the Goncourt family. Because Zinger is your knight."
"It's not like that, Lecan. Zinger is now the head knight of the Wazlov family."
"Oh, did I? Then once you get fired from the Wazlov family, you can be the knight of the Goncourt family."
"It's just like renting a knight from another house."
"That's a hassle. Yeah? But if I do, I won't be able to represent you."
"I'm sorry, but you decided to be my fiancée"
"What?"
"I don't know the extent to which they're investigating the circumstances in Voca or my surroundings. That's why I don't lie. But the fact that you and I were close is obvious. No one can prove that he was lying that he was promising to marry. If only you would agree, it would be a fact now, and a little retracement of the engagement date wouldn't bother anyone."
Rekan looked at Edda.
"Edda. What do you think?
"I was wondering if you could get me engaged"
"Hmm?"
"Only Lecan can save Mr. Norma. I'm begging you. Besides, I'm already very persistent in my proposal to Norma."
"Is that Pentalus or something persistent?
"It's not, it's the nobles of the town of Voca. Plus, there's now an engagement offer from a nearby town. In response, Mr. Norma can barely afford to write."
"Yeah. If it's good for you, it's okay."
"They say if you marry Mr. Norma, Lekan will be a nobleman, too, and nobility can have many wives, so you'll be fine."
"What's all right with you?
"Eh heh."
"Hmm. Well, I don't care about that, but the problem is where the duel takes place. How about if it's not Wang Du?"
"It's the Marquis' friendship. It was to be done at the Royal Palace's Nanbu Field. I wonder why Lekan hates the king's capital so much."
Lecan honestly told the story. All Zinger or Findin is present, but Norma thought it wouldn't matter if he was a man he trusted, explaining that Yacklebend was strongly interested in his equipment, which is a fallen person, and possibly his abilities, and that if he met Yacklebend, he would be expected to be just sorry. However, it was not clear what kind of equipment I had, and in time, what kind of equipment Yacklebend was interested in.
"Hmm."
Norma thought about it for a while. Norma does not fully understand the contents of Lecan's thinking at this time. But I understood that Lekan was sincerely reluctant to go to the king's capital.
"Let's get the duel place changed"
"Can you do that"
"There is no doubt that the Chancellor is resorting to cowardly means in this matter. There is no hope of a fair duel in the Nanbu Field of Wang Du under the control of the Prime Minister. At least I can't pluck my distrust. Even if my deputy loses the duel, he cannot be wholeheartedly convinced to marry me. Yes, I write to Lord Pentalus."
"Well, I see"
"Besides, the Chancellor is not on the side of the Forts or the Indores. I don't know what kind of hand you're going to use to get results in favor of the royal family. The Chancellor has no credibility whatsoever in this matter. There is also the possibility of selling favors to the Wazlov family by carrying things in my favor. If they say so, they could agree to change the place of the duel"
"It would help if you did that"
"Lecan."
"Yeah?"
"If it wasn't even Wang Du, you'd be in a duel."
"Oh, sure."
"As my fiancée"
"I don't care about that, but do they approve of you representing your fiancée?
"That's taking confirmation. As long as my affiliation is with the Goncourt family, my fiancé, Adventurer Lekan, will represent me. They're representing a man named Visker Cohen, the captain of the cut-in."
"That's very handy."
"The place will be left to the other person. At least not in a town with a strong Wazlov or Reinzatz influence. They have to choose a town with a strong influence in their honor. We don't know what's going to happen there."
"Anywhere, as long as it's not Wang Du"
"Yeah. Okay, Lecan. I'll do my best."
"Please."
I left Voca two days later and was supposed to head to Mashajane. Because even if we go ahead with the negotiations, it's too far away in voca.
