Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!!

"Hmm, I wonder where to start..."

I left Fried's room and left the royal settlement.

All the soldiers around here remember my face. Walking fluffy doesn't blame you the earliest. As I silently bowed my head and passed through the soldiers dropping me off, I was on a relaxing walk.

- Cain has been traveling for about a week.

I've been pulling alone in my room for a long time, so I asked Fried to give me permission to go for a walk if it was just in Fafnir Castle.

As I've been told before, if anything happens in the castle, Fried rushes right to me. So I didn't hesitate to look around.

It was a little funny to see different women and close guards twice as if they were surprised at Wang Hua in the chest.

Seeing my Wang Hua, which has changed dramatically, I was actually just a little worried about what people who don't know the truth about Wang Hua would think, but it seemed worrying.

"They originally planned to make it that size, huh? It's pretty hard to put in a large tattoo at a time, so think about the burden on your queen and divide it into two parts..."

"Heh. Wang Hua is going to be a lot bigger this time."

"Because Your Highness loves Your Ladyship very much. I want to carve as big as possible and appeal to even my own... or something"

"Uh... it seems possible. Your Highness, I love your Ladyship. Well, it was pretty small before. Your Highness is better now, isn't it?"

"Right. Your Highness seems happy, and it's not okay."

He was convinced on his own like this and spread it as a fact. What a way to spread rumors.

But I laughed a little when I knew they thought the bigger one seemed to be Fried.

Relax and walk away observing the area.

The general area of Fafnir Castle is quite large. It's obvious because it's a royal neighborhood and other brackets, but I didn't put it in all places because it's a general area.

For example, Fried or the king's office. These are not in the royal settlement, but they are nevertheless in the depths of the royal castle, and the people entering are checked quite strictly.

The same is true of the headquarters of the Sorcery Division and the Kingsguard Knights, where anyone can easily enter and where they are not. Depending on their identities and roles, they each decide how far to put them in.

What I'm walking in is around and behind such a general area. I can't get through without a certain degree of identity or position. I have Wang Hua and he is already royally certified so I can go in anywhere I want now, otherwise he should be expelled immediately. Even the Duke's Lady can't come without special permission.

Most of the people who can walk around here know about me, so I'm very thankful that they don't make a scene and just bow their heads and say hello.

"Information gathering. Gathering information…"

Tip given to Mr. Derris.

I've been thinking and going on about this ever since.

According to her story, apparently I've only been caught on one side of things.

Looks like we need to do more research to find out the truth about my mother-in-law.

Then I thought. I can't leave the castle right now. I was wondering if you could ask me in the castle.

But it doesn't work that way. I was almost stuck at the beginning of something very troubling. 'Cause I don't know where to get the key information from.

And maybe what to say and ask.

Or what to do in a situation where you don't even know what information you want in the first place?

"Hmm. Didn't you pack this from the beginning?

I guess I can trace it from there if I even find it at the thread, but I can't find that thread first.

Thinking I was in trouble, I went downstairs to the ground floor and went straight out of the building. There's a garden with few people nearby, and I thought I'd get some outside air to think about it. And then walking, a bewildered voice can be hung from behind.

"Liddy?"

"Hmm?"

Looking back at the voice I was used to hearing, a dark blue robe appeared in my eyes. I immediately realized who it was and I grinned.

"Will. Long time no see"

It was Will, the head of the Sorcery Division and my childhood friend, who had spoken out.

"Ah...... oh. Why are you here? You got some errands for the sorcery division?

"Hmm? Nothing..."

Will, whom I hadn't seen in a long time, had huge baggage in his hand. I have a lot like a thin file.

Speaking of which, going straight from where I am, it wasn't just the garden, it was also the eastern tower where the headquarters of the Magic Division were located. That's why it's less popular.

Could I even go back to my own office, which is in the sorcery division now?

"I don't have a purpose. Where's Will? Where's he going back to the sorcery division?

"Oh."

"Yeah. Awesome luggage. I'm free, and you want me to have a little?

I said with total kindness, Will shook his neck sideways with tremendous momentum.

"Yes, no... it's okay!

"Uh... but"

"No problem!

"Oh, yeah?

Pushed by Will's momentum, he nodded as he blinked. Relaxed Will gave the applause a bulky drop of the bundle of files he had.

"Ugh...... wow!?"

"Already, Will... we need to be careful... ah"

Files scattered all over the place. When I bowed my torso to pick it up, I stumbled across the contents of some of those files.

……

What was painted inside was a picture of a woman of her age. Picture on the left. Fishing papers are written on the right.

...... yeah. This is definitely... for the matchmaking.

You must have noticed that I saw it. When I woke up, Will was tight.

Is it awkward, my eyes are the only ones swimming around?

I realised it but wondered if it would go through like this, and I asked to be honest.

"Um... Will, are you getting married?

Come to think of it, Will is also twenty-three years old. Same age as my brother. It's not weird being married.

Given that it's a trace of the Duke's house, it should be okay to have one of his fiancées.

But he still has no fiancée, not even a lover.

Fried, my lord, will also be married next month. It was no surprise that he, one of the nearest sides, was being recommended to marry at the same time.

If you marry at the same time, the age of that child is often closer. Keeping the next royal friend position at bay from the start is important to the nobles.

Oh, well. Will is finally getting married, too?

Nodding deeply convinced that he was very emotional, Will shook his head beside him desperately for some reason.

"Chi, no! This belongs to Glenn, not mine..."

"Hmm? Glenn's?

"That's right! I don't make matches!

"Oh, yeah."

Damn it, I'm amazed at Will's sword curtain that's biting me. I think it's normal enough to make a pageant, but did I hate being misunderstood so much?

Maybe Will already has a girlfriend or something? Then I'm sorry to say something extra.

"Uh, I'm sorry... I didn't realize. Will has a girlfriend, too? So you didn't want to be misunderstood or anything? Then why don't you introduce me next time?

If you're Will's lover, I'd love to see you. I was purely interested in what kind of woman the childhood familiar had chosen. But Will denied it aloud, too.

"I don't have a girlfriend!

"Uh... Really?

"That's right! So, please, don't make any weird mistakes!

"Ah... yes"

He told me to bite, and I nodded in surprise.

Will picked up the file while he was out of breath. I'll imitate that, too.

Will, who held it all back, coughed up one really casually.

"And anyway... this is for Glenn's pageant. It has nothing to do with me."

"Is Glenn ahead of Will? Yeah, but, well, he's my second son..."

The title is succeeded by Will, the eldest son.

I guess that's why Glenn, his second son, looks for a son-in-law. Then surely it is better to be early.

"Yeah...... but this is all you have, you haven't narrowed down your candidacy yet?

It was a simple question, Will said, frowning.

"There were the most prominent candidates. Looks like we got to the pre-engagement stage. But I don't even know the details... apparently we broke up the other day."

"Breaking? That Glenn?

"Oh."

Glenn is pretty well populated. Sure, there are constant rumors of the night, but as a son-in-law, it should be a good condition.

He is the second son of the Duke of Pegegrini family, and head of the Knights. A lot of people will like it because he is also a tall, refreshing man.

It's too good a property, and it's not strange to have another take on it.

I wonder what the hell happened to him when he broke up like that.

I was curious, but I thought it would be rude to ask too much root digging leaf digging, and decided not to ask any more.

Blade tortoise is not good.

Yeah, one of them snorted, and Will whispered.

"... but I'm glad we broke up for him."

"Huh."

Words while looking away somewhere. Staring at what he was going to say, he distorted his mouth to smile uncommonly and bitterly about how he felt my gaze.

"Glenn has a woman I've been thinking about. So..."

"Yes... what"

Words I never expected.

Will, who doesn't notice me solidifying in surprise, says even more.

"... I think I'll make it these days that I'm really happy to be able to marry a thinker... Glenn has finally given up, so he can accept a match, but I..."

"Huh? Will too...... does anyone like it?

Inquire into Will's side with his eyes narrowed in the cuts.

Because the way I put it now, it was like we were in a brotherly, unrequited love.

Will opened his eyes to the wind that it had gone away for a moment, but he shook his head to deny it immediately.

"Ya... just even if. I don't... I don't have a woman like that.... Forget it, Liddy"

"Uh... but"

"Please..."

I only showed it for a moment, I don't think the burning look was a lie.

Still - because somehow I felt rejected for something other than words telling me not to listen.

"... ok"

"Sorry......"

Aristocratic marriages are often colored by political tactics. That's a well-known fact. Fortunately, I have become a beloved and beloved marriage, but I also understand that it is usually something I do not want.

Like Will and Glenn, it's never uncommon not to be tied to someone you wish for. Especially because he is a noble nobleman.

I just know that, there was nothing more to me than to snort.
