Price of Management

Rick snaps his fingers, too.

“That's it! You're close with the king, aren't you? If you ask His Majesty to be a witness, it's okay for you to be in one room, right? ”

Oh, I see.

When King Eric bears witness to the marriage, it becomes official internationally.

“May I ask His Majesty such a small favor? It will become the lungs of the man who has failed to build. ”

The loyal royal father grumbled.

What do you think? I've been running so hard for that man, King Erik. You have to do this.

“Then I'll send you a letter right away. Brother Arthur, I'd like to ask you for the fastest delivery. ”

“Yes, it's tactile, so I'll give the rider two bottles of Healing Potions to run day and night. ”

“Thank you!”

I got a quill, ink and paper and wrote a letter.

He asked you to be a witness explaining both the Orion's intentions and his actions. Well, in summary, I'm married. You don't want to lose a talent like me to the Orions, do you? ’.

Then the letter departed for Ledon.

Ten days after that, King Erik replies. It was written by King Erik himself.

As you are free, quietly raise a wedding among the Koont family members. And join your wives at the court meeting starting on January 2, next year at 1: 00 am.

Jim will take care of the rest.

p.S. The time has come for you to keep your promise to me.

Promise? Aha.

King Erik asked me to join him as royal steward, and gave me the rest of the year to rest.

As the year is almost over, it is time for you to join the Kingdom of Leaden.

The good times are over. You look like you're gonna be working your ass off in the royal family, jumping on dog feet.

Huh? No.

But I have a solid background as King Erik and Earl Duron, so I can live with myself. Should I become a corrupt official who knows how to stop corruption? Who's gonna stop me? Ah-ha-ha.

Anyway, according to King Erik's letter, I decided that the wedding would be a fitting reunion for the family of the Kunts. Julia and cis agreed.

“Okay, I've been pushed around a lot, so I wanted to get rid of the wedding quickly. It doesn't matter if you just put your name on the genealogy. But he's a bastard, so he can't be named in the Kunt genealogy, right? So the process is much simpler. ”

“ ……. ”

Yeah, I'm glad you approve...

But are you more important to work than marriage? Where's the nerve to give up your marriage if you don't marry me? What was romantic not long ago?! Why did I fly all the way to Earl Lindell to buy a ring?

“…… a quiet wedding. Lots of food.”

“Yes, I will make you eat a lot of delicious things. Geez, my little cutie. ”

I instinctively embraced Sis as if I were treating spirits and splattered. Sis is blushing. Well, what do you think? She's my wife now. Uheeheehee.

But seeing this, Julia lights her eyes again and tackles her.

“Wait! Why do you look so fat when I say it, and only Sissy looks so pretty?!" ”

Why are you complaining again? How much more can I scratch you in the future?

“Sis is cute! ”

“What is it?! Does that mean I'm not cute? ”

“You're just a walker holic! Not cute at all! Where did you throw away the romantic girl's heart when I proposed? Did you sell it?”

“Wow, we just need to check each other's minds. I don't need a wedding to be seen. ”

At that, I tilted my head.

“Honey, did you eat something wrong? You're the happier you are. Of course I want a big wedding. I was nervous because I thought it would be hard to convince. ”

“I told you! ”

Julia stammers, her face flushed red.

“If you can be the wife of the Lord, it doesn't matter. ”

Ugh. Are you crazy? Julia looks cute.

“Oh, yeah? Sorry... ”

“Then I want to be cute, too. ”

“…… what can I do for you? ”

“I want you to do the same thing you did to Sis! ”

... You're right. Scary kid.

I held Julia in my arms with a trembling expression.

“Well, yeah. Phew... My ears, cutie... ”

“Uhuhuhuhu.”

I bluffed, reluctantly, as I did with cis. Julia was satisfied with the smile on her face. Get used to it. She's my wife, too.

So we quietly had a wedding in the banquet hall of the house.

The circumcision was to call a wise and friendly person from a nearby aristocrat, so that the person who scored was his father, Hudini.

Haven't you ever been asked to perform a ritual before? The songwriter came to our territory with a very satisfied face.

Ordinary baptisms can be played by adults with good intentions.

It was natural to rejoice that it became a ritual, since it was a complex called the Three Families who bought their identity for money because of the history of a short family that was originally from a merchant.

Well, I didn't have an adult in my family to say this, and I couldn't find any insight into my father, so I had to.

Marquis Duron is perfect for the occasion, but we can't ask an old man to come all the way here...

Anyway, I liked the ritual of Bird of Hoodini. I told him about how I worried a lot when I was humiliated, and how a wonderful necromancer who cared a lot.

After the process of handing out rings, kissing, and swearing love, the three of us became married.

Father at the banquet hall, Arthur, Rick, and Leyra and Elene. Few Kunt family members applauded and congratulated me. I really liked the intimate and peaceful atmosphere.

The day after the wedding, we prepared a big meal and had dinner together. Half of them seemed to have been eaten by cis. Ah-ha-ha.

And the next day.

It was almost the end of December, so I decided to leave for Lerdon.

“Let's go on a honeymoon together. I'll buy you anything you want! Julia, what do you want? ”

“I'd like to acquire a good merchant. ”

“…… Yes, I see. ”

Silly child. You won't have to worry about managing my family's finances in the future.

“What about cis?"

“…… grimoire. 4 circles. ”

“Oh, you said you've mastered all three circles, right? ”

Nod sheath.

“But... you don't want jewelry or clothes or anything more girly, do you? ”

“... Nothing. ”

“I don't really need it. Oh, but I think I'll have to buy a fancy dress and jewelry to attend the court meeting together. ”

“I see. All right, let's go shopping early. Sweep up the good stuff. ”

“If the price goes up after sniffing around, it'll be okay to sell it for profit. ”

“…… Will you keep saying things like that without dreams or hope? ”

“Heeheehee.”

“Then let's go. We should be there in three days with plenty. ”

“How can it only take three days to get to King Leaden? ”

“You can fly. ”

I summoned Noonum and built a small earthhouse about four meters in diameter.

“Let's go inside. ”

As we went into the earthhouse, the whole earthhouse came to me in the air.

We took a relaxing break from the earthhouse and began our journey to Leaden Castle.

One day, I thought I'd take Julia and Sis on a picnic in the sky, and I never thought this would happen. It's really overwhelming.

“Wow, that's fast. ”

“Right?"

“It feels so good to be out in the sky. People all look like ants. It feels like everyone on the ground is beneath my feet! I love it!”

“ ……. ”

“Hehe. I'm joking, shorty. ”

By the way, you still call me shorty?

“Son."

“Yes, shorty. ”

“Why do you still call me Shortie? ”

“…… Yes?! ”

Suddenly, Julia's in a big panic.

“You got married and became officially married, and now you have a nickname for me. ”

“I don't know. ”

Just as Julia said she was coming, Julia is out of her wits.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. What should I call you, Sis? ”

“Honey.”

“Phew, good job. My sweet wife. ”

I stroked his head.

Then I glanced back at Julia. When she caught my eye, Julia flinched.

“See? Follow me.”

“Well, that's ……. ”

“Ugh!”

“Profit! You can do it! Th-that's it, th-that's it... ”

“Never mind. What do I expect from you? ”

“Tsk! It's still awkward. ”
