"Uh."

"What!?

"Hmm."

"Yep."

"Oh, my God."

I made a report as soon as I got back to the mansion. I told her that I couldn't refuse to marry Empress Ricolette, and that I had no choice but to come to my belly. Pallis, Mairias, Geneha, Illimo, Gon, each reacting differently, although for each other, is a bit funny.

"First of all, tell Empress Ricolette the secret of this hall."

"Um, basically Pallis and Irimo, Geneha make it look human, so there's a choice to keep quiet, though."

"Well, when building Ricolette's hall, the craftsmen should come, and it's good not to break the bond for a while."

"I'll see how it goes and we'll talk about it. If you're going to be rejected, I'll think about it then."

"And tomorrow, I'm busy going to Miyagi's Cucumber."

"They have a feast tomorrow to admit my raid. So it's my wedding announcement to the Crown Princess."

"So you don't want lunch and dinner tomorrow, do you?

"Right. The truth is Pallis' meal tastes better. Yeah, it's probably gonna be late at night, and you need to keep your doors tight and go to sleep. Melius, go back to sleep."

"I'm in awe. Master..."

Melius looks kind of sad. Do you think Pallis is going to be, as usual for you? Incidentally, Geneha is the opposite of the blessing mode, Irimo is an indescribable reaction because he does not have a good impression on royal officials.

The next morning, after breakfast at Pallis, everyone sends me off to Miyagi Cucumber. As soon as I arrive, they let me through to the other room and make me change. Medal the imperial-style courtesy. This is really the crook, and it's decided where, what, and in what order to put it. While doing that, a brief meeting. They took more time than I expected, and I missed lunch because of it.

When they are ready, they are immediately taken out of the room and walked inside the maze-like Miyagi "Cucumber". And when the soldier is guided to the door where he guards, the door opens as if he was waiting for me. There were many gentlemen and ladies in line there dressed.

I'll lead the way in that while I lead the way. And when he stood before the throne, as if he had waited for this as well, His Highness Heat, His Highness Weilas, and a cabinet headed by His Highness the Chancellor showed up. His Majesty the Emperor is falling apart, so the throne just remains vacant.

"Welcome, Lord Birtherm Darke Linos."

His Excellency the Prime Minister speaks up.

"Ha ha."

I bow my head lightly.

"I am truly sorry for this time. There is no word of remorse that the kingdom of Juka will collapse, even though your Highness was adopted by the House of Birtham and Kuku was in his capacity as marquis. Now, after a long journey to reach the empire safely, and even so, your achievements in crushing the catastrophe brought upon the kingdom of Juka struck our hearts greatly. Therefore, as Lord Birtham has stated since then, the Marquis of the House of Birtham is hereby authorized, with His Majesty's profound consideration, to attack the Marquis of the House of Birtham."

"Ha ha, thank you Mixed"

"After this, relax within the Empire."

"Now, from the rest, there is one in the Bertham climate, a wishing ritual. Marquis wants me to marry my sister Ricolette."

The perimeter squeaks. My throat dries to a crisp. I can see something cold on my back or falling off. I never wanted to.

"Thank you for your time. We're happy to take it."

Oh - cheers from the surrounding nobles.

"Well done. You told me. Our empire and the kingdom of Juka have been engaged for a long time and are now in a state of truce. Since the earlier catastrophe, there has been a great deal of confusion in the kingdom, but harmony with the Juka kingdom has been the grief of the empire. It is with sincere congratulations that this time my sister was able to marry and pass through friendship into the most prestigious house known as both wheels of King Juka's kingdom. Marquis, I thank you very much for this Headata Shure Heat."

"When it comes to the new Marquis Bartham's stay in the Empire, this Headata sur Vaillas will be the hindsight. Marquis, if there is any inconvenience, what is it?"

"Thank you very much."

"Fortunately, here, the main men of the empire are gathered. Let's all celebrate! Get Ricolette!

After a while, the beautifully dressed Princess Ricolette enters the room. It is a breathtaking beauty, wrapped in a pure white dress.

"It's Ricolette. Thank you for your patience"

Say hello to me for what you've done. That's right, the First Empress is not a dat. There the Chancellor opens his mouth.

"To celebrate the wedding of the two of you, His Majesty tells Lord Birtham that he will be awarded the title of Marquis Emeritus of the Empire."

"Ha ha, thank you very much"

"Everyone, please do me a favor about these two from the rest!

Everyone who was there drips his neck. And then the feast of cheer began, but me and Ricolette stayed in line and followed the scene.

"What the hell is that? That farce. I couldn't stop sweating."

"I have no choice. I am still the First Princess. Because it's a marriage, you can't avoid seeing the nobles."

It's a pain in the ass.

"Though you are also an honorary Marquis, you have become part of the Imperial aristocracy, so there will be more and more of these events to come."

"... did something fail?

"Does that mean marrying me?

"No, it's not. I was wondering if I would be less comfortable with that kind of freedom from now on because I've lived for as long as I want."

"All you have to do is show your face to an event hosted by His Majesty the Emperor. Such opportunities are not so numerous. Though you've become a nobleman, you don't have a separate territory, let alone my companion, so I don't think you have many invitations from other nobles, do you?

"I hope so."

"And... your father was all over you. Since the Imperial family has been mourning for the past year, there have been few events hosted by His Majesty the Emperor. Perhaps a year from now, until my brother's crowning ceremony."

"Nevertheless, you've often been accepted to marry me. I just thought it would turn me down."

"Didn't you make me so determined?"

"Me?

"I wish I was alive, didn't they say so? Then I wanted to live. If you think about the options that are going to happen alive and interesting, you'll get your own answers."

"It's me, the ex-slave, isn't it?

"Dr. Krumfal... You're dead, but I don't think the teacher's teaching is wrong. A person should not be determined in that capacity by a person. It is by the free will of a person that we should obtain that identity. The fact that you were a slave does not constitute a rejection of you. You didn't become a slave of your own will, did you?

"That's right..."

"Besides, the immediate endorsement of Dr. Krumfal and my way of thinking is about you. And I thought it would be funny if you said that times hadn't kept up with me, etc."

"Is that right?

"But you're in trouble, aren't you? All nobles know what has happened so far. Even though, he opines on the politics of His Majesty the Emperor, gets in the way, and even marries a honey-backed, late-going princess whose minister has rebelled against His Majesty. It will be seen by the nobles with curiosity. But that's because you agreed to marry me. Be prepared for that."

"I'm used to being seen with curiosity by people, and I'm rather good at the amulet of the Princess of Hane Return."

"... fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, you're reliable. Are you sure you're younger than me?... mundane, but thank you for your continued support, sir."

"Linos, that's fine. Dear Ricolette,"

"You, Linos, are the man who will be my husband. Call me Ricolette."

"Well, nice to meet you, Ricolette"

"Nevertheless, your brothers and Chancellor Gremont were brilliant in their arms. We're going to create a farce like that in just a few days."

"Not at all. We have to be careful so this conversation doesn't turn into a farce."

Woof, Hahaha and we had a laugh as we watched Miyagi's "Cucumber" garden at noon in the window.
