Risou no Himo Seikatsu

Chapter II.4 [Another Marriage]

Then a few days later.

Somehow scheduled, Queen Aura was in a room at the Royal Palace, setting aside time for a conversation with Lucinda, the eldest daughter of the Bourgeois family on the border of Ghazir.

The apparent reason is "a wedding meeting between General Pujol and Nilda Ghazir scheduled in a year's time," but that's not the point.

"You've come well, I'm sorry to call you so often. Sit down first."

"Yes, excuse me"

Where Lucinda hips elegantly on the opposite couch, the queen first brings a stone street and an ostensible story.

"Are you ready for the wedding? Primo on the Gigens' side seems to be moving quite vigorously, though?

Lucinda giggles and concurs with the words of the Queen, which contain a little.

"Yes. Fortunately, we still have nearly a year to prepare without any major problems.

Exactly like Sir Primo, I don't have any plans to ask His Royal Highness Francesco or Bona for a job. "

It seems that the gift given to the groom Pujol Gijen by the Borderline House of Ghazir plans to ask artisans in the realm without difficulty.

The outer border of Ghazir is a large part of the region. Except for some supplies like salt, which can't be helped, there is a self-sufficient posture in the territory.

General Pujol is a famous samurai.

Let the best craftsmen in the realm make weapons and protective equipment using precious materials such as the dragon fangs of the dragon and the dragon leather of the dragon hegemony and they will receive it as a wedding gift without any problems.

"Right. Well, then, that doesn't seem like a problem. For the Ghazir Border House, the Gigens, and both families, it's a pleasure."

The queen dared to say so in an inclusive tone.

Congratulations to both families, but not to the royal family.

Even without words, I guess the meaning behind that was clearly conveyed.

Lucinda slowly opens her mouth after laying her eyes down for the first time with a special winning face.

"Thank you. On behalf of His Majesty Aura, I would like to thank my sister Nilda Ghazir for a safe wedding."

"Hmm, on behalf of the Ghazir Borderline House, huh? Does that mean that that person's words today are good for the general thrust of the Ghazir Borderline House?

Lucinda gives one small endorsement to the Queen, who comes to confirm so with force in her eyes, so as to exert pressure.

"Yes, more than my father, the Lord, has officially received the life of a surrogate, and I have gone far.

On top of that, after knowing that I am asking you to be generous, I would like to ask His Majesty's help once and for all. "

"Um, you need my help..."

Queen Aura narrows her eyes a little and thinks.

Regardless of the Gijen family, which had the burden of tying its lord, General Pujol, as the queen's fiancée candidate, this one case is somewhat of a position the royal family made a loan to the Ghazir Borderline Uncle family.

After understanding that, Lucinda has dared to say even more 'I want to help'.

I can somehow imagine that it's not the right story.

"First, talk to me."

Encouraged by the Queen, Lucinda speaks' Please '.

"Yes. It's not about anything else, it's about my brother Chavier.

Fortunately, this is how my sister Nilda decided to marry, but it's not strange that Chavier is about to consolidate herself.

Therefore, it is up to His Majesty Aura to introduce us to the good fortune. "

"I see."

To Lucinda's words, Aura exhaled one loud.

Lucinda's 'please' intentions are clear.

Originally, the Ghazir Border House is a typical regional lord nobleman with a strong culture of independence.

For this reason, there is no need for 'referrals' of others, usually including royalty, even with regard to marriage.

Instead, they are more likely to neglect a daughter-in-law or son-in-law with that kind of string.

This time, however, Nilda Ghazir's dowry as the rightful wife of the Gigen-headed General Pujol has put the Ghazir Border House in a position like the shield behind General Pujol without denying it.

The link between the Guijen family, a central prestige, and the Ghazir Border House, a large part of the region, invites royal vigilance, something that can easily be expected of anyone.

So by welcoming his daughter-in-law, who drew on the will of Queen Aura, to the next generation of contemporary lords, the Ghazir Borderline Uncle family is not going to defy the royal will. and I guess you're going to appeal inside and out.

"Please," on the form, but its substance is a major concession on the part of the Ghazir Border Uncle family.

This is going to be a useful discussion.

The queen, feeling so, opens her mouth after giving her a deliberate contemplative look.

"Sure, Sir Chavier, it's time for that kind of story to lift up at a natural age.

When you become a girl with no shortage as Lord Chabiel, the next owner of the grand aristocracy, the Borderline House of Ghazir, you don't know so much about boulders, but if you just wish, there's nothing wrong with this one. "

Aura's tone sounds pretty obnoxious, but she's not lying about what she's saying.

As a matter of fact, the Border House of Ghazir is one of the great kingdoms of Karpua, a great nobleman who enters the Ten Fingers.

When you become the daughter of a family who deserves to be married to its next lord, Chavier, and yet a daughter who is commensurate in age with Chavier, that number is never high.

Who would deserve it? In his head, Lucinda speaks out to the queen as she begins to list the aristocracy on which her breath rests.

"However, no matter what happens, there are ultimately compatibility, emotional issues about men and women. If possible, I'd like to let you have some respite before a formal marriage, how about that?

"Mm-hmm? I mean, in the position of fiancée before marriage, often you're telling me to keep my fiancée in the outer realm of Ghazir?

Lucinda quietly shook her head to the side to ask Aura in a suspicious voice.

"No. It's not my territory, it's a story in the King's Capital. I'm talking about next year, and Chavier is going to put it on the king's capital. My father's going back to the realm instead, so you're going in instead."

"... ho"

To Lucinda's words, Aura raised her low voice.

In the Kingdom of Karpua, as a general rule, the aristocracy requires that any one of the previous, present or next principals settle in the King's capital.

Considering that, it is not particularly strange that the current lord, Miguel Ghazir, returns to the territory and the next lord, Chabiel Ghazir, comes out to the king's capital.

However, the King's capital is at the knees of Queen Aura, as well as the home of General Pujols.

There is no way that General Pujol, who married Nilda Ghazir, would remain silent in that king's capital if Chavier were to dwell.

That's fine enough to send a woman who breathed herself to Chavier, and she'll do it.

(I see)

Aura clearly understood Lucinda's message not to speak up.

As a testament to her loyalty to the royal family, the Border House of Ghazir is prepared to accept a person in line with the will of Queen Aura, to the rightful wife of the next principals.

However, if that was a marriage that had passed and was royal in nature and was unintentional to the Ghazir Border House, I would also be prepared to strengthen my ties with the Ghijen family but resist. That's what I'm saying.

(As a local clan of lords, naturally, it's more like an honest attitude for what I've previously declared)

Aura made that decision.

In fact, I am certain that I have come a long way because I have been saying that I will accept a human being in line with this intent as the next Lord's rightful wife.

On top of that, "That's not why I accept any woman," enough to stab a nail, as a nobleman, would be the natural means of self-defence.

"Okay. Now, let's set the scene so we can meet in the King's Capital.

I intend not to be a bad candidate for the Borderline House of Ghazir or for Sir Chavier personally, but if there seems to be any inconvenience, I would appreciate it if you could talk to me through this before I speak directly to my daughter, who will be my fiancée. "

"I understand. I'll tell my father and brother that, too."

As horrified, against Lucinda, who smiles and bows her head, the Queen takes the opportunity to make another push.

"But when I come with my sister, my brother, it will be my sister's turn next. You will follow the reverse order of age, but can you also think about their own friendship just in earnest?

To Aura's words, Lucinda shook her neck sideways with a bitter smile after blinking a few times as she had been poked through her heart defect for the first time today.

"No, I'm, like, this old."

Lucinda, who remains unmarried and past her mid-twenties, has already given up her marriage completely.

Otherwise, you would have eaten more greedily the last time we talked about "Good Giro is interested in Lucinda".

But to Lucinda like that, Queen Aura tells her intentionally, with a distorted grin on her mouth.

"No, that would be premature.

Clarified, indeed, those who are past the right age, in the common sense of this world. The elder daughter of the Ghazir Borderline House deserves to be approached, which is difficult.

However, if we do not confine ourselves to the condition that the house is the same size as the Gazir Border House, we will have a recipient. Why don't you leave the marriage to me as well as to Chavier?

"It's..."

To the Queen's offer, Lucinda forced her expression.

Lucinda, who is past due age and can no longer hope for a decent friendship, but that means that if we return the back and we have an undesirable friendship, we still have it.

The Ghazir Border House is a great aristocrat who also enters the Ten Fingers in the Kingdom of Karpua.

It is unlikely that in Lucinda, after the marriageable age, the like-minded aristocracy will accept, as well as the aristocracy one step below.

However, if you are an aristocrat with more than two steps below you, there is bound to be one who proceeds and accepts marriage for the sake of the sign of the Ghazir Border House.

To the small and medium-sized aristocrats who breathed their own breath, daughter-in-law.

Lucinda, who understands what Aura is trying to say to mean by that, takes one long deep breath.

"That's not a bad story,"

Separating emotions as much as she could, Lucinda said so of the judgment she had made in reason.

Lucinda herself had given up her marriage.

If Aura wants and the other house wants, there is no refusal on Lucinda's part to treat herself as a pawn.

If there is a problem, that is how Lucinda's dowry in the understated house makes the name of the Ghazir Borderline House lighter, but that is offset in the sense that Nilda is dowry in the Gigens.

As a royal family, you are probably concerned that in the marriage of General Pujol and Nilda Ghazir, the presence of the Gijen family and the Ghazir border uncle will be heavier than necessary.

If doing so keeps your sense of distance from the royal family normal, that's not a bad deal.

Either way, unlike Chavier's marriage, which I signed up for from here, Lucinda has no right to respond immediately because there is no prior discussion about Lucinda's marriage, which I have brought with me from the other side.

"I understand your offer. I won't be able to respond to you in one place, so I'll get back to you once I've spoken to my father, okay?"

To Lucinda's words, which she regains, the queen nods back to Eagle Deep.

"Oh, that's okay. Tell Uncle Ghazir about it."

"Yes, I understand."

Lucinda, who regained her quiet tone and expression, was polite enough to leave the room behind.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Make a noise with Batan, and when Lucinda leaves, all that is left in the room is the Queen and her side, the fine secretary.

"But you're so-so. It's a fraudulent trick, to be honest."

The queen shrugs her shoulders small and denies the spicy feelings of her belly.

"I didn't lie to you. What I'm thinking is to ask Miss Lucinda to be Zenzilow's sideroom. Isn't that" dowry into a house the size of a Ghazir Borderline Uncle "?

"It's possible to reconcile the fact that you're not lying with the fact that you're cheating."

To the words of a fine-faced secretary shrugging her shoulders to imitate the Lord, the queen slipped her gaze softly as to whether the boulders were badly littered.

In fact, if you are going to say that you have now taken the word, Secretary Fabio is right, there is no choice but to be told 'fraud'.

"Well, to some extent around there, I'll be honest with you where the story goes. First of all, I want Zenzilow to treat Miss Lucinda with the awareness that she is a 'side chamber candidate'.

So, if Zenzilow doesn't seem to react to Miss Lucinda's refusal, I'll officially take the story "

"Well, Your Majesty will be the one who knows best about becoming Master Zenzilow, so I'll leave that to you.

But if that's the case, then Lord Chavier's marriage must succeed.

Lucinda is, as it were, a person stained with the values of home care. Unless you put a bright light on the future of the Borderlands, you won't have the option to leave your home. "

"I know."

The queen, acknowledging the correctness of the secretary's statement, took it seriously and agreed.

"Do, Your Majesty. Do you have any idea what woman Sir Chavier's opponent deserves?

To the secretary, who asks that slightly provocatively, the queen answers confidently when she jumps up a single eyebrow.

"Oh, let it be.

The important thing is, first and foremost, that she is the daughter of the family who deserves to be the rightful wife of the next Lord of the Border House of Ghazir.

Secondly, that he is compatible with Chavier at his age and has no personality problems.

And thirdly, that my parents are better than royalty.

If you narrow it down to someone who meets those conditions, you have enough candidates in one hand. "

There is no lie in Aura's words saying that with her breasts up.

Originally, the Kingdom of Karpua was a country with extremely high royal powers within a feudal state. Inevitably, Aura, the king of that country, has a large number of trusted aristocrats whose faces are wider than anyone else's and who are directly subordinate to themselves.

But to the pride of such a queen, the secretary gives water, with the usual faceless expression.

"That was it. But don't you forget one condition?

"Mm-hmm? Forgotten terms?

To the Queen who inquires, the secretary gives small assent.

"Yes, that's a woman who can adapt to life in the peripheral territories."

"Ah..."

The allegation, apparently, was firing, and the queen uttered a loose voice between them.

"Right. Right. Is it cruel to bury a bone in the peripheral lands to the noble daughter of the king's capital?"

The nobility generally has a local lord nobility with its own territory and a royal palace nobility that can be used directly to the royal family without a territory.

Naturally speaking, the majority of the aristocrats who are Aura's handkerchiefs are the latter - the royal palace aristocrats. The local lord aristocracy, with its own ground and financial resources, is really the fur of independence.

Of course, there are trustworthy lord nobles and untrustworthy royal palace nobles, but apart from each other, the royal palace nobles are the foundation of Queen Aura's support.

Secretary Fabio is correct in pointing out that, having never stepped out of the King's Capital before today, local territory life will not be tame inside to the ladies of the royal palace nobility.

It can be said that the territorial capital of the Borderlands of Ghazir is sufficiently prosperous, both demographically and financially, but it must be said that the cultural level still falls a few steps compared to that of the Wang capital.

If a daughter living in Wang Du moves in, she is likely to take unpopular words and actions and buy local human disapproval.

"Um, then don't lose any more candidates at once. Per the eldest daughter of the Viscount Regalado family seems to have no problem"

The Viscount Regalado family, the former family of lords of the present king's capital, is a trustworthy family with close proximity to the royal family. On top of that, the Viscount Regalado family is a house that houses the King's capital, but it has the value of principally martial arts, so I can expect that even a daughter-in-law can blend in with the border uncle of Ghazir.

"How about three or four women from the Marquis Lara family? I think I'm getting a match for my age, too?

To such a secretary's suggestion, the queen wrinkles between her eyebrows and thinks.

"... the conditions are fulfilled, but both the nanny and the nanny husband are stubborn. Ever since I got to the throne, I've been completely distanced. Will you accept this request..."

The Marquis of Lara is a nanny couple of Queen Aura, who for Aura equals a de facto family.

It is the most trustworthy subordination, both capably and personally, but when Aura came to power with the Queen, she said, "We have too much influence over the Queen. So I can't stay in the King's Capital. Instead, I'll take care of the northern guards," he said, "and I've never really faced the King's Capital before.

Even Aura and Yoshijiro's wedding is thorough enough to have the surrogate send a letter of celebration.

"In the meantime, why don't we just go through with it? There will be no simultaneous progression of the marriage of Master Nilda and Sir Chabiel even at the Borderline House of Ghazir.

Then, even if Sir Chavier's marriage begins to move at its fastest, more than a year away. If His Majesty's plan goes well and Lucinda's side chamber is wrapped up before then, it will be extended for yet another year.

There's still time, let's do it.

Conversely, if you don't say anything for two or three years, a woman in good condition will be married. "

"That's true."

The queen, acknowledging the secretary's claim, returned the words so, in a satisfactory manner.

"After next year, there's a good chance Zenzilow is getting 'Moment Travel'. May I entrust the messenger to Zenzilow?"

"Isn't it good? If you are a Marquis of Lara, you may not be in danger to Master Zenzilow.

Even for Marquis Lara and his wife, you will want to see the face of Her Majesty's husband, and it would be beneficial for Master Zenzilow to greet the parents of his wife's upbringing. "

That's how the secretary agreed to Aura's proposal.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

That night.

Yoshijiro and Aura were sitting back on the couch opposite each other in the living room of the rear palace.

The contents of the cutter glass on the table are fruit juice water, not liquor.

The story across the street is a serious one.

Recently, when we often work separately during the day, it has become routine to exchange the information obtained on that day.

"... and so on. I haven't interviewed him yet, but as far as I'm concerned, I'd like to welcome Lucinda to his side room.

Of course, the final decision rests with him, but try dealing with Lucinda with that intention for a while. If that turns out to be acceptable, tell me.

From me to Lucinda, I'm officially checking in the side room. "

…………

To Aura's words, Yoshijiro was holding both fists firmly on his knees unconsciously.

I'm not lying or false about the last time I told Aura, "If I really have to take a side room, that's good Lucinda," but that's not why I got aggressive about taking a side room.

Aura and Lucinda. A future that has simultaneous relationships with multiple heterosexuals.

I know with my head that culture is different, but when Yoshijiro really lived there, he associates himself with the end of a human being who had two strands, heard on the internet and rumours.

As a matter of course, modern Japan says, "As a result of this discussion, the man lived with two women as lovers and three of them as friends forever. Congratulations," I don't really hear the story.

No matter how many royal aristocrats in this world are told that it is normal to marry more than one woman, do you have the measure to turn such a difficult relationship around to yourself? Honestly, there are no shards of confidence, I am Kojiro.

Nevertheless, we cannot decide to flee at this stage more than once we have been prepared.

"Okay. I'll try. Because Mr. Lucinda is the head of the Gazir Borderline Bojia side of the wedding, there will be quite a few opportunities to deal with it.

Oh, but one way or another, the head of the Gigens side is more overwhelmingly the problem child, so the majority of the compromise is likely to be resourced over there "

Aura laughs bitterly at Yoshijiro's words.

"Primo? Sure, he's a troubled guy, but he's just loyal to his desires, no malice. The desire is simply to admire works of art and artists. I'm not even a dude who doesn't understand the story.

Don't be alarmed, but it's not that hard to control, so take care of it. "

"Roger. Sure, if you say so, you'll listen to us, that guy"

The problem, no matter how many times I tell you, is that every time I see a piece of art or artist touching a harp line, I try to empty my head and jump at it, so every time I need to stop it.

He's a very tired person, but stopping him is easy in itself, so Aura is right, even Sanjiro would be able to handle it adequately if he wasn't even alert.

"Um, I'll take the trouble, but thank you. I have one more thing to report to you later.

After Pujol and Nilda's marriage, there is a good chance that another wedding will take place soon at the Gazir Borderline House. Actually... "

"I see. Finally, no more of the Ghazir Border House pushes Aura's livery daughter-in-law into the next generation of contemporaries, Chabiel, to be no more than General Pujol.

He wants me to help him get a candidate for his wife. "

After hearing the long explanation from his wife, Sanjiro nodded again and again as he was so convinced.

"Mm-hmm. I'm thinking of as a candidate the eldest daughter of the Viscount Regalado family and the three and four daughters of the Marquis of Lara.

Viscount Regalado's eldest daughter is in the backhouse, so there's nothing wrong with it, but the difficulty is with the three and four daughters of the Marquis of Lara.

The Marquises of Lara are the parents of raising for me. For reasons of too much influence over me, since I became king, I have prevented myself from stepping into the king's capital, and naturally it is difficult for me to visit the Marquis of Lara "

It was at the end of the war that Aura became king. The vast majority of the time during the Great War, Aura, who was acting as a princess, was on the battlefield, renting the Marquis de Lara leadership at the time.

Marquis Lara himself, on the other hand, is also a general before General Pujol.

Originally, the National Army was supposed to be attached to the royal palace nobility, but at the time it was the middle of the Great War. Due to the depletion of human resources, it was inevitable that, as a special case, Marquis Lara, while a lord nobleman, was in the general position of the National Army.

You will then know exactly how special it is for a lord nobleman to become a general of the national army, because at the time of Pujol Gijen's rise, he gave the position of general to Pujol, still in his twenties.

Lord of the Great Territories, highly capable of himself, his wife is the current queen's nanny.

If you make a mistake, the Marquises of Lara, who understand that even puppeting Queen Aura is in a position to be seen around, refuse to make contact with Aura whenever possible.

"Both the nanny and the nanny husband are stubborn perfectionists."

That said, Aura's smiling expression was somewhat sweet emotional.

Besides himself, Yoshijiro opens his mouth while being slightly inspired by his loving wife, who shows sweet emotions.

"So, the move is with the magic of 'Momentary Move'?

"Oh, the way I'm going. If I can 'fly' home, I'd prefer it to be used for 'instant travel' myself to come home. No, I'm going to take care of my precious daughter, so I want Chavier's daughter-in-law candidate, the three and four women, to be sent on" Moment Travel ".

Sometimes Zenzilow, that person, what is the state of his magic mastery?

Yoshijiro answers honestly to his wife, who asks him that in a serious way.

"In the meantime," Space-Blocking Connections "has been successful ten times out of ten if no one is around. 'Attraction', on the same terms, maybe eight times out of ten.

Magic Power Output Adjustment is now quite possible "

With that said, Yoshijiro shows that when he pins the index finger of his right hand, he increases or decreases the magic that rises from it.

Much slower and awkward compared to a skilled wizard, but still capable of increasing or decreasing the amount of magic that rises from one's body at will.

to that appearance, the queen nodded contentedly,

"Mm-hmm. You're really diligent." Moment Travel "is a high-difficulty magic that is not comparable to" Space Blocking Connections "or" Attraction, "but I want you to manage to get to know me.

Difficulties are completely different, but they do the same thing. You will be able to cast precise spells with magic words, adjust the output to the optimum amount of magic, and clearly imagine the effect activation. That's all.

Fortunately, there is time. Pujol and Nilda's wedding is in a year, and Chabiel's marriage will be after that. "

"'Momentary Travel'? When I learned" Moment Travel, "I wanted to go to both kingdoms, no matter what."

To Aura's request, Makiro says so reluctantly.

Go to the two kingdoms of Sharova Gilbert and find out what's ready to bring the healers of the Pope Gilbert family to Aura's next birth.

That's the biggest goal for Yoshijiro at the moment.

Aura's request will be a stopover for Kojiro's purposes.

"Uh. If you work hard and get to see 'Moment Travel' early, can't you go to the Double Kingdom before the Marquis of Lara?

The queen shook her neck sideways, as expected, to her husband, who confirmed that while she could not.

"I'm sorry, but no. If you are Marquis Lara, it is important to simply send in a few soldiers and caregivers from the rear palace, but when you turn to the other kingdoms, the two kingdoms, who are royal.

We need to send in a large number of escort soldiers beforehand, and we also need to anticipate the season when we can travel on foot, because that's all soldiers can't be sent on 'instant travel'.

More importantly, the two kingdoms, and more specifically the Shalova royal family, are undoubtedly waiting for them by hand. The purpose of the Shalova Royal Family would be to take them in, so they would not be harmed, but it is likely to prolong their stay for various reasons.

Thinking about it, unlike going to the Marquis de Lara, going to the Twin Kingdoms is not so easy to give permission. "

If you get Aura's cordial and polite explanation, Yoshijiro won't stick to his thoughts either.

"Okay. If that's the case, I'll head to the Marquis de Lara first. But either way, I've never gotten over it early, so I'm going to focus on meeting 'Moment Travel'"

"Oh, nice to meet you. I'm a little quick to say now, but please tell me if it's on the nanny and on the nanny husband. Sometimes Carlos says," Come and see my grandson's face. "

I refer to my own son, Carlos, as' grandson '.

That sense of distance is closer to another pair of parents than to say nanny.

I see, this is also a story where we can nod that we are "too close" to each other.

"Mm, okay. I'm going to say hello to my adoptive father and adoptive mother."

Yoshijiro joked and replied.
