He is the Lord of Shishaku.
... no, it's not me, it's Count Bose.
Well, it's not surprising, because it's already been decided.
The Count of Bozes is a person of character, admired by the people, and runs a solid territory in the countryside far away from the capital city, with the support of the surrounding small baron and viscount territories, so it is not strange to be promoted.
But if it's normal, it doesn't seem to make it that easy.
Of course.
The noble family will survive as long as the clan party is not destroyed or crushed.
That's right, if you set up a new noble house with Hoi Hoi, you'll be filled with nobles and elite nobles in no time.
As the number of aristocrats increases, more and more territories, noble pensions, positions, etc., will be needed, and their children, grandchildren, and other "people who demand treatment as aristocrats" will increase in the rat formula.
... that's why the burden on the country is so dramatic, there's nothing we can do about it.
But the count of Bozes turned it into a super important base for dealing with the expedition fleet, for the rights of the three ships taken over, for the territorialization of the naturalized crews, for the possession of naval bases and shipyards, for the research and development of guns and cannons, and for the future of the country and, no, of the continent.
So don't let the other aristocrats make a mess of you. It would be natural to let the Marquis be able to repay the interference from other countries.
Besides, during the invasion of the Empire, several nobles had been crushed and descended, so the Lord of the Boses family may have been just right to balance and fill the hole.
Perhaps I and Alexis-sama's siren were also recognized in that connection.
Anyway, it seems that nobility's new sermons and lords are not usually so easily recognized.
... that's the same as when your ancestors became nobles. No, if you don't do more than that, you won't be a higher title.
What kind of impossible gameplay is that...?
Ah, in terms of merit, it is natural for me to be a countess, and it seems that there has been such a story in fact, but even though I was a civilian in this country, I was just classified as a viscount, it seemed a little bad for me to be a countess in a row.
Even so, it seems that there was a voice saying to the Princess of Thunder that I would be the daughter-in-law of my eldest son, but it seemed that the people in the Count and Viscount families who were thinking of me as a traitor were opposed to the idea that if I became a count, it would be difficult for me to become a wife due to the problem of characteristic proportionality.
... yes, Goodjob!
When I became a count, there would be a problem if the territory remained in this small former baron's territory, and I didn't want to leave this territory and start over in the wide count's territory.
In the first place, it's ruined when I say "small territory is good" and I get here.
Well, the kings don't seem to think that I'm going to marry somewhere, not my son-in-law, or that I'm going to forcibly raise my title.
In terms of my worth, in terms of fame, it's not the "Countess" who has many people, but the title of "Great Hero of the Salvation of Japan, Princess of Thunder", which is only one person, is sufficient, and the change will come...
Well, that is why, for the Count of Boses, he was recognized as comparable to his ancestors, who became an emerging nobleman a long time ago, and it is a sunny stage of whether it will happen once in the generations before and after, rather than the generations.
That's right, I'd like to be tempted.
It's a bit funny that the countess is sober like the bridegroom on the day before the wedding.
... and the Count asked me to prepare the food for the celebration party...
The ceremony was naturally held at the Royal Palace, and I only participated normally as an aristocrat who had a deep relationship with the Bozes.
As expected, I will not do any extra drama or fireworks at such a ceremony.
Of course, I definitely wouldn't use the one I was thinking about for Sabine-chan or Prince Rouheng's debutante ball. If you use it, you'll really lose the cover that you use when you're two.
Well, I'm very much involved in the reason for the Countess's reign this time, so it's only natural to be called to the ceremony.
Even without it, besides the title of Viscount, I have the title of "Great Hero of Salvation, Princess of Thunder", so it is unlikely that I will be called to the ceremony of the birth of a new Marquis.
And, well, that's why it's a party.
No, the ceremony is safe, everything is fine.
It was a vigilante event with no room for extras.
And the food that the Count of Boses... no, the Marquis had asked for was prepared by the help of Adelate's family, Viscount Reiner's family, and the cook of the Boses family who learned to cook Yamano during Beatrice's debutante ball.
No, as expected, I'm not going to take command of the cooking ground on a day like this.
As a formal participant, I let the [Great Hero of the Salvation, Princess of Thunder] do such a thing. Uncle Bozes... the Marquis's reputation fell quickly.
No, I don't want Beatrice's debutante ball.
It's just a story of friendship between smiling girls because I personally worked together for my best friend, the girl.
And perhaps, in return for my debutante ball, "Saintess, Beatrice" will perform as a friend in a drama or something, or even as a cameo.
... but that's not how we're going to do it this time.
Sir, the party of the Count from Count to Marquis is not something that can be done by friendship or anything.
Today's position represents the power relationship and faction relationship of each aristocrat.
On that day, the day I was working behind the scenes, I didn't know what the nobles were going to say.
In the first place, my uncle and I... the Marquis were too old to be able to do it in "Friendship".
Anyway, that's why I spared no effort to cooperate in advance, but today I'm just one of the party participants, and I don't have to work behind the scenes.
Well, I gave a lot of ingredients and sweets made in Japan yesterday, so there is no problem.
Marcel from the Liner family can make perfect dishes from Adelate and Beatrice's debutante balls, as well as other Earth dishes and new dishes arranged by themselves, so if you hand over ingredients such as sea fish, high-quality Japanese black beef, and barberry-seeded duck meat, you can make many dishes that do not reach the court cooks' feet.
... no, what happened was that the ingredients that are not available in this country, as well as the "all-you-can-use, various spices, herbs, and condiments" that I provide inexhaustible quantities, and the food that serves as a sample, I made them eat, and provided recipes.
That doesn't mean that the court cook is a bad cook. If I offered the court cooks the same thing, they might be able to cook something even more amazing...
Well, I'm sorry to the court cooks.
Perhaps the royalty and the aristocrats who were invited to the party at the castle will criticize things compared to the Yamano cuisine.
"Ikan, if we don't take any remedial measures, the court cooks will be in a better position..."
"... no, you don't have to worry about that much." They are professionals on that path, and they can overcome it on their own. It's an insult to a professional to have bad sympathy. "
"Ah, the king... why is the king here now?" The King said, "It's been a while since the party started, and it's time for His Majesty the King to enter!" Isn't it something that will be introduced and appear? And how do you know what I'm thinking? ”
"No, I've been speaking up for a while now..."
Again, that's it!
"And I'll show you how to do that later." But after that, there's a lot to talk about, and I can't eat freely.
That's why we have to move now to eat the new Yamano cuisine..... "
"I don't know why!"... oh, by the way, you're not wearing a crown... "
"Oh, I'm not acting like a king right now."
"When you're not wearing a crown, you're off duty!!"... why is Sabine there? "
Sabine is cooking something a little further away.
You're not wearing a tiara, so Sabine isn't working as a princess right now.
When you awarded me the Viscount, you wore it, Tiara. The Second Princess (Chi) and the First Princess (Upper Sister)...
Ah, those two are eating over there too.
Everyone around me can't talk right now, or they don't seem to get in the way.
... I wonder if you're used to the usual?
"That's not how it works!" Just for today, I heard that there's a new Yamano cuisine.
If you're a regular cook, you can always ask the chef to make you something you like! ”
"Ah, so that's it..."
Apparently, they don't always do such shameful things.
"Of course..."
And was it in your mouth again?
Well, anyway, today's not my day.
As just one of the party attendees, you can't just relax...
A nobleman's party is not like a banquet. A place to socialize... I mean, a place to work.
I have to do various business activities and sales activities, such as greeting people everywhere, selling products from the territory, and asking people to broker deals with the Marquis of Bose.
The husbands of the world come back with a drink as part of their work, so I hope the wife won't be too angry.
... anyway, without much incident, the Count of Boses evolved into the [Marquis of Boses].
Now, for the time being, there won't be any major events.
"It's time to get down to work on the territory..."
