"I'm surprised to see you all of a sudden, but I think you're ready."

"Yeah, once."

I looked directly at His Majesty the King. Because I really had to tell this guy something. Was it a good time? There was also a queen next door, who looked at this one strangely.

"So you can go ahead and talk about your engagement to Selieu, right?

"No, of course not."

"What?"

I said, never mind His Majesty frowning.

"As I've said before, I wish my daughter happiness."

"I'm listening. That's why my engagement to Selieu would be the happiest."

"That's what Your Majesty thinks. But I'm a little different."

"You say it's not?

It is the Queen who has asked me that. I don't think I'm going to get in the way of much of the conversation, but I asked the opposite question out of curiosity.

"Is the Queen happy now?

"That's... well, yeah"

"Yeah, if you look at the relationship between you two, that'll tell. But a queen is not for anyone."

"... right. But I think you can be Laurier. It's you and Sasha's daughter."

"Yeah, he's smart, so you know the area."

Yes, Laurier would be a genius if I told her. But that's why.

"That's why I want her to make a good decision about the path she wants."

"... I mean, say no?

"Yeah, that's what I'm trying to say, but I'm pretty sure the engagement's beneficial."

Thinking about Laurier's insect repellent, the future, etc. would be an overall plus. But don't miss the disadvantages in that shadow either. Because one of these decisions is going to force Laurier to have a harsh queen education. Not to mention, the downside of getting closer to the development of the maiden game is huge. That's why I came here to say this.

"That's why I'm here to offer you a compromise."

"You think it's a compromise?

"Yeah, if you really want Laurier to be Mr. Sellew's fiancée, the relationship is to keep her as a fiancé" candidate "until she graduates from school. Of course, Laurier will educate the queen, but if they change their minds by the time they graduate, Laurie and Sellew will be separated."

"... you think we're going to get on with such a one-sided story?

"Yeah, if you don't want to ride, I say no. But how many other fiancée candidates besides Laurier do you have in your current situation?

This man has many enemies inside and out right now. That's why I have to get on with this story. If His Majesty is forced to engage you at last, it is not a bad idea to put on some items so that you can carry your engagement breakdown in your favor, or take over the country by coup d 'état.

His majesty kept his mouth shut for a while about those unexpected words of mine, but instead the queen said them with a laugh.

"You're really funny these days. I can't believe you threatened the king."

"Do bad things that people hear. It's a deal. My daughter's future depends on it."

"Hehe, what are you going to do? At this time, if you turn the Duke of Fall into an enemy, you and I could be beheaded by a coup."

His Majesty said, frightened by the queen, who laughed more pleasantly than she thought.

"Don't laugh fun. Totally... Duke of Fall. Can I ask you one last time?

"Whatever."

"Is your lord important to your country or your family?"

"I don't care if it's family."

"Ha, I see. Yeah, I get it. I misread your lord. It must be this mistake."

After a while, His Majesty nodded and said.

"Let's get on with your proposal. Instead, I ask for more loyalty."

"Don't worry, if His Majesty doesn't happen, I'm on your side... now."

"Yume, let's not forget"

Thus I showed a one-off settlement regarding Laurier's engagement. I bought time. All we have to do is leave Laurier's hard work and judgment to her. A pitiful father, but still swore he would protect his daughter.
