Sweet Reincarnation

"Marry me."

Boy's serious bluff.

The relative girl nodded as she blushed like an apple.

Just say small, yes.

On this day, there was one more in the Mortairn family, more families.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

The funeral of the former Uncle Huberlek ended without delay, when Huberlek territory was returning to calm.

Lucas, newly appointed head of the Fuberlek family, was being pursued by the executive. Because the top took its place without a busy handover, it was difficult to understand the situation in the territory alone.

"Why are tax rates different here and here? Tariffs are different in places of similar stature. There's got to be some reason, though?

"Well, I don't know until I've checked the dossier."

"Please."

Yes, sir.

It was discovered, for example, that for many of the territories bordering the peripheral borderlands, the baggage from each territory was subject to separate tax rates. It is necessary to decide on a standard tariff rate, as some newly created territories will also be bordered, but past tax rate arrangements will make political sense depending on where the standard will be placed.

Adjustments to this tax rate. On the contrary, it seems that it has been done by our predecessors in previous generations, and I have not asked why that is the case.

Perhaps as a result of the distribution of rights of passage and commercial rights in the territory, it is currently unclear on what basis and at what consideration it fits into the current tax rate.

Raise tariffs without knowing the circumstances poorly. Or lowering it could even be a spark of conflict just because it involves other houses.

It seems that it would be best to maintain the status quo until it settles down, but even if it does, it is essential to understand the situation.

Or because everything that I have ever done with my word of mouth has disappeared, this is what I promised my predecessor Donashel, and so on, and so on.

It's hard just to see if the promise was true. Inside, there were even those who could not be abandoned, who had been told more than ten years ago to couple each other's children.

I've often said no mouth to the dead, and some of them are greedy and shameless if they insist as they speak out of their mouths and take into account even some kind of shard.

Lucas increased the number of sighs by one again.

"My lord, I have organized a report on the situation of Master Petra that you were instructing me yesterday."

"Wait a minute. Let's hear it after we've looked through this material."

Lucas, who was loading material about his annual stopover from the church in the realm. The Church's petition, which is often a vague metaphor for the quotation of the Holy Word, quickly slips through my eyes when I get distracted and I don't even know where I was reading it. If you don't look through the divider, the next time you read it, it can be from the beginning again.

I listen to my men report when I proceed to the good part of Kiri.

"So?"

"Yes, Master Petra is currently engaged to the Duke's house, but the other party has already revealed the engagement and doesn't seem to intend to make a (but) difference"

"Well, good."

Now that the threat of the Kingdom of Siri has diminished significantly and the importance of the House of Hubarek has diminished accordingly. There have been rumours of the dissolution of the engagement of Petra, who is engaged to the Duke of Kadreček, the head of the military family.

Even in the east, they are running to bring together old and new aristocrats. It's too painful to lose a powerful card here called the Duke's Backshield.

It was also examining the Duke's thoughts as a top priority as an indicator for the future.

I am delighted that the results were good.

"Then, later, the Mortairn family..."

It's a headache problem.

"I know."

There are several legacies that Lucas took over from his father.

The title of Borderline House. territory that accompanies it. property of the Fuberlek family. And the history that has lasted from generation to generation and the connecting edge.

I am in the process of organizing it for each of them, but it is because of the most troubling.

It's easy to understand if you can put it in numbers like an inventory of property, but you can't quantify intimacy additions or subtractions of people.

Even when blood is connected, we are often not close, and we cannot be alarmed because we are relatives.

"Now the Kadrecek, Goose, Krapstein, and Mortairn are the ones making the marriage pact."

"Yes, the Goose and Krapstein families have been smelling a relationship re-establishment in view of the destruction of their engagement, so I was wondering if we could consider the essence only two: the Kadrecek and the Mortairn families"

"I decide that the Duke of Kadrecek's place is good for maintaining the status quo. The problem is the Mortairn family. As a homeowner, I can't break my engagement to the gracious Mortairn family..."

"I couldn't leave her alone any more than the eastern faces were making noise, and I decided to cloud my tea by removing Miss Liquorice once. You were."

"Yes."

From an eastern human being, I don't want the Mortairn family, who have a lot of merit over their wide faces, to squeak out. That is why some houses have even explicitly demanded the break-up of the Mortairn family's engagement.

One or two can be bounced off, but Lucas has no choice when it's wrapped up and linked. I don't care what you think about starting diplomatic relations with emotional downsides, just the faces you have to ask for cooperation in all sorts of things from now on.

Or we can't possibly destroy the Mortairn family engagement or something.

As for Lucas, he felt comfortable with the eastern faces by removing the engagement to his parents' house as it were.

As an individual with him, I have an aversion to pawning my sister in politics. But I can't say that either, more than I have taken over my responsibilities as the head of the Borderline House.

It's my duty to kill my personal feelings, calm down and make your home lush.

"Sir Mortairn said," That's all right. It's good to go so far... you've got to get your hands in from somewhere else quickly. "

"Assistance in the name of your daughter's return to her parents' home, is. If you take this, you will be asked to return the favor, but in return, your engagement to Miss Liquorice. In other words, they should be negotiating to include the breaking of their engagement with the Mortairn family. Alternatively, would another consideration be requested? Ruler Border Uncle and others will tell you to come over the horse. If we are forced to turn over a horse or break our engagement, it will be a bitter choice for us as a home."

"As a homeowner, would it be a choice between letting go of your rights or letting go of your edge,"

"I guess you can't overlook encircling profits in the East alone. It's always the way to attack from the weak and demand concessions."

"Do you know how to poke around without getting help in the first place?

"The other houses didn't have to, and our houses were rough on the territory after the post-war expenses sang. If we were to jump aid now, we would be in a more unfavourable position first."

Reconstruction from war and disaster is about first moves. Three minutes, thirty minutes, three hours, three days and three months are their respective limits.

Three days, for example, is a statistically known wall of survival rescue rates, after which the likelihood of being rescued alive in a disaster is extremely reduced.

Or, three months is a limit of reason for people to live like people. Limits that allow humans to maintain their sociality under extreme circumstances.

The temporal walls of this hand are very much the same everywhere. Even in the post-war Fuberlek territory, within a few months there is one large mountain area.

There will be one or two things to store up in case any house needs it, but that doesn't keep it for years. As a general guide, many houses store about a month's worth. If you spend months with no income or spending, almost all houses will suffer from cold poverty.

That would cause problems with the starving dead, refugees, bandits and thugs, and once that happens, it would be terribly laborious and costly to undo it. If there is one starving death, it will take more than a decade to get it back, and I do not want to return if the refugees are not treated any better than they are now. Bandits have no choice but to crusade, and the mob goes without saying.

How is initial support important? He has been educated as the son of Lucas and the Borderline Uncle, and he is not dumb enough to overlook this importance.

Where people are gone, it's no use telling me to support them now. We need help while people are still in Hubarek territory.

But I can't shake a sleeve without it.

There are enormous expenses in rewarding reinforcements and as war expenses, and what you get instead is no big deal. Because the blind potatoes were distributed as reinforcement manners.

"Do you want to sell off the art of the house and make money?

"The merchant is resourceful. I guess you'll just come here and look at your feet. First, if you do that, you will become a source of laughter, and you will have even less comfort. The people of the East will be more concerned."

"How about a loan?

"Making a debt doesn't change, does it? Getting it or borrowing it doesn't make much difference when our house is in trouble. Interest is also rampant, so you'll end up in trouble later."

There's also this year's harvest and a lot of income, so I can figure it out in a year. That's all the local power of the Borderline House. But the problem is now. No matter how much money you get in the future, if you don't have cash right now, your territorial management will be stuck early.

I need a lot of pretty much put together money within the last few months. But it's cold in the safe at the moment.

I really want the assistance that you have offered me. I want enough hands out of my throat.

However, it is clear that this assistance will be owed, and I am sure that it will be graciously demanding profit later on. In other words, it is clear that it is a poisoned bun.

Eat and die. Eat and die.

At a time like this, I wondered what my father would do, and Lucas felt the greatness of his parents, who were now partitioning the Borderline Uncle.

"Problem with the Mortairn family. How about, for example, getting my daughter engaged instead of Liquorice? While the connection with our home is stronger, is it also easier to receive assistance by withdrawing Liquorice's engagement?

"It would be a fool. Once again, there is no point in engaging us as a Mortaire family at the time of the dissolution of our engagement with Master Liquorice. The Marquis of Siebert, Uncle Ratesh, Viscount Carlsen, Count Bogon, etc., must all have addressed their daughters to the Mortairns. Can a home with the weakness of having once forsaken its engagement compete with these?

"You can't."

"My current engagement to Master Licorice is a legacy of my predecessors. Competition and expense are inevitable if another engagement is addressed."

"Then what should I do?"

Lucas added another sigh.

He is already married and has a daughter who has just become two. Instead of letting the Mortairns daughter-in-law this, my engagement to Liquorice is withdrawn.

If you're going to try it as the Hubarek family, the direct first-degree engagement is heavier than the second-degree sister.

I thought it was a good hand to deepen the connection while getting help, but my men immediately denied it.

So is that. Liquorice got engaged to Pais when the Huberleks aroused power and the Mortairns were in a poverty zone. Before Pace's substandard or the Mortairn family's luxury was revealed.

Now, if we were to re-compartmentalize, we wouldn't dare to choose the Huberleks from the Mortairns. Rather, a situation where other favourable conditions should be chosen.

It is Liquorice, who has so far interacted sincerely with the face of the Mortairn family on an annual basis, which is why they still take care of it, and because of it, the house, which wants to push its edge into the Mortairn family, tries to do something to keep Liquorice apart. There can be no substitute.

"My lord, may I?"

"Hmm? What?

In the room, my men came in.

"My lord, we have a guest who really wants to see you now."

"What? Which one? In this busy time."

"That's... the Mortairn pastry."

"Is that true!? We can't just throw it back. All right, I'll see you. Oh, yeah. Call Liquorice if you want a corner. You're supposed to be in your room. If he had a lover, he'd be happy."

Lucas welcomes guests in the reception room.

This is the room we have previously discussed with Casserole, and it is here that we are set to welcome our guests. In the room, Pais was already relaxed.

"Sorry to keep you waiting"

"No, I'm the one who pushed your busy spot."

"We appreciate all your help the other day. How is your father's injury?

"There is no particular obstacle to everyday life. We're doing what we've always done."

"That's good"

"I'm afraid you'll be all right."

A conversation between two people that begins with an exchange of social dictionaries.

Suddenly, I never get to the bottom of it, so the public discourse goes on for a while.

"I think Liquorice will be here in a little while. Women take a lot of time, so I'm going to run errands by then."

"I don't mind."

"Then I'd like to ask you what you came here for today"

Tea that was served for supply. The cup he was mouthing was placed on a plate, and Pace cut out the requirements.

"I asked you today about my engagement with Liquorice, nothing else. Apparently, you're looking at breaking the engagement, so I wanted to ask you about the response."

"... you're ears fast. Did your father tell you?

"No. My father won't say anything. But if you speculate about the fact that Liquorice was kept at her parents' house and I was the only one returned to Mortarn territory, or the situation in your house today, the big deal is plausible. And so he wrote to my father without permission."

"Ho."

Pace snorts, too, as he is smart with boulders.

I heard the rumors, and I saw the activity on the battlefield, but if we actually talk to the face again, there are things that will happen, such as a high degree of foresight and certainty of inference.

"I also seem to have been too conspicuous, and there are those who plot to be flexible with their hands against my home. From there, perhaps there's a sweet story coming to your house, too?

"As you can guess. There are many places where you can offer assistance to us."

"And this is also speculative, trying to be put in a situation where you can't refuse that offer of assistance even if you want to... no?

……

There is no way I can tell other people that the kitchen situation in my house is painful.

There's no way I can tell you, Lucas lacks enough experience to hide under the guise of calm.

It's like confessing you're right, even if you're just suddenly silent.

"I dare you to ask directly from the front. Does Lord Lucas intend to destroy Liquorice's engagement to me as the head of the Fuberlek family?

A question so direct that it comes with a. Lucas also lost his word.

That's exactly what I was worried about right now, so I decided to pass it on as I thought.

"Honestly, I'm lost. I am grateful and grateful to the Mortairns. First, it's clear that Liquorice herself likes you. As a brother and as the head of the family, I would like to bless your relationship as it is if I could. This is what I mean. But the circumstances in which we are placed do not allow it easily"

"... situation? Specifically?

"I don't have any money. I'm done with this one word. Home and Bend Borderline Uncle House. Quite a bit of revenue. but in order to rebuild from the war ahead, we need the money that came together as soon as possible."

"If the management is poor in gold, even in black, it goes bankrupt. Is that a cash flow problem? It's intelligent."

"I'm not sure about the word cash flow, but you're right about the poor turnover even in black"

Because there is no immediate money, it is not uncommon in Japan to bankrupt a company even though it is in black.

The Fuberleks, who have no cash at hand as a result of the emergency of war, spit out their storage and spend it. If only we had enough cash to get through even the steeple field in front of us, Liquorice and Pace's friends would sincerely bless us, Lucas says.

"Then I have one suggestion for you."

"Hmm? What is it?"

"What about giving you a consolidated amount from our house? That way, as your brother, you'll admit we're friends?

"Stupid. What the hell is the name and such imitation? Lord Casserole will not allow it. First of all, I'm not willing to be treated as a homemaker?

"I wish I had a big father-in-law. Yes, for example, it's called" conjugation money. ”

To Pace's words, Lucas gives a little bit.

For the first time since I was told, I remembered that the boy in front of me was already an adult. Originally, it was the first possibility to notice.

It was such a good time for Liquorice to come to the room, embarrassing herself.

"Rico."

"Mr. Pais!

Face to face again, Liquorice blushes shyly.

I haven't abandoned my shame as much as I snuggle in front of my brother, and I'm not happy about it. What a delicate situation, but it is also a man named Pais who does not pass it by intent.

He knelt softly before Liquorice.

And a word with a serious face.

"Marry me."

Boy's serious bluff.

The relative girl nodded as she blushed like an apple.

Just say small, yes.

On this day, there was one more in the Mortairn family, more families.
