The Marquis’ Eldest Son’s Lascivious Story

It was only after the sun had fallen and it was completely dark that I returned to the city of Nambonan after my inspection.

Is it the eve of the election that will take place tomorrow, the citizens are gathered in the square to light a fire and sip alcohol?

I went back to the mayor's mansion, watching the citizens everywhere.

Ordered the clerks who were cleaning up the materials in the office to clean up the notes before taking a bath. I used to wander around the mine, and my whole body felt kind of dusty.

The civilians seemed to be doing some work in the carriage back home, and by the time I got back from bathing, they had pre-cleaned up the residual handling of the inspection work.

I got overtime on an out-of-town inspection today, but they don't pay overtime because they're on a fixed salary. If it was in Japan in the past life, it might be described as a company animal working in overtime service. Livestock rather than livestock is the subject of labor here, not the company, but the chief nobleman.... It's starting to seem kind of pitiful.

I had Odie prepare a small sum and hand it over to the clerk for dinner. There were also stalls out in the square, so even something delicious would come and eat.

Some time after returning from the office to the mayor's office, Odie came with a bunch of tea and letters.

"I have received a letter from Newnelly. The horse is due back in the morning, so please tell me if you want to reply."

Say it's the letter you just received, and Odie puts it on his desk.

And apart from that, he was handed a letter sealed with a seal of wax directly. Looks like a letter from my father, as far as the sealed wax symbol goes.

"In addition to responding, I have a letter I would like to send. I'm gonna write tonight."

"Yes, sir."

With that said, before the horse leaves, Odie will come and check it out.

I just had something I wanted to pick up, so I wanted to call Newnelly. It is convenient.

I thought I'd read a letter from my father first, and move my gaze towards Hikaru Odi. Because it is addressed to me, it may contain military secrets or something.

Then, somehow, Odie looked different.

It maintains a decent look, but from the inside, I can feel a tranquil atmosphere full of joy.

As I was speculating about Odie's change, she started checking on the other plans.

"As planned, we are adjusting to be able to head to the Big Husband tomorrow and later. Are there any changes?

"Nothing in particular. So keep moving."

My grandfather is currently encouraging castle construction work in the westernmost part of the territory of Qualdenze.

I'm going to visit my grandfather this time. Then he will also give him the souvenirs he had left behind from Fannie.

After a brief talk about my plans to leave, I decided to ask Odie why I was in a good mood.

"That sounds like a lot of joy. Is something wrong?

"Huh?"

"Doesn't he look bright compared to the morning? Did something good happen to you?

Odie gently put his hand on his cheek to check his own expression, and smiled gently.

"Yes.... Among the letters I received was one addressed to me by my husband"

When I necked her wondering what letter my father had sent to Odie, she knelt down on the spot and placed her finger on the floor.

While I was a little surprised at my sudden kneeling, I waited silently for the continuation.

"I'll give you an adopted child, that's how it was written in the letter"

Odie gave details of what was stated in the letter.

I had left everything to my father regarding what he would do with the eight magical babies Rupetta protected on the field.

It's a lot of discount anywhere if you're a magical baby, but from a knight's point of view, it's what you want most. It simply leads to the stability of your home, and in some cases it can be used to mate with your family.

The interaction between the Quordenze and the Knights occurs, so it's not the part where I get my hands on it.

I don't know how my father decided where to distribute it, but as a result, I hear Odie was to be given one of his eight babies as an adopted son.

"This would not have happened if the young man had not been protected from the baby. Thank you very much."

Odie bows his head deeply and expresses his gratitude to me. The voice color was full of relief, and it has often been conveyed that I am sincerely pleased with the decision.

"Uhm."

I knew Odie was married, but I've never taken a vacation in a pregnancy relationship before.

Children are made even when couples are not close on the Elo continent. In a way, I might say we're getting married to have kids. In this continent, where there are no pension mechanisms, children are also insurance for the future.

"Let's reward the Quordenze family for their benevolence, I will raise them dearly"

Odie bowed his head respectfully before leaving the room.

I was left alone in the room, drinking hot tea and thinking about her.

I stand up from my chair whilst I whisper a letter from my father at my fingertips.

"Young lady? Something?

Face out of the mayor's office, a glance meets the guard who was waiting in the hallway.

All of a sudden I found an escort I was going to call.

"We need to talk. Get inside."

"Ha."

That escort, who obeys my instructions in silence, is Odie's brother.

Brother Odie was waiting a little further away for another escort. He gestured and handed him the information, followed by me into the mayor's office.

"I need to ask you something about Odie"

"To the best of my knowledge, I will answer you."

I gesture with my hands to make my body easier on Brother Odie, who sets the tone and wonders what questions are coming.

"I know we've been married for years, but doesn't Odie have any kids?

"Yes.... it seems hard to have a child"

After all, Odie doesn't have any children.

Brother Odie seems to have been worried about his sister, who suffers from fertility. He also seemed to have heard that he was relieved to get an adopted baby.

"Is that what you mean? Yeah, I was just wondering. I thought you weren't so worried about Odie that you bothered to adopt her."

From a father who has to consider stability in the realm, a knight without a successor should take precedence in the distribution of the baby.

Just as the aristocracy needs the power of the Lord's ancestors, so in the Knights the power of his subordinate ancestors is required. If there is no successor to his ancestors, the knighthood will no longer be granted control by the aristocracy. In other words, it is an overthrow.

In that regard, I remember that Odie's dowry knights had not had so much difficulty with the number of magical possessions.

"Is that what happened?"

"Oh. But there was a point. And because Odie's gonna be sick, keep your mouth shut about what I asked you about this."

"Understood."

After a thorough pause, I let Brother Odie out of the room.

I begin to process a bunch of letters with a feeling of impatience.

Sometimes it would be nice to have a rest day without a rest day.

Leaving Odie with the letter I wrote back, I went into bed with no one.

The next day, the city of Nambonan had been surrounded by hustle and bustle since morning.

It is a long-awaited election day for citizens.

The square seemed to have the feast going on as it was last night, and the various stalls seemed hilarious.

If this is Newnelly City, I'm going to dress up as a civilian and explore the city, but unfortunately this is Nambonan City. The guards told me not to do this because the magic team of wide-area detection was not planted.

The city of Nambonan is close to the territory of the Imperial aristocracy, so it is more likely that something like an assassin will enter than the city of Newnelly. I can't help but hate escorts.

Coming to the highest part of the castle of Nambonan, I decided to take a far-flung look at the citizens of the polling station.

It didn't seem like a system where you could vote anytime from morning to evening, like Japan did in the previous life, but rather a mechanism where you gathered at the polling stations in each district at lunch to vote simultaneously. And when everyone finishes voting, they will be immediately invoiced on the spot.

Citizens who were not on the election management side watched the invoicing work happily as they pinched the food they bought from the stalls around the polling station.

At the end of the invoicing process, the winners from all over come to Castle Nambonan.

Because here at Nambonan Castle we have a role as a council chamber.

There will also be a square in front of the floor, where new Council members will be unveiled.

The castle of Nambonan is now a meeting place for new councillors, as well as a modest room for unveiling.

When I walked into the pantry, my bright orange hair caught my eye the most.

"Looks like you got elected."

"Yes!"

As much as we expected, Anna seems to have been elected as a councillor.

Because there are other human eyes here, Anna treats me with firm words.

As Anna and I talked, I could see the other four winners asking around.

All but Anna are men. I'm not happy to be seen by a man.

In the form of Anna introduces me, I talk to four winners, the upcoming councillors.

One middle-aged man and three elderly men, all of whom first apologized for the fact that they defied the Quordenze family and declared that they would strive not to delay the payment of the compensation imposed on the city, and that they would henceforth live as Nambonan citizens of Quordenze territory.

"Mm-hmm. Good mind."

The steady reign of the city of Nambonan is required of my father.

The attitude of the senators, who have immediately shown me respect, is good.

One of the three senators of the old man asked permission to speak out in fear, as he spoke lightly about the elections and the future municipality.

I'll allow it.

"... the senator we nominate, is there anything, restrictions, etc?

There are a total of ten members of the Council, five of whom are elected by citizens and the remaining five by a system directly nominated by elected members of Parliament.

Nominate a human of Qualdenze, I guess this old man is wary of being told so.

"I will not tolerate anyone hostile to the Qualdenze family."

"Other than that...?

"No. Is that Nambonan's election?

Ooh, the voiceless cheer echoed into the room.

The air of surprise and emotion mixes with the fact that all Members of Parliament are left to the citizens.

It's bad for those senators who are thrilled, but worst of all, they can override everything with mayoral authority. I don't need to bother arranging a breathtaking senator.

Rather, it is the administration that counts. Politics is important not only for Parliament, but also for the officials who actually move there.

But the city hall is staffed there with civilians who have come from the Qualdenze army. I don't care if you deceive taxes or try to plan a rebellion. It's going to be a leak.

I hold the position of mayor of Nambonan, but I intend to throw a round at the council and city hall for the fine city.

The city of Nambonan is recognized as the main relay point in transactions between kingdoms empires.

With the acquisition of a powerful ass hold called Qualdenze territory, its status will be firm from now on. If it could be established as a relay city for trading, it would be a more vibrant city full of people, gold, things and information than it is now.

I still find it good to harness the power of citizens to govern cities full of such energy. I think that the source of energy in the city of Nambonan lies in the conscious citizens who have a spirit of autonomy and self-reliance and seek to make the city in which they live a little better.

That's why when it comes to what I do, it's just to take the superior profits as a tax.

Let's keep our eyes open so that the independence movement doesn't start at best.

"Who is Anna going to nominate for senator?

"I asked a merchant I knew"

She's a regular visitor to a liquor store where Anna works, and this time she named herself wanting to help for Anna, who became a councillor.

When I heard the merchant's name, the room-on I had withheld next to me was nodding with a face like I expected.

"If I were elected, my surroundings advised me to nominate a young man."

They advised a lot of people coming to the tavern that nascent Nambonan might need a young idea.

It is a characteristic of the Chamber of Commerce of the city of Nambonan, but it is often shallow in history. Because there are many who have taken the opportunity to build upon the times when the city of Nambonan was put in distress.

At present, it is not uncommon for a large merchant who is said to be a leading player in the city to have been a pedestrian until more than a decade ago. They often stopped by Anna's liquor store when they were rushing out like that. For this reason, they say that few of our principals who have a chamber of commerce in the city of Nambonan are fans of Anna.

Anna's connections are stronger than you can imagine.

"He was in love with Anna, wasn't he? You'll be glad to be nominated. He's good in person, and his parents are powerful, so he's going to be able to count on being a nominee."

The merchant named Anna was in her early thirties and said she was the trail son of a big chamber of commerce.

Room-on says the merchant was famous in the liquor store for being overwhelmed by Anna.

Most importantly, Anna has had a lot of opportunities to be told by a man in a liquor store for a long time, and she seems used to saying no.

"Right."

Exclusive cravings have sprung up in my mind.

The lust that accumulated last night is now starting to rumble.

Would there have been beds in the castle of Nambonan? That's all I've been thinking about.
