The Marquis’ Eldest Son’s Lascivious Story

I wonder if the situation will change again soon.

With such anxiety, Evenapis Merriy sealed the letter to her parents.

“I'd like to have a cup of tea outside today. I wonder if I could ask Fanny for a word."

While saying that, Merry gave the letter to the middle-aged maid who was holding it back.

Got it.

The middle-aged maid was Merriy's chief servant. Its origin was in the territory of Avenapis, and it was one of the people who Merriy accompanied when she entered her daughter-in-law.

The middle-aged maid confirmed the seal on the letter she had received and instructed the other servants waiting outside the room to prepare for the tea ceremony.

Since the beginning of Operation Snake Jaw, Merry has been in a state of tension. And so did Fanny, who had been entrusted with New Nelly by Wilk.

She wanted to set aside tea time for her daughter to work, rest, and think about the future.

Fanny appeared shortly after Merri entered the castle garden.

"I'm glad you invited me, Mother."... um, how are you feeling? "

The daughter who entered the east house, which was ready for the tea party, looked at her mother worriedly. Merry smiled with a dull smile at the fact that she was going to work.

"Since Master Rooks has returned, you won't feel uneasy." Fanny worked very hard on this. For now, let's relax a bit and enjoy a cup of tea. ”

It was not until about two weeks ago that Qualdenze Lukse, who was travelling to the capital, returned to New Nelly. Tensions continued at New Nelly Castle, but Merry and Fanny were relieved of some of their heavy responsibilities.

Is your father okay?

Fanny gazed at the castle as she sat on the chair.

Rooksé hasn't stopped moving since he returned to New Nelly Castle. I had to move. Almost at the same time as he returned to the castle, he received a report from the frontline that he had launched a city offensive on the city of Othelonia.

Lu Xe wasn't the only one who was surprised by this news. At that time, everyone at New Nelly Castle was stunned.

I did hear about the plan to go for Ossellia, but no one thought we could make it this fast. I understand the rationale of aiming for the city of Othelonia with the momentum of victory. But it was supposed to be a major offensive that took weeks to months. In common sense so far.

Rooks, in a hurry, said, "I'm getting ready for reinforcements. Don't rush to continue the siege of the city.” But a few days later, he came back and said, “I'm already downtown. It is now being suppressed." Merriee saw her husband's stubborn face for the first time at that time.

"It seems that it is difficult to seize Castle Otheloria, so I think Lord Rooks has made it a little easier..."

While saying that, Merry felt strange. This situation was like being helped by the Spiazek army.

"It seems that Operation Jaw has gone far beyond our imagination." I can't see what's happening on the ground. ”

There was a big divergence between New Nelly and the scene consciousness. It is not a matter of simple distance.

On the Elio continent, the common people, in short, the slave ancestors, are not enough. They are weak people who are only subordinate to their ancestors and their ancestors, and it is not often thought that their will and actions will affect a large number of people.

Operation Snake Jaw, led by Wilk, was a critical hit in the Essentials because the movement of the civilians was ideal. The military officer in the field actually looks at it with his own eyes, so he feels with his skin how the civilians helped. However, the side receiving the report did not fully understand it.

Incidentally, the role played by civilians is also described in the report. However, there was a certain blindness and a factor that prevented understanding when Arkonois was crossed, the crusade of the current and previous mains, and the powerful activity of the powerful, such as the raid on the enemy base. It must have been the will and actions of Wilk, the general and main ancestor, that made such a gorgeous battle result possible.

Reports had been received from the front line, but the heat did not reach the site.

"...... this is the reality, isn't it?"

Merriy gently laughed as she put the cup down.

Mother?

"Fufu, there's just a little bit I think. There are still many stories of the first generation of martial arts in my family home, Evenapis. The battle over Hartinos, the invasion of the surrounding noble territory, and the subsequent flattening...."

The nobleman Evenapis family was founded about 100 years ago. The first owner was a blessed son who was born in the city of Hartinos.

"The story of the first generation was also preferred by my late brother." If you think you've dropped your city, you'll be challenged, defeated, and swallowed by another nobleman. The situation changed one after another, so it was interesting to hear, but when I was actually thrown into the vortex... I couldn't afford to enjoy it much. This time, I was strongly reminded of the difference between story and reality. ”

The First, Second, and Third Generations of the Evenapis family stand in succession with the militant leaders. This is why, despite being an emerging aristocrat, the territory is vast.

Destroy enemy forces, take out enemy generals, seize territory, all of which are celebrated in the House of Evenapis. We have a past in which we have developed our homes by defeating our enemies. In fact, Merry grew up in a noisy environment where she imagined the nobility before the beast.

As for Avenapis Merriy, I should admire his victory. But she had no choice but to worry about her son fighting in the middle of enemy territory.

"It seems to be dominant now, but the surroundings are from the Spiazek realm.... I wonder if Wilk is injured. She's going to be in a weird place..."

From Merry's point of view, Wilk is a hard man to handle. The rituals and education as an aristocrat were impeccable, but there was a part where words and deeds were viewed in a sudden flash and made people feel annoyed.

Merriy is particularly concerned about this crooked son because he is her first child. There was no such thing as a child as cute on the Elio continent, but similar emotional movements existed.

Fanny laughed flutteringly at her mother, who was troubled by the thought of Wilk in the distance.

"It's okay, oniisan is oniisan's."

And there was a strong light in those blue eyes.

"I will trust oniisama and wait here."

It is not a sentimental statement that views the situation with optimism, nor is it a shallow statement that blinds my brother. It was the word of the proud princess who protected the rear of those who went to battle.

"...... It seemed a little weak." No way, even though Fanny is so uptight. "

Too much had happened, and Merry's spirit was unexpectedly exhausted. However, one of the purposes of today's tea ceremony is to work fannies. It doesn't seem to be a conversation.

Thinking like that, Merry stood up amusedly and approached Fanny.

"Fanny, you've worked hard enough." In the absence of Master Rookse and Wilk, it was very difficult to bear the name of Qualdentze, wasn't it? The battle is not over yet, but relax your shoulders a bit. If you don't rest, you won't be able to fight. That's what evenapis teaches. ”

Merry gently hugged Fanny, who was still sitting in her chair, as she wrapped her arms around her. My daughter's body was much stronger than I had imagined.

I'm worried about you, too.

"Mother..."

The more you stroke her hair, the looser her tension is.

He must have been trying so hard not to be worried about his surroundings. Could I have had the same mindset around the same year? When I think about it, I'm going to be depressed by my real daughter.

"... really, really good."

Although the first owner founded Evenapis, Merriy thinks it was the Queldenze who laid the foundations of the noble family called Evenapis.

The nobility is overwhelmed, but the Son of Blessing cannot be a nobleman. Because I don't have the wisdom to inherit and protect the blood of my ancestors. It is nothing but an indigenous nobleman, a great lord. To turn the Great Lord into an aristocrat, we needed the help of the first.

The first Evenapis was founded on the power of the then head of the Kuordenze family, Kuordenze Irmesca, and was given a princess to be his wife-in-law. It is indispensable to connect the blood of our ancestors to future generations. The princess could not dowry alone, and many of her companions included knights and officials. This group of dowries from Qordenze has turned a mere lord into an aristocrat.

For this reason, the Evenapis family is very strongly influenced by the Quordenze family. Quoordenze Irmesca's idea, to be precise.

Because of that background, Merry was somewhere fanny and hip.

From Merri's point of view, Fanny is an impeccable princess.

From an early age, the princess of Qualdentze has worn elegant deeds and manners, and has behaved gracefully in a natural manner. Even so, not only will it be a high-flying car, but the adorable opponent like Wilk can honestly respond, and there is no blunder there.

Even before his dowry, Merriy highly valued the so-called educational power of the Queldenze family, but through the growth of Fanny, he further strengthened the idea. It was painfully felt that what makes a nobleman a nobleman is the education of his children, and that it is actually the technical abilities of his subordinates who are responsible for it.

Perhaps because of that, I often wondered if I could interfere poorly with Fanny's education from the House of Evenapis. In modern Japan, there were often parts that looked like "children from other places".

Compared to that, Wilk was easy to deal with. Wilk had no problems in terms of upbringing, but when he started something, no one tended to get him involved and get his story bigger. Because of this, everyone had to gather their heads together and think about the educational policy in a hands-on manner, so Merriy could easily interfere with it.

Merry regrets that she should have loved Fanny more honestly. Fanny had grown up in the last few weeks, perhaps because she was responsible for Operation Snake's Jaws. I should have cared more about the relationship between my mother and daughter, and that feeling strengthens the power of the embrace.

”Mmm... Mother, it's painful”

"Oh, I'm sorry."

As Fanny stopped hugging her, she looked up at her mother with sad eyes. Looking at the expression of regret for what she said, Merry's teasing feelings sprang up inside her.

"I'm very happy that you praised my mother, but... I haven't studied enough yet." I didn't really know what oniisan was doing when I heard the report. ”

The Queldenze family used to suffer from civil strife between the main house and the subdivision house. All of them were purged and centralized by the work of the ancestor Cassia, but the trauma still remains in the blood of Quordenze.

And Luke is the son of Cassia. Fanny's education was particularly careful not to cause a situation like the separation of the family home again.

If we are to leave Fanny in our territory, we should not give her any extra knowledge. If you learn wisdom badly, you may collide with the main house, and in some cases you may be instigated by another house to try treason. That's why Fanny barely left the castle and didn't have much outside knowledge.

There are still new memories from Cassia's purge, and it is undeniable that the part that is becoming more sensitive than necessary. However, it was a clear fact that so much blood and tears had flowed in the past.

According to Lukse's aim, it was like an old woman of the Spiazek family who stood firm as a suppressor of the western mountainous areas in Siquinaon City. I wish I had enough spiritual strength to carry out my noble grace and defensive thoughts.

“It's great to have stood up to protect New Nelly. Be proud of that."

Not everyone stands up to protect their home. As a result of the hunt, the children of the nobility who surrender without the will to fight are by no means a minority. Merriy knew it well after watching the war beside Luke.

"Besides, it's only recently that we've begun to learn about the outside world in earnest, right? You don't have to be in a hurry.”

Fanny's educational policy has changed significantly since Elsinia's disaster. Diplomacy also reached a major turning point with the reduction of aristocrats from all over the continent. Depending on the matter, Luke thought that he should also consider giving Fanny to the daughter-in-law of another family. Just in case, he gave instructions to give her outside knowledge. This is also related to the good relationship between Wilk and Fanny.

"I want to know a lot like oniisan. Under the castle, in the realm, in other realms. Then you can talk to oniisan more, right?"

“When Wilk returns from Othelonia, let me tell you how much Fanny worked. I'm sure you'll be delighted."

"I'm so excited. Fufu."

Needing to summarize what had happened in the castle, Fanny's enthusiasm seemed to be age-appropriate, and Merry's mind was a little dull.

"However, even if we win like this, I don't know if we'll be back soon." Like the Rishleaf after Operation Tusk, it may remain in Othelonia for a while after Operation Chin. ”

Rather, it was Merriy's view that it would be the first time. It is dangerous to place Garfis, who developed magic dysfunction, in the city of Othelloia, and the owner, Lukse, cannot free up New Nelly City for a long time. It is also impractical to assign an old man with a demarcated family. At least Wilk will not be able to leave the city of Othelonia until the defeat and annihilation of Knight Spiazek is completed.

And that was very inconvenient for Merry.

"Fanny loves wilk, doesn't she?" I'm going to miss you, aren't I? "

I may have no choice, but I miss you.

"If it's going to be too long, perhaps I can talk to Master Rooks..."

We must look to the aftermath of the war. Merry thinks we should strike a hand for that.

"Do you think your mother will go on fighting Spiazek for a long time?"

“Depending on how the Ossellian invasion progresses and how it is settled, we think the post-war process will take a long time.”

Given the kingdom's and empire's moves, it will be a very difficult phase in the future. Merry thinks it might have been easier for you to stop your march and negotiate a truce in Siquinaon City. The city of Ossellonia is like a beehive. If you want to touch it easily, chaos can spread throughout the Voistra Plains.

But I guess I couldn't stop at the moment with the city of Othelonia.

"... I still have a deep-seated grudge against you."

What is a Quoldenze and a Silopair? Merriy didn't speak till the end.

In her honest opinion, if she could contain the Spiazek family, she would like them to be handmade at some point.

The Avenapis are anti-Spiazek, basically due to the influence of the Quoldenze and the Silopians. Considered to be the Quoldenze side, it has suffered various disadvantages from the Spiazek family, so it is a bad impression, but it does not have a deep hatred that can be called an ancestral grudge.

Oniisan, is that the same thing?

When asked, Merry herself had some doubts.

"... I don't know. There are some parts of Wilk that I don't quite understand."

It seemed that Spiazek was the enemy, but it seemed to be due to reason rather than emotion. At least Fanny, who has seen the wilk closest to her, may be wondering if it's better not to have a preconceived notion that she has a strong grudge.

“Maybe it resembles Lord Cassia.”

Is this your grandmother?

"Yes, I heard from the Knights of Evenapis before I came to Qualdense." Lord Kasia seems to have recognized the Spiazek family as an enemy to be defeated from an early age, but he didn't have the strongest feelings of hatred until he lost his eldest son, Lord Guardakur. ”

In that sense, Merry thought that Wilk possessed an idea similar to Cassia's. The elderly serving the Queldenze family describe Wilk and Cassia as very similar to each other in the quirky part.

"Oniisan is said to resemble your grandfather."

The courageous and determined procession shown in Operation Snake Fang is often likened to Garfis, the symbol of Koldenze's martial arts. Merriy listened to the reputation well.

"It seems that way." However, among the royal nobles, there is also a growing reputation for resembling Lord Rookse. I think the one who most resembles Wilk is Rookse-sama. ”

It is a result of the appreciation of standing around without genius in Wangdu society. And since Wilk imitates Rookse as a model, there are many parts similar to his words and behaviors. Not many people found common ground there.

"Grandmother, grandfather, and father..."

It seemed strange that they were connected through Wilk, even though each was a completely different person. Fanny twisted her neck and read out her name.

“My grandfather from Operation Chin of Evenapis admired Wilk like Lord Irmesca.”

"... are you from the mainland?"

The grandfather of the Evenapis is now the Count of Evenapis, and the mainland is one of the titles of Qualdenze Irmesca.

"Yes, Lord Irmesca reached out to the first generation, the son of blessing." Wilk is also using the Son of Blessing to fight in war. Indirectly, there is a difference in treatment from direct, but it will be similar in that it served as a blessing child. Originally, the son of the Blessed Son would be avoided among the nobility. "

I was going to use the wild ancestor as a soldier, but at some point I was sleeping on my head, and such a case rolls as far as the wartime. The risk of having a battleable ancestor is enormous. It is no exaggeration to say that male ancestors who can create a large number of servants are potential enemies.

“Lord Irmesca united the interior and laid the foundations of the great noble Koldenze. If Wilk keeps cutting through the Voistra Plains, his accomplishments will be even more impressive. No wonder my grandfather felt alike.”

Does your mother feel the same way?

"... let's see." I have never met Lord Irmesca, and I cannot judge his character. ”

The Count of Evenapis likened it to a kind of mystery.

Irmesca unified the hinterland, but it was also an impossible expansion. Soon after the reunification of the mainland, the subdivision of Koldenze was instigated by the Spiazek family, who planned to become independent from the main house. As a result, Koldenze's territory was divided into five parts. It was Kasia, the great-grandson of Irmesca, who smashed it and reunited the interior.

Irmesca is one of the great patrons of Quordenze and is highly regarded as the first protector of the Evenapis family. But the merit is great, for good or for evil.

Count Avenapis called Wilk Irmesca in order to instruct Merriy to think about his post-war reign. As a minimum, we want to capture Lord Romillier by killing Knight Spiazek and his ancestors in the battle over Otheloria.

"Wilk is good at copying people's ways." Perhaps it was Lord Irmesca who took on the blessing. She likes new things, but on the other hand, she's cautious about precedents. ”

It is a Wilk-like principle of behavior with a living previous life in Japan. If it had not existed before, such as the Founder's Association, it could do as much as it liked, but there were parts of the system that were already operating in the style of the Elio continent that stomped on two legs for fear of failure based on superficial knowledge.

"Grandmother, grandfather, father, and mainland..."

Fanny raised someone who was said to resemble Wilk again. I wasn't sure what to say, but Merriy added one more.

"I'm on the other side." It's Zinker En-Emperor. "

A man who conquered the turbulent western part of the continent and built a powerful nation. The heroic tale is still being told all over the continent.

There were flamboyant episodes created by Wilk's actions, such as the break of Voistra's shield and the Crusade against the Beast in the Royal Capital, reminiscent of Emperor Zinker-En. It probably has a lot to do with where the House of Qualdenze stands.

“Depending on the spread of the reputation, Qualdenze will be in trouble.”

The fall of the Spiazek family will change the way the nobles of the kingdom look at the Koldenze family. If there are many who see Wilk as the return of the Zinker Enemy, they will be forced into a very painful position.

The royal nobility once feared the leap of the Zinker-En Empire. Depending on the outcome of this battle, it could lead to the returning of the trauma.

"It will be important to show a firm attitude towards the kingdom."

The Quoldenze have no further ambitions, and Wilk has not inherited the will of the Zinker Enemies. Otherwise, the nobility of the kingdom will be mischievously afraid of Qualdentze.

"... and I think that's enough." Lady Rooks has been suffering all this time. "

Merriy thinks that it is necessary to actively discuss with Luke what to do with the Spiazek family's dropout area.

The biggest problem that the Evenapis have now is their inheritance. The House of Evenapis, which suffered so much as a result of Ersinia, is in the worst possible situation for the nobility, whose heir, the ancestor, will be lost.

It was a situation that Merry couldn't ignore. Of course, the disappearance of the House of Evenapis was not what the House of Qualdenze wanted. You want to avoid the collapse of the Allied nobility in the South in the face of a major project called the Spiazek Consolidated Drinks Project.

In some cases, it was Merry who wanted to receive seeds from Wilk, but I wanted to leave it to Fanny if I could. Thou shalt have more children, and above all good fortune.

Merriy wants to have two or more children born between her siblings in Evenapis. Of course, the Quoldenze side needs to show a commensurate interest. The blood of the Lord's ancestors is something that money can never buy.

“Either way, the situation surrounding Qualdentze is going to be even more painful. I will support Master Rooks. That's why Fanny needs to support Wilk."

“Of course, I'm an aristocrat from Qualdentze.”

Fanny replied with a smile.

Whether that reply represented an agreement to become a child or merely a pleasure to get along with her beloved brother was difficult for Merry to determine.

As expected, we can't talk about it any more vividly in the present situation. However, I didn't feel bad about Wilk, so I was relieved.

"... by the way, I didn't hear Fanny's opinion."

Since a strange moment had taken place, Merry turned the conversation around and created a flow of conversation.

Is it mine?

"Yes, I think Wilk resembles Master Rooks." Reputation says it resembles your father-in-law, Lord Cassia, and Emperor Zinker-En. So what do you think of Fanny? ”

"Oniisan..."

At that point, Fanny turned away and turned to the castle. No matter what happened, Merry looked back, and there was a civilian appearance rushing over.

My lady, my lady! We have received a new report from the young lady!

The clerk who rushed to the east house was out of hand. The report is in Rooks' hands. He speaks only loudly of the results.

"House Spiazeik surrendered!! It's the fall of Othelonia!!"

Romillier stood up and resisted to protect Ossellia. Why did Wilk fight before the reinforcements arrived? What was the remaining strength on Spiazek's side?

Various elements circled through her head, and Merry could not stand up instantly.

"Mother, your body..."

"... yeah. Yeah, I'm fine."

For the time being, Merry decided to think positively.

“If Otheloria has fallen, there is nothing more surprising about it, perhaps.”

I haven't sent the letter to my parents' house yet, so it is easy to correct. Merry's spirit, which had inadvertently thought of such a thing, had in a way reached the point of giving up.

"I'm sorry, but the tea party is interrupted." Let's go and support Master Rooks. "

Yes, Mother.

Merri returned to the castle to find out more.

Therefore, at the end of Spiazeke's surrender, the couple were to hold their heads together.
