The reborn aristocrat is ambitious! "You've got pretty good status, give em to me"

Isaacs gathered once at the Marquis of Well Rod.

To discuss Hector's offer.

But that's a head-on reason.

It was actually a reflection meeting.

"First of all, Grandpa. What, are you just saying 'take it if you're confident'? I would have liked you to have opposed it not only as Minister for Foreign Affairs, but also as my grandfather. If I strongly disagree, I'll have a corner."

"... are you not confident?"

Morgan looked surprised to hear you say, "No way."

"No, it's not like that!" Even the Reed Kingdom was worried about its success, but I couldn't take care of the Fartyl Kingdom. ”

"Is that so...?" I didn't show you that kind of gesture, so I thought it was something I could afford. "

"Those who are bound to be the next king will not be able to show the king of a neighbouring country what he can't afford!" Since you're the Minister of Foreign Affairs, wouldn't it be better if you were more cautious? "

"I-I 'm sorry." I thought I'd get a country without a fight... "

Morgan shrinks his body, looking sorry.

It is true that Isaac is right, but we do not know what will happen when we rule the Kingdom of Reed.

― ― Isaac became the king of the Reed Kingdom and the Fartyl Kingdom = The Marquis of Werrod was driven by the desire to rise to the highest level in history.

Morgan was beginning to realize that.

Next, Isaac turns to Count Cooper.

"Uncle Cooper said that as the Minister of Justice, there was no problem, but I would have liked you to take a step further." And as the head of the neutral who insisted on maintaining the status quo, I wanted you to point out the issue of the title, not the Windsor Marquis. If we absorb the kingdom of Fartyl, we will see a change that is not a change in policy. ”

“The policy of the neutrals is dominated by the domestic policy of the lead kingdom, and the foreign policy will be judged according to the situation. Therefore, just by stating the legal issues, I did not go any further. There was less information to agree with or disagree with.”

Isaac frowned at Count Cooper's response.

For his words were right in a sense.

"... Surely, there is not only one way to agree or disagree. You also need someone who is neutral and calm about the situation. I'm sorry that I did something to blame Uncle Cooper's judgment."

― ― When you make an incorrect statement, immediately withdraw it and apologize.

Isaac knows that other people's impressions will change a lot depending on whether or not he can do this.

So Isaac apologized honestly.

He must continue to cooperate.

I don't want to be abandoned in this place.

"No, I might have been afraid, too." I regret that I could have made a statement a little more step forward. Otherwise, what were you called for..... "

Isaac apologized so that Count Cooper could say, "I regret it."

If he hadn't apologized, he wouldn't have admitted it for the sake of his face.

Isaac's actions reminded him of what it meant to be a reflection meeting.

(In that case, wouldn't it be nice to say something a little more kind to me?)

Looking at the interaction between the two, Morgan burns the yakimochi.

But I didn't say anything because I knew it wasn't the case.

It was just a little confusing.

In that case, you can't say the bypass thing.

Instead of Morgan, the Count of Uridge interceded.

“It's not a story we can talk about without Lord Warwick, who strongly recommended Lord Enfield, or Lord Wilmente, who was the most powerful candidate for the next king. Whether it was the Marquis of Windsor or the Marquis of Well Rod, it was beyond our control. However, before the Windsor Marquis makes a prudent argument, he reflects that we should have said it."

― ― Marquis Windsor's theory of prudence.

It was called "the question of the title", but what he said was the question.

Anyone else would have just raised the issue.

But the Marquis of Windsor made a big difference.

― ― I don't want to be disturbed by the confirmation of Pamela in the main room.

There was a possibility that it would be received that way.

That is why those without a direct interest had to raise the issue.

Count Uridge regretted that.

"Even if Lord Warwick and Lord Wilmente were present, they would still have finished the conversation with an appropriate reason." Of course, that doesn't mean I didn't think about Pamela at all. But more than that, I didn't want the duke of the small country to stand above me. Rather, you may be stronger. He's the Duke of the country, two hundred years after the founding of the People's Republic. There's no way I can forgive that! "

(Oops, there's one more problem here.)

The Marquis of Windsor looked as troublesome as the Count of Uridge.

But this was also the pride Morgan had shown Elias before.

This time, the difference between Morgan and the Marquis of Windsor was due to the difference in credit to Isaac.

Morgan thought Isaac would solve it, and the Marquis of Windsor didn't think he could rely on Isaac for anything.

That's why Marquis Windsor put forward a prudent theory, saying, “If Isaac can solve it.”

“In any case, the full-fledged conversation will be back when the people who are at the peace with Count Brandar return. Until then, be careful not to spread the rumors so as not to cause unnecessary confusion. We should limit our conversation to people other than those in this room......, such as Pamela and Lisa, who are parties, to those associated with the Duke of Enfield.”

Isaac concluded.

If the rumor spreads, someone with a premature idea might come along and say, "I might get my own territory."

However, the Fartyl Kingdom is not annexed by force, but absorbed peacefully.

Of course, the territory of the nobility of the Fartyr Kingdom would remain intact.

It's not like we're going to be divided among the nobles of the Reed Kingdom.

You can just hope for what you want, but it's not fun to be hated for it.

The other attendees also understood the idea.

It's better not to think about a solution right now, just because it's a big story.

I wish I had taken the time to discuss it carefully.

----------

Morgan and the others return to the palace.

Isaac decided to stay in the mansion and explain it to his family.

However, she was the only one who missed it, so that Kendra, who was still young, would not talk to anyone.

"I can't believe that His Majesty Hector even thought of giving up his country....."

Margaret was not surprised to hear a word that lasted much longer.

Not only she, but the others also seemed to be unable to say anything.

"I didn't think my son would be that dependable from the kings of the two kingdoms..."

Lucia swam her gaze calmly.

They still think that Isaac was about to be entrusted with the country by Elias.

I thought that I would be appointed Prime Minister, but it was completely unexpected that the kings of the two kingdoms would even think that I could "give up my country".

I was lightly panicked by the shock.

“What are you going to do?”

Pamela was puzzled, too, but she wanted to see what she was going to do with Isaac.

I couldn't get lost until I heard Isaac's intentions.

She was terrified of Isaac's answer.

"If I can, I want to refuse." A king of the Reed Kingdom is enough for a nobleman. The Fartyr Kingdom's throne would have been too much to hope for. And if I marry Her Royal Highness Loretta, I'll probably have to make Her Royal Highness the First Lady. Then we have to make Pamela the Second Lady. Even if he is a boy, he will not be able to follow in the footsteps. ”

Isaac looks at Pamela's stomach.

You can't test whether you're a boy or a girl, but in any case, the First Lady's children will take precedence over the throne.

Just because you were born in the first place doesn't mean you're going to be a man.

That's what Isaac and Nathan prove.

Loretta's marriage was something that Isaac had to avoid in order to prioritize Pamela.

“I love Pamela. So, if you can't hold your position as the main room, you'll move in the direction of rejecting His Majesty Hector's offer. I don't want to move in the direction of aggressive marriage, so I want you to feel safe about that."

"... yes"

Pamela was not attached to her position.

If only we could live in peace and be safe.

But I don't feel bad about being asked to be in the main room like this.

As the next queen, she needs to be more aware of herself.

Lisa!

Huh!?

For some reason, Margaret called Lisa by her strong voice.

Not only Lisa, but also Isaac and the others were thrilled.

"You said, 'If Isaac marries Loretta and becomes the Third Lady, I might be in a slightly easier position.' You must have thought about it!"

Something, I'm not thinking about it.

"How long do you think we've been together?" I know your eyes are lying eyes! "

I'm sorry about that too!

Lisa apologized honestly.

But this time, it was bad.

Margaret doesn't forgive easily.

"You don't seem to be aware of where you stand yet. I'll talk to you later.”

"Please wait! As expected, being a queen can't be that easy! Hey!"

"Pamela thinks so, doesn't she?" Lisa's words stopped when she said it.

She was often forgotten because she was nearby, but she had been raised by the princess as much as possible.

Different from myself.

I knew it, but Lisa felt like she was left alone.

Pamela must have realized how Lisa felt.

Shows an unfortunate smile.

"Lisa will be fine." As a duchess, you've worked hard not to be embarrassed. Besides, there is not a chance to learn directly from someone like your mother-in-law. It's like being treated like royalty already. Let's do our best a little bit more. ”

"... that's right. I'll try my best"

With Pamela's persuasion, Lisa became a little more positive.

Lucia hasn't gotten used to it yet, so it'll take her a while to get used to it.

But even if she frustrates you, she has someone to support her.

You'll get up as many times as you want.

Well then, let's talk about preparedness in a separate room.

"Huh, from now on?" but..... "

Lisa looks at Isaac.

They may be asking for help.

“I still have work to do. I want you to listen to me a lot. I'm sure it'll be good for Lisa."

"Yes..."

Lisa left the room with Margaret in grief.

Lucia's opponent must have a hard time taking one-on-one lessons with her scary grandmother-in-law.

But Isaac abandoned Lisa for her own sake.

"Mother, please tell me a little bit so that Kendra doesn't get confused about the change of position as the King's sister." It must be tough just being Roland's fiancé, when Fred died and became the son of the Marquis of Wilmente. ”

"That's right. Roland is the heir to the Marquis of Wilmente..." I didn't think the situation would change so much in the last few months. I can't keep up with the situation. Kendra won't know much more. All right, I'll leave Kendra to you. "

Lucia also left and headed for Kendra.

When the door closes, Isaac confirms to Pamela.

Pamela, are you happy now?

What's the matter, suddenly?

Although he replied, Pamela answered Isaac's question, wondering if Loretta was influencing her.

"I'm happy. I don't really feel like becoming a mother yet..." Are you happy? ”

"I'm happy.... but it's not like I don't have any clouds." If I had assassinated Nicole before school, you would have been happy. [M] My selfishness has made me feel horrible. I regret that. "

"That's..."

Pamela couldn't even say, "That's not true."

Without Nicole, Jason might have been okay.

I would never have gone to the brink of execution.

Sure enough, I didn't want to think that Isaac hadn't touched Nicole.

“That's why I'll do my best to make you happy. Marriage to His Highness Loretta is also likely to be a factor in domestic strife, so I'll try to find a way to turn it down without making a wave. I want you to accept it as a way of loving me, not as an apology or an apology."

"Yes, you. I... think I'm happier than anyone to marry someone like you. I will do my best, so please be even happier.”

Of course I do.

The two of them smile.

Then I touched my stomach gently and imagined a bright future.
