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

It's been a week since I talked to my grandfather about Pamela.

In the meantime, I'd been seeing candidates for friends, so the week wasn't long.

I'm playing with Patrick in the garden now.

Because I'm running out of time to play with Patrick because I'm meeting with a candidate friend.

Patrick has been Isaac's friend for a long time, although some might say "just a dog".

I'm not going to leave you alone because you've made human friends.

I sew between them and make time for them to play.

There Morgan came to inform Isaac of the results.

"Three days later, I'm taking you to the Marquis Windsor house"

"Thank you!

Isaac was honestly pleased with this news.

If Pamela hadn't thought about Isaac, she wouldn't have been able to book a meeting.

With this news alone, Isaac's heart plays.

See how it goes, Morgan panics.

"Wait, they just told me I could let them see me. I haven't heard what Pamela thinks. It could be a joy."

"Still. It's enough now to meet and talk."

I say that in my mouth, but I can't help but be happy inside.

I just couldn't wait until I enrolled in college.

I'm honestly glad to see you this way, though for a good reason.

"Look, Pamela is His Highness Jason's fiancée. Stop friends no matter how close you get. I can never marry more than I'm engaged to Your Highness. No, I'm not even allowed to think about getting married before then. Don't forget that."

"Yes, I know very well"

'Cause Jason's breaking up his engagement, so there's no problem.

Pamela will be free if Jason discards his engagement.

No one can stop me from confessing to her when I'm free.

Totally free.

There are also strict conditions under which she must be protected because she will be sentenced to execution at that time.

One day we have to figure out how to do that too.

"Hey, Isaac."

Morgan speaks with a serious look.

"Again, why don't you and Amanda from the Marquis Wallick family get engaged? If you have a fiancée, you'll see things differently. Pamela's not the only woman."

- Isaac keeps thinking about Pamela.

Morgan, worried about it, cut out Amanda's engagement.

I'd rather you look forward and find a new love than keep falling in love that doesn't come true.

That's what Morgan suggested about Amanda.

"I know. I appreciate your concern, but wait till you graduate from college."

"Until graduation..."

Morgan thinks a little.

"Let me tell you something, it's hard to find someone like Randolph who can get married in love."

"I know, sir"

"By the time you graduate, your voice will have grown. Could Lord Bridget be my wife?"

"That's not true."

Isaac flatly denied Morgan's fears.

"... a beautiful daughter though"

"I won't judge you by your face alone. Besides, as a person, I can favor you, but I don't see Mr. Bridget as the person to marry. If she becomes the Marquis, she'll have a hard time."

"Um, well... If you understand that kind of thing."

Recently, Bridget and I seem to be close, so I thought, "Isn't Isaac thinking of Bridget as a candidate for marriage?" Morgan was worried.

Marrying an elf's daughter is just too much of an obstacle.

Better yet to be told "I fell in love with a civilian daughter".

Because it would only be nice to welcome him as a concubine.

It's a good thing there's no sign of it, but that's why I'm so obsessed with Pamela.

I'm really worried about you.

"Even if I see Pamela, it's like I'm getting too hot"

"Yes."

Morgan walked away when he pounded Isaac on the head.

"Well, can I see Pamela..."

I haven't seen her in five years.

It's not in my past life that I felt that way.

I couldn't help but look forward to three days later.

Patrick hangs his forefoot on Isaac's belly and licks Isaac's face.

Because Isaac looked happy for a long time.

"Damn, your face is a mess."

While complaining, Isaac hugged Patrick.

Patrick keeps licking his face in the meantime.

It's a pleasure to have someone who will be happy with us like this.

From now on, there should be more human boy friends.

Still, I'm sure it won't change that Patrick is my best friend.

----------

After playing with his best friends, Isaac meets his worst friends (candidates).

This time he was a friend of Nathan's, a kid his age.

Norman is also present for Isaac's safety as we deal with the four of them collectively.

"Hey, you've come a lot. I'm glad you didn't think everyone would be here today."

Isaac's face is laughing but his eyes are not laughing.

Because the children sitting in the front turn their hostile gaze.

(Well, I would if my own friend was killed...)

Isaac thought so, but that's about half the reason they stare.

I'm still young, but I understand that Nathan was a great successor.

And I was also explained and understood by my parents how delicious the position of "friends of the Lord of one generation after another" was.

They resented Isaac for burying their glorious future with Nathan.

But Isaac doesn't know anything about them.

I resent the murder of my friend and think I'm staring at myself.

So at first, I was going to be kind to you.

I didn't want to come.

"Why do I have to be your friend?"

"My parents had to tell me. I wouldn't have come."

"Yes, yes, yes."

They speak of dissatisfaction.

See how it goes, Norman wolves.

But Isaac is not angry.

(Children are not guilty. It's the way parents are raised.)

- Nathan is great, Isaac is not great.

- And I was Nathan's friend. I'm in a better position.

Even if I had assumed it that way, I had received that I could not help but take myself lightly.

Even if Nathan was higher, Isaac, who draws the Marquis' blood, couldn't be inferior to them.

I was forgiving them for not having a solid education yet, and for not being able to make a blind eye.

"Well, don't say that. I'm not trying to get along, but I want to avoid fighting."

"My hipster!

One of the boys told me to throw up.

He is Kai, grandson of Viscount Maxwell, deputy at Alster.

And that's not all.

Kai is a boy that Isaac once made a "deduction target".

Even now...

"Nathan and I are playing duel cocksuckers. You can't just play with a woman, can you?

- I remember being told.

But that's it.

Isaac now makes his position as his successor a solid one.

From now on, he was coming to the stage of proving his vessel as one who stood above man.

Not if you're upset with your child.

In an effort to respond sparingly, Isaac had decided before meeting with them.

"It doesn't matter if you lose your back or not. Two dead men, my brother and Mrs. Melinda, are enough. I want to avoid contention."

"That's what you're saying. You're just trying to escape."

"I'm not going to be friends with a guy with a mouthful."

"It's not a good dialogue the guy who killed you said."

"Show sincerity, show sincerity"

…………

Isaac tried to get things done in peace.

But unfortunately, that thought doesn't seem to convey.

(I tried to make it easy on you because you're a kid, but you're a kid at best... You need to make yourself clear first)

Isaac switched policies early.

- Say Gatsun first, then speak gently.

Because I thought if it wasn't that way, you wouldn't be listening properly.

Isaac is also in trouble as it is now, but it also affects their future.

I ghosted my heart for them and thought I'd tell them where I stood.

"In the meantime, let's talk while we eat some sweets. It's a treat Alexis made for everyone."

Isaac eats one sweet first to make it easier for them to eat.

Seeing that, they also began to reach out and eat thoughtful treats.

"Don't think you can fool around with the sweets."

"I know."

Isaac watched Nico and them eat.

And then I open my mouth when I see each one of them finished eating one serving of sweets.

"By the way, do you know Jude, who was the previous head of the Marquis Welrod family?

"Of course not. It's like riding in kingdom history."

"I'm sure Nathan would have been as good as Jude."

When he heard the words, Isaac was relieved.

After all, my great-grandfather was a famous man, for better or worse.

That makes it easier to do it.

"So, do you know that you invited someone to dinner and poisoned Grandpa Soo who didn't want (...)?

This is a famous story.

Jude made those who harm the kingdom marry their daughters, and poisoned their own daughters.

It is just unusual and widely known to poison each of your own daughters.

The question was, why was the story here now?

"Ogeye"

Kai reacted first.

He stuck his finger in his throat and smashed what he had eaten on the take-up plate.

Seeing that, the other three try to spit it out as well.

"Oh, man, that's dirty."

"You bastard, you were going to kill me!

Kai blames Isaac.

He doesn't look like he's been beaten up.

But with adult Norman, it also seemed calm enough not to beat him up.

"I don't mean to."

"Let them eat poisoned treats. What are you talking about!

"It's not poisoned."

"Oh my God!

Isaac answered with a calm voice as he tried.

But Kai doesn't seem convinced.

The other children are lost with their fingers in their mouths whether to spit them out or not.

"I just talked about Grandpa Soo. You just made a mistake."

"You'd think it was poisoned if they told you that story!

"Why?"

"Why, well..."

- Because we hate Isaac.

Kai noticed that.

And the other kids.

That means "while you hate Isaac, you have to keep feeling life-threatening".

It means that Isaac must be frightened, smaller, and live each and every step of the way.

"It's still okay now. But I don't want it to happen when I grow up and I'm acting as a lord, or when I have to think about the future. Oh, yeah, yeah. Remember, your house was only missed because of my enthusiasm."

Isaac laughs nicely.

I'm not really going to crush their house.

The only house in a row was one very close to Melinda.

I don't have a house that I crushed just because I was close to my kids.

That was because there was a risk that governance in the territory would become unstable.

So this is just blackmail.

But it was effective enough for them.

"Duh, how do I..."

That's where Kai's words get clogged.

- How can I be forgiven?

I was going to hear those words.

I guess what I couldn't say until the end was that his pride wouldn't have allowed it.

Isaac sees their rebellion as shattered, this time reaching out for salvation.

"Like I said, we don't need to get along. I just want to avoid fighting. I know you guys might have something to think about, but I hope you keep it at a reasonable distance without going away. You don't have to be charming. If you don't want people to ask you, you can speak ill of me in your company. [M] But I just want you to stop being so overtly hostile. That's all. Can you do that?

I don't suddenly say "obey yourself" or anything like that.

"Don't take an attitude that you don't like yourself" in public, making demands within what seems acceptable to them.

This request was not a bad one.

Kai faces the other children.

"That's about it, well..."

"Me neither..."

"Me too..."

"If we don't have to get along..."

The other kids agree to the terms of this one.

- They killed my friend.

- I lost my status as Nathan's friend.

There's something I don't like about that sentiment: "Do you risk your own life to remain anti-Isaac? If they ask," it makes it harder to be mean.

Because I somehow felt something called "death" because I saw Nathan and Melinda die.

Besides, unlike old times, Isaac had become mighty.

If you feel like it, you are in an easy position to take the lives of them and their families.

Even a child understood that it was not a good idea to defy any more.

"Thank you. I won't reject you for getting along, so I want you to think about it from now on. Change your plate for him."

Isaac orders the maid to replace the dishes.

Luckily, it's just a chunk of the sweets I ate, and I haven't even got stomach fluids.

Replaced with a spare plate, Kai is gently wiped down his mouth.

"Come on, let's talk about it lightly"

Isaac said so in a bright voice as to change the air in the field.

Kai and I ended up introducing ourselves and having a light chat.

I dropped them off and Norman spoke to Isaac as he tried to get back to the mansion.

"Dear Isaac, may I have a moment?

"What?"

Norman has a serious look.

Isaac also stares into Norman's eyes with a serious look, I guess he has an important story to tell.

"Until now, I've been anxious to help Master Isaac. But the fact that I was present today gave me my resolve. I pledge my allegiance to Master Isaac."

I used to talk to him about "Pledge allegiance to yourself, not the Marquis of Wellrod".

That is a thankful offer.

"Thanks. But can you tell me why you thought that?

"I shut them up brilliantly, rebellious. But that method is not very praiseworthy. What Isaac needed today was not 'because it's a role' when he said and acted radically, but 'we need someone who is prepared and ready'. You may not be able to make any great suggestions, but in general you can make progress on what to do, etc. Aren't they in need of those people?

"... yes, you're right"

Isaac can be radical.

Even today.

I tried to have a moderate discussion because I was dealing with a child, and I ended up using the means of threatening him.

That's when I said, "That's a mistake," and I wanted someone to point out my mistake.

If Norman is going to play that role, he's going to wish or fulfill it.

Nevertheless, it caught me when I was told I needed to be prepared to be careful.

"Can I ask for it?

"I'll take care of it"

Norman made up his mind.

Isaac rejoiced in the matter, and the two shook hands firmly.

I could also attach an appointment to meet with Pamela, and today was a good day for Isaac.
