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

Interaction with the Fae seemed like a good experience for kids.

Even though it was just a chat, Paul and Raymond seemed to enjoy talking.

The elves also said, "Maybe you have some thoughts? Unlike the adults you have to worry about," it was a good change of mood for them too, because kids can talk easily.

When seen in the innocent gaze of a child, those who feel good will serve.

He was entertaining Paul and Raymond using magic such as putting out fire on his hands.

At the end of the chat with the elves, they went home to spare no remnants.

Claude headed back to say hello after about two hours.

"What's wrong, Claude? It was too late."

An elf woman asks a question to Claude, who was late to return for a greeting.

"Oh, kind of. Isaac, Lord Randolph wants to see you. Go on."

"Huh! What the hell would I tell you if I did!

Nor has Isaac ever done anything to Randolph.

I used to send a bouquet of flowers with a few letters.

But just a letter with a word of "thank you," I never met him.

I couldn't help but wonder why I suddenly changed my mind.

"I lost my wife and I have no children. You're right around the corner. I don't know what it feels like not to talk about it."

Surely it would be a shock to see his wife and son killed.

But Isaac is his own child, too.

If there's been a mistake, we can discuss it carefully for that matter.

Claude could not understand that contact was deliberately discontinued.

So he said to Randolph, "You should talk to Isaac."

Randolph couldn't be a "father" either. I guess there was something to think about when I heard Claude say it.

Looks like you made up your mind to face Isaac.

If there's a problem, it's Isaac.

All sorts of things I was going to talk about when I met her have suddenly fallen out of my mind.

I'm not ready yet.

But still an opportunity to blame.

I don't know when I'll be next if I miss this.

Decide on your stomach to just go.

"Okay. I'm coming. Thank you. You all take your time. I beg your pardon."

When Isaac told the elves a word, he headed to his father's room.

"I don't know what's going on, but I'm gonna put you in a human cage."

One of the elves spoke to Claude with a voice that would tear him up.

"I'm being looked after in this house. Besides, I felt terrible watching it beside me. That's why I talked to him a little bit when I said hello."

"Heh.... isn't it time for you to remarry too?

"I think I want kids...... I wish I had someone nice."

"You're always that"

Claude is also about to live a new life.

But I haven't found anyone to make me forget my late wife.

Randolph has lost his beloved wife and son, but he has another set of wives that will heal his grief.

Because of that, I had put my shoulder in when I met Randolph.

----------

Isaac knocks on Randolph's room door.

It's Isaac.

"Oh,... come on in"

From across the door, I can hear my long-time father.

(What should I look like and see you...)

When he came here, Isaac began to hesitate to meet with Randolph.

I was hoping to see you, but I don't know what face to look like.

(No, I'll see you for now. Then let's think)

Isaac opened the door thoughtfully.

Because I thought if we looked each other in the face, we'd figure something out.

My father stepped in for me.

I didn't miss that opportunity and Isaac decided to take it one step further.

When I opened the door, Randolph was sitting on the couch.

When I glanced at Isaac for a moment, I looked away at him casually.

He also has trouble seeing his son for about a year and how he looks at him.

The feelings were the same for each other.

"Father, it's been a while. Looking good, above all."

"Oh, and Isaac."

Randolph gets the impression that his cheeks are spilled a little, but his body looks fine.

(Is that true, too? My lower body (...) was fine.)

It was a mental illness, not a physical illness.

So it was also possible to bring Kendra to life in Lucia.

When I think about it, I learn to be a little annoyed.

(No, no, you should be happy to see me like this. Yes, I'm glad my father is feeling better)

Isaac reconsidered that way.

Five more years old, if I was getting older, I would have rattled my lower body and said one or two disgusts.

But I'm only ten now.

Because I didn't really want to touch that kind of stuff.

"Sit there."

Randolph pointed to the couch opposite him.

It was the corner.

Isaac sits there for the most part.

Randolph then sat in the corner opposite Isaac.

Across the center table, the two take the form of sitting on a diagonal line.

Randolph explained that Isaac was wondering about it.

"Just in case. My emotions are high and I don't want to punch you..."

"Really..."

After all, it doesn't seem to be perfect yet.

Still, they're healing to the point where they can take care of it for Isaac.

(I guess Claude suddenly prepared a situation. We didn't try to prepare our minds for each other to discuss. But I didn't have the incentive to tell you it wasn't even an opportunity like this...)

I want to do something about my relationship with my father.

But there was no trigger for that.

Whatever the outcome, Isaac thought Claude should be thanked.

"I wanted to talk to your father about a lot of things. But what do I tell you from? It's flying out of my head... I'm sorry I killed Mrs. Melinda and her brother."

With Isaac's apology, Randolph looks sad.

"I am also responsible for that...... I'm sorry."

How many glitches were there before I admitted it?

Unlike right after the incident, there was no way to blame Isaac.

Seeing how my father was doing, Isaac decided to ask a step-by-step question.

"Speaking of responsibility...... Why did you marry Mrs. Melinda? If you liked your mother, didn't you need a second one? Because of that, we have a spark of problems in the home."

"Ah, ah...... Well, that's a long story."

"I don't mind. Let me hear it."

This is very important.

Depending on the content, it can result in decisive cracks in parent-child relationships.

However, Isaac may be able to walk away if he is satisfied with the content.

I can make as much time as I want to discuss, even if it's somewhat longer.

I didn't want to waste any time discussing it and wasting a long time ahead of me.

Randolph was lost.

How far can I tell my child?

But I also thought nothing would change if we didn't talk.

Never open your mouth.

"Melinda was..., my first love"

"Huh!?

Isaac shouts his surprise at Randolph's unexpected confession.

Seeing that reaction, Randolph continues his explanation.

"Nothing, like you, I didn't fall in love at first sight. At first......, in the present circumstances it was like you and Amanda at the Marquis Wallick"

"What do you mean?

"I'm not your fiancée. But it's a relationship that seems to look good from all around."

"Ah......"

Isaac has no fiancée.

That's with Amanda, who was disengaged.

Isaac also understands that it doesn't seem strange for the same Marquis family to be engaged to each other.

Morgan also thinks that "engaging Amanda isn't a bad thing in itself” without an appointment with Isaac.

So does Marquis Wallick.

I asked the Marquis Welrod family, who are the same person, "How about Amanda?" and was selling in.

That's what the parties think.

I should have thought the same about my surroundings.

But Isaac didn't know how the matter related to his first love.

Shut up, Randolph kept talking.

"My grandfather was looking for someone to marry politically, so I had no fiancée. That goes for Melinda, too. She was by the Marquis Wilmente unable to decide on a fiancée for when my fiancée was undecided. I made Melinda aware of me as a leading fiancée candidate (...). And then I started to realize it as heterosexual."

Randolph remembers Melinda, or he weeps from both eyes.

Not the shocking way Isaac met Pamela.

I took the time and slowly became aware of them.

And so was love, I guess.

"But, Father. I hear Mrs. Melinda was planning to marry a foreign royal family. Were you aware of someone like that?

Isaac hits Randolph with questions.

This question also came back to me.

Isaac himself is "aware of Pamela, who plans to marry a prince of his own country," so I can't say anything about people.

But still, I couldn't help but ask.

"Melinda had not originally decided on a fiancée. It was only after the end of the war that Prince Garrett of the Kingdom of Rockwell was decided to be engaged. Do you know about the battle your grandfather died in?

"We know that the eastern kingdom of Fartil died in a battle that was attacked by the eastern kingdom of Rockwell even further."

The Kingdom of Rockwell and the Kingdom of Fartil were originally one nation.

But two hundred years ago the war divided us into two countries.

That makes it a distorted relationship.

The Kingdom of Rockwell is a country rich in underground resources such as iron ore.

However, food production is low.

The whole country relies heavily on imports of food by selling iron and other underground resources, like the Wallic Marquis Territory.

The Kingdom of Fatil was a country with high food production with little underground resources but a fertile earth.

The times when it was originally one country were good, but the division into two parts made it a country with extreme characteristics.

Since the country was divided, the Kingdom of Rockwell has repeatedly attacked the Kingdom of Fatil in search of a stable supply of food.

Jude died in the war when he went to arbitrate a war about fifteen years ago.

"At that time, he said, the upper echelons of the country were quite confused. Grandpa was an amazing man. He suddenly disappeared and seemed in trouble. So someone thought of sending Melinda as Prince Garrett's fiancée not only to reconcile with the Kingdom of Rockwell, but also to forge a friendly relationship."

"Aren't you usually a princess or something?

I don't know why Melinda was chosen. Isaac asks.

Though the daughter of a leading Marquis, she is the daughter of a minister.

It is incomparable with royalty.

"Because Melinda's maternal grandmother was a princess. You didn't know that? No, you didn't tell me..."

Did Randolph think for himself, too?

Or because Morgan or Margaret told you to?

I realized that I had forgotten to teach my child all sorts of things.

Start explaining so Isaac can understand.

"Do you know that basically up to three generations can be called relatives?

"Yes, I've read that in a book."

The Marquis of Wellrod also welcomed a princess five generations ago.

But I'm not saying I'm drawing royal blood.

Because it's been over three generations already.

The aristocratic society seems vast and narrow.

After five hundred years, everyone becomes a distant relative in the aristocratic society.

Since when was it not specified, but after about three generations there was a tide that would stop calling me a relative.

It was also because of the lack of relatives in the Wellrod family, which is supposed to be the Marquis.

Of course, if you are close, you may continue to hang out with each other as friends.

In the case of the Marquis Wellrod family, Jude broke everything, so there was no such house in particular.

"A daughter of my age and a daughter who draws blood from royalty without a fiancée. Only Melinda fitted that condition. So she was sent to the Kingdom of Rockwell as a sign of harmony and friendship...... After that. I met Lucia."

Talk quietly Randolph.

Naturally, Isaac also hears that he misses hearing in a serious way.

But there was also the embarrassment of "I don't want to hear it for a second" to ask my parents about their taming.

"Melinda was gone, and I missed her at first. Maybe you're missing someone you thought you might marry. But when Melinda disappeared and looked around, there was a nice woman. That's Lucia. When I thought there were some women like this, my heart immediately became attracted to them. Now I love Lucia the most. I'm not lying about that."

(See, I knew it...)

If this were my friend, it would still be good.

I'm filled with embarrassment listening, such as meeting my own parents.

"Tell me that first," Isaac hoped in his heart.

"I had no fiancée. It is an unusual thing to retrieve the Marquis. The matchmaker in his/her capacity has had a fiancée since he/she was a child. Especially in my case, there were no older daughters left in the house more than the Count's because Melinda was prominent. So my father also allowed me to marry Lucia. I didn't think Melinda was coming back."

"I heard they bought my anger, broke my engagement, and sent me back...... You've often thought about taking Mrs. Melinda back."

- Why don't you and Amanda get engaged?

When Marquis Wallick made such an offer, Morgan cited it as one of the reasons he turned down "it's bad publicity to fiancée his daughter, who has just been divested of her engagement".

Isaac had a question about whether the world was too bad, such as his daughter, who was sent back to another country for friendship.

"Originally, Prince Garrett had a fiancé. It seems that Melinda broke in between the prince and her fiancée, causing a lot of problems. He said the prince unilaterally slapped Melinda for breaking her engagement. You thought this was bad for accepting the terms, too, and the King of Rockwell didn't send you a word of protest.... Melinda seemed really spicy back in Reed Kingdom after graduating from the Rockwell Kingdom Academy."

Does Randolph remember the time, he closes his eyes and looks up to heaven?

Isaac also had a little sympathy for Melinda's situation.

He moved to a country far away from the person he thought he was going to marry and was sent back to Reid Kingdom by his fiancée's hand.

Besides, Randolph was already married to Lucia when he got back.

"Why are you looking at me like this," it would be natural to be depressed.

"Worried about Melinda, who is also distracted by the Marquis Wilmente, he has hung on to me whether to marry Melinda or not. Originally, we were aware of each other as fiancées. He is also my first love. I would have taken care of it if I had. And..."

"And?"

"More wives, more families. I wanted a family."

(... what are you talking about, this guy?

I forget that Isaac is my father, and I call him "this guy" in my heart.

But there's no choice.

(With more daughters-in-law, there will be more family.)

Isaac would still be more convinced to say, "I wanted to make a harem surrounded by beautiful girls”.

I wasn't convinced by the reason of "more family".

But I could hear and understand Randolph's story.

"Father didn't mind me. My mother took care of me a lot, but I'm afraid there's something I don't know about, like my grandfather. So I wanted to create a family where we could all laugh and live... It's just that..."

Randolph begins to cry.

Where did you hang the wrong button?

I couldn't make a family the way he wanted.

(That's me...... Not bad, huh?

For a moment, Isaac set himself up for reflection, but stopped reflecting when he realized that his father's responsibility was heavy.

"If you had given birth to me first, I think the general problem would have been solved..."

Margaret, who just had a lot to think about, would have done everything in her power to educate Lucia as the Marquis' wife if Lucia had had had a boy first.

For a nobleman whose firstborn inheritance is fundamental, the position of mother of the firstborn is so strong.

The order in which you have children should have been most careful.

"Because... it's pathetic to marry only Melinda..."

Hearing the words, Isaac had a few thoughts.

(Oh, well. This is what it was like not to be educated as a man's nobleman)

My father is kind.

As a person, I think I can respect it.

In Japan, you would have lived a happy life if you had been careful with the con artists.

But this is not Japan.

A world with aristocratic societies swirling in numbers of manipulations.

Moreover, sometimes the Marquis is the center of a conspiracy.

It felt that there was a greater difference in readiness as a nobleman than in ability.

Let's try to get to the point where we welcome Melinda to my wife.

In that case, instead of treating Lucia the same way because she's pathetic, she should have shown her pavilion lead white that "pavilion owner is me" and taught her the sequence of clarity and wife.

- Prioritizing Lucia is clear.

- Let Lucia have the child first, too.

- I won't let my parents intervene by saying that I have an idea of my own.

If I could have done that, things would have changed.

Even with Margaret's push, Melinda might not have thought "Nathan as her successor," or anything else, but devoted herself to loving Randolph.

The lack of rigour prevented Lucia from beating Melinda and allowed Margaret to intervene.

(But you're not 100% responsible for Dad, are you?)

It's Morgan's fault for not educating Randolph if he traces it back, and it's Jude's fault for scaring Morgan into contact with his children.

Randolph's responsibilities are heavy, but it's hard to tell how far to pursue them.

"I didn't want to kill Mrs. Melinda or my brother either. But if you're about to be deprived of your life or your successor's status, you just have to do it again. I want you to know that."

Isaac is not lying.

If I hadn't gotten in the way of my ambition, I wouldn't have had to kill you.

I'm just not saying, "I tried to kill myself because I was in the way, I created legitimacy, and I killed him".

"I know. I know. I let them both die because I was impudent. I got my hands dirty on you."

With that said, Randolph began to cry.

I talked to Isaac and looked back at my impudence.

I've been crying for the past year, but I still haven't been able to get past the deaths of the two of them.

(I don't understand my father's grief...)

Isaac hasn't killed anyone close to him yet.

Even in my previous life, I died before my parents.

It's the side that made me sad, rather than sad.

I couldn't agree with Randolph's depth of grief.

Still, parents are parents.

If I was a parent like Jude, I would have left the room silently, but Randolph wasn't.

Isaac stood up and sat next to his father.

Randolph realizes that Isaac sat next to him and tries to get up and leave.

To be emotional and not to act violent towards Isaac.

But Isaac took Randolph's hand.

"It just makes it a little easier for me to be around someone when I'm sad, when it's hard. I taught that to your sister, Lisa. Your mother would be better off, but now I need you to bear with me."

"I can't believe I'm patient..."

Randolph re-sits and hugs Isaac hard.

"I still need to talk to your father. In the meantime, why don't we just have a meal together from now on?

"Right. Sorry, sorry..."

Randolph hugged Isaac and kept apologizing over and over as he cried.

He was an impudent father, and he was making my child struggle.

I won't forget about Melinda or Nathan.

But Isaac's a cute kid, too.

I'm reflecting on what kept me away.

It is Isaac who is reflecting.

(I don't know...... sorry I'm not a normal kid)

If Isaac was a normal child, Nathan would have been the successor in due course.

Unless you are reborn with previous life's knowledge......

If I wasn't an ambitious child, I wouldn't have been in this situation.

It still makes me feel stronger that I am “a foreign body in this world”.

(Let's think about the little difficult things in time. Now it's full of things in front of me)

Isaac cuddles back his father's body.

This was the best I could do right now.
