The family returned the next morning.

As a result, Isaac was unable to consult immediately.

I have no choice but to do what I can now.

I gave Benjamin instructions first.

I was going to call representatives from the Russett Chamber of Commerce and other Chambers based in Wang Du that I had spoken about before.

Why not Norman, because he was drunk.

Isaac is a minor, so he was sent home first at the victory party.

So I've left Norman in the venue as a nominee.

Sometimes "instead of Isaac, who became Duke," so he tried to keep the liquor modest so as not to expose himself to ugliness, but he was advised around him and couldn't refuse.

Sometimes I just had to ask Benjamin because he doesn't seem to be in use today.

I used the Duke's seal for the first time in this letter of call.

Push next to the name sign.

Push as a seal wax to seal the letter.

I also felt like using it because I got it, so I decided to use it quickly.

The effect was immense.

"Let those who can talk important come to the mansion," but each chamber chairman, such as Kent of the Russett Chamber of Commerce, came straight away.

Isaac realizes the prestige of the Duke's family.

"Congratulations, Duke of Enfield. I am truly delighted that you have returned home safely. We're sorry, but we'll give you something to celebrate as soon as we're ready."

"Thank you.... Actually, I asked you for a favor."

- A favor from Isaac.

That was enough language to make the merchants' bodies strong.

Because I'm anxious to see what kind of favors they do.

But Isaac wasn't going to ask for anything difficult either.

"Actually, I want you to collect donations."

"Donation, is it?

The merchants face to face.

Because it was too ordinary for Isaac's demands.

"We mobilized a lot of troops in this war, but there was a defensive war in our allies, and we had no income at all. Therefore, I would like you to voluntarily (...) collect donations as a thank you for protecting the kingdom of Fatil and continuing to do business safely within the Kingdom of Lead."

"I see."

Isaac's demands are easy to understand.

I can't say "give it to me because I don't have any money" because I have a face, so I'm just asking you to give me money voluntarily.

"After the war, the strings of the nobles' purses hardened," they felt, well understanding Isaac's demands.

"Yes, I did. Shall we also provide a list of those who did not make a donation?

"No, you don't have to. However, it would be helpful if you could list the names and amounts of those who donated"

With Isaac's remarks, the merchants begin to believe rumors that Isaac has become gentle.

Listing only those who donated, I know those who did not donate under the erasure method.

However, daring to list those who donated does not penalize those who did not donate, but makes it clear that the intention is to reward those who donated one day.

That alone made me feel like making a voluntary donation.

"The Marquis Wellrod family can afford a deal with Dwarves, so make donations around other troop-contributing houses. I'll explain it to Lord Welrod."

"Yes, I did!

- Raise money on merchants for other houses that would be temporarily in need, not private personal greed.

It's not funny if you asked for money, but it's also an event that changes Isaac's impression that it just gave him fear.

If you think of it as an investment buying Isaac's pleasure, the donations here don't hurt.

For future investments, I was made to actively try to convince other chambers of commerce to make donations as well.

But, of course, Isaac doesn't worry about other houses and make donations.

The bounty from the royal family was a little short.

If Isaac works to make donations from the merchants, I'm sure the nobles will thank Isaac.

The matter can also be seen from Count Lancaster's borrowing of money from Isaac.

This was the first step towards a future in which to act for the first time since becoming Duke.

----------

The family was resurrected from drunkenness when it was evening.

So Isaac tries to talk to someone he might rely on about Lisa.

- The opponent is Margaret.

It divides things within the family, and I know a lot about aristocratic society.

Because I have experience and knowledge, I chose my grandmother as the person to talk to.

When I visited her room, she seemed spicy that she hadn't completely lost her booze yet, but she welcomed Isaac with pleasure.

"Actually, I need to talk to you, would you mind?

"Yeah, sure. But I don't know if I can answer your question well."

Margaret's words are sincere.

Some of her worried about "what she could answer to Isaac, who climbed up to the Duke with strength".

But Isaac had something to talk to someone about, and I decided to ask because I thought it would make Isaac feel easier just to hear it.

"Actually, Lisa, it's about your sister..., Lisa." I was sweet about my position as a milk sister and brother. Don't call me your sister anymore '. The fact that I became Duke made me feel distant. [M] I asked you to call me Lisa like any other servant...... is there any way we can get along as usual?

Asked what Isaac wanted to talk to him about, Margaret had a point.

"Well, you finally understand the difference."

"... you noticed."

Upon hearing Margaret's reply, he realized that Isaac had been made aware that he had "allowed Lisa to speak in a familiar manner".

She laughs couscous.

"When we talked about Kendra and Roland's engagement. I was trying to convince you, and suddenly I thought it was pathetic to imitate you, so I kept silent."

Lisa is not only a milk sister brother to Isaac, she is also a valuable childhood tamer.

Following Patrick, I also know how lonely it is to be distant to Lisa.

- And Margaret also knew that the cause was on her.

Originally, it wasn't weird for Isaac to have a boyfriend or anything from an early age.

But because I was pushing Nathan, Isaac doesn't have many friends, just girlfriends.

It's not hard to imagine that it would be resistant to treat Lisa suddenly as a servant in such a situation.

Margaret "if not in public," had allowed Isaac to talk to Lisa the way she had always spoken so she wouldn't miss her.

"That's how the day was supposed to come to understand the difference in position. Even if you are not the Duke, you will one day inherit the Marquis Welrod family. There is a clear difference of position. You can't stay a child forever."

"I know. I know......... is there any way I can manage there?

Isaac also intends to understand the difference in position.

But this is how I come to talk to you because I can't give up easily.

If you'd given up your good personality, you'd have already forgotten about Pamela.

To Isaac's request, Margaret presents one answer.

"If you can't stay a child, you just have to grow up"

"I don't like that adult relationship, so I'm talking to my wife."

"That's not what I meant."

Margaret takes a serious look.

"You don't like to call me 'Lisa' just like your servant, do you? Then you just have to call it 'Lisa' in a different way (...)"

"Does that mean something different?

I don't know what my grandmother meant by her words, and Isaac puts her neck up.

When I saw her, Margaret's cheeks burst.

"There's something you don't know either. Just call people names. But you do know that means a lot to you, don't you? So you just have to be a new relationship where Lisa can call you differently, not a servant named Kendra's nanny, either"

"Is it a new relationship…"

That being said, it doesn't come pinned.

In the first place, I couldn't understand because I didn't know what relationship to enter into.

After seeing how Isaac was doing, Margaret decided to teach him, "I don't know what else to do."

"For example, if you take Lisa as your concubine."

"What! Why is that happening!

To Margaret's remarks, Isaac is surprised to see her eyes wide open.

I was listening to the flying idea and staring at my grandmother with the eyes that I couldn't believe it.

In contrast to Isaac, Margaret has a calm attitude.

"Even if I were to call you Lisa, it would mean something different for a servant and a concubine, wouldn't it? We can talk intimately."

"But I'm just going to be a concubine..."

Concubine is not uncommon in this world, but it is not much recommended.

Putting Lisa in an unfair position for herself was a thought-provoking thought.

"Then make it your fiancée? You won't be able to make it a First Lady, but a Second Lady, a Third Lady, will be fine. You said Lisa was cute, too, so there won't be a problem."

Margaret was the first to say, "Why don't you make it a concubine?" I brought it up to make it easier to accept the "Second Lady" story.

This is not something "I considered it because Lisa wanted to marry Isaac".

I was worried about Isaac.

Isaac still has no sign that his fiancée will decide.

If he stays unmarried in the future as he is, he may end up in a situation where Isaac's children will not be born.

In the meantime, I wanted to thank Lisa for not hating Isaac. I wanted to secure an insurance policy that says "I have someone to marry".

In that regard, Lisa was a convenient opponent.

I'm not scared of Isaac, I'm close.

Besides, since you seem to understand your position, you shouldn't stand up for the First Lady and assert yourself.

Nor would Isaac want to force Lisa to be the First Lady.

It shouldn't be a distorted relationship like Lucia and Melinda.

For Margaret, too, it would be better if those who do not scorn themselves became Isaac's daughter-in-law.

Having had that idea, I decided to put Lisa as Isaac's Lady candidate.

"But isn't it also going to matter what the will of the person is?

"What are you talking about? She told you. You must be willing enough. The rest depends on what you think."

Isaac was entrusted with his last choice.

But even in this situation, Isaac couldn't decide.

"But I'm worried that someone who will be the First Lady in the future will hate me for saying, 'I have a Second Lady for a long time before I get engaged'"

"... who does the First Lady's opponent assume?

Margaret remained smiling, but her eyes were cold out.

If I'm going to say "It's Pamela," I don't know how you're going to react.

So Isaac speaks the answer without difficulty.

"There will be factional balance, etc., but I'm wondering if it's around Amanda"

Name Amanda most likely in relation to the title.

Judith and Janet are better for my taste, but they have a fiancée.

So now I still couldn't name it.

You convinced me of this answer, Margaret's gaze softened.

"Yes, then you'll be fine. She is also the daughter of the Marquis. I've been given the Duke's position, and I'm thinking about the possibility that you might have a couple of wives."

Margaret's words were something that would push Isaac's back, who wanted a harem state.

But things aren't the same as when I was a kid.

The others have also understood that they are people who live and have emotions in this world.

It still shouldn't be funny to be able to look at other women.

That thing hooked me up somewhere in my heart, and I said to Isaac, "Well, I'll make Lisa the Second Lady!" He didn't let me answer instantly.

"You don't have to decide right now. I want to get along with Lisa. If you don't want to be treated as a servant, just bear in mind that there are options like that. You might come up with some other good ideas over time."

"Yes, I'll be careful not to act in a hurry."

This is not the kind of problem where they say, "You can make Lisa a second lady," and you can give an answer right away.

Now that you have the option of building a new relationship, you should be happy that you have a vision for the future.

- Much better than having a relationship that feels like a wall between an employer and a servant.

Isaac was just beginning to think that way.
