When I plugged it in the middle of August.

Isaac received a call from the royal palace.

- The business is about "Engagement with Loretta Fartil".

(I should have said no... No, I didn't say no clearly)

You shouldn't decide when your injury is healing or winning a war and you're under tension.

That's what I think I said and said no to the detour.

Because of that, now, more than six months after the war, they may have thought it was a good time.

(If I say no clearly, the corners stand, and it was a difficult place. But I wish I had said it properly)

I regret saying no in vague terms.

But it's too late to regret it now.

Apparently, the messenger is here, so I just have to properly communicate my will to that messenger.

Isaac never turns to the royal palace.

This time I'm heading to the royal palace in the position of Duke of Enfield, so my parents are not accompanied.

As it concerns foreign affairs, the Foreign Minister's grandfather is supposed to be present.

When you rendezvous with Morgan at the Royal Palace, you head to Elias.

----------

"Isaac Welrod Enfield. I'm here now."

"I've been waiting for you. Sit down."

"Ha, excuse me"

I am exempt from my duty as a nobleman, but it does not mean that I can speak out in the wind, such as "ooh-ooh".

It doesn't change that politeness must be observed as a person simply because they are not assigned a job or forced to do so.

Be polite first.

When Isaac and Morgan sit down, water with ice is released.

"The refrigerator made the hot season a little easier. You gave me something good."

Elias drinks only one sip of water.

To make it easier for guests to drink by having their mouths spoken first.

"If His Majesty is of service, that is the joy for His Highness"

Isaac also took a sip of the water after using the stomach.

(Have you been drinking cold drinks since you left Claude or Bridget)

I'm going to drink cockroaches over my long comfortable throat, but I'm going to put up with that because they're going to tell me it's nasty.

- It's a cold drink.

But all that beverage seemed so luxurious.

I've been impressed since Bridget made me my first cold fruit.

Even though it hasn't been six months since I broke up with them, I seem loving about their existence.

It makes me want you back soon.

"Well, are you listening?

I was thinking about Isaac's comfortable life, and Elias just tries to get to the point.

"Yes. It's about His Highness Loretta, isn't it?"

"That's right. It's important, so let's be frank. Are you willing to get engaged?

Elias asked a straight question.

Because Morgan's supposed to be hearing about the terms of the engagement.

"Your Majesty has done well, and I have yet to give back anything. Just because we had a good friendship doesn't mean we're going to switch countries that serve lightly."

Isaac unequivocally affirmed.

The terms of Loretta's engagement were excellent.

· Welcome Isaac as the king of one generation after another.

-Loretta is not the only one, if anyone likes it, she can welcome her favorite daughter from the royal family to the side room additionally.

There were other favourable conditions in terms of money, etc., but these two were particularly noticeable from Isaac's eyes.

It's an unlikely treat in Isaac's previous life.

But I decided to say no with the thought of getting my hair pulled back.

The reason is simple.

- Because it would be more beneficial to take over the Reid Kingdom.

Lead Kingdom is a bigger country.

Economically, it's more attractive than the war-torn kingdom of Fatil.

Plus, I'm getting to the point where I'm going to be able to take over thanks to Nicole.

If you feel like it, you might be able to make the kingdom of Fatil your own later.

Even if you don't bother to get engaged to Loretta, it's not a dream to have the kingdom of Fatil in your hands.

Sometimes, however, I find the path to becoming a king safe and secure attractive.

If I hadn't met Pamela...

Even if we met, it might have been different at a later time.

- But it's a waste of your hard work so far.

It was an option to say no because we are at a stage where I would think so.

Isaac himself didn't expect to turn down a delicious engagement story so far because of the timing.

It's something I couldn't have thought of in my previous life.

Isaac is amazed at himself for being able to make these decisions.

Elias was nodding satisfactorily to the decision.

"Wouldn't you be happy to say something? But is it good? If you become king, you'll be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with me, okay?

Elias said with a slightly mean smile, as if he knew how Isaac would answer.

I've never wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with His Majesty.

This word is Isaac's heart.

I've never wanted to (...) shoulder to shoulder with Elias.

Isaac wants to stand up (...).

I've only thought about dragging Elias off the throne of the king and sitting there myself.

Unmixed honesty (...) Isaac's words were also told to Elias and Morgan that they were true.

We were both delighted with Isaac's growth, "as the consciousness of the kingdom of Reed as a nobleman is growing.

All together, my cheeks are bare.

"I'm glad someone like that thinks so."

Elias tries to hide his joy, but he didn't hide his emotions because his nose is sticking.

Isaac is a difficult person, not only in the Kingdom of Lead, but also in neighbouring countries.

Being so admired by Isaac is something Elias can be proud of.

Rumors will circulate that "Lord Enfield has a great admiration for His Majesty" by the maids present here.

That will boost Elias' reputation.

You can earn more fame.

His words, too, were sincere again.

"But that's a shame. If the Reid royal family also has a single daughter, I would bring up the engagement story...... They're only my cousins."

"Speaking of His Majesty's cousin, the widow is certainly over forty. Besides, there must have been two adult children. Isaac will be a little heavy on his first marriage."

(Not a little bit!

Listening to Elias and Morgan, I thought Isaac was absolutely sorry.

I hear it's hard for your stepkids to do well with their step-parents.

Besides, if that were to be a younger father than myself, it would definitely be a giddy relationship.

I haven't had the experience to get through it, including in previous lives.

First marriage was good for someone who could learn something called conjugal life together.

Exactly. Elias knows about it.

I didn't try to force Isaac to recommend her engagement to her cousin.

Because I know that even if you love your relatives and take them in, compelling stories that make you dissatisfied are counterproductive.

I didn't really want to move on, so I decided to stop talking about it and get back to it.

"So you're not willing to engage Princess Loretta, are you?

"Yes, I do not want to be blinded by the throne and marry His Highness, etc. Maybe it's an unaristocratic idea, but I want to marry someone I like right"

"I see."

- Isaac doesn't want to, he wants a marriage with love.

Indeed, as a nobleman, as the head of the Duke's house.

And as a heir to the Marquis, it's a sweet idea.

At the same time, however, it is reassuring that there are places where Isaac does not intend to run out, but where he is human.

Much better than the one who only makes you feel horrible like Jude.

Besides, this would also be the strength of being able to deal with hard and soft weaving.

Elias thanks God for passing faster than Jude thought in his own generation, and for being fortunate that Isaac turned young and showed his head corner.

"Well, as I just heard. Lord Enfield has no intention of engaging Princess Loretta."

Elias speaks to the door that leads to the next room.

Then the door was opened and one man showed up.

- Marquis Stanley Thornicroft.

He is Margaret's real brother and Isaac's great uncle.

"Why is Lord Sonicroft here?

"It's to bring in His Highness's engagement story. Congratulations on your late appointment as Duke."

The Marquis of Sonicroft first gives Isaac his words of celebration.

I was celebrating in a letter when I was awarded the Duke, because I should also tell him when I met him directly in person.

But Isaac's questions are still endless.

"But wasn't Marquis Sonicroft supposed to be the finance minister?

"Oh, that's..."

The Marquis of Sonicroft scratches his cheek at first sight, reaching the table.

"Because my predecessor, Uncle Glenville, has betrayed me. It turned out that way, but he was quite His Majesty's trustworthy man. That he betrayed. His Majesty was anxious to see if I could entrust the new Minister for Foreign Affairs with bringing the friendship with His Highness Loretta to Lord Enfield. So I was entrusted by my relatives."

"Oh, is that so..."

If you ask me that, Isaac can be convinced, too.

When I talked to King Fartil's Hector, I was sorry to say in the chatter, "I trusted you, and I left all my diplomacy to you".

If such an opponent had betrayed him, the shock would be considerable.

If Norman or Matt had betrayed him, too, Isaac might fall asleep in shock for a while.

It is also impossible to think that "Isaac's relatives would still be more trustworthy than the new Foreign Minister".

"So what did you want in the next room?

"That's to ask the truth. Neither is His Majesty Hector looking to force us into an engagement. Your Majesty Elias and Marquis Welrod have helped bring Lord Enfield to the forefront. That attitude full of loyalty. It was touching, but that's why His Majesty Hector will be sorry. I'm sorry to hear that."

The Marquis of Sonicroft looked really sorry, not just words.

Loyal subordinates like Isaac will only be needed by Hector today.

But there are only loyalists, and I won't change my lord easily.

- I want loyalists, but I don't get them easily.

- I don't trust my subordinates, which is easily available.

Exactly a dilemma.

That's why I wanted Isaac to be engaged to Loretta of his own free will and come to the kingdom of Fatil as his next king candidate.

Because for good reason, I thought it would be fine if I were to move the country.

"His Majesty Hector will say that His Majesty Elias envies"

"No, no, some are like the Sonicroft Marquis. You won't be jealous."

Elias laughed out loud satisfied.

- People who want other countries also admire themselves.

Because I couldn't wait to be happy about it.

"But Lord Enfield can't be single either. Are you planning to marry someone as well?

Marquis Sonicroft asks Morgan.

Exactly because I didn't think Isaac would spend his whole life being single.

"I'm a little worried about the lack of signs of it, though I'm saying 'look for good people at Royal College'"

"I see, just like Viscount Saunders. So? Parents and children."

Morgan also laughed together when the Marquis Sonicroft laughed.

While Isaac also thinks, "You're just finishing the semester and you're feeling fast," he laughs in the meantime.

But at this time, Marquis Thornicroft was laughing because Randolph and Isaac had similar ideas.

No one on this occasion had noticed that he was laughing with the joy of "I might have found the thread".
