The next day, the school was full of rumors that Isaac was engaged to Lisa.
The flow from the duel to Lisa's engagement came to an end in just one day.
Everyone was rumouring.
Naturally, it's also in Tiffany's and Amanda's ears.
"Congratulations, Lisa. I guess you'd be convinced with your sister."
The reason I chose Lisa was convincing to Tiffany.
Besides, Tiffany said, "Why not yourself? There's no reason to think."
Tiffany honestly congratulated them on their engagement.
"Congratulations"
In contrast to Tiffany was Amanda.
She makes words of celebration as she pulls her face together.
Though I think it's hard, it's due to her pride that we're celebrating properly.
"Thank you, I'm glad. Speaking of which, I'm sorry. Wrap it up. I was upset when His Majesty told me it was your fault."
"Yeah, that's okay. I didn't even realize I was bothering everyone because I didn't care at all... My friends didn't say anything either."
"Oh, yeah."
Isaac replies by pretending to be calm.
Paul told me, and I didn't realize it. I just can't tell you.
I wanted to keep that a secret just among my friends.
"So. I want to apologize, and why don't you go have some sweets after school? There's a new cake before you sell it."
Here Isaac decided to ask Amanda out.
Sometimes he wanted to go out of the way, but he wanted to apologize.
In public, it gives me an atmosphere where I can't say "I don't want to accept an apology".
- Invite him to a confectionery shop too and make a proper apology where he won't be flushed by the atmosphere.
That was Isaac's sincerity.
He trivially adopts what Raymond said to Paul: "When you invite a woman, set the date and time."
But after being a little lost, Amanda smiles powerless and then shakes her neck to the side.
"I want to go... but I'll stop. Lisa just got engaged, too, and I don't think Isaac would feel comfortable playing with other girls."
That was a very convincing reason for Isaac.
(That sucks. Were you pissing me off that much......)
- I had to think.
Rejecting Lisa as an excuse is the most likely reason.
But I didn't feel like I was trying to give him any more opportunity to apologize.
This also means how angry you are.
Regardless of the other opponent, Elias is reminded that it was a bad idea to take him on the road.
But this was just what Isaac assumed.
In fact, he just said he was turning down the invitation to be patient because he was about to get emotional.
If you were to get engaged to Tiffany, you would have enjoyed what you were ready for.
No matter how much, Lisa was an unexpected opponent.
- There are other people besides Tiffany that I like.
The fact was tormenting Amanda by tightening her heart hard.
If you're alone with Isaac, you could cry out.
He refused Isaac's invitation because he didn't want to look silly.
"So is that. Tell me when it's convenient again. Suddenly, I'm still in a hurry, so maybe you should take a little more time."
"I'm sorry...... I can't believe this is happening..."
Monica apologizes to Isaac for triggering the doozy.
But Isaac shook his head sideways, "That's okay," he said.
"Mr. Monica's not bad. Never mind. By the way, what happened with Paul?
"Yeah, well, the... We didn't have a problem with each other, so we were just going to talk about it one by one."
She laughs lightly.
Monica seems to be doing well.
Though I deserve it, only Daryl is getting unhappy.
I don't see him like that in the classroom.
Looks like you're just resting.
Isaac can also understand the feeling.
I guess I don't have a face to match my classmates because I kept them up to a duel noise and they were completely empty.
"Isaac's behavior always startles me. Even imitating Viscount Saunders, I thought my fiancée would choose from the Viscounts."
Kai looked at Chirali and Tiffany and said.
If Isaac's getting engaged, it's because I thought it was her.
However, it was strange because Isaac's choice seemed to be the right one, given the history leading up to Lisa's engagement and Tiffany's not forgotten about Charles.
"But it was a good choice."
Lucas also supports Isaac's decision.
Lisa is the Baron's daughter.
And there's a relationship that no other daughter can get into.
There will be no one first, such as someone who can push Lisa away like that and say, "Make yourself a proper wife".
Daughters over the Viscounts have no choice but to give up and pull themselves back because they can cause domestic strife, like Melinda.
Nor can the Baron's daughter aim for Isaac if she's not confident enough to break into a relationship between them.
Lisa just thought she was the perfect match to meet Elias' demands.
"Thank you. Not only now, but I'll do my best to make sure you say you were and will be a good engagement."
When you can tell me that this was a good engagement around you, Isaac isn't all the same.
I realize I'm glad I took the courage to confess to Lisa.
But only at a time like this, I was also concerned that Nicole was just watching the distant winding.
The day ended safely with the engagement being celebrated around us.
----------
But some are not safe.
"Why, why..."
- It's Amanda.
You were relieved when you crept through the gates of the mansion, your emotions flooded.
My footsteps get stuck and I lean into the mansion, leaning into Janet's arms, who was following me worried.
"Are you back?"
In the entrance hall, there was the Marquis Wallick.
He heard from Morgan at the Royal Palace and waited for his daughter to return from the Academy.
"Father, why? Why not me? Couldn't I?
Tears spill out of Amanda's eyes.
This was a sincere word.
"Oh, you can't"
- My father's too light an attitude.
The words prompted the emotions in Amanda to explode.
Stepping away from Janet's arm and quickly packing her distance from her father, she slaps her liver at a speed that even the marquis Wallick, a marshal, can't prevent.
"Guh..."
With intense pain, Marquis Wallick accidentally pokes one knee to the floor.
"Why are you saying that! Even your father was trying to marry me and Isaac! Bring it to Lord Welrod! If you can't, why were you trying to force me to marry you? I'm not attracted enough to your father to tell you no?... Just give me a response!
Amanda vandalizes her voice against her father, who silences her while holding her belly.
"Amanda, I can't get back to you right now, so wait a minute. I can't talk to you when you're in there."
Even though it's a parent-child issue, Janet can't watch it in silence either.
Hold Amanda from behind and calm down, while limiting her movement so she doesn't chase.
After a while, Marquis Wallick stood up.
"Janet, thank God. No, really.... Amanda, I can't because I brought it to Lord Welrod. You remember that story back then, don't you?
To my father's words, Amanda nodded.
Morgan's reply was, "It's a political matter, and I can't let Amanda and I get engaged".
"Lord Enfield is from the Marquis Welrod family. That too, should be... natural year. Even if the appearance seems gentle, the behavior is made up of cold calculations. You think I'm gonna be closer than I need to be to someone I know I can't marry?
"It's..."
Amanda bites her lower lip and regrets it.
My father was right about this.
The same goes for when I took him before Elias.
That was "Amanda and I are important friends, but nothing more. Thinking about the future, you have to prioritize proving that it is not your sole responsibility to reduce the rate of entering into an engagement".
Though usually sweet, I acted to protect my honor then.
Such a person works positively when working in the centre of the kingdom in the future.
It's a cold, accurate decision to make, to the point of horror.
Amanda only knows by rumors, but shows one scale like Jude.
Seeing that my daughter understood, Marquis Wallick continues the conversation.
"But that's why I think there's a future. Now that Marquis Welrod has stopped you, Lord Enfield will not try to make progress with you. So why don't you give me my back?
"If Lord Welrod admits, will Isaac try to get along with me?
"Yes."
Marquis Wallick affirms what Amanda said, but she couldn't believe it.
"But if Lord Welrod doesn't approve, isn't that a no in the end?
"I'll admit it. Things were different then. In the first place, Lord Enfield's engagement to Lisa, Baron Burton's daughter, leaves you with the option of getting engaged."
To the Marquis Wallick, Amanda and Janet shake their necks.
Seeing that, Marquis Wallick gave a look like, "You haven't both yet."
"No matter how deeply bonded, the Duchess will not serve in the Baron's daughter"
"But the Viscount Saunders was greeted by the First Lady..."
"That was forgiven because Melinda was sent off to the Kingdom of Rockwell and there was no other suitable opponent. Lord Enfield has you and His Highness Loretta. Then Lord Welrod will not forgive Lisa for entrusting the First Lady."
Marquis Wallick tells Amanda that things are different from when Randolph was there.
"Lord Enfield accepts His Majesty's orders and, while shattering the hopes of his elephant daughters, makes room to welcome his rightful wife. I mean, I can afford to welcome you or His Highness Loretta. Perhaps there's a story about Baron Barton welcoming his real wife apart from Lisa."
"Still, aren't I chosen? Marquis Wellrod was wary that too much power was gathered in the Marquis Wellrod family..."
"It sure is. But think about it. You and His Highness Loretta. Which is more influential?
"Well of course...... Oh, well!
Amanda's complexion brightens when she noticed where my father was going to say it.
"Yes, if engagement to you is something that upsets the balance of power within the Reid kingdom, engagement to His Highness Loretta will be something that upsets the balance between nations. Marquis Welrod will be cautious. And Lord Enfield himself. I guess your engagement to Lisa is going to be used as a time buyer to figure out which one to choose while obeying His Majesty's orders. Just because you're engaged to her, it's too early to give up."
Marquis Wallick thought there was more of a chance now than ever.
Loretta is after Isaac by the outspoken.
That's why we pushed Morgan to make the choice "You have to choose Amanda or Loretta".
If she doesn't come to study abroad, she says, "Lisa is the only one I love. Tell me who's complaining," Isaac might not have married another wife, even if he was mean.
The advent of rivals wasn't all bad.
"By now Marquis Welrod will be just wondering which of you or His Highness Loretta will connect with Isaac. Given the increased influence, there should be no idea of getting both parties engaged. Then one is chosen. Okay, here's the problem. Speaking of which Marquis Welrod, Minister for Foreign Affairs (...), chooses -"
"It's me."
"Exactly"
With hope in sight, power returns to Amanda's eyes.
Given the breaking of the balance between nations, it is better to break the balance between the nobles within the Reid kingdom.
As Foreign Secretary, Morgan is likely to choose Amanda.
"Marquis Welrod, as always, I'll handle it. You stay close to Lord Enfield in case this goes any further."
"Yeah, okay. I'm sorry I hit you."
Marquis Wallick strokes Amanda's head.
It was the same despair when I heard Isaac was engaged.
Amanda and other people in the same class just couldn't afford to think calmly.
I can't help but get upset and get my hands on it.
I didn't mean to blame you for hitting me.
"... but are you really going to choose me?
"What makes you think that?
"Because I used to come to the mansion with bouquets of flowers... You said something like you could come in, son-in-law, but you act like that never happened. I don't think you're willing to do that at all..."
Amanda's anxiety was the difference between Isaac's past and Isaac's current attitude.
I remember you used to be nicer to me.
Isaac now behaves as if he was not aware of it at all as heterosexual.
- When the time passes, the mood changes.
I couldn't help but worry that Isaac's mind had changed, too.
"What are you worried about? That was before we brought the engagement story to Lord Welrod, wasn't it? I just gave up because Lord Welrod told me your engagement was too much of an influence. If you give me permission, I'll be back the way I was before."
"I guess..."
"Yes. Think about it. I chose Lisa for my calculations."
Amanda puts her neck over the words of her father.
For a daughter who doesn't understand, he gives an explanation.
"Okay. Let's say Lord Enfield is engaged to Janet, for example. In that case, what do you think you got engaged for?
"With Janet?
Amanda sees a friend.
I know that he is tall or has a glamorous figure, but my father is not talking about it.
Start thinking more differently.
"... because you're my friend?
"Exactly. That's what happens if you skip the charm of the person and think of political reasons. So, what's the sale of Lisa, who's a local nobleman and doesn't have much company?
"You mean Isaac's milk sister?
"That's right. The matter is important to the other nobles. But how about Lord Enfield himself?
Amanda will soon find out all about this.
"Engagement has no political significance at all. Yes, I did!
- Isaac chose a politically powerless opponent for his fiancée not to surround him with concerns that the "Wellrod Marquis would upset the political balance within the Reid kingdom".
Amanda felt she could understand why Isaac chose Lisa.
The feelings of the person are also important, but Morgan's judgment, which is the main one, is greatly influenced.
When I found out that Isaac also had some honesty in listening to his grandfather, I wondered if some of them were cute.
But that's not the only thing that came up behind Amanda's brain.
"Wait a minute. So if you hadn't brought your engagement story to Lord Welrod then, wouldn't you have chosen me this time?
The question Amanda had was that Marquis Wallick had also noticed.
Because I drew the phrase "unacceptable given the political balance" from Morgan, it turned out to be a rejection and a wider distance from Isaac.
Without that, there was no statement that Morgan would reject it for political reasons, and Isaac and Amanda's engagement could have been concluded by now.
When I thought so, I couldn't help but ask.
"... have you noticed"
"Then the situation is not your father's fault!?
"Wait, wait. He was so nice to the Marquis Wallick at the time. You won't have to, even if you think you're going to take the talk."
"That's right..."
There is also a reasonable excuse for the Marquis Wallick.
Isaac was helping me rebuild the economy of the Marquis Wallick family.
Until then, I don't have a decent edge.
No, on the contrary, I can even say that it was a potential hostility, as the predecessor Marquis Wallick had a shoulder on Melinda's side.
He reached out to me for my salvation, even though it was such a relationship.
I can't help thinking you're being kind to me because you're aware of Amanda as a fiancée candidate.
"In the meantime, let's look forward now. I appeal to Lord Wellrod that you have less influence than His Highness Loretta. You and Lord Enfield should get along a little bit. It doesn't mean it's working in calculations, it doesn't mean it's not moving in love at all."
"No... De, it's not like it's a date, but you just asked me out today and I said no..."
"What are you doing? It's a waste. I knew I was gonna go play. But I said, eat more gut!
"I can't do that!
"Do it if you can't!
Marquis Wallick says, "Attack me more," but Amanda hated it when she thought, "I turned Lisa down on the pretext, but it's boring to withdraw the foreword immediately".
Although parents and children have different opinions, they aim in the same direction.
While we were talking, Amanda thought there was hope, too, so she regained some brightness.
----------
"Lord Enfield looks highly calculated, he's a man of affection"
It was Elias who said that.
He was gathering Loretta, her parents, and Jason to talk about Isaac's fiancée.
"Lisa Burton hasn't had a fiancé in mind for a long time. So, I guess we decided to take it away with the warmth we grew up with from a very young age. I had no idea about her."
This is a big thing when I spoke to the Marquis Wilmente before.
Lisa deserved to be single, and Isaac was helping her find her fiancée.
Because of that information, Elias thought Lisa would never be chosen.
But that was a mistake.
Isaac chose it because it was Lisa who didn't think he had that choice.
Within the area, the Marquis Wilmente's rating drops by a step.
"The leading candidates are Loretta and Amanda. And they were three of Tiffany's as counterparts in a disguised engagement. So I was careful not to pick Tiffany, but I didn't think I'd pick Lisa. But I can't disagree with you when I ask you how you've been in the past. There's a bond no one else has."
Elias distorts his face unfortunately.
I should have narrowed the choice down to two, but it was just great to have found someone from outside of that candidate who fits the criteria perfectly.
I'm glad Isaac showed me a move that exceeded my expectations, but this time around, Elias couldn't be happy either.
"I have no choice. I'm guessing it's Lord Enfield who's not a glimmer."
Loretta, who says so, was also sorry.
It was a sad event that the engagement was postponed just because there was a little feeling of "maybe".
"Right. But you should be glad to know that it is thicker than calculation. If Lord Enfield were a man like the predecessor Marquis Welrod, he would have definitely chosen either Loretta or Amanda. That gives it a better political advantage. It's not something a man can do without political ambition and trying to make childhood friendly."
It was unfortunate, but it was also a pleasure.
Because Isaac wasn't the hard type to hang out with, like Jude, but only looked like Elias to a good, humane young man.
"In that regard, what you did was not in vain. But Lord Enfield is the man the Reid kingdom needs. As promised, I'll give you the right to stop your rampage. Carve on your chest what you have to do to treat you politely and without being underneath."
"Yes, I know"
Jason was treated with the usual attitude, although Elias scolded him.
Elias said, "Do you remember what I scolded you for?" I get anxious, but I've always been a good boy, so I decide to believe my son's words.
"But I'm surprised to hear you say that to Lord Enfield. Besides, it's an occasion where a large number of guests are watching at the admissions ceremony. I know you have a daughter who wants to be your sidekick, but she's given Lord Enfield all the responsibility. What do you think, did you find the daughter you wanted to turn into a side room?
Elias' questions were the best.
It is certain that Isaac is influencing the rate of formation of the engagement.
But there will also be Jason's sideroom shooter.
If my son has someone he cares about, Elias was thinking about moving on and making him give up his other sideroom aiming daughter.
"No, no one wants to side chamber"
"Really? I wonder," Can you pick all the side rooms you want out of this? "On the contrary, I have a bitter memory that no one could choose."
"I think I know a little about your Majesty's feelings"
Maximilian, Loretta's father, agrees with Elias' bitter memories.
He is also the prince king of the kingdom of Fatil.
There was a time when girls were gathered around for side chamber aim.
Royal men are only attractive.
It was clear that not only Isaac, but Jason also had a negative impact on the rate of engagement.
I only got on with Jason's story thinking it would be a good excuse to push Loretta.
Neither did Elias seriously think it was Isaac's sole responsibility.
"Well fine. It turns out Lord Enfield is affectionate. Then you know how to move?
"Absolutely."
Loretta touches the scar on her face with her hands.
"I appreciate you healing my facial scar," so stay close to Isaac.
She herself is grateful for that, so I have no objection to inspiring her to be close to Isaac.
"Maximilian. If Lord Enfield says he doesn't want to leave the Reid kingdom, don't forget his promise that Loretta will be adopted by the Reid royal family for dowry"
"Of course it is. When His Majesty also tells you that Lord Enfield may join his son-in-law, send him away with pleasure."
"I know."
Where Isaac doesn't know, the story keeps going.
Isaac wasn't the only one trying to get things going for their own convenience.
----------
"Heh. Older women were that way. I thought you were an elf. But the fact that we have a fiancée means that it's going to be real."
There were others who were surprised to hear about Isaac's engagement.
It wasn't just Isaac who entered the unknown realm and was concerned about what was going to happen.
