First of all, Fred's opponent decided to have him at the Marquis Welrod mansion.
Nicole hasn't been visiting lately, so I thought it would be safer to meet her at the Marquis Welrod's.
Now that it has not been attacked yet, it is likely that Nicole will visit the Mansion of the Marquis Wilmente.
I also naturally stopped sending him as a mentor to the club.
Nicole belongs to the War Techniques Department, so I'm definitely going to be framed to meet her.
Dispatching to the college was out of the question.
Nevertheless, Matt is a baron and Fred is a Marquis man.
It seemed like a bad idea to call Fred because of this disparity.
"You can't keep the knight I trust the most from the escort."
- I pushed it through with Isaac's word.
This is where the title of Duke is used.
"If we are the Lord or the Successor, which should we give priority to? Successfully appealed to Fred to leave."
There's no way Matt can be blamed for this.
Most importantly, Fred himself didn't care "if we could do it with Matt," so the appeal only meant about the Marquis Wilmente.
But I'm not gonna do it. Rika's good.
Isaac, while touring Fred's arrangements, still said, "Damn, damn, damn! I'm the heir to the Marquis Wilmente family. I can't believe I lost!," he said, sincerely regretting.
With such a blatant appeal, the ordinary can't possibly think of winning.
"Lose on purpose," he said. If he made a clear request, he also understands, but it was only a nasty habit for what he was unconsciously demanding.
Even Matt, who has a back shield named Isaac, made Fred's opponent seem hard to do.
(Marquis Wilmente is the kind of guy who seems smart, so how did this happen to Fred? I wish I could at least just make it look superficial)
I really have to think about that.
Although he is also allowed to behave disrespectfully because he is the son of the Marquis, he is also not the son of a lower aristocrat.
Besides, the knights who haven't made up their minds aren't badly rated.
(Personality? Or can you be nice because you know you're an idiot? I have no idea)
There's only one thing Isaac knows.
The only thing that doesn't hurt is that Fred's character is unexpected.
If we're just talking, maybe it's a good place not to be too uncomfortable.
Isaac was a little jealous of Fred, who did whatever he wanted but had a certain fondness.
----------
A further weekend later.
Now, do the mat pageant.
The pageant venue was the Marquis Wallick residence.
The Wallick Marquis family is also involved, so it looks clear that they are trying to identify Janet's fiancée.
There are four attendees on Janet's side.
To Viscount Brennan Wellington, wife Anne and party Janet.
It was just Janet's parents, and they were both big.
And Amanda will be present on behalf of Marquis Wallick.
The Marquis herself is back for territorial management, so I guess she's the replacement.
Since the secretary of the Marquis Wallick is holding back behind him, it seems that this is the man of his destiny.
This time, Viscount Fosbury was able to have one without his wife, as he would only introduce Matt, not his son's pageant.
I heard Amanda would be there, so Isaac is there to make sure she doesn't lose.
(I knew I should have stopped...)
Naturally, Viscount Wellington's side is not pleased with Isaac's attendance.
Rather than, I wasn't happy that Matt was a matchmaker.
- Matt's track record is enough.
Viscount Fosbury and Viscount Wellington are at a time when they were unable to go to a war twenty critical years ago.
I can't complain about Matt's track record of taking the general's head on the battlefield.
It is a great consequence that cannot be attached.
I couldn't talk because the high nobility surrounded me at the party, but they also asked, "What was Marshal Ford like? Were you strong? As much as I wanted to hear."
But that and the story about the engagement were separate.
- I was single until thirty years ago, and I still don't see myself getting married.
In this world, most people marry between the ages of eighteen and twenty.
Even though he was a former mercenary, many nobles should have sold their daughters to Matt, who gave him the Baron.
Yet Matt continued to be single.
There must be something wrong with the engagement not being concluded.
I'm perfect for a political marriage, but I didn't think I was the one who wanted to give my daughter away with pleasure.
Especially now that Damien has said a terrible goodbye.
Plus, I don't like Matt being the Knight Commander of the House of the Duke of Enfield.
Whatever the problem, they use the title Duke as a shield to push the story forward.
Because of Jason's inadvertent remarks, he said, "Weren't you also responsible for Janet?" And it's just getting rumored in the social world.
If you refuse, "I've introduced you to such a wonderful person, but you can't show my gratitude for being rejected," Viscount Fosbury reopens.
It gives an excuse to fight back, additionally, "Janet had problems with it".
Sympathy will also be gathered for him.
"It was supposed to be the hunting side, but it was the other way around," Viscount Wellington was dissatisfied.
You can't be happy that I'm on good terms with this story.
I was desperately trying to find an excuse to say no successfully.
"I'd like to ask you first, why did you want to introduce Baron Kirby?
Viscount Wellington pokes where it seems most important.
If Isaac had prepared it, he could say, "Then thank Lord Enfield," and stick with Viscount Fosbury's apology.
"You (...) couldn't get Janet a new fiancée," he also took into account pursuing responsibility at a later date.
"Damien told me about Master Fred making arrangements with Baron Kirby. That's when I thought he was the perfect match. Sufficient track record and future prospects. I make up for it in terms of being better than Damien, although age is what keeps me apart. Because I thought so, I used all the handouts I could use to hold the story to Baron Kirby. Besides, I want you to try to hold me too."
This inquiry is what Isaac also expected.
We have to make sure that Viscount Fosbury only came up with it.
For this reason, he consulted in advance and decided how to respond.
"Well, that Master Fred still has a friendship with Damien? You're so sweet."
His words, Viscount Wellington did not believe.
If Isaac hadn't at least been present, some might have been believed.
- But Isaac is here.
I really doubt Isaac's involvement.
As a result, it had hit Viscount Fosbury hard.
"Fred is a probable character, for better or worse. Fred treats Damien in the same way as before. Amanda must have checked that too."
Isaac takes refuge immediately.
This is a fact, so it was a grand thing to say.
Fred described his behavior toward Janet as "No, that's not good. It's against chivalry," he said only slightly.
The rest is handled as usual.
For Damien today, Fred was the only friend he could even call himself.
That also confirmed Amanda, making her hatred for Fred even stronger.
"... right. Fred remains Damien's friend."
Amanda is present on behalf of the Marquis of Wallick.
So instead of the usual tone, I was trying to treat Isaac as a duke today.
"Really? So maybe you're really right."
Viscount Wellington had to admit, reluctantly because Amanda admitted it.
But as is often the case with those who once doubted, "Isn't there a back, even for a good reason?" I suspect.
"So, you said you wanted to get on Viscount Fosbury's invitation and get engaged to Janet (...) of your own volition?
"Yes, you're right"
Matt responded immediately when Viscount Wellington asked the question with a stern eye.
After responding, Matt sees Isaac as a flicker.
(Even if you can count on me on the battlefield, you suck at belly art. You'll find out who's giving you instructions to respond.)
Seeing Matt's behavior, the suspicion in Viscount Wellington that "it's all Isaac pulling the thread behind it" turned to certainty.
But soon Isaac moves on to misleading behavior.
"Baron Kirby. Anything you need to talk about your engagement should be discussed first. You'll be in trouble when we talk about it. You should speak clearly to avoid misunderstandings."
"But..., because you're sure?
"Never mind."
Isaac affirmed, "You can say it".
Then Matt stops looking at Isaac and looks at Janet.
"Let me tell you the most important thing first. If you were to get engaged, you might think that you would be able to put your family first. But you don't expect me to be a family man."
"Yes......"
This was something Janet was also prepared to do after she heard they were Matt.
Matt is also ordered by Isaac to be engaged to someone he dislikes and doesn't like.
You can't possibly take care of someone like that.
I don't want to marry myself.
Even though I knew it, it makes me sad when they say it to my face, and I'm about to cry again.
But Matt's words were not the end.
"Most important to me is Lord Enfield. This will not change in the future. Marriage, or having children, would be the second stop. Since this is no different from the loyalty Viscount Wellington has to the royal family, it will naturally be accepted. If you are expecting a husband who puts his wife first and devotes himself to his wife, I want you to hit someone else."
Matt's too terrible a word.
Janet was also distracted by this - it was not taken.
And Viscount Wellington's reaction.
I see. That's the right thing to do.
- That was just an affirmation.
It wasn't something Matt couldn't understand for them.
Loyalty to the Lord is natural.
"My wife is sick, so it's an important day, but I'm off."
But I did not receive it unconditionally and favourably.
"It is only natural to give priority to the master. But there are some things that bother me. His Majesty would be the best in my case, and next in the order of Marquis Wallick. You have no loyalty to His Majesty?
"None."
Isaac is in a hurry this time for what Janet and the others weren't in a hurry earlier.
"Baron Kirby! I'm glad you swore allegiance to me, but I was wondering if you could blur some more."
"But didn't they tell you to be clear?"
"It's about engagement, not about His Majesty..."
(Shit! Should we have had a more detailed meeting!
Isaac was insulting Matt's lack of accommodation.
Unaccommodating loyalty as a master is appreciated, but not in these circumstances.
I almost wanted you to be a little more adrift.
"Isn't that a problematic statement as the one who gave you the Baron position from His Majesty?
Naturally, Viscount Wellington blames Matt for what he said.
"No, I don't think so. I was able to make a move because I fought for Lord Enfield, who owes me a favor. I'm just saying it turned out to be for the Reid kingdom."
Viscount Wellington covered his mouth with his hands.
"Unbelievable! It would be a trick."
Isaac also felt like putting his hand on his forehead and saying "ahhh".
"Is there such a reason to swear allegiance to Lord Enfield?
"Of course there is.... How far do you know about me?
After the orphanage.
"Really?"
One of the orphanages had not been rumored to have spread during the initial period.
However, because Matt was active on the battlefield, church officials who knew about the time spread rumors.
Thanks to this, it has become a widely known story from one of the orphanages to the war against the Kingdom of Rockwell.
But the story before that is unknown.
Viscount Wellington likewise says, "If you only know about orphanages and beyond, you should also talk about mercenary times," Matt thinks.
Because meeting Isaac was shocking enough to swear allegiance.
"Did you know the story that I was under the elf curse?
"Curse! That's my first ear"
"Now meet Lord Enfield... No, shall we talk from my childhood? If you understand my distress, you will understand why I pledge my absolute loyalty to Lord Enfield."
Isaac didn't stop Matt from trying to talk about the past.
"Uncursing" was something Elias could not do.
- I only pledge allegiance to Isaac because I have done things no one else can.
If you knew that, you wouldn't be accused of being an infidel.
(Why are we supposed to excuse our loyalty to the royal family when we've been talking about engagement? Matt's pledge of allegiance to me and all he had to do was say that someone familiar would be nice...)
Isaac was starting to regret "I knew I wasn't recommending Matt or anything".
