"In the meantime... blah, blah, blah. Why don't you tell your parents a lot more?
Honestly, I can't deny it's too late because I've already stunned my daughter-in-law, but she's still cornered until I have to cut her off.
I don't know if I'd say so myself, but I'm not a good liar. Without having to make a report, Rayne told the lady, 'What happened at her parents' house over there? 'I would have to answer honestly if asked.
In that case, if she moved the act of 'not being able to see past' to execution against me, the direct minister of Sopede, the lady would not forgive it even if it ended in an attempt.
That's the same thing for your brother and father. Around that time, it's the sopedo breeze that's really unforgiving. Well, it's under my umbrella. That's unforgivable.
"Think about what happened when the worst happened... you should be clear. I'm sorry I stunned you, too."
"... to that father and mother?
"... if that's what my dad says, that's fine"
Neither Rain nor Blois was the wind I honestly expected.
Indeed, it was a level of suspicion that I hadn't seen before that I didn't notice my daughter with such an unusual look on her face.
But still, it would be a muscle to talk to the head of this House. At least, that's what sopeds do.
"Besides, it lacks persuasion to say so yourself, but Bulova's father was recognized by the former lord of Sopeds. Believe me, that man."
Then we left our room and headed to your parents. Breakfast was at the beginning stage and I was talking to Rya and Brother Heata.
Both Rya and Brother Heata were somewhat relieved that Shet sister would not be present. Such an atmosphere is leaking.
I don't sneak dropping a bomb in that situation, but there are still things I have to say.
"Oh, no, Mr. Sansui! Blois! Rain! I've been waiting, but I still have time."
"Yeah, let's make some tea. Do you have any sugar?
Somehow, I wish I could see the look on our faces that we're not all here for breakfast, but I don't know why.
At least, both Brother Heata and Rya kind of noticed the maid preparing tea and breakfast.
Nevertheless, I'm not pretending not to know, I'm not really aware of it. If so, I have to tell you.
"Oh, speaking of which, I hear Shet got a glare standing in the garden. You know, they helped you out there."
"Damn, I must have stayed up late already. She hasn't been that way for a long time, but she's a mother and she hasn't fixed the area..."
"So I need to talk to you both"
Lack of sleep, is not wrong.
On the other hand, I'm just saying there are facts I haven't told you.
"Do you two know what causes sleep deprivation?
"That's also my already married mother, I'm sure she has a hard time. But at the same time, it's about the age when we have to have parental separation. I'm gonna wait till you get help."
"Well, I don't think I'm giving you a hard time about the character of the house... but maybe there's something there."
At this time, the minds of all but your parents were united.
I wondered why you didn't notice, I even felt horrible from the bottom of my heart.
I didn't have to feel any signs, it was on my face.
"Well... I just met you a few days ago... the... actually"
The nerdy lady almost strangled me, I can't say all of a sudden.
In the meantime, let's talk from the very beginning.
"Well, I look young, so as you know, Shet, you know my sister-in-law asked me the secret."
"Oh...... of course it is"
To the boulder, I don't need to tell you about my son-in-law's secrets in front of the maid.
It was a good blur for me and I took it.
"That's when I realized that apparently Master Shett is mine... he was obsessed with his youth. To be honest...... I found it very thoughtful"
"What?!
"Well!?
So your parents were finally stunned.
It's late, everyone had put it on their face, but they hadn't noticed.
"Perhaps you're sick of that and foolish that you're hunting yourself down. That would be the cause when it comes to lack of sleep. And manipulating the fairy arts, I could feel her signs thick, but it was also becoming less aggressive of jealousy. I said I fell asleep earlier... but the truth of the matter is, it depends on where you stop the crime."
"Oh no..."
"It's..."
"Doowe, I want to somehow put it away in peace before it gets into your lady's ear. Wouldn't you like to help?"
That's it, your parents finally got up.
Hurry up, Shet. Head to the room where you're putting your sister to bed.
As we shut up to the two of you now in a hurry, we decided to follow suit.
Worst case scenario, while I think I have to stun him again.
"You..."
"Oh, I asked you to."
The only person who entered the room was her mother, who was a mother on a boulder.
Your father looks spicy in front of the room, regretting why he couldn't realize it.
Honestly, it was so easy to understand and go mad, I was just wondering why I didn't notice.
Wake up, Shet.
"Mother......"
I heard the conversation inside.
With a sick woman waking up, everyone but your father and I would look disgusted, but I felt differently for feeling the signs inside.
It was not that she had suddenly returned to her sanity, but that her aggressiveness had been lost from the atmosphere.
"Hey, haven't you been sleeping lately? Why don't you let me sleep in your garden?
……
'Something bad happened to you, didn't it? You've been having trouble sleeping ever since you got hurt. "
The conversation was truly between mother and daughter.
Shet sister who is already married and has children, but still makes no difference that she is a 'daughter'.
'... you know, mother. Guys, look at the other kids, not me.'
"Yes... I didn't like that."
'Yeah... people don't look at me. She won't tell me she's pretty.'
I heard a cry, through the door.
Originally, the house of nobility would have been highly soundproofed by the doors, but we could still hear the voice with tears clearly standing in the hallway.
"You work hard on makeup, you work hard to walk and laugh, but you don't tell me I'm the best"
'Yes, your mother knows. That you're working so hard. "
"I've studied a lot and I'm trying to talk..."
'Yeah, right. As your sister, you didn't show weakness even in front of your other siblings. "
Think about it, it was natural.
At least, everyone on this occasion had finally understood her suffering beyond the door.
No matter how she was a talented eagle, a beautiful idol who provoked men and was jealous of women.
Still, as the talented Blois and their siblings did, they worked desperately to capitalize on that talent.
What she was losing due to her age was, in other words, an achievement she had accumulated over her life.
She's been piling up beauty all she can.
It's not just that I was born with a good face or anything, but I've brushed myself to the best of my ability on it.
'Oh no... Mother... I can't do this anymore? Aren't you the girl we all admire?
'That's not true, Shet. You've always been and always have been... the most beautiful girl in the world.'
Not many, I was ashamed.
We were stunned by our parents' lack of understanding and thought they knew nothing about our daughter.
But it wasn't. Only these parents knew more about her tearful efforts than anyone else.
I guess that's why we've been able to respond appropriately so far.
I was feeling that her heart would be at rest and easier, following her to a calm sleep. That was something I didn't even have to feel signs of.
"I... am dumb. I didn't realize my daughter's suffering."
No, not at all. Not at all.
But if this happens, you can't say anything bad about this guy.
We thought we were just women obsessed with beauty, and we were solemn around it.
"... excuse me, Mr. Sansui. My wife and I were really happy to hear about this conversation. That's why I can't see my sister at the top."
Optimism and joy had vanished when I was relaxing in my room until earlier.
As his expression suggests, Bulova's father was thanking me.
"You are much more familiar with the masters of the Sopeds than we are. Then you know, how much those two drown Lord Doowe and how loyal they are to their duties."
"Yes, he's a tough guy"
"It's a general theory, but assuming Blois didn't have any talent, if someone in the main house told me to give him my daughter, we don't have a veto. It's noble, it's like that."
That was very real to me knowing the corruption of the Imperial aristocracy.
"In that sense, sopeds still have feelings. Otherwise, even though the timing would have been good, it would not have shown the consideration of exchanging territories. If I'm ordered to use your daughter as my own shield, I'll have to snort."
Hearing the words, Heata, your brother's face was sinking.
So much so that I felt ashamed and guilty about the very fact that I was jealous of my sister.
"That's why I sent my daughter out. When used as a shield for Lady Doowe, she serves as an escort to protect Sopede's warlord, who has many enemies. To be honest... I was in the mood for a funeral when I sent him out"
It was the mediocre judgment of a mediocre nobleman.
You knew even if you were mediocre, you knew as a nobleman that Brother Heata, who was supposed to be talented, didn't know very well.
It was a natural preparation, more important than talent, etc.
"So I worked desperately. This is the opportunity my daughter gave me for risking her life, I thought I had to protect that for whatever it was. Even if it seemed mediocre from a heater's point of view, I followed the usual way, as usual. As a result… until today, I had managed not to take up the land"
What has been given is not the right to manage good land, but the opportunity to become a lord of good land.
Blois' father, who had caught him so, was spitting out what he had stacked.
"A letter from Blois came and I was reading it with my wife. When I saw the occasional blower escorting the lady, I didn't even cry. At the end of the day, no matter what rumors I heard, I didn't expect my daughter to live and finish the role"
At that time, everyone finally understood.
This is why your parents were able to weather this far.
He was relieved that Blois was able to retire alive and complete the escort for his daughter.
"I was not at all relieved to hear any rumors about Blois or about you, Sansui. Of course, I haven't been thinking about Blois forever. I cared about my work, and I cared about other children."
I felt ready.
Finally, I was feeling ready from him in front of me under the sopede umbrella.
The value that dying was more natural than escorting was the sopede itself that I trusted.
"Still, I've always been worried. I was wondering what time the obituary would arrive, would return silently, and the body wouldn't come out either... but I'm done. Blois doesn't die in battle anymore, that's what made me happy..."
He did not lose his sense of crisis.
He kept his nervousness constantly.
Even in mediocrity, he was a father and lord.
The way I confessed in tears looked good to me.
"Father..."
"Blois, forgive my father. Anyway, forgive me for offering you a young man..."
Ordinarily, he was a man with a natural feeling. I guess that's why it was really hard until the other day.
The load has fallen, one less seed of worry. That made your parents unusually capable.
"Father... I, I... that word is enough!
The words of Blois, too, were sincere.
At the end of the day, it was enough for Blois that his parents were sincerely happy.
I had enough trouble with Rayne and me, but he was completely happy with it without any shadow.
"Sansui you...... I know it's because of you"
Now it was me.
"I'm guessing you protected me from Blois, and I'm guessing you cared about Blois while you protected Miss Doo."
That was a really warm word.
I've always said I'm grateful.
That's just a mix of tears now, just changed from joy to relief.
So I was returning mediocre answers, too.
"Blois, it's okay now. From now on, I'll make you happy."
"Thank you... thank you..."
Cut the tears, your father was changing the atmosphere.
In other words, I was jealous whenever my own sister's information came in, watching Brother Heata, who, while appreciative, thought she would never die because of her martial talent.
"Heata... at this point, let me be clear to you"
"... Yes"
"I couldn't leave my territory to you."
Ordinary, the fact was not bent.
Maybe this was the first time I had spoken so clearly about my feelings for Blois.
I didn't think about the script, I guess I didn't think about the impact on my surroundings.
In other words, this was the first time Brother Heata had seriously tried to listen to his father's words.
"... now, I know"
"Oh, yeah. Not a distant old ancestor I've never even met, you're not prepared to bury a bone in this land that I got thanks to the selfish service of my own sister, who knows how young she is...!
His father, who was only mediocre, had scolded his gifted son.
But it was a story I knew which was right and so on.
I'm guessing the Sopeds had guessed that.
While acknowledging the talent of Heata, Blois' brother, I guess he didn't tell him to give up his territory.
I guess I left it to the discretion of your father, the current lord.
"I'll be clear at this point. I know you have talent, but you don't need talent for territorial management or anything!
Home Affairs Cheat, recalls the term.
I remember there was such a story.
I was realizing once again that it was only a story.
"If I needed talent for territorial management, the former Lord of Sopede would not have given me this land by mistake! All you need to run your territory is moderation! Remember, it's only the land you keep from the Sopeds and the Royal Family!
"... Yes"
Probably because of the extreme emotions, the words coming out of your father's mouth were very heavy.
Brother Heata, who is taking it, seemed to be beaten with the words.
"You didn't have it, I'm ready to bury a bone in this land! Protect this land you have deposited from the Sopeds and be prepared to tell them next! For a talented man, I guess I didn't want to spoil the land my sister gave me. That thought was enough for me to understand!
"You're right......"
"For you, I guess it just seemed like a crossing point to this land and other further standing! I would have dreamed that if we had achieved results here and had heard from Sopeds and the royal family!
"... Yes"
I was hoping to make the territory better.
Without falsehood, he also wanted to achieve results.
I thought I could enrich this land more.
That's not bad for the territory.
But I guess that's my amateur idea.
"... I am, as you know, an ordinary man. I couldn't get the words right to you, and I couldn't tell you what I just said until now."
Without this kind of motivation, Bulova's father could not convey his sincerity or enthusiasm to his son.
Blois' father was cursing its mediocrity.
Whatever I said, I guess I didn't think I could convince my son.
"If anything... then I was going to leave it to Lyya's son-in-law. In the form of asking you to go to the center of the sopede... but I don't know what you expect, but I just got out of business and nothing changes. After all, there's just work to do."
A father who says hard things to his son who believes in his potential.
The word was well understood by me as the culmination.
Even I am considered the strongest in this country, and in the end I only provide escorts and guidance.
That means it's not that different from what other swordsmen do.
"Whatever Rya is, you'll remember because you've been an expert since then. I can't say it's a good place to live.
"... Yes, I couldn't even say it was good for flattery"
"Yes, recognized for my mediocre work there, I was entrusted with this land. But my very job as a lord never changed that much. Just a little change of position."
I was poor, but I got wealthy.
That would be a big difference, at least your father doesn't take it lightly.
But the faces here now are already wealthy. That's so much envy from the surroundings.
"Even if you're talented, if that's what a civilian does... it's to a large or small extent. You can leave that to those born in the right position."
We know that word seems to run counter to Sopede's meritocracy, but it's different.
"Drop the antagonism you have against Blois, forget all the wisdom you have, such as being talented. You were born as a trail to this house, do your part. It's what we can do to accomplish our job… that we have the strength."
Truncate that being known to the public and engraving a name in history are all trivial.
"If you are truly competent, you should be able to do your utmost for this country, no matter what position you take. Good, sopeid meritocracy… it means dropping something that can't make up the given role, and it doesn't mean you can climb up as long as you only have 'talent'"
"… I remember the liver"
Resolved.
In the end, everything was resolved.
Perhaps if you were as competent as your father, the former head of Sopeds, you would never have had a problem so far in the first place.
Still, as the head of the family, Bulova's father had solved something of the family's problems.
I guess that is, in other words, Sopede's talking strength.
