After half a month, your mother did not return.

"Looks like the Earl's cold is worse than you thought, and your medical attention has been prolonged. He said he could relax a little bit and then come home."

I am disappointed in Sebastian's words.

"Shall I pick you up? I want to see your grandfather."

"It's hard to catch a cold with your daughter, so the Count has told me you don't need sympathy."

Yes, and I dropped my gaze on the letter in my hand. Sebastian looked at me to comfort me, so I told the old butler to look at the letter in his hand.

Letter from Dominic Kirchner.

It says I want to take a dragon chick. I asked you a question about when, but at any rate, you wanted to talk to me when your mother was here.

"It would be better if it were sooner."

Lightly, Father decided to set the day. I write back to Dominic.

His father, who rarely noticed how I was sinking, stopped his feather pen hand.

"You don't seem too happy that the dragon is coming, do you?

I was invited by hand, so I go beside my father.

I shook my head.

"I'm so, so glad, Father. - But it would have been nice if you had a mother, and... Hannah was able to lay her eggs safely, because she used to have a mouthful of her mother's, right?

When the Kirchner brothers asked for Father's help, Father refused with awe.

"I feel sorry for Hannah," said Mother, who moved her reluctant father - although I think.

Without denying it, Father murmured, yes.

"A letter came from Yadovica. The Count is not ill, but he is old, too. Stay a little longer and see how it goes before heading back. - I'll be back in a little while."

I hope I don't have anything to worry about, but my lost father's finger softly caught my head. I wondered if you would stroke me, but my unfamiliar father wouldn't get that far.

"Tomorrow, I'll go to the royal palace again. Yuzef will be there, so let's see how it goes. If the Count is in good health - it seems okay to visit Kaminski's mansion now"

"Are you sure?

"The Count will be glad when Remilia comes."

Master Yuzef is Yadovica's mother's brother and belongs to the army.

You're in the central army now, and you're supposed to be in the king's capital. I'm coming through Kaminski's mansion, so you'll know how it goes.

At times like this, nobility is a hassle......

Although my father is not often asked to visit and refused because he is a duke (in the first place, he is someone who doesn't really want to go among others), sudden visits between nobles are not very pleasing.

Take a peek at our very close relatives and we'll see you today! That's a casual promise, but you can't.

"My father - he seems busy, but what are you doing in the royal palace?

"It's your job."

Father lied.

You're not gonna tell me?

Even though it is rare for my father to go to the royal palace where his feet thrive. Disgruntled, when he wrote on his face and found his father, he smiled bitterly at his beautiful face.

"I'll let you know when Remilia's a little older."

"I'm eleven now, Father. Your father was already a duke by the time he was eleven, wasn't he?

"Was I? I don't know because I haven't worked much now or in the past."

Father said without evil. I fell in love......

Without concealing his dissatisfaction, Father shrugged his shoulder and removed the large piece of paper from the shelf. "Look," he spreads on his desk.

A map of the continent.

On the continent lies the Kingdom of Cardina in the centre, the Empire of Fans in the east, and then Tice in the west. Three great powers are located, and then there are a number of small and medium-sized countries.

Father pointed to the border with Tice. Canaan, with a place name on it.

Tice and Cardina fought over the border until Remilia was born.

Cardina and West Country Tice have historically been not very close.

Although there is a visible border with the Fan Empire called North Mountain (and buffer material called the Dragon Nation living in North Mountain), I learned from the tutor that the border with Tice has always been fluid for the past hundred years.

"His Majesty made an agreement with the former King of Tice, committed to peace after his reign. Even Canaan as Cardina, he said. Tice received compensation from Cardina and was convinced..."

But Tice's former king disappeared last year.

Tyce's current king has been notified that the previous king's agreement is an antiquity, so as to return Canaan or reapprove the compensation.

I am so-so! and put his hand on his chest.

Was that happening? Moreover,

"The lord of Canaan is nominally..."

"Vaza, right?

Yes, Father snapped his finger at the map.

"Canaan is Vaza land. Though Jigmunt Laem is ruling on my behalf, assuming he is uncle Canaan,... I have the right of inheritance, and the actual administration is taken by His Majesty's deputies"

I lowered my brow a little when I remembered Zigmunt Lame's grey hair and light watery eyes. Though there have been several times in the heavy towns of the clan, it is shady, and I do not like it.

Was my father busy because of Tice?

"Why is Tice's border the land of Vaza? If it's such an important land, it looks like it could be a direct jurisdiction..."

My father bent his mouth a little sarcastically to me as I leaned his neck.

"If Canaan was taken by Tice... if that was royal land, would the royal impression on the people be bad? Then you should keep it in the old royal land..."

The contemplating father loosened his expression when he saw me with a strange face.

"And I guess this is the place. It's not essentially my land, but it's nominally my land... it's useless where I was, but I can't allow my absence to be at a meeting to decide what to do"

Father said as he exhaled, and the story was cut up there once.

"This story is now, let's end it. - And one more thing, Your Majesty asked me about you."

"Are you talking about me?

Dodging, beating faster.

To be honest, I'm afraid of His Majesty Beatrice.

In the game, Master Beatrice has a lot of scary stories just to be introduced in one word: "Sick fallen, strong and calm queen..."

You shut down the previous king, or you secretly murdered your husband and wife.

You think you poisoned your nipple brothers for assassinating you?

Or angry at the army for plotting a counter-insurgency, drastically reducing its personnel, mostly using the means of execution, etc... It won't all be true, but the scary rumors can't be more than enumerated. The popularity of the people is high, but the enemy has no mercy.

I haven't had many chances to see you, but I've never had a smile on my heart. For Your Majesty, what would I do if I were an enemy?

Father didn't notice me frightened in his heart and continued his words.

"To be honest, it's about your engagement."

"What!"

I opened my mouth.

"Wow, I'm only eleven, so that kind of story is a bit..."

Isn't that what your father said earlier? and tilted his neck.

"If you're going to borrow Remilia's words, I was already engaged in the year of Remilia - His Majesty wants you to be engaged to the brother-in-law of a nobleman whose breath took His Majesty's breath, or to Prince Singh. What do you say?"

"Yep!

They said something unexpected, and I didn't think, I shouted.

Father laughs joyfully, even if he's not so surprised.

And Sin (some noble boy) and I are engaged!!

... Speaking of which, you said Isaac had such a story or something, was that true?

"It's a reasonable bond, isn't it? Remilia won't hate Singh, and you can if you want to get engaged. Oh, I've gotten a lot of pictures of other candidates, so I'll show you later."

I was stunned by the light tone.

"... Father"

"Yeah?"

"Is talking about engagement something that makes it so light?! Called into a separate room, more like this, heavily, Remilia, we need to talk, listen... or something like that..."

That's what I wanted you to say with a heavy knoll.

This is today's dedication, not a light nori like that!? It's my daughter's engagement!

When I was peeling, Father said something worse.

"I should have said no because I'm engaged to Henrik?

"I don't want to get engaged!! I will stop that route!

What about your father, Route? and tilted my neck, and I shook my head over and over again.

"Only engagement to Henrik! I will never, Father, go up! No matter what, you can't marry Henrik!

"Really?

"Absolutely!

When you marry me, you're dead, Henrik! They're gonna cheat on me, too! It's a ruin end!!

Father groaned unfortunately at my sword screen.

"If Henrik was my son-in-law, it would be fun to hear the piano and violin every day. Too bad."

Without deciding on my son-in-law for that, if you like music, hire a musician, because he's a duke...

Father laughed and told me how tired he was.

"You're the daughter of the Duke's family, so from now on, engagement stories will come out as often as climate greetings. Don't exaggerate too much. Beatrice isn't seriously going to do anything right now, either. You just want to advise me not to tie the edge on my own."

Beatrice. Accidentally calling it off. Ah.

"I told him it was too early for that story. His Majesty had also given his consent."

"Yes."

When I nodded honestly, Father rose out of his chair.

"Aristocratic marriage is for the survival of the house."

"... Yes"

When I nodded to the special victory, Father looked at me with his watery eyes narrowed.

"But I'm a bit bigoted......, I think Vaza's house and other deserving abilities should inherit what I want. Vaza's fate has run out half a century ago. I don't need to obsess over a house like that and revive a ghost, or marry like you don't want to for that."

The cold tone was the same as "Father" you see in a nightmare.

I blinked my eyes at my father's thoughts the first time I heard them. Did your father - the Duke of Vaza, think so?

Then there can be no such thing as knowing each other as "Remilia" who wants to restore Vaza.

"Remilia" thought that the restoration of Vaza would also be what his father wanted, but was the complete opposite? That was a mistake because of the non-negotiation.

But marriage by accident......

(… was your father and mother unwillingly married?)

I swallowed a question that came up to my throat.

I'm not happy to bump into a question I know the answer to and get a gentle lie for kids.

Then you shouldn't have asked.

"Will Remilia come with me to the royal palace tomorrow? - I haven't decided on a tutor, and I'll be free all the time at the mansion."

I didn't have to answer, and Father decided on his own. Well, it's hima......

I spit out one question that caught my heart. It's not a good idea to have a father and a daughter and not negotiate, is it?

"Father, you said earlier that you should inherit what you deserve, but... for example if I took my son-in-law and said I wanted to inherit the Vaza family... is that offensive to Father?

My father said yes. It's slightly worse, groans.

"Remilia, - that wasn't a statement that looked at your qualities as problematic. If you want to succeed, that's fine. But I don't want you sacrificing for the house - remember that."

"Thank you, Father"

I was relieved.

I have a consciousness that I am not a good daughter to do, so I thought to myself what I would do if I had been limited early on.

"You want to take over the Duke's house?

Yes, no, but I can't answer.

I appreciate your father's feelings, but my mother and grandfather educate me a lot in the expectation that I will do my duty.

"- Not yet, I don't know. Father, but I want to be prepared so that one day I can make a good choice."

Father now looked at me with a gentle gaze.

That's good, affirms me.

"Because you're serious, - how much better a winner you'll be than me and others. Right, you're still a child, so take your time worrying..."

The next morning, still early in the day, I arrived at the royal palace.

Separating from my father, who goes to a meeting, I am led to the princess's greenhouse.

There you are, next to the princess who said, were Marianne and Vincent.

And then I find an unexpected person and I'm about to raise my voice.

Scarlet hair, sapphire eyes.

At first glance, it's like a girl - but I know it's not.

Alexander!

Leto's blood boy draining a lot of aliens. The elder of Vaza, Lady Malaya, said (at will) that he wanted me to be his escort.

Finally, one of the targets of the attack, the boy who will be chief cleric......

Alexander stood up and thanked me.

"Nice to meet you, Master Remilia. My name is Alexander."

"... nice to meet you"

I looked at his emotions and responded.

Francesca stood between me and him, "I'll introduce you to Remilia".

"Alexander is a candidate for clergy in the National Church."

Yeah, I know you. I snort under my faceless expression.

Something that's not the first time. Are you aware of my upset or not?

Francesca continued.

"You've been escorting me since this month."

... hey!
