"... it's a more splendid place than I thought."

I arrived at the residence of Rolf and Sophie, and I honestly said so.

In fact, the house, or museum, was quite large.

Rolf and Sophie had bought land on this trad and hid it, so they imagined a fairly small house.

You look like you were betrayed.

Of course, it is not that Rolf's economic power is fooled, but in the case of nobles, it is due to the fact that hiding is divided into two parts.

In other words, when you leave your duty as a nobleman, you have a choice between living just to indulge in leisure as you like, or rather, only to pursue your hobbies.

Rolf was obviously the latter, that is, a hobbyist, so he thought he was likely to be thorough about the house as well.

If the aristocrats say that they will hide in these countryside, it is rarely the case that it is really just a peasant house, and so will Rolf.

I was supposed to imagine it and say that I would stay a lot, but I could sleep more if I wanted to sleep on a tree or in a storm.

Because there was a time when I lived like that before, which is why I would rather be thankful if there was even a roof.

In fact, today, the inn I was taking in the town of Trad was not as big as it was for civilians.

Of course, since Trad is a fairly small town, there is no choice because there is nothing big for nobility, but there was also a feeling that it would be better for Sieg to have such an experience.

In this life, I do not intend to throw Sieg into further war, nor do I intend to sell a fight to anyone, but if hostile forces such as other countries attack as a duty beyond being noble, we need to fight.

At such times, I can't sleep without a shark bed and a luxurious breakfast, so I can't talk.

That's why I wanted to get used to it from a young age and acquire the ability to live alone, no matter what the environment.

Cremant seemed to agree with this, and he always said he wanted to take him on a mountain walk.

This trip will be a good experience for Sieg in that sense.

However, I'm not sure about the inn...

Of course, Clément has been here many times, so I know this.

"Even if you said you were hiding, your father and mother were Duke people. We need servants and escorts. When I think about it, they can both live on their own, but there are not many aristocrats who come here to admire them. When it comes to boulders, you can't even say," Please go to the other house. "

"Sure, if they say so. Even if I say so, it seems that many people can challenge the words of the former Duke."

"Well, that's right... oh"

When you get out of the carriage and try to knock on the door of the building, the door opens before you.

And beyond that door stood a woman.

At about mid-40s, my spine is stretched pink, but my skin has a sunburn and an active atmosphere.

But at the same time, I can feel the elegance.

It is a unique human atmosphere that civilians have never had and that has been tampered with as a nobleman since birth.

Naturally, this is Sophie, Cleman's mother and my stepmother.

"... Clément! You're really here. I wrote to say that I would visit you sooner or later... but I don't know..."

So I stopped talking and saw Chilari and me, Sophie.

All I wanted to do was come with Elaine.

It doesn't seem slightly rubby, but in view of my previous attitude, it is calm, and even more, it seems that I was simply surprised, happiness,

"I'm sorry, Elaine. I tend to neglect others when I live here... I'm glad you're here. But I'm really surprised you're here."

I immediately apologized.

I shook my head to the side,

"No, it's only natural that I remember working quite rudely when I saw you before, looking back. Rather, I appreciate you saying that."

Yes, I lowered my head.

Sophie took a breath there like a real surprise, and then

"... you've really changed, haven't you? I don't know what happened, but... if you're Elaine, you're welcome. And... what about your kid?

I looked at Sieg and said that, and I pushed Sieg's back,

"Auntie! It's Sieghalt! Call me Sieghalt!

Sophie was greeted with the same kind of greeting as Rolf.

Sophie fell in love with him.

"Oh, this is great. I'm Sophie. Your grandmother. Grandpa... Rolf is at the fish farm right now."

"I just met my grandfather!

"Oh, really?

"Yes, I'm staying at home."

"That's right... of course I don't mind. Besides, you don't have to force me to use honorific words. Miss Elaine... do you mind?

"If you'll excuse me, of course."

"I don't mind at all. That's why. Talk as usual."

That's how Sieg nodded.

"Yeah, I got it!

That's what I said.
