Clarice felt like she couldn't understand my words, and it was still solidifying for a while.

Well, I do think it's surprising.

Take Empress Philia out of the palace and let her live in my mansion, which is a civilian.

Normally, it's an insane means.

But now this is the most effective way.

"Of course, it's feasible."

After I said it just in case, I waited a while, and Clarice said it out of rigidity, and with an incredible face.

"Oh, Lord Solon's Mansion!? Did Master Solon have a home in Imperial City?!?

"Is that where you care?

"So, because Master Solon is from the Duke's territory on the border, isn't he? I was in Imperial Capital when I was in school, but it was dormitory life, and the Knights headquarters is in the Eastern Harbor Capital. I don't think there's a mansion in Teito."

"Well, yeah, you're right. There's no mansion for me."

"Huh? But I just said, 'Philia, Sophia and Clarice, I'm gonna put the three of you together and make you my woman and make you adorable, so live in my mansion!' You said so."

"I didn't say that... Is the image of me in Mr. Clarice such a beast?

"It's a joke. The Solon I know is very sweet."

With that said, Clarice smiled softly.

When they say it that way by accident, it lights up.

Clarice made fun of me.

"Master Solon, are you lit?

"Because of Mr. Clarice."

"It's a little nice to see Master Solon lit up because of me."

"Glad? Why?

"It's okay if you don't know.... Soon, I was. The real question is about Master Solon's mansion. I was about to be deluded on another topic."

"No, Mr. Clarice jokingly distracted us."

Regardless of my whispering protest, Clarice asked me.

"So, why don't you have a mansion in Imperial Capital and say, 'I'll make you three my women and make you adorable!' What did you say?

"Because I didn't say it!... Eh, I said I wanted the three of us to live in the same mansion. Because there's a good chance Sofia won't be able to live in the palace. Furthermore, the Imperial Palace is full of enemies of Master Philia, and besides, we do not know when they will be targeted by extremist raids. Then you can go outside the palace."

"So you're saying it's Master Solon's mansion to live in?

"Exactly. We have the Virgin Sophia here, and if we keep the sorcery kingdom strictly attached, the enemy won't come in so easily. At least you can guess much more than the Guards"

With so many fine issues, this is the best way to do it.

By Philia, Sophia is free to act in her capacity as the Crown Princess's squire.

On the contrary, when defending Philia, you just need to use Sophia's help.

Anyway, Sophia is the most powerful adventurer of the Knights of St. Sophia. There has never been a more comforting existence.

And Clarice, the exclusive maid of the Empress Philia. For Philia, she must be.

And there's me as escort for the three of us. Phyllia and Clarice are powerless in combat.

Whether it's Sofia or having tremendous power doesn't mean it's perfect.

Sophia is a Virgin specializing in attack magic and healing magic.

Other than that, especially in terms of defense, I can be of some use to Sophia, too.

Though I think some of the members of the Knights have more dependable aides for Sophia.

For example, the Holy Knight Cleon.

But Sophia left the Knights hoping. I'm the only one here, so me and Sophia are going to fight together.

Objectively speaking, there shouldn't be many adventurers who can beat the combination of former Knights of St. Sophia Sophia and former Deputy Commander Solon.

"But the problem is with the mansion. You cannot live in a mansion that doesn't exist."

"Mr. Clarice is right, my mansion is not in the capital right now. But then you don't think we should have it?

"Are you buying a house?... You can't give that kind of money to Master Philia. It's the best you can do by paying Mr. Solon."

"It does cost a fortune. Besides, if you leave the Imperial Palace, even the royal budget allocated to Master Philia could be cut."

There is no reason to pay royal fees to people who go out there.

The imperial chamber in financial difficulty would happily reduce the payment of royal fees from the philia.

Even though, there are a lot of princesses, and when summed up, a considerable amount of budget is spent.

Conversely, in exchange for a reduction in royalty payments, the imperial chamber and the government should gladly acknowledge that Philia lives outside the palace.

There will also be the collapse of the Imperial Palace, and some of the princes and princesses will take refuge in the aristocratic mansion, which is their mother's home, and in that sense, the departure of the royal family from the Imperial Palace will not be uncommon.

What remained as a problem was still the question of gold.

I said.

"I'm not going to rely on Master Philia financially."

"So what are you going to do? Will Master Solon buy us a home where the three of us live?

I laughed and laughed and Clarice joked and said.

I nodded without laughing.

"That's what happens. I'll buy the mansion personally."

"Are you sure? But it's a lot of money."

"Adventurers make money even if they do it normally, but if they do it well, they make more money. For example, if you keep a merchant selling treasures under your umbrella, you can also earn profits from it."

"So that's how you've gotten your money, Master Solon?

"Exactly. So there's nothing like buying a mansion in Imperial City."

The wealth brought about by the position of deputy leader of the empire's most powerful group of adventurers was considerable.

Unless it means buying a grand mansion, based on my total wealth, buying a mansion isn't really a big deal.

Sometimes it's not a loss to keep one of the mansions if you're going to keep living in the Imperial Capital, even if you skip the Phillia's problems.

If it's true, Sophia should have quite a fortune, too, but Sophia has deposited her fortune with the Knights, and given the circumstances that have exited the Knights without formally exiting, it was suspicious how much of that fortune could be secured.

Crushed like Clarice was impressed.

"That's Master Solon. You really can make a harem."

"I don't make it, but I forgot to ask you the key thing. Is that really okay with you, Mr. Clarice? I wonder if you would agree with my suggestion. Mr. Clarice can stay in this palace."

"Do you think I would disagree? I think Solon is the best, and if that's for Philia, I agree with you. I'm anxious to be in the Imperial Palace, and I can rest assured by Master Solon."

When I said that, Clarice looked at me upwards.

"I know you do, but please hire me as your maid of honor, don't you?

"Of course, I need Clarice as my maid of honor."

"Yes! Oh, but I just want to say one thing"

With that said, Clarice whispered in my ear as she let her eyes glow naughty.

"If you're really going to propose, that's fine."

"I'm sorry I misled you earlier."

"When Me and Master Solon get married, Master Philia feels like our daughter."

For a moment, I wondered if Clarice knew about the father-daughter I had done with Philia the other day, but that's not true.

Clarice continued with a laugh.

"I'm sure you'll be a happy family. Master Phyllia is adorable!

"That kind of problem?

"Lady Sophia, is that right, Lady Solon's sister? Now we can have a family of four! Hey, you.

For a moment, Philia calling me "Solon Father" and Sophia calling me "Solon Brother" come to mind.

I shook my head to the side in an attempt to shake off my delusions.

Clarice looked at me and laughed joyfully and softly.

And Clarice says in a bounced voice.

"I'm just kidding."
