Chapter 75 Part2 (1/2)

“Earl-sama, you are quite stiff, aren’t you?” (Burkhart)

“Well, that’s my nervousness” (Wendelin)

◆◇◆◇◆

It’s onethe dispute with the Browig household, Erw having his heart broken and the opening of the Grand Marriage Interview Meeting

Finally I have turned 16 years old and at last the e ceremony will be carried out in the completed principal residence of the Earl Baumeister household

Of course I don’t have any experience in getting married even if my previous life is included

Since it’s unusual to be a single with 25 years in my previous world, I had decided to excuse it with “It can’t be helped”

At least I attended the weddings of relatives and the early es of friends several times

At those tiirls ere the friends of the bride since I was easygoing as person not concerned or wetted the wick of roo reception

I was a really carefree person on the e ceremonies of other people

However, the current me is a noble

Moreover, an Earl and as such I’e Lands development with the sponsorshi+p of the royal family

Of course it’s bad if I don’t invite plenty of distinguished guests

High-ranking nobles from various places, iovernment and normal nobles I had relations with

It seems there are also many patterns where heirs attend as representatives, if the other party is a noble with a slightly lower status, but this time everyone replied that their family heads will attend

I wonder if it’s preferable with onlythem?

It’s wrong if I don’t invite other attendees without revealing that

『There are also nobles ill get angry if they aren’t invited』 (Roderich)

Roderich was concentrating on checking the list, but since nobles are creatures with high pride, there’s the possibility that they will becoed, emotional nuisances if only they aren’t invited

From his point of view, he probably wants to avoid a second Baron Rückner

『Since they are free to not come, I think we have to send as many invitations as possible』 (Roderich)

『What an annoying idiosyncrasy…』 (Wendelin)

『As a matter of fact, the ood if they don’t bring a large aifts are troublesome too…』 (Roderich)

『Isn’t it us ill be troubled with the return gifts?』 (Wendelin)

『There is the attending of important ceremonial occasions of the other party as well』 (Roderich)

『I already don’t wanna go from now on』 (Wendelin)

『Well, you will definitely be invited』 (Roderich)

With the invited guests and their attendants and guards the city of Baulburg was overfloith people Thorsten’s group was very busy with their guard duty as it would be bad if so happened

Of course, Roderich was even busier

Given that he was e ceremony by himself, he continued in a state where he couldn’t take a break at all even though he was a need

In the end he has accepted the eight years old granddaughter of Minister Rückner as first wife and in addition the eldest daughter of the Commercial Affairs’ Earl Leche, Katia

Since talks about business connections will appear once the development of the Baumeister Earldom proceeds, it took such shape

As an 8 years old child isn’t able toat the capital Her child will succeed the household of that disturbing Baron Rückner while Katia’s child will succeed a retainer household That’s how things were settled

At that point in time Roderich himself hasn’t participated much in the discussions nobles are bothersome creatures

Since there are also cases where children aren’t born even if it was decided in such ain troublesome in such case

The point is that they want him to properly make children if possible

『Uh…』 (Roderich)

If Elise doesn’t give birth to a boy, it will likewise become troublesome

Even if I’m told that, I won’t know until that time comes

Since it won’t become that much of a probleirl unless it’s deep in the sticks, I’er of such matters

『At any rate, I’e rush』

As Roderich said, I think I only left e ceremonies in this month

Due to the ht at the Grand Marriage Interview Meeting, everyone ended up bustling about every day

◆◇◆◇◆

『Erich-nii-san, I won’t be able to appear at the after-party Sorry』 (Wendelin)

『Are you busy?』 (Erich)

『Today there will be two e ceremonies of retainers after this…』 (Wendelin)

『You have my condolences』 (Erich)

I attended the e ceremony of Erich-nii-san, who presented his concubine at the capital, on the way, but I wasn’t able to take it slowly overly much

Given that I can use 『Teleportation』 without thinking about it, I was tied with a tight schedule by the demon Roderich

『For a noble to attend three e ceremonies in one day, it's the first time I heard of that』 (Helmut)

『Helmut-nii-san, won’t you attend as my representative?』 (Wendelin)

『No, no, that’s impossible since those are the ceremonies of your retainers, Wend!』 (Helmut)

Helmut-nii-san, ent to a ceremony yesterday in the sa eyes

Even though it’s just a ceree as it has a connection with me Because the schedule was unreasonable for theht father, ether to the capital with 『Teleportation』

As expected, evenanymore

Having surpassed the age of 50 and greeting important nobles and such for their first time, they apparently have various difficulties

Withlike a taxi, I’hters and auished nobles once I appear at the ceremony

Once that finally stopped and I got to sit down on h

『Wend-sama, this is delicious』 (Wilma)

『Wil manner is lovely…』 (Wendelin)

『Feeling good…』 (Wilma)

Considering Wilma, who sticks to her usual routine at such ti her head instinctively

Once she attends a party, she will search for delicious food and eat it

Why I had only her accompany me as fiancée was because it was decided that they would take turns with just one of the with me at a time as we are too damn busy

Since Elise and the others, who aren’t attending, are hectic with the preparations for their ownhooky

『Earl Bauar)

Even Minister Edgar, who is her father-in-laas the same type as Wilma

Being next to Wilma, he stuffed his cheeks completely like doushi+ with the hter-in-law

『Minster Edgar, you are eating well』 (Wendelin)

『Since I don’t have any hobby except eating』 (Edgar)

Be that as itup with siet fat

I have heard this from his son, Thorsten

As it’s an event where he eats at a party to which he was invited by another noble, he lets out his appetite

『You can avoid troublesoar)

『Father-in-law-sama, this is delicious Will you eat it?』 (Wilma)

『Ooh, ar)

『Got it』 (Wilma)

I think it’s probably tolerated because he is a noble belonging to the military

However, even though they are not related by blood, they resembled parent and child quite well

『Paul-nii-san, what’s your impression?』 (Wendelin)

『Having tives is bothersome Wend, you have nicely accepted five people』 (Paul)

I call out to Paul-nii-san who is together with Minister Edgar

Since Minister Edgar is his patron as interuard, even Paul-nii-san’s concubine is related to Minister Edgar That means even today’s attendance is an important job for him

『So six people』 (Wendelin)

『The youngest daughter of the Browig household, was it?』 (Edgar)

『Now it’s forh…』 (Wendelin)

『How adar)

Once Minister Edgar hitsfor a moment

Fro, but with his strength being too powerful, the dah

『I heard the story about your friend, Erwin, having his heart broken Is he alright?』 (Paul)

If it was a genuine noble, they would likely have criticized Erw, but since Paul-nii-san doesn’t see with Erho had his heart broken, as a man

『Even I, since it was in uard… Even when I wanted to call out to her, that was impossible as our social positions were too different If I consider that, we are now poles apart though』 (Paul)

『Was that so?』 (Wendelin)

If you think about it logically, the chances for Paul-nii-san to become a noble were slim

Therefore, if the wohter, there was probably nothing that could be done about it

『I believe that Erill be alright』

『Certainly, he is strong-willed…』

『hello, young lady I’ the Earl Baumeister household』 (Erwin)

Erw put his effort into searching for an ideal wife and called out to a woman who looks beautiful and unmarried

He has a level of toughness where you wouldn’t believe that he had his heart broken just recently

『If he isn’t at least this strong-willed, he won’t be able to work as adventurer』 (Wilma)

『Indeed…』 (Paul)

Paul-nii-san deeply nodded towards Wilma’s opinion

『By the way, how did it go at Hermann-nii-san’s place?』 (Wendelin)

He searched for a concubine after taking into consideration Minister Rückner since he leads the former Baumeister main family, but there was actually one problem

Marlene-sister-in-law-san, who is Her because she is the daughter of a retainer, albeit a relative

As Hermann-nii-san, who is the second son, was expected as heir of the originally retainer household, he didn’t usher in a wife from outside

『If I unskilfully bring in a concubine fro of the concubine will end up becoh』 (Hermann)

No hter has a higher social standing than the daughter of a retainer

『Uwah! It’s that kind of difficult story!?』 (Paul)

As Paul-nii-san had his stomach apparently filled with such kind of stories, he openly showed a unpleasant expression

『Even so, it looks like Minister Rückner’s group earnestly searched for one』

『I searched as well! I exerted ar)

Minister Edgar joins the conversation while enjoying a second serving of the meat dish with Wilma

『There are few precedents, but in such situation it’s nore of the wives’ rank Earl Baumeister, your elder brother clearly denied that It feels like that guy is unexpectedly quite ar)

It’s a fact that the rank of Marlene-sister-in-law-san is low even as daughter of a retainer belonging to a high ranking noble It looks like it was an unexpectedly hard fight for Minister Rückner’s group to search for a concubine

There were many households which ca 『Well, then our daughter will become the first wife』

『Rückner that fool broke down there for a moment and asked your elder brother for a tear)

『If he tells Her…』 (Wendelin)

Hermann-nii-san is a parson who calmly opposed even Kurt as the next family head

It’s impossible for him to s such demand

『Just as you thought, he clearly told hiar)

『If it’s Hermann-aniki, he will say that』 (Paul)

Currently Marlene-sister-in-law-san seenant for the third time It will be fine if he searches for a concubine within the territory as long as the pace of the retainers and village head the development of the territory doesn’t sink

『So, what happened?』 (Wendelin)

『Rückner searched aar)

『That oofs up, doesn’t he…』

『His ability to follow-up is ah』

Finding a fourth-born daughter of a certain Baron household, he apparently decided to have her hter-in-law

『Daughter-in-law?』 (Wendelin)

『She’s a daughter as born between the family head and a commoner from another place…』

Since she was made outside, she isn’t able to enter the main fahter even though she is a blood-related daughter

As she is an adopted daughter, that means that there won’t be any problems with her even as concubine

『That’s a disgusting story…』

『I know that al wife is a terribly harsh woman Did he want her to feel at ease soirl would be toral wife even if he let her enter the ar)

There appears to also be the reason that it should finish without that many problems if it's a rural noble household like our ho support

『The person herself was delighted It's because her children can becoar)

『In that case, all that remains is Marlene-sister-in-law-san’s mood, huh…?』 (Wendelin)

『If it’s Here』 (Paul)

Paul-nii-san andabout this topic as the rest is an issue of the people themselves

By no means we did so because ere scared of Marlene-sister-in-law-san

『You have to be careful as well, Earl Bauar)

『I have the duty to make sure that the children of Elise and the others won’t have any inconveniences』 (Wendelin)

I won't be able to give all of theuarantee the livelihood

Being a family head is quite difficult as well

『Earl Baue and territory to the children of your elder brother whoar)

Minister Edgar’swas on his mind

Maybe the case with Aot leaked? (T/N: Story from Interlude 21, will be translated in due time)

『(It shouldn’t have been exposed…)』 (Wendelin)

When I’ within my mind, my shoulder is suddenly tapped

The one who tapped it was Wile amount of meat dish

『It has the tacit consent of Elise-sama』 (Wilma)

『(It has been exposed~~~!)』 (Wendelin)

I raised a screa cold sweat

If I voiced it out, that would end up being recognised as truth

Although it has already been exposed, there’s no particular necessity to acknowledge it and I will try to gloss it over by acting Earl Baumeister-like

『I don’t knohat’s it about though』 (Wilma)

『(Say, Wend It’s very unlikely that it hasn’t been leaked to the surroundings after five days passed)』 (Paul)

『(No, as that’s work…)』 (Wendelin)

『(Our territory’s development is too fast)』 (Paul)

It see the territory’s developood

When Paul-nii-san pointed it out, I finally noticed my blunder

I have decided to not decrease the frequency of the clandestine s no matter what

◆◇◆◇◆

Lately it was busy with such a feeling:

『I haven’t hunted at all for this one month』 (Wendelin)

『It’s impossible schedule-wise』 (Roderich)

With the attendance of s or public works, my schedule was filled to 99

And, as today’s e ceremony, I, ore an expensive ceremonial dress exclusively for nobles which was ordered for the sake of this day, have been pointed out by Burkhart-san, who ca, that I’m stiff due to nervousness

“One will be nervous if it’s that line-up” (Wendelin)

“Certainly, even my master apparently didn’t expect that the line-up will be up to this point” (Burkhart)

It’s fine that there are many nobles

I don’t particularly mind my family either

My family has a weak aura of nobility, except Erich-nii-san, anyway

The rave Broho’s already an acquaintance and thus not a problem

“His Highness, the Crown Prince, I don’t have anymet him overly much” (Wendelin)

“Soh” (Burkhart)

“Eh? Is that so?” (Wendelin)

His Highness the Crown Prince attends the e ceremony of the family head of the Earl Baumeister household, which will beco the South in the future

Since the Savage Lands develop in the future king to attend such event

However, given that I don’t re with His Majesty

“His Highness, Waldo, is fa out much” (Burkhart)

He seems to be a person who excels at literary and military arts, but for some reason he appears to not be very conspicuous

If you talk about hihness, I guess?

“His Highness is still fine” (Wendelin)

Since he is His stealthy Highness anyway, I shouldn’t be bothered about hiins

“Why the h?” (Wendelin)

Marriage ceremonies in this world are split into a ceremony in a church, which is limited to no one but carefully selected attendees and fa reception that is carried out in a mansion or such

There’s no great difference to the e ceremonies on earth in that aspect

However, the one who e ceremony all by himself is the most eminent main priest in the church

If talking in earthen tere ceremony as priest-sama

I think it would be weird to not be nervous about this

“Since it's the hter, he can’t play the role of priest himself here” (Burkhart)

The church has the peculiar rule that a relative can’t play the role of priest ((in such situation))

Originally it wasn’t strange even if he had the role of priest since he is the person said to be closest to beco the next main priest, but today he obediently sat down in a seat of honour on the relatives’ side

The roles to lead the brides to the priest at the tiiven to Viscount Hohenheiar for Wilma, Heinz for Katharina and their respective fathers for Ina and Luise

Which reminds me, I met with Ina’s and Luise’s fathers for the first time, but their faces became stiff due to tension because of their ihters ast those attendees

I can relate to their feelings very well

Even I originally belong to their side as petty bourgeois-like man

『It’s great that you aren’t a daughter, Wendelin…』 (Artur)

My father showed an expression of relief fro at ease that he won’t have to do that

“Welcoraveyard of life” (Burkhart)

“You are saying that as need, Burkhart-san?” (Wendelin)

“Humph I’m pretty much your senior as married person” (Burkhart)

“By ht?” (Wendelin)

“Even so, senior is senior” (Burkhart)

Burkhart-san, as made to marry forcibly by his master due to the reason that the inheritance after his death mustn’t cause problems, seemed to pay attention to his attire and had a more beautiful robe than before

With hi a faint scent of perfuet married after all

Hea distinctive body odour pointed out by Elise’s group before

“Leaving that aside, the madams have many difficulties”

Because it’s five people at once, there are apparently many important nobles

But on the other hand, since there are alsoand increase afterwards, it’s not like it’s that many either

Apparently there are also so successful, wealthy merchants Even the size of those numbers became one parameter to measure how successful their business was

“Artur-san has actually several dozens as well” (Wendelin)

“It’s not that many, Earl Baumeister-sama” (Artur)

“Yo, wealthy merchant” (Burkhart)

“Yo, ot married” (Artur)

As we are talking in the waiting room before the cereoverns

He deployed helpers from his co short of hands

“Although there are many such talks since our recent expansion is quite extreme, I’m too busy for that, Earl-sama” (Artur)

Even so, as the surroundings were apparently noisy because a person, who holds assets at the level of Artur-san, has only one wife, he now has three wives

“It’s not like I don’t have any particular interest, but it’s also true that the work’s side is quite interesting” (Artur)

“I wonder which side applies to me?” (Wendelin)

“Please indulge in love at least during the ti That also includes theof the perpetuation of your descendants” (Artur)

Artur-san, who beca polite

However, he probably thought that I will draw back if he abases himself too much all of a sudden

He has kept it slightly half-baked

Given that Burkhart-san is my master, he stays the same as until now unless it’s a formal occasion

I think it’s great for that person to be easygoing though

“Burkhart, you have nicely stopped at only one wife” (Artur)

“Several of the, she will probably give birth to children normally” (Burkhart)
