23 Mariage (2/2)
” Sorry about that... I will do it now” he made his way up to his room with great difficulty, he didn't want to make his parents worried again after just meeting them, that is why he never showed any expression of being tired. it may have only been 2-3 days but sometimes get this great headache, it gave him a lot of pain in unwanted times and situations, like now, he focused on relieving the pain that he almost gave Eren's power secret away
' Yesterday's sleep wasn't enough ' he thought as he covered himself with the blanket and tried to fall asleep to relieve the pain

[ The King's Castle ]
In the throne room, Five men can be seen standing around one man in a huge throne. the king supported his head on the throne with his arm, his eyes never moved, never had any emotion in them and in front of him a one-man is kneeling
He was Roger, the father of Ace
” Lord Breavheart ” Duke Reiss stepped forward with his hands behind him causing Roger to look at him
” stand up, I will be speaking on behalf of the king” he looked at the king who gave him a nod in response
” the 5 councils and the king decided that you...Lord Roger Braveheart should be promoted to a Nobel rank ” said Duke Reiss making Roger shocked, of all the possible scenarios he thought of this wasn't on his list
” I know that you're confused about this but you should know how much power your family hold, it's equal to one of us in terms of land and money. so a power like that shouldn't stay in the hands of a merchant ”
Roger nodded at Duke Reiss words, it is true that his family's power is big and not that of a normal merchant, this is also the reason why the royal family had been on Roger's neck for a long time
' So instead of getting rid of me, they decided to let me in huh?' Roger wasn't stupid to not realize this, he had been in this game for so long, they gave him what he was looking for all these years this easily
Roger stood up and bowed ” I shall accept this promotion humbly your grace ”
” there is condition first...” Duke Reiss said causing Roger to narrow his eyes while bowing ' Of course there is..' he thought
Roger raised his head ” and what that might be?”
” Our families should get together, meaning a marriage between your family and mine” Duke Reiss smiled at Roger with a gentle expression ” You have a son and I have a daughter, what do you think?” of course he wasn't asking, his smile meant that Roger has no chance of refusal
Roger looked at duke Reiss for a moment ” Why duke Reiss family and not the others??” asked Roger
Duke Reiss already know that this question is coming but the answer was the most obvious one ” Because the king wanted that ”
The man on the throne who never leaked a single sound nodded again
” I will talk with my son about this, will his grace give me time?” asked Roger, he couldn't bring himself to force his son on something he doesn't want
” This is a direct order Duke Braveheart, the king gave his orders, go back and prepare for the wedding day, the wedding will be held in the castle at the end of this month ” Duke Reiss's eyes became cold as ice, he addressed Roger with a noble rank meaning that it's already decided which caused Roger's face to twitch at that
' They got me...Damn' This was Roger's greatest fears, he never wanted to get close to them this much, when he heard that he will be a noble he thought they will make him a Barone or something else. being a Duke is the worst, he will be so close to them that he won't be able to move without them noticing him and what is worst is that the king decided to tie his family with another noble family. The Reiss family
