62 Episode 58: Thoughts of the Leading Duke (1/2)

”Well, Annis is calm down too. Hey, you got a word from me about the throne, too?

It was Llumiel who waited until I settled in crying scattered and then cut out the subject so.

Attention was drawn to Llumiel, who cut out the topic, and it was up to her mother to tilt her neck.

”What is a word?

”It is the will of these children for Uffi to be king, and I don't mind if you are good. You don't have the right or the right to tell me anyway in the first place. Just one thing, this is the spiritual contractor's advice.”

Father tightens his expression to the word advice. As the tension runs, Rhumiel breaks his face.

”I'm not talking about getting into that. But in the future, when it comes to the right to inherit the throne, it's going to be a lot easier, isn't it? I know you're going to have a problem with that, but what I'm going to say is about the future of Uffi and Anis.”

”... ours?

”That's right. Do you realize how dependent you are on each other's existence?

Ugh. Why are we talking about that? If you look unwittingly disgusted, you flaunt your shoulders like Llumiel says you have no choice.

”It is not an exaggeration to say that you are pairs at the earliest. But we have a position, don't we? You can't say you didn't move to tear you apart in that position.”

”Ha...”

Yufi replied carelessly, but I was afraid of my eyes. Um, you don't have to grab it, do you? Yufi? It hurts a little, doesn't it?

”There, I don't react like that doesn't matter. Yuffi may not care, but if he asks me if I'm going to imitate that around him, then I'm not, am I? But for you, it's a matter of life and death. At a time when Yufi prefers the magic of Anis, you are a Lotus of Trustees. If you want to defend that relationship, you have to strike your hand first.”

”Hitting my hand...?

”It's not that hard. Tell them to publish your relationship properly.”

”...... hahhhh!?”

What a public execution! I mean, me and Uffi, you know, we're dating, so we can officially announce this!?

”I don't mind that, but are we talking about pushing that far?

”I'll be fine!? I'll be fine!?”

”Anis shut up. Even if they think there's a gap between women in the first place, right? If you say so, it's your turn to acknowledge each other with your souls. Go ahead and tell your pop opponent there's no clearance to break in. From the beginning.”

”... to the point of becoming”

Mmmmmmmm......! Oh, that's true......

I'm not going to be told either, and I think the guy who tells Uffi to get kicked by a horse. Then I suppose we'll make our relationship public first.

”... I thought that would happen, but then don't bother the next king”

”I figured I might be an adopted child... I can't say I can't make a precedent with Ufi...”

Ha, and Father and Mother sighed. Yes, yes, I'm sorry! Make it easy! It's me, it's me!

”You can make it, kid.”

”... Yes?

... Llumiel, what did you say now? Am I losing my ear?

”So you inherited it, didn't you? You just have to make something else.”

”... no, I don't have someone!?”

”No, you're here.”

”... Could it be that I'm telling you to make it with Yufi!?”

”You have other options than that?

What are you talking about? You look like that, but you don't know what you're talking about when you say it from me, because it's Lumiel! See, everyone else looks just like me!? It's Lumiel who says things out of common sense!?

”Are you going to tell me that you can't have children because they're women or something like that?

”... Huh?

”Well, I'm sure it's a yes or no because it's hard to say it's a natural pregnancy, but it's not like there's no way, is there?

”Huh...?

”Well, if you say you can't be king unless you're born in the business of nature, you can adopt a son.... What, you don't like it?

”It's too sudden to catch up with my thoughts! Don't talk in your own common sense!

”... Master Anis can say that...?

Shut up, Raini! It's a matter of life and death for me! And I don't think it's because I like it and ignore or break common sense... it's not because...

...... I also think there is common sense to protect! Yes! I'm not saying it's convenient! This is a rounding choice, yes it is a rounding choice!!

”I mean, besides the business of men and women, does Master Rhumi know how to give you children?

”There are a few of them, right?

”A few!

There! Mrs. Nerschel, don't eat! Sit down, please, because I know very well that your desire for knowledge has been stimulated! Don't make your eyes sparkle!!

Or some!? I was fantasizing about this world more than I thought!? Like I want to hear it, I don't want to hear it...!!

”Then it's settled.”

”Yeah, fix it.”

”Huh!? Father, Mother, do you want to clap back there?”

”It will be an unprecedented succession to the throne in the first place. In addition, your magic will only be accepted with a wide heart, no matter what happens.... the rest of you will have given up your throne then!

”Awful! How irresponsible!

”It's not you who's irresponsible! After swinging around! Come on, think about sitting down!

Ugh, ugly...! can't argue...!

”But look, not if that's a foreign law or something!?!?”

”Really? I don't even think that's such a law?

”Llumiel, shut up!

”What, you don't like making kids with Uffi that much?

”Ya meh! Open the door and don't talk to me! It's a delicate story!?”

Mainly ethics, my heart, shame! It's delicate!?

As she was stuffing herself with Rhumiel's words, Yufi caught her from behind and held her tight. Guh, guh, my neck is squeezed......!

”Please calm down, Master Anis. I'm not talking about anything right now.”

”Yu, Yufi......”

”I think even if I inherit the country, I should take a verdict on whether or not to leave my blood behind. So if you want to leave it, you just have to figure out what to do, and I think we should discuss in the country whether we should adopt a child. You don't have to decide anything between us, do you?

”... why is Yufi so calm...”

”That will be the mindset we need as kings. I know your majesty and queen will be worried too, but Master Anis is a beginner and cute person who is not immune to this hand story. Don't hunt him down too much.”

”Dear Uphilia! You're stabbing me in the face!?”

Kill me! Kill me already!! Raini's scratch hurts my chest too!! Why do I have to be so humiliated! Return me, return me to the palace!! I'll take you to the cage already!! What did you know about the throne!!

”What. You don't have to worry about me, do you?

”Shut up! Whose fault do you think it is, Lumiel's idiot!!”

... This happened, but the issue of our right to inherit the throne was thus agreed between us.

Uffi will be adopted by his father and mother. And officially give the right to inherit the throne, and together announce the truth about the Spirit covenant. After the announcement, it was decided to take the verdict of the nobles once again.

Depending on the outcome, it will change again, but by all means, Uphilia will move to become king.

It's good that the conversation was wrapped up and dissolved, but for some reason, me and Yuffi were to be taken to the Duke of Magenta house by Lady Nerschel.

”If Uffi were officially adopted by His Majesty, he'd be out of touch with us, wouldn't he? Well, then, at least let me take the time to talk to you until you feel comfortable at the end, okay?

If you say so, it's hard to say no even to me. Raini asked me to leave the palace to report to Ilia, so I was the only one who came to the Duke of Magenta's house.

Plus, I'm staying today, so I totally treat you like a customer. Hmm, I'm not comfortable when I say I'm not comfortable because I've never received much welcome like this...

”It's a shame though. I can't believe Uffi found someone to admire from the bottom of his heart, but he's soon out of touch...”

”I have no choice. Don't talk too much.”

”I know. But it's a real shame. Wow... even though Master Anis might have seemed like my daughter...”

Lady Nerschel spits out her thoughts like a real spare in the carriage to the Duke of Magenta's house. Lord Grants to blame for that, but make him see compassion and see that the couple is good.

I'm going to keep my precious daughter from those two. I feel completely different from when I came to say hello before, so I'm even more restless. Even though time had not passed since then, everything seemed to change dramatically.

”When the situation settles, it will also be possible to exchange words face-to-face, even if the edges cannot be restored. Until then, please be patient, Mother.”

”Yep. You're my daughter, Yufi. I've always thought of you.”

Gently smiling at each other, Yufi and Mrs. Nerschel. Lord Grants is watching those two quietly. I have trouble pinching my mouth for parent-child conversations and am just silent.

While doing so, the carriage stops at the Duke of Magenta's house. I got off the carriage at Lord Grants' escort and went inside and the servants were waiting for me to welcome them.

”Welcome home, sir.”

”I'm back now. Take some time to talk. Tell Caind to show his face too.”

”I'm in awe”

The butler gives Lord Grants the courtesy of directing him before gracefully walking away. Caindo-kun's name made me round my eyes a little bit. Though I think I have to explain, I was wondering if you were going to let me be there.

You felt the gaze of my doubt, Lord Grants gazing at me. Nothing in particular to say, Lord Grants only nods once and walks ahead.

Hmm... It's not like I have to pinch my mouth, but I have to say something. Without further ado, I was guided to a room where I had a tea party with Master Nerschel.

When you enter the guest room first and wait, Caindo-kun will be informed that you have arrived. Caindo-kun, who came into the guest room to continue, looks somewhat discouraged.

...... hmm? Could this have been squeezed after our last visit?

When I turned my gaze to Kaindo-kun like I was suspicious, he looked me in the eye that seemed kind of complicated. It's confusing, then it's an eye that wonders if we should rebel. I'm in trouble for being turned around like that......

”Caind, sit down.”

”... Yes, Father”

Lord Grants prompts Kaindo-kun to take his seat.... Ugh, it's not air to laugh and have fun chatting. But there is a limit to the amount of time you can have as a family for Uffi and for the House of the Duke of Magenta.

Even Lord Grants is on official business, and Yuffi needs to be ready to be adopted to inherit the throne. That will inevitably keep me busy. This could be the last time.

”Caind, listen carefully. This is a matter of decision.”

”... what is it?

”It has been decided that Ufilia will be adopted by the royal family.”

”... Huh?

Why, as Caindo-kun said, he looks up. Lord Grants tells only the facts pale in return for such a caind.

”This has been a secret story with the royal family for a long time, but given the current state of the country, there was a voice for prophecy that Princess Anisphere's reign had concerns that would lead to the rebellion of the country. That's where the white feather arrow stood. From now on, Uphilia will become a member of the royal family by becoming an adopted child and will be granted the right to inherit the throne.”

”What!?”

I can't believe it, Kaindo-kun looks back at Yufi like he said. Yuffi is sipping tea without anything in particular on his face.

”Did your father tolerate such impotence...?

”Unhelpful or nothing, it was Uphilia who brought it up. Sure, I offered a choice as one of my measures, but I didn't think it was a good idea. As a matter of fact, that's why I told Uphilia to cut off the edge of the house.”

”… did you already talk about that during your previous visit?
