77 After Days: Halfiss Marriage (2/2)

”I'm saying I'm leaving the house. For once, he says he'll only leave his name...”

”But it doesn't even inherit territory, does it? If the income was from the Ministry of Spirits, you'd get a good salary... but it doesn't mean you're going into your fiancée's house as a son-in-law, does it?

”Yes......”

Hmm, what a bad sitting story.

If that happens. Furthermore, Marion's brother has no territory to inherit, assuming he has a child. This becomes suspicious if you are only the son of a nobleman and your position as a nobleman is guaranteed unless some brother can also stand for merit.

If you do not inherit territory, or if you do not succeed and inherit that status from your parents, etc., your child will no longer have a status as a nobleman. In other words, it becomes a child who is a nobleman's child but has nothing to inherit as a nobleman.

Because noble sons of these troublesome positions are neglected. Nobility is a creature who cares terribly about face to face and his place. That's why it's so thriving to marry or enter the other person's house if you can't stand that...

”Then, as planned, I told Viscount Nebles that it would be better if I joined him as my son-in-law, but in our position, the Viscount or something would be wrong, my brother told me...”

”Uh...”

”I wanted to come up with an answer after a solid thought, but in fact there are many aristocrats who want to bring the fringe to Halfis...”

”Oh... do you have that problem too...”

”My father also said that as soon as this story was decided, I would give up my Lord's seat. Whether that's me or my brother. I already said that I am powerless to take the stage... and if I have the status, I can keep my voice even if I am a young man. That doesn't change either my brother or me. When my mother accompanies my father's will...”

”... as good as it gets”

I think and look with my arms around me. How do I solve this situation?

First, Marion takes the lead and welcomes Halfis as his wife. The reason for this is to set the house up by standing up with the current royal family, that is, me and Uffi, who have a strong relationship.

The problem is Marion's brother's position, which he was supposed to inherit. If you're going to leave the house convinced, including your fiancée, then there doesn't seem to be a problem.

If my parents are convinced, Marion doesn't have a problem. If there's a problem, is it Halphis?

”Have you told Halfis' parents this story?

”Looks like it was already done. When I'm married, the Viscount Nebles have no heirs... so if I don't have an adopted son to see, I'll give him back his status, too. Originally, there was nothing to worry about because it was a family of knights.”

”I mean, I haven't rubbed both my parents and my house. I guess the rest depends on how you two feel.”

”... yes, you will”

”Yeah, I guess I'm good then, huh?

If Halfis is attracted to her current position, I think it would be a good thing to get the status of Countess. It would be one beauty to say that Marion, who married Halfis, continued to protect the ever cold-treated Halfis.

If Halfis is capable of demonstrating his abilities to the fullest, then I welcome both Uffi and I with all our hands. Halfis is a direct disciple after all, but I think it's a good thing if you need him in a position to work hard.

”I appreciate Halfis, and I'm counting on Marion. I wouldn't be happier if the two of you would serve as the Count Anti family, not personally. But even Yuffi would want a supportive talent, wouldn't he?

”... Yes”

”It is true that the disappearance of traces from the Viscount Nebles family also annoys all sorts of people, starting with Marion's brother, who was supposed to be the owner of the Count family. Even the two of you know that makes me feel uncomfortable. That's all the trouble, and you're worried about whether we can really do it.”

When I said that, the two men looked down together.

Good conditions. And then they say it depends on how they feel, and I think there's a lack of confidence in me that these two can't be instantly executed. Halfis out of anxiety for himself, Marion out of the pressure of expectations from around him. I think the specific gravity is different.

Two distressed people threw their voices from my back. That was Ilia listening to the conversation in silence.

”I support it, too”

”Ilia”

”I can't help you both empathize with your troubles. I just have one thing. I support it because that is in the interest of Master Anisphere and Master Uphilia. Your power will certainly help you both. So I can't help but hope that you can use that help.”

In the wake of Ilia's words, the two men, who had slightly let their faces lie down, raise their faces.

Halfis and Marion, stared at the two faces again before I continued to take over Ilia's words.

”You should just bother me. They're expecting you, you two. But I'm not sure I have to live up to that expectation. Because Halphis, Halphis is more confident he can succeed than I am?

”What!? Well, I... I don't think I can”

”Then you can count on me. I'm a little hard without Halfis and the others. I just need Halfis and the others to help me. I don't think I said anything difficult. He listens, he thinks and moves for us. That's all I need. Then I'll help you both. Just like you wanted to teach magic, right?

I don't think we have to carry the responsibility of carrying the house alone.

I could certainly cause a lot of trouble to my family. But I don't think even the two families would suggest that it's just to their detriment.

”Besides, it could certainly bother you now. But you just have to grow up ahead and give it back as much as you can with it. Because we have a future as expected.”

”... Dear Anisphere”

That's right. I, too, don't expect Halphis from anyone anymore, not just to be treated cold.

Maybe not right now. It may take some time. But it's not a situation where you can't even hope for help around you.

I'm here now because I've had the edge I've been connected to. That took me a while to sprout, but that's why I don't have to be pessimistic.

I think there is anxiety. I also think it's natural to worry about it. I can't say I'll ever succeed. Still, I had words I wanted to give to both of you.

”I'm sure Halfis and Marion will be fine. I can believe that.”

That was my heartfelt word.

The two of you will remain silent in my words. It was Marion who opened his mouth first.

”Thank you, Sister King Anisphere. … I'm going to be ready, too”

”Master Marion?

”Halphis.”

Marion deflects her gaze from me and turns back to Halfis. Seeing that serious look, it also calms Halfis' expression, which was puzzling.

Marion gently holds both hands of Halfis. Hold Halfis' hand so that Marion's hands envelop him, and Marion and Halfis face each other head-on.

”Let's get married, Halfis. I want you to set up the Anti family with me. I want to support you now. I want to use it if I have something I can use for it. I'm ready now.”

”Dear Marion...”

”I still think it would be a good idea for me to go to the Viscount Nebles house as my son-in-law if I were to round it up. But if the position of Viscount Lady is going to make Halfis uncomfortable, I want to push your back. If I can gain the strength to protect you, push my brother away, but I want to be in charge.”

To Marion's upright words, Halfis gazes aside.

Halfis squeezed his expression after he looked at me, wandering his gaze to get lost in something.

Turning again to Marion, Halfis smiled slightly.

”... Honestly, things changed and I was confused and wondering if I could really stay like this. I'm just a Viscount Lady, and a while ago I was told I was falling. There's really nothing to be proud of...”

”Yeah.”

”... but right now, I'm working very hard. I think I'm going to like myself. It was so fun and fulfilling. So, so, Master Marion. Can I try my best? I want to be the kind of person who can be recognized by me and all around me.”

Oh, of course.

”... it's me, okay?

”I've never thought of anything but you.”

In response to Marion's words, Halfis turned bright red in his face.

I look out, and I wonder how I reacted. Then I look at Ilia. He got his index finger up and winked like a prank.

Unusual, I also returned the wink and took my index finger to my mouth.

The two of them came back from their own world until Yufi came back out of the palace and rounded their eyes on how they were doing. Until then, they had been holding hands together.
