Chapter 76 (2/2)

「It would be fine if they eventually become an adventurer, but before that, I want them to know about ordinary life as well」

「Good point…… Boy, aside from battle, it seems you also suited to be internal affairs officer」

「No, that was…… it’s just because I have soe in that matter」

As I humbled myself, the conversation broke off, and only the sound of the meal continued for a while

Then, the king suddenly said

「ーOh right, Alfred」

「What is it, your majesty」

「Don’t be so stiff here」

「But……」

「That’s right, it reether」

To reed with the king

「…… But it’s only here okay?」

「Aah I also didn’t want to make your position worse」

「No, even that Marquis was……」

Father switched the way he talks

Because of father, the king shed

「Froainst you to become Marquis That’s why I pick a duke」

「I thought so…… really, you know that I can’t refuse it, that’s why you do that 」

「Hahaha, but, if I told you, it would be just the usual whi It’s to decrease the people who are openly attacking you」

「Yeah yeah…… I know you are trying to protect me」

「Yes, right, that’s the feeling! Chatting with Eriza is fun, but It’s really different when talking between a man」

「Ara, are you unhappy with me? Then, I’m sorry your majesty」

The Queenー Eriza-san? Turned away her face

「I didn’t say that But, for 4 peopleー no, it turned out to be 3 people……」

「You are the most who sad about that, Alfred」

「I know……I know, but it feels lonely」

「Fro, you only like Kanan, aren’t you?」

「Wha…… That’s not true! If you say that, then even you have an interest with Alfred aren’t you?」

「Fu fu fu What do you think?」

「dae the question like that」

「Anyway, Alfred, you and Kanan were in love with each other, there was even no space for us to break you two」

「……You guys really don’t change」

Alfred-tousan mixed a wry s in his tone

Julia-kaasan looked at father with a great interest

「Oh yeah, Alfred」

Just now, the king looks like had co and said

「What?」

「I will appoint you as the leader of the Royal Guard」

「Pfffftーーーーーー!」

Father spat out

「Your 【Leadershi+p】 skill is high enough to lead the aruard at the eency There also no problem in terms of skill, achievement, personality, and appearance」

「Bu-but, I have a territory……」

「It’s okay to leave it to an officer right?」

「There also nobles who hates half-elf……」

「I will shut them up」

「The current leader has more skill level in 【Swordsht?」

「It’s true that he was skillful at sword, but he is too a to interfere with the conflict between son to be the next king, also he didn’t care much about his subordinate」

「Eh? Hasn’t it been decided that prince Ilfreed will be the heir?」

「Irenth’s illness is so, Irenth needs to regain his physical strength to work or the succession conflict that will happen again As you know, Santadom choose successor to the throne based on ability and achievement」

「In return, the candidates anted to succeed the throne were given privilege and duty to assist the king by joining the 『Royal family』」

And father looks at me and said

「Right This method has the effect to reduce the conflict between the candidates to some extent, but if you want to be closer to those in power, the proble and become 『Royal family』 The size of the structure is different after all

Well, that is why to support and protect a particular royal family, it’s impossible for the Royal Guards to leave royal family」

「But, to begin with, to become the leader of the Royal Guards, you need to be a noble or royalty, right?」

「Aren’t you a Marquis? If a Marquis isn’t enough then I don’t know anything else? You can even maneuver ould succeed the royal throne if you want to If it’s possible then can you do so to the close aide of Royal Guards!」

「Ugh, so this peerage just for this after all……」

「That’s good rightBesides, it will also protect you and your families」

「To protect us……?」

「Listen to ht now, you provoke jealousy froarasu〉and 〈Black Wolf Fang〉right

This is a measure to keep me safe and protect you and your family at the same time」

Father was silenced by the king who spoke with a serious expression

「And there is that boy too

If soe is way too far to reach from Imperial Capital

Also, there are so many people in Imperial Capital, so the boy will be hard to be noticed

Above all, this Imperial Capital is sturdy Even those heretics and those God apostle can’t do whatever they want here」

「That is……」

「Beside, even I was called as the king of wisdom, if I do a reform, I’m sure someone will resent me

Of course, Eriza will be with eted In such situation, it will be good if there was someone that I can rely on

Alfred, I believe you can help me, will you lend me your power?」

After said that, the king turned toward Alfred-tousan and bow his head

As a king, he should be able to appoint father as a royal guard with royal authority

And yet, he bowed his head not to the Marquis Chrebl but to his old friend, Alfred Chrebl

Father and Julia-kaasan look at each other

Mother sweetly smiled and nodded

Perhaps she said to father to do as he likes

「P-please raise your head…… No, it’s wrong, please raise your head」(Tn: he change his way of talking from formal to informal)

Father said and sighed

「Honestly, I feel like waiting for disaster and capital punishment for a half-elf…… but I understand There is also a matter about Ed too, and it’s a request from Vis too

ーI will take the job as the leader of the Royal Guard」

「……That was helpful」

The king said so and sighed with relief

「But, I don’t have a mansion in Imperial Capital As the leader of the Royal Guards, I think I need to have mansion in the old city, but there is no more land in old city, isn’t it?」

The land in the old city was limited because it was surrounded by a lake That’s why, the residential area of the old city was already filled with the powerful royalty and aristocrat, my father explained it on the way here

For that reason, having a mansion in the old city was needed as a status for nobility in the Santadom

Even so, father was talking about mansion in the old city not because he wants a status suitable for the leader of Royal Faht order It’s siuard, he can’t do soerous situation unless he lives in the old city

The golden gate bridge was going up at night, it will be io back and forth between the old city and new city

「Of course I’ll prepare a mansion in the old city The initial costs are paid froet The purchase cost of the ht order, it should be as an offset of that allowance」

「In the old town……? But there was no vacant ht?」

「The uson is vacant」

「Marquis Ferguson……」

Father was curious and frowned his eyebrows

looking at the situation, the king bitterly smiled

「It’s not like I didn’t kno you feel, but don’t make such a face

I guess it uson who is a conservative leader was also famous as an artist-patron

I already visited it, and it’s a pretty good house」

「But looks like there will be a grudge frouson」

「It see cold as well, I ad at that time Of course, maybe you will meet him face to face, but it will be okay」

「I will be grateful then I will take over as soon as the next commander of the third division is decided and move to the Imperial capital」

「Please As a king, it will help ood to know a trusted person with an ability like you will be beside me

Only those who have sat on the throne will know this feeling of loneliness……」

the king lonely smiled, it doesn’t suit someone with the nickname The Merry Monarch

The queen who sat next to hiently

Thus it has been decided, our fadom, Monnochanus
