77 – An important story

The weeklong training is over.

At the end of the training, I was left alone in a remote mountain and had to survive for two days, but since it happened every time, I was able to quickly adapt and survive.

And while the horse was alone, in fact, it was a known fact that Highness Aine and Captain Garrett were lurking nearby to prepare for an emergency.

However, Riel, who didn’t know that at all, was really surprised. When I came back, she cried out loud and looked relieved.

On the day she returned, she spent most of the day comforting Riel, who had been upset.

The day after returning from training.

In my room, I called my younger brothers, Asta and Kino, and set up simple refreshments and drank tea together.

Riel said he had an appointment with Emilia, and she left.

Well, even if I went out, it wouldn’t be much of a problem because it was inside the Arianerod Fortress, and Mr. Rilu followed Riel out just in case.

Still, I was bored being alone, so I called my younger siblings, who were also alone, and had tea time like this.

Well, besides being bored, I also wanted my two younger brothers, who are about to enter the academy in half a year, to get used to tea time.

“…If you go to the academy, most of your friendships go like this.”

“Is that so?”

Anyway, the tea time culture is not very active in the northern region, so my younger siblings were not used to it either.

At most, I’ve done it a few times led by my mother, who is not originally from the North.

However, when you go to the royal road, you have to get used to it because it is a tea time invitation that comes when you are bored.

In particular, invitations came from various families, probably because the count’s importance was so high.

Well, the invitations themselves were selected by Phyllis, so only those that I felt I had to go to were sent to me.

I somehow managed to get through the tea time invitations that were selected by what I had learned from my mother, but I had a bit of a hard time because there were parts that had changed from my mother’s time at school.

And this time, the younger siblings will attend the academy.

I had a fiancé at the time, and I received that much invitation, but it was almost obvious how many invitations would come to my two younger siblings who were completely free.

Especially because of these two’s personalities, it’s also very difficult to get along with the other person.

Well, my mother will gradually teach me, but I can tell you more about what has changed.

That’s how I was teaching them about tea time.

Asta suddenly spoke her words.

“Come to think of it, big brother.”

“What is it?”

Asta wanted to speak up, but he hesitated again.

“Stop talking, if you have anything you want to ask, just tell me.”

After saying that out of frustration, the moment I was about to take a sip of tea, Asta said as if he had made up his mind.

“How far did you go with Sister Riel?”

“Huge!!”

Are you after this bastard?

Why are you asking this the moment the tea goes down your throat?

I managed to somehow survive the spouting of the tea out of my mouth, but I couldn’t stop it from entering my nostrils.

“Heh…Heh…What are you asking all of a sudden?!”

“There are already rumors among the knights, right?”

Asta asked so casually, and Kino, her face blushing.

Astai doesn’t hesitate to ask questions like this unless it’s his business.

Is this it? Is he revenge for tossing Lady Vaniela a while ago?

“No big deal! I’m still a student.”

“But isn’t it okay to proceed with the engagement?”

Engagement.

If it’s about engagement, even if you’re not a student, you can do it at a younger age.

However, the head of the duchy, Duke Ignis, has not come to his senses yet.

It is difficult to proceed with an important matter such as the engagement of a direct descendant without the approval of the head of the family.

Well, as Duke Ignis is currently in a difficult situation to express his intentions, Prince Andrew, the heir to the duchy, could do it on his behalf, but that also requires procedures and is complicated.

And…If I had to, I’d like to do it quickly, too.

Looking in front of my eyes, Asta’s face is amused and Kino’s face is blushing.

“…Huh…Is it right that I should call her unnie…?”

… What did Riel think, she was a little worried about her.

“Is it really possible to do this?!”

As the red-haired girl, Riel Ignis, shouted out in a heartbreaking voice, the gray-haired girl sitting across from her made a puzzled expression.

Emilia Silbrate, a gray-haired girl, was at a loss as to how to react to her friend’s words.

He is like that too, this is what it means to meet.

“How hard I tried and seduced you! You said you didn’t stir once?!”

“Ah…No, he seemed agitated enough…?”

Emilia looked at Lilu, the elf who was sitting next to her and drinking her cocoa, with her eyes begging for help.

Did she notice Emilia’s gaze? Lilu, who briefly met Emilia’s eyes, gave her a slight nod.

I’m glad. If it were Leelu, who had more life experiences than they did, he would help them overcome this situation.

Thinking so, Emilia sighed in relief.

“Riel.”

“Mr. Leelu? What’s going on?”

“To begin with, Kyou seems to care about you very much. Is there a need to seduce you like that?”

Emilia nodded her head in agreement.

This is Emilia, who has been watching them from quite early on. She knows that both Kyouwentos and Riel Ignis love each other very much, and she is always attached to them.

In the academy, the two are already seen as a couple.

“But…But I’m still anxious.”

On the other hand, Riel felt a little uneasy and nervous.

We checked each other’s feelings and started dating, but after talking with the Princess of Carlena not too long ago, my anxiety is growing little by little.

“What are you worried about?”

“That…The kind of thing that makes me wonder if I’ll be taken away if a better woman shows up…”

“What is that?”

Lilu nodded her head in agreement.

Riel and Emilia both looked at Rilu.

“There’s a very simple solution to that.”

“That…Is there such a thing?!”

Riel’s eyes focused on Lilu.

Emilia, too, looked at her, wondering what solution her Lilu would offer.

And then, Leelu’s mouth opened.

“Pounce.”

“…Yes?”

“Make it a fait accompli. Then I can never leave you.”

“Mr. Leelu?!”

In place of Riel, who was dumbfounded with a stupid expression, Emilia shouted her Lilu’s name.

“Why is that? I don’t think there is a simpler way.”

“No, that’s true, but isn’t that way too early for our age?!”

“Is that so? The woman who was with my master said that he actually got his master that way.”

“If you’re Leelu’s teacher, you’re already an adult, right?”

Emilia clutched her aching head and looked at Riel.

Riel also seems shocked when she sees her blank expression.

“Haa… Riel, from my point of view, Kyou-san values Riel very much, so you don’t have to worry about that…”

“…I see, if you make a fait accompli… If you do that, no matter what happens…”

“Riel?! Wake up!!”

Emilia had to spend time bringing the confused (?) Riel back to her sanity.

She sent her younger siblings back, whom she had taught to some extent, and she left the room and walked down her hallway, wanting to take a walk around for a while.

Just in time, she heard a sound from the front door and went to see Riel entering her mansion with Luca, her exclusive attendant.

“Welcome, Riel.”

“Uh…Uhh?! Uhhhhh! I’m here!”

As soon as she saw my face, her blushing Riel stuttered.

Your face is often red, but why are you so agitated?

“Did you enjoy playing with Miss Emilia?”

“Uh…Yeah! Emmy went back to the village, and Mr. Leelu said he would go around and come back…”

“Okay. Then let’s take a break. There’s something important I want to tell you…”

“What do you want to say?”

Riel said with a slightly curious face.

Of course, it is about the engagement that she talked about with her younger siblings earlier.

The procedure may be a little complicated, but I think it would be good to talk about the engagement in advance.

My father and mother are in favor of it, and I want to do it as soon as possible.

Since the rest is Riel’s thoughts and her duchy’s thoughts, it would be better to talk to Riel first.

“Yes. It’s about us…”

“Ooh…Between us?!”

“Yes.”

Riel shouted at my words and was so agitated that her face turned redder than her hair.

Why is he really like this?

“That… I want to talk about the future… Are you sure you’re okay?”

“Huh? Ehhhhh! Nothing! It’s really good!!”

“That…Yes…”

I doubted whether I was really in good shape.

When I think about it, it seems like I sweat a little bit because I went out and came back, and it’s a bit like leaving it as it is.

Even if we talk, I think it would be better to do it in a calm atmosphere…

It would be better to speak while the stomach is a bit full.

“Hmm…Then Riel.”

“Ugh… Yes!”

“Then um…Take a shower first, then come to my room in the evening.”

“What?!”

Riel’s face didn’t turn red so much that it looked like it was about to explode.

No really, why is he doing that?
