Chapter 364
Owen de Getmora gave me a brief greeting and then headed for the main house, saying he had some business to do.
I was quietly watching his back.
Being a Merchant Guild Master is no problem no matter where you are. Of course, they would come and go for things that would make money, and the Duke of Grantz would be a place that would make money as much as it was a place with money.
Not too long ago, it certainly would have been.
However, I now know that he is related to the revolutionary forces.
Owen de Getmora is a man who can go anywhere.
So, you can stop by the Duke of Grantz for any reason, whether it’s on business or not.
Duke Grantz has no reason to be interested in revolution. So it is an overestimate to think that Duke Grantz may have been involved with the revolutionary forces.
But it’s not like there wasn’t a history of nobles who had everything they had and poured everything into such a thing.
He didn’t even describe what kind of person Duke Grantz was, so I don’t know what kind of person he thinks or what kind of disposition he has.
It felt like my head would break.
What if Duke Grantz is a key figure in the revolutionary forces?
Then what was it about?
It doesn’t matter what happens as it’s a relationship that will cooperate in the future from the perspective of the prince of the demon world anyway.
no.
After the Gate Crisis is over.
Assuming the Anti-Imperial Alliance remains unscathed, which side should I be on?
I thought it was bizarre to think about washing the dishes before the main dish even came out.
If the anti-Imperial coalition collapses in order to maintain the Empire, the result will be a massacre.
If you rebel against the Empire while maintaining an anti-Imperial coalition, that is war.
– Knock!
I heard the sound of an outbuilding window opening behind me.
-hey! Won’t you come in soon?
If I don’t come soon, Liana, who is crackling with electricity as if she’ll bake it for me, shouts at me.
probably not
It wouldn’t be Duke Grantz.
Isn’t there a reason?
Why should Duke Grantz, who was born holding an armful of arms and will live holding it in the future, risk it and take on a reckless challenge?
But if not, what else?
Whether or not the Gate crisis is resolved, the moment I formed the Anti-Imperial Alliance, the fact that countless people will die according to my choices will not change.
Whether you choose an empire or an anti-empire.
I just realized another truth that countless people die because of my decisions.
-Don’t stand there blankly and come quickly?!
– Pajik! Dismissed!
“I got it.”
Liana de Granz is ignorant of the world and lives doing whatever she wants.
It would be nice if I lived my whole life not knowing that.
* * *
No matter what I worry about, Riana doesn’t know that.
There was a lot of talk about where to go to play during the winter break, but everyone responded lukewarmly.
“I am going to train. I went back to my hometown this time and rested too much.”
It’s just that Ellen didn’t go to the tournament, but her desire to become stronger was more, if not less, than before. The moment comes when she has to fight the demon king, and she seems to think that at that time, she might have to be in the vanguard, but she should save time.
Even now, I don’t know how long it will be, but there is Saviolin Tana, the continent’s strongest swordsman, in the dormitory.
It seems that Ludwig continues to bully Tana and learns various things, but Ellen didn’t get trained by Saviolin Tana because she was preparing for Miss Temple the other day, and this time she was going back to her hometown.
So I had no choice but to stay warm for a while.
“Yes… … . I also think that the work of the Magic Research Club is getting a little messy… … .”
Adelia also mumbled, but it seemed that the completion of the power cartridge was getting closer and closer, but it seemed that she didn’t want to spend a week or so nearby.
Similarly, Harriet is a guy who doesn’t have enough time even if he divides his time into researching dimensional magic.
“Thank you in many ways today, but I’m going to be busy too.”
Even if I can’t explain it, I can make an excuse that I’m busy after all, and the reason for my busyness is because of personal training like Ellen.
at last.
In the end, everyone except for Cliff was in a position that it was difficult to travel.
“what? why everyone… … . I’m living a decent life… … ?”
Liana muttered blankly with her eyes unfocused.
I smiled at Liana like that.
“… … You seem to have forgotten, but isn’t it right for a Royal Class student who receives all-out support from the Empire to live like this?”
“and… … . Hearing you say that makes me feel really dirty… … ?”
Liana muttered blankly.
If you think about it, the kids here are only the honor students among the honor students.
Rather, it’s strange not to do this!
Even if you don’t make much effort, you can play with your super power output going up vertically, but all the kids except you have to put in effort!
“… … .”
Liana looks helplessly at Cliffman.
you?
Come with that feeling.
Cliffman has a natural talent, but he also needs to train. Because he hasn’t awakened to magical power enhancement yet.
However, if Liana was rejected this time too, her heart might be broken.
“That, that… … . me, i… … . I am… … .”
However, if I said it was okay, it would be like asking the two of us to go on a trip, so Cliffman’s face went red and stuttered.
Looking at Cliff, Liana finally lowered her head.
“it’s okay… … . all die… … . I want everyone to live hard… … . Let’s see how well you live… … .”
Liana muttered as if her soul had been drained.
My friends are living so hard that their mentality goes out.
* * *
As the evening drew closer to the Duke of Grantz, Liana’s mentality began to return.
“Hehe.”
It’s because the time to have a drink is coming soon.
Is it okay to like alcohol so much at this age? Whether Duke Grantz joined the revolutionary forces or whatever, didn’t his child farming fail in the first place?
“Ah, lady… … . There are also guests… … .”
“are you okay. get out quickly rest, go and rest Because it’s okay.”
Wouldn’t that mean it’s okay? Judging by the fact that the servants were quickly pushed out and told to rest, the servants also seemed to know what was going to happen here.
I have a lot of money and no worries about the future, so there is no limit like this.
“I-It’s okay… … ?”
“therefore… … .”
Even Harriet and Adelia were fidgeting with anxious expressions on their faces because they knew what Liana was thinking.
Almost all of the people at the Edina Archipelago villa were servants.
But here, Duke Grantz is holding out in the main building, isn’t it rude to have a drinking party with the kids without saying hello?
It’s not because I’m stuck with Confucian ideas. This is really strange! The proof is that everyone except for Ellen has a look on her face saying that this shouldn’t be the case.
One by one, as Liana pushed the servants away, the annex was now empty as Liana had planned.
“Hehe, then let’s start.”
I can’t forgive you sincere people.
The moment Liana tried to open the display case with that expression.
– jumped
“liana! Why don’t you introduce me to your friends!”
“Oh, Dad?!”
A man with a good impression burst open the door of the annex and entered, shouting loudly.
Liana, who had a clearly embarrassed expression, finally lit a double wick in her eyes and shouted out loud.
“Ah! I told you not to come to the annex because you are going to play with your friends!”
uh.
What is this familiar feeling?
“Still, if you brought your friends, you should come and say hello! Do you know how long I waited?”
“Oh, you saw him and him the other day! What else are you trying to see!”
Come to think of it.
During the Miss Temple and Mr. Temple contest, Liana took Cliffman and Ellen to the Duke of Grantz.
Ellen and Cliffman looked down at Duke Grantz and bowed their heads, as if they had met each other back then.
“hello.”
“Go, meet the Duke.”
“Yes, Ellen. oh well it’s still cute Cliffman seems to have gained some more muscle. By the way, are there some faces you haven’t seen before?”
Harriet Adelia and I also stood up and tried to say something, but Liana pushed Duke Grantz hard against the chest.
“This is Reinhardt, this is Adelia, this is Harriet. okay? get out! Get out quickly!”
“Oi, this just cuts Dad. What did I say I was scolding for? talk a little huh? Let’s talk about it, man.”
“Oh, I don’t know. Get out!”
what is it
It’s a different feeling from Heriot and the Archduke of Saint-Ouane.
Still, the Archduke of Saint-Ouan pretends to be solemn. Duke Grantz seems a bit squeamish, doesn’t he?
“Oh, my daughter must be having a lot of trouble because she has a dirty temper, guys.”
“Ah, stop talking weird and get out!”
Duke Grantz seems to be a daughter genius who just enjoys seeing her daughter in trouble rather than being a daughter fool.
No matter how you look at it, the way she giggles while watching Riana’s dislike is excessive.
“get out! Go out go go go go go go!”
“Oops, okay this.”
In the end, Duke Grantz was pushed back by his daughter and forcibly kicked out of the annex.
-bang! Clap! Clap!
“Whoa, really.”
After slamming the door shut, Liana locked it.
“I told you not to come, but what is it really?”
Liana shows off her son-in-law without adding or subtracting.
-Clap!
The door to the outbuilding opened again with the sound of the lock opening.
“Your daughter didn’t know about this?”
A large key ring jingled in his hand.
no.
This daughter-in-law relationship is messed up.
“Will my father not be able to enter if I lock the door in my house?”
Prince Grantz, who came back jingling the large key chain in his hand, giggled and laughed.
“Oh really!”
-Pajijijik!
Lightning flashes began to flicker in Liana’s hair, as if she was genuinely upset.
“Oops, since I was kidding, I’m going to grill my father. He said it was useless to raise her daughter. Eh.”
“Get out!”
“okay! Goes! go!”
– Knock!
Perhaps Duke Grantz really thought that Liana might shoot lightning, so he really left the annex this time.
– Drink up, guys!
It was Duke Grantz who pulled aggro from beyond the door to the end.
After a storm has passed,
“This is why I didn’t say hello!”
Liana stomped her feet in a huff.
Honestly, it only took a few minutes between entering and exiting, but we were overwhelmed by the strong impression of Duke Grantz.
“What can I say… … . You are a wonderful person… … .”
Harriet muttered blankly with her mouth open, and Ellen sipped tea as if she was familiar with how many times she’d seen her.
“He is a good man.”
Everyone was taken aback, as it was the first time Ellen had ever spoken to someone like this. At those words, Liana lit a double wick in her eyes.
“what? What’s good, what’s good about that?”
“hmm. To my standards, you seem to be right for a second son.”
I look at Liana with my arms crossed.
That’s it!
Even if it’s not to heaven, tell your parents that!
“Do you want to go back?”
– Pajik!
“No, no matter who sees it, you’re the son of a bitch.”
At my calm conclusion, everyone nodded slightly as if they would never deny it.
“That little… … . It may seem like too much… … .”
Adelia’s reaction.
“Looking at it like this… … . I think I was a little too much for my father… … .”
Harriet begins self-reflection.
“That, a little… … . yes… … .”
Even Cliffman.
Ellen and Cliffman have seen more of this mess, so they’ve seen more of what Liana does.
“Do you really want to go back?”
“Oh, no… … . That, th, you weren’t wrong… … .”
Cliffman was also surprisingly talkative.
“Gee, really… … . everyone like that… … . I think… … ?”
Characteristics of a younger child) He doesn’t listen to his parents even after he dies, but he listens to his friends.
Even if it was Liana’s words, even if the sky was yellow, even Cliffman, who said you were right for the time being, agreed and Liana lost her senses.
“I, I… … . I’m a bastard… … . is it?”
In the end, Riana showed a reaction like a typical son-in-law who gains enlightenment from what her friends say even if she doesn’t listen to her father.
* * *
In any case, Duke Grantz had blown away the last remaining anxiety in us, even if Liana didn’t know.
Apparently, he said to drink a little.
Drinking at will means drinking in the end.
He must have meant to go play comfortably without needing to notice himself, so although Duke Grantz liked to see his daughter in trouble, he wasn’t being mean for nothing.
Lianna and I drank whiskey and the rest of us drank sweet wine.
There was nothing so great about talking about it. Talking about what the juniors will be like next year was an important topic.
“I wish I didn’t have kids like you.”
Harriet said exactly what Liana said today.
“Are people like me common? This is also innate. It’s called talent.”
“and… … . Do you know that you are special in that field?”
“I am surprisingly someone who has a clear understanding of the subject.”
“It’s not a problem that you can understand, but isn’t it something you have to make up your mind to fix?”
“Isn’t it time to realize that I’m not the kind of person who has become so human? What’s wrong with this?”
“As expected, I get angry when I talk to you… … . And stop being sore!”
“You’re used to it now? Aren’t you sad when you don’t hear me yelling?”
“Aagh! I’m not sad! I’m not sad!”
“I got it, Harriet.”
“… … uh?”
“Are you a little shriveled now? uh? Wasn’t it awkward when I called you by my first name? No matter how you think about it, is it comfortable to listen to Paktong? isn’t it?”
“Aaaaaaaagh! stop it eh eh! Gee, you’re a real bad guy! Why are you doing this to me, really!”
After a long time, I succeeded in opening the lid of Harriet, and I felt great satisfaction.
“Ah, fever rises… … . I’m dizzy… … . It’s because of that child… … .”
“Lie down.”
“Yes… … .”
Harriet screamed loudly, and she lay down on the sofa, saying that she was dizzy and probably drunk.
Harriet lay down and fell asleep involuntarily.
Adelia got drunk and went to sleep, hugging Herriot like a pillow and falling asleep.
“I’m sleepy.”
Ellen sipped her wine, looking like she wasn’t drunk, then lay down on Liana’s thigh.
I’m going to sleep soon after that.
It was only me, Liana, and Cliff that were fully awake.
Cliffman was surprisingly not very drunk.
I wondered if he was drunk, but apparently he wasn’t drinking at all.
Is it because he is afraid of not knowing what he will do if he gets drunk?
“Ah, what did I do so wrong… … .”
Liana seemed to have seriously considered whether she was a bastard or not, and concluded that she was not at fault. She didn’t look drunk, but she seemed moderately intoxicated.
I didn’t drink much. Not for Cliffman reasons.
“hey.”
“It’s not a son of a bitch.”
“No, what did I say?”
As soon as I called, that word came out as an automatic reflex, as if I was about to hit it.
If you think it’s right or not, it’s usually right, and Riana is right.
Of course I’m not talking about that.
Owen de Getmora is a member of the revolutionary faction.
It is absurd to suspect that Duke Grantz might be a revolutionary faction because he came here.
but a possibility.
It’s just a possibility though.
To confirm that, there is a very important question.
“Your father too… … . Did you go to the temple?”
“Temple? of course?”
My heart beats like crazy.
Liana said that and took a sip of whiskey.
“You must have graduated from Orbis Class?”
this.
pestilence.
