The highest payout in the first Margrave Heine horse race was six small silver coins per betting ticket. In other words, it was six times the maximum.

It was the first time and it was a single win, so that’s about it. Still, everyone seemed to enjoy it. As soon as we started, we heard that we were already inundated with inquiries asking when the next horse race would be held.

“It’s more crowded than I thought it would be, Father.”

“Julius, this is a project led by my clan.”

“Is that all?”

“Yes. If we expand the scale, we will be able to attract customers from other territories.”

If you can attract customers from other territories, you will be able to sell the products of the territorial capital. In that case, the tax revenue will also increase, so he must be very grateful as Margrave Heine. If distribution improves, the roads will be improved, which is a good thing.

“In that case, from now on, you, father, should be the center of this business, not me.”

“Are you sure? I’m going to have to steal some of the credit for your work. ……”

“If a seven-year-old was the organizer, other people would laugh at him.”

“Maybe so.”

Even though I said that, my father didn’t seem convinced. You don’t have to worry about taking credit for my work. From my point of view, it’s a big help because I don’t have to do any more unnecessary work.

In this way, I was able to successfully hand over full authority to my father.

After that, the scale gradually increased, and horse racing spread not only to the Spencer Kingdom but also to other countries.

When the new year began, the Margrave Heine family became busy. In the spring, his eldest son, Alex, will enter the academy in the royal capital. At the moment, they were busy preparing for this.

At the academy, everyone lives in dormitories. That means they have to do everything themselves.

“Good morning, Brother Alex. Your tie is a bit crooked.”

“Oh, thank you Julius. It’s not easy getting used to doing it all by myself.”

When he fixed his necktie, Alex-oniisama had his eyebrows curled up. There is still time until the entrance ceremony. He just needs to be able to do it on his own by then.

“I think you better have another look in the mirror before you leave the room.”

“I do, I look in the mirror, but I just can’t help but miss it.”

“Then it’s pointing and calling.”

“Pointing and calling?”

“Yes. You go up to the mirror and say, from the top, ‘Good haircut, good complexion, good tie, good belt, good footwear, be safe!’ ‘ and pointing in the mirror to make sure they are safe.”

“Is it the last safe thing you’re doing? Well, okay, now that Julius has suggested it, let’s give it a go.”

It is important to be conscious and check everything. In order to avoid getting into a rut, it is better to actually move your body instead of just thinking about it in your head.

Perhaps my suggestion worked, because since then, Brother Alex’s clothes have never been out of place.

“A tea party?”

When the snow melted and the cold began to loosen, my mother approached me about a tea party. As the new year approaches, I will also be eight years old. At that age, all the children attend a ‘tea party’ together, which is one step before their social debut.

Personally, I don’t want to go there because I think it’s a waste of time, but I had no choice but to go because I’m the most powerful person in the area. Well, I don’t mind, because I’m with both my brothers, Alex and Cain.

Incidentally, my sister Rosalia is staying at home. She is not yet ready as a five-year-old.

“That’s right. It will be held at the Viscount Riordan’s house next door. It’s very close to our family, and I think it’s the perfect place for you to attend for the first time.”

“I understand. It’ll be my pleasure.”

“I was hoping you would say that.”

After saying that, my mother gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wonder which clothes I’ll wear from now on. For mothers, children are like moving dolls.

I’ll have to play the part of a normal kid at the tea party. I wish Gyre and Christopher could have been there, but neither of them is a noble, so they can’t.

It may be time for me to make friends with nobles.

The day of the tea party arrived. I got into the carriage with my brother Alex and my brother Cain and we headed for the Viscount Riordan’s house. Would this be the last tea party for Alex oniisama?

By the time he graduates from school, Alex-oniisama should be 15 years old. And from the age of fifteen, he is considered an adult and should then be able to attend adult social events.

“You seem nervous, Julius.”

“That’s true. I don’t have any friends other than Gyre and Christopher.”

Hearing that, Brother Alex and Brother Cain are laughing.

“Come to think of it, Julius didn’t have any girl friends either.”

“Yeah, that’s right, but… could it be that you both have them!?”

“Of course. I hope Julius finds a nice girl at this tea party.”

This is the margin as the last son. It’s kind of very frustrating. If this happens, I’ll find a girlfriend and show her off.

I thought so, but the reality was harsh.

The cause was the “Magic Tool of the Stars” for which I sold the blueprint to the magic tools maker. Wherever it leaked from, it was spreading that I was the designer..

It made the girls gather around me. I was completely taken back by their ferociousness, as if they were enjoying the hunt. Women are scary.
