226 Chapter 16-4 Report

"Um... Duke of Sanga?

"It stinks of water, Mr. Tenma! You can call me your stepfather!

The Duke of Sanga, who is under heightened tension, was unable to have a proper conversation with me or Primera no matter what she said because of his floating.

"Be quiet, Duke of Sanga"

"... I'm sorry, Grand Duke. I floated a little bit."

Worried about how to quell it, Ernesto stopped the Duke of Sanga with a voice that wasn't loud but resonated with his body... it was a rare sight that Ernesto could recognize as being the greatest near the top of the kingdom.

"Duke, it doesn't mean we're still engaged, so calm down a bit"

"" Huh?

With that said, the Duke of Sanga and Primera looked surprised, but never mind standing in front of Primera, offering her hand,

"Primera, would you mind making out with me on the assumption that you'd marry me?

I made my first confession in my life. Exactly, it's odd to proceed with the engagement while being driven by the momentum of the Duke of Sanga, and most importantly, you haven't heard how Primera feels. I don't think you hate me... but it can be that I haven't seen you as a married person. Besides, it's the first time in my previous life that I've ever been involved in a marriage like this, so I wanted to take proper steps. I've seen several sad footage of being turned down at this time in previous life happening footage, so you'd better think the engagement would be the first to hear about Primera's neighborhood.

"Yes, thank you"

Well, based on what happened earlier, I didn't think I would ever be turned down... but if I did, I was confident that I would be pulled into a cage.

"I have the consent of both parties and the permission of both parents, so I said no problem getting engaged... but Maria insists if we go any further, so we should talk about this later before Maria."

Surely Ernesto is right, and if Maria finds out that my engagement story was going on where she doesn't know it, she could keep saying she hates Netineti every time she sees him in the future.

"Primera, we're going to Royal Castle in a minute. The Duke of Sanga asks you to report with him. And then Grandpa and Ernesto."

"" Follow me! Well... "

I only had my best friend on the boulder and the two breaths were perfect.

"That's why I'm coming out a little bit. Leave a message, please."

I asked Jeanne and the others to leave a message and decided to hurry to the royal castle. By the way, we were to travel to the royal castle in our respective carriages. At that time, Primera was going to board my carriage, and for some reason Albert was moving to the owner of my carriage. Asking Albert why he would do your thing, he returned, "Because Father is too floating and disgusting," and Primera was about to be ashamed.

Amur SIDE

"As planned"

"What's the plan?

I'm glad it's going my way, and my heart's voice leaked when I stuck around. Plus, it was too floating, and I didn't even realize Jeanne was right next to me. Well, fine.

"To be clear, the first step in my plan to be tied to Tenma... could be the second or third step"

I didn't think in detail, so I don't know what stage this is.

"Well, no. Anyway, Primera needs to be in her rightful wife's seat to be tied to Tenma"

"Why?"

Bad guess... no, that's just not going to tell you... well, Jeanne needs it for the plan, so let me tell you more.

"As things stand, it may not be possible for me or Jeanne to marry Tenma...... but it's pretty hard. Because me and Jeanne are too close to Tenma"

I don't think it means Tenma doesn't see me as a woman, but there's an emotion of family ahead of it, and it's stronger than romantic emotion. That would be the same for Jeanne, unlikely to get married.

"I may have something in mind..."

"That's where we're going to need Primera. Moderately distant from the Tenma, the person the Tenma recognizes as a woman, and above all treats...... kind!

"I think I just heard some very rude words?

"It's my fault."

Jeanne doesn't seem to believe it much, but I want it flushed because her mouth just slipped there.

"So it's Primera's role, but the liberation of Tenma's libido...... and making me change my view from 'family' to 'woman'. If my perception changes while I'm in touch with Primera, I have a chance too!... should. If it was still difficult, appeal to Primera's emotions"

Fortunately, Tenma's perception of women is due to Rich in Kukri Village? So, it's mostly softening, Grandpa said. Besides, if I were forced to target Tenma's rightful wife's seat, there might be some obstruction from the Duke and Queen of Sanga. Well, I don't have to be a real wife, so I'd rather have those two on my side... neutral if I can't do that. If you were a sideroom or concubine below your rightful wife, you wouldn't be complaining. For once, I am to say that the Lady of the Viscount of Arc... That's what comes down there, so Primera's public rating should only go up and not down. That should be the same for the House of the Duke of Sanga.

When I told Jeanne about it,

"Amur... you've been able to think and act so much"

And so on, they said something very rude.

"Jeanne, excuse me! If this works, Jeanne can also be a pattern between Tenma and men and women!

With that said, Jeanne was panicking with a bright red face.

Amur SIDE.

"Alex, can you get Maria and the others? I have a little report."

We arrived at the royal castle and headed straight for the king's working room, but there was no Maria along the way or in the king's working room.

"Uncle, what happened?

The king was trying to figure out what the report was as he looked at us, but Master Ernest was a little "talk when Maria arrived".

"Cliff, get me Maria right away!

When the king screamed into the hallway, he replied, "I have already made Eina turn". Me and my grandfather were not surprised because Mr. Cliff had taken my back so many times, but Primera to the Duke of Sanga and Albert was suddenly turning around surprised by the voices he had heard from behind. I'm not turning around, so I can only imagine, but maybe now Mr. Cliff is going to have a successful, satisfied look at the mischief.

"You, tell Eina that you have something to report... oh?

Moving to the table and talking about it without a scratch, Maria and Aina arrived after a while. Maria looked surprised when she came into the room, not knowing that I or Primera was there. And then he was staring at Aina, but Aina seemed to be a convict and where the wind was blowing and so on.

"So, the fact that not only Tenma and Master Merlin, but also the Dukes of Sanga are together... at last, you've made up your mind to consolidate Tenma too! It's not... is it? It's a temper."

And so on, Maria tried to sit next to the king...

"This time, I came to report that I was carrying an engagement to Primera who is here."

"Heh? Aah!

"Whoo! Phew!

A surprised Maria missed sitting in her chair and managed to avoid sprinkling it in the form of thrusting the king. Instead, the king rolled on the floor, chair-by-chair.

When I saw how surprised Maria was, I got the heaven to look back and look behind me now...... so I looked back and there was Cliff and Aina who looked more surprised than I had ever seen before.

"That, that, that... ho ho! Is that a true story?

When me and Primera nodded at the same time, Maria sat in the chair as if she had lost her strength from her body. Having seen it and restarted it, Mr. Cliff began preparing his tea, and Aina... ran away somewhere.

"The plush, hips, hips..."

Because no one cared about the king, the king crawled up on his own and sat in a chair.

"So, Tenma. Why are we talking about an engagement? Yeah, I'll tell you what, I'm not even willing to disagree with this, so you don't have to be so hard. Just curious."

The first half of Master Maria's words were addressed to me, but the second half to Primera. I saw the primera nervous in the middle of the word, but it still didn't seem to have much effect.

"No, well, there was some recent flattery, and I originally preferred the Primera thing, so I thought it was a good opportunity to confess. Well, I was relieved when they accepted my engagement because they could have turned me down."

Talking with a bit of a mix of laughter, it seemed gradually that Primera's tension had also been lifted, so that she could answer Maria's queries as well.

"So, I get engaged, but when are you getting married? You know, this isn't a good idea, but there's something about Primera's age, right?

Primera's age is ni xiv this year, so her marriage as a nobleman is as slow as it gets. Well, Albert and Eliza aren't married yet at twenty-six, so not to say there's no precedent at all.

"I have a favor to ask the Duke of Sanga and Primera about that, but the marriage is after next year, and I want Primera to get out of the aristocracy when we get married"

"What does that mean? I know you say you want to have a period of time until marriage, and Primera originally said that you would get out of aristocracy in the future, but when you get married, I think it would be more convenient for you to have an aristocracy?

To the question of the Duke of Sanga, Primera also seemed strange to the King, Maria and Albert,

"The first thing I would say is that the marriage will be after next year, because Primera just got a new job at the Duke of Sanga's, so now would be an obstacle to her mandate, and I want her to leave the aristocracy when she marries, because I don't want to give that child the right to inherit the Duke's house when she has a child in the future"

"Hmm, Tenma, I know you're thinking about the Duke's house, and I'm convinced about the time of marriage, but I can't say I don't want to give my children inheritance. Even if Primera leaves the aristocracy, she will be given more inheritance than the blood of the Duke's house is shed on her children"

"Still, the possibility of inheritance drops a lot, doesn't it? Sure, the two sisters upstairs say they each have multiple boys, but before the Duke's right to inherit, there's a paternal right to inherit his parents' house, right? By contrast, the Ootri family does not have a right of inheritance because they are not aristocrats. Worst of all, there's no problem with an adopted son with no blood connection succeeding him. If anything happens to Albert or Albert's children, it could be considered a leading successor candidate."

Some ministers in the Duke of Sanga might think about taking in the power of the Ootri family, and some rival nobles might think about pushing my children into the candidates to disrupt or divide the Duke of Sanga family. But if Primera leaves the aristocracy, whatever the blood, the family will be called civilians.

"If you are a child of aristocracy and inheritance and a child of civilian and inheritance, you can argue that the former deserves a successor, right?

I want to keep my children away from the bloody world whenever I can.

"That's... you can't say there isn't. Besides, I can't even say I can't. Primera, Tenma, you say that, but what do you want to do?

"Me too, I think Mr. Tenma is right. In the first place, I wanted to escape aristocracy because it also had the purpose of relinquishing my right to inheritance."

Depending on what you think, you can also take it that you remain connected to the Duke's house, but you are not responsible, so I think you are saying something quite convenient...

"If you think you can relate to the strongest warrior in the kingdom, it's a cheap one. On the contrary, we can also say that the Duke's house is quite unlikely to be taken over... and you have no problems. Even if something comes up from below, it's going to be easy to shut it up."

I thought the Duke of Sanga would say that. In the case of the Duke, I guess Primera's happiness is more important than the takeover of the Duke's house by me. Well, the management of the Duke's house seems like a pain in the ass, so I wouldn't do it if I was asked to... I suppose that's what I'm assuming.

"If the Duke is okay with that, it's not for the royal family to talk."

"Right. Tenma, Primera, Happy Engagement"

The King and Maria also blessed the party, me, Primera and the Duke of Sanga, without inserting their mouths because they were convinced.

"So now that Tenma is here, shall we finally talk about next year's tournament? Tenma, do you have any good ideas? Ow!"

The moment the king suddenly started talking about his work and threw more round at me, the king made an odd noise and fell off his chair. I suppose Maria, who was sitting next to me, even stepped on it because she was holding back the back of her leg at the tip of the roll.

"That's it, but I think I'll just make it a personal battle, for some reason, because I'm holding back marriage. Honestly, it's hard to get it all out."

"For next year only, the method will work... but not next time, okay?

"We'll think about it again next year and beyond. Maybe you'll change your mind and want to get out of it all."

That means I might get out next year if I feel like it, but I'll remember somehow until next year or so. Maybe.

"Well, this one also thinks of some idea by next year, and you can't mean you won't let adventurers compete in the first place. You don't have to."

And, the king says, I guess it's also a problem that I'm not the only one winning too much. Excavation of talent and wagering income? Incidentally, dividends are calculated from the amount that I deducted 20% from the sales, so whether I win or lose, the amount that goes into the country is no different, but because more people won't buy it if I win (which can be negative in some cases), the overall sales are down.

"Isn't it me who can't, Master Zain, who needs to figure out a new way to sell?

When I heard that, the king gently took his gaze off me.

"I mean, you seem to have forgotten, but even if the temper falls out, 'Oracion' joins the team."

I guess that means I have all the numbers even if I fall out...

"Your lord seems to have forgotten, but the fact that Tenma doesn't show up doesn't mean the slurrins can't show up."

"... ah!

My grandfather seems to have completely forgotten, but the slurrins are my family, so they can't join the team without me being Tamer. As can be seen from the fact that the Marquis of Sammons had previously teamed up with Gallibar and the Knights and himself had turned modestly, if Tamer was on the same team, even if Tamer was turned modestly, his family could go to the game, but if Tamer was not on the team, his family could not enroll as a team, rather than participate in the game. This means that when I pull out, Grandpa and Amur are the only remaining members of the 'Oracion' that competed this year. Well, I can't or can't form an 'oration' with me out next year, but in that case, instead of me and the slurrins, I'm gonna have to put Jeanne, Aura and Aina in. It should be noted that Aina still leaves her books in the form of mentors for Jeanne and Aura.

"Damn... thoughtless..."

He was a grandfather who seemed sorry, but he said, "Then I'll pair him up with Amur and compete in a pair!" or so he said immediately. For this minute, I might even compete in a personal battle.

"When you do, Tenma, after announcing your engagement with Primera, you might want to let it flow as a rumor-level story that you may not appear outside of a personal battle with insignificant 'due to marital support, preparation, etc.'. If you don't make a full appearance, you may be questioned by the royal family to say that some pressure has been exerted, and I assure you, Tenma, there may be a rebellion when you change your mind."

"Um, it would be easy to proceed in the way the Duke says. Tenma, too, will have someone approaching to take the back of something, but you don't have to deal with it. It's only a 'rumor' level story."

If someone I don't know comes to hear it, I don't deal with it, and if someone I know comes to hear it, you can just say, "I'm sure I'll be busy, but I haven't decided what to do yet". If you leak it to the jinns at first, it will be known naturally and widely. Well, it will be after we officially announce our engagement to circulate the information, so it is to be decided when... the gins are surprisingly wide faced, so I'm sure they will do a satisfying job.

We then discussed the timing of the engagement announcement, which meant that it would be announced at a party hosted by the Duke of Sanga after the year had dawned, after the Jin's noise had subsided. Maria wanted to make an announcement at a royally-sponsored party, but she couldn't do it without the Duke of Sanga, and she was convinced that me and Primera would be at the party after the Duke announced it.

"Grandpa, what do you think we should tell Uncle Mark?

"I think it's better to be fast... because there's a lot of confusion involved, and it's not a good idea to tell me before the Duke's announcement and spread it on some applause. I'm sorry, but let's have patience until we're older. Well, you'll notice it thin, but if you don't make it clear, you'll be fine."

It breaks my heart to keep my uncles quiet, but if anything happens, I want to avoid my uncles being blamed, so I'll tell you why and apologize after I make the announcement.

When we got to a paragraph about me and Primera, the Duke of Sanga started talking about the Gins' reward, so we decided to leave the Duke of Sanga to go home.

"When we get home, we have to stop the Amurs."

"Right...... hmm? It's like Din and Aina."

Aina ran away from the room apparently to get Mr. Din.

"Tenma, Eina told me you were engaged to Miss Primera, is that true?

Returning it to the truth, Mr. Din gave me and Primera words of blessing, but then when he said it was something that he still couldn't publish, he stumbled upon Aina. Hi, Aina said she jumped in haste where Mr. Din was working out and suddenly pulled Mr. Din away. He said there were other knights on the spot, but I heard the reason where no one was, so he said the engagement story would not have been leaked. However, he said it was troublesome considering when he asked why he was in a hurry because it was unusual for Aina to panic so much.

"In the meantime, let's go to Your Majesty."

"Dear Tenma, Primera, I'm sorry to show you the ugly part"

Eina joined Mr. Dinn and settled down, seemingly the same as usual. Well, there was a difference that my face was red... so when I teased him, I was afraid of later, so I decided to leave him in silence.

"Still, are you glad I didn't send you to the Duke's mansion?

"Father will come back to Tenma's mansion once, and most importantly, Primera will have to talk to the Amurs."

"No, well... you're right..."

Primera says nervously... well, it won't be a bad thing.

I was thinking lightly like...

"Tenma! Is it true you're engaged to Primera!

"Hey! Lion, he said he had a loud voice!

The other two of the three idiots were making a scene. Because of this, the Jins seem to have found out, and they struggle to stop. It should be noted that in all that noise, Mr. Chris did not wake up.
