It seems that in every world, there are men who break down with women.

　That was the crown prince in this world.

　Originally, he was supposed to be in love with the hero, a saint. They took their time to gain the approval of the people around them, and then they were to be happily married.

　Some idiot who rushed things along had overlooked something important.

　Because of the protagonist - Olivia, she was the one who tied the knot with the Crown Prince.

　It would be useless for Olivia-san's impostor to do the same thing. That's exactly what I would have done, the result might have been better if I had attacked her as myself.

　Huh, I thought about it for a bit in the world of the maiden game.

'So you want me here to clean up after you?

　So much for escaping reality.

　I'm here at Angelica-san's family home - the Duke of Redgrave's family, using my summer vacation.

　The current head of the family, [Vince Rafa Redgrave], was a dignified man with gray hair all back. He was a tall, well-trained body and a keen-eyed, middle-aged man.

　Standing next to Vince's son, Angelica's brother, [Gilbert Rafa Redgrave], was such a son and Angelica's brother. He has blond hair and blue eyes, but his face looks very much like Vince's. He is in his early 20s.

　His age is in his early twenties.

　Both of them are staring at me.

　I straighten my posture and ask for help.

''I don't have any message for the royal palace myself. This is a situation where I can't do anything about it. As for the funds, I have prepared a white gold coin for you.''

　The pile of white gold coins was the amount of money earned from the school's wagers. The fruits of the aristocrats' stupid children's debts and pocket money were a ridiculous amount of money.

　Me, who piled it up and offered it to them.

　In short, I'm asking you to protect me as I pay for it.

　Shameful?　If money could buy my life, I'd buy it!

　Mr. Gilbert was about to say something, but Mr. Vince controlled him with his hand.

''For an upstart baronet, you've raked it in well. It's true that courtcraft is expensive. He's my daughter's dueling agent. I'll take care of her. But I don't want to be expected to guard this and that. You are not my bastard, and you are not a member of my faction. I made you go along with my daughter's temper tantrums, but in other words, you're the one who stuck your neck out.

　I shouldn't have been involved. That's what you want to say....

　I wanted to pose my gut inwardly.

　I'm still a student and I'm going to make the best use of my status as a student to get things moving in the direction I want them to go from this critical situation. My life starts from here!

Yes, sir. I understand. I just want you to make sure that you don't take responsibility for your own life and your family.

　Mr. Vince crossed his fingers on the desk.

'....Honor has already fallen to the ground. What's next, you're going to give up your position?

　Even though he beat up five people in a duel, he humiliated them to the point of breaking their hearts. It was far from an honorable duel.

''The title and knighthood that was supposed to be given to you will be returned.

　This one, a large sum of money, a title and a knighthood. I'm asking you to settle the case with these things.

　It's a small price to pay, considering that he fought a duel with the Crown Prince.

　And I'll get out of the marriage life as well.

　Mr. Gilbert asked me.

'I have one question. What do you really want?　If he had that much power, he could have gotten through that place and risen to the top. It's also possible that he could have risen to the baronial family in a single generation. I'm wondering what he wanted to do after throwing that away.

　I was frustrated, I wanted to punch my attacker character, and by the way, I wanted to get away from marital hell.

　There are many reasons for this, but I can't say any of them, so I'll say something like that.

'I couldn't leave His Highness to be tricked by a woman like that. For the sake of the country, I guess. I just thought someone should do it.

　Mr. Vince laughed merrily at Kutzutz.

'That's admirable if you mean it. But if you're just playing around, you can't be serious. Thanks to this, the court and the nobility are in a panic. The Redgrave family has also officially ended the engagement between Angier and His Highness. You can't have a daughter. Don't you think so?

　I feel like I'm being tested.

　I'm not trying to make a good impression. I'll be happy if my life is saved and I'm freed from the status of a nobleman - from marital life.

　I'd beat the five of them to a pulp, escape from the hell of married life, and not be a nobleman anymore. Yeah, I'm getting close to the result I want.

''Their relationship is not something I would talk about. Personally, I'd like you to learn more from this at the school. I hope he'll be a great king.

Well I see. On a different note, do me a favor.

What is this?

It's my daughter. I heard she's enduring this incident quite well. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do anything about it. I wanted to send her out to the country for an affordable vacation, but I'm a little busy with my family's problems.

　It's probably the consolidation of the Yosako and the same faction, or rather, the cleanup. They betrayed Angelica-san, so the dukes can't be silent.

　The parents and siblings of the students have been coming to apologize every day, and I hear they are very busy.

　It would be a big problem if the children and siblings who were sent off as cronies betrayed their master's daughter.

　Many people have come to apologize to Angelica, and they want her to rest somewhere out of reach.

'Your parents' house is on good terms, you know. I'll have them take you there on your way home. I'll assign a few caretakers to you.

Oh, uh ... yes!

　Leave your daughter to a man. How's that?　What a thought, but there's no way in hell I'm going to mess with a duchess, and I'm afraid you'll think I've entertained such an idea. This place is a trip, leave it to me!　I'll just do it in a fun way.

"Thank you. Now, step back.

Excuse me.

　As I left the room, I patted my chest in relief. This would be the end of my school life, but I feel great.

　The only regret I have is that I didn't learn tea from my master. He was angry with me for my lack of class during the duel, but he gave me a good cup of tea.

'That's really the only regret I have,'

　The rest of the year I'm worried about Daniel and Raymond. How is the third year senior Lucretia doing?　It's a pity that I haven't conquered all the popular desserts in the student cafeteria.

　.........What, I've been enjoying school life quite a bit, haven't I?

◇

　The Oval Office where Leon had left off.

　Gilbert turned his attention to Vince.

'Father, what do you think?'

　Vince laughed.

'You're right. If you were a smart kid who only cared about yourself, you would have shut up and kept quiet on the spot. In fact, aren't there a lot of kids like that?

　They both look at the pile of white gold coins that Rion has prepared for them.

''........You have prepared quite a large sum of money.

'He admonished His Highness for abandoning his position and honor. That's a noble decision. But he shouldn't have complained about the milk brothers. Originally, that should have been his admonition. However, the academy has always been and always will be full of problems. There are too many children who don't know anything about the world.

　The environment in the academy is a bit special.

　Since it's a place to educate the next generation of nobles, it's supposed to treat everyone equally in principle. Even though that's impossible.

　It's a special environment and doesn't care about the public eye. Sometimes these incidents happen because they are obsessed with the reputation of their inner circle.

　It's a box garden made up of people who don't know anything about the world. Problems do happen.

　This one was a big problem, and it caused a lot of commotion. And when the students return to their parents' house for the summer holidays, they get to see the reality of the situation.

　In fact, Angelica's cronies will also learn what it means to have picked a fight with the dukes.

Well, I'm sure there are plenty of other ways to do it.

Really?　Isn't it hilarious. I think Angier was shallow when he asked for a duel, but coming forward in a situation where everyone is an enemy and won't help... isn't that a beautiful story?　That's what knights are supposed to be. Ostensibly, though.

　Gilbert asks Vince's true intentions.

'What do you intend to do to me?'

　Vince grins.

'I owe you my daughter. I'm going to wipe your ass. Besides, you know. You'd better have a house to fall back on. Do you think the Redgraves will be safe, don't you?　Because this one made it clear to me that some houses can't be relied upon.

　They looked out the window.

　There was a single airship floating there, over seven hundred meters tall. The unseen construction is also interesting, but the lost item found in the dungeon is what strikes a chord with the two of them.

　A world where adventurers are respected.

　Rion's achievements are an aspiration for boys.

I'm a fan of his ability to easily defeat men of noble families. But how far do you plan to go?　Would you have a daughter of our family and of an age?

　Vince puts a hand to his chin.

'That's fine, but it's a bit weak. If they're deaf and blind, they'll want it by the throat. But let's start by cleaning up our mess. We'll be at court. I'll leave the estate to you.

　Vince stands up and decides to get serious about his court maneuvering.

◇

　An airship that replicates the outfitting of Luxion.

　Its name is 【Partner】.

　The airship is managed by robots with hands attached to a cylinder floating in the fluffy air. The machines that had been broken and destroyed when obtaining Luxion were recovered, repaired and made to be controlled.

　The round-armored, legless defense guardians were also at work.

　The wind felt good as I stepped out onto the deck.

　Beside me, a spherical-bodied Luxion floated by me.

'I'm not going to the two of you?'

　The two of them would be Olivia-san and Angelica-san, who came with us on summer vacation - the heartbroken Angelica-san, I guess.

　I've been assigned a couple of handmaidens to look after them, but the only two people I have to deal with are Olivia and Angelica.

'What do you want me to talk about?　I don't want you to expect me to deliver a witty line.

No one is expecting you.

You don't like me?

"I don't hate it, but I don't like it either.

　

''....Huh. The fact of the matter is, I don't know what to say. You're officially out of the engagement. And on top of that, you two failed to talk, right?

　Angelica and His Highness spoke together, but in the end the conversation did not go well.

　Through a duel, His Highness and Marie ended their relationship as lovers.

　They say that love burns better when there is a disability, but he - His Highness will continue to love her even if the relationship is broken, and he wishes her well.

　He said something weird about keeping it pure.

　I'm wondering if it's a clean body. No, I don't care. I don't care. No, I don't think so.

　Oh, wait... he was the crown prince, for Christ's sake. We're in need of an heir, and we need him to find a suitable woman to father children with, otherwise the country is in danger.

"I don't want to get involved in this mess because it's not my place to solve it.

It's really refreshing to see a really bad person.

◇

　Inside the ship.

　Sitting on a bed in what looked like a guest room were Olivia and Angelica.

　Angelica had become even more mellow recently.

　Apparently her discussion with Julius after the duel hadn't gone well.

　Olivia was on summer vacation, so she accompanied Angelica.

''It's a funny story. None of my feelings were understood. It's a very stupid thing to do, because I'm also defeated by the woman who separated me from her. Even as a woman, I'm a complete loser.

　Julius rejected Angelica.

　He was told that he wouldn't stop loving Marie, even if she pulled away from him.

'You're not wrong, Angelica,'

'I suppose. I just got beaten down when I picked a fight with a woman who tried to take my fiancé away from me. It's funny. Would you say you won the fight and lost the game?

　Thanks to Leon, they were able to win the duel, but as a result, Angelica was defeated by Marie.

'It meant nothing in the end. It was just my selfishness that got Rion and you involved.

　Olivia looked down.

'That's not true. I was just talking, and in the end it was Rion-san who did the best. Leon-san, he said. ''I was going to drop out of school from the beginning,''

　Angelica bursts into tears.

'I went to His Highness without even thanking him. I should have thanked him properly right then and there. I'm a bad girl, after all. I didn't think I was that prepared...''

　Olivia was rubbing Angelica's back as she began to cry.

◇

　--I heard their conversation from outside the room.

'It's heartbreaking. I don't know if I have a heart, but don't you think anything of it when you hear this?'

　Luxion's words pierced my heart.

''I'm sorry for the mistake.''

　I certainly didn't want to go on like this, but I didn't really think I could handle it. I just didn't want to be married and I wanted to run away and beat those guys up.

　I don't want them to take it so seriously.

　Is this just the right time for me to go on a rampage?　I just thought.

'What are you going to do now?'

"I'll drop out of school and take care of my dad. If I can be an independent jury on the island I found, I'll be able to live in peace.

...Is it going to work?

'No, you're going. I've picked a fight with the Dauphin. You'll pay him a lot of money and apologise. You're not going to get killed. Huh?　You're not going to kill me, are you?　What am I going to do, I'm getting worried. Should we just run away?

"No, that's not what I meant, sir.

　The world of maidenhood.

　When the slapstick time is over, I feel a little sad.

　But for me, a mobster, this is where it's at a turning point. I've had a very intense time. I'm already full.

　Our schedule was different, but we've worked so hard, it's okay.

　I did my best to be a mobster.

◇

　Summer vacation.

　Marie was told to remain at the school, and then told what was to come when a messenger from the royal palace arrived.

　The messenger was a man who looked like a civil servant and proceeded to speak in a matter-of-fact, clerical manner.

　The content was too much for Marie to be stunned.

''Well, wait. Mi, what do you mean by everyone being abolished?''

　Gathered together are Julius and the other boys that Marie has been dating and attacking.

　The civilian man tells them matter-of-factly.

''It is as you have heard. His Highness Julius has been abolished and he is no longer the Dauphin. His Royal Highness is now the Dauphin. The other four members have also decided to abolish their truancy. His Royal Highness the Dauphin... no, His Royal Highness the Dauphin has also broken off his engagement to the Redgrave family, but I have a letter from a woman to whom the others were also engaged.

　Zilk, Brad, Chris, and Greg - the four of them looked a little sad as they received the letter from their fiancées.

　The letter was a letter informing them that the engagement had been officially broken.

　Marie countered.

'Just because you lost a duel doesn't mean it's too much!　This is just too much!

　Greg says to Marie, as he ruffles her hair. He looked a little embarrassed.

'It's okay, Marie. We were ready for it.'

What?

　Chris tells the truth.

'I've been telling my fiancé for a little while now that I'm in love with someone. My parents and my fiancé have been telling me to reconsider. But they've given up on me after this one.

　Only Marie didn't know it, but other than Julius, he was also trying to put a stop to it.

　The result was abolition.

　He was no longer the heir apparent.

　Julius became a mere prince with no right of succession.

　Zilk, too, became a knight with the guaranteed position of a baron after graduating from the school. But he doesn't have a territory to rule over or even a position at the court.

　The other three were in the same situation.

　All four of them could not expect support from their parents' families.

　The exception was Julius, who was apparently deemed worthy of use because of his royal blood. If you put it that way, he's a prince used for marriage diplomacy. Moreover, he has a bad reputation domestically, with the added bonus that he is rich in foreign countries as a son-in-law.

　Julius is sullen.

I can't stay by Marie's side any longer. But I will always wish you well.'

　Marie was struck with dizziness.

　If there was any misfortune for Marie, it was that the attraction was genuine. Imitation of the hero - imitating the hero - imitating Olivia didn't make them this serious either.

　It was just the outward attraction that made them do so, and the experience of their previous lives that created this situation.

　Greg laughs to reassure them.

'What? I'll protect you from that, too. Besides, you can do whatever you want to do if you want to live. It's good to be an adventurer, isn't it?　Once we find the Lost Item armor, this time we'll get revenge on the shit out of Rion.

　Chris had a small smile on his face.

'Yeah. Maybe it's not so bad.'

　Brad says sarcastically.

'Just four barons in name only. Well, I'm sure the four of them can handle it.'

　Zilk looked a little sad.

'I'm sorry, Your Highness. If I'd been able to stop him, none of this would have happened.'

　Julius gives a small shake of his head.

　He smiled faintly, but looked sad.

'It's okay. As long as you guys protect Marie, I'll feel safe wherever I am.'

　Kyle crossed his hands behind his head.

'You've all had a lot on your minds. Good for you, Master.

　The smile on her face, as if she really thought so, made Marie's eyes go dark.

'Yeah, yeah, right.'

(Huh?)　You gotta be kidding me, you idiot!　How can you guys throw away your positions and possessions like that!　I mean, you guys are all unemployed after all, right?　How are you going to make a living doing that!　Adventurer?　I'm not living for that day, ever!　I'm going to have to find a rich guy to lure him in at this point.

　Switching to realistic thoughts, Marie was donning the men who were laughing at each other.

　The civilian man leaves.

'Well then, if you'll excuse me,'

　Marie felt her imagined future distant as she thought that this civilian man was better off for still having a job.

　It's like having four boyfriends who plan to be unemployed in the future.

　It wasn't exactly the outcome I wanted.

(How could this be!)　(This is not the future I wanted!)

◇

　The floating island I found was in better shape than it was before I entered the school.

　The robots have been working hard day and night, and it's starting to get into a reasonable shape.

　I'm thinking that we'll eventually become independent here, and we'll be able to look high and dry in peace while worrying about our confusing kingdom--''

'Why do you think I'm following you?'

　When I came to see the fields that the robots were tending, Olivia and Angelica even followed me.

　Angelica-san is looking at the neatly lined fields.

It's nice. It's refreshing because we don't get this kind of opportunity very often. All of the baron's territory is in the middle of development, so looking at it would be a distraction.''

　My family is busy developing this place and that today thanks to my investment. There are roads and waterways being built, and a frontier village is also being built.

　The harbor is expanding as well, so things are getting hectic.

　Olivia was looking at the field with a serious look on her face.

　She bent down to look at the soil and surroundings.

''It's amazing. I've never seen such beautiful land without people in it.'

　Angelica nodded her head.

'Really?　I think it's beautiful because there are no people around, don't you?

　Olivia denies it.

'What are you talking about? 'It's impossible for there to be no people in such a well-kept place. Was it a robot?　It's awesome.

　I nodded.

　I don't want to have to explain a lot of things, so I'll just say it's awesome and agree.

　Angelica-san looked up.

'What?　That smells funny.

　He's worried about the smell carried by the wind.

'Oh, this is--'

◇

　An open-air bath prepared on a floating island.

　It was in good shape, and Angelica and Olivia entered the bath while looking at the open view.

　It was a little hot, and it felt a little different from the usual bath. The water was no different, but it felt like it stuck to their skin.

　Olivia was washing Angelica's hair as she let her hair down.

'Angelica-san's hair is beautiful, isn't it?'

''Well His Highness said he likes long beautiful hair. I'm going to make it a little shorter this time. It's a pain in the ass to maintain.

　Olivia uses hot water to clean off the bubbles.

'It's a nice place for that,'

　Angelica admired the view as she admired the floating island that Leon had. They could see the sunset, and it felt luxurious to bathe while looking at the view.

　Olivia must feel the same way.

''I heard she found it before she entered the school and made it her own. In the future, I'll be independent here.......sorry.

I don't mind. I've put him through a lot. I want him to have his own way in here. It pains me that I can only wish for it now.

　We don't know how the story of Leon's independence will turn out either.

　Angelica could only hope that her father would handle it well.

'Then again, there are only a few adventurers who have achieved this level of ideal success. The only adventurers more than this are the adventurers in the story. No, he would have been a man who could have been part of one of those adventure tales if nothing had happened.

　This time it was Angelica washing Olivia's hair.

'Is it really that great?　To me, adventurers are more like dungeon takers.

''That's true. I've heard that the initial investment is harder for commoners, so that's a stronger image. But rather than earning money in dungeons, the nobles prefer to have adventures in airships. They discover new lands and take on unknown dungeons. Sometimes they'll even find lost items from the ruins. I heard that both my father and my brother used to be mischievous and forced themselves to go on adventures, so I think they're buying into Leon at a high price.

　Angelica looked at Olivia's breasts. They were larger than her own, but come to think of it, she remembered that Marie was small.

(Did she hate women with big breasts?)　(No, let's forget it.)

Is it great that you discovered a new island in a small boat, Leon?

　Angelica chuckled.

'Oh, great. One wrong move and you could be called a suicidal man, that's an act. That's one of the best achievements I've seen in decades.'

　The third son of a baronial family has made a great career out of it.

　That's why I say there's a good reason for that.

''Well I'm jealous of you.

What?

　Angelica spilled her true feelings as she washed Olivia's hair.

'She's your lover, isn't she?　We've been together for so long that I knew we'd eventually get married. I wanted to be just like you guys.

　Olivia's expression clouds over.

''Well I'm too different in status to reach.

　Even though she is in the senior class, Olivia is a civilian. As an aristocrat, Rion has to marry a suitable partner when she becomes a wife.

　Angelica reminded her of that.

''I'm sorry. That's right. You were a special case, weren't you?''

　Then Olivia says.

'I ... thought ... Rion-san might like Angelica-san.

Why?

　As the hot water washed away the bubbles, Angelica waited for Olivia's words.

'I went to such lengths to try and protect you. I was jealous of that. It pained me to think about what it would be like when I was there.

"...Me?　That's impossible. I'm a terrible woman. Otherwise His Highness wouldn't have dumped me.

　When they finished washing in silence, they sat in the bathtub and then looked at the view.

◇

　They're taking a bath.

　I'm not gonna miss this.

"Heh, I've been waiting for this moment.

　My eyes start to bleed with excitement.

　The white steam and the nostalgic scent makes my soul tremble. This floating island is my garden. I'm free to do whatever I want, wherever I want to do it.

This is the event I've been waiting for!

　Luxion, who is floating nearby, tells him.

'I'm glad to hear you were successful. The side dish will be grilled fish, if you don't mind.'

Oh, come on!

　On the table is freshly cooked white rice that emits white steam.

　Something that imitates a soup as there is no miso yet.

　Salted grilled river fish.

　I'm sure those two wouldn't understand, but I can't tell you how much I've been looking forward to this moment....

'It brings tears to my eyes.'

'That's good. You can worship me while chewing on your happiness.'

I'm going to forgive you for once. Now, let's eat.

　When I tried it, the taste was similar but slightly different. But it's still white rice. I broke off the grilled fish with chopsticks, removed the meat and put it on the rice and then stirred it in.

Oh, I'm so happy.

'You look happy. Hmm?　'It looks like there's an airship approaching.'

　While eating, Luxion spotted an airship approaching his parents' house.

◇

　Barkas had been in a hurry all morning.

'Ruth, is the food ready?'

Yeah, it's all right in there but are you sure you're going to stay?　It's not that I don't like it or anything. But I don't want a princess to stay at home.

　The reason for this is that Leon has returned home.

　Rion's father, Balcus, wanted to hold his head up.

''That idiot, just when you think you've picked a fight with His Highness, now you're bringing the duchess here, what do you mean? You need to work on my heart more. If I die of shock, it's his fault!

　He had not expected a duke's daughter to come to a frontier baronet's house, so he had been making preparations in a great hurry all morning.

　Leon returned by airship early in the morning.

　From there, he has been making preparations in a hurry.

　The duke's maid of honor appears in the kitchen.

''Excuse me. I have prepared the room I borrowed, and I came to help you here.

　The clothes the maidservants wore were chic maids' clothes.

　Educated and, by all accounts, senior maids - simply put, the daughters of high status families who were serving the duke's family.

　The daughters of jury nobles. However, there are some families that have fiefdoms larger than a lowly baronial family, even if they are jury vassals.

　From Barkas' point of view, this was an opponent that could not be ignored.

''No, we're fine here, so if you'd like to get some rest. I'll have a room ready for you immediately--''

You know, they finished it earlier.

　Barcus is busy in the morning.

　Then disaster strikes again.

　A high-pitched voice shouting at him can be heard even in the kitchen.

'Hey, you're a servant and you can't listen to my orders!

　Barkas covered his face with his hands.

　He apologized to the maid in the kitchen and hurried to the doorway, where he found Zola. Rutoart and Merse were also here, and Zola and Merse's resident slaves were also waiting.

(Why are there so many guests like this just today!)

　Barkas saw Zola crowding the duke's maid. He suppressed the desire to scream and stepped in front of the maid.

'It's been a while, Zola!　What the hell is wrong with you today?

　Zola slapped Balcus on the cheek with the fan she was holding.

'What's the matter with you!　Have they not told you what the hell your good-for-nothing son did?　King's Landing is in an uproar. I wonder how they will take responsibility for this?

　His eldest son, Luttoart, was fiddling with his long hair and wasn't interested. Merce wasn't interested in Barkas either.

''No, no, that's...''

　Barcus didn't know where to start.

　The daily life has been changing really fast these days and it's hard to keep up with a lot of things.

　As an escape from reality, I was thinking, "I hope Nix graduates soon and helps me with my work~".

　Then the maids gather at the door and line up to greet their master.

'Welcome home, miss.'

　Zola and the others turned to see Angelica with her hair down.

　Leon is hiding behind them.

(You need to step forward more!)

　Balcus wants to give his son the benefit of the doubt, but he's not in a position to say anything, so he keeps quiet.

'It's noisy. What's going on?

　Zola's brow wrinkled as she looked at Angelica, her eyes narrowing.

'I wonder where on earth she is from. Besides, I'm not the biggest idiot in there. 'Come out, don't hide, come out.'

　Reluctantly trying to move forward, Angelica controlled Leon with her hand.

　Her eyes grew steely as she made fun of Rion.

'Who the hell are you?　Why don't you go ahead and say your name?

　Zola's mouth quivered at the edges.

'Wait, Zola. We'll talk about it anyway. Come on, everyone inside. Let's go. Come on!

　Forcing them all into the mansion by forcing them all to break up the conversation, Barkas cried, thinking in his mind that he would never forget this day for the rest of his life.

◇

Well, well, it was. I did not expect the young lady of the Duke of Redgrave's house to be in the country so soon.

　If you look at Zola's face, whose flip-flops were tremendous, she was impatient and broke out in a cold sweat.

　Inwardly stupid, etc., I was listening to Angelica-san and Zola's conversation.

　They were sitting across from each other.

'We'll take care of you. But it's strange to think that Mrs. Angelica is always away from the mansion. It is hard for me to understand why a legitimate son does not help with his work. What is your son, Lord Rutoart, your legitimate son, doing now?　You don't look like a military man, and in a civilian position?

　The Luthier's guy is not here.

　Zola looked down.

''Yes, I have him studying for his future in the royal capital now.

I see.

　Rutoart is nineteen. Merse is twenty years old.

　Both of them are unmarried and live in the mansion of the Baldfalt family in the royal capital. The Baldfalt family or rather Zola's house. Although the money is wasted, it seems that it is still low in rank in the royal capital.

　It's good to see Zola in trouble, but my dad has been appealing to me to do something about it with his gaze since a while ago.

''Well, more importantly, what can I do for you this time?''

　It's rare to see Zola in a bad way.

　Angelica gave a small smile.

'It's just sightseeing. Today we visited the newly discovered floating island. It's a nice place with a hot spring.'

　Zola is pleased.

'I hope you're pleased,'

Yeah, I'm going to be looking after you for a while.

　Zola froze as she heard this.

'How long do you plan to be here, sir?

I don't have any plans. I have no plans. Don't worry, I'll pay for your stay at the Baron's, who will take care of you. To the baron, of course.

　Hearing that, Zola said something like "please take your time"... but the next day he returned to the royal capital with his own children.

　To be honest, I was so happy to see Zola running back. I clapped for Angelica and she gave me a complicated look. I cried when she said, "You've been through a lot too, haven't you?" but I couldn't understand why my dad and mom were looking at me so coldly.
