This was right after the civil war was put down.

　There is a man named Oskar Fear Hogan.

　His family is a court nobleman - a baronial family without a fiefdom, and he is the milk brother of the second prince, Jake.

　He's Jake's one arm, you could say.

　And with Julius's downfall, Jake was on the verge of reaching the throne.

　In other words, Oskar, the milk brother, is a person in a very important position.

　Oskar's parents - they had their heads in the sand.

'His Highness Jake has done it!

　Oskar's father, the Viscount, overheard what had happened at the school and shouted.

　Oskar's mother cringed.

''What on earth happened?''

　The viscount ruffled his hair and looked at his wife with a pale face.

''-- At the school, I heard that His Highness Jake had a duel for his girlfriend.

Well, that's a big deal.

　In the past, Julius has been defeated in a similar duel.

　That led to him being stripped of his position as the crown prince.

　From the nobles' point of view, they don't want the royal family to cause a dueling frenzy.

　His wife nodded her head and put her hand to her cheek.

''So, who is your opponent?　Depending on who you're dealing with, His Highness Jake's position could get you in a lot of trouble.

　The idea was that it was up to them to admit it, and if not, they should step aside.

　After all, the Hogan family belonged to a faction that supported Jake.

　The payback would be great if Jake became king, and that's why they've been supporting him until now.

　This is also why they have made Oskar, the heir, Jake's milk brother.

　And the Viscount's wife raised her son, Oskar, and Jake, who was entrusted to her care.

　Because of his compassion, he hopes that he is the right partner for Jake.

　But the viscount looks down.

''-- A man,''

'What?　Honey, I'm sorry. I didn't quite hear you. What?

I'm a man!　His Highness Jake fell in love with a man dressed as a woman!　He may look like a woman, but he's a real man!

　The viscount covers his face with his hands.

　And his wife also covers her face with her hands.

'Why would a man duel a man over a man!

　His wife knew of Jake's childhood and she didn't think he would be romantically attracted to the same s*x.

　The viscount looks up and looks at the ceiling with downcast eyes.

''--It's over. It's over for the Hogan family. If it continues like this, His Highness Jake will be disqualified.

　My wife realized with a huff.

'No, not yet!　Even if you like the same s*x, just have a solid woman for a wife!　It is the duty of the royal family to make an heir, and the man should be shoved into the rear court!

　In other words, get a woman of decent standing for his wife and have her produce an heir.

　Jake's partner, Arle, should be placed in the rear court and have them both make love to each other.

　But of course the Viscount was thinking about such a thing.

''Even I was thinking that much!　But--in a letter from Oskar,

　A letter from Oskar, who is at Jake's side, says, 'They love each other and I support them because they love each other.

　His wife looks at the letter and clutches it.

'That idiot!　That's where we stop!

　He was cute because he was his own son, but Oskar was too straightforward if you looked at him as the head of a noble family.

　And he's not a brainy person.

　He loves to move his body and is more of a - no, he's the perfect brainy type.

　That's why I'm rooting for Jake's infatuation with Arle.

　If Oskar had stopped him, he wouldn't have gotten into this kind of trouble.

　However, Oskar also asked His Highness Jake, "Wouldn't that be a problem for you when you become king? He warned him in passing.

　But in response, Jake said, "I have found my true love. I don't need a throne! He returned the letter.

　Oskar wrote in his letter, "I was touched by your spirit. I will continue to support His Highness Jake in the future," he wrote.

　The viscount falls to his knees.

'Stupid son oh!　That's where you're going to follow up!　Stop cheering and admonish your highness!

　The Viscount muttered emphatically, "Isn't this how you can laugh at His Highness Julius?

　Jake's brother, Julius, was seduced by a woman.

　And Jake was seduced by a man.

　His wife smiled sadly.

'What on earth are my brothers doing together?　If you keep this up, your kingdom is really going to get stuck. I mean, we've just about clogged it up.

　Things have changed rapidly over the past few years.

　The country was really about to be divided, such as the civil war not long ago.

　Just when you thought it was out of that crisis, the next thing you know, the crown prince candidate, Jake, has fallen in love with a man and says he's going to give up his claim to the succession.

　The viscount receives Oskar's letter from his wife and sadly mutters and reads ahead.

'It's over. It's over for the House of Hogan--hmm?

　But as he read on, life gradually returned to the viscount's face.

　He stood up and hugged his wife.

What's wrong with you, my dear?

Rejoice!　Our son is still a do-it-yourself kid, after all!

　My son, who was a bit of a muscle fool and worried, continued.

'P.S. - I am dating Jenna, the eldest daughter of the Baldfart family. In fact, I've been told we're expecting a child.

　My wife sees it and exclaims.

'That's not something to write about in the P.S.!　You need to elaborate on that part!

　The letter says, "We were told it was an all right day," or something to that effect, and they know their son has been tricked.

　But the Viscount is delighted.

'Speaking of House Baldfalt, Lord Lyon is the Duke!　With the Oskar's legend, we can join your faction too!

　But his wife has a worried look on her face.

　After all, the woman who had trapped her son in a trap is coming to marry him.

'So, but will she be okay?　Given the age of your partner, she's just when it was bad, right?

　By "bad times", I mean students from a time when the school's preferential treatment of women was too much.

　If you hear of a girl from those days, you would even be wary.

　The Viscount's wife was from a county family and was a girl who didn't take her exclusive slave around.

　Therefore, he was even more wary of Jenna.

''I can certainly understand your anxiety. But I hear that the duke is lenient with his relatives. If a woman has a problem - no, if there's a problem, she will surely owe it to us.''

　The Viscount is enthusiastic when he takes advantage of that.

　After all, Rion is undoubtedly a hero of the kingdom at present.

　And he has deep connections with the royal family and is someone who will be the core of the country from now on.

　It wasn't a bad deal when you think of having a connection with such a Leon.

　His wife was saddened.

''Oskar--he's really silly. I told you to be careful with the girls in the school all those years ago.''

　The Viscount hugs his wife tightly.

'Be patient. This is for the good of the house. We will support our son and keep House Hogan alive.

Yes, dear.

　Later on, as they had expected - more than they had expected.

　Leon came to apologize, accompanied by his father, Balcus.

　The Viscount posed his gut in his heart.

◇

　Jenna did it.

　She took her sister Finley and Oskar, who was being nice to her, from the side and got her pregnant on top of that.

　This has caused her family a lot of trouble.

　While Jenna seems to be full of happiness, Finley is giving her a cold look.

　Well, anyway--

"-The way you do it is so dirty.

　My father, who went with me to the other party's house to apologize, had his head in his hands.

''Of all things, a court nobleman's baronial family--you're going to feel sick to your stomach when you think about your future association with them.

　The other family is the kind of family that acts as nanny to His Highness.

　It's proof that they are trusted by the royal family and have a strong family background.

　Jenna was going to marry into such a family, and my father was sick to his stomach.

''Even so, the viscount was kind.

'On the contrary, though, that scares me. I don't know how you managed to seduce my son!　I thought you were going to be mad at me.

　Normally we would be in a position to be angry, but Jenna's approach was so bad that she had to apologize.

　I'm glad the Viscount is a good man, but it hurts my heart to feel like I've cheated on the good people.

　My father has a tired look on his face.

''--If this was the case, I should have let him marry her earlier.

　Fortunately, Oskar was happy to hear that he was having a child.

　What's it like to be a student and have a child?　I thought, but they're both aristocrats.

　They don't seem to have a problem with that.

　But here's what I think.

"Why am I here to apologize?

　I felt like I was bowing down for Jenna, and I felt like nothing had changed since I was cleaning up for Marie in my previous life.
