"We did it, Kyle. You finally found your bride."

"So you're Charlotte, the third princess of Briaria. But is it true?　Didn't brother Ars just force you to talk to him?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course not. I was just asking in a very gentlemanly way. I took her on a flight in a brand-new vehicle called a magic airship, and even invited her to Castle Valeant. I treated her as well as I could and then I asked her to marry Kyle. It's clear that you didn't force me to do anything at all."

"Hmmm, is it true?　I'm worried because of what happened before."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You're too trusting. When did I lose that much trust in Kyle? Charlotte said she was crying and happy."

　In the spring of the fourth year of the Garrod's calendar, I brought joyful news back to Vulcania.

　At last I had succeeded in finding a wife for Kyle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a princess from the powerful eastern kingdom of Bryria.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought Kyle, now 16 years old, would be more than happy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But what the hell...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kyle doesn't believe a word I say.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's true, I've used less-than-praiseful methods before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'll admit that I brought Charlotte to Barca with a transporter stone and told her I wouldn't leave until she made a deal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Such a thing to a girl would have been a crime in this world.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I'm sorry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I changed my mind and politely offered her an escort on the magic airship and in the castle of Valliant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm offended that you would say such a thing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Your brother is sad, Kyle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, well. You went back to your own country, didn't you Charlotte?　If I were to take the marriage proposal back to the Bryllian Magical State and make it official, would that take a long time?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I thought so, too, but Charlotte was very enthusiastic. She said she'd convince her father to marry Kyle right away."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What's the rush?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's how aggressive he is about marrying you. So we may have to have a wedding soon. So get ready for it, Kyle."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah, okay."

　Looks like it's going to be another busy year.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I've retired from my position as Prime Minister and General of the Kingdom of Fontana, and I've been made Minister of Finance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Basically, all I have to do is work on domestic affairs, especially money matters.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Although busy in itself, I thought it would be much better than before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I have been quite busy moving around until this spring.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The biggest change of all is that I have passed on my power to my son, Alford.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The rite of succession.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's a ceremony performed by the church for nobles and knights.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The church casts spells on men and women in order to bequeath to future generations the magic and magical pass that belongs to the head of the family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The effect is that those who perform the rite of inheritance have children with each other, and if the children are sons, they have the right to inherit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Any number of children may be born to those who have performed the rite of inheritance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If the head of the family of a noble or knight dies, the child with the right of inheritance of the first rank in the hierarchy inherits magic and magical power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, this did not mean that the power could not be inherited until the death of the head of the family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is possible to inherit the power even during the lifetime of the head of the family, and in that case, the head of the family can decide to whom the power should be handed over from among all the children who have the right of inheritance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I passed my power to my son Alford as soon as this year.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The child born to me and Lilina is actually a twin, and the other, Alphonse, is being raised by my mother, Marie.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Alford was not, but was officially my son and was being raised by Lilina as a candidate for the next head of the Barca family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I gave him a living inheritance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There are several reasons for this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One is that as identical twins, it is impossible to know which of the identical twins is actually the first in line of succession.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If I were to die suddenly for some reason, there is a good chance that Alphonse, who is being raised as a brother and not as my child, would inherit the power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If that happens, there will be confusion over the succession problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, I have been thinking of inheriting the power before my death.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Another reason is that I have become too strong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As the most powerful man in the church, I was clearly outclassed by the others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is no one in the Kingdom of Fontana who can match me in power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The only ones who exceed me in terms of magical power are the king, Garod, and the head of the church, Pope Paul.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But neither of them has any combat experience, and I have the advantage in a real battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Besides, we have different records.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I've done too much.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have resealed the Immortal King, who had been the enemy of mankind for a long time, defeated Naja, the demon king who unsealed the Immortal King and annihilated the Holy City, crossed the Great Snow Mountain, which was said to be impossible for man to cross, reached the East, and created the Heavenly Realm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Frankly speaking, it would be impossible for Garoad to surpass this achievement.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No matter how much power he has, he is still the king of the Kingdom of Fontana.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The most necessary achievement for Garoad is to grow up, get married, and raise a son who will be the heir to the throne.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is now in a position where he should never have adventures.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's fine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But the problem is the surrounding area.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the Kingdom of Fontana, which will continue to grow, the power relations among nobles and knights will probably continue to change.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We do not want the king's faction and Barka's faction to form.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As for me, I want to live a leisurely life, and I don't mind if Barca works hard for Fontana.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, it was necessary to show that in the Kingdom of Fontana, the Fontana family is the master and the Barca family is the servant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's why the succession was made during his lifetime.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If I inherit Alford's power, my power will be separated from the knights and Valkyries under my command.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, I will no longer have the overwhelming strength that I had before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And Alford, the heir to my power, was born in the first year of the Garrod's reign and is only four years old this year.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Garoad, King of Fontana, will be seven years old this year.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Garoad has more magical power and is older than Alford.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And the most important task for both of them is to give birth to and raise a child who will be the heir to the throne.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have no idea how these two boys will grow up, but I will leave the future of my country to them and watch over them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So I have made a prenatal inheritance and reduced my power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, I don't know if it's because I've been constantly training my magic, or if it's because I have a drop-shaped magic stone in my body, but I have just barely enough magic power to be the head of the family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, he is able to move around with a transfer stone, so he is able to perform his duties without much difficulty.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This has maintained the balance of power in the Kingdom of Fontana.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is the scenario .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, this is only a front story.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In reality, the succession was made before his death for a completely different reason.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The timing was just right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This year, I gave up all my magical passes and gained new powers.
