We returned to the city of Fontana for the New Year's celebration.

The trip would normally have taken a long time, but thanks to the transfer magic circle, we can get back to Vulcania in no time at all.

But when I met Charlotte for the first time in a long time, she greeted Kyle not in the language of the East but in our language.

It seems that Clarice, who is also Lilina's servant, was sent to the city of Fontana while she was still there, and she was given strict instructions.

Clarice is quite knowledgeable about etiquette, and Kyle and I have been trained by her before.

Clarice told me that Charlotte's previous experience as a princess had made it take her a while to get used to our style, but she had always had a sense of refinement, so she learned it quickly.

I guess because the day I went to greet the King, Garod, the word came out that the lands were free for all and I left before the day was out.

Shortly after that, Kyle also formed a vassalage that had not been there before and moved south, so the wedding had not yet taken place.

It has to do with the right of succession.

In the case of Briaria, it would have been the duty of kings and nobles to marry a man and a woman of high magical power and to bequeath children of higher magical power to future generations.

A marriage is not considered to be consummated unless a ceremony called the Succession Ceremony is performed by the church at the time of the wedding ceremony.

Then the man and the woman have a child together, and if the child is a boy, he will have the right to inherit the male's magic and magical pass.

When Charlotte heard this story, she started to ask us a lot of questions.

Incidentally, I must say that because of this rite of inheritance, the sense of chastity is low among the nobles and knights in the Kingdom of Fontana and other kingdoms.
