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

"Yes."

　Despite the two ceremonies in the morning, there was another big event in the afternoon.

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

　It was a wedding.

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

　The couple was to be married by Garoad, the leader of the United Kingdom of Fontana, and my sister, Ellie.

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

　Garod is 9 years old while Ellie is 11 this year.

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

　Although their wedding is at a very young age, it is surprisingly not unusual for women to get married at this age, especially among the nobility.

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

　Well, I got married at the age of 10, so I guess that's about the same.

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

　This wedding was suddenly decided after it was announced that I would be the king.

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

　Because, since they offered me various conditions for my special throne, we also offered conditions for ours.

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

　Especially if Vulcania was to be inherited by the Fontana family after my death, my personal feeling was that I wanted to give it to someone who was related to me by blood.

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

　This is why they rushed the marriage of Garod and Ellie.

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

　Once the succession ceremony had been performed, Elly could give birth to her heir, who would then become the next king of Fontana.

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

　This condition was accepted without much resistance.

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

　It was also beneficial to the others.

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

　I would be an independent king of the sky.

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

　I became king with the intention of keeping the Fontana Confederacy separate from the national government, but that does not mean that it is safe to let it go unchecked.

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

　Therefore, the United Kingdom of Fontana wanted to have an insurance policy.

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

　If this marriage takes place, my blood sister Ellie and I will live in the city of Fontana for the rest of our lives.

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

　In other words, my sister Ellie and my son Alford will stay in the city of Fontana.

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

　The idea is that having my blood relatives on the ground instead of in the sky will give them some checks and balances against me.

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

　If I do something wrong, the queen's life may be in danger.

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

　Or, I can claim that I should work for the United Kingdom of Fontana in case something happens to the queen.

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

　In a word, the other side of this marriage was that it had a hostage-like meaning.

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

　The marriage was hastened by the interests of myself and others.

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

　But they do not seem to care about that.

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

　Garod, for example, seemed nervous during the whole wedding ceremony.

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

　He did not look as imposing as when he brought the crown to me, but so nervous that his ipsilateral arms and legs were in front of each other.

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

　These two young men used to live together in the castle of Barca and were childhood friends.

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

　They must have been told that they would be married in the future.

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

　She seemed to be very young and not at all obliged to get married.

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

　Ellie is a little older than him, and although she is acting like a big sister, I got the impression that they would get along well with each other.

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

　Maybe they will be fine.

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

　Me watching their wedding with a crown on my head.

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