I leave the Master and hurry to the royal capital on my beloved horse.

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

There is so much to do, I just have to hurry. ...... Time is running out fast.

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

First of all, I must start by persuading my father.

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

Sir,...... well, I feel embarrassed when I say it out loud.

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

I went all the way to Lucas in the hope of making a good match, and I must say that I have made a better match than I had expected.

Some of the nobles, even if they do not have such good skills, will offer me a marriage proposal on the basis of my family background.

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

Thank God I don't have to listen to that kind of talk anymore.

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

I still don't know what his skills are, but I'm sure that if he bears a child, it will be a child who will be gifted with good skills.

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

I will be able to fulfill my royal duties and have a good husband.

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

I am sure your father will be satisfied if I bring home this wonderful result.

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

But if you tell him about the marriage, of course he will talk about your husband's skills.

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

We have to be able to cover it up by bringing up the clan.

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

I am sure it will work because we have the trump card, the Orc King, but I am worried in another way that father will ask us to fight against the Master.

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

Well, ...... in that sense, I am also very worried about my brother.

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

Like father, I really wish he would do something about his bad habit of wanting to test his skills when he sees a strong man.

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

It's not natural for royalty to try to fight without consideration.

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

Besides, ...... you're a bit of a cis-con. .......

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

I don't know how he'll react if I tell him I'm getting married.

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

I'll have to play around with that too.

"Welcome home, Princess."

The Prime Minister, Morgue, has just arrived at the castle, but he quickly finds me and calls out to me.

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

I was hoping to take a break for a while. ....... You can never be too careful or too careful.

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

"Yeah, I just got home. Where is your father now?"

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

I wanted to see your father right away, but he said that some trouble had occurred and that he was in a cabinet meeting.

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

I heard that my brother is also participating in the meeting, so it might be a very important matter.

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

Although he is the second in line of succession to the throne, he is not interested in the throne at all and has established a major clan: Alchemist Library by himself.

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

The fact that his brother is participating in the conference probably indicates that he is participating as a representative of the clan rather than as a prince.

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

"...... hmm, sounds important."

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

"Yes, Your Highness, I think it would be best if you joined us."

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

The morgue must have been planning to include me in the meeting from the moment he saw my face, because he said so casually and took me to the room where the meeting was being held.

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

Well, if there's something important going on, I don't see why not.

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

I have no problem participating, but I have a strange feeling that the morgue guy has played me.

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

While I'm thinking about this, we arrive at the conference room.

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

"Sylphid has returned. I heard it was important and came to see you.

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

When I opened the door and entered the room, all eyes were on me at once.

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

"Sylphide. You've come to the right place, I want to hear your opinion, sit down there.

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

The king's father, Farren Augusta, asks us to be seated.

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

As soon as we were seated, my father gave us an overview of what was going to be a rather complicated matter.

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

It was said that demons had begun to invade the Duchy of Ose, located in the northern part of the country.

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

Currently, some of the knights are on their way to Ose to confirm the authenticity of the information.

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

They have also sent a request to the Adventurers' Guild, and depending on the information they bring back, it may be quite troublesome.

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

When it comes to an invasion of another country, of course, there will always be an individual who organizes and directs a large number of demons.

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

Yes, there must be an individual like the Orc King, whose memory is still fresh in our minds.

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

Disaster class like the Orc King is not something that can be found anywhere in the world, but is usually found only in the vicinity of the demon kingdom, which is the home country of the demon tribe.

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

In other words, if an invasion of another country takes place and the invasion force includes a disaster class, there is a possibility that the Demon Kingdom is serious.

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

Since the king of the Demon Kingdom, called the Demon King, was replaced about 10 years ago, the Demon Kingdom has been quiet in comparison.

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

However, if they are involved in this Ouse case, it may be a prelude to a serious invasion by the Demon Nation as they used to do in the past.

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

Since the Ose Principality in question is located closest to the Demon Nation, which has the Demon Tribe as a follower, they were discussing countermeasures against them.

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

"I see......... is certainly important."

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

The meeting continued for several hours, but in the end, it was decided that the Knights or the adventurers would have to bring back the information to the meeting for it to be concluded, and the meeting was dismissed.

As I watched the participating ministers return to their respective departments, I waited for the right moment to tell my father about what had happened in Lucas.

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

"Father, brother, Luis......, I have something confidential to discuss with you.

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

When I said this with a serious expression on my face, my father was able to suggest that we move to his office to talk.

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

"So, Sylphy, what do you want to talk about?"

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

The air in the room is a little more relaxed when my father calls me by my nickname, with the ease of family.

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

But what I am about to tell you is connected to the flooding that was discussed earlier, and it is also connected to my future.

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

Let's talk about it with spirit.

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

"Without preamble, let me tell you a story.

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

　I have chosen a companion for you, the boy who defeated the orc in Lucas."

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

"...... Well, he was a strong man in your eyes, what were his skills after all?"

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

Here it comes! As expected, or rather by default, ...... is exactly the question I expected to be asked.

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

"We didn't find out his skills after all. This is somewhat related to the flooding we were talking about earlier, but first take a look at this.

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

With these words, he took out of the storage bag the corpse of the Oak King that the Master had given him.

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

The sound of a thud echoes, and the vicious figure of the Oak King appears on the floor.

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

"What? This, this is ......."

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

Father's expression quickly changes to one of astonishment.

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

My brother and Luis are equally astonished, their eyes widening wide.

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

I suppose that's true, they never dreamed that they would see the corpse of a disaster class in the office.

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

"An oak king, is that it?

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

It was your father who was the first to regain his composure.

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

The two brothers will be restless for some time yet, I understand.

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

"That's right, the remains of the Oak King.

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

　We found a settlement deep in the woods behind the town of Lucas that we believe was led by this man.

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

　The boy defeated it single-handedly in the settlement, and proposed that the royal family purchase it and give it to him.

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

　Furthermore, his entourage ......, in other words, three orc generals, are also in this bag.

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

"Nonsense! Defeat the Orc King single-handedly? It's impossible!"

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

My brother denies my words out loud.

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

"It must be hard to believe, I must see it in front of my eyes to believe it myself.

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

"...... Well, if he has that much power, no wonder he wants you as his mate.

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

　But don't you think we need to know more about the boy's skills?

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

This is the moment of truth.

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

"That's a fair point," he said, "but he couldn't say anything about skills.

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

　I could have forced him to say so, using the prestige of the royal family, but I decided that would have been a fool's errand.

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

　Think about it, regardless of the outcome, his power is more powerful than the army of a single country, right?

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

　What if you force him to do something he doesn't want to do and he leaves for another country? And it would be better if he left.

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

　What if he becomes our "enemy"? Would you fight someone who could defeat the disaster class? I don't want to."

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

"...... I see, you certainly have a point."

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

"...... and I liked him myself.

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

　He is gentle and very soft-spoken.

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

　I think he is the best partner for me as a companion.

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

　I am willing to support him without calculation.

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

Hearing my words, Father quietly closes his eyes.

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

Silence reigns for a moment.

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

"Very well, I accept your hand in marriage.

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

　When you have made your acquaintance with the boy and have heard the details of his skills, you will report back to me.

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

"No, father,...... if he does not want to do it as long as he is married, I am not willing to do it."

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

I made a promise to your husband.

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

I would never tell him about my skills.

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

I had to reason with my father, but it was a fact and I had no choice.

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

"Well, I guess we should do our best to have a relationship with him. ......

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

Father said and closed his eyes again.

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

"I will not allow it! I can't take your pretty sister as my wife!"

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

...... you sissy, read the air!
