"I'm sorry, mister, Aisha ...... it's my fault."

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

In the living room, while we were relaxing over a cup of tea Aisha had brewed for us, Sylphy bowed her head to us.

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

"I told you before, it's not Sylphie's fault, right?

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

"Yes, Your Highness,...... it is Sir Claude who is to blame."

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

Aisha and I deny Sylphy's words almost at the same time.

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

Of course, there is no doubt that he came here for Sylphy.

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

But the fact that he spoke out of turn is a matter of his own quality, not something Sylphy has to be responsible for.

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

"......, but it would not have happened without me."

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

He seems to care a lot.

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

"So, Sylphy is quitting to marry me because of that idiot Claude?"

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

"Of course not!"

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

"...... then, don't worry about it."

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

The conversation moves along fluidly, and Sylphy's words stop with one word I say.

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

This is exactly what I had in mind, and I think that she will be reluctant to accept it .......

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

He was still pondering for a while, but little by little he returned to his usual Sylphy.

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

"...... but I can't figure it out."

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

"Hmm? What?"

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

"Why would my father listen to such a man?

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

　Our marriage has already been decided, and he would not overrule it with a game won or lost.

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

Oh, yeah.

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

...... That's right.

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

It never occurred to me because I was so bloody mad at him for making fun of my house.

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

I believe that the marriage has already been notified to the leading nobles, including the royal family.

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

They looked like they came to me because of the rumors, but they should have known about it long before that.

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

...... Do you think there is more to this story?

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

As I was trying to sort out the situation based on Sylphy's words, it seemed that someone had paid a visit, even at this strange time of the evening.

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

No way, is it that idiot aristocrat (Claude) again?

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

When I tried to get up, I and Aisha went to the front door.

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

A few moments later, Aisha comes back with someone.

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

"Hmm? I'm getting a sense of deja vu. ......"

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

Aisha's face has an awed expression on it, as if she has seen it somewhere before.

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

...... You don't think it's her brother-in-law, do you?

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

Just as I think that, Sylphy speaks up.

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

"...... Luis! Why are you coming here?

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

Huh? Who is it?

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

"Nice to meet you, I'm Luis Augusta, brother of your sister Sylphide over there.

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

　I'm looking forward to working with you, brother-in-law.

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

The one who greets me so mischievously is the second prince of this country.

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

His Royal Highness Prince Luis Augusta.

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

Oh, how did our family come to have so many royalty in our family? .......

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

Of course I know it's because I'm marrying Sylphy.

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

You see?

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

Normally, you see royalty only once in a lifetime or so, you know?

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

No, it's more likely that you won't.

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

Like my brother-in-law the other day, I'm getting dizzy.

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

And he calls me "brother-in-law. ...... No, I'm not wrong, but .......

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

"By the way sister, did Sir Claude Roselia visit you?"

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

His Highness Prince Luis, without even greeting me, spoke to his sister, Sylphy.

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

"......Yes, he just came and tried to fight with me, so I turned him away."

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

"Wow, you didn't make it. ......, did that idiot say anything?"

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

"...... said some pretty unsavory things, like if we played a game and we won, they'd annul the marriage.

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

　He also said that father approved of it. Luis."

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

"Huh. ...... I knew it. That's what that idiot would say.

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

　First of all, let me clear up the biggest misconception of all, my father never admitted to such a thing.

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

　He said, "Well, let's think about it," with a bit of an agenda.

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

　I think he was just trying to get through to you."

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

Yes, that's what Sylphy said earlier.

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

The king had an agenda .......

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

After that, His Highness Luis explained to me in detail what had happened.

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

It seems that there are 8 people who opposed the marriage with the idiot nobleman (Claude) and planned to play games with him.

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

Not only Lucas, but also the sons of noble families in the capital and neighboring towns.

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

These eight sons.

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

In fact, they have a very bad reputation.

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

It is said that they are lining their own pockets by making unreasonable demands of the common people, using their nobility as an excuse.

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

If that were the case, it would not be so unusual, but a certain slave trader has recently made a complaint to the king.

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

Claude and his party "smuggled juvenile dragons into the kingdom."

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

Slavers originally deal not only with humans and subhumans but also with demons.

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

There are various demands for them, such as for viewing or for fighting.

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

There are some races and demons that slavers are prohibited by law from dealing with.

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

Dragons are included in the list of those prohibited to be handled.

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

Then, why are dragons prohibited?

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

The dragon species is extremely intelligent.

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

Ancient species can even understand and speak human languages.

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

Of course, such a large adult dragon cannot be treated as a slave by humans.

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

That is why we are dealing with young dragons. ......

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

Yes, we deal with juvenile dragons. .......

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

A juvenile dragon, that is, a child dragon.

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

Of course, children have parents, and how would the parents react when the child is gone?

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

Even a pre-adult can understand that.

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

The answer, of course, is "they're coming back for it."

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

We don't know how the idiot aristocrat (Claude) got his hands on the young dragon.

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

But the parent dragon will not remain silent for long.

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

I am sure that they are looking for the child even as we speak.

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

...... This is important.

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

We don't know where they are hiding the juvenile dragons, but it means that adult dragons are coming to attack that town.

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

If that happens, ...... the town will be destroyed.

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

It's not just the Orc King.

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

"...... Is it true what they say?"

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

Sylphy asks His Highness Luis with a frown.

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

Of course it is, it is not an easy story to believe.

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

"...... perhaps," is all I can say at the moment.

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

　It's a tip from a trusted slaver, so it's probably true.

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

　But I can't corroborate it yet.

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

　We can't use force against the leading nobles of each town because we don't know if it's true or not.

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

　If it's not true, I can't just say I'm sorry, even if it's my father.

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

　That's why I'm trying so hard to gather evidence.

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

......Are we in a very bad situation? Kore.

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

Huh? But why does this lead to a statement like the king approving of the game?

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

"Um, how is this connected to the game we were just talking about?"

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

His Highness Lewis, having got the message, begins to explain.

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

It seems that the suspects in this dragon fiasco are the exact same people who objected to our marriage and proposed the game.

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

We checked the game with them and found out that they are willing to cheat.

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

They petitioned the king, objected to the marriage already decreed by the king, and cheated in the games held.

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

If this is discovered, they will surely be detained.

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

For whatever reason, they will be able to tell about the dragons once they are bound.

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

That is what the king thought, and he gave permission without giving any statement.

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

They were supposed to tell us about this before they told us about the game, but for some reason they moved too fast and we couldn't contact them in time.

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

......The reason why they moved so fast: .......

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

I have an idea.

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

I think it's my fault to the fullest.

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

The "rumor" spread and they found out where Sylphy is.

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

Oh, so I'm the biggest fool after all!

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

I'm very sorry, no really. .......

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

"...... I see, so you wanted us to play this game.

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

　What do you think our marriage is about?

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

Sylphy starts to complain loudly.

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

No, but I don't think this is the way to go.

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

There may be other ways to do it, but it is certainly an opportunity to make the conversation go smoothly.

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

"But I have a question.

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

　Even if they are idiots, how could they not consider the possibility of an adult dragon coming to take it back?"

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

"...... I don't know if it's true because I heard it from a slaver."

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

Well, here comes an even more amazing story.

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

...... They are going to sell it to a neighboring country.

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

There are rumors that a demon nation is invading, and that an enchanted dragon would be a great asset to their war effort. .......

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

And if we sell them off, no adult dragons will come to our country.

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

What a despicable thing to think.

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

Absolutely unforgivable, those people.

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

"I see, they are even more low-life than I imagined. ......It's pathetic that such a person is a leading aristocrat in our country. ......"

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

"Well, that's why, sister.

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

　I'm sorry, but could you take them up on their offer?

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

　Of course, losing does not and will not cancel the marriage.

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

　...... but your brother-in-law won't lose to them."

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

"...... sir, I'm sorry, but that's the way it is. I hope you don't mind if I take you up on your offer.

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

Sylphy asks me apologetically.

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

My answer is, of course, obvious.

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

"Yes, of course!

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

I'm going to make good on my grudge against you for making fun of my house after the ...... story.

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

What? No?
