It was in the morning that I noticed something unusual.

A harpy living in the forest came in with eggs as usual. Usually, Peris or Gon would receive them, but on that day, Rico happened to be in the garden.

"Beep, beep, beep, beep..."

"Wow. Is this the first time you brought it here by yourself today? That's great."

"...Rico, are you having a conversation with the harpy?"

The education and etiquette skills have been improved. Moreover, the level of the skill has been raised all at once. What is this?

In the meantime, I will appraise Gon, Ilimo, Geneha, and Peris. Although some of the skills have been improved, there is no significant increase as in the case of Rico. Finally, I appraise Meirias.

"Perhaps, when you and your husband are married, your skills will increase. Perhaps it is the effect of the blessing skill.

Immediately, I flew to the princess. Naturally, I prepared various tributes.

"What, you didn't know? If you make a conjugal bond with a person who has a skill of blessing, the subject's skill will be increased. Of course, this is only if the skill of the person who has the blessed skill is high. Since you are skilled, various effects may be given to you.

"So you're saying that the more you do, the more your skills improve?"

No, you can only raise it once with the marriage contract. Because of this characteristic, the bearer of the blessing must take care of himself. If anyone raises his or her skills, the world will be disturbed. That's why I call my retainers back every three years, to see how they are taking care of themselves.

Oh, my God. Having a relationship with me will increase your skill set. This is gonna be a big deal when the world finds out.

Thanks to the increase in skill, I hear that Marias' research is progressing. Ideas are coming out of her head. Thanks to this, she has started to spend her free time in the laboratory.

In between her busy schedule, she has completed the sheath of the Holy Sword. It is an excellent device that naturally repairs spills and keeps the sword in a well-maintained condition. Needless to say, I hugged her.

Rico's level of education increased and he had more chances to talk with Peris and Jeneha. What they were talking about, we wondered, produced a surprise. He had created a soy sauce. A soy sauce that goes well with my tofu. Naturally, the repertoire of dishes in our house has increased dramatically. Naturally, Rico hugged him a lot.

Finally, the mourning of the previous emperor was over and the coronation of His Imperial Highness Prince Heet was to take place. As a member of the family, we were allowed to attend the coronation, and once again we were dressed in formal wear, which we were not accustomed to wearing, and attended the ceremony with Rico.

Rico was really beautiful. After all, every aristocrat who passed us looked back at us. Who is that woman? It's Licorette." "What? I could hear conversations like this everywhere, and I, the husband, was a bit proud of myself.

Rico, who had been at Miyagi for a long time as a princess, was surprisingly good at taking care of herself. I had assumed that she had grown up a princess and had never held anything heavier than chopsticks, but she was able to put on her own dress beautifully and was good at sewing. This is due to the influence of her late tutor, Mrs. Krumphal, who taught her to do everything by herself. Her independence seems to have been nurtured in this way.

After the grand coronation ceremony, we were summoned by the new emperor.

As one would expect from an imperial coronation, it's a wonderfully lavish affair.

Since the uprising last year, Rico's vassals and ladies-in-waiting have been kept away. Moreover, all those involved in the rebellion, not to mention those deemed likely to be involved, are either in prison or under house arrest.

"I have not yet discussed this with the Prime Minister, but I am thinking of granting amnesty to all those who were involved in last year's rebellion.

"Brother... is that all right?"

Count Krumphal, who plotted the rebellion, has already been put to death. Those who took part in it have been cut down along with the Count. I do not wish any more blood to be spilled, and it will not sound good if it is spilled soon after my ascension to the throne. I hear that many of the captives are of low rank, but capable men. I recall Lycorette telling me that the empire does not make the most of its talents. I would rather use those talented men than cut them down."

"But, Your Majesty, what business do these people have now that they've been released?"

That's what I'm talking about. I would like to entrust the late Lord Rinos with the administration of Krumfal territory.

"Isn't that... too much to ask? And I'm from the Kingdom of Juka."

No, ostensibly I will let my brother Vilas rule. Llinos and Lycoretto will send the pardoned men to Krumfal and give them a place to serve. That territory has never been very lucrative. There are forests where demons can be found. Well, there is the sea, and the salt from the sea is tasty..."

Where is this Krumphal territory?

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

Northeast of the capital, just beyond Lake Kasarm.

From our mansion, if you go east through the forest, you will reach Krumfal territory.

How far would that be?

From the capital, it's a day's ride by horseback. From our mansion, two days at the most, or a day and a half by horseback.

"For now, leave the troublesome matters to the Prime Minister. This is now the domain of the Imperial Family. Do as you please. If you can achieve success there and produce something to present to the Imperial Household, that's good; if not, that's still good. But do not do anything that will alienate the people or cause them to revolt. Well, I don't think that will be the case with you, Mr. Rinos.

"I don't know about that."

No, you have my sister Lycorette in such good hands. It is easy for you to tame the people with your skills, Master Linos.

I don't know if that's how it works.

He is saying it gently, but in a manner of speaking directly from the Emperor himself. If the Prime Minister is consulted, it means that it is issued as an order. As an honorary marquis, I am in no position to disobey the order.

At any rate, after leaving His Majesty's service, we went to the Prime Minister's room and told him what had happened. The Prime Minister, with his head in his hands

He was saddened. I could have refused, but I would have had to send the entire job to the Prime Minister, so I begged him not to do so, half crying.

After spending the night at a luxury hotel in the capital, we returned to our residence. On the way, a black object passed over Ilimo as he flew in the sky. It did not seem to be an enemy, since there was no indication on the map.

I didn't notice it, but the black shadow was muttering to itself as it watched us.
