72-King Glendale and his brother




 
 We were able to win this month's match and keep our classroom.

 We had a victory party in the central district as usual, and on another day I took Ryushin and Meldy to buy them a meal at a fancy restaurant, and the days passed.


 Me, Tina and Rifa's wedding reception was finally approaching the day after tomorrow.

 I'm still at school today, but the wedding banquet is being held at Count Silverlei's estate, so I have to return to my parents' house tomorrow.

 Everyone in the class will also be attending the wedding banquet.

 As I was preparing to return to my parents' house tomorrow, I had a visitor.

 I happen to be near the front door and answer it.


"Oh, hi, Hurt, good to see you. You've grown up.

"Hey, Your Majesty!

 I opened the door, and there he was, the king of this country.

 I hurriedly fell to my knees.

 I had been acquainted with King Glendale since the king was still a prince.

 He had met him several times when his father, who was an earl, had taken him to the royal castle.

"Don't be afraid of me, Hurt," he said. Come on, get up. I was brought here today by your brother.

Good to see you, Hurt, how are you doing?

 Cain, the eldest brother, came out from behind the king.

'Brother Cain, long time no see. I'm as fine as this.

 Cain is a member of this country's knightly order, and it seems that he's been busy with a lot of things lately, so I haven't had a chance to see him.

''By the way, Your Majesty, why are you here today? If it was your business, I would have come to you.

"I heard that my SS commander's brother has gotten married. I've come to congratulate him. Wouldn't it be strange to invite him over to celebrate?

Oh, thank you.

 Hmm? The Gruppenführer's brother?

 What? Are you suggesting...

Um... is your brother the captain of the royal guard?

Yeah, I'm moving up.

He was close in age and easy to talk to, so I took him in. And you're a good soldier, too.

 Unbeknownst to me, my brother had risen in the ranks.

 He was supposed to have been a mere knight, but his brother had joined the king's SS in this country and even became a captain.

 In the first place, to join the knightly order of this country, one needs quite a bit of rank and ability.

 Well, his older brother was quite strong when he was given a sword, and he was well-liked, and he thought that he would be in the platoon commander class of the Knights of the Order one day.

 However, I was surprised to see him become an SS captain, as expected.

''Brother, congratulations on your promotion. You should have let me know.

Thanks, man. Sorry, I've been busy.

"I apologize as well. Cain was instrumental in protecting me. He's a serious guy. My brother was getting married, and I wasn't even going to be there for the celebration.

Well, then...

Yeah, I came here today to force Cain to come here under the guise of an escort.

 Oh, geez.

 I feel a little, no, quite apologetic.

'Of course I'm going to the wedding party the day after tomorrow.

What?

I've heard that Halt's marriage is to the hero Tina, the princess of Alheime-the defender of this world and the princess of another country married to our nobleman. The defender of this world and a princess from another country married to one of our nobles. As the king of this country, it is my duty to celebrate.

Oh, really?

By the way, I've already informed Count Silverlei that I'm coming.

 Oh my God.

 It looks like it's already been confirmed that King Glendale will be at the wedding banquet.

 Our wedding reception is going to be something of a big deal.


'What's the matter, Master Hurt? Oh, Your Majesty.

 Tina came to check on him.

 'Tina knows King Glendale, too,' she said.

"Oh, Tina. You look as beautiful as ever. I congratulate you on your marriage to Hurt. It is a great pleasure to have a hero like you marry one of our own.

Thank you.

 Tina bowed deeply.


 A little while after Tina arrived, Rifa also came over to check on her.

''Mr. Hurt, who are these people?''

He's the king of Glendale. And that's my brother at the back.

'Well! My name is Rifa, former Second Princess of the Kingdom of Alheim.

 Rifa bows.

 As expected of a former royal.
 It's all very impressive.

'I am the king of Glendale. I heard that Alheim was attacked by Apristos the other day, but I'm glad it wasn't anything serious.

'Thank you for your concern. Mr. Hurt here, Tina-sama and the rest of the Iphrus Magic Academy have helped me.

'So it seems. King Alheim gave me a leaf of the World Tree as a token of his gratitude and friendship. I hope to continue to work well with Alheim as a friendly nation.

What a shame.

'Well done Hurt. You have established a friendship with Alheim. You must make sure Rifa-dono is happy so that we can continue that relationship in the future.

Yes, I'm sure.


 It seemed that he had finished saying everything he wanted to say, and the king returned to the castle with his sentries in tow.

 It was agreed that Cain would talk to us some more and then return.

 Cain is the king's bodyguard.

 He was planning to return to the castle with the king, but the king told him to talk to us for a while and then come back, and the SS recommended it, so Cain stayed.

 I lead Cain to the reception room.


'Hmm, what's this?'

 White was asleep on the couch in the parlor.

 I thought he hadn't been here since this morning, but here he was.

'It's my pet White,'

I have a feeling it's not just a dog... well, I don't think it's a god-beast, is it?

 What? You know?

 Come to think of it, my sister Charles had a cheat skill like mind-reading or something like that, so it wasn't surprising that Cain, who was touted as having more various talents than Charles, also had some abilities.

''Brother, are you someone who can see an aura or something?''

No, it's more of a hunch.

...Is it possible that you have those skills?

'Oh! You're well aware of that, Hurt. Super intuition is a skill.

 I really had it, cheat skills.
 What's going on with the Silverlei family?

 And now it looks like my second brother has some abilities too.


"My Lord, you'll be dressed for tomorrow, but you're not expecting visitors.

 Yoko, who had been looking for me, came into the reception room.

"Kyu, nine-tailed fox? What is a demon tribe doing here?

 Wow, that's some pretty good intuition.
 He saw through Yoko's true identity in an instant.

"Brother, he's my errand boy, he'll be fine.

What the hell are you talking about? It's a nine-tailed fox!

 I knew you wouldn't believe me...

""Mr. Hurt, about tomorrow... oh, I'm sorry.

 At an inopportune time, Mai and Mei also came to the reception room.

''Now there are two high-level spirits? ''What's going on here!''

 I then told Cain how my family had grown to this point.

 Of course, there was no way I could hide anything from my brother, who has super intuition, and I ended up telling him about my being a reincarnated person.

 In fact, it seems that Cain had always noticed the fact that I was a reincarnated person with his super intuition.
