Right now, Cain is sitting on the sofa in the reception room in the royal castle.
　There is no one in the room. Outside the door, though, a maid who works at the royal castle is waiting for him.
　I don't understand the meaning of making a single five-year-old child wait in this room.
　Earlier, a few butlers and maids appeared, and they suddenly stripped me of my clothes, measured my body size, and made me change into a new nobleman's uniform.
　The reason being that, as expected, they couldn't have an audience with the king in their traveling nobleman's clothes.

　This audience, it is true that we defeated thirty orcs and saved the princess and Miss Silk.
　I'm sure the knights told you what happened, so what is there to talk about now?

　As I was thinking about various things, there was a knock on the door and a person in a butler's uniform came in.

''Cain-sama, please prepare for your audience.

'Oh, um, ...... I don't even know how to get an audience.

It is true that an audience with a five-year-old is very rare. When you enter the audience chamber, please go straight to the end of the carpet, kneel down on one knee, put your hands on your chest and bow your head. After that, I will call out to you on a moment-by-moment basis, so I'm sure you won't mind.

Thank you.

　Cain thanked the butler for his polite instruction.

''Let's go then.''

Okay. Nice to meet you.

　He continues down the hallway and is made to stand in front of a large door.
　The door opens and you move forward. On either side were people who seemed to be noblemen, lined up on either side. Of course, his father, Garum, is also in line.
　Advancing to a break in the carpet, Cain gets down on one knee and bows his head.

'Face up,'

　His Majesty's voice came from the front.
　I look up as I was briefed earlier. His Majesty sat on the throne in front, with the Queen and her children standing around him. Of course, the third princess, Terestia, was also lined up. Teres is smiling while looking at Cain.
　His Majesty, seated on the throne, is dressed in fine clothes and wearing a crown like a king. He has blond hair and looks to be in his forties, but he seems to be working out, with a solid body and a beard.
　From the side, a man in his fifties or so with white hair came out. It's the vizier I heard you talk about earlier.

''Your Highness Princess Telestia and Miss Cirque von Santana have just been attacked by a pack of fifty orcs.

　The nobles in the audience room all buzzed at the content.

Then Cain von Silford jumped into the deathtrap and killed thirty orcs single-handedly. After his defeat, he healed his wounded knights with magic and brought back his deceased knights to the capital.

　When they heard that he had killed thirty of them by himself, more nobles in line made a noise.

''I will give you a reward there. Your Majesty, please take care of them.''

　The Prime Minister finished his explanation.
　The King nodded.

Cain von Silford, you have done an excellent job. If it were not for you, neither Telestia nor Miss Silk would have survived. I hereby anoint Cain von Silford as Baronet. And I give him ten platinum pieces of gold and a house in King's Landing.

　The nobles in line make another round of noise. It's louder than before.
　From among the noisy nobles, one noble stepped forward. He was shaking his fat body.

''Oh, please wait, Your Majesty. You can't be ordained at the age of five, no matter how old you are. He's still such a child.''

　One of them seems to disagree. No, I have to admit, I disagree. A master of high society doesn't know what to do.

Shut up. "Shut up, Marquis Corzino. "Shut up, Marquis Corzino, you can't just walk into a dead body and destroy 30 orcs by yourself?

That said, .......

　The Marquis still disagrees.

'Cain von Silford was your third son, wasn't he? He is not a legitimate son of the Silford family today. What happens if a boy of this caliber is sent away to the wilds? I won't change my decision. Step back!

　The Marquis of Corzino steps back into the line of nobles, glaring at Cain.

'It's Cain von Silford. Don't accept it.

　The king stared straight at Cain.

　The king's gaze was scary.
　He looked at the face of the vizier standing beside him.
　The vizier nodded silently.
　He also looked at the face of Garum standing on the other side.
　He just nodded silently as well.

　Cain took a breath and then answered.

''Ah, I will gratefully accept .......''

　He was in no condition to say no to five-year-old Cain in this atmosphere.

''This audience is now concluded. Your Majesty, I would ask you to leave.''

　After those words, His Majesty exited. The royal family followed behind him as he exited.

''The details will be explained in another room. I'll show you around, you can wait there.''

　The Prime Minister told me to leave and Cain also left. The maid showed us to a room with a table and enough chairs to seat about ten people.
　While I was waiting in the room, the first person who came was my father, Garum.

I'm sorry to keep you waiting," he said. I didn't expect you to be knighted. I didn't expect it, including the mansion in King's Landing. I thought you were the third son and you were the first to rise to the occasion.

　He pats me on the head as he says this.
　As the two of them are talking, the door opens and several people come in.
　The first to come in is His Majesty, who was in the center earlier, followed by the Queen, the Prime Minister, Her Royal Highness Princess Telestia, Miss Silk, and someone who seems to be Miss Silk's father.
　Silk looked at Cain and smiled and waved at him.
　In a situation where the upper echelons of a country like this are all here, it's not very possible to switch them around.
　The king was the first to sit in the middle chair at the far end.

The king sat down first in the middle chair at the far end. You may sit down.

　After those words, everyone begins to sit down.
　Cain sits down to face His Majesty.

'Alright, we're all here. Cain, first of all, thank you so much for this time. Telestia has told me about you.

　The King bows his head. The queen bowed as well.

'Cain-kun, let me thank you as well,' she said, 'I'm Silk's father, Eric von Santana Malbeek. This is Eric von Santana Malbeek, Silk's father. Thank you so much. It's thanks to you that Silk was spared.

　The duke also bows his head. The king and the duke bowed to the five-year-old Cain.

''Your Majesty, Queen and Duke, please raise your heads. I only came to help someone who was being attacked.''

　The king, queen and duke raise their heads.

''Thank you. But again, I thank you not as a king, but as a parent. So let's talk.

Everyone nodded.

'And yet, may I ordain five year old Cain?

'My father, Garm,' asked His Majesty.

'It's all right, Garum. I have heard of Telestia. You are five years old, and your magic and swordsmanship are top-notch, and you even have an item box. You are very good for a five year old. You have your blessings. You can't leave your country so good-natured as to neglect such a talented child.

His Majesty chuckled at Cain.
　Cain couldn't help but feel a cold sweat on his back.

The first thing that comes to mind is that I'm only five years old, it's nothing to do. I have not even attended the school yet. You will be paid according to the regulations. And we have to maintain the mansion. If you have any questions about the nobility, ask Garum.

'Thank you. I'll talk to my father and see what I can do.

You know, I have something more important to tell you.

The king turned serious. Then he and Duke Eric looked at each other and nodded at each other.

I am Cain. If you are willing, I would like to ask you to take my Telestia and Eric's Miss Silk.　Of course, we won't be officially married until after we've reached adulthood, but for now, you're my fiancée.

"[！！！！！！！！！]

　Garum was aghast. Of course, so was Cain.

　He looked at Telestia and Silk, both of them red in the face.

'...... That's right, that's what the hell ......, why, your majesty?'

It's Cain. You don't remember. In the carriage, at the inn, on the road.

　In the carriage, in the carriage, Cain remembered in his mind what had happened.
　Sure enough, in the carriage they rode in together, the princess and Miss Silk were sitting next to each other, arm in arm.
　As for the inn, they shared a bed and slept together in the same room, rooted by Princess Telestia's highness, who was adamant that they would stay in the same room. It wasn't the same bed, and Cain thought it wasn't a problem since they were only five years old.

'If an unmarried woman from a royal family or a duke's family was sleeping in the same room at the inn with an unmarried man and had her arms around him in the carriage, how could I give her to another wife now?　Or is our daughter not good enough for you?

　His Majesty says to Cain. The silent pressure from the duke and the two men hit Cain.
　Cain didn't grasp if the royal family was that strict.
　Not knowing what to do, Cain turned to the vizier, thinking. The vizier was silent and simply nodded his head.


I have received ....... However, please put the feelings of Princess Telestia and Miss Silk first.

　The mere return of those words was enough to exhaust Cain's strength.

'I've taken my word. Did you hear that, Telestia, Miss Silk? That's good, both of you.

　They both turned red, held their mouths and nodded with tears in their eyes.



　Thus, at the age of five, Cain had two fiancées.
