With introductions, there is great applause, and then the toast is over and the music plays again in the hall.
　Cain's three fiancées begin to line up as one by one, the nobles come to greet them.
　I looked at the three fiancées with a sideways glance and saw that they were wearing a thin layer of makeup and were so beautiful that even Cain, who is used to seeing them, could not help but admire them.

'Cain, you asked for our silk. Well, I'm sure you'll be fine no matter what. And--

　Duke Eric looks at Cain and speaks in a whisper.

''...... You won't have children until you're an adult, will you?''

Hey!

Shit!　Your father!

　Silk, who was next to me, seemed to hear it too, and she argued against it, her face turning red.
　Telestia also seemed to have heard, and perhaps she was delusional, looking upwards a bit but blushing and holding her cheeks with her hands.
　Duke Lathan also smiles and says, "Let's do another mock line!　I asked for Tifana," he said with a single word and moved away. After that, the head of the family and his family, said to be a senior nobleman, let out a series of congratulations.
　Then the familiar Marquis Corzino came to greet them, accompanied by his son Habit.
　The Marquis of Corzino looks a little unhappy, but tells Cain his blessing. Habit, who was next to him, was silent and sullen throughout. He probably thinks that Cain has taken him to the side for being s*xually attracted to silk in some way since the unveiling of his five year old. Moreover, he even has Princess Telestia, who is also a beautiful woman, as his fiancée. It's impossible not to be jealous.
　However, the other party, although they are the same age, is the head of a high ranking noble family, the Countess. There was no way he could complain about it.
　While the two men were leaving with a grudge, they exchanged words with the nobles who came to greet them one by one.
　Then Garum and Sarah, who were smiling all the time, came to greet them, accompanied by Rayne, who looked a bit grumpy.

''Cain, even though you are engaged, you haven't even come of age yet. You do understand, don't you?

Cain, let's see that cute little boy soon!

　Cain chuckles at the two men who say the exact opposite.

'Your Highness Princess Telestia, Mistress Silk, Lord Tifana, I have asked for you, about Cain.

　Garum bows his head lightly to the three of them.
　The three of them are surprised by his appearance and reply back.

''Cain-sama will do his best with us.

We're all in this together, so we're going to have fun.

I'm having a strong baby.

　Only Tifana had a problem with her words, but Cain nodded while flushing.

''Rayne-sister, I look forward to working with you in the future.

'Please be good to me, sister Rayne.

　Rayne's expression loosened at those words from Telestia and Silk.

''--Onee-sama...... onee-sama...... ugh. Eh!　Of course!　Let's get along as sisters!

　Rayne, who had never had a sister before, gave a big smile at the word 'sister'.
　With Rayne in a good mood, Garum and Sarah took Rayne with them and shifted off to the side as it was for the next person.

　After that, a few more pairs of senior nobles continued to greet each other, and once the senior nobles' greetings were over, it was the turn of the lower nobles below the Viscount.
　Viscount Tris came over, wearing a nobleman's uniform that was raised with muscles and showing a bold smile.
　He was guarding the city of Ramesta's fort in the Gracia territory, and they had met at the time of the five-year-old's unveiling.

''Sir Cain, congratulations on this occasion. I never thought that that little boy would grow up to be so fine. I'm sure our soldiers will be delighted.

　Tris spoke with a smile, but it was still with a choice of words for Cain, who had become an earl.

''Oh no, Viscount Tris, please do what you used to do.

　Cain says so, but Viscount Tris shakes his head.

He said, "It's not going to happen. You are already a senior nobleman. It's a good idea to be careful when meeting privately, but in an official place like this, people will be very noisy.

　Cain reluctantly shook his head at Viscount Tris' explanation.

''We'll talk again at my father's mansion.

　At Cain's words, Viscount Tris smiled and nodded and disappeared into the crowd.
　After greeting several people in turn, it was Viscount Langdosha's turn to meet him at the entrance of the royal castle.

''Earl Silford, I'm sorry for my daytime. You seemed to be in high spirits since you hadn't been to King's Landing in a while.''

　Cain, who had a good feeling about Viscount Langdosha bowing honestly, replied with a smile.

''Don't worry about it. I'd like to thank you once again.''

　Raising his head at Cain's words, Viscount Langdosha relaxed his cheeks and shook hands with Cain.
　When the conversation with Viscount Langdosha was over, the next person waiting for him was Viscount Santos, who was also Sarah's father.

''Sir Cain, it's been a long time. It's a real congratulations to you today. I didn't expect to be elevated to the rank of Earl ....... Moreover, His Royal Highness the Princess and Miss Silk as well. It's a good thing that you're able to get a good idea of what's to come. That's my grandson.

　Viscount Langdosha, who was still nearby, also returned in response to the word 'grandson'.

'Sir Cain, I see that Sir Santos was said to be your grandson: ......'

　Before Cain can respond to Viscount Langdosha's words, Viscount Santos opens his mouth.

He said, "Lord Langdosha, yes, my grandson. My daughter has married the Earl of the Frontier of Garum.

　Viscount Santos, who was in a good mood, surprised Viscount Langdosha as well.

''No way, is that so ....... I am indebted to Lord Santos. I didn't know there was such a connection .......

Well, if we stay here to talk, the others will not be able to say hello. Let us talk over there. So long, Sir Cain.

　After they left, they continued to greet the nobles, and Cain was suddenly exhausted after greeting them for over an hour.
　Telestia and Silk were already at the table, chatting with schoolmates who were close in age.
　Tifana, too, was surrounded by a group of muscular military officers, who were excited to talk.
　It would be no wonder that she was more sword-ready than time, as she had a brainy streak in her.
　When I got a drink from the maids and finally settled down, the party was nearing the end of the day, and the saint gave me a blessing at the end, and I was supposed to end it with the king's words.

'You're almost there: ......

　I looked at Hinata, but she was sitting around the same table as the kings, nodding, though expressionlessly, at the words from the royals.


　And the party was coming to an end.
　The king stood in the hall, where the music had stopped and it was quiet, and he looked around at everyone.

'It's been a good time, but it's time to go. It is time for me to have a last word from Her Highness. Please take care of your saint.

　Hinata stood up at the king's words and stood beside him.
　Cain, who felt Hinata's face was vaguely red, looked at the table Hinata was sitting at and saw a glass of wine that seemed to have been drunk halfway through.

'...... maybe ......'

　A little uneasy, Cain looked at Hinata's face and his gaze met hers. Hinata smiled at him with a slight blush on her face.

''Thank you for inviting me here today. Thus, as a saint, I congratulate you on your recent engagement to Count Cain von Silford, Princess Telestia, Princess Silk and Tifana. And--

　Then Hinata continued with words of divine adoration as a saint.

'-- Finally, I received an oracle yesterday that I was praying in church. I will now speak those words to you.

　There were no nobles who were not surprised to hear that it was an "oracle". There was a great deal of applause and cheering for Hinata.
　Of course, the king, the senior nobles and even the bishop who managed the Esfort Kingdom were surprised to hear that it was an oracle.

''I would like to present the oracle from God as it is here,''

　Hinata majestically took in a sweeping view of the nobles in the hall from one level higher.
　Finally, she looked at Cain and smiled mischievously again.

(I feel bad about something ....... I hope those gods aren't saying anything weird. ......)

　Cain's face tensed up as he felt uneasy at the smile.

'The oracle from God said. 'Hinata, you will be the wife of Cain von Silford Drintle, and henceforth you will support your husband, Cain von Silford Drintle, with your present fiancé,' and this will be the word from God.


「「「「「「「「「「「............」」」」」」」」」」」


　No one spoke a word.
　Everyone here pulled a face at the shocking oracle.
　Of course, Cain, who knew the faces of the gods, had the worst look on his face. Hinata, with a reluctant look on her face, continued to speak.

''I too will obey the oracle given to me by the gods.

　Having said that, Hinata nodded with a smile.
　The aristocrats, including the king, were immensely pleased with her words.
　Of course, Cain was also stunned by the contents of the oracle.
　He said that the daughters of the royal families and dukes would join the man they were engaged to, and even a saint.
　It's not that easy to admit. Speaking of saints, they are the second most praised person in this world's teachings after the Marinefordian God.

'Seh, saintly lord ....... That's too much to ask .......

　When the king finally speaks, Hinata follows him.

'It's an oracle. And you don't obey it?''

Yeah, that's ......


　Everyone was about to end the engagement party with a drawn-out smile on their faces.
